Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.
On July 15, 2011, First Peoples Bank (the “Bank”), the principal operating subsidiary of FPB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) as receiver of the Bank.
As indicated in the FDIC press release dated July 15, 2011, subsequent to the closure, Premier American Bank, National Association, Miami, Florida, assumed the operations and all of the deposits of the Bank, and purchased essentially all of the Bank’s assets in a no loss-share transaction facilitated by the FDIC. All depositors of the Bank will automatically become depositors of Premier American Bank for the full amount of their deposits, and they will continue to have uninterrupted access to their deposits. Depositors will continue to be insured with the FDIC. Beginning on July 16, 2011, the six offices of the Bank reopened as branches of Premier American Bank.
The Company’s principal assets were the capital stock that it owns in the Bank. As the owner of all of the capital stock of the Bank, the Company would be entitled to the net recoveries, if any, following the liquidation or sale of the Bank or their assets by the FDIC. However, the Company does not believe that any recovery will be realized. Any ultimate distribution of recovered assets will occur in accordance with Florida law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. It is not expected that any distribution will be made to common stockholders.
On July 18, 2011, the Company distributed a letter to its shareholders describing the events of July 15, 2011.
