ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On January 21, 2011, the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank of Asheville, Asheville, North Carolina (the “Bank”), was closed by the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) was named receiver. No advance notice is given to the public when a financial institution is closed.
As a result of the closure and pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Registrant has lost all rights with respect to the issued and outstanding shares of the Bank’s common stock and such shares now have no value. The Registrant is no longer a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.
The FDIC, acting in its capactiy as receiver, entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with First Bank, Troy, North Carolina, whereby First Bank assumed all deposit liabilities and substantially all of the assets of the Bank. Each of the Bank’s five offices re-opened as offices of First Bank on January 24, 2011.
