Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 25, 2015, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida, a Florida corporation (“Seacoast” or the “Company”) and Seacoast’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Seacoast National Bank, a national banking association (“SNB”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Grand Bankshares, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Grand”), and Grand’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Grand Bank & Trust of Florida, a Florida bank (the “Bank”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Grand will merge with and into Seacoast, with Seacoast continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

Following the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into SNB, with SNB surviving the merger and continuing its corporate existence under the name “Seacoast National Bank.”

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Seacoast and Grand, upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of Grand common and preferred A stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.3114 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of Seacoast common stock (subject to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares) (the “Stock Consideration”). Additionally, Seacoast will pay approximately $1,481,000 in cash for all of Grand’s outstanding shares of preferred B stock, representing the par value of $1,000 per share for the preferred B stock (the “Preferred B Consideration,” and collectively with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Immediately prior to the Merger, outstanding Grand stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards will (1) vest in accordance with their terms, (2) exercise in accordance with its terms, or (3) terminate. The resulting Grand common stock, if any, will be converted as set forth in the prior sentence. Each outstanding share of Seacoast common stock will remain outstanding and be unaffected by the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from both Seacoast and Grand and each have agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of Seacoast’s and Grand’s businesses during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger, (2) Grand’s obligation to convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon the approval of the Merger Agreement, and (3) subject to certain exceptions, the recommendation by the Board of Directors of Grand in favor of the approval by its shareholders of the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Grand has also agreed not to (1) solicit proposals relating to any alternative acquisition proposals or (2) subject to certain exceptions, enter into any discussions, or enter into any agreement concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any alternative acquisition proposals.

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, (1) approval of the Merger Agreement by Grand’s shareholders, (2) receipt of required regulatory approvals without the imposition of conditions or consequences that would have a material adverse effect on Seacoast or its subsidiaries after the effective time of the Merger, (3) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the completion of the Merger, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement for the Seacoast common stock to be issued in the Merger, and (5) the quotation and listing of the Seacoast common stock to be issued in the Merger on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Each party’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (1) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (2) performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (3) receipt by such party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

- 2 -

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Seacoast and Grand, as the case may be, applicable upon: (1) mutual consent, (2) a breach by the other party that is not or cannot be cured within 30 days’ notice of such breach if such breach would result in a failure of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement, (3) final, non-appealable denial of required regulatory approvals, (4) Grand’s shareholders failure to approve the Merger Agreement by the required vote, (5) October 31, 2015 if the Merger has not been completed by that date, (6) Grand’s withdrawal, qualification or modification or its shareholder recommendation, (7) Grand’s failure to substantially comply with its “no-shop” obligations under the Merger Agreement or its obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold its shareholders meetings, (8) Grand has recommended, endorsed, accepted or agreed to a competing acquisition proposal, or (9) if holders of more than 5% in the aggregate of the outstanding Grand common stock vote shares against the Merger Agreement and have given notice of their intention to exercise their dissenters’ rights. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, Grand may be required to pay Seacoast a termination fee of $725,000.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated into this report by reference thereto. The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this report in order to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other financial information about Seacoast, Grand, or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Seacoast, Grand or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Seacoast.

No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a shareholder in respect of any fractional shares.

(e)          Each share of Holding Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries (in each case other than shares of Holding Stock held on behalf of third parties) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefore and shall cease to exist (together with the Dissenting Shares, the “Excluded Shares”).

1.9         Tax Consequences. It is the intention of the Parties to this Agreement that the Merger and the Bank Merger, for federal income Tax purposes, shall qualify as “reorganizations” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and that this Agreement shall constitute “plans of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Internal Revenue Code. SBC shall have the right to revise the structure of the Merger and/or the Bank Merger contemplated by this Agreement in order to assure that the Merger and the Bank Merger, for federal income Tax purposes shall qualify as “reorganizations” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or to substitute an interim corporation that is wholly owned by SBC (“Interim”), which interim corporation may merge with and into Holding, provided, that no such revision to the structure of the Merger or the Bank Merger shall result in any changes in the amount or type of the consideration that the holders of shares of Holding Stock are entitled to receive under this Agreement. SBC may exercise this right of revision by giving written notice to the Company in the manner provided in Section 7.9, which notice shall be in the form of an amendment to this Agreement or in the form of an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger.

