Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

The information in this item is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“NAFH”), owner of approximately 94% of the Company’s common stock, has scheduled a conference call with NAFH's equity investors to discuss matters relevant to those investors.  On that call, NAFH intends to disclose that it is seeking regulatory approval to combine its three banks, Capital Bank, TIB Bank and NAFH National Bank  and that it may also seek to combine its holding companies (the Company, NAFH, and Capital Bank Corporation).  NAFH cautioned that no assurances can be given that applicable regulatory approvals will be obtained, that the transactions described above will be consummated, or if consummated, as to the timing, price, structure or other terms of the transactions.
