Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously reported, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (the "Company") entered into an Investment Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2010 (the "Investment Agreement"), with the investors named on the signature pages thereto providing for, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, including, if applicable, approval of the applicable regulatory authorities, the purchase from the Company of $50 million of Series B Mandatorily Convertible Noncumulative Nonvoting Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") in connection with a private placement (the "Private Placement"). On June 17, 2010, following the receipt of approval of the applicable regulatory authorities, the Company issued the final 15,611 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued under the Investment Agreement.

The Series B Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), immediately following receipt of the shareholder appro vals at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled for June 22, 2010, to:

• amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion in full of the Preferred Stock and provide available authorized but unissued shares for general corporate purposes; and

• approve the issuance of the Company’s Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock for purposes of Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Private Placement was made pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D thereunder.