ARTICLE 2

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1         Exchange Procedures.

(a)          Delivery of Transmittal Materials. Prior to the Effective Time, SBC shall appoint its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Exchange Agent”), pursuant to an agreement to act as exchange agent hereunder. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and within five Business Days), the Exchange Agent shall send to each former holder of record of shares of Holding Stock, excluding the holders, if any, of Dissenting Shares, immediately prior to the Effective Time transmittal materials for use in exchanging such holder’s Holding Certificates for the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Holding Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Holding Certificates (or effective affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.1(e)) to the Exchange Agent).

(b)          Delivery of Merger Consideration. After the Effective Time, following the surrender of a Holding Certificate to the Exchange Agent (or effective affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.1(e)) in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Holding Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Holding Stock represented by its Holding Certificate or Certificates. If any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name a Holding Certificate so surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that such Holding Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Holding Certificate, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. Payments to holders of Dissenting Shares shall be made as required by the FBCA.

(c)          Payment of Taxes. The Exchange Agent (or, after the agreement with the Exchange Agent is terminated, SBC) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares of SBC Common Stock) otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Holding Stock such amounts as the Exchange Agent or SBC, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Internal Revenue Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or SBC, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Holding Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or SBC, as the case may be.

- 4 -

(d)          Return of Aggregate Merger Consideration to SBC. At any time upon request by SBC following 90 days after the Closing Date, SBC shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any remaining portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration not distributed to holders of Holding Certificates that was deposited with the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Fund”) (including any interest received with respect thereto and other income resulting from investments by the Exchange Agent, as directed by SBC), and holders shall be entitled to look only to SBC (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to the Applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of SBC Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions with respect to SBC Common Stock payable upon due surrender of their Holding Certificates, without any interest thereon.

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Holding’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith (and based up the written advice of its outside counsel and after consultation with its financial advisor) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that failure to accept such Superior Proposal would result in a violation of its fiduciary obligations to shareholders of Holding under applicable Laws, the Holding Board of Directors may at any time prior to the Holding Shareholder Approval (i) withdraw or modify (a “Change in Recommendation”) the Holding Board of Directors’ recommendation that shareholders of Holding approve this Agreement or make or cause to be made any third party or public communication proposing or announcing an intention to withdraw or modify the Holding Board of Directors recommendation for Holding shareholder approval of this Agreement, and (ii) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of Holding may not make a Change in Recommendation, and terminate this Agreement, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal unless (i) Holding shall not have breached this Section 4.12 in any respect and (ii) (A) the Board of Directors of Holding determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel and its financial advisors) that such Superior Proposal has been made and has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal after taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by SBC under this Section 4.12(b); (B) Holding has given SBC at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such actions set forth above (which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal) and has contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the Person making such Superior Proposal; and (C) before effecting such Change in Recommendation, Holding has negotiated, and has caused its representatives to negotiate in good faith with SBC during such notice period to the extent SBC wishes to negotiate, to enable SBC to revise the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material change to the terms of the such Superior Proposal, Holding shall, in each case, be required to deliver to SBC a new written notice, the notice period shall have recommenced and Holding shall be required to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.12 with respect to such new written notice.

SEACOAST SIGNS DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT

TO ACQUIRE GRAND BANKSHARES

STUART, FL, March 25, 2015 – Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (NASDAQ: SBCF) (“Seacoast”), a bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is Seacoast National Bank (“Seacoast Bank”), and Grand Bankshares, Inc. (“Grand”) announced today the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Grand will merge with and into Seacoast. The acquisition will more than double Seacoast’s existing position in Palm Beach County to create one of the largest local community banks in the market.

Grand, headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida and which operates Grand Bank & Trust of Florida, will add approximately $208 million in assets, $184 million in deposits, and $127 million in gross loans to Seacoast’s operations, along with 3 branch locations positioned in Palm Beach County. Grand was founded in 1999 and has built a strong deposit franchise, with low cost core deposits representing 90% of total deposits and noninterest bearing demand deposits representing 26% of total deposits. Grand’s loan portfolio, which is comprised of approximately 63% commercial real estate loans, complements Seacoast’s existing loan portfolio.

