24.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company, through the Bank, makes loans and has transactions with certain of its directors and executive officers. All of these loans and transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, for comparable transactions with other unrelated persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. The Securities and Exchange Commission determined that disclosure of borrowings by directors and executive officers and certain of their related interests should be made if the loans are greater than 5% of stockholders’ equity in the aggregate. Loans to directors and executive officers totaled $10.2 million at December 31, 2012 and $4.0 at December 31, 2011 and were not greater than 5% of stockholders’ equity at either December 31, 2012 or 2011.
