NOTE 7 – PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK


On March 31, 2014, the Company redeemed 15,000 shares of its Series F Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) from the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) for an aggregate redemption amount of $15,000,000 plus unpaid dividends to the date of redemption of $337,500.


Previously, on September 15, 2011, the Company issued 40,090 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $40,090,000. The sale of Series F Preferred Stock was the result of an investment by Treasury under the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”). 


On June 29, 2012, the Company redeemed 10,223 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. In total, the Company has redeemed 25,223 shares of the Series F Preferred Stock with 14,867 shares remaining at March 31, 2014. The Company’s dividend rate increased from 5% to 9% with the dividend for the first quarter of 2014, which was paid on April 1, 2014.


The Series F Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company, subject to the approval, if required, of the Company’s primary federal banking regulator. All redemptions must be in amounts equal to at least 25% of the number of originally issued shares, or 100% of the then-outstanding shares (if less than 25% of the originally issued shares). The Company intends to fully redeem the remaining 14,867 shares during 2014.
