Preferred Stock and Warrants
(8) Preferred Stock and Warrants

On January 9, 2009, the Company issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury), in exchange for aggregate consideration of $28.0 million, (i) 28,000 shares of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, (the Preferred Stock), and (ii) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase up to 500,000 shares (the Warrant Common Stock) of the Company's common stock.  Upon receipt of the aggregate consideration from the Treasury on January 9, 2009, the Company allocated the $28.0 million proceeds on a pro rata basis to the Preferred Stock and the Warrant based on relative fair values.  As a result, the Company allocated $27.22 million of the aggregate proceeds to the Preferred Stock, and $780 thousand was allocated to the Warrant.  The discount recorded on the Preferred Stock that resulted from allocating a portion of the proceeds to the Warrant is being accreted directly to retained earnings over a 5-year period applying a level yield.

The Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative cash dividends quarterly at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years, and 9 percent per annum thereafter.  The Preferred Stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could adversely affect the Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  Accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock must be declared and set aside for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock before any dividend may be declared on our common stock.

The Warrant may be exercised on or before January 9, 2019 at an exercise price of $8.40 per share.  The holder of the warrant may not exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Warrant Common Stock until the Warrant has been exercised.

On February 13, 2012, the Company announced the suspension of dividends on the Preferred Stock.  At June 30, 2013, there were accumulated dividends in arrears of $2.36 million, including related accrued interest.  Cumulative dividends on the Preferred Shares will continue to accrue at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years from initial issuance and at a rate of 9 percent per annum thereafter.  The Preferred Stock continues to have no maturity date and ranks senior to the Company's Common Stock.  The Preferred Stock continues to be redeemable at the option of the Company at 100 percent of their liquidation preference, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

On January 29, 2013, the Company's 28,000 shares of Preferred Stock was sold by the Treasury to the public through a modified dutch auction.  On June 5, 2013, the Company's Warrant for 500,000 shares of common stock was also sold by the Treasury to the public through an auction.  Neither the sale of the Preferred Stock nor the sale of the Warrant to new investors resulted in any accounting entries and neither transaction had an impact on the Company's capital position.
