Southern Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: SCMF) (NASDAQ:
SCMFO) announced today that it has raised approximately $42.8
million in capital as a participant in the Treasury's Capital
Purchase Program. The Company issued 42,750 shares of the Company's
Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, with a
related Warrant to purchase 1,623,418 shares of the Company's
common stock to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a voluntary
participant in the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer F. Scott Bauer said, "We
are pleased to have been selected as one of the first North
Carolina regional banks to participate in the Treasury's program,
which further affirms our financial strength. Our primary reasons
for participating in this Treasury program are to:
-- Increase our lending capabilities and deposit acquisition activities
across our markets;
-- Enhance our ability to support economic activity in the local
communities we serve;
-- Improve our ability to proactively work with our borrowers in
difficult times;
-- Explore acquisitions that are aligned with our long-term strategic
goals; and
-- Provide capital to support the continued growth of our franchise."
Mr. Bauer added, "We believe that our participation in the
Treasury's Capital Purchase Program is a prudent step during these
uncertain times, and we view this event as a positive for our
customers and shareholders. Even in this difficult economic
environment there are significant opportunities for Southern
Community to continue to grow its already solid franchise due to
the market disruption that continues to unfold across our
footprint. Because of our current financial strength, combined with
this additional low-cost capital, we believe that we will be well
positioned as the economy rebounds."
The preferred stock is non-voting and will pay a cumulative
dividend of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum
thereafter if the shares are not redeemed by the Company. The
warrant has a ten-year term with an exercise price of $3.95 per
share. The Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with
respect to any shares of common stock that may be issued upon
exercise of the warrant.
Southern Community Financial Corporation's total risk-based
capital ratio of 10.67% at September 30, 2008 will increase to
approximately 13.61% which is well above regulatory requirements
for a well capitalized financial institution. Both the preferred
stock and any common stock issued upon exercise of the warrant will
be accounted for as Tier 1 capital.
