Item 7.01 Regulation FD
The Company has determined to defer the payment of the regular quarterly cash dividend on its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “TARP Preferred Stock”) issued to the Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program due May 15, 2011 in the amount of $325,000. Under the Company’s previously disclosed supervisory agreement with the OTS, the Company may not declare or pay any cash dividends without the consent of the OTS, which includes the quarterly dividend payments on the TARP Preferred Stock. It is the current expectation of the Company that it will defer the remaining quarterly dividend payments due in 2011. The Company intends to re-evaluate the deferral of these dividend payments periodically in consultation with the OTS taking into account the Company’s financial condition, applicable legal restrictions and other relevant factors.
Under the terms of the TARP Preferred Stock, the Company is required to pay dividends on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% for the first five years, after which the dividend rate automatically increases to 9%. Dividend payments on the TARP Preferred Stock may be deferred without default, but the dividend is cumulative and, if the Company fails to pay dividends for six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury will have the right to appoint two representatives to the Company’s board of directors. This is the second quarter in which the Company has deferred the payment of dividends on the TARP Preferred Stock. As of the date of this report and giving effect to the planned deferral of the May 15, 2011 dividend, the aggregate arrearage in the payment of dividends on the TARP Preferred Stock was $650,000.
