JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
MERGER PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Stockholders:
On May 9, 2016, Sunshine Bancorp, Inc., or “Sunshine,” Sunshine Bank, FBC Bancorp, Inc., or “FBC,” and Florida Bank of Commerce, or “FBC Bank,” entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which we refer to as the “merger agreement,” pursuant to which FBC will merge with and into Sunshine, with Sunshine surviving the merger, and FBC Bank will merge with and into Sunshine Bank, with Sunshine Bank surviving the merger, in an all-stock transaction, which we refer to collectively as the “merger.”
At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of FBC, par value $5.00 per share (which we refer to as “FBC common stock”), except for shares of FBC common stock owned by Sunshine or its subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares (the “exchange ratio”) of common stock of Sunshine, par value $0.01 per share (which we refer to as “Sunshine common stock”), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Although the number of shares of Sunshine common stock that holders of FBC common stock (which we refer to as the “FBC shareholders”) will be entitled to receive is fixed, the market value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Sunshine common stock and will not be known at the time FBC shareholders vote on the merger. However, as described in more detail elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, under the terms of the merger agreement, if the average price of Sunshine common stock over a specified period of time decreases below certain specified thresholds, FBC shall have a right to terminate the merger agreement, unless Sunshine elects to increase the exchange ratio, which would result in additional shares of Sunshine common stock being issued. Based on the $14.46 closing price of Sunshine common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (which we refer to as the “NASDAQ”) on May 9, 2016, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the merger, the per share value of the merger consideration was equal to approximately $12.72. Based on the $14.55 closing price of Sunshine common stock on the NASDAQ on August 26, 2016, the latest practicable trading day before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the per share value of the merger consideration was equal to approximately $12.80. Based on the 0.88 exchange ratio and the number of shares of FBC common stock outstanding as of August 26, 2016, the maximum number of shares of Sunshine common stock estimated to be issuable at the effective time of the merger is 2,725,205. We urge you to obtain a current market quotation for Sunshine (trading symbol “SBCP”).
Sunshine will hold a special meeting of its stockholders (which we refer to as the “Sunshine special meeting”) in connection with the merger. At the Sunshine special meeting, the holders of Sunshine common stock (which we refer to as the “Sunshine stockholders”) will be asked to vote to approve the merger agreement and related matters as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to be cast at the Sunshine special meeting.
FBC will hold a special meeting of its shareholders (which we refer to as the “FBC special meeting”) in connection with the merger. At the FBC special meeting, FBC shareholders will be asked to vote to approve the merger agreement and related matters as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of FBC common stock.
The merger consideration is subject to adjustment as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and depends upon the market price of Sunshine’s common stock prior to closing. Therefore, at the time of the FBC special meeting, FBC shareholders will not know the precise value of the merger consideration that they may receive on the date the merger is completed.
The Sunshine special meeting will be held on September 28, 2016 at Sunshine’s office located at 102 West Baker Street, Plant City, Florida 33563, at 9:00 a.m., local time. The FBC special meeting will be held on September 29, 2016 at FBC’s office located at 105 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida 32802, at 8:00 a.m., local time.
The Sunshine board of directors unanimously recommends that Sunshine stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Sunshine merger proposal and “FOR” the approval of any other matters to be considered at the Sunshine special meeting.
The FBC board of directors unanimously recommends that FBC shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the FBC merger proposal and “FOR” the approval of any other matters to be considered at the FBC special meeting.
This joint proxy statement/prospectus gives you detailed information about the Sunshine special meeting of stockholders to be held on September 28, 2016, the FBC special meeting of shareholders to be held on September 29, 2016, the merger, the merger agreement and other related matters. You should carefully read this entire document, including the appendices. Before making a decision on how to vote, you should carefully consider the discussion in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 26.
We look forward to a successful completion of the merger and thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETINGS
The following are answers to certain questions you may have regarding the merger and the special meetings. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the appendices, because the information in this section may not provide all the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote.
Q: What is the merger?
A: Sunshine and its wholly-owned Federal savings bank subsidiary, Sunshine Bank, have entered into a merger agreement with FBC and its wholly-owned Florida state bank subsidiary, Florida Bank of Commerce (“FBC Bank”), pursuant to which FBC will be merged with and into Sunshine, with Sunshine as the surviving entity, and FBC Bank will be merged with and into Sunshine Bank, with Sunshine Bank as the surviving entity, collectively referred to as the “merger.” A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In order for us to complete the merger we need not only the approval of the stockholders of Sunshine and the shareholders of FBC but the approval of the merger and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (the “OCC”).
Q: Why am I receiving this joint proxy statement/prospectus?
A: We are delivering this document to you because it is a joint proxy statement being used by Sunshine’s and FBC’s respective boards of directors to solicit proxies of their respective stockholders in connection with approval and adoption of the merger agreement and related matters.
In order to approve and adopt the merger agreement and related matters, Sunshine and FBC have each called a special meeting of their respective stockholders, which we refer to as the “Sunshine special meeting” and the “FBC special meeting,” respectively. This document serves as a proxy statement for both the Sunshine special meeting and the FBC special meeting and describes the proposals to be presented at the meetings.
This document is also a prospectus that is being delivered to Sunshine’s stockholders because Sunshine is offering shares of its common stock to FBC shareholders in connection with the merger.
This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the merger and the other proposals being voted on at the meetings. You should read it carefully and in its entirety. The enclosed materials allow you to have your shares voted by proxy without attending your meeting. Your vote is important. We encourage you to submit your proxy as soon as possible.
Q: What will FBC shareholders receive in the merger?
A: If the merger agreement is approved and the merger is subsequently completed, at the effective time of the merger, each share of common stock of FBC (“FBC common stock”), par value $5.00 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (excluding any FBC common stock owned by Sunshine or its subsidiaries, which will be cancelled for no additional consideration) will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.88 (the “exchange ratio”) shares of common stock of Sunshine, subject to adjustment as described below (the “merger consideration”). Each outstanding option to purchase FBC common stock will vest and be converted into the right to purchase a proportionate number of shares of Sunshine common stock, as adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio in the merger agreement. As a result of the merger (and assuming no adjustment to the exchange ratio and none of FBC’s shareholders exercise appraisal rights and receive cash for their shares in lieu of Sunshine common stock), FBC’s shareholders and option holders would own approximately 34.6% of the Sunshine common stock, on a fully diluted and as-converted basis.
1
In addition, if Sunshine’s weighted average stock price, as calculated during the ten trading days prior to the determination date (i.e., the fourth calendar day prior to the closing of the merger, or if such day is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately preceding such calendar day), is (i) more than 20% lower than $14.03, which was the weighted average stock price of Sunshine’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of the merger agreement, and (ii) such decrease in Sunshine’s stock price is more than 20% relative to the change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index on the corresponding dates, FBC shall have a right to terminate the merger agreement unless Sunshine agrees to increase the exchange ratio by a fixed percentage based on the relative price decrease of Sunshine’s common stock and the relative change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index.
The precise dollar value of the merger consideration depends upon the market price of Sunshine’s common stock prior to closing.
For additional information on the possibility of adjustments to the purchase price, see “The Merger Agreement – Merger Consideration” beginning on page 81.
Q: What happens to outstanding FBC equity awards in the merger?
A: As of the date of the merger agreement, there were 294,550 outstanding FBC stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.26 per share.
Each outstanding option to purchase FBC common stock will vest and be converted into the right to purchase a proportionate number of shares of Sunshine common stock, as adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio. Assuming there is no change in the exchange ratio as described above, following the merger, those 294,550 outstanding FBC stock options will be converted into an aggregate of 259,204 options to purchase shares of Sunshine common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.52 per share.
Q: Can FBC shareholders elect the type of consideration they will receive in the merger?
A:No. In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, the merger consideration will be paid entirely in shares of Sunshine’s common stock; provided, however, FBC shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Sunshine common stock. FBC shareholders have appraisal rights under Florida state law entitling them to obtain payment in cash for the fair value of their shares, provided they comply with each of the requirements under Florida law, including not voting in favor of the FBC merger proposal and providing notice to FBC. For more information regarding appraisal rights, please see “The Merger Agreement —FBC Shareholders Have Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 91 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: What will Sunshine’s stockholders receive in the merger?
A: If the merger is completed, Sunshine’s stockholders will not receive any merger consideration and will continue to hold the shares of Sunshine common stock that they currently hold. Following the merger, shares of Sunshine’s common stock will continue to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SBCP.”
Q: What are FBC’s shareholders being asked to vote on and why is this approval necessary?
A: FBC’s shareholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals:
| • | | to adopt the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this document, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which is referred to as the FBC merger proposal; and |
| • | | to authorize the FBC board of directors to adjourn or postpone the FBC special meeting to a later date, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the FBC merger proposal, which is referred to as the FBC adjournment proposal. |
2
Shareholder approval of the FBC merger proposal is required for completion of the merger. FBC will transact no other business at the FBC special meeting, except for business properly brought before the FBC special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Each FBC director and executive officer (who collectively own approximately 20% of the outstanding FBC shares) have entered into voting agreements, the form of which is attached as Appendix B to this document, with Sunshine agreeing to, among other things, vote their shares of FBC common stock in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (subject to certain exceptions) and restricting the transfer of the individual’s shares of FBC common stock during the period between signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger.
Q: What are Sunshine’s stockholders being asked to vote on and why is this approval necessary?
A: Sunshine’s stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals:
| • | | to adopt the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this document, which is referred to as Sunshine’s merger proposal, including but not limited to the approval for purposes of Section 3-105 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 of the issuance pursuant to the merger agreement of a number of shares of Sunshine’s common stock that exceeds 20% of the number of shares of Sunshine’s common stock that is currently outstanding; |
| • | | to approve the amendment to the Sunshine 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Equity Incentive Plan”), a copy of which is attached as Appendix G to this document, providing for (i) an increase in the total number of shares of Sunshine’s common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan from 592,480 shares to 742,480 shares; (ii) the removal of the cap on the aggregate number of options and restricted stock awards that can be made under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (subject to the cap on the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan); (iii) an increase to the annual award limitations for non-employee directors on an individual and aggregate basis; and (iv) the assumption of awards and subsequent issuance of replacement awards by Sunshine in connection with any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of property or stock; and |
| • | | to authorize the Sunshine board of directors to adjourn or postpone the Sunshine special meeting to a later date, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the Sunshine merger proposal, which is referred to as the Sunshine adjournment proposal. |
Stockholder approval of the Sunshine merger proposal is required for completion of the merger. Sunshine will transact no other business at the Sunshine special meeting, except for business properly brought before the Sunshine special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Each Sunshine director and executive officer (who collectively own approximately 7.9% of the outstanding Sunshine shares) have entered into voting agreements, the form of which is attached as Appendix C to this document, with FBC agreeing to, among other things, vote their shares of Sunshine common stock in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Q: Are participants in the Sunshine Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan and/or Sunshine Bank Employee Savings Plan able to vote?
A:Yes. Participants in the Sunshine Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) will each receive a Vote Instruction Form that reflects all of the shares that the participant may direct the trustees to vote on his or her behalf under the ESOP. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustee votes all shares held by the ESOP, but each ESOP participant may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of Sunshine common stock allocated to his or her account. The ESOP trustee will vote all unallocated shares of Sunshine common stock held by the ESOP and allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions. In addition, participants in the Sunshine Bank Employees
3
Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) with an interest in the Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund (“Stock Fund”) will receive a Vote Instruction Form that allows them to direct the 401(k) Plan trustee to vote their interest in the Stock Fund. If a participant does not direct the 401(k) Plan trustee as to how to vote his or her interest in the Stock Fund, the trustee will vote such interest in the same proportion as it has received voting instructions from other 401(k) Plan participants.
Q: If my broker holds my shares in “street name” will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?
A:No. If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to Sunshine (with respect to Sunshine stockholders) or directly to FBC (with respect to FBC shareholders) or by voting in person at the special meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Q: What if I abstain from voting or fail to instruct my bank, broker or other nominee?
A:FBC shareholders: If you (1) fail to submit a proxy or vote in person at the FBC Special Meeting, (2) mark “ABSTAIN” on your proxy, or (3) fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to the FBC merger proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the FBC merger proposal. If you (1) fail to submit a proxy or vote in person at the FBC Special Meeting, (2) mark “ABSTAIN” on your proxy, or (3) fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to the FBC adjournment proposal, it will have no effect on such proposal.
Sunshine stockholders: If you (1) fail to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Sunshine special meeting, (2) mark “ABSTAIN” on your proxy or (3) fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to the Sunshine merger proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Sunshine merger proposal.

Q: What do I need to do now?
A:After you have carefully read this document, indicate on your proxy card how you want your shares to be voted. Then date, sign and mail your proxy card in the enclosed prepaid return envelope as soon as possible. This will enable your shares to be represented and voted at the special meeting whether or not you attend. You may still attend the special meeting and vote in person even after you return the proxy card. Alternatively, if you are a Sunshine stockholder, you may vote through the internet or by telephone. Information and applicable deadlines for voting by internet or by telephone are set forth in the enclosed proxy card instructions. If you are a Sunshine stockholder, you are encouraged to vote through the internet or by telephone.

Q: Can I attend the special meeting and vote my shares in person?
A: Yes. All Sunshine stockholders and all FBC shareholders are invited to attend their respective special meetings. Stockholders of record can vote in person at the special meeting whether or not they have previously executed a proxy card. If a broker holds your shares in street name, then you are not the stockholder of record, and you must ask your broker how you can vote your shares at the special meeting.
Q: Can I change my vote?
A: If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent as your nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent.
FBC shareholders:Yes. Proxies may be revoked by sending written notice of revocation to the President and Chief Executive Officer of FBC Bancorp, Inc. at 105 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida 32802, delivering a later-dated proxy or by attending the FBC special meeting and voting in person. The presence at the FBC special meeting of any shareholder who had returned a proxy shall not revoke such proxy unless the stockholder delivers his or her ballot in person at the special meeting or delivers a written revocation prior to the voting of such proxy.
Sunshine stockholders:Yes. Proxies may be revoked by sending written notice of revocation to the Secretary of Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. at 102 West Baker Street, Plant City, Florida, 33563, delivering a later-dated proxy or by attending the Sunshine special meeting and voting in person. The presence at the Sunshine special meeting of any stockholder who had returned a proxy shall not revoke such proxy unless the stockholder delivers his or her ballot in person at the special meeting or delivers a written revocation to the Secretary of Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. prior to the voting of such proxy.
Q: Are FBC shareholders entitled to seek appraisal rights?
A:Yes. If a FBC shareholder wants to exercise appraisal rights and receive the fair value of shares of FBC common stock in cash instead of the merger consideration, then you must file a written objection with FBC prior to the vote at the FBC special meeting stating, among other things, that you will exercise your right to dissent if the merger is completed. Also, you may not vote in favor of the FBC merger proposal and must follow other procedures, both before and after the FBC special meeting, as described in Appendix F to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Note that if you return a signed proxy card without voting instructions or with instructions to vote “FOR” the FBC merger proposal, then your shares will automatically be voted in favor of the FBC merger proposal and you will lose all appraisal rights available under Florida law. A summary of these provisions can be found under “The Merger Agreement—FBC Shareholders Have Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 91 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Due to the complexity of the procedures for exercising the right to seek appraisal, FBC shareholders who are considering exercising such rights are encouraged to seek the advice of legal counsel. Failure to strictly comply with the applicable Florida law provisions will result in the loss of the right of appraisal.
Q: Are Sunshine stockholders entitled to seek appraisal rights?
A: No. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, Sunshine stockholders are not eligible for appraisal rights as a result of the proposed merger.
Q: If I am a FBC shareholder, should I send in my stock certificates now?
A: No, please do not send your FBC stock certificates with your proxy card. Instructions will be sent to you later for surrendering your FBC stock certificates in exchange for the merger consideration.
5
Q: What if I have lost or cannot locate my FBC stock certificates?
A: After the mailing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and assuming all conditions to completion of the merger have been satisfied (including Sunshine stockholder approval and FBC shareholder approval of the merger), FBC shareholders will receive a form of letter of transmittal and instructions from the exchange agent regarding the conversion of your FBC shares into the merger consideration. If you have your FBC certificates, please follow the instructions in the letter of transmittal for delivery of the certificates with your completed form to the exchange agent. If you cannot locate your FBC stock certificates and believe them to be lost, stolen or destroyed, please follow the instructions in the letter of transmittal dealing with lost, stolen or destroyed certificates. You will then be provided with an Affidavit of Lost Stock Certificate(s) to complete and return to FBC, or if you provide such affidavit after the merger occurs, to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will require you to provide a surety bond to protect FBC, the exchange agent and Sunshine in the event the subject certificates are later presented to the exchange agent or Sunshine for conversion into the merger consideration.
Q: When do you expect the merger to be completed?
A: Sunshine and FBC currently expect to complete the merger late in the third quarter or in the fourth quarter of 2016, assuming all of the conditions to completion of the merger have been timely satisfied, although delays could occur.
Q: Will I be able to sell the shares of Sunshine common stock that I receive in the merger?
A: Yes, in most cases. The shares of Sunshine common stock to be issued in the merger will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. However, if there are any former shareholders of FBC who will be deemed to be “affiliates” of Sunshine under the Securities Act after the merger (generally, directors and executive officers of Sunshine and stockholders holding 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sunshine), such persons must abide by certain transfer restrictions under the Securities Act.
Q: Whom should I call with questions?
A:FBC shareholders:If you have any questions concerning the merger or this joint proxy statement/prospectus, would like additional copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or need help voting your shares of FBC common stock, please contact Dana S. Kilborne, President and Chief Executive Officer of FBC, at the following address or telephone number: 105 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida 32802 or (407) 246-7772.

SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information included in this document and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire document and its appendices and the other documents to which this document refers before you decide how to vote with respect to the merger agreement. Each item in this summary includes a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that item.
Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, “Sunshine” refers to Sunshine Bancorp, Inc.; “Sunshine Bank” refers to Sunshine’s wholly-owned Federal savings bank subsidiary, Sunshine Bank; “FBC” refers to FBC Bancorp, Inc.; and “FBC Bank” refers to FBC’s wholly-owned Florida state bank subsidiary, Florida Bank of Commerce.
When reading this joint proxy statement/prospectus, please note that Maryland law refers to holders of common stock as stockholders while Florida law uses the term shareholder. The two terms mean the same thing in practice and for all practical purposes may be used interchangeably; however, we generally have used the term “stockholder” when referring to holders of Sunshine common stock or to Maryland law and “shareholder” when referring to holders of FBC common stock or to Florida law.
The Merger
The terms and conditions of the merger by which FBC will be merged with and into Sunshine, with Sunshine as the surviving entity, and FBC Bank will be merged with and into Sunshine Bank, with Sunshine Bank as the surviving entity, are contained in the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached to this document as Appendix A. We encourage you to read that agreement carefully.
Parties to the Merger

Sunshine Bank is a financial services institution focused on positively impacting the consumers, businesses, and non-profits throughout central Florida by creating financial success for its customers.

Sunshine’s website is www.mysunshinebank.com.

What FBC Shareholders Will Receive in the Merger (page 81)
If the merger agreement is approved and the merger is subsequently completed, on the effective time of the merger, each share of FBC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (excluding any FBC common stock owned by Sunshine or its subsidiaries, which will be cancelled for no additional consideration) will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares of common stock of Sunshine, subject to adjustment as described below. Each outstanding option to purchase FBC common stock will vest and be converted into the right to purchase a proportionate number of shares of Sunshine common stock, as adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio (0.88) in the merger agreement. As a result of the merger (and assuming no adjustment to the exchange ratio and none of FBC’s shareholders exercise appraisal rights and receive cash for their shares in lieu of Sunshine common stock), FBC’s shareholders and option holders would own approximately 34.6% of the Sunshine common stock, on a fully diluted and as-converted basis.
In addition, if Sunshine’s stock price (measured four days prior to the closing of the merger) is (i) more than 20% lower than Sunshine’s stock price on the trading day before the entry into the merger agreement was publicly announced and (ii) such decrease in Sunshine’s stock price is more than 20% relative to the change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index on the corresponding dates, FBC shall have a right to terminate the merger agreement unless Sunshine agrees to increase the exchange ratio by a fixed percentage based on the relative price decrease of Sunshine’s common stock and the relative change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index.
The precise dollar value of the merger consideration depends upon the market price of Sunshine’s common stock prior to closing.
You will not receive any fractional shares in the merger. Instead, you will receive a cash payment, without interest and rounded up to the nearest whole cent, for the value of any fraction of a share of Sunshine common stock that you would otherwise be entitled to receive, based on Sunshine’s weighted average stock price to the merger.
Recommendation of the FBC Board of Directors (page 69)
After careful consideration, the FBC board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair, advisable and in the best interests of FBC and its shareholders and has approved the merger agreement. The FBC board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the FBC merger proposal and “FOR” the FBC adjournment proposal. For the factors considered by the FBC board of directors in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, see “The Merger—FBC’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the FBC Board of Directors.”
Recommendation of the Sunshine Board of Directors (page 57)
After careful consideration, the Sunshine board of directors has determined that the merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the Equity Plan amendment, are advisable and in the best interests of Sunshine and its stockholders and has unanimously approved the merger agreement. The Sunshine board of directors unanimously recommends that Sunshine stockholders vote “FOR” the Sunshine merger proposal, “FOR” the Equity Plan amendment proposal, and “FOR” the Sunshine adjournment proposal at the Sunshine special meeting. For the factors considered by the Sunshine board of directors in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, see “The Merger—Sunshine’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Sunshine’s Board of Directors.”
Opinion of Sunshine’s Financial Advisor (page 58 and Appendix D)
In connection with the merger, Sunshine’s financial advisor, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”) delivered a written opinion, dated May 9, 2016, to Sunshine’s board of directors as to the fairness, from a
10
financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to Sunshine of the exchange ratio in the proposed merger. The full text of KBW’s opinion, which describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW in preparing the opinion, is attached as Appendix D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the Sunshine board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger. The opinion did not address the underlying business decision of Sunshine to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the Sunshine board of directors in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Sunshine common stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter.
Opinion of FBC’s Financial Advisor (page 70 and Appendix E)
At the May 9, 2016 meeting of the FBC board of directors, representatives of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (which we refer to as “Raymond James”) rendered Raymond James’ oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion to the board dated May 9, 2016, as to the fairness, as of such date, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, based upon and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and other matters considered in connection with the preparation of its opinion.
The full text of the written opinion of Raymond James, dated May 9, 2016, which sets forth, among other things, the various qualifications, assumptions and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken, is attached as Appendix E to this document. Raymond James provided its opinion for the information and assistance of the FBC board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with, and for purposes of, its consideration of the merger and its opinion only addresses the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement. The opinion of Raymond James did not address any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or the merger contemplated thereby. The Raymond James opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the FBC board of directors or any shareholder of FBC as to how the board, such shareholder or any other person should vote or otherwise act with respect to the merger or any other matter.
Sunshine Special Meeting of Stockholders (page 46)
Sunshine will hold a special meeting of its stockholders on September 28, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at Sunshine’s office located at 102 West Baker Street, Plant City, Florida 33563. At the special meeting, Sunshine’s stockholders will be asked to vote on the following proposals:
| 1. | To approve a proposal to adopt the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, referred to as the Sunshine merger proposal; |
| 2. | To approve an amendment to the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to (i) increase the total number of shares of Sunshine’s common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan from 592,480 shares to 742,480 shares; (ii) remove the cap on the aggregate number of options and restricted stock awards that can be made under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (subject to the cap on the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan); (iii) update and increase the annual award limitations for non-employee directors on an individual and aggregate basis; and (iv) permit the assumption of awards and subsequent issuance of replacement awards by Sunshine in connection with any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of property or stock; and |
| 3. | To approve a proposal to authorize the Sunshine board of directors to adjourn or postpone the Sunshine special meeting to a later date, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the Sunshine merger proposal, referred to as the Sunshine adjournment proposal. |
11
Stockholder approval of the Sunshine merger proposal is required to complete the merger. Sunshine will transact no business other than as listed above at the Sunshine special meeting, except for business properly brought before the Sunshine special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
You may vote at the special meeting of stockholders if you owned shares of Sunshine common stock at the close of business on the Sunshine record date, August 18, 2016. On that date, there were 5,261,794 shares of Sunshine common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. You may cast one vote for each share of Sunshine common stock you owned on the Sunshine record date.
Approval of the Sunshine merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of Sunshine common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of the vote on the Sunshine merger proposal, a failure to vote, a failure to instruct your bank, broker or other nominees how to vote and a vote marked “ABSTAIN” will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Sunshine merger proposal, although abstentions will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Approval of the Equity Plan amendment proposal and the Sunshine adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Sunshine common stock represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals, whether or not a quorum is present. If you fail to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Sunshine special meeting or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to the Equity Plan amendment proposal and/or the adjournment proposal, it will have no effect on such proposals. In accordance with the provisions of Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, record holders of common stock who beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock (the “Limit”) are not entitled to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the Limit. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation authorize its board of directors (i) to make all determinations necessary to implement and apply the Limit, including determining whether persons or entities are acting in concert, and (ii) to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own stock in excess of the Limit supply information to Sunshine to enable its board of directors to implement and apply the Limit.
Even if you expect to attend the special meeting of stockholders, Sunshine recommends that you promptly complete and return your proxy card in the enclosed return envelope.
Each Sunshine director and executive officer have entered into voting agreements, the form of which is attached as Appendix C to this document, with FBC agreeing to, among other things, vote their shares of Sunshine common stock in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. As of the Sunshine record date, Sunshine’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates held approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock entitled to vote at the Sunshine special meeting.
FBC Special Meeting of Shareholders (page 50)
FBC will hold a special meeting of its shareholders on September 29, 2016, at 8:00 a.m., local time, at FBC’s office located at 105 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida 32802. At the special meeting, FBC shareholders will be asked to vote on the following proposals:
| 1. | To approve a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, referred to as the FBC merger proposal; and |
| 2. | To approve a proposal to authorize the FBC board of directors to adjourn or postpone the FBC special meeting to a later date, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the FBC merger proposal, referred to as the FBC adjournment proposal. |
Shareholder approval of the FBC merger proposal is required to complete the merger. FBC will transact no business other than as listed above at the FBC special meeting, except for business properly brought before the FBC’s special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
12
You may vote at the special meeting of shareholders if you owned shares of FBC common stock at the close of business on the FBC record date, August 18, 2016. On that date, there were 3,096,824 shares of FBC common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the FBC special meeting of shareholders. You may cast one vote for each share of FBC common stock you owned on the FBC record date.
Approval of the FBC merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of FBC common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. Because the required vote is based upon the outstanding shares of FBC common stock, a failure to vote or a vote to “ABSTAIN” will have the same effect as a vote against the merger. The FBC adjournment proposal will be approved if the votes cast for that proposal by the holders of FBC common stock exceed the votes cast against such proposal by the holders of FBC common stock.
Even if you expect to attend the special meeting of shareholders, FBC recommends that you promptly complete and return your proxy card in the enclosed return envelope.
Each FBC director and executive officer have entered into voting agreements, the form of which is attached as Appendix B to this document, with Sunshine agreeing to, among other things, vote their shares of FBC common stock in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (subject to certain exceptions) and restricting the transfer of the individual’s shares of FBC common stock during the period between signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger. As of the FBC record date, FBC directors (including directors of FBC Bank), executive officers and their affiliates held approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of FBC common stock entitled to vote at the FBC special meeting.
FBC Shareholders Have Appraisal Rights (page 91)
Under Florida law, FBC shareholders have the right to dissent from the merger and receive a cash payment equal to the fair value of their shares of FBC common stock instead of receiving the applicable merger consideration. To exercise appraisal rights, FBC shareholders must strictly follow the procedures established by Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), which include filing a written objection with FBC prior to the vote at the FBC special meeting stating, among other things, that the shareholder will exercise his or her right to dissent if the merger is completed, and not voting for approval of the FBC merger proposal. A shareholder’s failure to vote against the FBC merger proposal will not constitute a waiver of such shareholder’s appraisal rights provided that such shareholder has filed the written objection discussed above with FBC prior to the vote at the FBC special meeting.
Interests of FBC Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger (page 78)
In considering the recommendation of the FBC board of directors to approve the merger, you should be aware that the executive officers and directors of FBC have certain financial interests in the merger that are in addition to their interests as FBC shareholders. For example, certain executive officers of FBC will receive “change of control” payments in connection with the merger pursuant to existing employment agreements with FBC Bank. In addition, certain FBC executive officers and directors own stock options that, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement and whether or not vested, will be, as of the effective time of the merger, canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of Sunshine common stock as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Also, FBC’s President and Chief Executive Officer has entered into an employment agreement with Sunshine Bank which becomes effective as of the closing of the merger. Sunshine has agreed to indemnify each present and former officer and director of FBC for six years following the effective date of the merger, to the fullest extent as presently provided under FBC’s organizational documents and Florida law, for any claim against any such present and former officer and director in their capacity as such, subject to applicable law. Additionally, officers and directors of FBC currently are covered by liability insurance for certain acts and omissions in their
13
capacity as officers and/or directors of FBC. This insurance coverage will be continued by Sunshine for a period of six years after the merger for acts and omissions of such persons in their capacity as officers and/or directors of FBC occurring before the merger. The FBC board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in its decision to approve the merger agreement.
As of the date of the merger agreement, executive officers and directors of FBC and FBC Bank did not own any shares of Sunshine common stock.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (page 96)
Sunshine and FBC have each received an opinion to the effect that the merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for United States federal income tax purposes. The opinion will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view.
We expect that, for United States federal income tax purposes, you generally will not recognize any gain or loss with respect to the exchange of your shares of FBC common stock for shares of Sunshine common stock in the merger. You will, however, have to recognize gain in connection with any cash received in lieu of a fractional share interest in Sunshine common stock.
You should read “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” on page 96 for a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular tax situation and could vary from the general consequences described above. We strongly recommend that you consult your tax advisor to fully understand the tax consequences of the merger to you.
Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger (page 94)
To complete the merger, the parties must receive the prior approvals of the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC. The U.S. Department of Justice is also able to provide input into the approval process of federal banking agencies and will have between 15 and 30 days following any approval of a federal banking agency to challenge the approval on antitrust grounds. An application for approval of the mergers was filed with the OCC on June 27, 2016, and Sunshine filed an application with the Federal Reserve Board on August 10, 2016.
Conditions to the Merger (page 87)
Completion of the merger depends on a number of conditions being satisfied or waived, including the following:
| • | | adoption of the merger agreement by Sunshine stockholders and FBC shareholders; |
| • | | all regulatory approvals and consents must have been obtained, any necessary approvals shall not contain a material adverse non-standard term or condition, and all waiting periods required by law must have expired or been terminated; |
| • | | the consummation of the merger shall not be illegal or otherwise prohibited and no temporary, preliminary or permanent restraining order preventing the consummation of the merger is in effect; and |
| • | | certain other conditions customary for agreements of this sort, such as the accuracy of representations and warranties subject to the materiality standards set forth in the merger agreement, the compliance in all material respects by the parties with their obligations under the merger agreement, and thenon-existence of a material adverse effect (as such term is defined in the merger agreement). |
We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived or whether or not the merger will be completed.
14
No Solicitation (page 87)
FBC has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to initiate discussions with another party regarding a business combination with such other party while the merger with Sunshine is pending.
Termination of the Merger Agreement (page 89)
Sunshine and FBC may mutually agree at any time to terminate the merger agreement without completing the merger, even if the Sunshine stockholders and FBC shareholders have each approved it. The merger agreement also contains certain termination rights, including, among others, the right of either party to terminate if (i) the merger shall not have become effective by May 9, 2017, (ii) the consummation of the merger has been enjoined or prohibited, (iii) Sunshine or FBC stockholder approvals are not obtained, (iv) the other party breaches its representations and covenants and such breach would result in the closing conditions not being satisfied, (v) such party enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior alternative transaction (subject to payment of the termination fee to the other party as described below) or (vi) the board of directors of the other party makes an adverse change in its recommendation with respect to stockholder adoption of the merger agreement.
In addition, if Sunshine’s stock price (measured four days prior to the closing of the merger) is (i) more than 20% lower than Sunshine’s stock price on the trading day before the entry into the merger agreement was publicly announced and (ii) such decrease in Sunshine’s stock price is more than 20% relative to the change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index on the corresponding dates, FBC shall have a right to terminate the merger agreement unless Sunshine agrees to increase the exchange ratio by a fixed percentage based on the relative price decrease of Sunshine’s common stock and the relative change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index.
Termination Fee (page 90)
The merger agreement provides that upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, including termination of the merger agreement by either party as a result of an adverse change in the recommendation of FBC’s board of directors, or in order for FBC to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior alternative transaction, FBC may be required to pay Sunshine a termination fee of $1.8 million. If FBC terminates the merger agreement because Sunshine fails to convene the special stockholder meeting or Sunshine’s stockholders fail to approve the merger agreement after there is a publicly announced offer to purchase at least 20% or more of Sunshine’s or Sunshine Bank’s capital stock or consolidated assets, Sunshine may be required to pay FBC a termination fee of $1.8 million. If the merger agreement is terminated by a party as a result of the other party’s breach of its representations and covenants and such breach would result in the closing conditions not being satisfied, then the non-terminating party will be required to pay the terminating party $750,000 as liquidated damages.
FBC agreed to the termination fee in order to induce Sunshine to enter into the merger agreement. The termination fee requirement may discourage other companies from trying or proposing to combine with FBC before the merger is completed.
Differences in Rights of Stockholders (page 200)
The rights of FBC shareholders after the merger who continue as stockholders of Sunshine will be governed by Maryland law rather than Florida law. After the merger is completed, the articles of incorporation and bylawsof Sunshine, rather than the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FBC, will govern your rights as a stockholder. For more information, please see the section entitled “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights” beginning on page 200.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA AND COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION
The following table sets forth for both Sunshine common stock and FBC common stock certain historical, pro forma and pro forma equivalent per share financial information. The historical per share data were derived from the financial statements of Sunshine that have been filed with the SEC, certain of which are included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The pro forma and pro forma equivalent per share information gives effect to the merger as if the transaction had been effective on the date presented, in the case of book value data, and as if the transaction had been effective on January 1, 2015, in the case of the income and dividend data. The pro forma information in the table assumes that the merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.
This information is presented for illustrative purposes only. You should not rely on the pro forma combined or pro forma equivalent amounts as they are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger had been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company. The pro forma information, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings, opportunities to earn additional revenue, the impact of restructuring and merger-related costs or other factors that may result as a consequence of the merger and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. The information below should be read in conjunction with the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Information” beginning on page 20.

FBC common stock is not listed on an exchange or quoted on any automated services, and there is no established trading market for shares of FBC common stock. FBC paid no dividends during past two years. As of June 30, 2016, there were 3,096,824 shares of FBC common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 444 shareholders of record and there were 5,261,150 shares of Sunshine common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 231 stockholders of record. Certain shares of Sunshine are held in “nominee” or “street” name and accordingly, the number of beneficial owners of such shares is not known or included in the foregoing number.
The following table sets forth the closing sale prices per share of Sunshine common stock (on a historical basis) and FBC common stock (on a historical and equivalent basis) on May 9, 2016, the last trading day before the public announcement of the signing of the merger agreement, and on August 26, 2016, the latest practicable date before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

