R16536/45-1 Lineage Financial Network, Inc., a Tennessee corporation headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, intends to apply to the Federal Reserve Board for permission to form a bank holding company by merging with an existing registered bank holding compa- ny and, thereby, to indirectly acquire the bank subsidiary of the existing registered bank holding company into which we will merge. We intend to acquire control of Bumpushares, Inc., headquartered in Atwood, Tennessee (and thus to indirectly ac- quire its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Citizens Bank & Trust Company, headquar- tered in Atwood, Tennessee). The Federal Reserve considers a number of factors in deciding whether to approve the application, including the record of performance of banks we own in helping to meet local credit needs.
