(12) Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, the Company announced its participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP), a voluntary program that provides capital to financially healthy banks. This program was designed to attract broad participation by banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system by encouraging lending.

Participating in this program included the Company’s issuance of 30,255 shares of senior preferred stock (with a par value of $1,000 per share) and a ten year warrant to purchase approximately 287,133 shares of common stock (see below for additional information) to the U.S. Department of Treasury in exchange for $30,255,000. The proceeds received were allocated between the preferred stock and the common stock warrant based upon their relative fair values. This resulted in the recording of a discount on the preferred stock upon issuance that reflects the value allocated to the warrant. The discount on the preferred stock will be accreted over five years, consistent with managements’ estimate of the life of the preferred stock. Such accretion will be treated as additional dividends on the preferred stock. On May 9, 2012, the Company redeemed 12,000 shares of preferred stock from the U.S. Department of Treasury by repaying $12,000,000 of the $30,255,000 CPP funds along with $140,000 of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares redeemed. Related to these shares was an additional $300,000 of accretion that was recognized at the time of the redemption. The allocated carrying values of the senior preferred stock and common stock warrant at December 31, 2012 were $17,977,000 and $2,382,000, respectively.

The preferred shares remaining outstanding of 18,255 carry a 5% cumulative dividend through December 2013 and 9% thereafter if not redeemed. The Company intends to redeem the remaining shares by December 2013. The preferred stock generally does not have any voting rights, subject to an exception in the event the Company fails to pay dividends on the preferred stock for nine or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive. Under such circumstances, the Treasury will be entitled to vote to elect two directors to the board until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The Company is prohibited from paying any dividends with respect to shares of common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full on the senior preferred stock for all past dividend periods. The Treasury Department may also transfer the senior preferred stock to a third party at any time.

The common stock warrant is exercisable immediately with a ten year term, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $15.81 per share. The preferred stock and warrant are classified as stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and qualify, for regulatory capital purposes, as Tier I capital. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had declared and paid $1,203,000 of dividends and amortized $659,000 of accretion of the discount on preferred stock.
