(AUBURN) - Peoples Bancorp is taking itself private.
The Auburn-based bank will buy back its stock from small shareholders for $16.75 a share. Anyone with more than 760 shares will keep his stock, but that's only a few hundred people, which will make the bank ineligible to keep its listing on the NASDAQ.
Peoples says its shares don't trade much anyway, and going private will eliminate a lot of regulatory paperwork.