We urge you to obtain current market quotations for Sunshine common stock. Because trading prices fluctuate, FBC shareholders are not assured of receiving any specific market value of Sunshine common stock. The price of Sunshine common stock when the merger becomes effective may be higher or lower than its price when the merger agreement was signed, when this joint proxy statement/prospectus was mailed or when the Sunshine stockholders and FBC shareholders meet to vote on the merger.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to general investment risks and the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the section “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 7, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Risks Related to the Merger
Because the market price of Sunshine’s common stock may fluctuate, FBC shareholders cannot be certain of the precise value of the merger consideration they will be entitled to receive.
At the time the merger is completed, each issued and outstanding share of FBC common stock, except for certain specified shares owned by Sunshine, will be converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares of Sunshine common stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares. There will be a time lapse between each of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the Sunshine special meeting, the date of the FBC special meeting and the date on which FBC shareholders entitled to receive the merger consideration actually receive the merger consideration. The market value of Sunshine common stock may fluctuate during these periods as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in Sunshine’s business, operations and prospects and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are outside of the control of Sunshine and FBC. Consequently, at the time FBC shareholders must decide whether to approve the merger agreement, they will not know the actual market value of the shares of Sunshine common stock they may receive when the merger is completed.
Because the lack of a public market for FBC’s common stock makes it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the merger, FBC shareholders may receive consideration in the merger that is greater than or less than the fair value of the shares of common stock of FBC.
FBC is privately held and its outstanding capital stock is not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it extremely difficult to determine the fair value of FBC or its shares of common stock. Since the percentage of Sunshine’s equity to be issued to the FBC shareholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the Sunshine common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be greater than the fair value of FBC. Alternatively, it is possible that the value of the shares of Sunshine common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be less than the fair value of FBC.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on the combined company following the merger.
Before the merger can be completed, the parties to the merger agreement must obtain approvals from the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC. Other approvals, waivers or consents from, or filings with, regulators may also be required. In determining whether to grant these approvals, waivers and consents, the regulators consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each party. An adverse development in any party’s regulatory standing or these factors could result in an inability to obtain approval or delay receipt thereof. These regulators may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger. Such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying or preventing completion of the merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of the combined company following the completion of the merger, any of which might have an adverse effect on the combined company following the completion of the merger. However, under the terms of the merger agreement, if such regulatory approvals contain any prohibition, limitation, or other requirement which would materially prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by FBC or any of its subsidiaries, or by Sunshine or any of its subsidiaries, of all or any material portion of the business or assets of FBC or any of its subsidiaries or Sunshine or its subsidiaries, or compel Sunshine or any of
26
its subsidiaries to dispose of all or any material portion of the business or assets of FBC or any of its subsidiaries or Sunshine or any of its subsidiaries, continue any portion of any regulatory agreement of FBC against Sunshine after the merger, or otherwise be reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on Sunshine or any of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole and giving effect to the merger (measured on a scale relative to FBC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), then the parties could elect to not close the merger. For more information, see the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement — Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger” beginning on page 94.
Sunshine and FBC have and will continue to incur significant, non-recurring merger-related transaction and integration costs in connection with the merger, which could adversely affect either company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Sunshine and FBC each have incurred and expect to continue to incur substantial costs in connection with the negotiation and completion of the merger and combining the businesses and operations of the two companies, and additional unanticipated transaction- and merger-related costs may be incurred prior to or following the consummation of the merger. Whether or not the merger is consummated, Sunshine and FBC expect to continue to incur substantial expenses associated with planning for and completing the merger and combining the operations of the two companies, including such non-recurring expenses as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, printing fees, data processing and other fees related to formulating integration and conversion plans. Although Sunshine and FBC expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction- and merger-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. The costs described above, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating results of Sunshine following completion of the merger.
Combining the two companies may be more difficult or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized.
Sunshine and FBC have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the merger, including anticipated benefits, will depend, in part, on Sunshine’s ability to successfully combine and integrate the businesses of Sunshine and FBC in a manner that permits growth opportunities and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relations nor result in decreased revenues due to loss of customers. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of either company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors, employees and other constituents or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. The loss of key employees could adversely affect Sunshine’s ability to successfully conduct its business, which could have an adverse effect on Sunshine’s financial results and the value of its common stock. If Sunshine experiences difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. As with any merger of financial institutions, there also may be business disruptions that cause Sunshine and/or FBC to lose customers or cause customers to remove their accounts from Sunshine and/or FBC and move their business to competing financial institutions. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of FBC and Sunshine during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the merger on the combined company.
The fairness opinions delivered by Sunshine’s and FBC’s financial advisors to the parties’ respective boards of directors prior to the execution of the merger agreement will not reflect any changes in circumstances since the date of the merger agreement.
The fairness opinions received by the boards of directors of Sunshine and FBC from the parties’ respective financial advisors, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., respectively, are each
27
dated May 9, 2016, the date of the merger agreement. Such opinions have not been updated as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and will not be updated at, or prior to, the time of the completion of the merger. Changes in the operations and prospects of Sunshine and FBC, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Sunshine and FBC may alter the value of Sunshine or FBC or the prices of shares of Sunshine common stock or FBC common stock by the time the merger is completed. The opinions do not speak as of the time the merger is completed or as of any date other than the date of the respective opinion. Management of Sunshine is not aware of any material changes in Sunshine’s operations or performance since the delivery of the opinions or that are anticipated to occur before the Sunshine special meeting takes place or before the merger is completed. Management of FBC is not aware of any material changes in FBC’s operations or performance since the delivery of the opinions or that are anticipated to occur before the FBC special meeting takes place or by the time the merger is completed. Neither financial advisor has any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion to reflect subsequent developments and neither has done so. A copy of the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. opinions are included as Appendix D and Appendix E, respectively, to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the opinions, please refer to “The Merger—Opinion of Sunshine’s Financial Advisor” and “The Merger—Opinion of FBC’s Financial Advisor” beginning on pages 58 and 70, respectively. For a description of the other factors considered by Sunshine’s and FBC’s boards of directors in determining to approve the merger, please refer to “The Merger—Sunshine’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Sunshine’s Board of Directors” and “The Merger—FBC’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the FBC Board of Directors” beginning on pages 57 and 69, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information included in this document is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the merger may differ materially.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Sunshine’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information reflects adjustments to illustrate the effect of the merger had it been completed on the dates indicated, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to record the FBC identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value and the resulting goodwill recognized. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For more information, see the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Information” beginning on page 20.
Certain of FBC’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that may differ from the interests of the FBC shareholders.
The FBC shareholders should be aware that some of FBC’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger and have arrangements that are different from, or in addition to, those of FBC shareholders generally. The FBC board was aware of these interests and considered these interests, among other matters, when making its decision to approve the merger agreement, and in recommending that FBC shareholders vote in favor of the FBC merger proposal and certain related matters and against alternative transactions.
The material interests considered by the FBC board were as follows:
| • | | Employment agreements for Ralph Betancourt, Executive Vice President and Orlando Market Area President of FBC Bank, and Phillip Tasker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of FBC and FBC Bank, that each provide for cash severance payments, life insurance and medical and dental benefits in the event of a termination of employment without cause or for good reason following a change in control; |
| • | | Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, Sunshine and Sunshine Bank have agreed to enter into an employment agreement with Dana Kilborne, President and Chief Executive Officer of |
28
| FBC Bank, to serve as Executive Vice President of Sunshine and Co-President and Chief Banking Officer of Sunshine Bank following the closing of merger. In addition, Ms. Kilborne is entitled to a change of control payment of $947,047 (plus a tax gross-up payment of approximately $390,000) upon the closing of the merger under her current employment agreement with FBC; |
| • | | Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, Sunshine and Sunshine Bank have agreed to appoint five of FBC’s current board members to serve as members of the Sunshine and Sunshine Bank boards; |
| • | | FBC has made awards of stock options to certain of its officers and directors under the 2014 Directors’ Stock Option Plan and FBC’s 2014 Officers’ and Employees’ Stock Option Plan. As a result of the merger, each stock option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to closing will be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Sunshine common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of FBC common stock subject to such FBC option immediately prior to the effective time by (y) 0.88; and the exercise per share of the new option (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share exercise price for the shares of FBC common stock subject to such FBC option by (ii) 0.88. In connection with the merger, FBC intends to amend the foregoing plans to provide that options issued to those directors of FBC who are not then appointed to the board of Sunshine or Sunshine Bank shall not terminate upon the effective date of the merger; and |
| • | | Rights of FBC officers and directors to continued indemnification coverage and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. |
For a more complete description of these interests, see the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger—Interests of FBC’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger” beginning on page 78.
Termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact FBC or Sunshine.
If the merger agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences. For example, FBC’s or Sunshine’s businesses may have been impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other opportunities due to management’s focus on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger. Additionally, if the merger agreement is terminated, the market price of the Sunshine common stock could decline to the extent that the current market prices reflect a market assumption that the merger will be completed. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, FBC or Sunshine may be required to pay to the other party a termination fee of $1.8 million and/or liquidated damages of $750,000. For a more complete description of these potential payments, see the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination” beginning on page 90.
FBC and Sunshine will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on FBC or Sunshine. These uncertainties may impair FBC’s or Sunshine’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is consummated, and could cause customers and others that deal with FBC or Sunshine to seek to change existing business relationships with FBC or Sunshine. Experienced employees in the financial services industry are in high demand and competition for their talents can be intense. Retention of certain employees by FBC or Sunshine may be challenging while the merger is pending, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Sunshine. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with FBC or Sunshine, FBC’s business or Sunshine’s business could be harmed. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, FBC has agreed to
29
operate its business in the ordinary course prior to closing, and each of FBC and Sunshine has agreed to certain restrictive covenants. See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement — Conduct of Business Pending the Merger” beginning on page 85 for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to FBC and Sunshine.
The merger agreement limits FBC’s ability to pursue acquisition proposals and requires either company to pay a termination fee of $1.8 million and/or liquidated damages of $750,000 under limited circumstances, including circumstances relating to acquisition proposals for FBC. Additionally, certain provisions of FBC’s articles of incorporation may deter potential acquirers.
The merger agreement prohibits FBC from initiating, soliciting, knowingly inducing, knowingly encouraging, or knowingly facilitating certain third-party acquisition proposals. In addition, unless the merger agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, FBC has an unqualified obligation to submit the FBC merger proposal to a vote by FBC shareholders, even if FBC receives a proposal that the FBC board believes is superior to the merger. The merger agreement also provides that Sunshine or FBC must pay a termination fee in the amount of $1.8 million and/or liquidated damages of $750,000 in the event that the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including FBC’s failure to abide by certain obligations not to solicit acquisition proposals. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of FBC from considering or proposing such an acquisition. See the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement —Agreement to Not Solicit Other Offers” beginning on page 87 and “The Merger Agreement — Effect of Termination” beginning on page 90.
Each of FBC’s directors and certain of its officer and principal shareholders, solely in his or her or its capacity as a FBC shareholder, have entered into separate voting agreements and have agreed to vote their shares of FBC common stock in favor of the FBC merger proposal and against alternative transactions. The FBC shareholders that are party to these voting agreements beneficially own and are entitled to vote in the aggregate approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of FBC common stock as of the FBC record date. In addition, each of Sunshine’s directors and officer, solely in his or her capacity as a Sunshine stockholder, have entered into separate voting agreements and have agreed to vote their shares of Sunshine common stock in favor of the Sunshine merger proposal and against alternative transactions. The Sunshine stockholders that are party to these voting agreements beneficially own and are entitled to vote in the aggregate approximately 7.4% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock as of the date of the merger agreement. Additionally, certain provisions of FBC’s articles of incorporation (which allow FBC’s board of directors the ability to cause FBC to issue preferred stock with terms the board deems appropriate) or of the Florida Business Corporations Act could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire control of FBC or may discourage a potential competing acquirer.
The shares of Sunshine common stock to be received by FBC shareholders as a result of the merger will have different rights from the shares of FBC common stock.
The rights of FBC shareholders are currently governed by the Florida Business Corporations Act, FBC’s articles of incorporation and FBC’s bylaws. Upon completion of the merger, FBC shareholders will become Sunshine stockholders and their rights as stockholders will then be governed by the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Sunshine certificate of incorporation, and the Sunshine bylaws. The rights associated with FBC common stock are different from the rights associated with Sunshine common stock. See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights” beginning on page 200 for a discussion of the different rights associated with Sunshine common stock.
Holders of FBC and Sunshine common stock will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.
Holders of FBC and Sunshine common stock currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors and on other matters affecting FBC and Sunshine, respectively. Upon the completion of the merger,
30
each FBC shareholder who receives shares of Sunshine common stock will become a Sunshine stockholder with a percentage ownership of Sunshine that is smaller than such holder’s percentage ownership of FBC. It is currently expected that the former FBC shareholders as a group will receive shares in the merger constituting approximately 34.6% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock immediately after the merger. As a result, current Sunshine stockholders as a group will own approximately 65.4% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock immediately after the merger. Because of this, FBC shareholders may have less influence on the management and policies of Sunshine than they now have on the management and policies of FBC, and current Sunshine stockholders may have less influence than they now have on the management and policies of Sunshine.
The market price of Sunshine common stock after the merger is completed may be affected by factors different from those affecting the market price of FBC or Sunshine common stock currently.
Upon completion of the merger, FBC shareholders will become Sunshine stockholders. Sunshine’s business differs in important respects from that of FBC, and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of Sunshine common stock after the completion of the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of Sunshine and FBC. For a discussion of the businesses of Sunshine and FBC and of some important factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the see the sections entitled “Sunshine’s Business,” “Sunshine’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “FBC’s Business,” “FBC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the audited historical financial statements of Sunshine and FBC, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The merger may fail to qualify as a reorganization for federal tax purposes, resulting in recognition of taxable gain or loss by FBC shareholders with respect to their FBC shares.
Sunshine and FBC intend the merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If, however, the merger fails to qualify as such reorganization, a FBC shareholder generally would recognize gain or loss on each share of FBC common stock surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between such shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in that share and the fair market value of the merger consideration received in exchange for that share upon completion of the merger.
Risks Related to Sunshine’s Business
Sunshine may be unable to successfully implement its business strategy and as a result, its financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.
Sunshine’s future success will depend upon management’s ability to successfully implement its strategic and organic growth plan which includes growing its commercial business lending with an emphasis on originating loans to small businesses and acquisitions of companies or branches that complement Sunshine’s current position.
Given their larger balances and the complexity of the underlying collateral, commercial real estate and commercial business loans generally expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to four-family real estate. Additionally, future success in the commercial banking area will depend on management’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated loan originators. Sunshine Bank competes with many institutions that have greater financial resources to attract these qualified individuals. Failure to recruit and retain adequate talent would limit Sunshine’s ability to compete successfully and would adversely affect Sunshine’s business and profitability.
31
Sunshine believes that it has the management resources and internal systems in place to successfully implement its business strategy. However, it will take time to fully implement its business strategy and achieve the intended results of its strategy. During the period Sunshine is implementing its business strategy, its results of operations may be negatively impacted. In addition, even if Sunshine’s strategy is fully implemented, it may not produce positive results.
Sunshine’s commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans generally carry greater credit risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to four-family real estate, and these risks will increase if Sunshine continues to increase these types of loans.
At June 30, 2016, $299.2 million, or 79.8%, of Sunshine’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate, multi-family, construction, and commercial business loans. Given their larger balances and the complexity of the underlying collateral, commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans generally expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to four-family real estate. Also, many of Sunshine’s borrowers have more than one of these types of loans outstanding. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose Sunshine to significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential real estate loan. These loans also have greater credit risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans for the following reasons:
| • | | commercial real estate and multi-family loans—repayment is generally dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service. |
| • | | commercial business loans—repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business. |
If loans that are collateralized by real estate or other business assets become troubled and the value of the collateral becomes significantly impaired, then Sunshine may not be able to recover the full contractual amount of principal and interest that it anticipated at the time it originated the loan, which could cause Sunshine to increase its provision for loan losses, which would in turn adversely affect its operating results and financial condition.
Furthermore, a key component of Sunshine’s strategy is to continue to increase its origination of commercial real estate and commercial business loans to diversify its loan portfolio and increase its returns or yields on its loan portfolio, which will significantly increase its exposure to the risks inherent in these types of loans.
Sunshine has a high concentration of loans in a small geographic market area, which makes its business highly susceptible to downturns in the local economies and depressed banking markets, which could be detrimental to its financial condition.
Unlike larger financial institutions that are more geographically diversified, Sunshine is a community banking franchise concentrated in Central Florida. As of June 30, 2016, almost all of the loans in Sunshine’s loan portfolio were made to borrowers who live and/or conduct business in Central Florida and almost all of Sunshine’s loans were secured by real estate or other assets located in that market area. Deterioration in local economic conditions in the real estate market could have a material adverse effect on the quality of Sunshine’s portfolio by eroding the loan-to-value ratio of its portfolio, the demand for its products and services, the ability of borrowers to timely repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and its financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. In addition, if the population or income growth in the region is slower than projected, income levels, deposits and real estate development could be adversely affected and could result in the curtailment of Sunshine’s expansion, growth and profitability. If any of these developments were to result in losses that materially and adversely affected Sunshine Bank’s capital, Sunshine might be subject to regulatory restrictions on operations and growth and required to raise additional capital.
32
Sunshine’s business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property.
At June 30, 2016, $63.2 million, or 16.9%, of Sunshine’s total loan portfolio was secured by one- to four-family real estate. One- to four-family residential mortgage lending is generally sensitive to regional and local economic conditions that significantly impact the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations, making loss levels difficult to predict. The decline in residential real estate values as a result of the downturn in the Florida housing market between 2008 and 2011 reduced the value of the real estate collateral securing these types of loans. While the Florida housing market has improved in recent years, certain of Sunshine’s residential mortgage loans are secured by liens on mortgage properties in which the borrowers may have little or no equity because of the previous decline in home values in Sunshine’s market areas. As a result, Sunshine has increased risk that it could incur losses if borrowers default on their loans because Sunshine may be unable to recover all or part of the defaulted loans by selling the real estate collateral. In addition, if the borrowers sell their homes, they may be unable to repay their loans in full from the sale proceeds. For these reasons, Sunshine may experience higher rates of delinquencies, defaults and losses on its residential mortgage loans.
A return of recessionary conditions could result in increases in Sunshine’s level of nonperforming loans and/or reduced demand for Sunshine’s products and services, which could have an adverse effect on Sunshine’s results of operations.
Nationally, economic growth has been slow and uneven. Recovery by many businesses has been impaired by lower consumer spending. A return to deteriorating economic conditions or negative developments in the domestic and international credit markets could significantly affect Sunshine’s customers’ operations, the value of Sunshine’s loans and investments, and the demand for Sunshine’s products and services. These events may cause Sunshine to incur losses and may adversely affect Sunshine’s financial condition and results of operations.
Future changes in interest rates could reduce Sunshine’s profits and asset values.
Net income is the amount by which net interest income and noninterest income exceeds noninterest expense and the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Net interest income makes up a majority of Sunshine’s income and is the difference between:
| • | | interest income Sunshine earns on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities; and |
| • | | interest expense Sunshine pays on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits. |
Sunshine is vulnerable to changes in interest rates, including the shape of the yield curve, because of a mismatch between the terms to maturity and repricing of Sunshine’s assets and liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and the six months ended June 30, 2016, Sunshine’s net interest margin was 2.94%, 3.53%, and 3.57%, respectively. Changes in interest rates also can affect: (i) Sunshine’s ability to originate loans; (ii) the value of Sunshine’s interest-earning assets; (iii) Sunshine’s ability to obtain and retain deposits; and (iv) the ability of Sunshine’s borrowers to repay their loans, particularly adjustable rate loans.
Historically low interest rates may adversely affect Sunshine’s net interest income and profitability.
In recent years it has been the policy of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain interest rates at historically low levels through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. As a result, market rates on the loans originated by Sunshine and the yields on securities purchased by Sunshine have been at lower levels compared to those that existed prior to 2008. As of June 30, 2016, 73.7% of Sunshine’s deposit balances do not have stated maturities. Sunshine’s non-maturity deposits and time deposits may reprice or mature more quickly than its interest-earning assets. Sunshine’s ability to lower its interest expense on deposits may be limited at these current low interest rate levels while the average yield on its interest-earning assets may continue to decrease. The Federal Reserve Board may continue to maintain low interest rates. Accordingly, Sunshine’s net interest income (the difference between interest income earn on Sunshine’s assets
33
and the interest expense paid on Sunshine’s liabilities) may continue to decrease, which will have an adverse effect on Sunshine’s profitability.
Sunshine’s financial performance will be negatively impacted if Sunshine is unable to execute its growth strategy and manage its growth.
Sunshine’s current growth strategy is to grow organically and through select acquisitions. Sunshine’s ability to grow organically depends primarily on generating loans and deposits of acceptable risk and expense, and Sunshine may not be successful in continuing this organic growth. Sunshine’s ability to identify and consummate appropriate acquisitions, depends upon prevailing economic conditions, availability of sufficient capital, Sunshine’s ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel, competitive factors and changes in banking laws, among other factors. Sustaining Sunshine’s growth will require Sunshine to commit additional management, operational and financial resources to identify new professionals to join Sunshine and to maintain appropriate operational and financial systems to adequately support expansion. These activities may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on Sunshine’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If Sunshine grows too quickly and is unable to control costs and maintain asset quality, such growth, whether organic or through select acquisitions, could materially and adversely affect Sunshine’s financial condition and results of operations.
Sunshine may make additional acquisitions in the future, which may be restricted by applicable regulation, difficult to integrate, divert management resources, result in unanticipated costs, or dilute Sunshine’s stockholders.
Part of Sunshine’s business strategy is to make acquisitions of, or investments in, companies that complement Sunshine’s current position or offer growth opportunities. Federal and Florida state banking laws restrict the activities that Sunshine and Sunshine Bank may lawfully conduct, whether directly or indirectly through acquisitions, subsidiaries and certain interests in other companies. These laws also affect the ability to effect a change of control of Sunshine or another savings and loan holding company. Sunshine’s acquisitions may be subject to regulatory approval. Sunshine may not receive regulatory approval for future acquisitions or, if received, such regulatory approval may not be timely. Changes in the number or scope of permissible activities under applicable law could have an adverse effect on Sunshine’s ability to implement its business strategy.
Furthermore, additional acquisitions in the future could pose numerous risks to Sunshine’s operations, including:
| • | | Sunshine may have difficulty integrating the purchased operations; |
| • | | Sunshine may incur substantial unanticipated integration costs; |
| • | | assimilating the acquired businesses may divert significant management attention and financial resources from Sunshine’s other operations and could disrupt Sunshine’s ongoing business; |
| • | | acquisitions could result in the loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired operations; |
| • | | Sunshine may have difficulty retaining or developing the acquired businesses’ customers; |
| • | | acquisitions could adversely affect Sunshine’s existing business relationships with customers; |
| • | | Sunshine may be unable to effectively compete in the markets serviced by the acquired bank; |
| • | | Sunshine may fail to realize the potential cost savings or other financial benefits and/or the strategic benefits of the acquisitions; and |
| • | | Sunshine may incur liabilities from the acquired businesses and Sunshine may not be successful in seeking indemnification for such liabilities or claims. |
34
In connection with these acquisitions or investments, Sunshine could incur debt, amortization expenses related to intangible assets or large and immediate write-offs, assume liabilities, or issue stock that would dilute current stockholders’ percentage of ownership. Sunshine may not be able to complete acquisitions or integrate the operations, products or personnel gained through any such acquisition without a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
If Sunshine’s allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, Sunshine’s earnings and capital could decrease.
Lending is inherently risky and Sunshine is exposed to the risk that its borrowers may default on their obligations. A borrower’s default on its obligations may result in lost principal and interest income and increased operating expenses as a result of the allocation of management’s time and resources to the collection and work-out of the loan. In certain situations, where collection efforts are unsuccessful or acceptable work-out arrangements cannot be reached, Sunshine may have to charge-off the loan in whole or in part. In such situations, Sunshine may acquire real estate or other assets, if any, that secure the loan through foreclosure or other similar available remedies, and the amount owed under the defaulted loan may exceed the value of the assets acquired.
Sunshine makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for many of its loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, Sunshine reviews its loans and loss and delinquency experience, and evaluates other factors including, among other things, current economic conditions. If Sunshine’s assumptions are incorrect, or if delinquencies or non-performing loans increase, Sunshine’s allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in its loan portfolio, which would require additions to the allowance, which could materially decrease net income.
In addition, bank regulators periodically review Sunshine’s allowance for loan losses and, based on their judgments and information available to them at the time of their review, may require Sunshine to increase its allowance for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. An increase in Sunshine’s allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities may reduce Sunshine’s net income and capital, which may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
If Sunshine’s nonperforming assets increase, earnings will be adversely affected.
At June 30, 2016, Sunshine’s nonperforming assets, which consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, were approximately $1.3 million, or 0.26% of total assets. Sunshine’s nonperforming assets adversely affect net income in various ways:
| • | | Sunshine records interest income only on the cash basis or cost-recovery method for non-accrual loans and does not record interest income for other real estate owned; |
| • | | Sunshine must provide for probable loan losses through a current period charge to the provision for loan losses; |
| • | | there are legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets, as well as carrying costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance fees; and |
| • | | the resolution of nonperforming assets requires the active involvement of management, which can distract them from more profitable activity. |
If additional borrowers become delinquent and do not pay their loans and Sunshine is unable to successfully manage its nonperforming assets, its losses and troubled assets could increase significantly, which could have a material adverse effect on Sunshine’s financial condition and results of operations.

Sunshine’s small size makes it more difficult to compete.
Sunshine’s small asset size makes it more difficult to compete with other financial institutions which are generally larger and can more easily afford to invest in the marketing and technologies needed to attract and retain customers. Because Sunshine’s principal source of income is the net interest income earned on loans and investments after deducting interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds, Sunshine’s ability to generate the revenues needed to cover its expenses and finance such investments is limited by the size of its loan and investment portfolios. In addition, Sunshine’s smaller customer base makes it difficult to generate meaningful noninterest income. Finally, as a smaller institution, Sunshine is disproportionately affected by the ongoing increased costs of compliance with banking and other regulations.
Strong competition within Sunshine’s market area may limit its growth and profitability.
Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In Sunshine’s market area, it competes with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Some of Sunshine’s competitors have greater name recognition and market presence that may benefit them in attracting business, and offer certain services that Sunshine does not or cannot provide. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than Sunshine does, which could affect Sunshine’s ability to grow and remain profitable on a long-term basis. Sunshine’s profitability depends upon its continued ability to successfully compete in its market area. If Sunshine must raise interest rates paid on deposits or lower interest rates charged on loans, Sunshine’s net interest margin and profitability could be adversely affected.
The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of new legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued industry consolidation. Banks, securities firms and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of Sunshine’s competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services than Sunshine can as well as better pricing for those products and services.
Sunshine has more limited resources than many of its competitors to invest in technology.
Sunshine’s industry is experiencing rapid technological change. These new technologies are often designed to provide better customer service as well as cost reduction. Sunshine’s future success depends, in part, on its ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to enhance customer convenience while operating more efficiently. Many of Sunshine’s competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. If Sunshine is unable to effectively implement new technological developments on pace with its competitors, its competitive position may be harmed.
The occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches of information security or cybersecurity-related incidents could have a material adverse effect on Sunshine’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Information technology systems are critical to Sunshine’s business. Sunshine uses various technology systems to manage customer relationships, general ledger, securities, deposits, and loans. As a financial institution, Sunshine is susceptible to fraudulent activity, information security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents that may be committed against Sunshine or its clients, which may result in financial losses or increased costs to Sunshine or its clients, disclosure or misuse of Sunshine’s information or Sunshine’s clients’ information, misappropriation of assets, privacy breaches against Sunshine’s clients, litigation, or damage to Sunshine’s reputation.
36
Such fraudulent activity may take many forms, including check fraud, electronic fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering and other dishonest acts. Information security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents may include fraudulent or unauthorized access to systems used by Sunshine or its clients, denial or degradation of service attacks, and malware or other cyberattacks. In recent periods, there continues to be a rise in electronic fraudulent activity, security breaches and cyber-attacks within the financial services industry, especially in the commercial banking sector due to cyber criminals targeting commercial bank accounts. Consistent with industry trends, Sunshine has also experienced an increase in attempted electronic fraudulent activity, security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents in recent periods. Moreover, in the past year, several large corporations, including retail companies, have suffered major data breaches, where in some cases, exposing sensitive financial and other personal information of their clients and subjecting them to potential fraudulent activity. Some of Sunshine’s clients may have been affected by these breaches, which increase their risks of identity theft, credit card fraud and other fraudulent activity that could involve their accounts with Sunshine Bank.
Information pertaining to Sunshine and its clients is maintained, and transactions are executed, on Sunshine’s networks and systems, those of Sunshine’s clients and certain of Sunshine’s third party partners, such as its online banking or reporting systems. The secure maintenance and transmission of confidential information, as well as execution of transactions over these systems, are essential to protect Sunshine and its clients against fraud and security breaches and to maintain Sunshine’s clients’ confidence. Increases in criminal activity levels and sophistication, advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries, vulnerabilities in third-party technologies (including browsers and operating systems) or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology, processes and controls that Sunshine uses to prevent fraudulent transactions and to protect data about Sunshine, its clients and underlying transactions, as well as the technology used by Sunshine’s clients to access Sunshine’s systems. Although Sunshine has developed, and continues to invest in, systems and processes that are designed to detect and prevent security breaches and cyber-attacks and periodically test its security, the inability to anticipate, or failure to adequately mitigate, breaches of security could result in: losses to Sunshine or its clients; Sunshine’s loss of business and/or clients; damage to Sunshine’s reputation; the incurrence of additional expenses; disruption to Sunshine’s business, and/or Sunshine’s ability to grow its online services or other businesses; additional regulatory scrutiny or penalties; or exposure to civil litigation or possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Sunshine’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
More generally, publicized information concerning security and cyber-related problems could inhibit the use or growth of electronic or web-based applications or solutions as a means of conducting commercial transactions. Such publicity may also cause damage to Sunshine’s reputation as a financial institution. As a result, Sunshine’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Sunshine may be adversely affected by disruptions to its network and computer systems or to those of its service providers as a result of denial-of-service or other cyber-attacks.
Sunshine may experience disruptions or failures in its computer systems and network infrastructure or in those of its service providers as a result of coordinated denial-of-service or other cyber-attacks in the future. Due to the increasing sophistication of such attacks, Sunshine may not be able to prevent denial-of-service or other cyber-attacks that could compromise its normal business operations, compromise the normal business operations of its clients, or result in the unauthorized use of clients’ confidential and proprietary information. The occurrence of any failure, interruption or security breach of network and computer systems resulting from denial-of-service or other cyber-attacks could damage Sunshine’s reputation, result in a loss of client business, subject Sunshine to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose Sunshine to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could adversely affect Sunshine’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
37
Sunshine depends on its management team to implement its business strategy and execute successful operations and Sunshine could be harmed by the loss of their services.
Sunshine depends upon the services of the members of its senior management team to implement its business strategy and execute its operations. Accordingly, Sunshine’s success and future growth depend upon the continued success of Sunshine’s management team, in particular its Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Samuel, and other key employees. Members of Sunshine’s senior management team and lending personnel who have expertise and key business relationships in Sunshine’s markets could be difficult to replace. The loss of these persons or Sunshine’s inability to hire additional qualified personnel, could impact Sunshine’s ability to implement its business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and its ability to compete.
Changes in accounting standards could affect reported earnings.
The bodies responsible for establishing or interpreting accounting standards, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting guidance that governs the preparation of Sunshine’s consolidated financial statements. These changes may be hard to predict and may materially impact how Sunshine records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, Sunshine could be required to apply new or revised guidance retroactively.
Sunshine is a community bank and its ability to maintain its reputation is critical to the success of its business and the failure to do so may materially adversely affect Sunshine’s performance.
Sunshine is a community bank and its reputation is one of its most valuable assets. A key component of Sunshine’s business strategy is to rely on its reputation for customer service and knowledge of local markets to expand its presence by capturing new business opportunities from existing and prospective customers in its market area and contiguous areas. As such, Sunshine strives to conduct business in a manner that enhances its reputation. This is done, in part, by recruiting, hiring and retaining employees who share Sunshine’s core values of being an integral part of the communities it serves, delivering superior service to, and caring about, customers. If Sunshine’s reputation is negatively affected by the actions of its employees, by Sunshine’s inability to conduct its operations in a manner that is appealing to current or prospective customers, or otherwise, Sunshine’s business and operating results may be materially adversely affected.
Sunshine faces reputation and business risks due to its interactions with business partners, service providers and other third parties.
Sunshine relies on third parties in a variety of ways, including to provide key components of its business infrastructure or to further its business objectives. These third parties may provide services to Sunshine and its clients or serve as partners in business activities. Sunshine relies on these third parties to fulfill its obligations, to accurately inform Sunshine of relevant information and to conduct Sunshine’s activities professionally and in a manner that reflects positively on Sunshine. Any failure of these business partners, service providers or other third parties to meet their commitments to Sunshine or to perform in accordance with Sunshine’s expectations could result in operational issues, increased expenditures, and damage to Sunshine’s reputation or loss of clients, which could harm Sunshine’s business and operations, financial performance, strategic growth and reputation.
In recent years regulators have increased scrutiny of financial institutions’ relationships with third parties. If Sunshine’s activities, policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient or inappropriate, or those of third parties with whom Sunshine has a relationship are deemed deficient or inappropriate, Sunshine could be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on Sunshine’s permitted activities.
38
In particular, Sunshine receives core systems processing, essential web hosting and other Internet systems, deposit processing, wire processing and other processing services from third-party service providers. If these third-party service providers experience difficulties or terminate their services and Sunshine is unable to replace them with other service providers, Sunshine’s operations could be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, Sunshine’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected, perhaps materially. Even if Sunshine were able to replace them, it may be at higher cost, which could adversely affect Sunshine’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Sunshine’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected by hurricanes or other adverse weather events, terrorist activities or by international hostilities.
Neither the occurrence nor the potential impact of natural disasters, terrorist activities and international hostilities can be predicted. Sunshine’s market area is susceptible to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, other severe weather events and related flooding and wind damage. These natural disasters could negatively impact regional economic conditions, disrupt operations, cause a decline in the value or destruction of mortgaged properties and an increase in the risk of delinquencies, foreclosures or loss on loans originated by Sunshine, damage Sunshine’s banking facilities and offices, result in a decline in local loan demand and Sunshine’s loan originations and negatively impact Sunshine’s growth strategy. Sunshine could also suffer adverse consequences to the extent that natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities affect the financial markets or the economy in general or in a particular region. Sunshine cannot predict whether or to what extent future natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities will affect its operations or the economies in its current or future market areas. Sunshine’s business or results of operations may be adversely affected by these and other negative effects of natural disasters.
Liquidity risk could impair Sunshine’s ability to fund operations and jeopardize its financial condition.
Liquidity is essential to Sunshine. Sunshine requires sufficient liquidity to meet its expected financial obligations, as well as unexpected requirements stemming from client activity and market changes.
Sunshine manages liquidity using several liquidity key risk indicators measured at Sunshine Bank. The key risk indicators include, but are not limited to, the loan to deposit ratio, the ratio of brokered deposits to total deposits, and the ratio of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to total assets. As of June 30, 2016, these ratios were 94.8%, 9.5%, and 5.8%, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had outstanding advances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) of $30.0 million. The FHLB advance is secured by a blanket lien on loans with a remaining credit availability of approximately $53.2 million, collateralized by residential and commercial real estate loans.
An inability to maintain or raise funds through these sources could have a substantial negative effect on Sunshine. Access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance Sunshine’s activities, or on attractive terms, could be impaired by factors that affect Sunshine specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact Sunshine’s access to liquidity sources include an increase in costs of capital in financial capital markets, a decrease in the level of Sunshine’s business activity due to a market downturn or adverse regulatory action against Sunshine, or a decrease in depositor or investor confidence. Sunshine’s ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to Sunshine, such as a severe volatility or disruption of financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole. Any failure to manage Sunshine’s liquidity effectively could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
Sunshine is subject to environmental liability risk associated with its lending activities.
A significant portion of Sunshine’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, Sunshine may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk
39
that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, Sunshine may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require Sunshine to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit Sunshine’s ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations of enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase Sunshine’s exposure to environmental liability. Although Sunshine has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on Sunshine’s future business, results of operations, financial condition and the value of its common stock.
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect Sunshine.
Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. Sunshine routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, payment processors, and other institutional clients, which may result in payment or delivery obligations to Sunshine or to its clients due to products arranged by Sunshine. Many of these transactions expose Sunshine to credit, market and execution risk as a result of possible counterparty or client default. In addition, Sunshine Bank is exposed to market risk when the collateral it holds cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the secured obligation. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect Sunshine’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Sunshine’s internal control systems could fail to detect certain events.
Sunshine is subject to operational risks, including, but not limited to, data processing system failures and errors and client or employee fraud. Sunshine maintains a system of internal controls designed to mitigate against such occurrences and maintain insurance coverage for such risks. However, should such an event occur that is not prevented or detected by internal controls, uninsured or in excess of applicable insurance limits, it could have a significant adverse effect on Sunshine’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Sunshine’s Regulatory Environment
Financial reform legislation will result in new laws and regulations that are expected to increase Sunshine’s cost of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act has significantly changed the bank regulatory framework. For example, it has: created an independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) that has assumed the consumer protection responsibilities of the various federal banking agencies, established more stringent capital standards for depository institutions and their holding companies and made the Federal Reserve Board the primary federal banking regulator for savings and loan holding companies. The legislation has also resulted in new regulations affecting the lending, funding, trading and investment activities of depository institutions and their holding companies. The CFPB has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as Sunshine Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. Banks and savings institutions with $10.0 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined by their applicable bank regulators. The new legislation also weakens the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings and loan associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws. Bank regulatory agencies also have been responding aggressively to concerns and adverse trends identified in examinations. Ongoing uncertainty and adverse developments in the financial services industry and in the domestic and international credit markets, and the effect of new legislation and regulatory actions in response to these conditions, may adversely affect the
40
operations of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank by restricting their business activities, including their ability to originate or sell loans, modify loan terms, or foreclose on property securing loans.
The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the business of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank will not be known until all of the regulations implementing the statute are adopted and implemented. As a result, Sunshine cannot at this time predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act will impact the business, operations or financial condition of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank. For example, the CFPB has the power to adopt new regulations to protect consumers and exercise control over existing consumer protection regulations adopted by federal banking regulators. The Volcker Rule, a component of the Dodd-Frank Act, generally prohibits Sunshine and Sunshine Bank from engaging in proprietary trading and having ownership interests in, or acting as sponsors to, certain hedge funds and private equity funds, activities that, in prior regulatory regimes, might have generated higher returns on capital. However, compliance with these new laws and regulations may require Sunshine or Sunshine Bank to make changes to its business and operations and will likely result in additional costs and divert management’s time from other business activities, any of which may adversely impact the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank.
Sunshine recently became subject to more stringent capital requirements, which may adversely impact its return on equity, require it to raise additional capital, or constrain it from paying dividends or repurchasing shares.
In 2013, the OCC adopted final rules to update the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to Sunshine and Sunshine Bank. The final rule implements the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule applies to all depository institutions, and top-tier bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies, though holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $1 billion may opt to use the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement standards instead. After the merger, Sunshine will be close to exceeding that $1 billion threshold.
The final rule includes minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which became effective for Sunshine Bank on January 1, 2015, and refined the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating these ratios. The minimum capital requirements under the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms are as follows: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from prior rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The final rule also establishes a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5%, which will result in the following effective minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. Based on a pro forma analysis after giving effect to the merger, Sunshine projects to exceed the foregoing ratios upon consummation of the merger. The new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution is subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that can be utilized for such actions. The rule also assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised.
The application of these more stringent capital requirements for Sunshine or Sunshine Bank, or others in the future, could, among other things, result in lower returns on equity, require raising of additional capital, and result in regulatory actions constraining Sunshine or Sunshine Bank from paying dividends or repurchasing shares if it was unable to comply with such requirements. Furthermore, the imposition of liquidity requirements in connection with the implementation of Basel III could result in Sunshine or Sunshine Bank having to lengthen the term of its funding, restructure its business models, including changing the prices offered to customers, and/
41
or increase its holdings of liquid assets, which liquid assets typically have low yields. Implementation of changes to asset risk weightings for risk based capital calculations, items included or deducted in calculating regulatory capital and/or additional capital conservation buffers could result in management modifying its business strategy, and could limit our ability to make distributions, including paying out dividends or buying back shares. Specifically, our ability to pay dividends will be limited if we do not have the capital conservation buffer required by the new capital rules, which may limit our ability to pay dividends to stockholders.
Sunshine operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.
Sunshine and Sunshine Bank are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and, to a lesser extent, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Such regulators govern the activities in which Sunshine and Sunshine Bank may engage, primarily for the protection of depositors. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of a financial institution, the classification of assets by a financial institution, and the adequacy of a financial institution’s allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or their application to Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank could have a material impact on Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank and their operations. Because the business of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank is highly regulated, the laws, rules and applicable regulations are subject to regular modification and change. Laws, rules and regulations may be adopted in the future that could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect the business, financial condition or prospects of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank.
Banking agencies periodically conduct examinations of Sunshine’s business, including compliance with laws and regulations, and failure to comply with any supervisory actions to which Sunshine becomes subject as a result of such examinations could materially and adversely affect Sunshine.
Federal banking agencies periodically conduct examinations of the business of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank, including compliance with laws and regulations. Accommodating such examinations may require management to reallocate resources, which would otherwise be used in the day-to-day operation of other aspects of the business of Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank. If, as a result of an examination, a federal banking agency were to determine that the financial condition, capital resources, allowance for loan and lease losses, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of the operations of Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank had become unsatisfactory, or that Sunshine or Sunshine Bank or the management of either was in violation of any law or regulation, it may take a number of different remedial actions as it deems appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative actions to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in the capital of Sunshine or Sunshine Bank, to restrict the growth of Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank, to assess civil monetary penalties against Sunshine or Sunshine Bank and their officers, directors or principal shareholders, to remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate Sunshine Bank’s deposit insurance. If Sunshine or Sunshine Bank becomes subject to such regulatory actions, Sunshine could be materially and adversely affected.
Florida financial institutions face a higher risk of noncompliance and enforcement actions with respect to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.
Like all U.S. financial institutions, Sunshine Bank is subject to monitoring requirements under federal law, including anti-money laundering, or AML, and Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA, matters. Since September 11, 2001, banking regulators have intensified their focus on AML and BSA compliance requirements, particularly the AML provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the USA PATRIOT Act. There is also increased scrutiny of
42
compliance with the rules enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Moreover, Sunshine Bank operates in areas designated as High Intensity Financial Crime Areas and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas. Federal banking regulators and examiners have been extremely aggressive in their supervision and examination of financial institutions located in the State of Florida with respect to institutions’ BSA and AML compliance. Consequently, a number of formal enforcement actions have been issued against Florida financial institutions. Although Sunshine Bank has adopted policies, procedures and controls to comply with the BSA and other AML statutes and regulations, this aggressive supervision and examination and increased likelihood of enforcement actions may increase operating costs, which could negatively affect the results of operation and reputation of Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank.
Sunshine Bank is subject to federal and state fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to material penalties.
Federal and state fair lending laws and regulations, such as the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act, impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial institutions. The Department of Justice, CFPB and other federal and state agencies are responsible for enforcing these laws and regulations. Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution’s performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation. A successful challenge to Sunshine Bank’s performance under the fair lending laws and regulations could adversely impact its rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, and result in a wide variety of sanctions, including the required payment of damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief and imposition of restrictions on merger and acquisition activity and restrictions on expansion activity, which could negatively impact the reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations of Sunshine and/or Sunshine Bank.
Risks Related to Sunshine’s Common Stock
Certain provisions of Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and state and federal law could prevent or impede the ability of stockholders to obtain representation on Sunshine’s board of directors, and may discourage hostile acquisitions of control of Sunshine, which could negatively affect Sunshine’s stock value.
Certain provisions in Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage attempts to acquire Sunshine, pursue a proxy contest for control of Sunshine, assume control of Sunshine by a holder of a large block of common stock, or remove Sunshine’s management, all of which stockholders might think are in their best interests. These provisions include:
| • | | restrictive requirements regarding eligibility for service on the board of directors, age requirements, a prohibition on service by persons who are or have been the subject of certain legal or regulatory proceedings, a prohibition on service by persons who are party to agreements that may affect their voting discretion, and a prohibition on service by nominees or representatives (as defined in applicable Federal Reserve Board regulations) of another person who would not be eligible for service or of an entity the partners or controlling persons of which would not be eligible for service; |
| • | | the election of directors to staggered terms of three years; |
| • | | provisions requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations; |
| • | | a limitation on voting rights of persons who directly or indirectly beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock; |
| • | | a prohibition on cumulative voting; |
| • | | a requirement that the calling of a special meeting by stockholders requires the request of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting; |
| • | | a requirement that directors may only be removed for cause and by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast; |
43
| • | | the ability of the board of directors to fill vacancies on the board; |
| • | | the board of directors’ ability to cause Sunshine to issue preferred stock; |
| • | | the ability of the board of directors to amend and repeal the bylaws and the required stockholder vote to amend or repeal the bylaws; |
| • | | the ability of the board of directors to consider a variety of factors in evaluating offers to purchase or acquire Sunshine; and |
| • | | the requirement of the vote of 80% of the votes entitled to be cast in order to amend certain provisions of the articles of incorporation, including those set forth above. |
Federal regulations prohibit for three years following the completion of a mutual-to-stock conversion, the offer to acquire or the acquisition of more than 10% of any class of equity security of Sunshine Bank or Sunshine without prior regulatory approval. In addition, the business corporation law of Maryland, the state where the Company is incorporated, provides for certain restrictions on acquisition of Sunshine.
A significant percentage of Sunshine’s common stock is held or controlled by its directors and executive officers and benefit plans.
Sunshine’s board of directors and executive officers collectively own approximately 7.4% and Sunshine’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) owns approximately 6.4% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine’s common stock. The ownership by executive officers, directors and the ESOP could result in actions being taken that are not in accordance with other stockholders’ wishes, and could prevent any action requiring a supermajority vote under Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws (including the amendment of certain protective provisions of Sunshine’s articles and bylaws discussed immediately above).
Sunshine has the ability to incur debt and pledge its assets, including its stock in Sunshine Bank, to secure that debt.
Sunshine has the ability to incur debt and pledge its assets to secure that debt. Absent special and unusual circumstances, a holder of indebtedness for borrowed money has rights that are superior to those of holders of common stock. For example, interest must be paid to the lender before dividends can be paid to the stockholders, and loans must be paid off before any assets can be distributed to stockholders if Sunshine was to liquidate. Furthermore, Sunshine would have to make principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, which could reduce its profitability or result in net losses on a consolidated basis even if Sunshine Bank were profitable.
Sunshine is an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Sunshine decides to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, Sunshine’s common stock could be less attractive to investors.
Since its initial public offering in 2014, Sunshine has been an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the JOBS Act. As a result, Sunshine is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure about executive compensation and omission of compensation discussion and analysis, and an exemption from the requirement of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. In addition, Sunshine will not be subject to certain requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, including the additional level of review of internal control over financial reporting that may occur when outside auditors attest to Sunshine’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result, Sunshine stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
Sunshine could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which Sunshine’s annual gross revenues exceed $1.0 billion, (b) the date that
44
Sunshine becomes a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which would occur if the market value of Sunshine’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (c) the date on which Sunshine has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. Taking advantage of any of these exemptions may adversely affect the value and trading price of Sunshine’s common stock.
Sunshine has elected to delay the adoption of new and revised accounting pronouncements, which means that its financial statements may not be comparable to those of other public companies.
As an “emerging growth company,” Sunshine has elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, Sunshine’s financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

| • | | you may send a written notice which is received prior to the special meeting that you are revoking your proxy to: Sunshine Bancorp, Inc., 102 West Baker Street, Plant City, Florida 33563, Attention: Secretary; or |
| • | | you may attend the special meeting and notify the election officials that you wish to revoke your proxy and vote in person. However, your attendance at the special meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. |
If your shares are held by your broker in “street name,” you should follow the instructions you receive from your broker in order to direct your broker how to vote and you should also follow the instructions of your broker regarding revocation of proxies.
All shares represented by valid proxies that are not revoked will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. If you sign your proxy card, but make no specification on the card as to how you want your shares voted, your proxy card will be voted “FOR” approval of the Sunshine merger proposal, “FOR” approval of the Equity Plan amendment proposal and “FOR” approval of the Sunshine adjournment proposal. The board of directors is presently unaware of any other matter that may be presented for action at the special meeting of stockholders. If any other matter does properly come before the special meeting, the Sunshine board of directors intends that shares represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted, or not voted, by and at the discretion of the persons named as proxies on the proxy card.
Solicitation of Proxies
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by Sunshine. Sunshine will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of common stock. In addition to solicitations by mail, directors, officers and regular employees of Sunshine may solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional compensation.

Record Date
The close of business on August 18, 2016 has been fixed as the record date for determining the Sunshine stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. At that time, 5,261,794 shares of Sunshine common stock were outstanding.
Voting Rights, Quorum Requirements and Vote Required
The presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of Sunshine is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting of stockholders. Abstentions will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.
Approval of the Sunshine merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of Sunshine common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of the vote on the Sunshine merger proposal, a failure to vote, a failure to instruct your banker, broker or other nominee how to vote and a vote marked “ABSTAIN” will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal, although abstentions will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Approval of the Equity Plan amendment proposal and the Sunshine adjournment proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Sunshine common stock represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals, whether or not a quorum is present. If you fail to submit a proxy or vote in person at the Sunshine special meeting or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to the Equity Plan amendment proposal and/or the adjournment proposal, it will have no effect on such proposals.
In accordance with the provisions of Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, record holders of common stock who beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock (the “Limit”) are not entitled to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the Limit. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation authorize its board of directors (i) to make all determinations necessary to implement and apply the Limit, including determining whether persons or entities are acting in concert, and (ii) to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own stock in excess of the Limit supply information to Sunshine to enable its board of directors to implement and apply the Limit.
Each director and executive officer of Sunshine have entered into voting agreements, the form of which is attached as Appendix C to this document, with FBC agreeing to, among other things, vote their shares of Sunshine common stock in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and restricting the transfer of the individual’s shares of Sunshine common stock during the period between signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger. As of the Sunshine record date, Sunshine directors, executive officers and their affiliates held approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock entitled to vote at the Sunshine special meeting.
Sunshine Merger Proposal
As discussed throughout this document, Sunshine is asking its stockholders to approve the Sunshine merger proposal. Holders of Sunshine common stock should read carefully this document in its entirety, including the appendices, for more detailed information concerning the Sunshine merger proposal, the merger agreement and the merger. In particular, holders of Sunshine common stock are directed to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this document and incorporated in this document by reference.
The Sunshine board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger and the Sunshine share issuance, are fair and in the best interests of Sunshine and its stockholders, and has approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.
The Sunshine board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the Sunshine merger proposal.
47
Sunshine Equity Plan Amendment Proposal
Sunshine’s board of directors recommends the amendment of its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to (i) increase the total number of shares of Sunshine’s common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan from 592,480 shares to 742,480 shares; (ii) remove the cap on the aggregate number of options and restricted stock awards that can be made under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (subject to the cap on the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan); (iii) update and increase the annual award limitations for non-employee directors on an individual and aggregate basis; and (iv) permit the assumption of awards and subsequent issuance of replacement awards by Sunshine in connection with any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of property or stock. Shares underlying replacement awards (i.e., awards granted as replacements for awards granted by a company that Sunshine subsequently acquires or with which Sunshine combines, including FBC) would not reduce the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.
Sunshine’s board of directors has determined that the amendment, including the increase in the total number of shares available for issuance and the corresponding increase in the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, is beneficial to Sunshine and its stockholders. In connection with the overall increase, Sunshine’s board of directors believes that it would be beneficial to simplify and consolidate the various limitations on issuances of types of award, although the board of directors anticipates that restricted stock and restricted stock units will be granted sparingly, even in the absence of a cap on such types of awards. The increase in the annual limits for awards to the non-employee directors (both on an individual and aggregate basis) reflects the overall increase in the total shares reserved under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the expansion of Sunshine’s board of directors in connection with the consummation of the merger with FBC. Sunshine’s board of directors believes these changes are necessary to assume the FBC options and issue Sunshine options upon completion of the merger to those individuals who currently hold options to purchase shares of FBC common stock, as provided for in the merger agreement, as well as to give Sunshine the flexibility it needs to attract new employees as Sunshine continues to grow and to have the ability to continue to reward employees with such incentive compensation, and encourage such valued employees to acquire a proprietary interest in Sunshine and to remain in its employ and service.
Holders of Sunshine common stock should read carefully the section entitled “Equity Plan Amendment Proposal—Amendment of Sunshine’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan,” for more detailed information regarding the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the proposed amendments.
Sunshine’s board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the Sunshine Equity Plan amendment proposal.
Sunshine Adjournment Proposal
The Sunshine special meeting may be adjourned to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to permit, among other things, the solicitation of additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Sunshine special meeting to approve the Sunshine merger proposal.
If, at the Sunshine special meeting, the number of shares of Sunshine common stock present or represented and voting in favor of the Sunshine share issuance proposal is insufficient to approve the Sunshine merger proposal, Sunshine intends to move to adjourn the Sunshine special meeting in order to enable the Sunshine board of directors to solicit additional proxies for approval of the Sunshine merger proposal. In that event, Sunshine will ask the Sunshine stockholders to vote only upon the Sunshine adjournment proposal and not the Sunshine merger proposal.
In the Sunshine adjournment proposal, Sunshine is asking the Sunshine stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Sunshine board of directors to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to
48
the board of directors to adjourn the Sunshine special meeting to another time and place for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. If the Sunshine stockholders approve the Sunshine adjournment proposal, Sunshine could adjourn the Sunshine special meeting and any adjourned session of the Sunshine special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from Sunshine stockholders who have previously voted.
The Sunshine board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the Sunshine adjournment proposal.
Other Matters to Come Before the Sunshine Special Meeting
No other matters are intended to be brought before the Sunshine special meeting by Sunshine, and Sunshine does not know of any matters to be brought before the Sunshine special meeting by others. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Sunshine special meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on any such matter.

