NEWS RELEASE
CENTRAL PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORP.’S PRIVATE PLACEMENT IS FULLY SUBSCRIBED
HONOLULU, HI December 22, 2010 – Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (CPB), today announced that it has completed another critical step in its recapitalization transaction as investors have agreed to purchase CPF common stock totaling approximately $127.8 million in its private placement through a combination of commitments and signed subscription agreements. This amount includes investments by certain directors and officers of the company and, together with the $98.6 million to be purchased by each of an affiliate of The Carlyle Group and an affiliate of Anchorage Capital Group, L.L.C., CPF’s two lead investors, will provide a total of $325.0 million that CPF is seeking as part of its capital raising plan. CPF announced previously that the U.S. Treasury has agreed to the terms of the exchange of the TARP preferred stock subject to certain terms and conditions and the execution of a definitive exchange agreement.
“We are very pleased that our private placement is fully subscribed,” said John C. Dean, Executive Chairman of CPF and CPB. “Upon receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, we believe we will be in a position to close on our recapitalization transaction.”
The closing of the company’s recapitalization transaction, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2011, is subject to the exchange of the TARP preferred stock, receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
The company plans to commence a rights offering promptly following the closing of the recapitalization whereby shareholders of record as of the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding the closing date will receive transferable rights to purchase newly issued shares of CPF common stock at a purchase price equal to $0.50 per share. The rights will provide for the purchase of up to $20 million of CPF common stock by holders of such rights.
