Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYBT), parent company of Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, with offices in the Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati metropolitan markets, today announced that its annual meeting of shareholders for 2020 has been changed to a virtual-only meeting format due to the public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID‑19).

The meeting will now be conducted through a live audio webcast and shareholders will not be able to attend in person at a physical location.
