Warrant Exercise

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, a warrant for 240,000 shares of non-voting common stock that was originally issued to TCW Shared Opportunity Fund V, L.P. (Shop V Fund) was exercised in full. The original exercise price of the warrant was $11.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. At the time of exercise, the warrant was held in separate portions by Crescent Special Situations Fund Legacy V, L.P. (CSSF Legacy V) and Crescent Special Situations Fund Investor Group, L.P. (CSSF Investor Group), two affiliated entities of Shop V Fund, and each portion was exercised in full using a cashless (net) exercise, resulting in a net number of shares of non-voting common stock issued in the aggregate of 70,690, which were immediately thereafter exchanged for an aggregate of 70,690 shares of voting common stock. Based on automatic adjustments to the original $11.00 exercise price, the exercise price at the time of exercise was $9.13 per share.

BOLI Investment

On July 14, 2015, the Bank made a $50.0 million investment in a Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policy issued by Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (Northwestern), which is rated AAA by Fitch Ratings, Aaa by Moody's and AA+ by Standard and Poor’s. BOLI is a single premium purchase life insurance policy on the lives of a group of designated employees. The Bank is the owner of the policy and beneficiary of the policy. At June 30, 2015, the Bank owned $19.2 million in BOLI. The addition of $50.0 million will bring the Bank’s BOLI holdings to $69.2 million, which would be approximately 11 percent of Tier 1 Capital at June 30, 2015. Pursuant to guidelines of the OCC, BOLI holdings by a financial institution must not exceed 25 percent of Tier 1 capital.

With respect to the BOLI investment, the Bank’s BOLI vendor and a provider to the Bank of certain compliance, accounting and management services related to the BOLI is BFS Financial Services Group (BFS Group), which was referred to the Bank by Kirk Wycoff, a principal of Patriot Financial Group, et. al., which holds 3,100,564 shares of the Company’s outstanding voting stock as reported in an Amended Schedule 13-D filed with the SEC on November 10, 2014. Mr. Wycoff’s son, Jordan Wycoff, is employed as a regional director of BFS Group. As long as BFS Group is the broker of record for the BOLI purchased from Northwestern, then the services BFS Group provides to the Bank are given free of charge, although BFS Group receives remuneration from Northwestern for the BOLI policies the Bank purchases that are issued by Northwestern.
