Item 1.03 – Bankruptcy or Receivership.
On August 20, 2010, Butte Community Bank (the “Bank”), the principal operating subsidiary of Community Valley Bancorp (the “Company”), was closed by the California Department of Financial Institutions, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed as receiver of the Bank.
As indicated in the FDIC press release dated August 20, 2010, subsequent to the closure, Rabobank, N.A., CA assumed all of the deposits of the Bank, and purchased essentially all of the Bank’s assets in a transaction facilitated by the FDIC.
On August 23, 2010, the 14 branch offices of the Bank reopened as branches of Rabobank, N.A.. Customers who have questions about the foregoing matters, or who would like more information about the closure of the Bank, can visit the FDIC’s Internet website located at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/1stpacific.html or call the FDIC toll-free at 1-866-674-8944.
As a result of the FDIC being appointed receiver of the Bank, the Company has ceased virtually all business activity and operations (since the Bank was the Company’s only source of revenue) and the Company will be considering whether to file a petition in Bankruptcy Court.
Item 2.04 - Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
In March 2010, the Company exercised its right to defer interest payments under certain junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) with a total principal balance of $8.0 million, which it may do for up to 20 consecutive quarters. However, as a result of the appointment of the FDIC as receiver for the Bank, an event of default has occurred under the Debentures, and the entire outstanding balance plus accrued interest has become ipso facto immediately due and payable.
Item 8.01 – Other Events.
As of August 20, 2010: (i) the Company’s primary assets, excluding its investment in the Bank and its investment in Community Valley Bancorp Trust II, which investments are expected to be written off completely, consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $539,000 and an investment in Butte Community Insurance Agency, LLC and (ii) the Company’s principal liabilities are $8.0 million of principal and accrued interest on the Debentures issued to the Trust and $1.0 million for an ESOP loan obligation. As noted in Item 1.03 – Bankruptcy and Receivership, which is incorporated herein, the Company has ceased operations and will be considering whether to file a petition in Bankruptcy Court.
