Treasury Announces Intent to Sell Preferred Stock
10/31/2013

WASHINGTON – As part of its ongoing efforts to wind down and recover its remaining Capital Purchase Program (CPP) investments
under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its intention to sell several
preferred stock CPP investments. Treasury intends to conduct auctions for all of its preferred stock (the CPP Securities) in the following
seven institutions:

·

AB&T Financial Corporation (Gastonia, NC);

·

Bridgeview Bancorp, Inc. (Bridgeview, IL);

·

Madison Financial Corporation (Richmond, KY);

·

Midtown Bank & Trust Company (Atlanta, GA);

·

Pacific City Financial Corporation (Los Angeles, CA);

·

United American Bank (San Mateo, CA);

·

Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp. (Midlothian, VA).

These auctions are part of a series of auctions that will include the CPP Securities of the 53 financial institutions included in Treasury’s
December 18, 2012 announcement and are part of the overall strategy that Treasury outlined for winding down its remaining TARP bank
investments in a way that protects taxpayer interests, promotes financial stability, and preserves the strength of our nation’s community
banks. Treasury indicated that it intends to use a combination of repayments, restructurings, and sales to manage and recover those
remaining investments.
TARP’s bank programs have already earned a significant profit for taxpayers. To date, Treasury has recovered more than $273 billion from
TARP’s bank programs through repayments, dividends, interest, and other income – compared to the $245 billion initially invested.
Approximately $2 billion of the repayments were refinanced under the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF). Congress created the SBLF
outside of TARP and required Treasury to let CPP institutions repay TARP funds by borrowing under that program. Treasury has
remaining outstanding CPP investments in 97 institutions. For more details on Treasury’s lifetime cost estimates for TARP programs,
please visit Treasury’s Monthly 105(a) Report to Congress on TARP here.
Treasury expects to commence the auctions, which will be offered principally to domestic qualified institutional buyers and certain
domestic institutional accredited investors, on or about November 4, 2013. The auctions are expected to close at 6:00 pm, New York City
time, on November 7, 2013. These offerings will be executed using a modified Dutch auction methodology that establishes a market price
by allowing investors to submit bids at specified increments similar to the process Treasury used to auction other CPP investments. The
auction procedures will not include the submission of “all or none” bids.
The CPP Securities that will be sold in the auction have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Act), and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an
applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state securities law. The CPP Securities will be offered
only to (1) domestic “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Act, (2) certain domestic institutional “accredited
investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act that have total assets of not less than $25,000,000 and (3) in certain cases, certain
directors and executive officers of the respective issuers of the CPP Securities. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or
the solicitation of an offer to buy the CPP Securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to
any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
