U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program Participation [Abstract] |
U.S. TREASURY CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION | NOTE 19 – U.S. TREASURY CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION On May 15, 2009, we completed the sale of preferred stock and a warrant for common stock to the United States Treasury Department (“Treasury”) for $21.0 million under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The program was designed to attract broad participation by healthy banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system and increase lending for the benefit of the U.S. economy. Under the terms of the sale, the Treasury received 21,000 shares of fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and a warrant to purchase 616,438 shares of our common stock, no par value, in exchange for $21.0 million. The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5.00% for the first five years, and 9.00% thereafter. Subject to regulatory approval, we are generally permitted to redeem the preferred shares at par plus unpaid dividends. The common stock warrant has a 10-year term and was immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price equal to $5.11 per share. The Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the warrant, while it holds the shares. We allocated the $21.0 million in proceeds to the preferred stock and the common stock warrant based on their relative fair values. To determine the fair value of the preferred stock, we used a discounted cash flow model that assumed redemption of the preferred stock at the end of year 5. The discount rate utilized was 12.00% and the estimated fair value was determined to be $15.5 million. The fair value of the common stock warrant was estimated to be $0.9 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 1.00%; risk-free interest rate of 1.99%; expected life of five years; expected volatility of 53.00%; and a weighted average fair value of $3.92. The aggregate fair value for both the preferred stock and the common stock warrant was determined to be $16.4 million, with 94.6% of this aggregate attributable to the preferred stock and 5.4% attributable to the common stock warrants. Therefore, the $21.0 million issuance was allocated with $19.9 million being assigned to the preferred stock and $1.1 million being assigned to the common stock warrant. The sum of the $1.1 million difference between the $21.0 million face value of the preferred stock and the $19.9 million allocated to it upon issuance and $0.2 million of direct costs associated with the transaction, or $1.3 million, was recorded as a discount on the preferred stock. The $1.3 million discount is being accreted, using the effective interest method, as a reduction in net income available to common shareholders over the five-year period at approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million per year.
