Preferred Stock and Warrants [Abstract] |
Preferred Stock and Warrants | (9) Preferred Stock and Warrants On January 9, 2009, the Company issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury), in exchange for aggregate consideration of $28.0 million, (i) 28,000 shares of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, (the Preferred Stock), and (ii) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase up to 500,000 shares (the Warrant Common Stock) of the Company's common stock. The Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative cash dividends quarterly at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years, and 9 percent per annum thereafter. The Preferred Stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could adversely affect the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company on or after February 15, 2012 at the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock must be declared and set aside for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock before any dividend may be declared on our common stock. On February 13, 2012, the Company announced the suspension of dividends on the Preferred Stock. At September 30, 2012, there were accumulated dividends in arrears of $1.25 million, including related accrued interest. The Company may defer dividend payments for up to an aggregate of six dividend periods, whether consecutive or not, without default or penalty under the terms of the agreement. Failure to pay dividends for six periods would trigger board appointment rights for the holder of the Preferred Stock. The Warrant may be exercised on or before January 9, 2019 at an exercise price of $8.40 per share. The Treasury may not exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Warrant Common Stock until the Warrant has been exercised. Upon receipt of the aggregate consideration from the Treasury on January 9, 2009, the Company allocated the $28,000 proceeds on a pro rata basis to the Preferred Stock and the Warrant based on relative fair values. As a result, the Company allocated $27,220 of the aggregate proceeds to the Preferred Stock, and $780 thousand was allocated to the Warrant. The discount recorded on the Preferred Stock that resulted from allocating a portion of the proceeds to the Warrant is being accreted directly to retained earnings over a 5-year period applying a level yield. On June 19, 2012, the Treasury notified the Company via a letter that it is considering inclusion of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program as part of a series of pooled auctions of CPP investments. According to the letter, the Treasury will also offer the Company the opportunity to opt-out of the pooled auction if they decide, with regulatory approval, to make a bid to repurchase all of the remaining outstanding CPP securities or designate a single investor (or single group of investors) to make a bid to purchase these securities. Subsequently, as permitted, the Company was successful in opting out of the pooled auctions of CPP investments via a designated bidder submitting an acceptable bid. Subsequently, Treasury notified the Company that for transparency purposes it will conduct an individual auction of the Company's outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock with the auction date yet to be determined. Should the Treasury not receive an acceptable bid in the individual auction, then the securities could be placed into a pooled sale process, for disposing of such securities.