“We are extremely excited to announce this agreement with Grand Bankshares, Inc. and look forward to welcoming its customers and associates into Seacoast Bank. Both banks have a proven track record of exceptional customer service and support for our communities,” said Dennis S. Hudson, Seacoast’s Chairman and CEO. “This acquisition will allow Seacoast to substantially grow our customer base in one of the most important markets in Florida. We are also pleased to announce that J. Russell Greene, Grand’s President and CEO, will join Seacoast as Executive Vice President and Palm Beach County market executive.”

“The transaction creates value for our shareholders and customers by uniting two strong community banks with a long history of delivering top-notch customer service,” said J. Russell Greene. “We are excited about the additional products and services that Seacoast will bring to our customer base and the long-term value this transaction creates for our shareholders.”

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Seacoast will issue 0.3114 Seacoast shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Grand common and preferred A stock, or a total of approximately 1.09 million shares of Seacoast common stock. Additionally, Seacoast will pay approximately $1,481,000 in cash for all of Grand’s outstanding shares of preferred B stock, representing the par value of $1,000 per share of preferred B stock. Based on Seacoast's 15 day volume weighted average price of $13.52 on March 24, 2015 and the cash consideration, the transaction will be valued at approximately $16.2 million. Seacoast expects the acquisition to be accretive to 2015 and 2016 earnings per share and slightly accretive to tangible book value per common share. Following the transaction, Seacoast will maintain its strong capital ratios.

- continued -

The boards of directors of both Seacoast and Grand have unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015, and is subject to approval by Grand’s shareholders, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. served as exclusive financial advisor and Alston & Bird LLP served as legal counsel to Seacoast.

Operator: Welcome to Seacoast’s special announcement conference call. My name is Eric, and I’ll be your operator for today’s call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question-and-answer session. Please note that this conference is being recorded.

I will now turn the call over to Dennis Hudson, CEO of Seacoast Banking Corporation. Mr. Hudson, you may begin.

Dennis Hudson: Thank you very much, and welcome to the Seacoast’s Grand Bankshares Acquisition conference call.

Before we begin, I’d like to direct your attention to the statement contained at the end of our press release regarding forward statements. During our call we may be discussing certain issues that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act, and accordingly our comments are intended to be covered within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act.

- 1 -

With me today is Chuck Cross, our Accelerate Commercial Banking Business Leader, as well as our Community Banking Business Leader Chuck Shaffer. Also joining us today is David Houdeshell, our Chief Credit Officer.

We have posted the slide deck on our website, seacoastbanking.com, under the section titled Presentations. The slides we will use for this call are titled “Acquisition of Grand Bankshares.” We’ll be referring to those slides during our presentation.

Yesterday after the market closed, we announced our acquisition of Grand Bankshares, a $208 million organization and a 16-year-old organization institution in Palm Beach County, Florida. This acquisition will more than double our size in the important and attractive Palm Beach County market and will add an additional two offices to our existing three traditional branch offices in the county. One additional office will be consolidated with one of our offices. These two offices are less than a mile apart from each other.

We are also pleased that Russell Greene, who leads Grand as CEO, will be joining Seacoast as our EVP and Palm Beach County Market Executive. Russell has operated in this market for many, many years, is one of the most respected and most well known and most knowledgeable bankers in the area, and we look forward to working with Russell to grow our combined franchise in the important Palm Beach County market.

We are now one of the largest local banks in Palm Beach County, a market that is experiencing tremendous rebound, aided by the tremendous growth coming out of South Florida.

As we described on page 3 of the deck, the transaction was structured with stock and a small amount of cash. The cash, which totals around $1.5 million, will redeem the Class B Preferred holders at par, and the stock, totaling around $14.7 million, will be exchanged for common shares and convertible Class A Preferred shares. The common consideration is based on a fixed exchange ratio. The transaction proceeds, both cash and stock, equate to pricing of around 108% of tangible book and a core deposit premium of around 1.2%.

