Avidbank Holdings, Inc. Completes Redemption of $6 Million in Preferred Stock Issued Under TARP CPP Program

Avidbank Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) (OTCBB: AVBH), sole owner of Avidbank (“the Bank”), an independent full-service commercial bank serving businesses and consumers in Northern California, today announced that it has completed the redemption of all outstanding shares of its non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock previously held by the U.S. Treasury under its Troubled Asset Relief Program - Capital Purchase Program (TARP CPP).

As announced June 26, 2013, the Company successfully completed a $16.0 million private offering of common shares to institutional investors. Of the funds raised in the private offering, $6,000,000 was scheduled to redeem the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the TARP CPP program and the balance was to fund future growth opportunities.

“Although the TARP funds have assisted us during the challenging economic times of 2008 and beyond, we are pleased to have the growth opportunities and the investor and market support to allow us to repay this obligation to the government,” stated Mark D. Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The growth we have experienced and our future prospects are due to the great work of our proven team as well as some key new executives who have chosen to join us.”

Mr. Mordell also commented, “After the repayment of TARP, the infusion of new equity at a time of growth in assets, loans and deposits enabled us to substantially strengthen the Bank’s key capital ratios. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had a Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 10.98%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio of 13.79%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of 15.04%. All ratios exceeded minimum regulatory standards to be deemed ‘well-capitalized’ under regulatory guidelines, giving us the necessary platform to further increase our franchise value.”
