On November 25, 2009 State Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the investors named therein (“Investors”) to exchange the Company’s unsecured 8.25% Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2013 with an outstanding principal balance of $10 million (the “Notes”) plus accrued interest for an aggregate of 1,656,600 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).  For purposes of the exchange, each share of Common Stock was valued at $6.50 per share.  The transaction is scheduled to close on or about December 1, 2009.

ITEM 3.02                      UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As described above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,656,600 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Notes plus accrued interest.  The issuance of the Common Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) but will be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration available under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.  Section 3(a)(9) exempts any security exchanged by the issuer with its existing security holders from registration under the Securities Act, provided no commission or other remuneration has been paid or given for soliciting the exchange, which is the case in connection with the Exchange Agreement.

The information pertaining to the Exchange Agreement in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 8.01                      OTHER EVENTS
 
On November 19, 2009, State Bank of Long Island (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Purchase Agreement (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”) to sell certain under performing, non-performing, and in foreclosure loans in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of approximately $20 million.  The sale resulted in an aggregate pre-tax loss of $11 million which will be included in the Company’s fourth quarter results.  The transaction was completed on November 19, 2009.

The loans were sold “as is, where is” with all faults (but subject to certain representations and warranties specifically set forth in the Loan Purchase Agreement), on a servicing released basis.  Certain representations and warranties of the Bank with respect to the loans survive for 120 days following the closing and if any such representation or warranty is breached, the purchaser has the right to require the Bank, at the Bank’s option, to either cure the breach within 60 days after notice thereof or repurchase the loan.