FBC BANCORP, INC.
SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
FBC is mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to you, as a FBC shareholder, on or about September 6, 2016. With this document, FBC is sending you a notice of the FBC special meeting of shareholders and a form of proxy that is solicited by the FBC board of directors. The special meeting will be held on September 29, 2016 at 8:00 a.m., local time, at FBC’s office located at 105 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida 32802.
Matters to be Considered
At the FBC special meeting, FBC shareholders will be asked to:
| • | | the FBC merger proposal; and |
| • | | approve the FBC adjournment proposal. |
Proxy Card, Revocation of Proxy
You should complete and return the proxy card accompanying this document to ensure that your vote is counted at the FBC special meeting, regardless of whether you plan to attend. If you are a record holder you can revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the special meeting by:
| • | | submitting written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of FBC at 105 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida 32802; |
| • | | submitting a properly executed proxy bearing a later date before the FBC special meeting of shareholders; or |
| • | | voting in person at the special meeting of shareholders. However, simply attending the special meeting without voting will not revoke an earlier proxy. |
If your shares are held by your broker in “street name,” you should follow the instructions you receive from your broker in order to direct your broker how to vote and you should also follow the instructions of your broker regarding revocation of proxies.
All shares represented by valid proxies that are not revoked will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. If you sign your proxy card, but make no specification on the card as to how you want your shares voted, your proxy card will be voted “FOR” approval of the FBC merger proposal and “FOR” approval of the FBC adjournment proposal. The FBC board of directors is presently unaware of any other matter that may be presented for action at the special meeting of shareholders. If any other matter does properly come before the special meeting, the FBC board of directors intends that shares represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted, or not voted, by and at the discretion of the persons named as proxies on the proxy card.
Solicitation of Proxies
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by FBC. FBC will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of common stock. In addition to solicitations by mail, directors, officers and regular employees of FBC may solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional compensation.
Record Date
The close of business on August 18, 2016 has been fixed as the record date for determining the FBC shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the FBC special meeting of shareholders. At that time, 3,096,824 shares of FBC common stock were outstanding.
50
Voting Rights, Quorum Requirements and Vote Required
The presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of FBC is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting of shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.
Approval of the FBC merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of FBC common stock. Because the required vote is based upon the outstanding shares of FBC common stock,a failure to vote or a vote to “ABSTAIN” will have the same effect as a vote against the merger.
The FBC adjournment proposal will be approved if the votes cast for that proposal by the holders of FBC common stock exceed the votes cast against such proposal by the holders of FBC common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the FBC adjournment proposal.
Each FBC director and executive officer have entered into voting agreements, the form of which is attached as Appendix B to this document, with Sunshine agreeing to, among other things, vote their shares of FBC common stock in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (subject to certain exceptions) and restricting the transfer of the individual’s shares of FBC common stock during the period between signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger. As of the FBC record date, FBC directors (including directors of FBC Bank), executive officers and their affiliates held approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of FBC common stock entitled to vote at the FBC special meeting.
FBC Merger Proposal
As discussed throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, FBC is asking its shareholders to approve the FBC merger proposal. Holders of FBC common stock should read carefully this document in its entirety, including the appendices, for more detailed information concerning the merger agreement and the merger. In particular, holders of FBC common stock are directed to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein by reference.
The FBC board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair and in the best interests of FBC and its shareholders, and has approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
The FBC board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the FBC merger proposal.
FBC Adjournment Proposal
The FBC special meeting may be adjourned to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to permit, among other things, the solicitation of additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the FBC special meeting to approve the FBC merger proposal.
If, at the FBC special meeting, the number of shares of FBC common stock present or represented and voting in favor of the FBC merger proposal is insufficient to approve the FBC merger proposal, FBC intends to move to adjourn the FBC special meeting in order to enable the FBC board of directors to solicit additional proxies for approval of the FBC merger proposal. In that event, FBC will ask the FBC shareholders to vote only upon the FBC adjournment proposal and not the FBC merger proposal.
In the FBC adjournment proposal, FBC is asking the FBC shareholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the FBC board of directors to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to the FBC board of directors to adjourn the FBC special meeting to another time and place for the purpose of soliciting additional
51
proxies. If the FBC shareholders approve the FBC adjournment proposal, FBC could adjourn the FBC special meeting and any adjourned session of the FBC special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from FBC shareholders who have previously voted.

THE MERGER
Background of the Merger
FBC’s board of directors and senior management regularly reviewed and assessed FBC’s business strategies and objectives, including strategic opportunities for the potential of business combinations, all with the goal of enhancing value for FBC shareholders. The strategic discussions have focused on, among other things, the evaluation of potential buyers and partners, the need to grow the asset base of FBC to leverage operating performance and improve the investor return of FBC shareholders, and an evaluation of the economic and regulatory environment facing financial institutions and FBC Bank.
In 2012, FBC’s board of directors formed a Strategic Opportunities Committee (the “SOC”) for the purpose of considering and evaluating action to the full board of directors on any strategic transactions that might arise in the future. The members of the SOC were selected based on their respective business backgrounds, familiarity with the industry, and prior experience in buying and selling companies. Its members were: Chairperson of FBC (initially, R. Van Bogen, and later Malcom Kirschenbaum), Bjornar Hermansen, Dana Kilborne, William Orosz, Jim Swann, and John Reich. The Committee met on an as needed basis. Over the ensuing years, the SOC, together with FBC’s directors, evaluated several strategic opportunities for FBC and had discussions with a number of financial institutions regarding potential combination transactions, although none of the discussions resulted in the entry of any definitive agreement. The FBC board of directors and SOC also had a number of discussions during the past several years which included representatives from Raymond James as well as FBC’s legal counsel.
Since its demutalization and the 2015 acquisition of Community Southern Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Southern Bank, Sunshine has regularly considered strategic opportunities to increase stockholder value, including potential acquisitions of other Florida-based financial institutions.
On April 9, 2015, an FBC director, Joseph Nunziata, met with Andrew Samuel, Sunshine’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Janak Amin, Sunshine’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, to discuss the Florida banking climate.
On October 4, 2015, Dana Kilborne, FBC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, met with Mr. Samuel in Tampa to discuss the Florida banking environment, continued consolidation in the Florida market and the need for scale in the current regulatory environment.
On November 13, 2015, Ms. Kilborne and Mr. Samuel met at Sunshine’s headquarters in Plant City, Florida to discuss the merits of a potential strategic partnership between the two organizations.
On November 20, 2015, FBC’s SOC met to discuss several opportunities, including Sunshine.
On December 4, 2015, Mr. Samuel and Ms. Kilborne met with Mr. Nunziata and Malcolm Kirschenbaum, FBC’s Chairman of the Board, to continue the discussion on the merits and possibilities of combining the two organizations.
On December 20, 2015, FBC directors met to consider a proposed revised letter of interest with another financial institution. The letter of interest was later declined by FBC.
On December 21, 2015, Mr. Samuel and Ms. Kilborne met in Plant City to introduce Ms. Kilborne to the following Sunshine executives: Mr. Amin, Jane Tompkins, Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer, and John Finley, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The meetings allowed both FBC and Sunshine to evaluate the specific cultural compatibility to a potential partnership.
53
On January 25, 2016, the SOC conferenced with representatives of Raymond James for a discussion of the potential opportunity with Sunshine.
On January 28, 2016, Mr. Samuel and Ms. Kilborne met in Orlando to discuss each party’s sincere interest in moving forward with the possibilities of a combination of the two organizations.
On February 16, 2016, Ms. Kilborne, Mr. Nunziata, Mr. Kirschenbaum and Jim Swann, an FBC director, met in Orlando with the following Sunshine directors: Mr. Samuel, Will Weatherford, D. William Morrow and W.D. McGinnes, Jr. The meeting was held to allow both parties to make introductions and further discuss the potential merits of a combination of the two companies.
On February 24, 2016, at a regularly scheduled board meeting, Sunshine’s board of directors discussed the potential FBC transaction and other strategic opportunities. The board approved the issuance of a Preliminary Letter of Interest to FBC and established a special committee of the board to negotiate any points that were unanticipated. The members of the special subcommittee were Rolly Rollyson, William Pommerening, Mr. McGinnes, Jr. and Mr. Samuel.
On February 29, 2016, Sunshine issued a Preliminary Letter of Interest to Ms. Kilborne. The nonbinding letter proposed an all-stock transaction in which Sunshine would acquire FBC based on a fixed purchase price of $11.43 per share of FBC common stock. Additionally, three members of the FBC board of directors would be offered seats on Sunshine’s and Sunshine Bank’s boards of directors after the transaction, and Ms. Kilborne would be hired to serve as the President and Chief Commercial Officer of Sunshine Bank after the transaction.
During the first two weeks of March, 2016, FBC representatives conferenced or met on several occasions with Raymond James representatives to consider the Preliminary Letter of Interest and to discuss potential pricing improvements.
On March 21, 2016, Mr. Samuel and Brent Smith, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development for Sunshine, met in Orlando with Ms. Kilborne and representatives from Raymond James. During the meeting, Raymond James reviewed a presentation that discussed the compelling nature of the proposed transaction and interest of FBC’s management and board in the transaction. Additionally, Raymond James presented financial assumptions to Mr. Samuel and Mr. Smith that recommended an increase in pricing from the originally submitted Letter of Interest.
On March 22, 2016, Mr. Samuel and Mr. Smith had a call with the Raymond James representatives to further discuss Sunshine’s interest in issuing an updated Letter of Interest.
On March 23, 2016 at a regularly scheduled board meeting, Sunshine’s board of directors was provided an update of negotiations, and the board discussed the potential FBC transaction and other strategic opportunities. During the first quarter of 2016, Sunshine’s board had been reviewing four other potential strategic acquisitions, and one of the potential acquisitions had progressed to the point that Sunshine was close to submitting a preliminary letter of interest with the target. Based on the discussions to-date with FBC, however, Sunshine’s board of directors authorized Mr. Samuel to proceed with an updated Preliminary Letter of Interest to FBC.
On March 24, 2016, Ms. Kilborne provided FBC’s SOC an update on the status of the discussions with Sunshine.
On March 25, 2016, the special subcommittee of the board: Messrs. Rollyson, McGinnes, Jr., Samuel and Pommerening, as well as Mr. Smith, discussed the details around the updated Preliminary Letter of Interest. The special committee unanimously approved the terms of the letter and authorized it to be issued immediately.
On March 25, 2016, Sunshine issued an updated Preliminary Letter of Interest to Ms. Kilborne. The letter proposed an all-stock transaction in which Sunshine would acquire FBC for a fixed exchange ratio, with
54
Sunshine to issue 0.927 shares of Sunshine common stock for each outstanding share of FBC common stock. In addition, the letter provided five members of the FBC board of directors would be offered seats on Sunshine’s and Sunshine Bank’s board of directors after the transaction, and Ms. Kilborne would be hired to serve as the President and Chief Commercial Officer of Sunshine Bank after the transaction. The letter was a non-binding indication of interest and contingent upon detailed due diligence.
On March 28, 2016, at a special board meeting, FBC’s directors met to consider the updated Preliminary Letter of Interest received from Sunshine. Representatives from Raymond James and Smith Mackinnon, PA, FBC’s legal counsel, were in attendance. Following a presentation by Raymond James and discussion and questions from both Raymond James and FBC counsel, FBC directors authorized Ms. Kilborne to sign the Preliminary Letter of Interest at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.927 shares of Sunshine common stock and five board seats and to sign a Mutual Confidentiality and Exclusivity Agreement. The FBC directors also authorized Ms. Kilborne to enter into an engagement letter with Raymond James to serve as financial advisor to FBC on terms authorized by the directors.
On March 30, 2016, Ms. Kilborne and Mr. Samuel executed a Mutual Confidentiality and Exclusivity Agreement and the Letter of Interest, with the Letter of Interest having an effective date of March 25, 2016. The exclusivity period contained in the executed documents were for an initial period of 60 days.
From March 31, 2016 to April 15, 2016, both parties conducted detailed onsite and electronic due diligence. Similar lists of due diligence items were exchanged between both parties. In addition, the parties began negotiating the terms of the agreement and plan of merger.
On April 15, 2016, the special committee of Sunshine’s board of directors held a telephonic meeting to discuss Sunshine’s findings during due diligence. The committee was updated on the variances found compared to assumptions used to update pricing and terms associated with the executed Preliminary Letter of Interest between the parties. The variances included an increase in one-time charges, a revised assumption as to cost savings, and a credit mark assumption. The special committee concluded that revised pricing was needed in order to continue discussions. The committee authorized Mr. Samuel to discuss these terms with Ms. Kilborne to determine the appropriate next steps.
On April 18, 2016, Messrs. Samuel and Smith met with Ms. Kilborne in Orlando to discuss their respective due diligence findings. Sunshine updated FBC on variances in assumptions used in calculating the proposed exchange ratio that was used in the executed Letter of Interest. The key variances related to adjusted assumptions in attainable cost savings, one-time merger related charges and purchase accounting marks. Sunshine verbally informed FBC that the exchange ratio would need to be adjusted downward to a new exchange ratio for Sunshine to remain interested in continuing conversations.
From April 18, 2016 until April 26, 2016, FBC and Sunshine continued due diligence, while negotiations of the merger agreement were put on hold until the pricing discussions were concluded.
On April 25, 2016, FBC directors met for an update on the discussions with Sunshine and a review of various assumptions impacting the initial pricing and relating to one-time charges and potential cost savings. Representatives from Raymond James were in attendance to provide insight as to these changes and the impact to price and the overall valuation for FBC shareholders.
On April 26, 2016, Messrs. Samuel and Weatherford met with Ms. Kilborne, Mr. Kirschenbaum, and Mr. Nunzieta in Orlando. During the meeting, the parties discussed their respective due diligence findings. FBC articulated certain concerns related to historical earnings trends and projected earnings of Sunshine. In turn, Sunshine provided FBC with an update on the variances in assumptions around one-time deal charges, cost savings and credit marks. In conclusion, Messrs. Samuel and Weatherford informed the FBC team that, to continue with negotiations of the agreement, the exchange ratio would need to be reduced.
55
From April 27, 2016 through April 29, 2016, Messrs. Nunziata and Samuel exchanged phone calls discussing the pricing adjustment. On April 29, 2016 Mr. Nunziata informed Mr. Samuel that FBC would be willing to proceed with negotiations of the definitive agreement at an exchange ratio of 0.88.
On April 28, 2016, FBC directors met to again discuss the pricing of the proposed Sunshine opportunity. Raymond James representatives were in attendance and FBC ultimately authorized Mr. Nunziata to negotiate a fixed exchange ratio of 0.9057 shares of Sunshine common stock but in no event less than 0.88 shares. Additional deal terms of the definitive agreement were also reviewed including a discussion about the commitment of Sunshine to a strategic partnership, as successful execution was deemed to be an integral part of the transaction.
On April 29, 2016, a meeting of Sunshine’s special committee was convened and they were updated on the proposed exchange ratio of 0.88. The committee unanimously authorized Messrs. Samuel and Mr. Smith to proceed with negotiations of the definitive agreement.
From April 29, 2016 to May 6, 2016, the parties completed their final due diligence and completed negotiations of the definitive agreement.
On May 6, 2016, Sunshine’s board of directors held a special meeting to discuss the pending transaction. The executive management team provided the board with a detailed update on findings and assumptions related to the teams due diligence of FBC. During the meeting representatives from Foley & Lardner LLP, Sunshine’s legal counsel, were present to review the details of the definitive agreement. In addition, representatives from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. (“KBW”), Sunshine’s financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger, were present to preliminarily discuss the financial aspects of the proposed merger with the board.
On May 9, 2016, Sunshine’s board of directors met to formally approve the definitive agreement. Representatives from Foley & Lardner LLP and KBW were present to discuss the final terms and update the board on minor changes made since the meeting on May 6, 2016. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered to Sunshine’s board of directors an opinion to the effect that, as of that date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in such opinion, the exchange ratio in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Sunshine.
On May 9, 2016, the boards of directors of FBC and FBC Bank met to review the proposed merger with Sunshine. Representatives of FBC’s legal counsel and Raymond James participated in the meeting. Legal counsel provided the directors with an overview of a memorandum that had been distributed to the directors in advance of the meeting outlining the director fiduciary duties under law, as well as the legal standards applicable to the board’s decisions and actions with respect to the proposed transaction. Raymond James reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger with Sunshine and rendered an opinion to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitation on the review undertaken by Raymond James as set forth in such opinion, the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock. In addition, legal counsel reviewed with the directors the final draft of the proposed merger agreement and the ancillary agreements. Following the presentation by the advisors and discussion among the members of the FBC’s and FBC Bank’s boards of directors, including considerations of the factors described under “The Merger—FBC’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the FBC Board of Directors” beginning on page 69 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the FBC Board of Directors determined that the merger agreement and other transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interest of FBC and its shareholders, approved the merger agreement and the agreements to be entered into by the parties, directed that the merger agreement be submitted for approval by FBC’s shareholders, and recommended that FBC’s shareholders approve the merger agreement. The board of directors of FBC Bank reached the same conclusions and adopted similar resolutions at the meeting.
56
Sunshine’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Sunshine’s Board of Directors
The Sunshine board of directors reviewed the proposed merger with management and Sunshine’s financial and legal advisors, and at a meeting held on May 9, 2016, unanimously approved the merger agreement. These discussions were used to determine that the proposed merger was in the best interest of Sunshine and its shareholders. Accordingly, the board of directors of Sunshine unanimously recommends that Sunshine stockholders vote “FOR” the Sunshine merger proposal and the resulting issuance of shares of Sunshine common stock. In making this determination, Sunshine’s board of directors considered a number of factors in coming to this conclusion, including the following:
| • | | Both parties’ respective businesses, operations, financial condition, asset quality and earnings (historic and prospective); |
| • | | The combined footprint and the addition of a concentrated presence in the greater Orlando market; |
| • | | Combined cost of deposits and pro forma net interest margin; |
| • | | The impact the transaction would have on pro forma financial metrics including earnings, tangible book value, return on assets, return on equity and interest rate risk profile; |
| • | | The review of management’s due diligence reports and analysis; |
| • | | The cultural alignment of the two organizations; |
| • | | The complementary business models employed by both organizations; |
| • | | The potential market reaction and acceptance of the proposed transaction; |
| • | | The current and prospective environment in which both parties operate, including national and regional economic conditions and economic conditions for the financing and banking sector, and the impact of such factors on Sunshine, both individually as to Sunshine, and on a pro forma level assuming the completion of the merger; |
| • | | The opinion, dated May 9, 2016, of KBW to the Sunshine board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to Sunshine of the exchange ratio in the proposed merger, as more fully described below under “Opinion of Sunshine’s Financial Advisor;” |
| • | | The detailed terms of the merger agreement, including the termination fee; |
| • | | Potential risk of management becoming distracted with completion of the merger diverting them from executing Sunshine’s intended organic growth plans; and |
| • | | Regulatory and other customary approvals and closing condition associated with the proposed transaction. |
The preceding list is not intended to disclose all material information related to the analysis and discussion of Sunshine’s board related to the proposed transaction. The board considered numerous risks associated with the proposed transaction, with such risks further described in the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 26 and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 7.
In reaching the decision to unanimously approve the proposed transaction, the Sunshine board of directors did not assign any relative weighting to the reasons for the merger. The Sunshine board of directors feels that the factors in totality are favorable to and supportive of the determination to approve entry into the merger agreement. As such, for the reasons set forth above, the Sunshine board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and unanimously recommends that the Sunshine stockholders vote “FOR” the Sunshine merger proposal and the resulting issuance of shares of Sunshine common stock, “FOR” the Equity Plan amendment proposal and “FOR” the Sunshine adjournment proposal.

Opinion of Sunshine’s Financial Advisor
Sunshine engaged KBW to render financial advisory and investment banking services to Sunshine, including an opinion to the Sunshine board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sunshine of the exchange ratio in the proposed merger. Sunshine selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.
As part of its engagement, representatives of KBW participated in the meeting of the Sunshine board of directors held on May 9, 2016 at which the Sunshine board evaluated the proposed merger. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered an opinion to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in such opinion, the exchange ratio in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Sunshine. The Sunshine board of directors approved the merger agreement at this meeting.
The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion, which is attached as Appendix D to this document and is incorporated herein by reference, and describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW in preparing the opinion.
KBW’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the Sunshine board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger. The opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio in the merger to Sunshine. It did not address the underlying business decision of Sunshine to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the Sunshine board of directors in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Sunshine common stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation as to whether or not any such shareholder should enter into a voting, shareholders’, affiliates’ or other agreement with respect to the merger or exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights that may be available to such shareholder.
KBW’s opinion was reviewed and approved by KBW’s Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with its policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
In connection with the opinion, KBW reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of Sunshine and FBC and bearing upon the merger, including, among other things:
| • | | a draft of the merger agreement, dated May 9, 2016 (the most recent draft then made available to KBW); |
| • | | the audited financial statements and the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of Sunshine; |
| • | | the audited financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of FBC; |
| • | | certain unaudited quarterly financial results for the period ended March 31, 2016 of Sunshine (contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Sunshine with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2016); |
| • | | certain draft and unaudited quarterly financial results for the period ended March 31, 2016 of FBC (provided to KBW by representatives of FBC); |
58
| • | | certain regulatory filings of Sunshine and FBC and their respective subsidiaries, including the respective semi-annual FR Y-9SPs and quarterly call reports filed with respect to each semi-annual period and quarter (as the case may be) during the three year period ended December 31, 2015 and, in regard to such quarterly call reports, the quarter ended March 31, 2016; |
| • | | certain other interim reports and other communications of Sunshine and FBC to their respective stockholders; and |
| • | | other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of Sunshine and FBC furnished to KBW by Sunshine and FBC or which KBW was otherwise directed to use for purposes of its analysis. |
KBW’s consideration of financial information and other factors that it deemed appropriate under the circumstances or relevant to its analyses included, among others, the following:
| • | | the historical and current financial position and results of operations of Sunshine and FBC; |
| • | | the assets and liabilities of Sunshine and FBC; |
| • | | the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions and business combinations in the banking industry; |
| • | | a comparison of certain financial and stock market information of Sunshine and certain financial information of FBC with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; |
| • | | financial and operating forecasts and projections of Sunshine that were prepared by Sunshine management, provided to and discussed with KBW by such management, and used and relied upon by KBW at the direction of such management and with the consent of the Sunshine board of directors; |
| • | | financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the second and third quarters of the 2016 fiscal year that were prepared by, and provided to KBW and discussed with KBW by, the management of FBC, and financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the period from the fourth quarter of the 2016 fiscal year through the 2021 fiscal year that were prepared by, and provided to KBW and discussed with KBW by, the management of Sunshine, all of which information was used and relied upon by KBW based on such discussions with such managements at the direction of Sunshine management and with the consent of the Sunshine board of directors; and |
| • | | estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the merger on Sunshine (including but not limited to the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger) that were prepared by Sunshine management, provided to and discussed with KBW by such management, and used and relied upon at the direction of such management with the consent of the Sunshine board of directors. |
KBW also performed such other studies and analyses as it considered appropriate and took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and its experience in other transactions, as well as its experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. KBW also participated in discussions that were held with the managements of Sunshine and FBC regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters that KBW deemed relevant to its inquiry.
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to it or publicly available and did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility or liability for such verification, accuracy or completeness. KBW relied upon the management of Sunshine as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the second and third quarters of the 2016 fiscal year (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared and provided to KBW by, and discussed with KBW by, such management and KBW relied upon the management of Sunshine as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and
59
projections of FBC with respect to the period from the fourth quarter of the 2016 fiscal year through the 2021 fiscal year (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared and provided to KBW by, and discussed with KBW by, such management, and KBW assumed that all of the foregoing forecasts and projections were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such managements. KBW further relied upon Sunshine management as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of Sunshine and the estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the merger on Sunshine (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared and provided to and discussed with KBW by such management and KBW assumed that all such information was reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management, and that such forecasts, projections and estimates would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such management.
It is understood that such forecasts, projections and estimates of Sunshine and FBC that were provided to and discussed with KBW were not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure, that all such information was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions and that, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such forecasts, projections and estimates. KBW assumed, based on discussions with the managements of FBC and Sunshine, that all such information provided a reasonable basis upon which KBW could form its opinion and KBW expressed no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor. KBW relied on all such information without independent verification or analysis and did not in any respect assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.
KBW assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of either Sunshine or FBC since the date of the last financial statements of each such entity that were made available to KBW. KBW is not an expert in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and KBW assumed, without independent verification and with Sunshine’s consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Sunshine and FBC are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering its opinion, KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals or physical inspection of the property, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Sunshine or FBC, the collateral securing any of such assets or liabilities, or the collectability of any such assets, nor did KBW examine any individual loan or credit files, nor did it evaluate the solvency, financial capability or fair value of Sunshine or FBC under any state or federal laws, including those relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other matters. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, KBW assumed no responsibility or liability for their accuracy.
KBW assumed, in all respects material to its analyses:
| • | | the merger and any related transaction (including the bank subsidiary merger) would be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement (the final terms of which KBW assumed would not differ in any respect material to its analyses from the latest draft of the merger agreement that had been reviewed by KBW) with no adjustments to the exchange ratio and with no other consideration or payments in respect of the FBC common stock; |
| • | | the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement were true and correct; |
| • | | each party to the merger agreement or any of the related documents would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; |
| • | | there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions, any necessary regulatory or governmental approval for the merger and any related transactions (including the bank subsidiary merger) and that all conditions to the completion of the merger and any related transaction would be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the merger agreement or any related documents; and |
60
| • | | in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger and any related transactions (including the bank subsidiary merger), no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, would be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of Sunshine, FBC or the pro forma entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger. |
KBW assumed that the merger would be consummated in a manner that complied with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. KBW was further advised by representatives of Sunshine that Sunshine relied upon advice from its advisors (other than KBW) or other appropriate sources as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to Sunshine, FBC, the merger and any related transaction (including the bank subsidiary merger)), and the merger agreement. KBW did not provide advice with respect to any such matters.
KBW’s opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of such opinion, of the exchange ratio in the merger to Sunshine. KBW expressed no view or opinion as to any other terms or aspects of the merger or any terms or aspects of any related transaction (including the bank subsidiary merger), including without limitation, the form or structure of the merger or any such related transaction, any consequences of the merger or any such related transaction to Sunshine, its stockholders, creditors or otherwise, or any terms, aspects or implications of any employment, voting, support, stockholder, confidentiality, non-solicitation or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the merger, any related transaction, or otherwise. KBW’s opinion was necessarily based upon conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date of such opinion and the information made available to KBW through such date. It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in KBW’s opinion and that KBW does not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. KBW’s opinion did not address, and KBW expressed no view or opinion with respect to:
| • | | the underlying business decision of Sunshine to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement; |
| • | | the relative merits of the merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that are, have been or may be available to or contemplated by Sunshine or the Sunshine board of directors; |
| • | | the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of Sunshine’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the exchange ratio; |
| • | | the effect of the merger or any related transaction on, or the fairness of the consideration to be received by, holders of any class of securities of Sunshine or FBC or any other party to any other transaction contemplated by the merger agreement; |
| • | | any adjustment (as provided in the merger agreement) to the exchange ratio assumed to be paid in the merger for purposes of KBW’s opinion; |
| • | | the actual value of Sunshine common stock to be issued in the merger; |
| • | | the prices, trading range or volume at which Sunshine common stock may trade following the public announcement of the merger or following the consummation of the merger; |
| • | | any advice or opinions provided by any other advisor to any of the parties to the merger or any other transaction contemplated by the merger agreement; or |
| • | | any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar matters relating to Sunshine, FBC, any of their respective shareholders, or relating to or arising out of or as a consequence of the merger or any other related transaction (including the bank subsidiary merger), including whether or not the merger would qualify as atax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. |
61
In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Sunshine and FBC. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the Sunshine board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Sunshine board of directors with respect to the fairness of the merger consideration. The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger were determined through negotiation between Sunshine and FBC and the decision to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the Sunshine board of directors.
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by KBW to the Sunshine board of directors in connection with its opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the financial analyses underlying the opinion or the presentation made by KBW to the Sunshine board of directors, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion.
For purposes of the financial analyses described below, KBW utilized an implied transaction value for the proposed merger of $40.4 million, or $12.72 per outstanding share of FBC common stock, based on the 0.88x exchange ratio in the proposed merger and the closing price of Sunshine common stock on May 9, 2016.
Sunshine Selected Companies Analysis. Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market performance of Sunshine to 15 selected commercial banks and bank holding companies that were listed on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT and headquartered in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia with total assets between $400 million and $1.0 billion, and NPAs / loans + OREO less than 3.0%. Merger targets and thrifts were excluded from the selected companies.

To perform this analysis, KBW used profitability and other financial information for, as of, or, in the case of latest 12 months (“LTM”) information, through, the most recent completed quarter (“MRQ”) available (which in the case of Sunshine was the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016) and market price information as of May 9, 2016. Certain financial data prepared by KBW, and as referenced in the tables presented below, may not correspond to the data presented in Sunshine’s historical financial statements, or the data prepared by FBC’s financial advisor presented under the section “The Merger—Opinion of FBC’s Financial Advisor,” as a result of the different periods, assumptions and methods used by KBW to compute the financial data presented.

63
In addition, KBW’s analysis showed the following concerning the market performance of Sunshine and the selected companies (excluding the impact of the latest 12 months earnings per share (“EPS”) multiple for one of the selected companies, which multiple was considered to be not meaningful (“NM”) because it was negative):

No company used as a comparison in the above selected companies analysis is identical to Sunshine. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.
FBC Selected Companies Analysis. Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance and financial condition of FBC to six selected commercial banks and bank holding companies that were listed on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT and headquartered in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee with total assets less than $500 million. KBW also reviewed the market performance of the selected companies. Merger targets and thrifts were excluded from the selected companies.
The selected companies were:
| | |
Bank of South Carolina Corporation | | Oconee Federal Financial Corp. (MHC) |
| |
Carolina Trust Bank | | OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. |
| |
Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana | | Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation |
To perform this analysis, KBW used profitability and other financial information for, as of, or, in the case of latest 12 months information, through, the most recent completed quarter available (which in the case of FBC was the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016) and market price information as of May 9, 2016. Certain financial data prepared by KBW, and as referenced in the tables presented below, may not correspond to the data presented in FBC’s historical financial statements, or the data prepared by FBC’s financial advisor presented under the section “The Merger—Opinion of FBC’s Financial Advisor,” as a result of the different periods, assumptions and methods used by KBW to compute the financial data presented.

No company used as a comparison in the above selected companies analysis is identical to FBC. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.

For each selected transaction, KBW derived the following implied transaction statistics, in each case based on the transaction consideration value paid for the acquired company and using financial data based on the acquired company’s then latest publicly available financial statements prior to the announcement of the acquisition:
| • | | Price per common share to tangible book value per share of the acquired company (in the case of selected transactions involving a private acquired company, this transaction statistic was calculated as total transaction consideration divided by total tangible common equity); |
| • | | Price per common share to LTM EPS of the acquired company (in the case of selected transactions involving a private acquired company, this transaction statistic was calculated as total transaction consideration divided by LTM net income); and |
66
| • | | Tangible equity premium to core deposits (total deposits less time deposits greater than $100,000) of the acquired company, referred to as core deposit premium. |
The above transaction statistics for the selected transactions were compared with the corresponding transaction statistics for the proposed merger based on the implied transaction value for the proposed merger of $40.4 million and using historical financial information for FBC as of or for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016.
The results of the analysis are set forth in the following table (excluding the impact of LTM EPS multiples for certain selected transactions, which multiples were not considered to be meaningful because they were negative or greater than 35.0x):

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above selected transaction analysis is identical to FBC or the proposed merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.
Relative Contribution Analysis. KBW analyzed the relative standalone contribution of Sunshine and FBC to various pro forma balance sheet and income statement items of the combined entity. This analysis did not include purchase accounting adjustments or cost savings. To perform this analysis, KBW used (i) historical balance sheet data for Sunshine and FBC as of March 31, 2016, (ii) earnings estimates for Sunshine provided by Sunshine management, and (iii) earnings estimates for FBC provided by FBC management in the case of the second and third fiscal quarters of 2016 and otherwise provided by Sunshine management. The results of KBW’s analysis are set forth in the following table, which also compares the results of KBW’s analysis with the implied pro forma ownership percentages of Sunshine and FBC shareholders in the combined company based on the 0.88x exchange ratio in the proposed merger:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Sunshine as a % of Total | | | FBC as a % of Total | |
Balance Sheet | | | | | | | | |
Assets | | | 63.4 | % | | | 36.6 | % |
Gross Loans | | | 60.5 | % | | | 39.5 | % |
Deposits | | | 61.0 | % | | | 39.0 | % |
Equity | | | 68.9 | % | | | 31.1 | % |
Tangible Common Equity | | | 67.3 | % | | | 32.7 | % |
Income Statement | | | | | | | | |
2016 Est. GAAP Net Income Available to Common | | | 42.4 | % | | | 57.6 | % |
2017 Est. GAAP Net Income Available to Common | | | 62.8 | % | | | 37.2 | % |
Ownership | | | | | | | | |
Pro Forma Ownership | | | 65.9 | % | | | 34.1 | % |
Pro Forma Financial Impact Analysis. KBW performed a pro forma financial impact analysis that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Sunshine and FBC. Using closing balance sheet estimates as of September 30, 2016 for Sunshine and FBC, financial forecasts and projections relating to the earnings of Sunshine provided by Sunshine management, financial forecasts and projections
67
relating to the earnings of FBC provided by FBC management in the case of the second and third fiscal quarters of 2016 and otherwise provided by Sunshine management, and pro forma assumptions (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the merger as well as certain accounting adjustments assumed with respect thereto) provided by Sunshine management. KBW analyzed the estimated financial impact of the merger on certain projected financial results. This analysis indicated that the merger could be accretive to Sunshine’s 2016 and 2017 estimated EPS and dilutive to Sunshine’s estimated tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2016. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that, pro forma for the merger, each of Sunshine’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, leverage ratio, Common Equity Tier 1Risk-Based Capital Ratio, Tier 1Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk Based Capital Ratio as of September 30, 2016 could be lower. For all of the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Sunshine following the merger may vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range for the implied equity value of FBC, taking into account the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the merger as well as certain accounting adjustments assumed with respect thereto. In this analysis, KBW used financial forecasts and projections relating to the earnings and assets of FBC, estimated cost savings and related expenses and accounting adjustments, in each case provided by Sunshine management, and assumed discount rates ranging from 14.0% to 18.0%. The ranges of values were derived by adding (i) the present value of the estimated free cash flows that FBC could generate over thefive-year period from 2016 to 2021, (ii) the present value of FBC’s implied terminal value at the end of such period, and (iii) the present value of estimated cost savings and related expenses and accounting adjustments. KBW assumed that FBC would maintain a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio of 8.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. In calculating the terminal value of FBC, KBW applied a range of 10.0x to 15.0x estimated 2021 net income. This discounted cash flow analysis resulted in a range of implied values per share of FBC common stock of $13.04 to $19.68.
The discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent on the assumptions that must be made, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values, dividend payout rates, and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of FBC.
Miscellaneous. KBW acted as financial advisor to Sunshine in connection with the proposed merger and did not act as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of theirbroker-dealer businesses and further to certain sales and trading relationships, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Sunshine and FBC and their respective affiliates, and as a market maker in securities, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Sunshine for their own accounts and for the accounts of their respective customers.
Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Sunshine agreed to pay KBW a non-refundable cash fee equal to $200,000, $50,000 of which became payable concurrently with the rendering of KBW’s opinion and the balance of which is contingent upon the consummation of the merger. Sunshine also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify KBW against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of KBW’s engagement or KBW’s role in connection therewith. In addition to the present engagement, KBW has provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Sunshine during the two years preceding the date of KBW’s opinion and received compensation for such services. KBW acted as financial advisor in connection with Sunshine’s conversion and reorganization from a mutual company that was completed in July 2014, further to which KBW also acted as selling and conversion agent in the July 2014 subscription offering for Sunshine common stock and as an underwriter in the July 2014 registered offering of Sunshine common stock. In connection with the conversion
68
and reorganization and these related offerings, KBW received fees in the aggregate amount of approximately $370,000 from Sunshine. In the two years preceding the date of its opinion, KBW did not provide investment banking and financial advisory services to FBC. KBW may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Sunshine or FBC and receive compensation for such services.
FBC’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the FBC Board of Directors
After careful consideration, FBC’s board of directors, at a meeting held on May 9, 2016, determined that the merger agreement is in the best interests of FBC and its shareholders. Accordingly, FBC’s board of directors adopted and approved the merger agreement and the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and recommends that FBC shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the merger agreement. In reaching its decision to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to recommend that its shareholders approve the merger agreement, the FBC board of directors consulted with FBC management, as well as its financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors, including the following material factors:
| • | | each of FBC’s, Sunshine’s and the combined company’s business, operations, financial condition, asset quality, earnings and prospects. In reviewing these factors, the FBC board of directors considered its view that Sunshine’s geographic footprint, business and operations complement those of FBC and that the merger would result in a combined company with diversified revenue sources, awell-balanced loan portfolio and an attractive funding base, as evidenced by a significant portion of core deposit funding; |
| • | | its understanding of the current and prospective environment in which FBC and Sunshine operate, including national and local economic conditions, the interest rate environment, increasing operating costs resulting from regulatory initiatives and compliance mandates, the competitive environment for financial institutions generally, and the likely effect of these factors on FBC both with and without the proposed transaction; |
| • | | the results that FBC could expect to achieve operating independently, and the likely risks and benefits to FBC shareholders of that course of action, as compared to the value of the merger consideration to be received from Sunshine and this business combination; |
| • | | its view that the size of the institution and related economies of scale was becoming increasingly important to continued success in the current financial services environment, including the increased expenses of regulatory compliance, and that a merger with a larger bank holding company could provide those economies of scale, increase efficiencies of operations and enhance customer products and services; |
| • | | its belief that the number of potential acquirers interested in smaller institutions like FBC, with total assets less than $500 million and limited geographic markets, has diminished and may diminish even further over time; |
| • | | the complementary nature of the credit cultures of the two companies, which management believes should facilitate integration and implementation of the transaction; |
| • | | management’s expectation that the combined company will have a strong capital position upon completion of the transaction; |
| • | | the board’s belief that the combined enterprise would benefit from Sunshine’s ability to take advantage of economies of scale and grow in the current economic environment, making Sunshine an attractive partner for FBC; |
| • | | its belief that the transaction is likely to provide substantial value to FBC’s shareholders; |
| • | | the opinion of Raymond James, FBC’s financial advisor, delivered to FBC’s board of directors, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Raymond James as |
69
| set forth in such opinion, the merger agreement exchange ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the FBC shareholders, as more fully described below in the section entitled “The Merger—Opinion of FBC’s Financial Advisor”; |
| • | | the financial and other terms of the merger agreement, the expected tax treatment and deal protection provisions, including the ability of FBC’s board of directors, under certain circumstances, to withdraw or materially adversely modify its recommendation to FBC shareholders, and to terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal (subject to payment of a termination fee), each of which it reviewed with its outside financial and legal advisors; |
| • | | the fact that the merger consideration will consist of shares of Sunshine common stock, which would allow FBC shareholders to participate in a significant portion of the future performance of the combined FBC and Sunshine business and synergies resulting from the merger, and the value to FBC shareholders represented by that consideration; |
| • | | the greater liquidity in the trading market for Sunshine common stock relative to the market for FBC common stock due to the listing of Sunshine’s shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market; |
| • | | the potential risk of diverting management attention and resources from the operation of FBC’s business and towards the completion of the merger; |
| • | | the requirement that FBC conduct its business in the ordinary course and the other restrictions on the conduct of FBC’s business prior to the completion of the merger, which may delay or prevent FBC from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the merger; |
| • | | the potential risks associated with achieving anticipated cost synergies and savings and successfully integrating Sunshine’s business, operations and workforce with those of FBC; and |
| • | | the regulatory and other approvals required in connection with the merger and the expectation that such regulatory approvals will be received in a timely manner and without the imposition of unacceptable conditions. |
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the FBC board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes the material factors considered by the FBC board of directors. In reaching its decision to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the FBC board of directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The FBC board of directors considered all these factors as a whole, including discussions with, and questioning of, FBC’s management and FBC’s financial and legal advisors, and overall considered the factors to be favorable to, and to support, its determination.
For the reasons set forth above, the FBC board of directors has unanimously adopted and approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommends that you vote “FOR” the FBC merger proposal and “FOR” the FBC adjournment proposal.
Each of the directors of FBC has entered into a voting agreement with Sunshine, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favor of the FBC merger proposal and the other proposals to be voted on at the FBC special meeting (subject to certain exceptions). For more information regarding the voting agreements, please see the section entitled “FBC Bancorp, Inc. Special Meeting of Shareholders—Voting Rights, Quorum Requirements and Vote Required” beginning on page 51.
Opinion of FBC’s Financial Advisor
FBC retained Raymond James as financial advisor on April 1, 2016. FBC selected Raymond James because Raymond James is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions involving financial institutions. Raymond James is actively involved in the investment banking business and regularly undertakes the valuation of financial institutions in connection with public offerings, private
70
placements, business combinations and similar transactions. Pursuant to that engagement, the FBC board of directors requested that Raymond James evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement.
At the May 9, 2016 meeting of the FBC board of directors, representatives of Raymond James rendered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion to the board dated May 9, 2016, as to the fairness, as of such date, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, based upon and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and other matters considered in connection with the preparation of its opinion.
The full text of the written opinion of Raymond James is attached as Appendix E to this document. The summary of the opinion of Raymond James set forth in this document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such written opinion. Holders of FBC common stock are urged to read this opinion in its entirety.
Raymond James provided its opinion for the information of the FBC board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with, and for purposes of, its consideration of the merger and its opinion only addresses the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement. The opinion of Raymond James does not address any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or the merger contemplated thereby. The Raymond James opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the board or to any holder of FBC common stock as to how the board, such stockholder or any other person should vote or otherwise act with respect to the merger or any other matter. Raymond James did not express any opinion as to the likely trading range of Sunshine common stock following the merger, which may vary depending on numerous factors that generally impact the price of securities or on the financial condition of Sunshine at that time. For purposes of its opinion, and with the consent of the FBC board of directors, Raymond James assumed that the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement would be equal to 0.8800 shares of Sunshine common stock.
In connection with its review of the proposed merger and the preparation of its opinion, Raymond James, among other things:
| 1. | reviewed a draft, dated May 6, 2016 of the merger agreement; |
| 2. | reviewed certain information related to the historical, current and future operations, financial condition and prospects of FBC made available to Raymond James by FBC, including, but not limited to, financial projections prepared by the management of FBC relating to FBC for the periods ending December 31, 2016 – 2020, as approved for Raymond James’ use by FBC (the “Projections”) and financial projections prepared by management of Sunshine relating to Sunshine for the periods ending December 31, 2016 – 2020, as approved for Raymond James’ use by FBC (“Sunshine Projections”); |
| 3. | reviewed Sunshine’s recent public filings and certain other publicly available information regarding FBC and Sunshine; |
| 4. | reviewed financial, operating and other information regarding FBC and the industry in which it operates; |
| 5. | reviewed the financial and operating performance of FBC and those of other selected public companies that Raymond James deemed to be relevant; |
| 6. | reviewed the current and historical market prices and trading volume for Sunshine’s common stock, and the current market prices of the publicly traded securities of certain other companies that Raymond James deemed to be relevant; |
| 7. | conducted such other financial studies, analyses and inquiries and considered such other information and factors as Raymond James deemed appropriate; |
71
| 8. | reviewed a certificate addressed to Raymond James from a member of senior management of FBC regarding, among other things, the accuracy of the information, data and other materials (financial or otherwise) provided to, or discussed with, Raymond James by or on behalf of FBC; and |
| 9. | discussed with members of the senior management of FBC certain information relating to the aforementioned and any other matters which Raymond James deemed relevant to its inquiry. |
With FBC’s consent, Raymond James assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied by or on behalf of FBC, or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Raymond James, and Raymond James did not undertake any duty or responsibility to, nor did Raymond James, independently verify any of such information. In addition, Raymond James did not review any individual credit files, nor did it make an independent evaluation of appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of FBC or Sunshine or any of their respective subsidiaries and Raymond James was not furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. With respect to the Projections, Sunshine Projections and any other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Raymond James, Raymond James, with FBC’s consent, assumed that the Projections, Sunshine Projections and such other information and data were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management. Raymond James was authorized by FBC to rely upon such forecasts, and other information and data, including the Projections and Sunshine Projections, and Raymond James expressed no view as to such forecasts or other information or data, or the bases or assumptions on which they were prepared. Raymond James assumed that each party to the merger agreement would advise Raymond James promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of its review. Raymond James expressed no opinion with respect to the Projections, Sunshine Projections, or the assumptions on which they were based. Raymond James assumed, without independent verification, that the final form of the merger agreement would conform to the draft received by it in all respect material to its analyses, and that the merger would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any of the conditions thereto and that, in the course of obtaining any necessary legal, regulatory or third party consents or approvals for the merger, no delays, limitations, restrictions or conditions would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on FBC, Sunshine or the contemplated benefits of the merger. Furthermore, Raymond James assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the merger agreement were true and correct and that each party would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the merger agreement without being waived. Raymond James also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that (i) the merger would be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with all applicable international, federal and state statutes, rules and regulations, and (ii) all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the merger would be obtained and that no delay, limitations, restrictions or conditions would be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would have an effect on the merger or FBC that would be material to its analysis or opinion.
Raymond James relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of FBC’s management and FBC’s legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors with respect to all legal, tax, accounting and regulatory matters, including without limitation that the merger would qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Raymond James expressed no opinion as to the underlying business decision to effect the merger, the structure or tax consequences of the merger, or the availability or advisability of any alternatives to the merger. The Raymond James opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement. Raymond James expressed no opinion with respect to any other reasons (legal, business, or otherwise) that may support the decision of FBC’s board of directors to approve or consummate the merger. Furthermore, no opinion, counsel or interpretation was intended by Raymond James on matters that require legal, accounting or tax advice. Raymond James assumed that such opinions, counsel or interpretations had been or would be obtained from appropriate professional sources. Furthermore, Raymond James relied, with the consent of FBC’s board of directors, on the fact that FBC was assisted by legal, accounting and tax advisors, and, with the consent of FBC’s board of directors relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the assessments by FBC and its advisors, as to all legal, accounting and tax matters with respect to FBC and the merger.
72
In formulating its opinion, Raymond James considered only what it understood to be the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement , and Raymond James did not consider, and its opinion did not address, the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of FBC, or any class of such persons, in connection with the merger whether relative to the exchange ratio or otherwise. Raymond James was not requested to opine as to, and its opinion did not express an opinion as to or otherwise address, among other things: (1) the fairness of the merger to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of FBC, or to any other party, except and only to the extent expressly set forth in the last sentence of its opinion or (2) the fairness of the merger to any one class or group of FBC’s or any other party’s security holders or other constituents vis-à-vis any other class or group of FBC’s or such other party’s security holders or other constituents (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration to be received in the merger amongst or within such classes or groups of security holders or other constituents). Raymond James expressed no opinion as to the impact of the merger on the solvency or viability of FBC or the ability of FBC or Sunshine to pay their respective obligations when they come due.
Material Financial Analyses
The following summarizes the material financial analyses reviewed by Raymond James with the FBC board of directors at its meeting on May 9, 2016, which material was considered by Raymond James in rendering its opinion. No company used in the analyses described below is identical or directly comparable to FBC or Sunshine.
Contribution Analysis. Raymond James analyzed the pro rata contribution of FBC to the combined company’s results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and projected results for the year ending December 31, 2017, assuming the merger had closed as of the beginning of these respective years. Raymond James used balance sheet data for FBC and Sunshine as of March 31, 2016 and FBC and Sunshine management estimates for December 31, 2017 net income. The results of this analysis are summarized below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Sunshine | | | FBC | | | Implied Exchange Ratio | |
Total Assets | | | 63.4 | % | | | 36.6 | % | | | 0.9612x | |
| | | |
Gross Loans | | | 60.5 | % | | | 39.5 | % | | | 1.0872x | |
| | | |
Total Deposits | | | 61.1 | % | | | 38.9 | % | | | 1.0607x | |
| | | |
Total Equity | | | 68.9 | % | | | 31.1 | % | | | 0.7513x | |
| | | |
Tangible Common Equity | | | 67.3 | % | | | 32.7 | % | | | 0.8083x | |
| | | |
2017E Net Income | | | 61.1 | % | | | 38.9 | % | | | 1.0570x | |
| | | |
Exchange Ratio per Merger Agreement | | | | | | | | | | | 0.8800x | |
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Raymond James analyzed the discounted present value of both FBC’s and Sunshine’s respective projected free cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2016 through 2020 on a standalone basis. Raymond James used tangible common equity in excess of a target ratio of 8.0% to determine free cash flow.
The discounted cash flow analysis was based on the Projections and Sunshine Projections. Consistent with the periods included in the Projections and Sunshine Projections, multiples, ranging from 12.0x to 14.0x of calendar year 2020 net income and 120% to 140% of 2020 calendar year end tangible book value were applied in order to derive ranges of terminal values for both FBC and Sunshine in 2020.
73
The projected free cash flows and terminal values were discounted using rates ranging from 12.2% to 14.2%. The resulting range of present equity values was divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding in order to arrive at a range of present values per FBC and Sunshine share. Raymond James reviewed the implied exchange ratios derived in the discounted cash flow analysis and compared them to the exchange ratio. The results of the discounted cash flow analysis are summarized below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Implied Equity Value | | | Implied Exchange Ratio | |
| | Sunshine | | | FBC | | | Low / High | | | High / Low | |
Net Income Terminal Multiple Low | | $ | 11.29 | | | $ | 11.37 | | | | 0.8075x | | | | 1.1996x | |
| | | | |
Net Income Terminal Multiple High | | | 14.08 | | | | 13.54 | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
TBV Terminal Multiple Low | | | 11.92 | | | | 9.92 | | | | 0.6666x | | | | 0.9821x | |
| | | | |
TBV Terminal Multiple High | | | 14.88 | | | | 11.71 | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
Exchange Ratio per Merger Agreement | | | | | | | | | | | 0.8800x | |

