During 2011, the Company issued to the Secretary of the Treasury 12,000 shares of preferred stock at $1,000 per share under the Small Business Lending Fund Program (the "SBLF Program"). Subject to regulatory approval, the Company may redeem the preferred stock for $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in whole or in part at any time. The SBLF Program is a voluntary program authorized under the Business Jobs Acts of 2010, whereby the United States Treasury can make capital investments in eligible institutions; the capital investments, in turn, are designed to increase the availability of credit for small businesses and promote economic growth by providing capital to qualified community banks at favorable rates. The Company paid cash dividends at a one percent rate or $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. On February 4, 2016 the dividend rate for the preferred shares increased to nine percent and as a result the company incurred preferred stock dividends of $1,022,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

On January 30, 2017, the Company completed a public offering of 2,010,084 million shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share, with the net proceeds to the Company of approximately $33.2 million. Subsequent to the public offering the Company used proceeds from the offering to redeem the $12 million of preferred stock and pay the $195 thousand accrued dividend on March 6, 2017.
