INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by SouthEast Bancshares, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company” or “SouthEast”), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13E-3 thereunder. We are proposing that our shareholders approve a reclassification of the Company’s stock by approving an amendment to the Company’s charter. The proposed charter amendment, if approved, will authorize the issuance of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
If the reclassification is approved, this is how the reclassification will affect our shareholders generally:
| • | | Shareholders who currently own 1,200 or more shares of common stock will continue to own the same number of shares of common stock. |
|
| • | | Shareholders who own 301 to 1,199 shares of common stock will have their shares reclassified as the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock. |
|
| • | | Shareholders who own 300 shares or less will have their shares reclassified as the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock. |
A principal effect and objective of the transaction will be to reduce the number of shareholders of record of common stock to less than 300 and to have less than 500 shareholders holding shares of each class of common stock, which will allow us to terminate our reporting obligations to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Incorporated by reference to this Schedule 13E is a proxy statement in connection with the special meeting of Company shareholders at which such shareholders will consider the proposed reclassification. The information contained in the proxy statement is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference and the responses to each item are qualified in their entirety by reference to the information contained in the proxy statement. As of the date hereof, the proxy statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment. This Schedule 13E-3 will be amended to reflect such completion or amendment of the proxy statement.
All parenthetical references under the various Items contained in this Schedule 13E-3 are references to the corresponding Items contained in Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act.
