Exhibit 99.1
BankAtlantic Bancorp Announces Completion of its Rights Offering; Expects
BankAtlantic Will Meet Tier 1/Core Capital Ratio of 8% and Total Capital Ratio of 14%
at June 30, 2011
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL June 20, 2011 BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BBX) today announced that it has completed its previously announced rights offering for its Class A Common Stock and received approximately $11.3 million of proceeds in connection with the exercise of rights by its shareholders. As a result, BankAtlantic Bancorp will issue an aggregate of approximately 15.1 million shares of its Class A Common Stock to participating shareholders.
As previously disclosed, BankAtlantic Bancorp intends to use the proceeds of the rights offering, together with cash currently held by BankAtlantic Bancorp, to contribute capital to BankAtlantic, its primary operating subsidiary, commented Alan B. Levan, BankAtlantic Bancorps Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. While BankAtlantics capital levels at March 31, 2011 exceeded the traditional definitions of well capitalized regulatory capital thresholds, BankAtlantic is required to achieve by June 30, 2011 and maintain a Tier 1/Core capital ratio of 8% and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 14%. We are pleased that as a result of efforts throughout this quarter, which include the sale of the Tampa branches, balance sheet restructuring and focused management of problem assets, together with the anticipated contribution of capital, we believe that BankAtlantic will meet the higher requirements of Tier 1/Core capital ratio of 8% and Total Risk-Based capital ratio of 14% at June 30, 2011.
BankAtlantics and BankAtlantic Bancorps second quarter 2011 financial results, including BankAtlantics actual June 30, 2011 capital ratios, will be released in the normal course subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2011.
