Plan.
(f) If all or part of the increase in Tier 1 Capital required by this ORDER is to be
accomplished by the sale of new securities, the Banks Board shall adopt and implement a plan for
the sale of such additional securities, including soliciting proxies and the voting of any shares
or proxies owned or controlled by them in favor of the plan. Should the implementation of the plan
involve a public distribution of the Banks securities (including a distribution limited only to
the Banks existing shareholders), the Bank shall prepare offering materials fully describing the
securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank
and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and any other material disclosures necessary to
comply with Federal securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan, and in any event,
not less than 20 days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the plan and any materials used
in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC, Accounting and Securities Disclosure
Section, Washington, D.C. 20429, for review. Any changes requested to be made in the plan or the
materials by the FDIC shall be made prior to their dissemination. If the increase in Tier 1
Capital is to be provided by the sale of non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, then all terms
and conditions of the issue shall be presented to the Regional Director and the Commissioner for
prior approval.
7
(g) In complying with the provisions of this ORDER and until such time as any such public
offering is terminated, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of the Banks
securities written notice of any planned or existing development or other change which is
materially different from the information reflected in any offering materials used in connection
with the sale of the Bank securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be
furnished within 10 days after the date such material development or change was planned or
occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every purchaser and/or subscriber who
received or was tendered the information contained in the Banks original offering materials.
