Treasury Announces Intent to Sell Preferred Stock and Subordinated Debt Positions
7/3/2013
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 and subordinated debt CPP investments. Treasury intends to conduct auctions for all
of its preferred stock and subordinated debt positions (the CPP Securities) in the following eight institutions:
·
·
·
·
·

Alarion Financial Services, Inc. (Ocala, Florida);
ColoEast Bankshares, Inc. (Lamar, Colorado);
Commonwealth Business Bank (Los Angeles, California);
Crosstown Holding Company (Blaine, Minnesota);
Fidelity Federal Bancorp (Evansville, Indiana);

·

Mountain Valley Bancshares, Inc. (Cleveland, Georgia);

·
·

Omega Capital Corp. (Lakewood, Colorado); and
Premier Financial Corp. (Dubuque, Iowa).

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 $271 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 142 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
July 8, 2013. The auctions are expected to close at 6:00 pm, New York City time, on July 11, 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.
