On August 6, 2010, Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation (the "Company") announced the appointment of G. Thomas Frankland to the Company's Board of Directors.

Formerly a partner with the international accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers, his diverse background includes experience in many key corporate areas, including financial services, venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic planning and execution. Since 2006, he has served on the executive committee of Springboard Capital LLC, a Jacksonville-based venture capital fund focused on early-stage financing opportunities for emerging companies. From 1998 to 2006, he was Chief Financial Officer and later Chief Operating Officer of CNB Florida Bancshares and subsequently Chief Operating Officer at Mercantile Bank, both in Jacksonville and the latter being a unit of The South Financial Group. The South Financial Group acquired CNB Florida Bancshares in 2004.
