Alexandria, VA – Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. (the “Company”) (OTCPK: BHRB), the bank holding company for Burke & Herbert Bank & Trust Company, announced that it submitted an application to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market®. The Company also filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “Form 10”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). The Form 10 filing provides information on the strategy and historical financial data of the Company.
