ATLANTA (PRWEB) April 04, 2019

TMI Holdings, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has acquired 100% of the stock of Salem Trust Company, a Tampa, Florida based trust company specializing in custody services for government retirement plans and institutional clients, in a friendly transaction to be effective on April 1, 2019.

In connection with the acquisition, TMI Trust Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of TMI Holdings, Inc. will merge with and into Salem Trust Company. The name of the resulting Florida trust company will be changed to TMI Trust Company.

Anthony A. Guthrie, Chairman of the Board of TMI Trust Company commented, "Salem Trust Company's expertise in custody services is a plug-and-play addition to the TMI family of services. Our two organizations have been operating in markets that have deep potential for the services of both trust companies. The synergy between TMI and Salem Trust creates a bridge for these services across the broad client spectrum."

Steven B. Eason, CEO of TMI Trust Company added, "Bringing together TMI and Salem Trust Companies creates a solid foundation of trust and custody services for the institutional and government market segments."
