Item 1.03 | Bankruptcy or Receivership. |
On May 20, 2011, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (the Georgia Department)
closed First Georgia Banking Company, the wholly owned commercial banking subsidiary of FGBC
Bancshares, Inc. (the Company), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named
as the receiver of First Georgia Banking Company. The Companys principal asset is the common
stock that it owns in First Georgia Banking Company, and, as a result of the closure of First
Georgia Banking Company, the Company has very limited remaining tangible assets. As the owner of
all of the capital stock of First Georgia Banking Company, the Company would be entitled to the net
recoveries, if any, following the liquidation or sale of First Georgia Banking Company or its
assets by the FDIC. However, the Company does not anticipate that any recovery will be realized by
the Company.
The FDIC issued a press release, dated May 20, 2011, announcing the following information
relating to the closure of First Georgia Banking Company:
| CertusBank, National Association, Easley, South Carolina, acquired the banking operations, including all the deposits, of First Georgia Banking Company. Accordingly, all depositors of First Georgia Banking Company will automatically become depositors of CertusBank. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to the applicable limits. |
| The 10 offices of First Georgia Banking Company will reopen for normal business hours, beginning May 21, 2011, as branches of CertusBank. However, for a period of time, customers of First Georgia Banking Company should continue to use First Georgia Banking Companys office locations until they receive notice from CertusBank that it has completed systems changes to allow other branches of CertusBank to process their accounts as well. |
| Customers who have questions about the foregoing matters, or who would like more information about the closure of First Georgia Banking Company, can visit the FDICs Internet website located at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/fgbc.html or call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-823-5017. |
A complete copy of the FDICs press release can be found on the Internet at
http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2011/pr11089.html. To date, except as described above, no
other entity or newly chartered bank has been involved in the process of closing and unwinding
First Georgia Banking Company. The management teams of the Company and First Georgia Banking
Company have been working closely with the Georgia Department, the FDIC and CertusBank to make the
transition as smooth as possible for First Georgia Banking Companys customers.
On May 24, 2011 the Company sent a letter to its shareholders informing them of the
receivership. A copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
