NOTE 7 — CAPITAL
The Company gave notice on November 9, 2010 to the U.S. Treasury Department that the Company was suspending the payment of regular quarterly cash dividends on the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued to the U.S. Treasury Department. The dividends, which are cumulative, will continue to be accrued for payment in the future and will be reported for the duration of the deferral period as a preferred dividend requirement that is deducted from net income for financial statement purposes. Additionally the Company, following consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“FRB”) has exercised its rights beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on all of its issues of junior subordinated debentures having an outstanding principal amount of $88.7 million, relating to outstanding trust preferred securities (“TRUPs”). Under the terms of the trust documents associated with these debentures, the Company may defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. The regular scheduled interest payments will continue to be accrued for payment in the future and reported as an expense for financial statement purposes. Together, the deferral of interest payments on TRUPs and suspension of dividend payments to the U.S. Treasury Department will preserve approximately $5.1 million per year in Bank level capital; however, capital at the Company level is still reduced. The deferral also saves the same amount in liquidity at the Company level. The approximate amount of accrued but unpaid interest on subordinated debt and preferred stock dividend was $4,669 as of June 30, 2011.
On May 2, 2011, the Bank received notice from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (“TDFI”) that, as a result of those agencies’ findings in their most recently completed joint safety and soundness examination, the agencies would be seeking a formal enforcement action against the Bank aimed at strengthening the Bank’s operations and its financial condition, and that accordingly, the FDIC was pursuing the issuance of a consent order against the Bank and the TDFI was pursuing the issuance of a written agreement against the Bank. The Company believes that the final terms of the order and written agreement will contain requirements similar to those that the Bank has already informally committed to comply with, including requirements to maintain the Bank’s capital ratios above those levels required to be considered “well-capitalized” under federal banking regulations.
The Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2011, and the minimum ratios required to be met under the federal statutory and regulatory guidelines as well as the minimum ratios the Bank has informally ommitted to its regulators that it will maintain are set forth below:
