Regulatory Enforcement Action
  2. REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT ACTION

United Community is a unitary thrift holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). The Holding Company MOU was terminated on January 8, 2014 and both United Community and Home Savings are free of all regulatory enforcement actions. On August 8, 2008, the board of directors of United Community approved a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the predecessor regulator of United Community (the Holding Company Order). The Holding Company Order required United Community to obtain FRB approval prior to: (i) incurring or increasing its debt position; (ii) repurchasing any United Community stock; or (iii) paying any dividends. The Holding Company Order also required United Community to develop a debt reduction plan and submit the plan to the OTS for approval. The Holding Company Order was amended November 5, 2010. The amendment removed the requirement in the original Holding Company Order to provide the OTS with a debt reduction plan and added a requirement to provide the OTS with a capital plan. The capital plan was submitted to the OTS in December 2010. The Holding Company Order was terminated on July 2, 2013. On July 9, 2013, United Community entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the Holding Company MOU) with the FRB, under which United Community agreed not to pay dividends, repurchase shares, or take on debt without the FRB’s prior approval.