We expect this transaction to be modestly accretive to our tangible book value at closing and around 5% accretive to our earnings per share in 2016. We also expect it to be accretive to our earnings per share and 2015, excluding any one time merger charges. Merger charges are estimated to be around $3.5 million before tax. Closing is expected to occur in the third quarter of this year.

As I said, Grand Bank and Trust has been around for over 16 years, is $208 million in size, with a strong deposit portfolio. Transaction accounts total around 29% of total deposit and their cost of deposits in the most recent quarter was around 37 basis points, so a very valuable deposit base and a nice complement to our overall funding base.

- 2 -

Their loan portfolio is around $127 million in size. We conducted thorough diligence on the portfolio and have estimated a pretax loan credit mark of around $4.5 million, offset against their current loan loss reserve, which totals $3.7 million. The loan portfolio yield was 3.64% over the past year, and their focus on commercial real estate and commercial lending continues to move our mix of loans in the right direction.

We have assumed reasonable and achievable cost savings given our existing presence in the market and a small overlap, allowing us to consolidate one office. We have also assumed no revenue synergies and we have assumed some fairly rapid decay rates for both loans and deposits, so we feel very confident that we’ll be able to produce the earnings accretion that we’ve advertised.

So, to sum it up, we’re thrilled with the opportunity to achieve meaningful progress in expanding our reach and our mass in one of the most important and valuable markets on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Pricing is reasonable, and provides both shareholder groups with very nice upside potential, and our estimates around earnings accretion are based on very conservative assumptions.

As you know, our focus over the past few quarters has been, and remains, to achieve marked improvement in earnings results. We believe this transaction is aligned with that goal, and will contribute to the bottom line starting in the second half of this year. Moreover, it expands our customer base in one of the most attractive market in the United States, contributing to real growth and value for our shareholders.

We’ll now pause and would be pleased to take a few questions, if there are any, so I’m going to turn the call back over to the operator. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. (Operator instructions.)

Our first question comes from Scott Valentin from FBR. Scott, please go ahead.

Scott Valentin: Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone.

Dennis Hudson: Good morning.

Scott Valentin: Just a couple quick questions. One, can you explain… on the credit quality, it shows a high level of NPLs, but very little in non-current loans. Just wondering if that’s a certain asset class that Grand Bank focused on, or what that is.

Dennis Hudson: I guess it would suffice to say that they have a number of loans that have been placed in the non-performing categories that are performing. I would say these represent older loans that were stressed during the downturn that fortunately continue to actually perform. It’s just an unusual circumstance. The numbers are quite small, as you can see. It doesn’t take much to add up to those numbers. So no real unusual color I would say around that. It’s something we dealt with in our portfolio over the last several years as well.

- 3 -

Scott Valentin: Okay. Thank you. Then just you mentioned closing one branch of the three; there’s some overlap there, so at least one branch closure of the pro-forma organization. And their efficiency ratio, like a lot of small banks, obviously, with the regulatory costs being what they are, tough to drive efficiency ratio down in a small bank. Can you talk about maybe, you mentioned cost savings, have you tried to size those yet, and maybe talk about where else, aside from branch closure, you see opportunities?

Dennis Hudson: Well, if you think about it from our perspective, the net pick up in overhead after all the smoke clears would be two branches. I think we have sufficient capacity to absorb a lot of the process work and so forth inside the existing franchise that exists in that community. We’ll also, obviously, be picking up some additional cost outs related to some of the key personnel in the organization, and so the cost outs are probably more significant than one might think in that sense.

Having said that, again the numbers are small, and we look forward to integrating, as we go through the integration between now and sometime in the third quarter of this year. We’re going to be very careful and try to onboard as many of their staff as we can in many of the open positions that exist within our franchise. So it’s a great opportunity for their staff to expand their opportunities and it’s also a cost savings opportunity when you put the two banks together. So, again, nothing terribly unusual or remarkable, but just think of it as a net addition of two offices.

Scott Valentin: Okay. One final question, I know Seacoast has been moving towards, or focused on commercial lending strategy, and obviously the portfolio at Grand Bank is mostly commercial real estate and multi-family and C&I. But just wondering, can you talk about maybe the infrastructure you’re getting with the lending teams that are focused and how does that add to Seacoast’s strategy?