Raymond James calculated various financial multiples for FBC and Sunshine, including (i) price per share compared to book value, referred to as “BV”, per share as of either December 31, 2015 or March 31, 2016, depending on the most recently reported period for each company and (ii) price per share compared to tangible book value, referred to as “TBV”, per share as of either December 31, 2015 or March 31, 2016, depending on the most recently reported period for each company. Raymond James then identified the mean and median valuation multiples as summarized below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Price / MRQ BV | | | Price / MRQ TBV | |
Mean | | | 104 | % | | | 106 | % |
| | |
Median | | | 102 | % | | | 104 | % |
Furthermore, Raymond James applied the mean and median relative valuation multiples for each of the metrics to the actual financial results of both FBC and Sunshine. The mean and median of the implied equity prices per share indicated by this analysis were then used to impute a range of exchange ratios for each of the metrics listed below. The results of this are summarized below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Sunshine | | | FBC | | | Implied Exchange Ratio | |
| | Mean | | | Median | | | Mean | | | Median | | | Low / High | | | High / Low | |
Mean | | $ | 14.24 | | | $ | 13.88 | | | $ | 10.94 | | | $ | 10.66 | | | | 0.7488x | | | | 0.7883x | |
| | | | | | |
Median | | | 12.44 | | | | 12.18 | | | | 10.29 | | | | 10.07 | | | | 0.8091x | | | | 0.8444x | |
| | | | | | |

Additional Considerations. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Raymond James believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering the analyses taken as a whole, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion. In addition, Raymond James considered the results of all such analyses and did not assign relative weights to any of the analyses, but rather made qualitative judgments as to significance and relevance of each analysis and factor, so the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be the view of Raymond James as to the actual value of FBC.
In performing its analyses, Raymond James made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic and regulatory conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of FBC. The analyses performed by Raymond James are not necessarily indicative of actual values, trading values or actual future results which might be achieved, all of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Such analyses were provided to the FBC board of directors (in its capacity as such) and were prepared solely as part of the analysis of Raymond James of the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of FBC’s outstanding common stock of the exchange ratio provided for in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which companies may actually be sold, and such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. The opinion of Raymond James was one of many factors taken into account by the FBC board in making its determination to approve the merger. Neither Raymond James’ opinion nor the analyses described above should be viewed as determinative of the FBC board of directors’ or FBC management’s views with respect to FBC, Sunshine or the merger. Raymond James provided advice to FBC with respect to the proposed transaction. Raymond James did
75
not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to the board or that any specific exchange ratio constituted the only appropriate consideration for the merger. Raymond James did not solicit indications of interest with respect to a transaction involving FBC. FBC placed no limits on the scope of the analysis performed, or opinion expressed, by Raymond James.
The Raymond James opinion was based upon market, economic, financial and other circumstances and conditions existing and disclosed to it as of May 9, 2016, and any material change in such circumstances and conditions may affect the opinion of Raymond James, but Raymond James does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm that opinion. Raymond James relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that there had been no change in the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects of FBC since the respective dates of the most recent financial statements and other information, financial or otherwise, provided to Raymond James that would be material to its analyses or its opinion, and that there was no information or any facts that would make any of the information reviewed by Raymond James incomplete or misleading in any material respect.
For its services as financial advisor to FBC in connection with the proposed merger, Raymond James will receive a customary transaction fee based on the implied value of the proposed merger, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon completion of the merger. Upon the rendering of its opinion, Raymond James became entitled to a fee of $150,000, which is creditable against the transaction fee and which is not contingent upon the completion of the proposed merger or the conclusion reached in the opinion. FBC also agreed to reimburse Raymond James for its expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, and will indemnify Raymond James against certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.
Raymond James is actively involved in the investment banking business and regularly undertakes the valuation of investment securities in connection with public offerings, private placements, business combinations and similar transactions. In the ordinary course of business, Raymond James may trade in the securities of Sunshine for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. Raymond James and its affiliates have in the past two years provided or are currently providing investment banking and other financial services to Sunshine for which Raymond James or its affiliates have received, or would expect to receive, compensation, including, during the past two years, having provided financial advisory services to Sunshine with respect to capital formation, sales and trading, and additional advisory activities. On December 4, 2015, Sunshine closed a private placement of common stock for which Raymond James served as sole placement agent and received a fee of $700,350.00. Raymond James and its affiliates may provide investment banking, financial advisory and other financial services to FBC, Sunshine or certain of their respective affiliates in the future, for which Raymond James and such affiliates may receive compensation.
Certain Prospective Financial Information of the Parties
In connection with the proposed merger, Sunshine provided certain of its prospective financial information to FBC and Raymond James, the financial advisor to FBC, and FBC provided certain of its prospective financial information to Sunshine and KBW, the financial advisor to Sunshine.
The prospective financial information reflects numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to each of Sunshine’s and FBC’s respective businesses, all of which are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the parties’ control. The prospective financial information is subjective in many respects and thus is susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The prospective financial information may also be affected by the parties’ ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable periods. As such, these projections constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks set forth in the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” The prospective financial information generally
76
was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither parties’ independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. This information was prepared solely for internal use and is subjective in many respects. Neither Sunshine nor FBC can provide any assurance that the unaudited prospective financial information and the underlying estimates and assumptions will be realized. In addition, since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.
Furthermore, the prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. Neither party can give any assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial information been prepared as of the date of this document, similar estimates and assumptions would be used. Neither party intends to, and each disclaims any obligation to, make publicly available any update or other revision to the unaudited prospective financial information to reflect circumstances existing since its preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.
The unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the possible financial and other effects on either Sunshine or FBC, as applicable, of the merger and does not attempt to predict or suggest future results of the surviving company. The unaudited prospective financial information does not give effect to the merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the merger agreement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with completing the merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the surviving company as a result of the merger, the effect on either Sunshine or FBC, as applicable, of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the merger agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement had not been executed, but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the merger. Further, the unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the effect on either Sunshine or FBC, as applicable, of any possible failure of the merger to occur.

You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information set forth above. The inclusion of the prospective financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that any of Sunshine, FBC, KBW, Raymond James or their affiliates, advisors or representatives considered or considers such information to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the prospective financial information should not be relied upon as such. None of Sunshine, FBC, KBW, Raymond James or their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from the assumptions, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the assumptions to reflect circumstances existing after the date such information was generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error. None of Sunshine, FBC, KBW, Raymond James or their respective affiliates, advisors or representatives makes any representation to any shareholder regarding the prospective financial information. The prospective financial information is not being included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to influence a shareholder’s decision regarding how to vote on any given proposal. In light of the foregoing, and considering that the parties’ special meetings will be held several months after the unaudited prospective financial information was prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasted information, Sunshine stockholders and FBC shareholders are cautioned not to place unwarranted reliance on such information.
Interests of FBC’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger
In the merger, the directors and executive officers of FBC will receive the same merger consideration for their FBC shares as the other FBC shareholders. In considering the recommendation of the FBC board of directors that you vote to approve the merger agreement, you should be aware that some of the executive officers and directors of FBC may have interests in the merger and may have arrangements, as described below, that may be considered to be different from, or in addition to, those of FBC shareholders generally. The FBC board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to adopt and approve the merger agreement and to recommend that FBC shareholders vote in favor of approving the merger agreement. For a more complete description of FBC’s reasons for the merger and the recommendations of the FBC board of directors, please see the section entitled “The Merger—Background of the Merger” and “The Merger—FBC’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the FBC Board of Directors” beginning on pages 53 and 69, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. FBC’s shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the merger agreement. These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative below.
78
Entry into Executive Employment Agreement
As a condition to Sunshine’s obligation to consummate the merger, Sunshine and Ms. Kilborne will enter into an employment agreement, effective as of the effective date of the merger, pursuant to which Ms. Kilborne would serve as Executive Vice President of Sunshine and the Co-President and Chief Banking Officer of Sunshine Bank. The employment agreement has a two-year term and renews for a period of two years on each day following the effective date of the merger. The agreement provides for, among other things, (i) an annual salary of $300,000 per year, (ii) reimbursement of business and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with carrying out the business of Sunshine, subject to documentation in accordance with Sunshine’s policy, (iii) eligibility to participate in the medical, health, and life insurance as well as other benefits as are afforded to similarly titled executives, and (iv) the provision of an automobile. If Ms. Kilborne’s employment is terminated without cause or by Ms. Kilborne for “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), then Ms. Kilborne will be entitled to (i) continued payment of salary for a period of 12 months following the termination of employment, and (ii) an amount equal to the last bonus paid by Sunshine Bank to her (which shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly scheduled pay period), and (iii) reimbursement for the costs of continued coverage under Sunshine Bank’s medical insurance plan in accordance with COBRA. If a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) occurs at any time during the term of the agreement, Ms. Kilborne may terminate her employment for any reason or no reason within two years following the change in control, in which event she will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times the sum of (i) her base annual salary, and (ii) the last annual cash bonus earned by her. The employment agreement contains restrictive covenants providing for non-recruitment of employees, non-solicitation of customers and non-competition which are effective during the term of employment for a period of 12 months thereafter.
Payment Under Certain Contracts
Pursuant to their existing employment agreements with FBC and FBC Bank, Ms. Kilborne and Messrs. Bentancourt and Tasker are each entitled to receive, upon a change of control of FBC, a lump sum payment equal to approximately $1,319,290, $500,000, and $132,500, respectively.
Treatment of FBC Stock Option
At the effective time of the merger, all outstanding options to purchase shares of FBC common stock, that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will vest and be converted into the right to purchase a proportionate number of shares of Sunshine common stock, as adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio in the merger agreement of 0.88. Accordingly, the 108,722 outstanding FBC stock options held by FBC and FBC Bank non-employee directors and the 163,471 FBC stock options held by the FBC and FBC Bank executive officers will convert into options for Sunshine common stock in accordance with the foregoing. In addition to the currently outstanding awards, FBC will also issue a new option to Ms. Kilborne which would entitle her to purchase 13,500 shares of FBC common stock. This award will be issued prior to the closing of the merger with Sunshine, and will have a strike price equal to the closing price of Sunshine common stock immediately prior to the closing of the merger.
Indemnification
For a period of six years from and after the effective time of the merger, Sunshine will indemnify and defend the present and former directors and officers of FBC and FBC Bank against claims pertaining to matters occurring at or prior to the closing of the merger as permitted by FBC’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable Florida law, and in connection with any such claim promptly advance expenses from time to time as incurred, provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
In the event of any claim, Sunshine has the right to assume the defense of the claim, and is not liable to such indemnified parties for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such
79
indemnified parties in connection with the defense thereof, unless such indemnified party is advised in writing by its counsel that the defense of such indemnified party by Sunshine would create an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Officers’ and Directors’ Liability Insurance
Sunshine and FBC have agreed that for a period of six years after the effective time of the merger Sunshine will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy for present and former officers and directors of FBC or its subsidiaries, providing substantially similar coverage to that offered under FBC’s existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy. However, if Sunshine is unable to obtain the insurance required by the merger agreement, Sunshine will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available. Sunshine is not required to expend for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of 190% of the annual premium paid by FBC for directors’ and officers’ insurance in effect as of the date of the merger agreement (referred to as the “maximum D&O tail premium”). If the aggregate cost of such tail insurance exceeds the maximum D&O tail premium, Sunshine will obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate cost not exceeding the maximum D&O tail premium for, in the case of a tail insurance policy, the aggregate maximum D&O tail premium for the six-year period. At the option of FBC, prior to the effective time of the merger and in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, FBC may purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including subject to the aggregate maximum D&O tail premium, except if one or more directors elect to pay for any excess over such amount) and fully pay for such six-year policy prior to the effective time of the merger, in which event Sunshine’s obligations would be fully satisfied. If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by FBC prior to the effective time of the merger, Sunshine will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation or modification of such policy.
80
THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The description of the merger and the merger agreement contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus describes what we believe are the material terms of the merger agreement. This summary description, however, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference.
General
The merger agreement provides for the merger of FBC with and into Sunshine, with Sunshine as the surviving entity, and for the merger of FBC Bank with and into Sunshine Bank, with Sunshine Bank as the surviving entity. If FBC shareholders and Sunshine stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement at their respective special meetings, and if the required regulatory approvals are obtained and the other conditions to the parties’ obligations to effect the merger are met or waived (to the extent permitted by law), we anticipate that the merger will be completed late in the third quarter of 2016 or in the fourth quarter of 2016, although delays could occur. As a result of the merger, holders of FBC common stock will be entitled to receive the merger consideration consisting of shares of Sunshine common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest, and such holders will no longer be owners of FBC common stock. As a result of the merger, certificates for FBC common stock will only represent the right to receive the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement, and otherwise will be null and void after completion of the merger. No assurance is made as to whether, or when, Sunshine and FBC will complete the merger.
Merger Consideration
Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of FBC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (excluding any FBC common stock owned by Sunshine or its subsidiaries, which will be cancelled for no additional consideration) will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares (the “exchange ratio”) of common stock of Sunshine, subject to adjustment as described below.
If Sunshine’s weighted average stock price, as calculated during the ten trading days prior to the determination date (i.e., the fourth calendar day prior to the closing of the merger, or if such day is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately preceding such calendar day), is (i) more than 20% lower than $14.03, which was the weighted average stock price of Sunshine’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of the merger agreement, and (ii) such decrease in Sunshine’s stock price is more than 20% relative to the change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index on the corresponding dates, FBC shall have a right to terminate the merger agreement unless Sunshine agrees to increase the exchange ratio by a fixed percentage based on the relative price decrease of Sunshine’s common stock and the relative change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index.
No fractional shares of Sunshine common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, Sunshine will make to each FBC shareholder who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Sunshine common stock a cash payment, without interest and rounded up to the nearest whole cent, for the value of any fraction of a share of Sunshine common stock that you would otherwise be entitled to receive, based on Sunshine’s weighted average stock price on the five trading days prior to the merger.
All shares of Sunshine common stock received by FBC shareholders in the merger will be freely tradable, except that shares of Sunshine common stock received by persons who become affiliates of Sunshine for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be resold by them only in transactions permitted by Rule 144, or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act.
A FBC shareholder also has the right to obtain the fair value of his or her shares of FBC common stock in lieu of receiving the merger consideration by strictly following the appraisal procedures under the FBCA. Shares of FBC common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and which are held by a
81
shareholder who does not vote to approve the FBC merger proposal and who properly demands the fair value of such shares pursuant to, and who complies with, the appraisal procedures under the FBCA are referred to as “dissenting shares.” See “The Merger Agreement—FBC Shareholders Have Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 91 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
If Sunshine changes the number of shares of Sunshine common stock outstanding prior to the effective time of the merger as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar recapitalization and the record date for such corporate action is prior to the effective time of the merger, then the merger consideration shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted.
Based upon the closing sale price of Sunshine common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market of $14.55 on August 26, 2016, the last practicable trading date prior to the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the per share value of the merger consideration was equal to approximately $12.80.
The value of the shares of Sunshine common stock to be issued to FBC shareholders in the merger will fluctuate between now and the closing date of the merger. We make no assurances as to whether or when the merger will be completed, and you are advised to obtain current sale prices for Sunshine common stock. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Merger—Because the market price of Sunshine’s common stock may fluctuate, FBC shareholders cannot be certain of the precise value of the merger consideration they will be entitled to receive” beginning on page 26 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Treatment of FBC Equity Awards
As of the date of the merger agreement, there were 294,550 outstanding FBC stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.26 per share.
Pursuant to the terms of FBC’s 2014 Directors’ Stock Option Plan and FBC’s 2014 Officers’ and Employees’ Stock Option Plan, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option to purchase FBC common stock will vest and be converted into the right to purchase a proportionate number of shares of Sunshine common stock, as adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio in the merger agreement of 0.88. Assuming there is no change in the exchange ratio, following the merger, the 294,550 outstanding FBC stock options will be converted into an aggregate of 259,204 options to purchase shares of Sunshine common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.52 per share.
Procedure for Exchanging Certificates
Prior to the effective time of the merger, Sunshine will deposit with the exchange agent, Computershare (who also serves as Sunshine’s transfer agent), certificates representing the shares of Sunshine common stock and the estimated amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Sunshine common stock and, if applicable, cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to make the appropriate payment to the holders of any dissenting shares.
No later than five business days after the closing date, provided that FBC has delivered to the exchange agent all information necessary for the exchange agent to perform its obligations, the exchange agent will mail a letter of transmittal to each holder of FBC common stock that will include detailed instructions on how such holder may exchange such holder’s FBC common shares for shares of Sunshine common stock to be received in the merger pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. Prior to the effective time of the merger, Sunshine will instruct the exchange agent to promptly pay such merger consideration as promptly as practicable thereafter upon receipt of a properly completed letter of transmittal.
You will not receive any fractional shares of Sunshine common stock in connection with the merger. Instead, you will be paid cash in an amount equal to the fraction of a share of Sunshine common stock otherwise
82
issuable upon conversion, multiplied by the Sunshine weighted average stock price, determined as indicated above. No interest will be paid on any merger consideration that any such holder shall be entitled to receive.
At and after the effective time of the merger, each certificate or book-entry representing shares of FBC common stock, until so surrendered and exchanged, will evidence only the right to receive, without interest, the merger consideration, including any dividend or other distribution with respect to Sunshine common stock with a record date after the effective time of the merger. The stock transfer books of FBC will be closed immediately at the effective time of the merger and after the effective time there will be no transfers on the stock transfer records of FBC of any shares of FBC common stock. Sunshine will be entitled to rely on FBC’s stock transfer books to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the merger consideration. If a certificate for FBC common stock has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue shares of Sunshine common stock under the merger agreement upon receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the claimant, an indemnity agreement and the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Sunshine determines is reasonably required as indemnity.
Each of Sunshine and the exchange agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to any holder of FBC common stock the amounts it is required to deduct and withhold under any federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If Sunshine or the exchange agent withholds any amounts upon remittance of those amounts to the appropriate governmental authority, these amounts will be treated for all purposes of the merger as having been paid to the shareholders from whom they were withheld.
Employee Matters
Each individual who is an employee of FBC or FBC Bank as of the closing of the merger (whose employment is not specifically terminated upon the closing) will become an employee of Sunshine or Sunshine Bank.
All FBC or FBC Bank employees who become employees of Sunshine or Sunshine Bank at the effective time of the merger will be entitled to participate in Sunshine’s benefit plans to the same extent as similarly situated Sunshine employees and, to the extent allowable, will be given credit for their service at FBC or FBC Bank. Sunshine will also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Sunshine benefit plan to waive any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations. Any full-time employee of FBC or FBC Bank who is terminated without cause within six months after the effective time of the merger and who does not receive a severance payment in connection with the merger will receive a severance payment equal to two weeks of base weekly pay for each year of completed employment service with FBC or FBC Bank (or its predecessor), with a maximum severance payment equal to twenty-six weeks of base pay, subject to execution by the employee of any required general release and waiver of all claims.
Ms. Kilborne is also entitled to a change of control payment of $947,047 (plus a tax gross-up payment of approximately $390,000) upon the closing of the merger under her current employment agreement with FBC. For a description of Ms. Kilborne’s proposed employment agreement, see“The Merger—Interests of FBC’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger—Entry into Executive Employment Agreement.”
Management and Operations After the Merger
Upon closing of the merger, the separate existence of FBC and FBC Bank will cease. The officers of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank immediately prior to the merger will continue as officers of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank, respectively, after the merger. In addition, upon completion of the merger, Dana Kilborne, FBC Bank’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will serve as an Executive Vice President of Sunshine andCo-President and Chief Banking Officer of Sunshine Bank. In addition, ten directors of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank immediately prior to the merger will continue as directors of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank, respectively, after the merger. Five FBC current board members will be appointed to the Sunshine and Sunshine Bank board of directors, increasing the total number of directors of each of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank to fifteen members.
83
The rights of FBC shareholders after the merger who continue as stockholders of Sunshine will be governed by Maryland law rather than Florida law. After the merger is completed, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Sunshine, rather than the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FBC, will govern your rights as a stockholder.
Sunshine, as the resulting entity, will continue to operate under its policies, practices and procedures currently in place. Upon completion of the merger, all assets and property owned by FBC and FBC Bank will immediately become the property of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank.
Representations and Warranties
The merger agreement includes customary representations and warranties of Sunshine and FBC relating to their respective businesses that are made as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date of the merger. However, it should be noted that these representations and warranties:
| • | | have been qualified by information set forth in confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with signing the merger agreement—the information contained in those schedules modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties in the merger agreement; |
| • | | will not survive consummation of the merger; |
| • | | may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties to the merger agreement if those statements turn out to be inaccurate; and |
| • | | are in some cases subject to a materiality standard described in the merger agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by you. |
The representations and warranties by Sunshine and FBC include, among other things:
| • | | the organization, existence, and corporate power and authority of each of the companies; |
| • | | the capitalization of each of the companies; |
| • | | the status of subsidiaries; |
| • | | the corporate power and authority to consummate the merger; |

| • | | the absence of any undisclosed liabilities of FBC; |
| • | | the absence of adverse material litigation with respect to FBC; |
| • | | accuracy of information in Sunshine’s and FBC’s financial statements; |
| • | | the existence, performance and legal effect of certain contracts and insurance policies of FBC; |
| • | | the filing of tax returns, payment of taxes and other tax matters by each party; |
| • | | labor and employee benefit matters of FBC; |
| • | | compliance with applicable environmental laws by FBC; and |
| • | | the status of tangible property, intellectual property, certain loans and non-performing and classified assets of FBC. |
84
Conduct of Business Pending the Merger
The merger agreement contains various restrictions on the operations of FBC before the effective time of the merger. In general, the merger agreement obligates FBC and FBC Bank to conduct its business in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. In addition, FBC and FBC Bank have agreed that, except as expressly contemplated by the merger agreement, without the prior written consent of Sunshine (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), neither will, among other things:

86
In addition to these covenants, the merger agreement contains various other customary covenants, including, among other things, access to information and each party’s agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required consents.
Conditions to the Merger
The respective obligations of Sunshine and FBC to complete the merger are subject to various conditions prior to the merger. The conditions include the following:
| • | | the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties set forth in the merger agreement subject to the standards set forth in the merger agreement; |
| • | | the performance of all agreements and covenants required by the merger agreement to be performed prior to the closing of the merger; |
| • | | the delivery of certain certificates of the appropriate officers of Sunshine and FBC; |
| • | | approval of the merger agreement by Sunshine stockholders and FBC shareholders; |
| • | | the receipt of all required regulatory approvals or authorizations, provided that none of these approvals contain any non-standard condition that would prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation of the business of FBC by Sunshine or Sunshine Bank, would compel Sunshine or Sunshine Bank to dispose of any material portion of the business or assets of FBC, Sunshine or Sunshine Bank, would continue any portion of any regulatory agreement of FBC against Sunshine after the merger, or otherwise be reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on Sunshine after giving effect to the merger (measured on a scale relative to FBC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole); |
| • | | the absence of any injunction, order, judgment or decree restraining or prohibiting completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; |
| • | | the registration statement of Sunshine of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part must have become effective under the Securities Act and no “stop order” shall have been entered by the SEC and be continuing in effect; |
| • | | neither Sunshine nor FBC shall have suffered a material adverse effect; |
| • | | the issuance of tax opinions to each of Sunshine and FBC to the effect that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under United States federal income tax laws (the original closing condition in the merger agreement has since been waived, such that Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A., the tax advisor to each of Sunshine and FBC, will render the opinion to both Sunshine and FBC); |
| • | | each party must execute and deliver the employment agreement with Dana Kilborne; and |
| • | | the approval to list the common stock of Sunshine issuable in connection with the merger on the NASDAQ Capital Market. |
The parties may waive conditions to their obligations unless they are legally prohibited from doing so. Stockholder approval and regulatory approvals may not be legally waived.
Agreement to Not Solicit Other Offers
FBC has agreed that neither it nor its representatives will, directly or indirectly:
| • | | initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal, including entering into any agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any acquisition proposal or resolve to approve any acquisition proposal; or |
87
| • | | participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any acquisition proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any person (other than Sunshine) any information or data with respect to FBC or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an acquisition proposal; |
In addition, FBC agreed not to release any person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which FBC is a party.
Under the merger agreement, an “acquisition proposal” means any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from Sunshine), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition transaction. An “acquisition transaction” means:
| • | | any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving FBC or any of its subsidiaries; |
| • | | any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, a significant portion of the assets of FBC or any of its subsidiaries; |
| • | | any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 20% or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of FBC or any of its subsidiaries; |
| • | | any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of FBC or any of its subsidiaries; or |
| • | | any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the transactions listed above, or any combination of these types of transactions. |
If FBC receives a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation provisions in the merger agreement as discussed above, the FBC board of directors may participate in discussions or negotiations regarding the unsolicited acquisition proposal if the FBC board of directors first determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor, that such acquisition proposal is or is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal, and its failure to take action on such proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to its shareholders under applicable law.
A “superior proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited acquisition proposal that:
| • | | if consummated, would result in a third party (or in the case of a direct merger between such third party and FBC, the shareholders of such third party) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding FBC common stock or more than 50% of the assets of FBC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, and |
| • | | the FBC board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, (1) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal, including all conditions contained therein and the person making such acquisition proposal, and (2) taking into account any changes to the merger agreement proposed by Sunshine in response to such acquisition proposal, and all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such takeover proposal, including all conditions contained therein and the person making such proposal, is more favorable to the shareholders of FBC from a financial point of view than the merger with Sunshine. |
88
FBC has agreed to promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, notify Sunshine in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, FBC or any of its representatives, in each case in connection with any acquisition proposal and to keep Sunshine informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request). FBC has also agreed to provide Sunshine with any non-public information about FBC or any of its subsidiaries provided to any other person that was not previously provided to Sunshine, no later than the date provided to such other person.
In addition, under the merger agreement, FBC agreed that its board of directors, or any committee of the board, will not, prior to the date of the special meeting of shareholders:
| • | | withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Sunshine in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (including the merger), its recommendation that FBC shareholders vote to approve the merger agreement (including failing to reaffirm its recommendation if requested by Sunshine); |
| • | | approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any acquisition proposal; or |
| • | | enter into any letter of intent, or other agreement related to any acquisition transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement) or requiring FBC to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the merger or any other transaction contemplated by the merger agreement; |
unless, the FBC board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that (1) an unsolicited acquisition proposal that FBC received (that did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement) constitutes a superior proposal and (2) it is reasonably necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the FBC shareholders under applicable law. In the event that the FBC board makes this determination, FBC must provide five business days’ prior written notice to Sunshine that its board has made such determination. During the five business days after Sunshine’s receipt of such notice, FBC and its board must cooperate and negotiate in good faith with Sunshine to make any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement as would enable FBC to proceed with its board’s original recommendation with respect to the merger agreement. At the end of the five business day period, and after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been proposed by Sunshine during that period, the FBC board must again determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that:
| • | | it is reasonably necessary to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify its recommendation with respect to the merger agreement to comply with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law; and |
| • | | the acquisition proposal is a superior proposal. |
In the event of any material revisions to the superior proposal, FBC must provide a new notice of such superior proposal to Sunshine. During the three business day period following receipt of such new written notice, FBC and its board must cooperate and negotiate in good faith with Sunshine to make any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement as would enable FBC to proceed with its board’s original recommendation with respect to the merger agreement without requiring FBC to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify its board’s recommendation with respect to the merger agreement.
Termination; Amendment
The merger agreement may be terminated prior to the closing, before or after approval by Sunshine stockholders or FBC shareholders, for various reasons, including the following:
| • | | by mutual consent of the boards of directors of Sunshine and FBC; |
89
| • | | by either party if any required regulatory approvals for consummation of the merger are not obtained; |
| • | | by either party if Sunshine stockholders or FBC shareholders do not approve the merger agreement; |
| • | | by a party who is not in material breach of the agreement if the other party (1) materially breaches any covenants or undertakings contained in the merger agreement or (2) materially breaches any representations or warranties contained in the merger agreement, in each case if such breach cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days after notice from the terminating party, or (ii) two business days before May 9, 2017; |
| • | | by either party if the merger has not occurred on or before May 9, 2017; |
| • | | by Sunshine, if the board of directors of FBC (1) materially breaches its non-solicitation obligations provided in the merger agreement, (2) fails to recommend, or withdraws its previous recommendation of, the merger and the merger agreement, (3) recommends, proposes or publicly announces its intention to recommend or propose to engage in an acquisition transaction with any person other than Sunshine, (4) fails to convene the special meeting, (5) fails to publicly recommend against an alternative acquisition proposal within five business days after being asked to do so by Sunshine, or (6) fails to publicly reconfirm its recommendation of the merger or the merger agreement with five business days after being asked to do so by Sunshine; |
| • | | by FBC, if the board of directors of Sunshine materially breaches its obligations to call, give notice of and commence the Sunshine special meeting; or |
| • | | by FBC, if Sunshine’s weighted average stock price, as calculated during the ten trading days prior to the determination date (i.e., the fourth calendar day prior to the closing of the merger, or if such day is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately preceding such calendar day), is (1) more than 20% lower than $14.03, which was the weighted average stock price of Sunshine’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of the merger agreement, and (2) such decrease in Sunshine’s stock price is more than 20% relative to the change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index on the corresponding dates, unless Sunshine agrees to increase the exchange ratio by a fixed percentage based on the relative price decrease of Sunshine’s common stock and the relative change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index. |
The merger agreement may be amended or modified at any time, before or after its approval by the parties’ stockholders, by mutual agreement, except that no amendment shall be made after the special meetings without obtaining stockholder approval if such amendment, by law, would require further approval by Sunshine stockholders or FBC shareholders.
Effect of Termination
If the merger agreement is terminated, it will become void and have no effect and the parties will be relieved of all obligations and liabilities, except that certain specified provisions of the agreement will survive and if the agreement is terminated because of a material breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the breaching party will not be relieved of liability for any breach giving rise to the termination, provided, however, if either party is required by the terms of the merger agreement, and does pay, either the termination fee or liquidated damages described below, then such party will have no further obligations under the merger agreement.
FBC will be required to pay a termination fee to Sunshine equal to $1.8 million, in the following circumstances:
| • | | Sunshine terminates the merger agreement because FBC (1) materially breaches its non-solicitation obligations provided in the merger agreement, subject to a five-day cure period, (2) fails to recommend, or withdraws its previous recommendation of, the merger and the merger agreement, (3) recommends, proposes or publicly announces its intention to recommend or propose to engage in an acquisition transaction with any person other than Sunshine, (4) materially breaches its obligations to convene the FBC special meeting, subject to a five-day cure period, or (5) fails to publicly reconfirm its recommendation of the merger or the merger agreement after being asked to do so by Sunshine; or |
90
| • | | in the event that (1) a third party acquisition proposal had been made known to FBC or made directly to its shareholders and not withdrawn, and thereafter the merger agreement is terminated (x) by either party because the FBC shareholders fail to approve the merger agreement or because the merger is not consummated by May 9, 2017 without the FBC shareholders having approved the merger, or (y) by Sunshine because of a material uncured breach by FBC of its representations, warranties or covenants under the merger agreement and (2) within twelve months after the date of termination, FBC consummates an acquisition transaction or enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition transaction (using 50% rather than 20% in the term “acquisition transaction” for purposes of this termination fee provision). |
Sunshine will be required to pay a termination fee to FBC equal to $1.8 million, in the following circumstances:
| • | | FBC terminates the merger agreement because Sunshine materially breaches its obligations to convene the Sunshine special meeting, subject to a five-day cure period; or |
| • | | in the event that there is a publicly announced offer to purchase at least 20% or more Sunshine’s or Sunshine Bank’s capital stock or consolidated assets, and thereafter the merger agreement is terminated by Sunshine because the Sunshine stockholders fail to approve the merger agreement. |
If the merger agreement is terminated by either party as a result of the other party’s material breaches of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the merger agreement, and such breach would result in the closing conditions not being satisfied, then the non-terminating party will be required to pay the terminating party $750,000 as liquidated damages (provided that, if the termination fee described above is also payable, the payment of such liquidated damages shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of the termination fee that would also be payable).
Effective Time of the Merger
The parties expect that the merger will be effective late in the third quarter of 2016 or in the fourth quarter of 2016, or as soon as possible after the receipt of all regulatory and stockholder approvals, all regulatory waiting periods expire and all other conditions to the completion of the merger have been satisfied or waived.
The merger will be legally completed by the filing of the Sunshine / FBC articles of merger with the Florida Secretary of State and the Maryland Secretary of State. If the merger is not consummated by May 9, 2017, and no consent to extend the date of consummation of the merger beyond such date has been granted by the party seeking to terminate, the merger agreement may be terminated by either Sunshine or FBC.
Fees and Expenses
Sunshine and FBC will each pay its own costs and expenses in connection with the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby except as described above.
FBC Shareholders Have Appraisal Rights
Holders of shares of FBC common stock as of the record date are entitled to appraisal rights under the FBCA. Pursuant to Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of the FBCA, a holder of FBC common stock who does not wish to accept the per share merger consideration (which we refer to as a “dissenting shareholder”) may dissent from the merger, seek appraisal and elect to receive the fair value of his, her or its shares as provided in such sections of the FBCA. You should know that, under the merger agreement, if holders of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of FBC common stock exercise appraisal rights, then Sunshine is not obligated to complete the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.
91
In order to exercise appraisal rights, a dissenting shareholder must strictly comply with the requirements and procedures set forth in Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of the FBCA, which are summarized below.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of the FBCA, a copy of which is included as Appendix F to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. FBC shareholders who desire to assert appraisal rights are cautioned that a failure on their part to adhere strictly to the requirements of the FBCA in any regard may result in the loss, termination or waiver of their appraisal rights. Accordingly, FBC shareholders are urged to read Appendix F in its entirety and to consult with their legal, financial and tax advisors in connection with the matters set forth in this section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes notice of appraisal rights pursuant to Section 607.1320 of the FBCA.
FBC shareholders who hold shares of FBC common stock through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee and wish to exercise appraisal rights should promptly consult their bank, broker or other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal through their nominee.
A dissenting shareholder who desires to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights must file with FBC, prior to the taking of the vote at the special meeting of FBC shareholders, a written notice of intent to demand payment for his, her or its shares if the merger is completed. Such written notice should be delivered either in person or by mail (certified mail, return receipt requested, being the recommended form of transmittal) to:
FBC Bancorp, Inc.
105 East Robinson Street
Orlando, Florida 32802
Attn: President and Chief Executive Officer, FBC Bancorp, Inc.
All such notices must be signed in the same manner as the shares are registered on the books of FBC. If a FBC shareholder has not provided written notice of such shareholder’s intent to demand the fair value of his, her or its shares of FBC common stock before a vote is taken at the special meeting on the proposal to approve the merger agreement, then such FBC shareholder will be deemed to have waived his, her or its appraisal rights.
A vote against the merger will not alone be deemed to be the written notice of intent to demand payment and will not be deemed to satisfy the notice requirements under the FBCA’s appraisal rights provisions. A dissenting shareholder need not vote against the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, but may not vote, or allow any nominee who holds shares on behalf of the dissenting shareholder to vote, in favor of such proposal any of the class or series of shares for which such shareholder is seeking appraisal rights. A vote in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger will constitute a waiver of the shareholder’s appraisal rights with respect to the class or series of shares voted.
Within ten (10) days after the merger becomes effective, Sunshine, as the surviving corporation in the merger, must provide to each FBC shareholder who filed with FBC a notice of intent to demand payment for his, her or its shares, a written appraisal notice and an appraisal election form that specifies the date when the merger became effective and provides for the shareholder to state:
| • | | the shareholder’s name and address; |
| • | | the number of shares of FBC common stock as to which the shareholder is asserting appraisal rights; |
| • | | that the shareholder did not vote for the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger; |
| • | | whether the shareholder accepts Sunshine’s offer to pay Sunshine’s estimate of the fair value of the shares of FBC common stock, to the shareholder; and |
| • | | if the shareholder does not accept Sunshine’s offer, the shareholder’s estimated fair value of the shares of FBC common stock and a demand for payment of the shareholder’s estimated value, plus interest. |
92
A written appraisal notice must specify, among other things:
| • | | where to return the completed appraisal election form and the shareholder’s stock certificate(s) and the date by which they must be received by Sunshine (as the surviving corporation in the merger) or its agent, which date may not be fewer than forty (40) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date Sunshine sent the appraisal notice and the appraisal election form to the shareholder; |
| • | | the date by which a notice from the FBC shareholder of his, her or its desire to withdraw from the appraisal process must be received by Sunshine, which date must be within twenty (20) days after the date by which Sunshine must receive the appraisal election form as set forth in the appraisal notice; and |
| • | | Sunshine’s estimate of the fair value of the shares of FBC common stock and Sunshine’s offer to pay such value to each dissenting shareholder entitled thereto. |
A dissenting shareholder must submit the appraisal election form and, with respect to certificated shares, the certificate(s) representing his, her or its shares of FBC common stock. Any dissenting shareholder failing to return a properly completed appraisal election form and his, her or its stock certificate(s) within the period stated in the form and in accordance with Sections 607.1301 et seq. of the FBCA will lose his, her or its appraisal rights and be bound by the terms of the merger agreement, including with respect to receipt of the merger consideration payable thereunder.
Upon returning the appraisal election form and the certificate(s) representing his, her or its shares of FBC common stock, a dissenting shareholder will be entitled only to payment pursuant to the procedure set forth in the applicable appraisal rights sections of the FBCA and will not be entitled to vote or to exercise any other rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, unless the dissenting shareholder withdraws his, her or its demand for appraisal as described below.
A dissenting shareholder who has delivered the appraisal election form and the certificate(s) representing his, her or its shares of FBC common stock, may decline to exercise appraisal rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by giving written notice to Sunshine (as the surviving corporation in the merger) within the time period specified in the appraisal notice and otherwise in accordance with Section 607.1323 of the FBCA. Thereafter, a dissenting shareholder may not withdraw from the appraisal process without the written consent of Sunshine. Upon such withdrawal from the appraisal process, the right of the dissenting shareholder to be paid the fair value of his, her or its shares will cease, and he, she or it will be reinstated as a shareholder and will be entitled to receive only the per share merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement.
If a dissenting shareholder accepts Sunshine’s offer in the appraisal election form to pay Sunshine’s estimate of the fair value of the shares of FBC common stock as applicable, payment for such shares of the dissenting shareholder is required to be made within ninety (90) days after the receipt by Sunshine or its agent of the shareholder’s appraisal election form. Upon payment of the agreed value, the dissenting shareholder will cease to have any interest in such shares.
A dissenting shareholder must demand appraisal rights with respect to all of the shares of the class or series for which such shareholder is seeking to assert appraisal rights. However, a record shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to fewer than all the shares of a class or series registered in such shareholder’s name but owned by a beneficial shareholder if the record shareholder objects with respect to all shares of such class or series owned by the beneficial shareholder and notifies Sunshine (as the surviving corporation in the merger) in writing of the name and address of the beneficial shareholder on whose behalf appraisal rights are being asserted. A beneficial shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to shares held on behalf of the beneficial shareholder only if such beneficial shareholder: (i) submits to Sunshine the record shareholder’s written consent to the assertion of such rights no later than the date specified in the appraisal notice and as set forth in Section 607.1322(2)(b)(2) of the FBCA, and (ii) does so with respect to all shares of a class or series that are beneficially owned by the beneficial shareholder.
93
Section 607.1330 of the FBCA addresses the court action in the event a dissenting shareholder, who did not accept Sunshine’s offer to pay Sunshine’s estimate of the fair value of the shares of FBC common stock, makes demand for payment of such shareholder’s estimated fair value of the shares, plus interest, under Section 607.1326 of the FBCA, which demand for payment remains unsettled. In such event, Sunshine (as the surviving corporation in the merger) must commence a proceeding within sixty (60) days after receiving the payment demand from the dissenting shareholder and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If Sunshine does not commence the proceeding within such sixty-day period, the shareholder may commence the proceeding in the name of Sunshine in the appropriate court of the county in the State of Florida in which the principal office or registered office of FBC was located as provided in Section 607.1330(2) of the FBCA.
A copy of the initial pleading will be served on each dissenting shareholder party to the proceeding. Sunshine will be required to pay each dissenting shareholder the amount found to be due within ten (10) days after final determination in the proceedings, which amount may, in the discretion of the court, include a fair rate of interest, which will also be determined by the court. Upon payment of the judgment, the dissenting shareholder will cease to have any interest in the shares for which such shareholder received payment.
Section 607.1331 of the FBCA provides that the costs of a court appraisal proceeding, including reasonable compensation for, and expenses of, appraisers appointed by the court, will be determined by the court and assessed against Sunshine, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenting shareholders, in amounts determined by the court, to the extent that the court finds such shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to their appraisal rights. The court also may assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable, against: (i) Sunshine and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds that Sunshine did not substantially comply with the notification provisions set forth in Sections 607.1320 and 607.1322 of the FBCA; or (ii) either Sunshine or a dissenting shareholder, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the appraisal rights provided under the FBCA. If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any dissenting shareholder were of substantial benefit to other dissenting shareholders, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against Sunshine, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenting shareholders who were benefited. To the extent that Sunshine fails to make a required payment when a dissenting shareholder accepts Sunshine’s offer to pay Sunshine’s estimate of the fair value of the shares, as provided in Section 607.1324 of the FBCA, the dissenting shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, will be entitled to recover from Sunshine all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.
Because of the complexity of the provisions of Florida law relating to appraisal rights, shareholders who are considering exercising appraisal rights are urged to consult their own legal, financial and tax advisors.
Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger
The parties to the merger agreement have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and governmental authorities that are necessary to consummate the merger, provided Sunshine shall not be required to agree to any Burdensome Condition (as defined in the merger agreement). This includes the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC. The application seeking the OCC’s approval was submitted for filing on June 27, 2016, and Sunshine filed an application with the Federal Reserve Board on August 10, 2016. There will also be notice filings with the FDIC and the Maryland Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, and a notice filing with the OCC for the closing of FBC’s downtown Orlando office. Such approvals require the observance by the parties of certain waiting periods following the agencies’ approvals before the merger may be consummated. Sunshine cannot assure that there will not be any litigation challenging the approvals or waivers. Sunshine also cannot assure that the United States Department of Justice or any state attorney general will not attempt to challenge the merger on antitrust grounds, or what the outcome will be if such a challenge is made.
94
Accounting Treatment
Sunshine will account for the merger using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this accounting method, Sunshine will record the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed at their fair market value at the time the merger is complete. Any excess of the cost of FBC over the sum of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Sunshine’s reported income will include the operations of FBC after the merger. Financial statements of Sunshine after completion of the merger will reflect the impact of the acquisition of FBC. Financial statements of Sunshine issued before completion of the merger will not be restated retroactively to reflect FBC historical financial position or results of operation.
Resale of Sunshine’s Common Stock
The shares of Sunshine common stock to be issued to stockholders of FBC under the merger agreement will be freely tradable by such stockholders without restriction, except that if any FBC shareholder is deemed to be an affiliate of Sunshine they must abide by certain transfer restrictions under the Securities Act.
95
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
The following discussion is a summary of the material anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined below) of FBC common stock with respect to the exchange of FBC common stock for Sunshine common stock pursuant to the merger. The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder and published rulings and decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretation. Tax considerations under foreign, state, local or federal laws other than those pertaining to income tax, or federal laws applicable to alternative minimum taxes, are not addressed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The parties intend for the merger to be treated as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Hacker, Johnson & Smith, PA, tax advisor to each of Sunshine and FBC, has provided an opinion to the effect that the merger will for federal income tax purposes qualify as a reorganization based upon the assumptions, representations, warranties and covenants made by Sunshine and FBC, including those contained in the merger agreement. This opinion will not be binding on the IRS or any court. Sunshine and FBC have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the IRS regarding any matters relating to the merger and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth below. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which the opinions are based are inconsistent with the actual facts, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger could be adversely affected.
For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner that is: an individual citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income-tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions; a trust that (i) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on its income regardless of its source.
This discussion addresses only those holders of FBC common stock that hold their FBC common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and does not address all the U.S. federal income-tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders of FBC common stock in light of their individual circumstances or to holders of FBC common stock that are subject to special rules, such as:
| • | | financial institutions; |
| • | | investors in pass-through entities; |
| • | | tax-exempt organizations; |
| • | | dealers in securities or currencies; |
| • | | traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting; |
| • | | persons that hold FBC common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction; |
| • | | regulated investment companies; |
| • | | real estate investment trusts; |
| • | | persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar; |
| • | | persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States; and |
| • | | holders who acquired their shares of FBC common stock through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation. |
96
If a partnership (or other entity that is taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) holds FBC common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships and partners in partnerships should consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences of the merger to them.
The actual tax consequences of the merger to you may be complex and will depend on your specific situation and on factors that are not within the control of Sunshine or FBC. You should consult with your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the merger in your particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax and any state, local or foreign and other tax laws and of changes in those laws.
Tax Consequences of the Merger Generally
The merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, assuming such tax treatment and subject to the limitations and qualifications described herein, the material U.S. federal income tax consequences will be as follows:
| • | | no gain or loss will be recognized by Sunshine or FBC as a result of the merger; |
| • | | except as discussed below with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Sunshine common stock, under “—Cash Received in Lieu of a Fractional Share of Sunshine Common Stock,” no gain or loss will be recognized by U.S. holders of FBC common stock who exchange all of their FBC common stock solely for Sunshine common stock pursuant to the merger; |
| • | | the aggregate basis of Sunshine common stock received by a U.S. holder of FBC common stock in the merger (including fractional shares of Sunshine common stock deemed received and redeemed as described below) will be the same as the aggregate basis of the FBC common stock for which it is exchanged; and |
| • | | the holding period of Sunshine common stock received in exchange for shares of FBC common stock (including fractional shares of Sunshine common stock deemed received and redeemed as described below) will include the holding period of the FBC common stock for which it is exchanged. |
If a U.S. holder of FBC common stock acquired different blocks of FBC common stock at different times or at different prices, any gain or loss will be determined separately with respect to each block of FBC common stock, and the shares of Sunshine common stock received will be allocated pro rata to each such block of stock. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Sunshine common stock received in the merger.
The U.S. federal income-tax consequences to each U.S. holder will not be ascertainable with certainty until such U.S. holder knows the precise number of shares of Sunshine common stock, and any amount of cash received in lieu of fractional shares, that such U.S. holder will receive in the merger.
Cash Received in Lieu of a Fractional Share of Sunshine Common Stock
A U.S. holder of FBC common stock who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of Sunshine common stock will be treated as having received the fractional share pursuant to the merger and then as having exchanged the fractional share for cash in a redemption by Sunshine. As a result, such U.S. holder of FBC common stock will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the basis in his or her fractional share interest as set forth above. The gain or loss recognized by the U.S. holders described in this paragraph will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective date of the merger, the holder’s holding period for the relevant shares is greater than one year. For holders of FBC common stock that are noncorporate holders, long-term capital gain generally will be taxed at a
97
U.S. federal income tax rate that is lower than the rate for ordinary income or for short-term capital gains. In addition, net investment income of certain high-income taxpayers may be subject to an additional 3.8% tax (i.e., the net investment income tax). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. See the discussion above regarding blocks of stock that were purchased at different times or at different prices.
Exercise of Stockholder Appraisal Rights
The discussion above does not apply to FBC stockholders who exercise appraisal rights with respect to the merger. A U.S. holder who exercises appraisal rights with respect to the merger and receives cash for shares of FBC common stock will generally recognize capital gain (or loss) measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the holder’s basis in those shares, provided that the payment is treated as a redemption pursuant to Section 302 of the Code, and not otherwise equivalent to a dividend. A sale of all FBC shares of common stock held by a U.S. holder, based on an exercise of appraisal rights or otherwise, will not be treated as a dividend if the U.S. holder exercising appraisal rights owns no shares (or is not deemed to own any shares) of FBC or Sunshine immediately after the merger, after giving effect to the constructive ownership rules pursuant to the Code. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the FBC shares surrendered is more than one year. The determination whether a cash payment will be treated as having the effect of a dividend depends primarily upon the facts and circumstances of each U.S. holder. U.S. holders exercising appraisal rights who will own shares in Sunshine immediately following the merger (after taking into account the constructive ownership rules) are urged to consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences to the U.S. holder of receiving cash pursuant to the merger.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Payments of cash to a U.S. holder of FBC common stock pursuant to the merger may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or, in the case of backup withholding, furnishes its correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld from payments to a U.S. holder under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and generally will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the U.S. holder timely furnishes certain required information to the IRS.
A U.S. holder of FBC common stock who receives Sunshine common stock as a result of the merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger. Each U.S. holder of FBC common stock who is required to file a U.S. federal income tax return and who is a “significant holder” that receives Sunshine common stock in the merger will be required to file a statement with such U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3 setting forth information regarding the parties to the merger, the date of the merger, such holder’s basis in the FBC common stock surrendered and the fair market value of Sunshine common stock and cash received in the merger. A “significant holder” is a holder of FBC common stock who, immediately before the merger, owned at least 1% of the outstanding stock of FBC or securities of FBC with a basis for federal income tax purposes of at least $1 million.
The preceding discussion is intended only as a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. This discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances. It is not a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects that may be important to you. Moreover, it does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend upon the facts of your particular situation. Accordingly, we strongly urge you to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you resulting from the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of all federal, state, local, foreign and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

