INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 9, 2009, Sun Bancorp, Inc., (the “Registrant”) entered into a Letter Agreement – Standard Terms incorporating the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”), pursuant to which the Registrant issued and sold (i) 89,310 shares of the Registrant’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,543,376 shares (1,620,545 shares, as adjusted for the stock dividend paid on May 14, 2009) of the Registrant’s Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $89,310,000 in cash (the transaction being referred to as the “Investment”).
On April 8, 2009, the Registrant returned to the Treasury its original Investment amount, plus accrued but unpaid dividends by redeeming in full all issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Following the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Registrant had fifteen calendar days to notify Treasury whether it would repurchase the Warrant for fair market value from Treasury or deliver a substitute warrant. The Board of Directors of the Registrant has determined that it would be in the best interest of the Registrant and its stockholders if it repurchased the Warrant. Accordingly, on May 27, 2009, the Registrant entered into a Letter Agreement with the Treasury (“Warrant Repurchase Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which it repurchased the Warrant for $2,100,000, in cash. A copy of the Warrant Repurchase Letter Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10 and is incorporated herein by reference. As a result, the Registrant currently has no securities issued or outstanding to the Treasury and is no longer participating to any extent in the TARP CPP.
Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Information
On May 27, 2009, the Registrant issued a press release announcing the consummation of the transaction described above under “Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.” A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.
