Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
In aggregate, the PL Capital Group owns 221,802 shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired at an aggregate cost of $1,828,168.
The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Fund to acquire the 113,965 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $942,742. Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (“BNP Paribas”) on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.
The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Strategic to acquire the 43,060 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $360,797. Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Strategic’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.
The amount of funds expended by Focused Fund to acquire the 14,810 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $108,656. Such funds were provided from Focused Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.
The amount of funds expended by Goodbody/PL LP to acquire the 47,740 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $396,644. Such funds were provided from Goodbody/PL LP’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.
The amount of funds expended by the Doris Lashley Testamentary Trust to acquire the 2,227 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $19,328. Such funds were provided from the Trust’s available capital.
Any purchases of Common Stock made by members of the PL Capital Group using funds borrowed from BNP Paribas, if any, were made in margin transactions on that firm’s usual terms and conditions. All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group. Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin. Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers. As of the date of this filing, no member of the PL Capital Group has margin or other loans outstanding secured by Common Stock.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
This is the fifth amendment to the Initial Schedule 13D. The PL Capital Group collectively owns 6.5% of the Company, based upon the Company’s aggregate outstanding shares as of August 12, 2014.
CUSIP No. 73158Q109 | Page 15 of 21 Pages |
The PL Capital Group originally acquired the Common Stock because it believed the Common Stock was undervalued. The PL Capital Group believes the Company has the opportunity to increase long term shareholder value through stock repurchases, dividend payments, prudent growth of the balance sheet, and increased earnings. In addition, the Company should evaluate maximizing shareholder value through a sale of the Company after it passes its third year anniversary of its second step conversion in November 2015. The PL Capital Group will continue to monitor the performance of the Company and the decisions made by the Company’s management and board, and will, as it deems necessary, assert its stockholder rights.
Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases or sales of shares of Common Stock, although the PL Capital Group has no present intention of increasing PL Capital Group’s aggregate holdings above 9.999% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.
To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the PL Capital Group has such a purpose. Except as noted in this amended Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D. Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Company |
The percentages used in this amended Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the 3,395,776 common shares of Common Stock that the Company reported as outstanding as of August 12, 2014, in its Form 10-Q, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2014.
