Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Benefit Plans.
On January 23, 2008, Guaranty Financial Group Inc. (the “Company”) received notice of a blackout period (the “Notice”) pursuant to Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, with respect to the Guaranty Financial Group Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Plan”). The blackout period relates to the transfer of certain participant accounts from the Temple-Inland Savings Plan to the Plan. Approximately 2.4 percent of Plan participants will be affected by the blackout.
The blackout period is expected to begin February 26, 2008, and expected to end during the week of March 9, 2008. Affected participants under the Plan will not be able to make exchanges or asset allocation changes (including such changes to funds under the Plan that invest in the Company’s common stock), or request a loan, withdrawal, or final distribution of Plan accounts, for the duration of the blackout period described in the Notice.
The blackout period described in the Notice will not prohibit the Company’s directors and executive officers from engaging in transactions regarding shares of the Company’s common stock outside of the Plan.
Inquiries regarding the blackout period should be directed to Vanguard using the contact information stated in the Notice.
The Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
