Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 13, 2013, Mr. Robert P. Keller resigned as Director for First Security Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, FSGBank, N.A. Mr. Keller's resignation letter does not indicate any disagreements with First Security's operations, policies or practices. A copy of Mr. Keller's resignation letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
In discussions with management, Mr. Keller indicated that he joined the Board to assist First Security in adding banking expertise and experience to its Board of Directors and to assist with the recapitalization. In light of the completion of the recapitalization (as previously announced on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 12, 2013), Mr. Keller determined that is was appropriate to resign, providing First Security with an additional board position that it could offer to a potential director from the local market area.