EQUITY PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
AMENDMENT OF SUNSHINE’S 2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Sunshine’s board of directors recommends the amendment of its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to (i) increase the total number of shares of Sunshine’s common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan from 592,480 shares to 742,480 shares; (ii) remove the cap on the aggregate number of options and restricted stock awards that can be made under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (subject to the cap on the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan); (iii) update and increase the annual award limitations for non-employee directors on an individual and aggregate basis; and (iv) permit the assumption of awards and subsequent issuance of replacement awards by Sunshine in connection with any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of property or stock. Shares underlying replacement awards (i.e., awards granted as replacements for awards granted by a company that Sunshine subsequently acquires or with which Sunshine combines, including FBC) would not reduce the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.
Sunshine’s board of directors has determined that the amendment, including the increase in the total number of shares available for issuance and the corresponding increase in the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, is beneficial to Sunshine and its stockholders. In connection with the overall increase, Sunshine’s board of directors believes that it would be beneficial to simplify and consolidate the various limitations on issuances of types of award, although the board of directors anticipates that restricted stock and restricted stock units will be granted sparingly, even in the absence of a cap on such types of awards. The increase in the annual limits for awards to the non-employee directors (both on an individual and aggregate basis) reflects the overall increase in the total shares reserved under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the expansion of Sunshine’s board of directors in connection with the consummation of the merger with FBC. Sunshine’s board of directors believes these changes are necessary to assume the FBC options and issue Sunshine options upon completion of the merger to those individuals who currently hold options to purchase shares of FBC common stock, as provided for in the merger agreement, as well as to give Sunshine the flexibility it needs to attract new employees as Sunshine continues to grow and to have the ability to continue to reward employees with such incentive compensation, and encourage such valued employees to acquire a proprietary interest in Sunshine and to remain in its employ and service. As of June 30, 2016, 71,806 stock options and 8,706 shares of restricted stock remain available for award from the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

SUNSHINE’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT
SUNSHINE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENTS OF SUNSHINE’S
2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.
The following is a summary of the material features of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan as currently in effect and without giving effect to the proposed amendments and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the plan. In the event the description of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is inconsistent with terms of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the terms of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will control.
General
Subject to permitted adjustments for certain corporate transactions, the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan currently authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 592,480 shares of Sunshine common stock pursuant to grants of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of Sunshine common stock that may currently be issued under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 423,200 shares, and the maximum number of shares of Sunshine common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 169,280 shares.
The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the members of Sunshine’s Compensation Committee who are “Disinterested Board Members,” as defined in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Committee”). The Committee has full and exclusive power within the limitations set forth in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to make all decisions and determinations regarding: (i) the selection of participants and the granting of awards; (ii) establishing the terms and conditions relating to each award; (iii) adopting rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan’s purposes; and (iv) interpreting the provisions of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and any award agreement. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan also permits the Committee to delegate all or part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, unless prohibited by applicable law.
Eligibility
Employees and directors of Sunshine or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, except that non-employees may not be granted incentive stock options. Members of any advisory board to Sunshine’s board of directors or its subsidiaries are also eligible to receive awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.
Types of Awards
The Committee may determine the type and terms and conditions of awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which will be set forth in award agreements delivered to participants. Awards may be granted as incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or any combination thereof, as follows:
Stock Options.A stock option gives the recipient or “optionee” the right to purchase shares of Sunshine’s common stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The exercise price may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. Fair market value for purposes of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan means the final sales price of Sunshine’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq on the date the option is granted, or if Sunshine’s common stock was not traded on such date, then on the day prior to such date or on the next preceding day on which Sunshine’s common stock was traded, and without regard to after-hours trading activity. The Committee will determine the fair market value, in accordance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, if it cannot bedetermined in the manner described herein. Further, the Committee may not grant a stock option with a term that is longer than 10 years.
100
Stock options are either “incentive” stock options or “non-qualified” stock options. Incentive stock options have certain tax advantages and must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Shares of common stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for in full at the time of exercise either: (i) by tendering, either actually or constructively by attestation, shares of stock valued at fair market value as of the day of exercise; (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell shares of stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the stock option and to remit to Sunshine a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (iii) by a net settlement of the stock option, using a portion of the shares obtained on exercise in payment of the exercise price of the stock option (and if applicable, any minimum required tax withholding); (iv) by personal, certified or cashier’s check; (v) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (vi) by any combination thereof.
Restricted Stock.A restricted stock award is a grant of common stock, subject to vesting requirements, to a participant for no consideration or minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law. Restricted stockawards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will be granted only in whole shares of common stock and are subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions established by the Committee as set forth in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan or the award agreement. Awards will be evidenced by award agreements approved by the Committee, which set forth the terms and conditions of each award. Prior to their vesting, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the recipient of a restricted stock award may exercise any voting rights with respect to common stock subject to an award and receive any dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock.
Restricted Stock Units.Restricted stock units are similar to restricted stock awards except that no shares of common stock are actually issued to the award recipient at the time of grant. Restricted stock units are denominated in shares of common stock. Restricted stock units granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will be settled in shares of Sunshine common stock or, in the sole discretion of the Committee determined at the time of settlement, in cash or a combination thereof, and are subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions set forth in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan or the recipient’s award agreement. Participants have no voting rights with respect to any restricted stock units granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. No dividends will be paid on restricted stock units. In the sole discretion of the Committee exercised at the time of grant, dividend equivalent rights may be paid on restricted stock units. If a restricted stock unit is intended to be qualified performance-based compensation in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, payment of dividend equivalent rights to the award recipient will be conditioned on the satisfaction of the underlying performance criteria. Dividend equivalent rights will be paid when the restricted stock unit is settled or at the same time as the shares subject to such restricted stock unit are distributed to the participant.
Performance Awards.A performance award is a restricted stock award or restricted stock unit, the vesting of which is subject to the achievement of one or more performance conditions specified by the Committee and set forth in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. If a performance reward is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, it must be made during the period required by, and comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. At the discretion of the Committee, the vesting of any stock option also may be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures.
Prohibition Against Repricing of Options.The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan provides that neither the Committee nor the Sunshine board of directors is authorized to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of a stock option previously granted, except for adjustments pursuant to certain corporate transactions.
101
Limitations on Awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan currently includes the following limitations:
| • | | The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be available for awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is currently 592,480 shares, of which up to 423,200 shares may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 169,280 shares may be issued pursuant to restricted stock awards or restricted stock units. |
| • | | The maximum number of shares of Sunshine common stock that may be subject to stock options granted to any one employee during any calendar year is 105,800. |
| • | | The maximum number of shares of Sunshine common stock, in the aggregate, that may be subject to stock options granted to any one individual non-employee director under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan shall be 21,160, all of which may be granted during any calendar year and, in addition, all non-employee directors, in the aggregate, may not receive more than 126,960 shares, all of which may be granted during any calendar year. |
| • | | The maximum number of shares of Sunshine common stock, in the aggregate, that may be subject to restricted stock awards or restricted stock units granted to any one individual non-employee director under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan shall be 8,464, all of which may be granted during any calendar year and, in addition, all non-employee directors, in the aggregate, may not receive more than 50,784 shares, all of which may be granted during any calendar year. |
If any shares of Sunshine common stock covered by an award (including restricted stock and restricted stock units) under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan are not delivered to a participant or beneficiary because the award is forfeited or cancelled or because a stock option is not exercised, then such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of common stock available for delivery under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. However, to the extent: (i) a stock option is exercised by using an actual or constructive exchange of shares of common stock to pay the exercise price; (ii) shares of common stock are withheld to satisfy withholding taxes upon exercise or vesting of an award granted under the plan; or (iii) shares are withheld to satisfy the exercise price of stock options in a net settlement of stock options, then the number of shares of common stock available shall be reduced by the gross number of shares issued rather than the net number of shares issued.
In the event of a corporate transaction involving the common stock of Sunshine, including, without limitation, any recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares, or other securities, stock dividend or other special and non-recurring dividend or distribution (whether in the form of cash, securities, or other property), liquidation, dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event, the foregoing share limitations and all outstanding awards will be adjusted by the Committee, in an equitable manner, proportionally and uniformly to reflect such event to the extent that the adjustment will not affect the award’s status as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, if applicable.
Performance Features
General.Sunshine generally will be unable to deduct for federal income tax purposes annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to its chief executive officer and other executive officers named in the summary compensation table of Sunshine’s annual proxy statement (excluding any officer who is listed on the table due to serving as the principal financial officer of the Sunshine). However, amounts that constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” (as that term is used in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) are not counted toward the $1.0 million limit. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is designed so that stock options will be considered qualified performance-based compensation. The Committee may designate whether any restricted stock awards or restricted stock units granted to any participant are intended to be qualified performance-based
102
compensation. Any restricted stock awards or restricted stock units designated as qualified performance-based compensation will be conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance measures, to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Performance Measures.The performance measures that may be used for such awards will be based on any one or more of the following performance measures, as selected by the Committee: book value or tangible book value per share; basic earnings per share; basic cash earnings per share; diluted earnings per share; diluted cash earnings per share; return on equity; net income or net income before taxes; cash earnings; net interest income; non-interest income; non-interest expense to average assets ratio; cash general and administrative expense to average assets ratio; efficiency ratio; cash efficiency ratio; return on average assets; cash return on average assets; return on average stockholders’ equity; cash return on average stockholders’ equity; return on average tangible stockholders’ equity; cash return on average tangible stockholders’ equity; core earnings; operating income; operating efficiency ratio; net interest rate margin or net interest rate spread; growth in assets, loans, or deposits; loan production volume; non-performing loans; cash flow; strategic business objectives consisting of one or more objectives based upon meeting specified cost targets, business expansion goals, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures, or goals relating to capital raising and capital management; or any combination of the foregoing performance measures. Performance measures may be based on the performance of Sunshine as a whole or of any one or more subsidiaries or business units of Sunshine or a subsidiary, may be measured relativeto a peer group, an index or a business plan and may be considered as absolute measures or changes in measures. The Committee may adjust performance measures after they have been set, but with respect to awards intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, only to the extent the adjustment has a negative impact on the participant’s achievement of one or more performance measures. In establishing the performance measures, the Committee may provide for the inclusion or exclusion of certain items. Additionally, the grant of an award intended to be qualified performance-based compensation and the establishment of any performance-based measures shall be made during the period required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Vesting of Awards
The Committee shall specify the vesting schedule or conditions of each award. Unless the Committee specifies a different vesting schedule at the time of grant, awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, other than performance awards, shall be granted with a vesting rate not exceeding 20% per year, with the first installment vesting no earlier than one year after the date of grant of the award. If the vesting of an award under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of service with Sunshine or its subsidiaries, without the achievement of performance measures or objectives, then the required period of service for full vesting shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced in an award agreement. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of death, disability, or upon a change in control, or at the discretion of the Committee at any time.
Change in Control
Unless otherwise stated in an award agreement, at the time of a change in control of Sunshine or Sunshine Bank, all stock options then held by the participant shall become fully earned and exercisable (subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the stock option) and all awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units shall become fully earned and vested immediately. In addition, any performance measure attached to a performance award under the 2015 Equity Incentive plan shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the change in control.
Amendment and Termination
Sunshine’s board of directors may, as permitted by law, at any time amend or terminate the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan or any award granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. However, except as provided in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, no amendment or termination may adversely impair the rights of an outstanding
103
award without the participant’s (or affected beneficiaries) written consent. Sunshine’s board of directors may not amend the provision of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan related to repricing, materially increase the aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (other than as provided in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan), materially increase the benefits accruing to a participant, or materially modify the requirements for participation in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, without approval of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sunshine’s board may, without stockholder approval, amend the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan at any time, retroactively or otherwise, to ensure that the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan complies with current or future law and Sunshine’s board of directors may unilaterally amend the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and any outstanding award, without participant consent, in order to maintain an exemption from, or to comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations and guidance.
Duration of Plan
The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will remain in effect as long as any awards under it are outstanding; however, no awards may be granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan after the day immediately prior to the 10-year anniversary of the effective date of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. At any time, Sunshine’s board of directors may terminate the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. However, any termination of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will not affect outstanding awards.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences that may arise in conjunction with participation in the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.
Non-Qualified Stock Options.The grant of a non-qualified stock option will not result in taxable income to the participant. Except as described below, the participant will realize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired over the exercise price for those shares, and Sunshine will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for tax purposes. Gains or losses realized by the participant upon disposition of such shares will be treated as capital gains and losses, with the basis in such shares equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise.
Incentive Stock Options.The grant of an incentive stock option will not result in taxable income to the participant. The exercise of an incentive stock option will not result in taxable income to the participant provided the participant was, without a break in service, an employee of Sunshine or a subsidiary during the period beginning on the date of the grant of the option and ending on the date three months prior to the date of exercise (one year prior to the date of exercise if the participant is disabled, as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code). Sunshine will not be entitled to a tax deduction upon the exercise of an incentive stock option.
The excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of the exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price is an adjustment that is included in the calculation of the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income for the tax year in which the incentive stock option is exercised. For purposes of determining the participant’s alternative minimum tax liability for the year of disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to the incentive stock option exercise, the participant will have a basis in those shares equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise.
Provided, a participant does not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares within two years from the date of the grant of an incentive stock option or within one year after the exercise of such stock option, then, upon disposition of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the exercise price will be taxed as a capital gain. A capital loss will be recognized to the extent that the amount realized is less than the exercise price.
If the foregoing holding period requirements are not met, a participant will generally recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition of the shares in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the excess of the fair
104
market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price; or (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount realized upon disposition of the shares over the exercise price, and Sunshine will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. If the amount realized exceeds the value of the shares on the date of exercise, any additional amount will be a capital gain. If the amount realized at the time of disposition is less than the exercise price, the participant will recognize no income, and a capital loss will be recognized equal to the excess of the exercise price over the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares.
Restricted Stock.A participant who has been granted a restricted stock award will not realize taxable income at the time of grant, provided that the stock subject to the award is not delivered at the time of grant, or if the stock is delivered, it is subject to restrictions that constitute a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for federal income tax purposes. Upon the later of delivery or vesting of shares subject to an award, the holder will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the then fair market value of those shares and Sunshine will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for tax purposes. Gains or losses realized by the participant upon disposition of such shares will be treated as capital gains and losses, with the basis in such shares equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of delivery or vesting. Any dividends paid to the holder during the restriction period will also be compensation income to the participant, and Sunshine will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for tax purposes. A participant who makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code will include in taxable income in the year of grant at the grant date fair market value the full fair market value of the restricted stock award subject to such election.
Restricted Stock Units.A participant who has been granted a restricted stock unit will not realize taxable income at the time of grant and will not be entitled to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code since no stock is actually transferred to the recipient on the date of grant. At the time a restricted stock unit vests, assuming the award of common stock or cash is distributed at that time, the recipient will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock or the amount of cash received. If the restricted stock unit is not distributed at the time it vests, no income will be recognized at that time and taxation will be deferred until the common stock or cash associated with the restricted stock unit is distributed. At the time the recipient recognizes taxable income on a restricted stock unit, Sunshine will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction in the same amount recognized by the award recipient.
Withholding of Taxes.Sunshine may withhold amounts from participants to satisfy withholding tax requirements. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, participants may have shares withheld from awards to satisfy the minimum tax withholding requirements.
Change in Control.Any acceleration of the vesting or payment of awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan in the event of a change in control may cause part or all of the consideration involved to be treated as an “excess parachute payment” under the Internal Revenue Code, which may subject the participant to a 20% excise tax and preclude Sunshine from deducting such awards for tax purposes.
Deduction Limits.Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits Sunshine’s ability to deduct for tax purposes compensation in excess of $1.0 million per year for each of its chief executive officer and other executive officers named in the summary compensation table of Sunshine’s annual proxy statement (excluding any officer who is listed due to serving as principal financial officer of Sunshine) (“covered employees”), unless the compensation is “qualified performance-based consideration.” “Qualified performance-based compensation” is not subject to this limit and is fully deductible by Sunshine “Qualified performance-based compensation” is compensation that is subject to a number of requirements such as stockholder approval of possible performance goals and objective quantification of those goals in advance. Restricted stock awards and other awards that are not subject to performance goals would be subject to this deduction limit if income recognized on the awards plus other compensation of the covered employee that is subject to the limit exceeds $1.0 million. Stock options available for award under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” even if such awards vest solely due to the passage of time during the performance of services.
105
Accordingly, if an award is not exempt from Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, income recognized on such award by a covered employee will be subject to the $1.0 million deduction limit on compensation.
In the case of awards granted to a covered employee that are not “qualified performance-based consideration” and are distributed after the covered employee’s retirement or other termination of employment, the $1.0 million deduction limit will not apply and the award will be fully deductible. Performance awards may provide for accelerated vesting upon death, disability, or a change in control and still be considered exempt from the $1.0 million deduction limit. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is designed so that stock options and performance-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that are subject to performance goals may qualify as qualified performance-based compensation that is not subject to the $1.0 million deduction limit. The Committee may take these deduction limits into account in setting the size and the terms and conditions of awards, and may decide to grant awards that result in executive compensation that exceeds the deduction limit.
Tax Advice.The preceding discussion is based on federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the federal income tax aspects of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. A participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.
Accounting Treatment
Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Sunshine is required to recognize compensation expense in its financial statements over the requisite service period or performance period based on the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation (such as restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units).
Required Vote
In order to approve the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will have no impact on the proposal.
Clawback Policy
Awards granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan are subject to Sunshine’s clawback policy. The clawback policy would allow Sunshine to recover equity awards granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to any covered officer (Sunshine’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and any other officer of Sunshine or Sunshine Bank who is designated as a “named executive officer” under the federal securities laws) during the three-year period preceding the date on which Sunshine is required to prepare an accounting restatement based on erroneous data, subject to the Committee’s determination that the amount of awards granted to the covered officers would have been less had the awards been calculated based on such restated financial statements.
Equity Retention Policy
Unless the Committee provides otherwise, shares received under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan must be held at least one year following the exercise date (with respect to stock options) or the vesting date (with respect to restricted stock and restricted stock units), provided, however, that such requirement will not apply to the disposition of stock to pay the exercise price of any stock option or to satisfy any tax obligations related to the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this equity retention policy does not apply with respect to awards granted to a participant in the event of: (i) the participant’s termination of service; or (ii) a change in control.
106
New Plan Benefits
Equity Awards Made in Fiscal Year 2015.Sunshine cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to awards that may be granted in the future to participants under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan because awards under the plan are discretionary. The following table sets forth information with respect to equity awards made in fiscal year 2015 under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan in effect to each of (1) Sunshine’s Named Executive Officers, (2) all current Sunshine executive officers as a group, (3) Sunshine’s current non-executive officer directors as a group, and (4) all Sunshine employees other than executive officers as a group.

SUNSHINE’S BUSINESS
Sunshine
Sunshine was formed on March 7, 2014 to serve as the savings and loan holding company for Sunshine Bank, a federal savings bank. Sunshine was incorporated as a Maryland corporation and owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sunshine Bank as a result of the conversion from mutual to stock form of Sunshine Bank on July 14, 2014. Also on July 14, 2014, Sunshine completed its initial public offering of common stock. In the offering, Sunshine sold a total of 4,232,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $42.3 million in gross offering proceeds. Sunshine has not engaged in any business to date other than owning the common stock of Sunshine Bank. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine had total consolidated assets of $514.7 million, total deposits of $395.3 million and total stockholders’ equity of $72.2 million. Sunshine’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SBCP.”
On June 30, 2015, Sunshine acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Community Southern Holdings, Inc. for cash of $30.3 million, through an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “CSH Merger”). Community Southern Holdings, Inc. was merged into Sunshine and Community Southern Bank was merged into Sunshine Bank. Sunshine acquired $250.4 million in assets and assumed $214.4 million in liabilities and stockholders’ equity and exchanged $5.7 million in preferred stock of Sunshine to the U.S. Treasury as part of its Small Business Lending Fund. The preferred stock was subsequently redeemed on September 30, 2015 at its par value of $5.7 million. Sunshine acquired these assets and assumed the liabilities to expand its market presence to Polk and Orange Counties, Florida and to strengthen its position along the demographically attractive I-4 corridor. Sunshine incurred approximately $1.3 million in acquisition related expenses which are included in other noninterest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Sunshine also recorded an identifiable intangible asset representing the core deposit base of Community Southern Bank based on management’s evaluation of the cost of such deposits relative to alternative funding sources. Management used market quotations to measure the fair value of investment securities and FHLB advances of Community Southern Holdings.
On November 13, 2015, pursuant to a purchase and assumption agreement signed July 16, 2015, Sunshine Bank assumed the deposits and acquired certain loans from two branch offices of First Federal Bank of Florida. The branch offices are located in Bradenton and Sarasota, Florida. The purchase and assumption added $47.0 million in deposits and $7.9 million in loans to Sunshine Bank. Sunshine Bank also purchased the real estate property and some selected fixed assets associated with the branches. Sunshine acquired these assets and assumed the liabilities to expand its market presence to Manatee County, Florida and to capitalize on the demographically attractive I-75 corridor between Tampa and Sarasota, Florida.
Sunshine’s main office is located at 102 West Baker Street, Plant City, Florida 33563, and its telephone number at this address is (813) 752-6193. Sunshine’s website address is www.mysunshinebank.com. Information on Sunshine’s website is not incorporated into, and should not be considered part of, this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Sunshine Bank
Sunshine Bank is a federal stock savings bank. It was first organized in 1954 as a federal mutual savings and loan association under the name First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Plant City. In 1975, Sunshine Bank changed its name to Sunshine State Federal Savings and Loan Association. In connection with the initial offering of Sunshine’s shares, Sunshine Bank changed its charter from a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal stock savings bank and changed its name to Sunshine State Bank. In 2014, Sunshine Bank changed its name to Sunshine Bank. Sunshine Bank is a financial services institution focused on positively impacting the consumers, businesses, and non-profits throughout central Florida by creating financial success for its customers. Sunshine Bank’s competitive advantage is its ability to attract and retain employees, who are passionate about providing uncompromising service with a sense of warmth, integrity, friendliness, and company spirit.
109
Effective October 14, 2014, Sunshine and Sunshine Bank appointed Andrew S. Samuel, President and Chief Executive Officer. The hiring of Mr. Samuel, who was formerly President and Chief Executive Officer of Susquehanna Bank, was part of the board of directors’ long-term strategy to continue to transform Sunshine Bank from a traditional thrift lender into a full-service community bank with an increased focus on commercial lending. Following Mr. Samuel’s appointment, the board of directors of Sunshine Bank reconstituted the senior management of Sunshine Bank by adding bankers who have many years of experience in both commercial lending and integrating banks through acquisition. Recent new hires included a new Chief Financial Officer, a new Chief Risk Officer, a new Executive Vice President Director of Sales and Marketing, and a new Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. In addition, four new appointments have been made to the board of directors of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank to further expand the breadth of experience. Sunshine believes these management changes will further both its strategies for organic growth and growth by acquisition.
Sunshine Bank’s principal business has historically consisted of attracting retail deposits from the general public in its market area and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in one-to-four family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and to a lesser extent, multi-family real estate, land and construction and consumer loans. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, Sunshine Bank changed its business strategy to focus on increasing its originations of commercial real estate and commercial business loans and to discontinue originating new fixed rate one-to-four family residential real estate loans for retention in its portfolio. As Sunshine Bank continues to transition from its roots as a residential mortgage lender to a full service commercial bank, residential mortgages are now being originated and sold through broker relationships while balance sheet growth is coming primarily from commercial real estate and commercial loan originations. Sunshine Bank continues to originate home equity loans and recently introduced a home equity line of credit product.
Sunshine Bank also invests in securities, which consist primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities and securities and obligations of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (“GSE”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Sunshine Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts to consumers and businesses, including savings accounts, demand accounts, money market accounts and certificate of deposit accounts. Sunshine Bank also offers online banking services, remote deposit capture, mobile banking, debit and credit card services, and lockbox services for commercial and nonprofit customers. Sunshine Bank provides financial services to individuals, families and businesses primarily located in Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Manatee, and Orange Counties, Florida. Sunshine Bank’s main office is located at 102 West Baker Street, Plant City, Florida 33563, and its telephone number at this address is (813) 752-6193.
Market Area
Sunshine Bank conducts its operations from its main office and eleven full-service banking offices located in Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Manatee, and Orange County, Florida. Sunshine Bank’s primary deposit market includes the areas surrounding its banking offices in Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Sarasota, and Manatee Counties, Florida. Sunshine Bank’s primary lending market includes Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Sarasota, Manatee, and Orange Counties and the surrounding communities. Sunshine Bank occasionally makes loans secured by properties located outside of its primary lending market, usually to borrowers with whom it has an existing relationship and who have a presence within Sunshine Bank’s primary market. Sunshine Bank’s primary markets in Central Florida are primarily suburban and rural and contain a diverse cross section of economic sectors, with a mix of retail, agriculture, services, health care facilities and vacation and retirement communities.
Sunshine Bank continues to pursue a three year plan that focuses on organic and strategic growth in the market area from Sarasota north on Interstate 75 to Tampa and then East on Interstate 4 to Orlando. Sunshine Bank manages its banking operations as separate regions. Regions are based on geographic market, which allows each region to retain flexibility and local leadership in the unique communities served by Sunshine Bank. Sunshine Bank believes that this approach differentiates it from other large competitors because it gives Sunshine Bank greater flexibility to better serve its markets and increase responsiveness to the needs of local customers.
110
Competition
Sunshine Bank faces significant competition within its markets both in making loans and attracting deposits. Sunshine Bank’s market area has a high concentration of financial institutions, including large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of Sunshine Bank’s competitors offer products and services that it currently does not offer, such as trust services and private banking. Sunshine Bank’s competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, and credit unions. Sunshine Bank faces additional competition for deposits from short-term money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies.
As of June 30, 2015 (the latest date for which information is available), Sunshine Bank’s deposit market share was less than 1.0% of total deposits in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Polk, and Orange Counties, Florida.
Lending Activities
General.Sunshine Bank’s principal lending activity has historically been the origination of one-to-four family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and to a lesser extent, multi-family real estate, land and construction loans and consumer loans. Sunshine Bank’s primary business had been the origination of one-to-four family residential real estate loans, the majority of which have been fixed-rate loans. At June 30, 2016, residential real estate loans totaled $63.2 million, comprising 16.9% of the gross loan portfolio. Historically, Sunshine Bank has retained in its portfolio nearly all of the loans that it originated. After considering its interest-rate risk position, local market conditions, the yield on its loan portfolio and its asset quality, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, Sunshine Bank changed its business strategy to focus on increasing originations of commercial real estate and commercial business loans. Sunshine Bank now generally originates all new fixed rate one-to-four family residential real estate loans for sale. Sunshine Bank takes and processes loan applications for one-to-four family residential real estate loans, but allow third party mortgage companies to underwrite and close such loans and pay Sunshine Bank a commission. Sunshine Bank expects to target its commercial loan products to small business customers in its market area. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Strategy” for more information regarding Sunshine Bank’s strategy for lending activities.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority.Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that Sunshine Bank is permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 15% of Sunshine Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the amount in excess of 15% is secured by “readily marketable highly liquid collateral” or 30% for certain residential development loans). Sunshine Bank’s
113
legal lending was $9.3 million at June 30, 2016. In addition, Sunshine Bank has established an in-house target that is less than the legal limits on loans to one borrower. The in-house target was $5.0 million at June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank’s largest credit relationship totaled $7.0 million, secured by income producing properties. At June 30, 2016, this relationship was performing in accordance with its loan terms. The second largest relationship, a loan to an unaffiliated bank holding company, totaled $7.0 million and is secured by an income producing property. At June 30, 2016, the loan was performing in accordance with its current terms.
Sunshine Bank’s lending activities follow written, nondiscriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the Sunshine Bank board of directors. In the approval process for residential loans, Sunshine Bank assesses the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the property securing the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, Sunshine Bank reviews the borrower’s income and expenses and employment and credit history. In the case of commercial real estate loans, Sunshine Bank also reviews projected income, expenses and the viability of the project being financed. Sunshine Bank generally requires appraisals of all real property securing loans. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers who are approved by the board of directors. Sunshine Bank generally requires borrowers to obtain title insurance or an ownership and encumbrance report relating to the title of the property. All real estate secured loans generally require fire and casualty insurance and, if warranted, flood insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the maximum amount available. Sunshine Bank’s loan approval policies and limits are also established by the board of directors. All loans originated by Sunshine Bank are subject to its underwriting guidelines.
Sunshine Bank has established the Officer’s Loan Committee (OLC) to be able to more efficiently service its commercial customers, prudently manage credit risks, and effectively insure that credit policies are adhered to. The OLC includes the SVP, Credit Administration, the Chief Risk Officer, Regional Presidents and the Chief Lending Officer & Director of Sales and Marketing. Each of these individuals has extensive experience in the approval of commercial loans. The OLC has authority to approve loans beginning over $500,000 up to and including $3.0 million. In addition, the Director’s Loan Committee (DLC) has authority to approve loans over $3.0 million up to the legal lending limit of Sunshine Bank (with the exception of Regulation O (insider) loans which need to be approved by the board of directors).
The loan approval structure prohibits any single signature loan authority. Dual signatures are in effect up to $500,000. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Risk Officer have been given dual signature authority up to $3.0 million in situations where timing is essential. These approvals must be ratified by OLC at the next meeting.
Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Lending.At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $224.2 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, representing 59.8% of its total loan portfolio.
Sunshine Bank’s commercial real estate and multi-family loans generally have amortization terms of 15 to 25 years and have adjustable interest rates. The adjustable rate loans are typically fixed for the first five years and either adjust annually thereafter or have a balloon payment due at the end of the fixed term. Sunshine Bank’s commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally tied to a margin above the appropriate three or five year treasury. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of Sunshine Bank’s commercial real estate and multifamily loans is generally 80% of the lower of cost or appraised value of the property securing the loan. The commercial real estate loans are typically secured by multifamily, hotel, agricultural, medical, retail, churches or other commercial properties. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $119.6 million of non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, $84.2 million of owner occupied loans, and $15.2 million were secured by multi-family loans.
At June 30, 2016, the average loan balance of Sunshine Bank’s outstanding commercial real estate and multi-family loans was $621,000, and the largest of such loans was a $5.4 million loan secured by a self-storage facility. At June 30, 2016, this loan was performing in accordance with its loan terms.

