ITEM 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

     The Company is pursuing a private offering of shares of its common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) to qualified institutional buyers and “accredited investors” (as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The net proceeds of the offering to the Company are expected to be up to approximately $23,450,000. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds for working capital purposes, including the possible redemption of preferred stock. The Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with potential investors with respect to its offering of Common Stock. There is no minimum number of shares which must be sold in order for the Company to accept subscriptions in the offering. No assurance can be given as to whether or on what terms the Company will be able to consummate the proposed offering.

     The Common Stock to be sold in the offering has not been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of Common Stock, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

     The information provided herein may contain comments or information that constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such material differences include completion of any proposed strategic transaction, integration of any operations, changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; changes in the national and local economy; and other factors, including risk factors, referred to from time to time in filings made by First Century Bancorp. with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
