ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On September 30, 2010 (the “Transaction Date”), the Company issued and sold to North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“NAFH”) 700,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase up to 1,166,666,667 shares of Common Stock of the Company for aggregate consideration of $175 million. As a result, NAFH acquired and now controls 98.7% of the voting securities of the Company and followed the acquisition method of accounting and applied “acquisition accounting.”  Acquisition accounting requires that the assets purchased, the liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests all be reported in the acquirer’s financial statements at their fair value, with any excess of purchase consideration over the net assets being reported as goodwill.  As part of the valuation, intangible assets were identified and a fair value was determined as required by the accounting guidance for business combinations.  Accounting guidance also requires the application of “push down accounting,” whereby the adjustments of assets and liabilities to fair value and the resultant goodwill are shown in the financial statements of the acquiree.

                On November 15, 2010, the Company filed its report for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) which reflected estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information that was available at the time. Subsequent to the filing, we received updated estimates and on November 19, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary bank, TIB Bank (the “Bank”), filed an amended Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (“Call Report”) as of September 30, 2010 that incorporated such updated estimates. Accordingly, based upon these updated estimates, the amended Call Report included recomputed regulatory capital ratios that are higher than those in the Form 10-Q and consist of Tier 1 Leverage, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital of 7.8%, 12.9% and 12.9%, respectively. The Call Report is publicly available through the website of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, www.fdic.gov. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one-year from the Transaction Date. The estimates of fair value are subject to change and such changes could be significant. Based on the applicable accounting literature on business combinations, subsequent adjustments, if any, will be retrospectively recorded in future filings.
