(the “Company”), a bank holding company, owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Century Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), which operates in the Gainesville, Georgia area. On August 18, 2004, the Bank entered into a formal written agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) which set forth a series of actions necessary to correct identified weaknesses. On February 5, 2008, the OCC issued a Termination of the Agreement by and between First Century Bank, National Association, Gainesville, Georgia and the Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to which the OCC determined that the protection of the depositors, other customers and shareholders of the Bank as well as the Bank’s safe and sound operation do not require the continued existence of the agreement. Accordingly, the OCC terminated the agreement on February 5, 2008.
