CapStone Bank in Raleigh, N.C., has agreed to buy Patriot State Bank in Fuquay-Varina, N.C.,  for roughly $10.6 million.

The $237 million-asset CapStone would pay in a combination of cash and stock for Patriot, which has three branches and $139 million of assets.

Under the deal, Patriot shareholders can elect to receive 0.80 shares of CapStone common stock in exchange for each share of Patriot common stock, $6.45 a share in cash or a combination of cash and stock.

The deal is expected to close by yearend. Raymond James & Associates and Gaeta & Eveson advised CapStone. Patriot State was advised by The Orr Group and Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton.
