First National of Nebraska Closes Acquisition of Northland Capital Holdings


First National of Nebraska, Inc. (FNNI) today announced that it has closed on its acquisition of Northland Capital Holdings, including its subsidiary Northland Securities, Inc. (Northland), which was originally announced in January.

"First National of Nebraska is delighted to fully welcome Northland and have already seen great alignment with the teams," said David Cota, Executive Vice President, FNNI. "This transaction has been incredibly positive on many fronts, and we look forward to building on the momentum we've seen so far."

Northland Securities will operate as a subsidiary of FNNI, and the Northland brand will continue with all Northland subsidiaries including Northland Securities and Northland's capital markets divisions.

This acquisition enhances the capabilities of First National Capital Markets, another FNNI subsidiary, and its strong presence in Nebraska municipal bond underwriting. Significantly, this also complements Northland's strong Midwest presence.

"As the past few months have confirmed, FNNI is a great fit for our clients and the Northland tam on every level," said Randy G. Nitzsche, Northland President and CEO. "We share the same commitment to meeting the financial goals of our individual, corporate, government, and non-profit clients with the highest levels of integrity and accountability, in addition to overall values to serve our collective customers."



Piper Sandler & Co. served as financial advisor to First National of Nebraska and Kutak Rock LLP served as legal advisor. Faegre Drinker served as legal advisor to Northland Securities.
