(9) ISSUANCE AND REPURCHASE OF PREFERRED SHARES

On December 12, 2008, HopFed Bancorp issued and sold 18,400 shares of preferred stock to the United States Treasury (Treasury) for $18,400,000 pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. The Company also issued a common stock warrant to the Treasury as a condition to its participation in the Capital Purchase Program. The warrant was immediately exercisable and allowed the holder to purchase 253,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10.88 per share. The warrant would have expired on December 12, 2018. The preferred stock had no stated maturity and was non-voting, other than having class voting rights on certain matters, and paid cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% thereafter. The Company repurchased the preferred stock from the Treasury at par on December 19, 2012, and repurchased the warrant from the Treasury on January 16, 2013, for $256,257.
