Bank of Marin Bancorp (NasdaqCM:BMRC) seeks acquisitions in Bay Area. Russ Colombo, President & Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Marin Bancorp said, "Acquisitions remain an important component of our strategic plan. The Bay Area is the most attractive area in the country and we intend to expand our footprint through organic growth and strategic acquisition.

We're actively looking for opportunities, but have nothing new to report. Our culture dictates that we apply the same discipline while reviewing transactions as we do throughout our business. We remain firmly committed to future acquisitions in the Bay Area as a supplement to our organic growth throughout the region."
