As disclosed in the Corporation’s September 12, 2019 Form 8-K, the Bank owns a participating interest totaling $4.2 million in an approximately $36.0 million commercial credit facility on which the borrower defaulted due to fraudulent activity. The Bank’s complaint alleges that Pioneer Bank, as lead bank, breached the participation agreement and engaged in fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The Bank seeks to recover $4.2 million and additional damages as a result of purchasing the participation interest.
