CUSIP No. 86663B102 | Schedule 13D | |

Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 4, 2010 (the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Sun Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 226 Landis Avenue, Vineland, New Jersey 08360. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:
On November 4, 2010, all 88,009 shares of Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), converted into a total of 22,002,250 shares of voting Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Amendment with respect to the Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Certificate of Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Certificate of Amendment, the Series B Preferred Shares were mandatorily convertible into shares of Common Stock following shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number o f authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the issuance of all of the Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Shares were convertible as well as approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares as required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq stock market. Such shareholder approvals were obtained on November 1, 2010.
Effective November 4, 2010, each of the 42,626 Series B Preferred Shares held by WLR converted into 250 shares of Common Stock for a total of 10,656,500 shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Series B Preferred Share was determined by dividing: (i) the $1,000 liquidation preference of a Series B Preferred Share by (ii) $4.00. No additional consideration was payable by the Reporting Persons upon the conversion. WLR now beneficially owns 24.8 percent of the outstanding voting Common Stock.
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is not amended or supplemented except as set forth above.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement with WLR, as long as WLR owns not less than 7.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, WLR has the right to nominate one individual to each of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. is the WLR nominee. Mr. Ross has been appointed to the Executive Committees and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank, and as a non-voting observer to the Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank.
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is not amended or supplemented except as set forth above.
CUSIP No. 86663B102 | Schedule 13D | |
| | |
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Following the conversion described in Item 3 of this Amendment, and effective November 4, 2010, WLR beneficially owns a total of 12,469,000 shares of Common Stock, which in the aggregate represents approximately 24.8 percent beneficial ownership of the outstanding Common Stock as of November 4, 2010.
Item 5 of Schedule 13D is not amended or supplemented except as set forth above.