Dennis Hudson: They have a small lending team. We have met some of those folks and we’re impressed, and we look forward to working with them as we go forward. But again, it’s a very small organization, a small number of folks focused in that area; I think two or three.

Charles Cross: Yes. This is Chuck Cross. Remember, we’re buying $127 million in loans and adding that to a commercial loan book of $1.1 billion, so it’s less than 10%, so it’s relatively small compared to the combined unit.

Scott Valentin: Okay. All right. Thanks very much.

Dennis Hudson: I think one of the important things, though, to remember is while the bank’s been around a number of years, many of the folks that are working there have been around the market for their entire career. So we’re really excited to work with some of the people in the organization, and in particular Russell Greene, who leads that company. Russell spent just about his entire career in the market, he’s been well known to us and our people and we look forward to working with him over the next few years.

Operator: And our next question comes from Taylor Brodarick from Guggenheim. Taylor, please go ahead.

- 4 -

Taylor Brodarick: Great. Thank you. A couple market questions, Denny. I saw a media report this week talking about the solid growth in high net worth people into Florida in the last year, and I would assume some of them would traffic, obviously, in this market. I was curious if Grand or you had any sense how many are potential banking customers or have relationships outside the state?

Dennis Hudson: Well, first of all, I would just say that the economy in Florida is back in a strong way, particularly in the metro areas, and we’re seeing incredible opportunity and growth in the metro areas that we have exposure to, including Palm Beach County. I would say the population transfer and movement into Florida is not back to the all-time high that we saw before the downturn, but it is approaching numbers that are darned respectable, and that’s been a very big turnaround in the last couple of years. This season, I’ve been saying for the last three or four years that things have gotten better every season, but I think it would be fair to say for those of us sitting around the table that this has been remarkably better.

Any comment on that?

Charles Shaffer: No. It was a significant season, and when you look at where the footprint of Grand is in Palm Beach County and think about the migration, particularly from the Northeast, there’s probably no better market than Palm Beach County in that regard, particularly from high net worth type individuals. So we are looking tremendously forward to the ability to compete and attract that type of customer base in what is probably one of the best markets in the entire state.

Taylor Brodarick: Great. So it sounds like I can say this market had been on your radar to get bigger and it was sort of a bonus that you’re able to execute an accretive deal. Is that probably why it may be moved to the top of the list, as opposed to maybe some other metro expansion in other markets?

Dennis Hudson: Yes, and also given that we already had some presence there. We’ve talked about the branches we have there, but we also have a good number of people there. Chuck, you may want to just comment on the commitment we’ve made to the Palm Beach County market over particularly the last year and a half or so.

Charles Cross: Yes, we have two commercial banking teams, one in Palm Beach Gardens and one in Boca Raton, that even with limited brick-and-mortar have been gaining new customers that are both loan and deposit customers, because not all businesses need to have brick-and-mortar to do their deposits. A lot of it is remote deposit capture.

Taylor Brodarick: Okay. Thank you both. Appreciate it.

Charles Shaffer: Yes. And I would encourage you, too, there’s a slide in the deck on Palm Beach County and some of the metrics there. If you take a moment to take a look at it, North Palm Beach is one of our fastest growing markets in the entire franchise, as well as it’s the second highest per capita income. It has a number of very recognizable employers and it’s one of the strongest housing markets. So if you take a moment to take a look through that you’ll see the way we’re thinking through this.

- 5 -

Dennis Hudson: Yes, we love the Palm Beach County market. We would like to get a lot larger in that market. It’s obviously very tight and connected to the largest part of our franchise in terms of branches and in terms of dollars. A great market. We also like, obviously, the Orlando/Space Coast market, where we last year dramatically improved our position. The exciting thing for me is all of this is occurring for us just as the economy underneath those markets is starting to really grow in a meaningful way. We’re looking forward to continued growth and business, particularly in those markets.

Operator: And we have no further questions at this time.

Dennis Hudson: Great. Well, thank you all for attending this morning, and we look forward to talking with you in April as we discuss our first quarter results. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This concludes today’s conference. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
