We are excited about our growth and future of our company.

Prosperity has a strong capital position that provides us with flexibility in pursuing strategic opportunities such as mergers and acquisitions and the repurchase of our stock when appropriate. We expect that our net interest margin will continue to expand to our historically normal levels as our assets reprice over the next several years, increasing our earnings per share".