Sunshine Bank considers a number of factors in originating commercial real estate and multi-family loans. Sunshine Bank evaluates the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows, credit history, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, Sunshine Bank considers the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with Sunshine Bank and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors Sunshine Bank considers include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). Sunshine Bank generally require a debt service ratio of at least 1.25x.
Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate and multi-family loan borrowers, although this requirement may be waived in limited circumstances depending upon the loan-to-value ratio and the debt service ratio associated with the loan. Sunshine Bank requires property and casualty insurance and flood insurance if the property is in a flood zone area. In addition, borrowers are required to obtain title insurance unless the balance of the loan is less than $250,000. In such cases, Sunshine Bank will require an ownership and encumbrance report relating to the title of the property.
Commercial and multi-family real estate loans entail greater credit risks compared to one-to-four family residential real estate loans because they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the property, as repayment of the loan generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the property to cover operating expenses and debt service. Changes in economic conditions that are not in the control of the borrower or lender could affect the value of the collateral for the loan or the future cash flow of the property. Additionally, any decline in real estate values may be more pronounced for commercial and multi-family real estate than residential properties.
One-to-four family Residential Real Estate Lending.Prior to Sunshine Bank’s conversion from mutual to stock ownership in July 2014, the focus of its lending program historically had been the origination of one-to-four family residential real estate loans. Sunshine Bank had retained in its portfolio nearly all of the one-to-four family residential real estate loans that it originated.
Sunshine Bank currently does not originate residential mortgage products with the intent to hold in portfolio. Generally, all residential mortgages are originated through Sunshine Bank’s mortgage wholesale/correspondent partner(s). Sunshine Bank uses the services of an unaffiliated mortgage wholesale and correspondent lender to close and fund one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. These loans are generally underwritten in accordance with secondary market standards and Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines. The loan types that Sunshine Bank originates on a wholesale basis are conventional, jumbo, VA, USDA, and FHA. Sunshine Bank’s lending staff takes loan applications and prepares the materials for submission to a wholesale/correspondent lender for processing, underwriting, and closing. These loans are funded by the wholesale lender. Sunshine Bank receives a broker commission from the wholesale lender for each loan that is closed. Sunshine Bank primarily works with one mortgage lending company on both a wholesale and correspondent basis and is looking to develop relationships with other mortgage lending companies to expand its mortgage product offering in the future.
At June 30, 2016, the loan portfolio had $63.2 million of loans secured by one-to-four family real estate, representing 16.9% of the total loan portfolio. One-to-four family residential real estate loans typically have terms of 15 to 30 years. Sunshine Bank’s one-to-four family residential real estate loans held in portfolio were generally underwritten according to Freddie Mac guidelines, and Sunshine Bank refers to loans that conform to such guidelines as “conforming loans”, which can be sold in the secondary market if Sunshine Bank choses to do so. Sunshine Bank holds both fixed and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. The adjustable-rate one-to-four family residential real estate loans generally have fixed rates for initial terms of three years, and adjust annually
115
thereafter at a margin. This margin is generally 275 basis points over the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased or decreased is generally 2.00% per adjustment period, and the lifetime interest rate cap is generally 6.00% over the initial interest rate of the loan.
Sunshine Bank generally limited the loan-to-value ratios of the one-to-four family residential mortgage loans to 80% of the purchase price or appraised value of the property, whichever was less. In addition, Sunshine Bank made one-to-four family residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios between 80% and 95% of the purchase price or appraised value of the property, whichever is less, where the borrower obtained private mortgage insurance.
All residential mortgage loans in portfolio include “due-on-sale” clauses, which give Sunshine Bank the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage, and the loan is not repaid. All borrowers were required to obtain title insurance for the benefit of Sunshine Bank. Sunshine Bank also required homeowner’s insurance and fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warranted, flood insurance on properties securing real estate loans.
Commercial Business Lending.At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $55.5 million of commercial business loans, representing 14.8% of its total loan portfolio. Sunshine Bank’s business strategy is to increase originations of commercial business loans. Sunshine Bank offers commercial term loans, lines of credit, agricultural production, equipment financing, and revolving lines of credit with a target loan size of $100,000 to $2.0 million to small businesses in its market area to finance short-term working capital needs such as accounts receivable and inventory. The commercial lines of credit are typically adjustable-rate and are generally priced on a floating rate basis utilizing the prime rate. Sunshine Bank generally obtains personal guarantees with respect to all commercial business lines of credit.
Sunshine Bank typically originates commercial business loans on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, the experience and stability of the borrower’s management team, earnings projections and the underlying assumptions, and the value and marketability of any collateral securing the loan. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment in Sunshine Bank’s market area. Therefore, commercial business loans that Sunshine Bank originates generally have greater credit risk than one-to-four family residential real estate loans or consumer loans. In addition, commercial business loans often result in larger outstanding balances to single borrowers, or related groups of borrowers, and also generally require substantially greater evaluation and oversight efforts.
At June 30, 2016, the average loan balance of outstanding commercial business loans was $116,000, and the largest outstanding balance was a $7.0 million loan to an unaffiliated bank holding company, collateralized by marketable securities. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at June 30, 2016.
Construction and Land Lending.At June 30, 2016, $19.5 million, or 5.2% of the total loan portfolio, consisted of construction and land loans. Of these, $14.4 million were for commercial development and land loans and $5.1 million were for residential development. At June 30, 2016, the largest land loan was $1.3 million and the largest construction loan was $4.5 million and both properties were located in Sunshine Bank’s primary market area. Both loans were performing in accordance with their original terms at June 30, 2016.
Sunshine Bank offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate construction and land loans, although most of these loans have fixed interest rates. The maximum loan-to-value of these loans is 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property. Sunshine Bank offers a onetime closed Residential Construction to Permanent product with its correspondent lending partners. These loans are processed, underwritten, closed both by internal bank consumer lending staff and the correspondent lender. This process is done simultaneously to
116
ensure these loans meet both the internal underwriting criteria and the correspondent lenders criteria to ensure these loans are conformable to secondary marketing standards at loan modification after the construction phase is completed. Sunshine Bank funds the construction portion of the loan and monitors the draw process to ensure completion of the construction project according to the originally approved specifications. These loans are reported as loans held for sale on the consolidated statement of condition.
At the end of the construction phase when the loan is modified, it is sold to the correspondent lender for a service release premium. Sunshine Bank originates both conventional loans up to 85% loan-to-value ratios (“LTV”) and jumbo loans up to 80% LTV, construction loans. Conventional loans are up to the conforming limit of $417,000 and jumbo loans exceed this limitation. The loan pricing on these loans are fixed for a maximum construction period of 12 months. These loans modify to the current market pricing of the correspondent at the time of modification.
Construction and land lending generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction or land loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost is inaccurate, Sunshine Bank may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project is inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment of the construction loan upon the sale of the property. Construction and land loans also expose Sunshine Bank to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated. Land loans pose additional risk because the property generally does not produce income and may be relatively illiquid.
Home Equity Loans.At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $10.3 million of home equity loans, representing 2.7% of its total loan portfolio. Home equity loans consists of either revolving lines of credit, term, or second mortgage loans secured by one-to-four residential real estate. These loans are underwritten based on repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, and credit history. Home equity loans are generally considered to have more credit risk than traditional one-to four-family residential loans because Sunshine Bank tends to have a subordinate lien position. Home equity loans are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s principal residence or their second/vacation home (excluding investment/rental property) at a maximum current loan-to-value of 80%. There are minimum credit score standards, maximum debt to income ratios and credit requirements on each Home equity product that is defined in Sunshine Bank’s Lending Policy. All credit decisions for home equity loans are made centrally by Sunshine Bank’s consumer lending department.
Consumer Lending.To a much lesser extent, Sunshine Bank offers a variety of consumer loans to individuals who reside or work in its market area. At June 30, 2016, the consumer loan portfolio totaled $2.2 million, or 0.06% of the total loan portfolio, and $888,000 of the consumer loans were unsecured (excluding overdraft accounts).
Consumer loans can have either a variable rate based on index of Wall Street Journal Prime rate or a fixed-rate of interest for a term of up to 10 years, depending on the type of collateral, product and the creditworthiness of the borrower. Sunshine Bank’s lending policy allows for unsecured, non- real estate secured, and real estate secured loan products that are either installment or open end credit. Consumer loans may be secured with deposits, automobiles, boats, motorcycles, recreational vehicles or real property. As part of Sunshine Bank’s response to newly effected regulations, the consumer lending process and product suite underwent thorough re-design in the fourth quarter of 2015. The entire consumer lending product suite has not been relaunched for customers as of June 30, 2016. Sunshine Bank is currently offering only the Home Equity Lines of Credit and CD secured loans. The remainder of products will be launched throughout the rest of 2016.
117
Sunshine Bank’s consumer loan policy sets forth its underwriting guidelines overall for all loan applications and addresses specific guidelines such as acceptable loan amounts, credit score, debt-to-income ratios, loan-to-value ratios, and collateral allowable by product type. The policy guidelines address applications, structuring, stability, credit standards, collateral, consumer compliance, insurance requirements and appraisal requirements. The consumer loan policy is approved by the board of directors quarterly.
Loan Originations, Participations, Purchases and Sales.
Most of Sunshine Bank’s loan originations are generated by its loan personnel operating at the main office and other banking office locations. All originated loans are underwritten pursuant to Sunshine Bank’s policies and procedures, which are approved by the board of directors. While Sunshine Bank originates both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, its ability to generate each type of loan depends upon relative borrower demand and pricing levels established by competing banks, thrifts, credit unions, and mortgage banking companies. The volume of loan originations is influenced significantly by market interest rates, and, accordingly, the volume of loan originations can vary from period to period.
With the exception of residential mortgage and construction loans originated for sale, Sunshine Bank generally holds all of the loans it originates in its portfolio. In December 2014, to enhance Sunshine Bank’s asset quality, management strengthened the balance sheet by selling or listing for sale approximately $5.0 million in loans. Of the $5.0 million, Sunshine Bank sold $2.1 million in classified commercial real estate loans in 2014 and the remaining principal balance of $2.9 million (less previous charge offs) was transferred to held for sale at year end 2014 at a net amount of $1.8 million. These loans were subsequently sold in January 2015. Sunshine Bank has not purchased any loans outside of loans purchased in the First Federal branch and Community Southern Bank acquisitions. As of June 30, 2016 Sunshine Bank had four participation loans sold to other financial institutions totaling $3.8 million.
Delinquencies, Classified Assets and Nonperforming Assets
Delinquency Procedures.When a residential mortgage loan or consumer loan becomes more than 15 days delinquent, Sunshine Bank’s computer system sends an automatic notice advising the borrower of the delinquency. If the mortgage loan remains delinquent 30 days after the due date, Sunshine Bank sends a 30-day default letter giving the borrower approximately 10 days to cure the delinquency. This letter also includes credit counseling information. If the loan still remains delinquent following the 30-day letter, an additional letter is sent at approximately 45 days from the due date giving the borrower an additional 10 days to bring the loan current. If the loan is not made current by approximately 60 days from the due date, a demand letter is sent by regular and certified mail giving the borrower 30 days to cure the delinquency or foreclosure proceedings will begin. If the borrower fails to bring the loan current within 90 days from the due date or fails to make arrangements to make the loan current over a longer period of time, the matter is referred to legal counsel and foreclosure or other collection proceedings are instituted. Beginning in 2014 under Florida law, Sunshine Bank could not begin foreclosure proceedings on a borrower’s principal residence until the mortgage obligation was more than 120 days delinquent.
Commercial business and commercial real estate delinquent borrowers are contacted approximately 10 days after the past due date and in writing thereafter. Due to different default provisions, collection efforts are loan specific for commercial loans in compliance with applicable Florida law.

Nonaccrual Loans.Sunshine Bank generally ceases accruing interest on loans when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is applied against principal or interest and is recognized on the cost recovery method or cash basis. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $1.3 million in nonaccrual loans.
Troubled Debt Restructurings.Loans are classified as restructured when certain modifications are made to the loan terms and concessions are granted to the borrowers due to financial difficulty experienced by those borrowers. The modification of the terms of such loans were one of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan for some period of time, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or an extension of time to make payments with the delinquent payments added to the principal of the loan. Sunshine Bank considers modifications only after analyzing the borrower’s current repayment capacity, evaluating the strength of any guarantors based on documented current financial information, and assessing the current value of any collateral pledged. These modifications are made only when there is a reasonable and attainable workout plan that has been agreed to by the borrower and that is in Sunshine Bank’s best interests.
Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings. Sunshine Bank’s policy provides that troubled debt restructured loans are returned to accrual status after a period of satisfactory and reasonable future payment performance under the terms of the restructuring. Satisfactory payment performance is generally no less than six consecutive months of timely payments and demonstrated ability to continue to repay.
Nonperforming Loans.Nonperforming loans increased to $1.3 million, or 0.34%, of total loans, at June 30, 2016, from $751,000, or 0.23% of total loans, at December 31, 2015.
Other Real Estate Owned.Other real estate owned includes assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure and are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by
119
management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated selling costs. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in operations. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $52,000 in other real estate owned.
Nonperforming Assets.The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of Sunshine Bank’s nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. Sunshine Bank had no accruing loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, or 2012.

Classified Assets.Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the OCC to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” Anasset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific allowance for loan losses is not warranted. Assets that do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention” by management. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $2.4 million of loans designated by management as “special mention,” and $5.3 million of loans designated as “substandard.”
When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances in an amount deemed prudent by management to cover losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. General allowances represent allowances which have been established to cover accrued losses associated with lending activities that were both probable and reasonable to estimate, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge-off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the regulatory authorities, which may require the establishment of additional general or specific allowances.
In connection with the filing of periodic regulatory reports and in accordance with Sunshine Bank’s classification of assets policy, Sunshine Bank regularly review the problem loans in its portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Loans are listed on the “watch list” initially because of emerging financial weaknesses even though the loan is currently performing as agreed, or delinquency status, or if the loan possesses weaknesses although currently performing. If a loan deteriorates in asset quality, the classification is changed to “special mention,” “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” depending on the circumstances and the evaluation. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status and classified “substandard.” Management reviews the status of each loan on the classified list on a monthly basis with the full board of directors.
The following table sets forth the amounts of classified loans and loans designated as special mention as of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, management initiated the sale of selected criticized credits totaling $5.0 million. Of the $5.0 million, Sunshine Bank sold $2.1 million in classified commercial real estate loans in 2014 and the remaining principal balance of $2.9 million (less previous charge offs) was transferred to held for sale at year end 2014 at a net amount of $1.8 million. These loans were subsequently sold in January 2015.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses.Sunshine Bank’s allowance for loan losses is the amount considered necessary to reflect probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Sunshine Bank evaluates the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to operations.
The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of two key elements: (1) specific allowances for identified impaired loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although Sunshine Bank determines the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.
Sunshine Bank identifies loans that may need to be charged off as a loss by reviewing all delinquent loans, classified loans, and other loans about which management may have concerns about collectability. For individually reviewed loans, the borrower’s inability to make payments under the terms of the loan as well as the shortfall in collateral value could result in charging off the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.
Among other factors, Sunshine Bank considers current general economic conditions, including current housing price depreciation, in determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses for the residential real estate portfolio. Sunshine Bank uses evidence obtained from its own loan portfolio as well as published housing data on its local markets from third party sources its believes to be reliable as a basis for assumptions about the impact of housing depreciation.
Substantially all of Sunshine Bank’s loans are secured by collateral. Residential real estate loans 180 days past due, consumer loans 120 days past due and all other loans 90 days past due and other classified loans are evaluated for impairment and general or specific allowances are established. Typically for a nonperforming real estate loan in the process of collection, the value of the underlying collateral is estimated using an independent appraisal, adjusted for current economic conditions and other factors, and related general or specific allowances for loan losses are adjusted on a quarterly basis. If a nonperforming real estate loan is in the process of foreclosure and/or there are serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, and there is uncertainty about the value of the underlying collateral, Sunshine Bank will order a new independent appraisal if it has not already been obtained. Any shortfall would result in immediately charging off the portion of the loan that was impaired.
Specific Allowances for Impaired Loans.Sunshine Bank establishes a specific allowance when loans are determined to be impaired. Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses. Factors in identifying a specific impaired loan include: (1) the strength of the customer’s personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of the collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; (7) the borrower’s effort to cure the delinquency; and (8) for loans secured by real estate, the extent of any past due and unpaid property taxes applicable to the property serving as collateral on the mortgage.
General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio.Sunshine Bank establishes a general allowance for loans that are not classified as impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment and assigning specific loss rates for specific categories of loans based on Sunshine Bank’s historical loss experience, delinquency trends and management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio over the preceding twenty quarters. The allowance may be adjusted for qualitative factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These qualitative factors include the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, changes in national, regional and local
122
economic conditions that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio, changes in levels or trends in charge-offs and recoveries, changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, nonaccrual loans or loans classified special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and terms of loans, changes in lending policies and procedures, risk selection and underwriting standards, changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff, quality of loan review and the effect of other external factors, trends or uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses, such as competition and industry conditions. The qualitative factors are re-evaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance to the entire loan portfolio.

As a part of the business acquisition, Sunshine Bank acquired loans, some of which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination. These purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans were determined to be credit impaired based on borrower payment history, past due status, loan credit grading, value of underlying collateral and other factors that affect the collectability of contractual cash flows. Under GAAP, purchasers are permitted to individually evaluate or collectively aggregate PCI loans into pools. PCI loans acquired in the same
123
fiscal quarter may be assembled into one or more pools with common risk characteristics. Once pooled, a single composite interest rate is used to determine aggregate expected cash flows for the pool.
As a result of Sunshine’s recent acquisition, Sunshine Bank individually evaluated three PCI loans. These acquired loans were recorded on the acquisition date at fair value. Sunshine Bank estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each individually analyzed loan. Estimated cash flows in excess of the amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.

At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank’s allowance for loan losses represented 0.77% of total loans and 227.8% of nonperforming loans. The allowance to total loans ratio decreased as a result of the Community Southern Merger. In accordance with current purchase accounting rules under GAAP, Sunshine Bank did not carry over the allowance of the acquired bank, but measured uncertainties relating to the expected future cash flows as part of the fair value measurement of the acquired loans and reflected it in the purchase price. At December 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.56% of total loans and 193.5% of nonperforming loans. At December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.52% of total loans and 44.95% of nonperforming loans. At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.95% of total loans and 44.92% of nonperforming loans. There were $785,000 of net recoveries during the year ended December 31, 2015, and $2.5 million, $558,000 and $1.1 million in net loan charge-offs during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During 2014, management implemented a strategy to strengthen the balance sheet and enhance asset quality. This strategy led to an increase in charge off activity for classified and delinquent loans.
Although Sunshine Bank believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, the existing allowance for loan losses may not be adequate and management may determine that increases in the allowance are necessary if the quality of any portion of the loan portfolio deteriorates as a result. Furthermore, as an integral part of its examination process, the OCC will periodically review the allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require that Sunshine Bank increase its allowance based on its judgments of information available to it at the time of its examination. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses will adversely affect Sunshine Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
Investment Activities
General.Sunshine Bank’s investment policy is established by the board of directors. The objectives of the policy are to: (i) ensure adequate liquidity for loan demand and deposit fluctuations, and to allow Sunshine Bank to alter its liquidity position to meet both day-to-day and long-term changes in assets and liabilities; (ii) maintain a balance of high quality investments to minimize risk; (iii) provide collateral for pledging requirements; and (iv) maximize return on Sunshine Bank’s investments within the context of its interest rate risk management policy.
The Asset-Liability management committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for the investment management policy and approval of investment strategies. The ALCO will determine the approved dollar amount required for investment, typically for the forthcoming quarter, and authorize execution of the strategy. The ALCO has delegated the responsibility for administering the policy and implementing investment strategies to the Chief Financial Officer, and any designated investment officers. The investment officers will, under most circumstances, execute the purchase/sell orders, perform settlement operations, manage custody functions, and administer collateral assignments. Investment officers have the additional responsibility of continually monitoring the portfolios of Sunshine Bank to determine that the assets serve the objectives of Sunshine Bank as to liquidity, safety and soundness, and profitability.
Sunshine Bank accounts for investment securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” Accounting Standards Codification 320 requires that investments be categorized as held-to maturity, trading, or available for sale. At June 30, 2016, all Sunshine Bank securities were designated as available for sale. During 2015, management transferred all securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale. The transfer was executed for liquidity and interest rate risk purposes. Certain securities were subsequently sold and a gain of $195,000 was recognized. Sunshine Bank is precluded from classifying securities as held to maturity until March 2017.

Federally-chartered savings institutions have authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. government-sponsored enterprise obligations, securities of various federal agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities, certain time deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments, debt instruments of municipalities and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank’s investment portfolio consisted of U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, securities and obligations issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises or the Federal Home Loan Bank. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank owned $1.7 million of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock. As a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Sunshine Bank is required to purchase stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The Federal Home Loan Bank common stock is carried at cost.

Sources of Funds
General.Deposits have traditionally been Sunshine Bank’s primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. Sunshine Bank may also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta advances, to supplement cash flow needs, as necessary. In addition, Sunshine Bank receives funds from scheduled loan payments, loan prepayments, retained income and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.
Deposits.Deposits are generated primarily from residents and businesses within Sunshine Bank’s primary market area. Sunshine Bank offers a selection of deposit accounts, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts, interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and time deposits.Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. At June 30, 2016, the core deposits, which are deposits other than time deposits, were $291.5 million, representing 73.7% of total deposits. Brokered deposits, including reciprocal deposits, totaled $37.5 million, or 9.5% of total deposits.
Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis by the ALCO committee. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts that Sunshine Bank offers allows it to be competitive in generating deposits and to respond with flexibility to changes in its customers’ demands. The ability to generate deposits is impacted by the competitive market in which Sunshine Bank
127
operates, which includes numerous financial institutions of varying sizes offering a wide range of products. Sunshine Bank believes that deposits are a stable source of funds, but its ability to attract and maintain deposits at favorable rates will be affected by market conditions, including competition and prevailing interest rates.
The following table sets forth the distribution of total deposits by account type for the periods indicated.

Borrowings.Sunshine Bank obtains advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta upon the security of its capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and certain of its loans. Such advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. As of June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had $30.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances. At June 30, 2016, based on available collateral and Sunshine Bank’s ownership of FHLB stock, Sunshine Bank had total borrowing capacity of $83.2 million less $30.0 million of outstanding borrowings for available borrowing capacity of $53.2 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank. Sunshine Bank also has lines of credit atthree
128
financial institutions that would allow it to borrow up to $25.5 million at June 30, 2016. Other than as required by federal regulations to test its borrowing capabilities, Sunshine Bank did not utilize any lines of credit during the period ended June 30, 2016, and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Subsidiary Activities
Sunshine Bank is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine. Sunshine has no other subsidiaries.
Employees
As of June 30, 2016 Sunshine had 118 full-time equivalent employees. Its employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that Sunshine has a good working relationship with its employees.
Regulation and Supervision
As a federal savings bank, Sunshine Bank is subject to examination and regulation by the OCC, and is also subject to examination by the FDIC. The federal system of regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which Sunshine Bank may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, and not for the protection of stockholders. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. Sunshine Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Federal Reserve Board, which governs the reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. Sunshine Bank must comply with consumer protection regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Sunshine Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The OCC examines Sunshine Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of its Board of Directors on any operating deficiencies. Sunshine Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts, the form and content of Sunshine Bank’s loan documents and certain consumer protection matters.
As a savings and loan holding company, Sunshine is subject to examination and supervision by, and is required to file certain reports with, the Federal Reserve Board. Sunshine is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
Set forth below are certain material regulatory requirements that are applicable to Sunshine Bank and Sunshine. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Sunshine Bank and Sunshine. Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by Congress or the applicable regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse impact on Sunshine, Sunshine Bank and their operations.
129
Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Act made significant changes to the regulatory structure for depository institutions and their holding companies, as well as changes that affect the lending, investments and other operations of all depository institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for both bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital for holding companies were restricted to capital instruments that were then currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. The legislation also established a floor for capital of insured depository institutions that cannot be lower than the standards in effect upon passage, and directed the federal banking regulators to implement new leverage and capital requirements that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as Sunshine Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets are still examined for compliance by their applicable bank regulators. The legislation also weakened the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gave state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.
The Dodd-Frank Act broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution, rather than on total deposits. The legislation also permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. The Dodd-Frank Act increased stockholder influence over Boards of Directors by requiring companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not. Further, the legislation requires that originators of securitized loans retain a percentage of the risk for transferred loans, directs the Federal Reserve Board to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage originations.
Many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act involve delayed effective dates and/or require implementing regulations or have not been issued in final form. The full impact on Sunshine’s operations cannot yet fully be assessed. It is likely that the Dodd-Frank Act will result in an increased regulatory burden and compliance, operating and interest expense for Sunshine Bank and Sunshine.
Federal Banking Regulation
Business Activities.A federal savings bank derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and applicable federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, Sunshine Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized, for the first time, the payment of interest on commercial checking accounts. Sunshine Bank may also establish subsidiaries that may engage in certain activities not otherwise permissible for Sunshine Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.
Capital Requirements.Federal regulations require FDIC-insured depository institutions to meet several minimum capital standards: a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6.0%, a total capital to risk-based assets of 8%, and a 4% Tier 1 capital to total assets
130
leverage ratio. The existing capital requirements were effective January 1, 2015 and are the result of a final rule implementing regulatory amendments based on recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.
For purposes of the regulatory capital requirements, common equity Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common stockholders’ equity and retained earnings. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common equity Tier 1 and additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital includes certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital (common equity Tier 1 capital plus additional Tier 1 capital) and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital is comprised of capital instruments and related surplus, meeting specified requirements, and may include cumulative preferred stock and long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, intermediate preferred stock and subordinated debt. Also included in Tier 2 capital is the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and, for institutions such as Sunshine Bank, that have exercised an opt-out election regarding the treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations.
In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets (e.g., recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes, residual interests) are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. For example, a risk weight of 0% is assigned to cash and U.S. government securities, a risk weight of 50% is generally assigned to prudently underwritten first lien one to four- family residential mortgages, a risk weight of 100% is assigned to commercial and consumer loans, a risk weight of 150% is assigned to certain past due loans and a risk weight of between 0% to 600% is assigned to permissible equity interests, depending on certain specified factors.
Federal savings banks must also meet a statutory “tangible capital” standard of 1.5% of total adjusted assets. Tangible capital is generally defined as Tier 1 capital less intangible assets other than certain mortgage servicing rights.
In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted asset above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019.
In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the OCC takes into consideration, not only these numeric factors, but qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual institutions where deemed necessary.
At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements.
Loans-to-One Borrower.Generally, a federal savings bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test.As a federal savings bank, Sunshine Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test. Under the QTL test, Sunshine Bank must maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in
131
“qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings bank, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings bank’s business. A federal savings bank that fails the qualified thrift lender test must operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners’ Loan Act. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test subject to enforcement action for a violation of law. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank satisfied the QTL requirements.
Capital Distributions.In June 2015, Sunshine Bank applied for and received approval for an $18.8 million capital distribution to Sunshine which was used to facilitate the acquisition of Community Southern Holdings, Inc. Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings bank, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the savings bank’s capital account. A federal savings bank must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if:
| • | | the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings bank’s net income for that year to date plus the savings bank’s retained net earnings for the preceding two years; |
| • | | the savings bank would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution; |
| • | | the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or regulatory condition; or |
| • | | the savings bank is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings. |
Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings bank that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as Sunshine Bank, must still file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the Board of Directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
A notice or application related to a capital distribution may be disapproved if:
| • | | the federal savings bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution; |
| • | | the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or |
| • | | the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement. |
In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution may not make any capital distribution if, after making such distribution, the institution would fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirement. A federal savings bank also may not make a capital distribution that would reduce its regulatory capital below the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with its conversion to stock form. In addition, beginning in 2016, Sunshine Bank’s ability to pay dividends will be limited if Sunshine Bank does not have the capital conservation buffer required by the new capital rules, which may limit the ability of Sunshine to pay dividends to its stockholders. See“—Capital Requirements.”
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws.All federal savings banks have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings bank, the OCC is required to assess the federal savings bank’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. A savings bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the OCC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.
The Community Reinvestment Act requires all institutions insured by the FDIC to publicly disclose their rating. Sunshine Bank received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.
132
Transactions with Related Parties.A federal savings bank’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and federal regulation. An affiliate is generally a company that controls, or is under common control with an insured depository institution, such as Sunshine Bank. Sunshine is an affiliate of Sunshine Bank because of its control of Sunshine Bank. In general, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative limits and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings bank from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve the purchase of low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Federal regulations require savings banks to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.
Sunshine Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:
| • | | be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and |
| • | | not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Sunshine Bank’s capital. |
In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by Sunshine Bank’s loan committee or Board of Directors. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional limits based on the type of extension involved.
Enforcement.The OCC has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings banks and has authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including directors, officers, stockholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on a federal savings bank. Formal enforcement action by the OCC may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The FDIC also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or recommend to the OCC that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings bank. If such action is not taken, the FDIC has authority to take the action under specified circumstances.
Standards for Safety and Soundness.Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest-rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
133
Prompt Corrective Action Regulations.Under the prompt corrective action regulations, the OCC is required and authorized to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings banks. For this purpose, a savings bank is placed in one of the following five categories based on the savings bank’s capital:
| • | | well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 8% Tier 1 risk-based capital, 10% total risk-based capital, and 6.5% common equity Tier 1 ratios and is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive issued under certain statutes and regulations, to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure); |
| • | | adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital, 8% total risk-based capital and 4.5% common equity Tier 1 ratios); |
| • | | undercapitalized (less than 4% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital, 8% total risk-based capital or 4.5% common equity Tier 1 ratios); |
| • | | significantly undercapitalized (less than 3% leverage capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital, 6% total risk-based capital or 3% common equity Tier 1 ratios); and |
| • | | critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital to total assets). |
The new rule that strengthened regulatory capital requirements adjusted the prompt corrective actions categories to incorporate the new standards, as reflected above.
Generally, the OCC is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings bank that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the OCC within 45 days of the date that a federal savings bank is deemed to have received notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Any holding company of a federal savings bank that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee performance under the plan in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the savings bank’s assets at the time it was deemed to be undercapitalized by the OCC or the amount necessary to restore the savings bank to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the OCC notifies the savings bank that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters. Institutions that are undercapitalized become subject to certain mandatory measures such as a restrictions on capital distributions and asset growth. The OCC may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized federal savings bank, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank met the criteria for being considered “well capitalized.”
Insurance of Deposit Accounts.The Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC insures deposits at FDIC-insured financial institutions such as Sunshine Bank. Deposit accounts in Sunshine Bank are insured by the FDIC generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund.
Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other risk factors. Rates are based on each institution’s risk category and certain specified risk adjustments. Stronger institutions pay lower rates while riskier institutions pay higher rates.
The FDIC issued a final rule that redefined the assessment base used for calculating deposit insurance assessments effective April 1, 2011. Under the rule, assessments are based on an institution’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity instead of total deposits. The final rule revised the assessment rate schedule to establish assessments ranging from 2.5 to 45 basis points.
134
In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 0.60 of a basis point of total assets less tangible capital.
The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments. Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Sunshine Bank. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. Sunshine does not currently know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of Sunshine Bank’s deposit insurance.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements.Federal savings banks are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
Federal Home Loan Bank System.Sunshine Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Sunshine Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of December 31, 2015, Sunshine Bank was in compliance with this requirement. While Sunshine Bank’s ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta provides an additional source of liquidity.
Other Regulations
Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Sunshine Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Sunshine Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
| • | | Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; |
| • | | Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requiring that borrowers for mortgage loans for one-to-four family residential real estate receive various disclosures, including good faith estimates of settlement costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices, and prohibiting certain practices that increase the cost of settlement services; |
| • | | Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves; |
| • | | Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit; |
| • | | Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; |
| • | | Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; |
| • | | Truth in Savings Act; and |
135
| • | | rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws. |
In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issues regulations and standards under these federal consumer protection laws that affect Sunshine Bank’s consumer businesses. These include regulations setting “ability to repay” and “qualified mortgage” standards for residential mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing and originator compensation standards. In addition, on October 3, 2015, the new TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules for mortgage closings took effect for new loan applications. These new loan forms may have the effect of lengthening the time it takes to approve mortgage loans in the short term following implementation of the rule. Sunshine Bank is evaluating recent regulations and proposals, and devotes significant compliance, legal and operational resources to compliance with consumer protection regulations and standards.
The operations of Sunshine Bank also are subject to the:
| • | | Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records; |
| • | | Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services; |
| • | | Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check; |
| • | | The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires savings banks to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs, and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements that also apply to financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and |
| • | | The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties. |
Holding Company Regulation
General.Sunshine is a savings and loan holding company within the meaning of Home Owners’ Loan Act. As such, Sunshine is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements applicable to savings and loan holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over Sunshine and any future non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.
Permissible Activities.Under present law, the business activities of Sunshine are generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, provided certain conditions are met (including electing such status), or for multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to regulatory approval, and certain additional activities authorized by federal regulations. As of June 30, 2016 Sunshine has not elected financial holding company status.
136
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including Sunshine, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior regulatory approval. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a non-subsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.
The Federal Reserve Board is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions:
| • | | the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and |
| • | | the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisition. |
The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.
Capital.Savings and loan holding companies historically have not been subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, required the Federal Reserve Board to establish for all depository institution holding companies minimum consolidated capital requirements that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries.
However, legislation was enacted in December 2014 which required the Federal Reserve Board to amend its “Small Bank Holding Company” exemption from consolidated holding company capital requirements to (i) extend its applicability to savings and loan holding companies and (ii) raise the threshold for the exemption from $500 million to $1 billion in consolidated assets. Regulations doing so were effective May 15, 2015. Consequently, both bank and savings and loan holding companies with under $1 billion in consolidated assets are exempt from the consolidated regulatory capital requirements unless the Federal Reserve Board determines otherwise on a case by case basis.
Source of Strength.The Dodd-Frank Act extended the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations requiring that all savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of managerial and financial strength to their subsidiary savings and loan associations by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
Dividends.The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate or earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a savings and loan holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary savings bank becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also states that a savings and loan holding company should inform the Federal Reserve Board supervisory staff prior to redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if the savings and loan holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or if the repurchase or redemption would result in a net reduction, as of the end of a quarter, in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies may affect the ability of Sunshine to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
137
Acquisition.Under the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of a savings and loan holding company. Under certain circumstances, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve Board has found that the acquisition will not result in control of the company. A change in control definitively occurs upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.
Federal Securities Laws
Sunshine’s common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Sunshine is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in the conversion does not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by affiliates are subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If Sunshine meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate’s sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of outstanding shares, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. In the future, Sunshine may permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The JOBS Act which was enacted in April 2012 has made numerous changes to the federal securities laws to facilitate access to capital markets. Under the JOBS Act, a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1.0 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year qualifies as an “emerging growth company.” Sunshine qualifies as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
An “emerging growth company” may choose not to hold stockholder votes to approve annual executive compensation (more frequently referred to as “say-on-pay” votes) or executive compensation payable in connection with a merger (more frequently referred to as “say-on-golden parachute” votes). An emerging growth company also is not subject to the requirement that its auditors attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, and can provide scaled disclosure regarding executive compensation; however, Sunshine will also not be subject to the auditor attestation requirement or additional executive compensation disclosure so long as it remains a “smaller reporting company” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally less than $75 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates). Finally, an emerging growth company may elect to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. Such an election is irrevocable during the period a company is an emerging growth company. Sunshine has elected to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company.
A company loses emerging growth company status on the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year of the company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933; (iii) the date on which such company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which such company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally, at least $700 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates).
138
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Sunshine’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that Sunshine’s quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: (i) they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of Sunshine’s internal control over financial reporting; (ii) they have made certain disclosures to Sunshine’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about Sunshine’s internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) they have included information in Sunshine’s quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in Sunshine’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
Federal Taxation
General.Sunshine and Sunshine Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Sunshine and Sunshine Bank.
Method of Accounting.For federal income tax purposes, Sunshine currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31st for filing its federal income tax returns.
Minimum Tax.The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, less an exemption amount, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent tax computed this way exceeds tax computed by applying the regular tax rates to regular taxable income. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. At December 31, 2015, Sunshine had approximately $224,000 in alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards.
Net Operating Loss Carryovers.Generally, a financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At December 31, 2015, Sunshine has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.5 million available to offset future taxable income.
Capital Loss Carryovers.Generally, a financial institution may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. Any capital loss carryback or carryover is treated as a short-term capital loss for the year to which it is carried. As such, it is grouped with any other capital losses for the year to which carried and is used to offset any capital gains. Any unused loss remaining after the five year carryover period is not deductible. At December 31, 2015, Sunshine had no capital loss carryover.
Corporate Dividends.Sunshine may generally exclude from income 100% of dividends received from Sunshine Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.
State Taxation
Sunshine Bank and Sunshine are subject to Florida corporate tax which is assessed at the rate of 5.50%. For the Florida corporate tax, taxable income generally means federal taxable income subject to certain modifications under state law. As a Maryland business corporation, Sunshine is required to file annual franchise tax return with the State of Maryland. Sunshine Bank’s state income tax returns have not been audited in the past five years.
139

