The event celebrates the company's recent move of its common stock listing to NASDAQ. "Throughout this period of expansion, we have developed strong capabilities to respond to the range of interests and needs facing our customers," said Chairman David P. Heintzman. We have continued to build on our 100-year history as a leader in commercial lending to family-owned businesses, attracted some of the most talented people in the business to lead our private banking area, developed a thriving brokerage operation, and have homegrown a successful home mortgage lending business. Perhaps the best example of our relationship-driven philosophy can be seen in Stock Yards Trust Company, which has become one of the largest and most successful independent trust companies of its kind in the state. All of these services and capabilities, taken together, have helped form a strong foundation and lay the groundwork for the progress we envision in future years."

"So, with a century of service behind us, our goal now is to build on the Stock Yards Bank synergy, extending our enviable record of growth, prosperity, and above all, consistent performance. As we embrace these efforts, we thank NASDAQ for helping us take this message to the market."
