Erik Yohe Named Chief Strategy Officer and Walter Clarke Named Chief Financial Officer

Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) (“Hilltop”) today announced that Erik Yohe has been named Chief Strategy Officer of the company’s banking subsidiary, PlainsCapital Bank (the “Bank”), while Walter Clarke has been named the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer.

“I am proud to welcome Erik and Walter to their new roles, and I could not ask for a more talented, capable, and committed group of proven leaders throughout our organization,” said Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop and Chairman and CEO of PlainsCapital Bank. “These changes will enhance the Bank’s already strong leadership team and put us in an even better position to build upon PlainsCapital’s success as a relationship-driven banking leader in Texas. I look forward to continuing our focus on supporting our customers as we pursue new opportunities for growth throughout the markets we serve.”

Yohe has been with Hilltop for 13 years, most recently serving as Executive Vice President, Corporate Development where he oversaw Hilltop’s merger and acquisition activities, led the company’s Investor Relations department, and supported a variety of strategic initiatives. He also served on the Investment Committee of Hilltop’s merchant banking arm, Hilltop Opportunity Partners. As PlainsCapital’s Chief Strategy Officer, he will lead the Bank’s strategic planning and development, and partner with executive management to identify and execute on new initiatives to improve performance and enhance the Bank’s growth profile. Yohe will report to Ford and PlainsCapital Bank President Brian Heflin.

Clarke previously served as Director of Corporate Financial Planning at Hilltop since 2017 and brings 19 years of finance, accounting, strategy, and operations experience to his new role. As PlainsCapital’s CFO, Clarke will oversee all financials and reporting with an enhanced focus on business finance and market support. He will report to Ford and Hilltop CFO William B. Furr.

With Yohe’s transition to Chief Strategy Officer at PlainsCapital, Hilltop Vice President of Corporate Development Matt Dunn will now oversee Hilltop’s merger and acquisition activities, Investor Relations department, and join the Investment Committee of Hilltop Opportunity Partners.