SUNSHINE’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and analysis reflects Sunshine’s consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data, and is intended to enhance your understanding of Sunshine’s financial condition as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015 and 2014 and results of operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The information in this section has been derived from the consolidated financial statements, which appear beginning on page F-1. You should read the information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information regarding Sunshine provided elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Overview
Sunshine Bank is a financial services institution focused on positively impacting the consumers, businesses, and non-profits throughout central Florida by creating financial success for its customers. Sunshine’s competitive advantage is its ability to attract and retain employees, who are passionate about providing uncompromising service with a sense of warmth, integrity, friendliness, and company spirit. Operations are conducted from the main banking office in Plant City, Florida and eleven additional full service Florida banking offices located in Brandon, Riverview, Lakeland, Zephyrhills, Bartow, Plant City, Bradenton, Sarasota, Winter Haven, and two new offices opened in the first quarter 2016, located in downtown Tampa and downtown Orlando. Sunshine’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SBCP.”
Sunshine’s principal business has consisted of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public in its primary market area of Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, Orange, and Pasco counties, Florida, and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and, to a lesser extent, multi-family real estate, land and construction, one-to- four-family and consumer loans. Sunshine also invests in securities, which consist primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) mortgage-backed securities, GSE securities and obligations, U.S. government agency securities, securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, municipal securities, and corporate obligations. Sunshine offers a variety of deposit accounts to consumers and small businesses, including savings accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, certificate of deposit accounts, other borrowings, and cash management programs.
Sunshine’s results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income Sunshine earns on interest-earning assets and the interest it pays on its interest-bearing liabilities. Sunshine’s results of operations also are affected by its provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income currently consists primarily of fees and service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage broker fees, gains on sales of securities, income from bank-owned life insurance, and other income. Noninterest expense currently consists of expenses related to salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data and item processing, professional fees, advertising and promotion, stationery and supplies, FDIC insurance, merger related expenses, and other expenses.
Sunshine’s results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Business Strategy
Sunshine Bank has made considerable progress in its transition from its roots as a residential mortgage lender to a full service commercial bank. Sunshine’s strategic plan calls for continued growth from organic loan and deposit generation, de novo branches, and acquisitions that meet Sunshine’s strategic criteria. Sunshine’s experienced management team has a proven track record of maximizing franchise creation, growth, and value.
141
Sunshine’s bankers have a long standing knowledge of the local marketplace and deep relationships in the communities that it serves. Sunshine believes that these combined elements are critical to creating a dominate Florida banking franchise. Sunshine’s core business strategies are discussed below.
Increase Sunshine’s focus on commercial lending. Sunshine has adjusted its business strategy to focus on increasing its originations of commercial loans. On October 14, 2014, Sunshine’s board of directors appointed Andrew S. Samuel, President and Chief Executive Officer. The hiring of Mr. Samuel, who was formerly President and Chief Executive Officer of Susquehanna Bank, was part of the board of director’s long-term strategy to continue to transform Sunshine Bank from a traditional thrift lender into a full service community bank with an increased focus on commercial lending. Following Mr. Samuel’s appointment, the board of directors reconstituted the senior management of Sunshine Bank by adding bankers who have many years of experience in commercial lending. In addition, Sunshine’s acquisition of Community Southern Bank, a Florida commercial bank, significantly increased the amount of commercial real estate and commercial business loans on the balance sheet. Sunshine focuses its commercial lending on small businesses located in its market area, and its targets owner-occupied businesses such as professional service providers and local farmers.
Increase Sunshine’s noninterest income by closing one-to-four family residential real estate loans through unaffiliated mortgage banking companies. Sunshine’s believes that its strategy to no longer portfolio new long-term fixed rate residential real estate loan originations, but to use the services of unaffiliated mortgage banking companies, will increase its noninterest income in future periods while not exposing it to the increased interest rate risk associated with holding long-term fixed rate loans in its portfolio. These loans are underwritten in accordance with secondary market standards and pursuant to guidelines established by the mortgage banking companies. Sunshine’s lending staff takes the loan applications and prepares the material for submission to a mortgage banking company for underwriting, final processing and closing. Sunshine receives a commission from the mortgage banking company for each loan that it closes. Sunshine may in the future look to develop relationships with other correspondent banks and originate for sale residential real estate loans.
Expand Sunshine’s banking franchise as opportunities arise through acquisitions of other financial institutions. On June 30, 2015, Sunshine acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Community Southern Holdings, Inc. (“Community Southern”) for $30.3 million in cash. Community Southern was merged into Sunshine and Community Southern Bank was merged into Sunshine Bank. Sunshine acquired $250.4 million in assets and assumed $214.4 million in liabilities and stockholders’ equity. Sunshine acquired these assets and liabilities to expand its market presence to Polk and Orange Counties, Florida and continue Sunshine Bank’s transformation into a full service community bank.
On November 13, 2015, Sunshine Bank purchased two branch offices from First Federal Bank of Florida. The branch offices are located in Bradenton and Sarasota, Florida. The purchase added $47.0 million in deposits and $7.9 million in loans to Sunshine Bank. Sunshine Bank also purchased the real estate property and some selected fixed assets associated with the branches. Sunshine acquired these assets and liabilities to expand its market presence to Manatee and Sarasota Counties, Florida. These acquisitions increased Sunshine’s branch network to ten full service offices.
In February 2016, Sunshine Bank opened two new full service offices in downtown Tampa and downtown Orlando, bringing the total number of branches to twelve. Sunshine anticipates these two offices will allow Sunshine Bank to capitalize upon the additional opportunities associated with being located in the center of two of Florida’s largest metropolitan markets.
Sunshine intends to continue to evaluate expansion opportunities though the acquisition of community banks generally between $200 million and $500 million in assets and /or branch acquisitions, located in Central Florida along interstates I-4 and I-75 contiguous to its current market areas.
Continue to attract low-cost deposits. Sunshine Bank offers noninterest bearing, interest bearing, savings and money market accounts, which generally are lower cost sources of funds than time deposits. These deposits
142
are generally less sensitive to withdrawals when interest rates fluctuate, and provide Sunshine Bank the opportunity to generate deposit-related fee income. At June 30, 2016, approximately 73.7% of Sunshine Bank’s deposits were core deposits. Sunshine Bank intends to increase these low cost deposits by implementing marketing and promotional programs, adding competitive commercial banking products and fee generating services, and broadening banking relationships with lending customers.
Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2015 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer. On October 2, 2015, Sunshine announced the appointment of John D. Finley as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective October 5, 2015. Finley is responsible for overseeing Sunshine’s finance, strategic financial planning, investment management, asset liability and interest-rate, risk management, human resources, and operations departments.
Acquisition of First Federal Bank of Florida Branches.On November 13, 2015, the Bank completed the acquisition of two branch offices from First Federal Bank of Florida in Manatee County, which consisted of $47.0 million in deposits and $7.9 million in loans. Sunshine Bank also agreed to purchase the real estate property and some selected fixed assets associated with the branches.
Completion of Two Private Placements. On December 2, 2015, Sunshine entered into Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors relating to a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $13.92 per share. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on December 4, 2015. The Private Placement resulted in net proceeds to Sunshine of approximately $11.4 million after placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction. The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for general corporate purposes.
On March 30, 2016, Sunshine accepted subscriptions for and sold, at 100% of their principal amount, an aggregate of $11.0 million of subordinated notes (the “Notes”), on a private placement basis, to two accredited investors. The investors included a corporation owned and controlled by George Parmer, who is a director of Sunshine, which purchased $7 million in principal amount of the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per year. The Notes have a term of five years, and have a maturity date of April 1, 2021. The Notes are redeemable at the option of Sunshine, in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty or premium, subject to any required regulatory approvals. Sunshine contributed the proceeds from the Notes to Sunshine Bank as equity capital to support Sunshine Bank’s continued growth, including ongoing lending activities.
Merger with FBC. As discussed elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, on May 9, 2016, Sunshine, Sunshine Bank, FBC, and FBC Bank entered into the merger agreement, pursuant to which FBC will merge with and into Sunshine, with Sunshine as the surviving entity, and FBC Bank will merge with and into Sunshine Bank, with Sunshine Bank surviving as Sunshine’s wholly-owned subsidiary. This strategic partnership will create a franchise with over $800 million in assets and 18 banking facilities across central Florida, stretching from the East to West Coast. The transaction expands Sunshine Bank into contiguous markets and along the growing I-4 corridor. The merger will create one of the largest community banks headquartered in central Florida. Additionally, the transaction will add approximately $315 million in assets, $231 million in loans, and $278 million in deposits to Sunshine Bank. Upon completion of the merger, Dana Kilborne, FBC Bank’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will serve as an Executive Vice President of Sunshine and Co-President and Chief Banking Officer of Sunshine Bank. In addition, upon completion of the merger, five FBC current board members will be appointed to the Sunshine and Sunshine Bank boards of directors, increasing the total number of directors of Sunshine and Sunshine Bank to fifteen members. The completion of the merger is subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on Sunshine’s financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
143
and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Sunshine considers the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that Sunshine uses are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of Sunshine’s assets and liabilities and results of operations.
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” Sunshine may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Sunshine intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, Sunshine’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
The following represents Sunshine’s critical accounting policies:
Business combinations. Sunshine accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires Sunshine to estimate the fair value of the tangible assets and identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and equity assumed. The estimated fair values are based on available information and current economic conditions at the date of acquisition. Fair value may be obtained from independent appraisers, discounted cash flow present value techniques, management valuation models, quoted prices on national markets or quoted market prices from brokers. These fair value estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities.
Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover inherent, but unconfirmed, credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged to operations. In determining the allowance for loan losses, Sunshine management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of Sunshine’s most critical accounting policies.
Sunshine management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.
The analysis has two components—specific and general allowances. The specific allowance is for unconfirmed losses related to loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. If the fair value of the loan is less than the loan’s carrying value, a charge is recorded for the difference. The general allowance, which is for loans reviewed collectively, is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment. Sunshine also analyzes historical loss experience for the past twenty quarters, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes historical loss percentages and qualitative factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessary for loans that are reviewed collectively. These qualitative factors include the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, changes in national, regional and local economic conditions that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio, changes in levels or trends in charge-offs and recoveries, changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, nonaccrual loans or loans classified special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and terms of loans, changes in lending policies and procedures, risk selection and underwriting standards, changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff, quality of loan review and Sunshine’s board of directors oversight and the effect of other external factors, trends or uncertainties that could affect Sunshine management’s estimate
144
of probable losses, such as competition and industry conditions. The qualitative component is critical in determining the allowance for loan losses as certain trends may indicate the need for changes to the allowance for loan losses based on factors beyond the historical loss history. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances Sunshine has established, which could result in a material negative effect on Sunshine’s financial results.
Other real estate owned. When Sunshine acquires real estate as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as other real estate owned until it is sold. The real estate is recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell, and any write-down resulting from the acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Estimated fair value is based on a new appraisal, which is obtained as soon as practicable, typically after the foreclosure process is completed. Subsequent decreases in the value of the property are charged to operations. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Income Taxes. There are two components of income taxes: current and deferred. Current income taxes reflect taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. Sunshine determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income taxes result from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination including resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. As of June 30, 2016, Sunshine management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on Sunshine’s financial statements.
Sunshine recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income taxes.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Total Assets.Total assets increased $7.5 million, or 1.5%, to $514.7 million at June 30, 2016 from $507.3 million at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $45.3 million in loans outstanding offset by a decrease of $35.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Total assets increased $277.4 million, or 120.7%, to $507.3 million at December 31, 2015 from $229.8 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of the merger with Community Southern. Sunshine completed the merger on June 30, 2015 adding approximately $250.4 million in total assets consisting of $44.4 million in securities available for sale, $171.5 million in total loans, and $34.5 million in all other assets. Following completion of the merger, Sunshine liquidated the securities portfolio acquired from Community Southern Bank and used the proceeds to pay off higher rate borrowings assumed in the merger. Management’s strategic transformation of the balance sheet from a traditional thrift to a full service commercial bank included an increase of $46.1 million or 42.4% growth in organic loans outstanding. The strategic transformation consisted mainly of a redeployment of short term investments and securities into higher yielding commercial and commercial real estate loans.
145
Cash and Cash Equivalents.Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $35.9 million, or 60.4%, to $23.5 million at June 30, 2016 from $59.3 million at December 31, 2015. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $9.9 million, primarily from increases in borrowings and subordinated notes. This was offset by cash used in investing and operations of $44.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily from increases in loans.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $38.9 million, or 189.8%, to $59.3 million at December 31, 2015 from $20.5 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was the net result of increases in cash received from the merger with Community Southern and branch acquisitions, from securities sales and maturities, and borrowings; partially offset by cash paid to stockholders of Community Southern and cash used for increases in loan originations, strategic investments in infrastructure, sales platforms, and new products.
Investment Securities.Investment securities increased $341,000, or 0.5%, to $66.3 million at June 30, 2016 from $65.9 million at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to $25.2 million in purchases of agency mortgage backed securities, offset by $11.9 million in maturities, repayments, and calls, and the sale of approximately $12.9 million in agency securities, resulting in a $131,000 gain. All of Sunshine’s investment securities were classified as available for sale at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Investment securities decreased $9.5 million, or 12.6%, to $65.9 million at December 31, 2015 from $75.5 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to approximately $14.5 million in maturities and calls and the sale of approximately $16.0 million in securities, resulting in a $195,000 gain during the first half of 2015. During the same period, management transferred all securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale at an estimated fair market value of $69.7 million. The transfer was performed to enhance the interest rate risk position of Sunshine Bank and to provide liquidity for future loan growth. The sales were initiated as part of the strategic plan to redeploy excess proceeds from the July 2014 offering, which were initially invested in lower yielding securities, into the higher yielding loan portfolio. The fourth quarter of 2015, included securities purchases of approximately $22.5 million as Sunshine Bank invested a portion of its excess funds into mortgage back securities. The expected average life of the investment portfolio as of December 31, 2015 was 2.7 years, assuming no changes in the current interest rate environment.
Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale decreased $1.2 million or 60.7% to $790,000 as of December 31, 2015, from $2.0 million at December 31, 2014. The balance of held for sale loans at the end of 2014 consisted almost entirely of classified loans that were transferred to held for sale and written down to their fair market value in the fourth quarter of 2014. These loans were sold in January 2015. The balance in loans held for sale as of December 31, 2015 represented construction loans that will be sold through correspondent relationships upon modification to permanent loans.
Net Loans.Sunshine’s primary interest-earning asset and source of income is its loan portfolio. Net loans increased $45.3 million, or 13.9%, to $371.5 million at June 30, 2016 from $326.3 million at December 31, 2015. The growth consisted of increases of $31.6 million in commercial real estate loans, $14.1 million in commercial loans, and $3.6 million in home equity loans, partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in one-to-four family residential loans. During the first half of 2016, Sunshine Bank continued its strategic emphasis to focus more of its lending activities on the origination of commercial loans. This emphasis stresses Sunshine Bank’s effort on relationship banking and targeted asset class diversification within the loan portfolio.
Net loans increased $217.6 million, or 200.2%, to $326.3 million at December 31, 2015 from $108.7 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the Community Southern merger which resulted in a net loan increase of $171.5 million. The acquired loan portfolio consisted of $83.6 million in commercial real estate loans, $34.2 million in commercial loans, $34.0 million in one-to four-family residential loans and $19.7 million in other loans. Sunshine Bank also experienced strong organic growth in originated loans of $46.1 million. The growth was mostly comprised of increases in commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a decrease in one-to four-family residential loans.
Premises and equipment, net. Premises and equipment increased $11.5 million, or 190.0%, to $17.6 million at December 31, 2015 from $6.1 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in premises and equipment was
146
comprised of $6.1 million in buildings and equipment acquired from Community Southern Bank, $2.6 million in buildings acquired from First Federal Bank of Florida, and approximately $2.8 million in infrastructure investments needed for the implementation of Sunshine’s strategic plan. This included software and equipment for new products, new branding of Sunshine Bank’s acquisitions, and major renovations to Sunshine’s headquarters in Plant City.
Deposits.Deposits decreased $3.8 million, or 1.0%, to $395.3 million at June 30, 2016 from $399.1 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the run off of $7.2 million in time deposits, offset by an increase of $3.4 million in core deposits. The decrease in time deposits resulted mainly from Sunshine Bank allowing large municipal deposits requiring collateralization to run off. The increase in core deposits was a result of Sunshine Bank’s continued effort to attract low cost demand accounts. Sunshine Bank continued its efforts to attract new customers and offer more banking options to existing relationships by opening two new full service offices in Tampa and Orlando during the first quarter of 2016.
Deposits increased $235.2 million, or 143.5%, to $399.1 million at December 31, 2015 from $163.9 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the Community Southern merger and the First Federal branch acquisitions, which resulted in an increase in deposits of $178.9 million and $47.0 million, respectively. The assumed deposits were comprised of core deposits (consisting of noninterest-bearing, NOW, money market and savings accounts) of $190.9 million and noncore deposits (consisting of time deposits) of $82.0 million. Organic deposit growth during 2015 totaled $9.3 million or 5.7%. Sunshine Bank continued its efforts to attract new customers and retain relationships by investing in a modern infrastructure, enhancing its online and mobile banking products, expanding deposit products and services, and introducing a full suite of business banking products.
Borrowings.Other borrowings, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and customer repurchase sweep agreements, increased $2.7 million to $31.6 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $28.9 million at December 31, 2015. The slight increase offset the loss of time deposits. The $30.0 million in FHLB advances are secured by a blanket asset lien on loans with maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $128.5 million at June 30, 2016, collateralized by residential and commercial real estate loans. The customer repurchase sweep agreements are secured by securities with a market value of $4.0 million at June 30, 2016.
Subordinated notes (the “Notes”) were $11.0 million at June 30, 2016. There were no notes outstanding at December 31, 2015. The Notes were issued on March 30, 2016, to two accredited investors. The investors included a corporation owned and controlled by George Parmer, who is a director of Sunshine, which purchased $7.0 million in principal amount of the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per year. The Notes have a maturity date of April 1, 2021. The Notes are redeemable at Sunshine’s option, in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty or premium, subject to any required regulatory approvals. Sunshine contributed the proceeds from the Notes to Sunshine Bank as equity capital to support Sunshine Bank’s continued growth, including ongoing lending activities.
Borrowings increased to $28.9 million at December 31, 2015 as a result of two short-term FHLB advances and $1.4 million in customer repurchase agreement accounts, a product offering acquired in the Community Southern merger. The FHLB advances are secured by a blanket asset lien on residential and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2015, Sunshine Bank had total unused borrowing capacity of $60.8 million at the FHLB. The other borrowings are secured by securities with a market value of $4.0 million at December 31, 2015.
Stockholders’ Equity.Stockholders’ equity increased $848,000, or 1.2%, to $72.2 million at June 30, 2016, as a result of net income of $227,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, $425,000 in additional paid in capital from stock-based compensation and $196,000 in other comprehensive income mainly from increases in unrealized gains on securities.
Stockholders’ equity increased $9.8 million, or 15.9%, to $71.4 million at December 31, 2015. The increase included an $11.4 million increase from the net proceeds of the private placement offering, a $591,000 increase
147
from stock based compensation awards, and a $171,000 increase from the release of ESOP shares. These increases were partially offset by the $2.2 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $108,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, mostly from increases in unrealized gains on securities.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, and the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
General
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $73,000 compared to a net loss of $151,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net income was primarily due to increases in net interest income of $2.2 million and, due to the growth in Sunshine’s assets, an increase in noninterest income of $822,000. These increases in revenue were offset by increases in noninterest expense of $1.0 million and provision for loan losses of $350,000. The increase in noninterest expense was mostly comprised of increases in compensation, occupancy, and data processing expenses due to the expanded size and footprint of Sunshine. These increases in expenses were offset partially by a decrease of $768,000 in merger-related expenses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $227,000 compared to a net loss of $504,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $4.5 million and an increase in noninterest income of $1.1 million due to the growth in Sunshine’s assets. These increases in revenue were offset by increases in noninterest expense of $2.7 million and provision for loan losses of $350,000. The increase in noninterest expense was mostly comprised of increases in compensation, occupancy, and data processing expenses due to the expanded size and footprint of Sunshine. These increases in expenses were offset partially by a decrease of $1.0 million in merger-related expenses.
Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The $216,000 decrease in net loss was primarily due to increases in revenue resulting from Sunshine Bank’s increased size and growth in higher yielding assets. This improvement was the result of an increase in net interest income of $5.1 million, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $2.5 million, an increase in noninterest income of $873,000 and an increase in income tax benefit of $731,000; partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $9.0 million. The increase in noninterest expense was mostly comprised of expenses related to the Community Southern merger, increases in salaries and benefits expense, and expenses related to the investment in expanding the lending, credit, risk, and compliance functions of Sunshine Bank, severance costs, and other increases related to infrastructure costs.

Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Interest income increased $5.6 million, or 88.7%, to $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily as a result of a $5.5 million increase in interest income on loans. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from an $111.1 million increase in the average balance of interest-earnings assets to $314.3 million and a 68 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.77% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the prior year. The increase in the average yield and average balance was attributable to management’s focus on growing the higher yielding loan portfolio and the Community Southern merger, resulting in a shift from low interest yielding investment securities and cash into commercial loans.
Interest income on loans increased $5.5 million, or 101.1%, to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 due mainly to the increase in the average balance of loans.

The average yield on loans increased 17 basis points to
149
5.00% for the year ended December 31, 2015 from 4.86% for the year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of the increase in commercial loans in the portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2015, Sunshine Bank recognized $151,000 of past due interest due to the payoff of a restructured loan in the first quarter.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $21,000, or 2.98%, to $683,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 as a result of the $5.3 million decrease in the average balance.

Interest Expense
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Interest expense increased $381,000, or 536.6%, to $452,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as the result of the increase in deposits as a result of the completion of the Community Southern merger and the branch acquisition and the $147,000 increase in borrowing costs from the subordinated debt and increased use of short-term FHLB advances. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 20 basis points to 0.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 0.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, reflecting the slightly higher deposit rates assumed in the Community Southern merger. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $166.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $306.5 million compared to the prior year period due to the Community Southern merger. The average balance of borrowings increased $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to the $11.0 million in subordinated debt and increased use of short-term FHLB advances which currently serve as a lower rate means of funding than time deposits.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Interest expense increased $654,000, or 473.9%, to $792,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase can be attributed to the increase in average deposits and the increased borrowing costs of $172,000, mostly from the $11.0 million subordinated notes issued in March 2016 and increased usage of short-term FHLB advances. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $171.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $308.4 million, due to mainly to the increased deposits assumed in the Community Southern merger. The average cost of deposits increased by 20 basis points to 0.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 0.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due mainly to the higher rates assumed in the Community Southern merger. The average balance of borrowings increased $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from the $11.0 million in subordinated debt issued on March 30, 2016 and increased use of short-term FHLB advances which currently serve as a lower rate means of funding than time deposits.
Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Interest expense increased $453,000, or 152.0%, to $751,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $298,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase can be attributed to the increase in average deposits and the increase in borrowings in 2015. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $79.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 to $213.6 million, due mainly to the increased deposits assumed in the Merger and branch acquisitions. The average cost of deposits increased by 9 basis points to 0.31% for the year December 31, 2015 from 0.22% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increased cost of deposits was mostly due to slightly higher rates on the assumed deposits of Community Southern Bank. The average balance of borrowings increased $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The average rate on borrowings was 0.54% which added 2 basis points to the overall cost of funds.

Net Interest Income
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
The effect of higher average balances on loans and securities and an increased average yield on loans and securities has increased Sunshine Bank’s net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. Net interest income increased $4.5 million, or 132.5%, to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in Sunshine’s net interest rate spread to 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 3.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Sunshine’s net interest margin increased to 3.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Net interest income increased $5.1 million, or 85.5%, to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the prior year due to effect of higher average balances on loans and an increased average yield on loans, securities, and other interest earning assets.

Sunshine Bank’s net interest margin increased to 3.53% for the year ended December 31, 2015 from 2.94% for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Provision for Loan Losses
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Sunshine recorded a $350,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Although Sunshine has continued to experience strong credit quality, the need for additional provision was necessitated by the growth in loans, which grew 40.0% on an annualized basis during the second quarter. Net recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $13,000 compared to net recoveries of $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Management considers the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2016 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on an assessment of the qualitative and quantitative factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact Sunshine’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of Sunshine’s allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to Sunshine’s provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Sunshine recorded a $350,000 provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to no provision for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The need for additional provision was necessitated by the
151
growth in loans, which grew 28.0% on an annualized basis during the first half of the year. Net recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $34,000 compared to net recoveries of $157,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Sunshine Bank recorded no provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to a provision of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $785,000 compared to net charge-offs of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. In June 2014, commercial business loans made to a restaurant operator defaulted resulting in a charge of $625,000. Additional commercial credits were charged off for a total amount of $586,000 due to weak cash flow projections. During 2014, management also implemented a strategy to solidify the balance sheet and enhance asset quality. As a result, management initiated two loan sales for classified loans. A group of classified commercial real estate loans were charged down by $658,000 and sold during the year. Another group of loans consisting of classified one-to four-family real estate and land loans were transferred to loans held for sale at the end of 2014 with charge offs of $674,000, and were subsequently sold in January 2015.
Accounting for business combinations under the GAAP acquisition method prohibits “carrying over” valuation allowances, such as the allowance for loan losses. Uncertainties relating to the expected future cash flows was reflected in the fair value measurement of the acquired loans and reflected in the purchase price. Sunshine Bank will establish loan loss allowances for the acquired loans in periods after the Community Southern merger, but only for losses incurred on these loans due to credit deterioration after such merger.
Noninterest Income
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Noninterest income increased $822,000, or 251.4%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $327,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily related to a $563,000 gain recognized on the sale-leaseback of Sunshine Bank’s Brandon office. The sale will enable Sunshine Bank to build a more efficient office on part of the land sold. Sunshine Bank also experienced a $176,000 increase in fees and service charges on deposit accounts, a $52,000 increase in gains on securities sales, and a $25,000 increase in income from bank-owned life insurance.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015

The increase was primarily related to a $195,000 gain on sales of securities, a $177,000 increase in income from bank-owned life insurance, a $171,000 increase in the deposit related fees, and a $224,000 increase in gains on the sales of other real estate owned.
Noninterest Expenses
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase primarily reflected an increase of $833,000 in salaries and
152
employee benefits expense. The salaries and employee benefits expense increase quarter over quarter was mostly attributable to Sunshine’s 2015 equity plan and the increased number of employees resulting from the expanded footprint of Sunshine Bank. Occupancy, data processing, and other expenses have all increased proportionally with the increased size of Sunshine. Sunshine also had a decrease of $768,000 in merger-related expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Non-interest expense increased $2.7 million, or 43.6%, to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase primarily reflected an increase of $1.9 million in salaries and employee benefits expense. The salaries and employee benefits expense increase period over period was attributable to the increased number of employees resulting from the Community Southern merger and branch acquisition and increased expense from the 2015 equity plan. The other expense categories grew proportionally with the increased size of Sunshine. Sunshine had a decrease of $1.0 million in merger-related expenses.
Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
Noninterest expenses increased $9.0 million, or 108.5%, to $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014. The increase in noninterest expense was mostly comprised of Community Southern merger related expenses, increases in salaries and benefits expense, and expenses related to the investment in expanding the lending, credit, risk, and compliance functions of Sunshine Bank, severance costs, and other increases related to infrastructure costs. The increase primarily reflected an increase of $5.1 million in salaries and employee benefits expense. The salaries and employee benefits expense increase year over year was attributable to the addition of key Sunshine Bank employees since October 2014 and the increased number of employees resulting from the Community Southern merger and branch acquisitions. The key employees have been critical to the organic growth during the year as well as preparing and positioning Sunshine for future organic and strategic growth. Most expense categories grew proportionally with the increased size of Sunshine. Sunshine had $1.3 million in merger related expenses associated with the Community Southern merger and $171,000 in acquisition related expense associated with the First Federal branch acquisition. Sunshine also had an increase of $255,000 in professional fees which related to the increased costs of legal and audit reporting as a public company.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015
Income taxes were $36,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to pretax income of $109,000 at a 33% effective tax rate compared to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to the pretax loss of $1.5 million and the change in accounting in estimate for bank owned life insurance which resulted in a $733,000 benefit.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on Sunshine’s net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Asset Quality
Non-Performing Assets. Sunshine defines non-performing loans as loans that are non-accruing, accruing 90 days or more past due, and non-accruing troubled debt restructurings. Non-performing assets, including non-performing loans and other real estate owned, totaled $1.3 million, or 0.26% of total assets, at June 30, 2016 as compared to $783,000, or 0.15% of total assets, at December 31, 2015. Sunshine had no accruing loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 or 2014.
Nonperforming loans decreased to $751,000, or 0.23%, of total loans, at December 31, 2015 from $892,000, or 0.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. During the year, we entered into one troubled debt restructuring, which had a balance of $323,000 at December 31, 2015. Our policy provides that troubled debt restructured loans are returned to accrual status after a period of satisfactory and reasonable future payment performance under the terms of the restructuring. Satisfactory payment performance is generally no less than six consecutive months of timely payments and demonstrated ability to continue to repay. During the year ended December 31, 2015, one loan with a recorded value of $86,000 that was modified prior to 2014 was not performing in accordance with its modified terms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes Sunshine’s ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of Sunshine Bank’s customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Sunshine Bank���s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from maturities and calls of securities. Sunshine Bank also has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Sunshine Bank had the capacity to borrow approximately $128.5 million and $88.3 million, respectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, Sunshine Bank had outstanding advances of approximately $30.0 million, $27.5 million, and $0, respectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Sunshine Bank also has lines of credit at three financial institutions that would allow it to borrow up to $25.5 million at June 30, 2016. No credit lines were drawn upon at June 30, 2016.
159
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Sunshine’s most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-earning demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on Sunshine’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.
The principle sources of Sunshine’s liquidity are its existing cash resources. Sunshine serves as a source of capital strength for Sunshine Bank. Sunshine has undertaken recent actions that demonstrate its ability to access capital and provide for the funding needs of Sunshine Bank. Cash on hand at Sunshine represents mainly the proceeds of the December 2015 private placement of common stock, which raised proceeds of approximately $11.4 million. On March 30, 2016, Sunshine also issued $11.0 million in subordinated notes, the proceeds of which were contributed to Sunshine Bank to support the growing loan demand.
Sunshine has established an Asset/Liability Management (ALCO) policy and committee in order to maximize earnings performance while maintaining acceptable levels of risks, adequate liquidity, and a “well capitalized” balance sheet. ALCO reviews and approves products, pricing, and strategies that affect balance sheet, cash flows, and liquidity positions. ALCO has also established a contingency funding plan to address risks associated with periods of liquidity stress. Sunshine is committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. Sunshine monitors its liquidity position on a daily basis. Sunshine anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments.
At June 30, 2016, Sunshine exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of 12.1% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of 5.00% to be considered “well capitalized”, common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.7%, which is above the required level of 6.50% to be considered “well capitalized”, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.7%, which is above the required level of 8.00% to be considered “well capitalized”, and total risk-based capital of 15.4% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of 10.00% to be considered “well capitalized”. The capital conservation buffer was 7.44% exceeding the minimum of 0.625% for 2016. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change Sunshine’s category.
Sunshine’s cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.
Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $951,000 primarily from decreases in other liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $639,000. During the year ended December 31, 2015, Sunshine had an increase in deferred tax asset of $1.5 million and $1.2 million decrease in loans held for sale, mainly from $1.9 million received from the proceeds of sales on loans held for sale at the end of 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, Sunshine is routinely a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made by Sunshine Bank. At June 30, 2016, Sunshine Bank had unfunded loan commitments of $58.8 million and stand-by letters of credit of $739,000. Sunshine anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current lending commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2016 totaled $87.3 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits are not retained, Sunshine may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of operations, Sunshine enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Price
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on Sunshine’s operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

FBC’S BUSINESS
General
FBC is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, for FBC Bank, and is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida. FBC Bank is a full service Florida chartered commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the State of Florida and commenced operations in 2005. FBC provides a wide range of business and consumer financial services in its target service area of Orange and Brevard Counties in Florida. FBC conducts operations from its Orlando, Florida headquarters and its six branch offices located in Central Florida.
FBC’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC up to applicable limits. The operations of FBC are subject to the supervision and regulation of the FDIC and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.
FBC provides a wide range of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and industries. The basic services offered by FBC include: demand interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts, money-market deposit accounts, NOW accounts, time deposits, safe deposit services, debit cards, direct deposits, notary services, money orders, night depository, cashier’s checks, domestic collections, bank drafts, automated teller services, drive-in tellers, banking by mail and a full range of consumer loans, both collateralized and uncollateralized. In addition, FBC makes secured and unsecured commercial and real estate loans and issues stand-by letters of credit. FBC provides automated teller machine (ATM) cards and is a member of the Jeanie, Pulse and Plus ATM network thereby permitting customers to utilize the convenience of FBC’s ATM network along with these other ATM networks both nationwide and internationally. FBC does not have trust powers and, accordingly, no trust services are provided.
FBC’s target market is consumers, professionals, small businesses, developers and commercial real estate investors. The small business customer has the opportunity to generate significant revenue for banks yet is generally underserved by large bank competitors. These customers generally have the resources to generate greater profits.
FBC has actively pursued its targeted market for deposits, particularly the small businesses and professionals. FBC endeavors to offer leading technology to the marketplace. Such technology includes debit cards and voice response account information systems. The goal is to provide a “high tech—high touch” experience.
FBC’s revenues are primarily derived from interest on, and fees received in connection with, real estate and other loans, from interest and dividends on investment securities, service charge income generated from demand accounts, ATM fees, and other services. The principal sources of funds for FBC’s lending activities are its deposits (primarily business deposits), loan repayments, and proceeds from investment securities. The principal expenses of FBC are the interest paid on deposits, and operating and general administrative expenses.
As is the case with banking institutions generally, FBC’s operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand and availability of funds. FBC faces strong competition in the attraction of deposits (its primary source of lendable funds) and in the origination of loans.
162
FBC’s business strategy is to operate as a profitable, diversified financial services company providing a variety of banking and other financial services, with an emphasis on commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans to small and medium-sized businesses and consumer lending. FBC emphasizes comprehensive retail and business products and responsive, decentralized decision-making, which reflect FBC’s knowledge of its local markets and customers.
Banking Services
Commercial Banking.FBC primarily focuses on originating investor-owned and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, including multifamily loans. FBC targets its commercial loan originations on small and mid-sized businesses (generally up to $25 million in annual sales) and such loans are usually accompanied by significant related deposits. Commercial underwriting is driven by cash flow analysis supported by collateral analysis and review. Commercial loan products include: working capital loans and lines of credit; demand, term and time loans; and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable financing. FBC offers a range of cash management services and deposit products to its commercial customers. Online banking is currently available to FBC’s customers.
Retail Banking. FBC’s retail banking activities emphasize business deposit and checking accounts. A range of these services is offered by FBC to meet the varied needs of its customers from young persons to senior citizens. In addition to traditional products and services, FBC offers contemporary products and services, such as debit cards, Internet banking and electronic bill payment services.
Lending Services
Loan Portfolio Composition. At June 30, 2016, FBC’s loan portfolio totaled $228.8 million, representing approximately 72% of its total assets of $315.6 million. FBC had $1.1 million in nonperforming loans or approximately 0.4% of total assets at June 30, 2016 compared to $1.5 million or 0.7% of total assets at December 31, 2015.
Real Estate Mortgage Loans.At June 30, 2016, FBC’s real estate loan portfolio totaled $185.7 million or 80% of total loans. FBC originates mortgage loans secured by commercial and residential real estate.
Commercial Real Estate.At June 30, 2016, FBC’s commercial real estate loan portfolio totaled $127.3 million or about 69% of the $185.7 million outstanding in total real estate mortgage loans. Such loans are primarily secured by retail buildings, warehouses and general purpose office space. Although terms may vary, FBC’s commercial real estate loans generally are variable rate loans that adjust every five years based on a spread to the five-year U.S. Treasury rate. The portfolio is comprised of both investor-owned and owner-occupied loans. FBC seeks to reduce the risks associated with commercial real estate lending by generally lending in its market area and obtaining periodic financial statements and tax returns from its borrowers. It is also FBC’s general policy to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers and assignments of all leases related to the collateral.
Residential Real Estate Loans.At June 30, 2016, FBC’s residential real estate loan portfolio totaled $26.0 million or 14% of the $185.7 million outstanding in real estate mortgage loans. Such loans are mainly secured by first mortgages on primary residences and investment properties. FBC offers a variety of loan products that vary in terms.
Construction Loans and Land Development.At June 30, 2016, FBC’s construction and land development loan portfolio totaled $32.5 million. FBC provides interim real estate acquisition, development and construction loans to builders, developers, and persons who will ultimately occupy the building. Real estate development and construction loans to provide interim financing on the property are based on acceptable percentages of the appraised value of the property securing the loan in each case. Real estate development and construction loan
163
funds are disbursed periodically at pre-specified stages of project completion. Interest rates on these loans are generally adjustable. FBC carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and control of disbursements.
Development and construction loans are secured by the properties under development or construction and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, FBC takes into consideration the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and any guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sale information.
Commercial Loans.At June 30, 2016, FBC’s commercial loan portfolio totaled $27.5 million. FBC originates secured and unsecured loans for business purposes. Loans are made for acquisition, expansion, and working capital purposes and may be secured by real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other assets. The financial condition and cash flow of commercial borrowers are closely monitored by the submission of corporate financial statements, personal financial statements and income tax returns. The frequency of submissions of required financial information depends on the size and complexity of the credit and the collateral that secures the loan. It is FBC’s general policy to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of the commercial loan borrowers.
Consumer and Other Loans.At June 30, 2016, FBC’s consumer and other loans portfolio totaled $18.5 million, the majority of which were home equity lines of credit.
Credit Administration
FBC’s lending activities are subject to written policies approved by the Board of Directors to ensure proper management of credit risk. Loans are subject to a defined credit process that includes credit evaluation of borrowers, risk-rating of credits, establishment of lending limits and application of lending procedures, including the holding of adequate collateral and the maintenance of compensating balances, as well as procedures for on-going identification and management of credit deterioration. Regular portfolio reviews are performed to identify potential underperforming credits, estimate loss exposure, and to ascertain compliance with FBC’s policies. The review includes an evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrower and the guarantor, the related collateral and the effects of economic conditions.
FBC generally does not make commercial real estate, commercial or consumer loans outside its market area unless the borrower has an established relationship with FBC and conducts its principal business operations within FBC’s market area. Consequently, FBC and its borrowers are affected by the economic conditions prevailing in its market area.
Competition
FBC operates in a highly competitive environment competing for deposits and loans with commercial banks, thrifts and other financial institutions, many of which have greater financial resources than FBC. Many large financial institutions compete for business in its service area. Certain of these institutions have significantly higher lending limits than FBC does and provide services to their customers, which FBC does not offer.
As of June 30, 2016, Orange and Brevard Counties, Florida was served by approximately 41 financial institutions, operating a total of 415 retail branches. At June 30, 2016, FBC had a deposit market share of 0.5% in Orange and Brevard Counties.
FBC believes that it is able to compete favorably with its competitors because FBC provides timely, responsive, personalized services through its knowledge and awareness of its service area, customers and business.

FBC’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis provides supplemental information, which sets forth the major factors that have affected FBC’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis is divided into subsections entitled “General Overview,” “Results of Operations,” “Financial Condition,” “Liquidity,” “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”, “Capital Reserves”, “Market Price and Dividends on FBC’s Common Stock” and “Critical Accounting Policies.” Information in these subsections is intended to facilitate a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect FBC’s earnings performance and financial condition, and how its performance compares with previous periods.
General Overview
FBC’s profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference between the interest received on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses, operating expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest income such as service charges on deposit accounts and merchant service fees.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2014
General. Net earnings was $2.3 million, or $0.74 per basic share for 2015 compared to $2.0 million or $0.64 per basic share in 2014. The $317,000 or 16.0% increase in net earnings occurred primarily due to an increase in the net interest income in the amount $855,000 and a $404,000 increase in noninterest income partially offset by with a $827,000 increase in noninterest expenses and an increase in income taxes of $192,000. Return on average assets for 2015 was .83%, compared to .79% in 2014. Return on average equity for 2015 was 7.47% compared to 6.96% in 2014.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $10.7 million for 2015, an increase of about $855,000 or 8.7% compared to net interest income of $9.8 million earned in 2014. Net interest income increased primarily due to an increase of 940,000 in interest income, offset in part by an increase of $85,000 in interest expense.
167
Net Interest Income Analysis. The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. All average balances are monthly average balances. Nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $11.3 million compared to $10.4 million for the same period in 2014. The yield on loans decreased slightly from 5.44% for the year ended December 31, 2014 to 5.35% for the comparable period of 2015, although loans yield decreased, average loan volume increased by $20.7 million, or 11.40% in the period ended 2015.
Interest earned on investment securities totaled $515,000 for 2015, compared to $522,000 in 2014, which represents a decrease of 1.3%. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities and other earning assets from $24.0 million in 2014 to $20.9 million in 2015.
Interest earned on securities totaled $515,000 for 2015, compared to $522,000 in 2014, which represents a decrease of 1.3%. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of securities from $24.0 million in 2014 to $20.9 million in 2015.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $619,000 for 2015, up $85,000 or 15.9% from the $534,000 incurred for 2014. This was due to an increase in overall average interest rates from 0.37% for 2014 to 0.42% for 2015. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $142.8 million for 2014 to $146.1 million for 2015.
During 2015, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $3.7 million or 2.6% over 2014. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.38% for 2014 to 0.43% for 2015.
Provision for Loan Losses. FBC recorded no provision for loan losses during 2015, compared to a $77,000 during 2014. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a significant increase in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans were $1.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2015. Net recoveries were $61,000 for 2014 compared to net charge-off of $2,000 for 2015. Local economic conditions continued to improve during 2015, resulting in higher employment levels and stabilizing real estate values, among other factors, which served to reduce the level of provision required.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $.4 million from $1.2 million during 2014 to $1.6 million during 2015. The significant increase was the result of increased gains for the sale of loans originated for sale.
169
Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses were $8.6 million for 2015, compared to $7.8 million for 2014. This reflects an increase of $827,000 or 10.7%. Most expenses increased during 2015 because of the growth of FBC Bank.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.4 million in 2015, compared to $1.2 million for 2014 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate for 2015 was 38.4%, compared to 38.5% in 2014. The differences in the effective tax rates from the statutory 34% federal income tax rate include the addition of state income taxes along with the impact of nondeductible expenses.

During the first six months of 2016, central Florida has seen an increase in the real estate markets which has significantly impacted FBC’s efforts to provide loan portfolio growth. The growth in net loans during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $16.3 million or about 7.5%. This is in contrast to the $22.0 million or 11.4% rate of loan growth experienced for the year ended December 31, 2015. Apart from a meaningful increase in commercial real estate loan during the year ended December 31, 2015, there have not been any substantive changes in the loan portfolio mix with near-term expectations to be similar. Real estate activity is expected to pick up going forward, but competitive and pricing pressures will continue to be a challenge for FBC. FBC’s loan pipe-line is increasing at moderate levels and stratification of the portfolio is expected to remain consistent.

Due to the recent volatility in market interest rates and the resulting impact on the market value of FBC’s investment portfolio, FBC has not purchased securities over the last year. It has simply allowed the existing portfolio to amortize over the period. Accordingly, the portfolio decreased from $18.9 million at December 31, 2015 to $17.6 million as of June 30, 2016.
FBC follows GAAP, which requires companies to classify securities, including mortgage-backed securities, as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Securities classified as trading securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. FBC expects to continue to hold its securities classified as available-for-sale, changes in the underlying market values of such securities could have a material adverse effect on FBC’s capital position.
Deposits.Deposits are the major source of FBC’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. Deposits are attracted principally from within FBC’s primary market area through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments including checking accounts, money-market accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposits and retirement savings accounts.
Average deposits increased by $23.4 million or 9.6% to $265.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $242.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Likewise, average deposits increased by $22.3 million or 10.1% from $220.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 to the year ended December 31, 2015.

Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by FBC on a periodic basis. The determination of such rates and terms is predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal regulations.
Borrowings. FBC utilizes borrowings for several purposes to fund its operations and manage liquidity levels. At December 31, 2015, FBC had two unsecured federal funds purchased lines of credit totaling $10.0 million with no outstanding balances thereunder at such date. At December 31, 2015, FBC also had a line of credit from the FHLB secured by eligible loans totaling $20.7 million of which $0 was outstanding. At June 30, 2016, FBC had two unsecured federal funds purchased lines of credit aggregating $10.0 million with no balances outstanding under such facilities as of such date. At June 30, 2016, FBC also had a secured line of credit with the FHLB totaling $21.1 million under which it had $0 outstanding.
Other borrowings include customer sweep repurchase agreements which had an outstanding balance of $2.9 million at December 31, 2015, secured by the pledge of $2.9 million in investment securities. As of June 30, 2016, FBC had $2.9 million outstanding in such repurchase agreements, secured by the pledge of $2.9 million in securities.
FBC also maintains a line of credit under the Federal Reserve’s discount window, but does not consider this a typical source of funds in the usual course of business. This would be available for emergency short-term uses only.
FBC utilizes these borrowings to fund loan demand as well as maintain its liquidity position within established policies. Borrowings as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Liquidity
FBC’s primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payment on loans and on investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In a period of declining interest rates mortgage loan prepayments generally increase. As a result, the proceeds from mortgage loan prepayments are invested in lower yielding loans or other investments which have the effect of reducing interest income. In a period of rising interest rates mortgage loan prepayments generally decrease and the proceeds from such prepayments are invested in higher yielding loans or investments which would have the effect of increasing interest income.
FBC’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities. The primary investing activities of FBC are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. All other transactions such as the purchase of premises and equipment and the reinvestment of investment security maturities are common activities of FBC.
FBC’s investing activities have a direct correlation to the financing activities. Factors that influence FBC’s financing activities involve the collection of deposits and notes payable and repayments of borrowings. At June 30, 2016, FBC had the ability to borrow approximately $60.4 million in advances from the FHLB along with $10.0 million under its unsecured federal funds lines of credit. The issuance of stock could also have a direct effect on FBC’s financing activities. Any future payments of cash dividends on its common stock would likewise represent financing activities.
FBC maintains a certain level of cash and other liquid assets to fund normal volumes of loan commitments, deposit withdrawals and other obligations. The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations and other commitments at June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | | Within 1 Year | | | 1-5 Years | | | After 5 Years | | | Total | |
Time deposits | | | 9,470 | | | | 2,013 | | | | 0 | | | | 11,483 | |
Operating leases | | | 29 | | | | 12 | | | | 0 | | | | 41 | |
Financial commitments at June 30, 2016 whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
| | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | | | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 35,728 | |
Unused lines of credit | | | 4,415 | |
Standby letters of credit | | | 2,231 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 42,374 | |
| | | | |
FBC’s most liquid assets are cash and cash due from banks along with overnight funds invested in the Federal Reserve’s excess balance account. The levels of these assets are dependent on FBC’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and 2014, these liquid assets totaled $55.5 million, $40.9 million, and $17.8 million, respectively.
Liquidity management for FBC is both a daily and long-term function of its strategy. Excess funds are generally invested in overnight investments in FBC’s excess balance account with the Federal Reserve. In the event that FBC should require funds beyond its ability to quickly generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits.
At June 30, 2016, FBC had outstanding commitments to extend credit of $35.7 million. These commitments provide that the loans would be secured by properties located primarily in FBC’s local market areas. FBC anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. Certificates of
178
deposit that were scheduled to mature in one year or less from June 30, 2016 totaled $9.5 million. Based upon the historically stable nature of FBC’s deposit base, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with FBC. FBC also had unused lines of credit extended to customers of $4.4 million at June 30, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
FBC does not currently engage in the use of derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risks. However, FBC is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
At June 30, 2016, FBC had $35.7 million in commitments to extend credit and unused line of credit and $3.0 million in standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by FBC to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. FBC uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
To the extent that commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding at historical levels, management does not anticipate that such funding will adversely impact FBC’s ability to meet its on-going obligations. In the event these commitments require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes that current liquidity, availability under the secured FHLB line of credit, investment security maturities and sales, along with FBC’s unsecured lines of credit should provide sufficient sources of funds to meet these commitments.
Capital Resources
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, FBC was in compliance with all of the capital requirements as established by federal and state regulatory agencies.
FBC is subject to various requirements administered by the banking regulators. Failure to maintain minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory action by regulators that, if taken, could have a material effect on FBC’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines FBC must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. FBC’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk factors and other factors.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, FBC’s capital was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that time that management believes would have changed FBC’s classification as well capitalized.

FBC has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock since inception. FBC is subject to various regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital above regulatory minimums. In general, FBC may not pay dividends in excess of its net earnings for the most recent three years. The payment of future dividends, if any, will depend primarily upon FBC’s earnings, financial condition and need for funds, as well as restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities regarding dividend payments and net worth requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical industry loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that FBC will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in
180
relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, FBC does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences between revenues and expenses reported for financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. Valuation allowances are provided against assets which are not likely to be realized. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, FBC did not have any valuation allowances against any of its deferred tax assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company expenses the fair value of stock options granted. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in salaries and employee benefits for officers and employees in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods.

Amounts included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table for the year ended December 31, 2015 represent grants under Sunshine’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Notwithstanding that (1) 80% of these awards vest ratably over a four-year period following the grant date; and (2) the annual financial statement expense that Sunshine is required to recognize for these grants will be expensed ratably over the vesting period and will be significantly less than the amounts included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission rules require that Sunshine report the full grant date fair value of restricted stock and stock option awards in the year in which the grants are made. In addition, with respect to the stock options, the actual value, if any, realized by any named executive officers from any stock options will depend on the extent to which the market value of the Sunshine common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option on the date of exercise. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the value realized by a named executive officer will be at or near the value estimated above in the “Option Awards” column.
Short Term Cash Incentive Plan
On January 28, 2015, Sunshine Bank adopted the Sunshine Bank Executive Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Each named executive officer was eligible to participate in the plan in 2015. The Incentive Plan is based on overall performance against pre-defined performance factors. These factors may change from year to year and may be based on measures such as return on assets, return on equity, earnings per share or net income and additional strategic objectives appropriate for the plan year. The performance factors and weighing of the factors are determined at the beginning of each plan year. Each factor has quantifiable objectives consisting of threshold, target, and maximum goals. The award opportunities are calculated as a percentage of the participant’s base salary.
Annual goals are determined at the beginning of each plan year and may change from year to year. The goals are established each year by the compensation committee of Sunshine Bank’s board of directors, with input from the Chief Executive Officer. The Incentive Plan provides that if a performance factor is satisfied as a result of inappropriate risk, that performance factor will be deemed to not have been met for purposes of quantifying payments under the Incentive Plan. Sunshine Bank’s board of directors also has discretion to reduce incentive payments, on an individual or group basis, by as much as 100% if it is determined that excessive risk has been taken.
For the 2015 plan year, Sunshine’s board of directors established the following performance factors for determining annual incentive awards payable to the named executive officers: (1) core earnings per share; (2) non-performing assets to average assets; and (3) the achievement of pre-established strategic objectives related to the named executive officer’s executive position. The target payout level range (as a percentage of base salary) for the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers was 20% to 60% and 10% to 40%, respectively.
Based on the satisfaction of the performance factors noted above, the compensation committee of Sunshine Bank’s board of directors authorized the payments to the named executive officers under the Incentive Plan for 2015 plan year as set forth in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Sunshine Related Party Transactions
Transactions With Certain Related Persons
General.Any transactions that would be required to be reported under this section must be reviewed and approved by the audit committee of Sunshine’s board of directors. Any transaction with a director is reviewed to confirm that the transaction is on terms that are no less favorable as those that would be available to SunshineBank from an unrelated party through an arms-length transaction, that there is no conflict of interest and whether the provision of goods and services are available from unaffiliated third parties.
Loans and Extensions of Credit.The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally prohibits publicly traded companies from making loans to their executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans made by federally insured financial institutions, such as Sunshine Bank, to their executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations. Federal regulations permit executive officers and directors to receive the same terms that are widely available to other employees as long as the director or executive officer is not given preferential treatment compared to the other participating employees. Sunshine Bank made loans to its directors, executive officers and employees through an employee loan program pursuant to which loans were made at a reduced rate. The reduced rate was 50 basis points over the year-end cost of funds, adjusted annually. The program applied only to first mortgages on primary residences and was available to all employees of Sunshine Bank. No new loans will be originated under this program. The following table setsforth loans made by Sunshine Bank to its directors and executive officers where the largest amount of allindebtedness outstanding during the two years ended December 31, 2015 and all amounts of interest payable during such period exceeded $120,000, and where the borrowers received reduced interest rates pursuant to the employee loan program described above. Except for the reduced interest rates, all loans to directors andexecutive officers were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to persons not related to Sunshine Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Other than as described above and except for directors and executive officers whose loans were made on preferential terms but for which the principal balance has been less than $120,000 since January 1, 2014, all loans made by Sunshine Bank to executive officers, directors, immediate family members of executive officers and directors, or organizations with which executive officers and directors are affiliated, were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to persons not related to Sunshine Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Sunshine Bank is in compliance with federal regulations with respect to its loans and extensions of credit to executive officers and directors.
In addition, loans made to a director or executive officer or affiliate thereof must be approved in advance by a lending officer, the loan committee and the board of directors. The aggregate amount of loans made by Sunshine Bank to its executive officers and directors and their related affiliates was approximately $4.8 million (total includes authorized lines of credit that have not been drawn on) at December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, these loans were performing according to their original repayment terms.
FBC Related Party Transactions
Transactions With Certain Related Persons
General.Any transactions that would be required to be reported under this section must be reviewed and approved by the FBC board of directors. Any transaction with a director is reviewed to determine that thetransaction is on terms that are no less favorable as those that would be available to FBC Bank from an unrelatedparty through an arms-length transaction, that there is no conflict of interest, and whether the provision of goods and services are available from unaffiliated third parties.
Loans and Extensions of Credit.FBC Bank has outstanding loans to certain of its directors, executive officers, their associates and members of the immediate families of such directors and executive officers. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business, were made substantially on terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not affiliated with FBC Bank and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
Commercial Transactions.FBC Bank leases its Lake Nona, Florida office from Lake Nona Marketplace LLC which is owned by John Reich (a director of FBC Bank) and his wife. The lease commenced on October 1, 2014 and is for a term of three years with FBC Bank having two two-year renewal options. The initial annual rent was $33,600, plus pass-through charges (e.g., real estate taxes, common area maintenance, etc.) of $6,000. The rent increases $3,000 annually. During 2015, FBC Bank paid Lake Nona Marketplace LLC $42,966 and for thefirst six months of 2016, FBC Bank paid it $22,902 with those payments including rent, pass-through charges and sales taxes.
FBC Bank has a correspondent relationship with FBC Mortgage, LLC, which is owned in part by Sal A. (Joe) Nunizata (a director of FBC) and his brother.

