On August 4, 2015, Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (OTCQX: FOFN) (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”) announced the termination of the written agreement (the “2011 Written Agreement”) dated May 24, 2011 by and among the Company, the Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “FRB”) and the State of North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks.

In connection with the termination of the 2011 Written Agreement, the Bank entered into a new, more narrow written agreement on July 30, 2015 (the “2015 Written Agreement”) with the FRB, which is unrelated to the Bank’s financial condition. Under the terms of the 2015 Written Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit for approval within the time periods specified therein:
● | a written plan to assure ongoing board oversight of the Bank’s management and operations; |
● | a written program for the review of new products, services, or business lines acceptable to the FRB; and |
● | an enhanced written program for conducting appropriate levels of customer due diligence by the Bank acceptable to the FRB. |
In addition, the Bank has agreed that it will:
● | within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the 2015 Written Agreement, submit to FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the 2015 Written Agreement and the results thereof; and |
● | within 10 days of approval by FRB, adopt the approved programs specified in the second and third bullets, above. |
A summary of the material terms of the 2011 Written Agreement was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on May 26, 2011, which summary is incorporated by reference herein.
