ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On April 24, 2009, Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale of $1.635 million of Series A Preferred Shares (as defined below) and a warrant to purchase Series B Preferred Shares (also defined below) to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) under U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).
The Company issued and sold (1) 1,635 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock Series A, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and (2) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 82 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock Series B, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Warrant was immediately exercised by the U.S. Treasury. Cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter. Cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 9% per annum. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Warrant, and the Series B Preferred Shares issued upon immediate exercise of the Warrant was exempt from registration as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The securities purchase agreement, dated April 24, 2009 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Shares, the Warrant and the Series B Preferred Shares were sold, limits the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock to the current quarterly cash dividend of $0.00 per share, limits the Company’s ability to repurchase its common stock, and subjects the Company to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the EESA. Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which amended EESA, the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Preferred Shares at any time for its aggregate liquidation amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends without first raising additional capital in an equity offering, subject to the U.S. Treasury’s consultation with the Company’s federal regulator. The Series B Preferred Shares may not be redeemed until all the Series A Preferred Shares have been redeemed. You should refer to the documents incorporated herein by reference for a complete description of these limitations.
The Purchase Agreement and the Warrant are exhibits to this Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary of certain provisions of these documents is qualified in its entirety by reference to them.

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
As a condition to the closing of the transaction, each of the Company’s Senior Executive Officers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) executed a waiver voluntarily waiving any claim against the U.S. Treasury or the Company for any changes to their compensation or benefits, as required to comply with the regulation issued by the U.S. Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The Senior Executive Officers also acknowledged that the regulation may require modification of the compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and policies and agreements (including so-called “golden parachute” agreements) as they relate to the period the U.S. Treasury holds any securities of the Company acquired through the Capital Purchase Program. The form of waiver is an exhibit to this Report on