DESCRIPTION OF SUNSHINE CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a brief description of the terms of the capital stock of Sunshine. This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects. The described is subject and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Maryland General Corporation Law and Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.
General
Sunshine is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of Sunshine common stock has the same relative rights as, and is identical in all respects to, each other share of common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock were duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable.
The shares of common stock of Sunshine represent nonwithdrawable capital, are not an account of an insurable type, and are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
Common Stock
Dividends. Sunshine can pay dividends on its common stock if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) it would be able to pay its indebtedness as the indebtedness comes due in the usual course of business and (ii) its total assets exceed the sum of its liabilities and the amount needed, if Sunshine were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any holders of capital stock who have a preference in the event of dissolution. The holders of common stock of Sunshine will be entitled to receive and share equally in dividends as may be declared by Sunshine’s board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. If Sunshine issues shares of preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock with respect to dividends.
Voting Rights. The holders of common stock of Sunshine have exclusive voting rights in Sunshine. They elect Sunshine’s board of directors and act on other matters as are required to be presented to them under Maryland law or as are otherwise presented to them by the board of directors. Generally, each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Sunshine’s common stock, however, will not be entitled or permitted to vote any shares of common stock held in excess of the 10% limit absent certain exceptions discussed previously. If Sunshine issues shares of preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights. Amendments to the articles of incorporation generally require, in addition to majority approval by Sunshine’s board of directors, a two-thirds approval of the outstanding shares eligible to vote, and certain amendments require the approval of 80% of the outstanding shares eligible to vote.
As a federal stock savings and loan association, corporate powers and control of Sunshine Bank will be vested in its board of directors, who elect the officers of Sunshine Bank and who fill any vacancies on the board of directors. Voting rights of Sunshine Bank will be vested exclusively in the owner of the shares of capital stock of Sunshine Bank, which will be Sunshine, and voted at the direction of Sunshine’s board of directors. Consequently, the holders of the common stock of Sunshine will not have direct control of Sunshine Bank.
Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Sunshine Bank, Sunshine, as the holder of 100% of Sunshine Bank’s capital stock, would be entitled to receive all assets of Sunshine Bank available for distribution, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of Sunshine Bank, including all deposit accounts and accrued interest thereon, and after distribution of the balance in the liquidation account to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Sunshine, the holders of its common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of Sunshine available fordistribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution.
198
Preemptive Rights. Holders of the common stock of Sunshine will not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares that may be issued, unless such preemptive rights are approved by Sunshine’s board of directors. The common stock is not subject to redemption.
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock may be issued with preferences and designations as Sunshine’s board of directors may from time to time determine. Sunshine’s board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights that could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHTS
After the merger, FBC shareholders will become stockholders of Sunshine and FBC shareholders’ rights will be governed by Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, Sunshine’s bylaws and the MGCL. The following summary discusses differences between Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and FBC’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and the differences between the FBCA and the MGCL. For information as to how to get the full text of each party’s respective articles of incorporation or bylaws, see “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page i.
We do not intend for the following summary to be a complete statement of the differences affecting the rights of FBC shareholders who become Sunshine stockholders, but rather as a summary of the more significant differences affecting the rights of such stockholders and certain important similarities. We qualify the following summary in its entirety by reference to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Sunshine, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FBC and applicable laws and regulations. We urge you to read Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, FBC’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and the MGCL, the FBCA and federal law governing bank holding companies in their entirety.
Removal of Directors; Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, unless otherwise provided in Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, the Sunshine stockholders may remove any directors, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally for the election of directors. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation provide, however, that members of the Sunshine board of directors may be removed from office for cause only, and only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote. When holders of a series of preferred stock of Sunshine, voting separately as a class, have the right to elect one or more directors, the above removal procedures do not apply to those directors. Vacancies in the Sunshine board of directors, however caused, may be filled by a two-thirds majority vote of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any director so chosen will hold office for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified. | | FBC The FBCA permits a corporation’s shareholders to remove directors with or without cause. FBC’s bylaws provide that the shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause at a meeting of shareholders (provided that the notice of the meeting states that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of a director). Under the FBCA and FBC’s bylaws, the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum, may, by majority vote, fill vacancies on the board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors or resulting from a removal from office. |
Quorum of Stockholders
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL and Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting of the stockholders constitutes a quorum. | | FBC Under the FBCA and FBC’s bylaws, the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter to be considered, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum for action on the matter. |
200
Adjournment and Notice of Stockholder Meetings
| | |
SUNSHINE Under Sunshine’s bylaws, the majority of the members of the board of directors or a majority of the shares attending any regular or special meeting of stockholders (whether or not a quorum is present) may adjourn the meeting without further notice to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. Under the MGCL, any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date of the original meeting of stockholders. | | FBC Under the FBCA, if a quorum is not present or represented at a shareholders’ meeting, a majority of the shareholders present and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time. Under FBC’s bylaws, notice of an adjourned meeting need not be provided if the record date has not changed and the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting is announced at the meeting before it is adjourned. |
Call of Special Meetings of Stockholders
| | |
SUNSHINE Sunshine’s bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or by the Board of Directors by a majority resolution. The bylaws also provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the secretary of Sunshine at the written request of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the shares entitled to be cast at the meeting. The MGCL provides also that a special meeting of the stockholders may be called by the president of a corporation. | | FBC FBC’s bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Board of Directors or when requested in writing by holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of FBC. |
Stockholder Consent in Lieu of Meeting
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if the written consents signed by all of the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose are delivered to the corporation. | | FBC Under the FBCA and FBC’s bylaws, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders of FBC may be taken without a meeting, if, prior or subsequent to the action, one or more written consents are signed by the holders of the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize that action at a meeting. An action taken by consent will only become effective upon compliance with certain delivery and notice requirements. |
Dissenters’ Rights
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that enable stockholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction and to demand that the corporation pay the | | FBC Under the FBCA, shareholders have dissenters’ rights in connection with certain mergers, share exchanges, sales or other dispositions of all or |
201
| | |
“fair value” for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Dissenters’ rights are not available in all circumstances, and exceptions to these rights are provided under the MGCL. Generally speaking, under the MGCL, dissenters’ rights are denied to holders of shares in certain circumstances including where the applicable class or series of stock is listed on a national securities exchange (not applicable where the beneficial owners, in the aggregate, own 5% or more of the voting stock of the company) or where the stock received is that of the successor in the merger and the merger does not alter the rights of the stockholder. However, under Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, holders of Sunshine common stock shall not be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights unless Sunshine’s board of directors, pursuant to a majority resolution, determine that such rights apply with respect to all or any classes or series of stock, in instances where holders of such shares would otherwise be entitled to exercise such rights. | | substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business, approval of certain control-share acquisitions and amendments of the articles of incorporation that would materially and adversely affect the rights or preferences of shares held by the dissenting shareholders. Under the FBCA, dissenters’ rights are generally denied with respect to shares listed on a national securities exchange or when the corporation’s shares are held of record by at least 2,000 persons and such outstanding shares have a market value of at least $10 million, not counting the value of certain insider shares. |
Derivative Actions
| | |
SUNSHINE Under Maryland law, a stockholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the company. Before a stockholder can make such a demand, they must first make a demand on the board of directors to bring an action on behalf of the company or show why such a demand would be futile. | | FBC Under the FBCA, a person may bring a derivative action only if the person was a shareholder of FBC at the time of the alleged wrongdoing or became a shareholder through transfer by operation of law from one who was a shareholder at the time of the alleged wrongdoing. Before bringing a derivative action on behalf of the company, the person must make a demand upon the board of directors. |
Dividends and Distributions
| | |
SUNSHINE Subject to any restrictions in a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, the MGCL generally provides that a corporation may make distributions to its stockholders unless after giving effect thereto: • the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or • the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that upon its dissolution it would need to satisfy any preferential rights of other stockholders. | | FBC Under the FBCA, subject to any restrictions in a corporation’s articles of incorporation, a corporation may make distributions to its shareholders unless, after giving effect thereto: • the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or • the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that it would need upon its dissolution to satisfy any preferential rights of other shareholders. |
202
| | |
Subject to the terms of any Sunshine preferred stock then outstanding, neither Sunshine’s articles of incorporation nor its bylaws contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions to stockholders. | | FBC’s articles of incorporation do not contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions to holders of its common stock, except restrictions that benefit certain classes or series of preferred stock, none of which are outstanding. |
Classes of Stock with Preferential Rights
| | |
SUNSHINE The articles of incorporation of Sunshine authorize the Sunshine board of directors to issue, from time to time, by action of its members, shares of Sunshine’s authorized, undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more classes or series. In connection with any such issuance, the Sunshine board of directors may determine the designation, voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation rights, participation, redemption, sinking fund, conversion, dividend or other special rights or powers, and the limitations, qualifications and restrictions of such shares of preferred stock. The Sunshine articles of incorporation provide for 5,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock. Currently, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. Sunshine previously issued 5,700 shares of Series A Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock that have been redeemed. Sunshine’s board of directors, acting by majority resolution, may amend Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, without stockholder approval, to increase or decrease the amount of authorized preferred stock. | | FBC The articles of incorporation of FBC authorize the FBC board of directors to issue, from time to time, by action of its members, shares of FBC’s authorized, undesignated preferred stock, par value $5.00 per share, in one or more classes or series. In connection with any such issuance, the FBC board of directors may determine the designation, voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation rights, participation, redemption, sinking fund, conversion, dividend or other special rights or powers, and the limitations, qualifications and restrictions of such shares of preferred stock. The FBC articles of incorporation provide for 1,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock. Currently, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. |
Director Qualifications, Number and Term
| | |
SUNSHINE The articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of directors may be fixed from time to time by the vote of Sunshine’s board of directors provided that the number shall never be less than the minimum required by the MGCL. Each director serves for three years and until his or her successor shall have been elected. The directors are divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible with the term in office of one class to expire each year. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation also provides certain minimum director qualifications, including no regulatory discipline related to financial or securities agencies, no specified positions at competing banks operating in the same region as Sunshine and maximum age requirements. | | FBC FBC’s bylaws provide that FBC shall initially have ten (10) directors and such number may be increased or decreased from time to time by FBC’s board of directors. FBC’s bylaws further provide that FBC’s board of directors shall be elected annually at FBC’s annual meeting of shareholders. Under the FBCA and FBC’s bylaws, a director need not be a resident of Florida. In addition, under FBC’s bylaws, directors must own at least 100 shares of FBC common stock. |
203
Nomination of Directors
| | |
SUNSHINE The Sunshine bylaws provide that nominations for election to the Sunshine board of directors may be made by the Sunshine board of directors or by any stockholder of any outstanding class of capital stock entitled to vote for election of directors. Nominations by Sunshine stockholders must be made in writing and delivered or mailed to and received by Sunshine by no later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement relating to the preceding year’s annual meeting and not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement relating to the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, that if (A) less than 90 days’ prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders and (B) the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, such written notice shall be timely if delivered or mailed to an received by the Secretary of Sunshine at its principal executive office not later than the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such meeting is first made. A notice with respect to director nominations must include (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, (i) all information relating to such person that would indicate such person’s qualification to serve on Sunshine’s board of directors (ii) an affidavit that such person would not be disqualified under the provisions of Article II, Section 12 of Sunshine’s bylaws; (iii) such information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor rule or regulation, and (iv) a written consent of each proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice: (i) the name and address of such stockholder as they appear on Sunshine’s books and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made; (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other | | FBC FBC’s bylaws provide that directors are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. |
204
| | |
person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder; (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice; and (v) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. | | |
Cumulative Voting
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, cumulative voting in the election of directors is not available unless the articles of incorporation of the corporation provide for cumulative voting. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. | | FBC Under the FBCA, cumulative voting in the election of directors is not available unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide for cumulative voting. FBC’s articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. |
Limitations on Voting
| | |
SUNSHINE Sunshine’s articles of incorporation provide that holders of common stock who beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of Sunshine common stock (the “Limit”) are not entitled to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the Limit. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation authorize Sunshine’s board of directors (i) to make all determinations necessary to implement and apply the Limit, including determining whether persons or entities are acting in concert, and (ii) to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own stock in excess of the Limit supply information to enable Sunshine’s board of directors to implement and apply the Limit. | | FBC Not applicable. |
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, a corporation is permitted to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by them in connection with any pending, threatened or completed action or proceeding, unless it is proven that (i) the act or omission at issue of the director or officer was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the subject proceeding and was | | FBC Under its bylaws, FBC shall have the power to indemnify any director or officer of FBC or its subsidiaries against expenses and amounts reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any proceeding that is brought against him or her by reason of his or her performance or status as a director or officer of FBC or one of its subsidiaries, unless that director or officer was adjudged to be |
205
| | |
committed in bad faith, or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the individual actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services, (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful or (iv) in a derivative action, the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation. Under the MGCL, a corporation may also pay expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification from the corporation. Under the MGCL, the statutory provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses are non-exclusive with respect to any other rights, such as contractual rights or rights granted pursuant to a by-law or by vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled. Such rights may, for example, provide for indemnification against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by the indemnified person in connection with derivative actions. Under the MGCL, corporations are permitted to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability. If authorized by the board of directors, corporations may also create a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond for the purpose of securing their obligation to indemnify or advance expenses under the bylaws. The Sunshine articles of incorporation provide that Sunshine will indemnify any current or former director and officer and any employees and agents authorized by Sunshine’s board of directors, in each instance to the fullest extent permissible under MGCL. | | liable to FBC in respect of the claim, issue or matter for which the director or officer seeks indemnification. Before making that indemnity available to a director or officer, FBC’s board of directors are required to determine that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of FBC and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. FBC’s bylaws also provide that FBC may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by FBC. With respect to derivative actions, the FBCA only permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers up to an amount equal to the estimated expense of litigating the matter to conclusion. |
Director Liability
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, director liability is limited so long as the actions taken by the director were in good faith, in a manner the director reasonably believed to be in the best interest of Sunshine, with the care of an ordinary prudent person in similar circumstances. | | FBC Under the FBCA, a director is not liable for monetary damages for any statement, vote, decision or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy, unless the director breached or failed to perform such director’s duties as a director and the director’s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties |
206
| | |
The Sunshine articles of incorporation contain a provision limiting the personal liability of directors and officers, except (i) where it is proven that the individual officer or director actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, or (ii) where a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the individual officer or director is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the individual’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding, unless the MGCL is amended to further eliminate or limit the personal liability of officers and directors, in which case Sunshine will limit the personal liability of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL as amended. | | constitutes a violation of criminal law, self-dealing, an unlawful distribution, willful misconduct or recklessness. |
Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, in order to amend the articles of incorporation, the affirmative vote is required of a two-thirds majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, provided that the MGCL does not otherwise require stockholder approval for certain amendments impacting the aggregate number of shares of Sunshine. Under Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, Sunshine may amend, appeal, alter, or rescind any provision in the articles of incorporation except for certain provisions regarding the nomination and election of directors, stockholder notice and the submission of stockholder proposals, the composition of the Sunshine board of directors, removal of directors, indemnification and limitations on officer and director liability, and the process to amend bylaws. Any amendment to these provisions requires the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares of capital stock. All other amendments are required to be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast if the amendment is approved by Sunshine’s board of directors (otherwise it must be approved by 2/3 of the votes entitled to be cast). Under the MGCL, the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws is generally vested in stockholders, except to the extent that the articles of incorporation or bylaws vest it in the board of directors. Under Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, the bylaws may be repealed, altered, amended or rescinded (i) by the majority of the members of the board of directors or | | FBC The FBCA requires that, unless the articles of incorporation provide for a greater vote, the votes cast in favor of an amendment to the articles of incorporation must exceed the votes cast against the amendment. However, if the proposed amendment would trigger dissenters’ rights under the FBCA, the amendment must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast. The FBCA does not require shareholder approval for certain non-material amendments to the articles of incorporation. FBC’s bylaws provide that FBC board of directors has the power to repeal, alter or amend the bylaws. Under the FBCA, FBC’s shareholders may amend or repeal FBC’s bylaws if votes cast in favor of an amendment must exceed the votes cast against the amendment. |
207
| | |
(ii) by the stockholders of Sunshine only by vote of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. | | |
Vote Required for Extraordinary Corporation Transactions
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, approval of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or transfer of substantially all of a corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business requires (i) approval by the board of directors, (ii) submission by the board of directors to the stockholders, and (iii) the affirmative vote of a two- thirds majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders. However, under Sunshine’s articles of incorporation, as permitted under MGCL, in lieu of the two-thirds majority by stockholders, approval of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or transfer of substantially all of a corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders. The agreement of consolidation, merger, share exchange, or transfer of assets may require that the proposed transaction be submitted to the stockholders even if the board of directors has deemed the transaction to no longer be advisable or recommends that the stockholders reject the transaction. | | FBC Under the FBCA, approval of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business must receive approval from the board of directors and the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation require a higher vote. FBC’s articles of incorporation do not require a higher vote. The FBCA provides that shareholder approval of a plan of merger is not required if: • the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation will not differ, except for certain minor amendments specified in the FBCA, from its articles of incorporation before the merger; and • each shareholder of the surviving corporation whose shares were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger will hold, immediately after the merger, the same number of shares, with identical designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights. |
Interested Stockholder Transactions
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, unless otherwise exempted under the law, a corporation may not engage in, amongst other actions, any merger, consolidation, share exchange, or sale, lease, transfer, other disposition, other than in the ordinary course of business, or transfer of 5% or more of the total market value of the company’s stock, (“business combination”) with any stockholder (or their affiliate) that is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of the company after the date on which the company had 100 or more beneficial owners of the stock (“interested stockholder”) for a period of 5 years following the time in which the | | FBC The FBCA requires supermajority approval for certain transactions with affiliates. If any person who, together with such person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns 10% or more of any voting stock of the corporation (referred to herein as an interested person), is a party to any merger, consolidation, disposition of all or a substantial part of the assets of the corporation or a subsidiary of the corporation, or an exchange of securities requiring shareholder approval, or a business combination, such transaction requires approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares, other than the shares beneficially owned by the interested |
208
| | |
interested stockholder became an interested stockholder. A person is not an interested stockholder if the transaction that would have made the person an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sunshine’s bylaws, as permitted by MGCL, provide that the MGCL applicable to business combinations with interested stockholders does not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of Sunshine. Any business combination with an interested stockholder that is not exempt or otherwise prohibited under the law requires that the transaction is approved by 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the outstanding shares of the company and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock, other than those held by an interested stockholder. | | person. However, that approval is not required in certain situations, including the following: • a majority of the disinterested directors has approved the interested person transaction; • the corporation has not had more than 300 shareholders of record at any time during the three years preceding the date of the transaction’s announcement; • the interested person has been the beneficial owner of at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the date of the transaction’s announcement; • the interested person is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or • the consideration holders of the stock will receive meets certain minimum levels, as determined by a formula under Section 607.0901(4)(f) of the FBCA. |
Fiduciary Duty
| | |
SUNSHINE Under the MGCL, a director shall perform his or her duties as a director in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances. In performing a director’s duties, the director is entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by: • one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; • counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such person; or | | FBC Under the FBCA, a director is required to discharge his or her duties in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. In discharging his or her duties, a director is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if presented or prepared by: • officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; • legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters the director reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or • a committee of the board of which the director is not a member if the director |
209
| | |
• a committee of the board upon which the director does not serve, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence. Under the MGCL, the duties of a director do not require them to: • accept, recommend or respond on behalf of the company to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the company; • authorize the company to redeem any rights under, modify, or render inapplicable, a stockholders right plan; • elect or refrain from electing on behalf of the company to be subject to certain anti-takeover provisions provided for under the law; • make a determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act and Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act; and • act or fail to act solely because of (i) the effect the act or failure to act may have on an acquisition or potential acquisition of control of a company or (ii) the amount or type of any consideration that may be offered or paid to stockholders in an acquisition. | | reasonably believes the committee merits confidence. |
Provisions with Possible Anti-Takeover Effects
| | |
SUNSHINE Possible “anti-takeover” provisions under the MGCL and/or Sunshine’s articles of incorporation and bylaws include: • Classified Board Structure. Under Maryland law, directors may be classified into classes with each class serving for up to five years. As a result, at each annual meeting of the stockholders, only one-fifth of the board of directors may be up for election. • Removal of Directors only for Cause. Directors may only be removed “for cause.” • Voting Procedures for Director Removal. Shareholders may vote to remove a director but such removal requires a determination of “cause” and a majority vote. | | FBC FBC is subject to statutory “anti-takeover” provisions under the FBCA. The FBCA restricts the voting rights of shares of stock acquired by a party who, by such acquisition, would control at least 20% of all voting rights of the corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. The statute provides that the acquired shares, or the “control shares,” will, upon such acquisition, cease to have any voting rights. The acquiring party may petition the corporation to reassign voting rights to the control shares by way of an “acquiring person’s statement” submitted to the corporation in compliance with the requirements of the statute. Upon receipt of such request, the corporation must submit such request for shareholder approval. A corporation may reassign voting rights to the control shares by a resolution of a majority of the corporation’s shareholders of each class and series of stock, with the control shares not voting. |
210
| | |
• Number of Directors. Only the board of directors may fix the number of directors for the board of directors. • Vacancy on Board. If a vacancy on the board results from an increase in the size of the board, the death of a director, or the resignation or removal of a director, the vacancy can only be filled by the remaining directors and the new director serves the remainder of the full term of the vacated director’s class. • Limits on Special Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings called by stockholders may only be called at the request of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. • Explicit Approval of Stockholders’ Rights Plans (Poison Pill). The MGCL provides for explicit approval of certain stockholders rights programs or poison pills which are anti-takeover devices that can dilute the holdings of stockholders attempting an acquisition by distributing additional securities to the other stockholders. • Issuance of Preferred Stock. Sunshine’s articles of incorporation authorize the Sunshine board of directors, without further stockholder action, to issue from time to time, up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of Sunshine preferred stock. The Sunshine board of directors has the power to divide any and all of the shares of Sunshine preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established. • Ability of Board to Amend Articles of Incorporation to Increase Authorized Stock. Sunshine’s board of directors, without a vote of stockholders, may amend the articles of incorporation to increase or decrease the aggregate amount of shares of stock or number of shares of any class of stock. | | In addition, FBC’s articles of incorporation and bylaws contain various provisions that may serve as anti-takeover protections, which include: • the ability of FBC’s board of directors to fill vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors; and • provisions in FBC’s articles of incorporation which authorize FBC’s board of directors, without shareholder action, to issue from time to time, up to 1,000,000 shares of FBC preferred stock. The board of directors of FBC has the power to divide any and all of the shares of FBC preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established. |

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Sunshine Bancorp, Inc.
Plant City, Florida:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and their cash flows for years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUNSHINE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the Years Then Ended
(1) | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Organization. Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) was formed on March 7, 2014 to serve as the savings and loan holding company for Sunshine Bank, a federal savings bank (the “Bank”). Collectively, the Bank and the Holding Company are referred to as the “Company.” Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated as a Maryland corporation and owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sunshine Bank as a result of the conversion from mutual to stock form of Sunshine Bank on July 14, 2014. Also on July 14, 2014, Sunshine Bancorp completed its initial public offering of common stock. In the offering, Sunshine Bancorp sold a total of 4,232,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $42.3 million in gross offering proceeds. Sunshine Bancorp has not engaged in any business to date other than owning the common stock of Sunshine Bank. At December 31, 2015, the Company had total consolidated assets of $507.3 million, total deposits of $399.1 million and total stockholders’ equity of $71.4 million. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SBCP.”
The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.
In connection with the Conversion, the Holding Company implemented an ESOP, to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own the Company’s stock. This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of all Bank employees. A total of 338,560 shares of the stock issued in the conversion were acquired by the ESOP.
The Bank operations are conducted from the main banking office in Plant City, Florida and eleven additional full service banking offices located in Brandon, Riverview, Lakeland, Zephyrhills, Bartow, Plant City, Sarasota, Bradenton, Winter Haven, Tampa, and Orlando, Florida. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
As part of the Conversion, the Holding Company established a liquidation account in an amount equal to retained income of $26.6 million described in the final prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after the conversion.
Basis of Presentation.The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting practices of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. The following summarizes the more significant of these policies and practices.
Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred income taxes, and the estimated fair value of the tangible assets and identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and equity assumed.
Acquisition Method of Accounting.The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to estimate the fair value of the tangible assets and identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and equity assumed. The estimated fair values are based on available information and current economic conditions at the date of acquisition. Fair value

may be obtained from independent appraisers, discounted cash flow present value techniques, management valuation models, quoted prices on national markets or quoted market prices from brokers. These fair value estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities.
Accounting for business combination under GAAP acquisition method prohibits “carrying over” valuation allowances, such as the allowance for loan losses. Uncertainties relating to the expected future cash flows is reflected in the fair value measurement of the acquired loans and reflected in the purchase price. The Bank will establish loan loss allowances for the acquired loans in periods after the acquisition, but only for losses incurred on these loans due to credit deterioration after acquisition.
Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans.As a part of the business acquisition, the Company acquired loans, some of which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination. These purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans were determined to be credit impaired based on borrower payment history, past due status, loan credit grading, value of underlying collateral and other factors that affect the collectability of contractual cash flows. Under GAAP, purchasers are permitted to individually evaluate or collectively aggregate PCI loans into pools. PCI loans acquired in the same fiscal quarter may be assembled into one or more pools with common risk characteristics. Once pooled, a single composite interest rate is used to determine aggregate expected cash flows for the pool.
As a result of the Company’s recent acquisition, the Company individually evaluated three PCI loans. These acquired loans were recorded on the acquisition date at fair value. The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each individually analyzed loan. Estimated cash flows in excess of the amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.
On a quarterly basis, the Company will update the amount of loan principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected loan principal cash flows trigger the recognition of impairment, which is then measured as the present value of the expected principal loss plus any related foregone interest cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Impairments that occur after the acquisition date are recognized through the allowance for loan losses. Probable and significant increases in expected cash flows would first reverse any previously recorded allowance for loan losses; any remaining increases are recognized prospectively as interest income. The impacts of (i) prepayments, (ii) changes in variable interest rates, and (iii) any other changes in the timing of expected cash flows are recognized prospectively as adjustments to interest income. Disposals of loans, which may include sales of loans, receipt of payments in full by the borrower, or foreclosure, result in removal of the loan from the PCI portfolio.
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible.Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition. GAAP requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to income. Core deposit intangibles (“CDI”) are initially measured at fair value and then amortized over ten years on an accelerated basis using projected decay rates of the underlying core deposits. The principal factors considered when valuing the CDI consist of the following: (1) the rate and maturity structure of the interest bearing liabilities, (2) estimated retention rates for each deposit liability category, (3) the current interest rate environment and (4) estimated noninterest income potential of the acquired relationship. The CDI is evaluated periodically for impairment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks and federal funds sold, all of which have original maturities of ninety days or less.
The Bank is required under Federal Reserve Board regulations to maintain cash reserves, generally consisting of deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank, of cash or noninterest-earning accounts with qualifying banks, against its transaction accounts. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank’s cash reserve requirements were $6,348,000 and $1,883,000, respectively.
Securities.Securities may be classified as either trading, held to maturity or available for sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from operations and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities available for sale are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
Loans Held for Sale.Loans held for sale includes loans originated which are intended for sale in the secondary market and substandard loans transferred to loans held for sale and are carried at the lower of book value or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to operations. At December 31, 2014, the book value of loans held for sale exceeded fair value in the aggregate and were charged down to the fair value.
Loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity orpay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for anycharge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.
Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized. The net amount are deferred and are recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.
The accrual of interest on all portfolio classes, including troubled debt restructurings, is discontinued at the time the loan is more than ninety days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. Nonaccrual loans are reviewed for charge-off if more than ninety-days past due, except for residential loans and consumer loans. Residential loans are reviewed at 180 days and consumer loans are reviewed at 120 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered unlikely.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. In addition, a loan should be in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, usually requiring a payment history of six months.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the
(continued)

SUNSHINE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

allowance when management believes the collectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. There were no changes in the Bank’s accounting policies or methodology related to the allowance for loan losses during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
The historical loss component of the allowance is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment over the preceding eight quarters. This is supplemented by the risks for each portfolio segment. Risk factors impacting loans in each of the portfolio segments include broad deterioration of property values, reduced consumer and business spending as a result of unemployment and reduced credit availability and lack of confidence in the economy. The historical experience is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: (a) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; (b) changes in national, regional and local economic conditions that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio; (c) changes in levels or trends in charge-offs and recoveries; (d) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, nonaccrual loans or loans classified special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss; (e) changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and terms of loans; (f) changes in lending policies and procedures, risk selection and underwriting standards; (g) changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; (h) quality of loan review; (i) the effect of other external factors, trends or uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses, such as competition and industry conditions.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and residential mortgage loan segments by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment disclosures.

Income Taxes. There are two components of income taxes: current and deferred. Current income taxes reflect taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income taxes result from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination including resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. As of December 31, 2015, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income taxes.
Premises and Equipment. Land is stated at cost. Buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using thestraight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimate useful lives for building and improvements is forty years; for furniture and equipment from three to ten years; leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term.
Other Real Estate Owned.Other real estate owned includes assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure and are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated selling costs. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in operations.
Fair Value Measurements.Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP has established a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for

identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.
The following describes valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
Impaired Loans. Estimates of fair value for impaired loans is based on the estimated value of the underlying collateral which is determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned. Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s senior lending officers related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. These officers take into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values estimates for other real estate owned are classified as Level 3.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed. The estimated fair values of the investment securities classified as available for sale were calculated utilizing Level 2 inputs. The prices for these instruments are based upon sales of the securities shortly after the acquisition date. The Company reviewed the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from market observable data.
Level 3 inputs were utilized to value the acquired loan portfolio and included the use of present value techniques employing cash flow estimates and the incorporated assumptions that marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. In instances where reliable market information was not available, the Company used its own assumptions in an effort to determine reasonable fair value adjustments required under GAAP.
Core deposit premium represents the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market and savings accounts assumed as part of an acquisition. The core deposit premium value represents the future economic benefit and was valued utilizing Level 3 inputs.
Certificates of deposit (time deposits) are not considered to be core deposits as they are assumed to have a low expected average life upon acquisition. The fair value of certificates of deposits represents the present value of the certificates’ expected contractual payments discounted by market rates for similar CDs and is valued utilizing Level 3 inputs.
The estimated fair values of the borrowings were calculated utilizing Level 3 inputs. The prices for these instruments are based upon the termination costs of the borrowings shortly after the acquisition date.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments. In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered intooff-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of unused lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate their fair value.
Time Deposits with Banks.The fair value of time deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.
Securities. Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices for identical or similar securities.
Loans. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate mortgages (e.g. one-to four-family residential), commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The stock is not publicly traded and the estimated fair value is its redemption value.
Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposit. The fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, money-market and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offering on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
FHLB Advances. The fair values for FHLB advances is estimated using current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and remaining time to maturity.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
Comprehensive Loss. GAAP generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operations. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items along with net loss, are components of comprehensive loss.
Share-Based Compensation. The Company has an equity-based compensation plan that provide for the granting of stock options (incentive and nonqualified) and restricted stock to selected employees and directors. The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. The fair value of such equity instruments is recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements over the service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Model to
(continued)

estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Company grants stock options to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock is equivalent to the fair value on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period.
Earnings (Loss) per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares relate to outstanding stock options determined using the treasury stock method.
Recent Accounting Standards Update.
During February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related toLeases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities related to certain operating leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures by lessees and contains targeted changes to accounting by lessors. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
During January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related toFinancial Instruments. The new guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, excluding equity investments that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
During September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related toBusiness Combinations. The new guidance requires acquirers to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts (that are identified during the measurement period) in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The new guidance also requires such amounts to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
During April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related toDebt Issuance Costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications.Certain amounts in the 2014 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation.
Agreement to Acquire Certain Assets and Liabilities of First Federal Bank of Florida.On November 13, 2015, pursuant to a purchase and assumption agreement signed July 16, 2015, the Bank assumed the deposits and certain loans from two branch offices of First Federal Bank of Florida in Manatee county. The

branch offices are located in Bradenton and Sarasota, Florida. The purchase and assumption added $47.0 million in deposits and $7.9 million in loans. Sunshine Bank also purchased the real estate and some selected fixed assets associated with the branches. The Company acquired these assets and liabilities to expand its market presence to Sarasota and Manatee Counties, Florida and to capitalize on the demographically attractive I-75 corridor between Tampa and Sarasota, Fl. The Company incurred approximately $171,000 in merger and acquisition related expenses.
Agreement to Acquire Community Southern Holdings, Inc.On June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Community Southern Holdings, Inc. for cash of $30.3 million, through an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”). Community Southern Holdings, Inc. was merged into the Company and Community Southern Bank was merged into the Bank. The Company acquired $250.4 million in assets and assumed $214.4 million in liabilities and stockholders’ equity and exchanged $5.7 million in preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury as part of its Small Business Lending Fund. The exchanged shares were subsequently redeemed on September 30, 2015 at their par value of $5.7 million. The Company acquired these assets and liabilities to expand its market presence to Polk and Orange Counties, Florida and to strengthen its position along the demographically attractive I-4 corridor. The Company incurred approximately $1.3 million in merger and acquisition related expenses.
The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stockholders’ equity exchanged on the date of acquisition and for the year ended December 31, 2015 in total.

Securities have been classified according to management intent. On March 19, 2015 management transferred all securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale at an estimated fair market value of $69.7 million. The transfer was performed to enhance the interest rate risk position of the Bank and provide liquidity for future loan growth. As a result of the transfer, the Bank is precluded from classifying securities as held to maturity until March 2017. The amortized cost and fair values of securities are as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2015 there were twenty-four securities in a loss position. In considering the credit quality of the issuers, the nature and cause of the unrealized loss, the severity and length of time in an unrealized loss position, and other factors, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Management determined that the decline in fair value is attributable to

fluctuations in interest rates and other market conditions and not a deterioration of the credit quality of the issuers.

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:
Real Estate Loans.Real estate loans are typically segmented into four classes: one-to four-family residential, commercial and multi-family, construction and land, and home equity.
One-to four-family residential real estate loans are underwritten based on the borrower’s repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability.
Commercial real estate and multifamily loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based on loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. These loans are generally considered to have more credit risk than traditional one-to four-family residential loans because these loans tend to involve larger loan balances and their repayment is typically dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying real estate.
Construction and Land loans are to finance the construction of owner-occupied and lease properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or one-to four-family residential loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and

guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction or development completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction and land loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sale information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.
Home Equity Loans.Home equity loans consists of either revolving line of credit, term, or second mortgage loans secured by one-to-four residential real estate. These loans have similar risk characteristics to one-to-four family loans and are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s principal residence or their second/vacation home (excluding investment/rental property). There are minimum credit score standards, maximum debt to income ratios and credit requirements on each Home equity product. Home equity lines of credit are variable rate based on an index of Wall Street Journal prime rate with a margin.
Commercial Loans.Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to service such debt from income. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a security interest in any equipment, or other chattel, although loans may also be made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets.
Consumer Loans.Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. The Company also offers lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.
The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Loans classified as substandard or special mention are reviewed quarterly by the Company for further deterioration or improvement to determine if they are appropriately classified and whether there is any impairment. All loans are graded upon initial issuance. Further, commercial, multi-family and commercial real estate loans are generally reviewed periodically to determine the appropriate loan grading. In addition, during the renewal process of any loan, as well as if a loan becomes past due, the Company will determine the appropriate loan grade.
Loans excluded from the review process above are generally classified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of a deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the borrower contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification as to special mention, substandard or even charged-off. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass – A Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.
Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
(continued)
F-24
SUNSHINE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The allowance for loan losses on all loans that have been restructured and are considered TDRs is included in the Company’s specific allowance for loan losses. The specific allowance for loan losses is determined on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. TDR’s that have subsequently defaulted are considered collateral-dependent.
There were no TDRs entered during the years ended December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2015 that subsequently defaulted.
The Company grants real estate, commercial and consumer loans to customers primarily in the State of Florida with the majority of such loans in Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, Orange, and Pasco Counties, Florida. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk could be significantly affected by changes in the economy and real estate market in these market areas.

(13) | Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments |
The Company is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are unused lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit andinterest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does foron-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the

commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on acase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Generally letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company may hold collateral supporting these commitments, and at December 31, 2015 such collateral amounted to approximately $188,000.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk at December 31, 2015 follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Contract | |
| | Amount | |

The Company performs periodic evaluations on the deferred tax asset to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary. The analysis weighs positive evidence against negative evidence to determine if it is more likely than not to recognize the future benefit of the deferred tax asset. The Company’s analysis includes internal forecasts that demonstrate the Company’s ability to fully utilize the deferred tax asset prior to the expiration of the related net operating loss periods discussed above. The Company was profitable during 2013. The Company’s internal forecasts include growth assumptions relating to loans, noninterest income and noninterest expense, as well as estimating loan losses and other nonrecurring items. Management determined that a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset was not necessary at December 31, 2015 or 2014.

The Company provides supplemental executive retirement plans for certain of its officers. The terms of the plan agreements provide for a specific percentage of the participants compensation to be accrued for deferred compensation. The Company is accruing interest on these amounts at a rate of 6%. The benefits vest at various times and will be paid upon retirement, death or disability. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company expense in connection with the plans was approximately $381,000 and $172,000, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2013, the balance in the accrued deferred compensation accounts was $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and it was included with other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
(20) | Stock-Based Compensation |
On August 26, 2015, stockholders approved the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock-based awards to officers, employees and directors of the Company. The Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 592,480 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to grants of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Of this number, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 423,200 shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 169,280 shares. During the year, 372,760 stock options were granted, leaving 50,440 available for future grants. Additionally, 162,248 shares of restricted stock were granted leaving 7,032 shares available for future grants. Generally the grants vest over a five year period with the first 20% of each grant vesting immediately. The Company will recognize the remaining unearned compensation over the remaining vesting period of four years. The fair value of options is measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s assumptions included the one year Treasury-bill rate to establish a risk free interest rate of 0.32%, expected volatility of 16.7%, and an expected life of seven years. At December 31, 2015 no restricted stock units have been granted.
The following table summarizes the outstanding stock options and restricted stock under the 2015 Equity Plan at December 31, 2015:

(21) | Dividend Restrictions |
The Holding Company is limited in the amount of cash dividends it may declare and pay by the amount of dividends it can receive from the Bank. The Bank is limited in the amount of cash dividends that may be paid based on current regulations governing national associations. In addition, bank regulators have the authority to prohibit banks from paying dividends if they deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank became subject to new capital requirements set forth by federal banking regulations. These changes were designed to ensure capital positions remain strong during the events of economic downturns or unforeseen losses. The Company is exempt from consolidated capital requirements as the Federal Reserve Board amended its “small bank holding company” policy statement to generally exempt savings and loan holding companies with less than $1.0 billion in assets from capital requirements.
These new requirements create a new capital ratio for common equity Tier 1 capital and increase the Tier 1 capital ratio requirements. Under the new capital regulation for the Bank, the minimum capital ratios consist of a common equity tier 1 ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk weighted assets, and a leverage ratio of 4.0%. Common equity tier 1 generally comprises of common stock, additional paid in capital, and retained income.
There were changes in the risk weighting of certain assets to better reflect the risk associated with those assets, such as the risk weighting for nonperforming loans and certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisitions, development and construction loans. The changes also include additional limitations on the inclusion of deferred tax asset in capital. The Bank made a one-time election to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital in order to reduce the impact of market volatility on regulatory capital.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Organization. Sunshine Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Holding Company”), was formed on March 7, 2014 to serve as the savings and loan holding company for Sunshine Bank, a federal savings bank (the “Bank”). The Holding Company was formed as part of the Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion (the “Conversion”). Collectively, the Bank and Holding Company are referred to as the “Company.” On July 14, 2014, the Conversion was completed and the Holding Company became the parent holding company for the Bank.
Sunshine Bank is a federal stock savings bank. It was first organized in 1954 as a federal mutual savings and loan association under the name First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Plant City. In 1975, the Bank changed its name to Sunshine State Federal Savings and Loan Association. In 2014, the Bank changed its name to Sunshine Bank. The Bank through its twelve full service banking offices provides a variety of retail community banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, Sarasota, Pasco, and Orange Counties, Florida.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry and are described in note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by information in this Form 10-Q. These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2016, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. Such different value estimates could affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of goodwill and other intangibles, deferred income taxes, and purchase accounting related adjustments.
Principles of Consolidation.The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited except for information derived from our audited 2015 financial statements.
Share-based Compensation.The Company expenses the fair value of any stock options or restricted stock granted. The Company recognizes share-based compensation in operations as the awards vest.
Comprehensive Income (Loss).GAAP generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operations. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).

Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements.In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related toCredit Losses. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. Purchased credit impaired loans will receive an allowance account at the acquisition date that represents a component of the purchase price allocation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will assess this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
During March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related toStock Compensation. The new guidance allows entities to make a one-time policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, instead of accruing compensation cost based on the number of awards expected to vest. Additionally, the new guidance changes the requirement for an award to qualify for equity classification. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
During February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related toLeases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities related to certain operating leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures by lessees and contains targeted changes to accounting by lessors. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications.Certain amounts reported in the prior periods, consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.
Acquisition of Certain Assets and Liabilities of First Federal Bank of Florida.On November 13, 2015, the Bank, pursuant to a purchase and assumption agreement, assumed the deposits and certain loans from two branch offices of First Federal Bank of Florida. The branch offices are located in Bradenton and Sarasota, Florida. The purchase and assumption added $47.0 million in deposits and $7.9 million in loans. Sunshine Bank also purchased the real estate and selected fixed assets associated with the branches. The Company acquired these assets and liabilities to expand its market presence to Sarasota and Manatee Counties, Florida and to capitalize on the demographically attractive I-75 corridor between Tampa and Sarasota, Fl. The Company incurred approximately $171,000 in acquisition related expenses.
Acquisition of Community Southern Holdings, Inc.On June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Community Southern Holdings, Inc. for cash of $30.3 million, through an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”). Community Southern Holdings, Inc. was merged into the Company and Community Southern Bank was merged into the Bank. The Company acquired $250.4 million in assets and assumed $214.4 million in liabilities and stockholders’ equity and exchanged $5.7 million in preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury as part of its Small Business Lending Fund. The exchanged shares were subsequently redeemed on September 30, 2015 at their par value of $5.7 million. The Company acquired these assets and liabilities to expand its market presence to Polk and Orange Counties, Florida and to

strengthen its position along the demographically attractive I-4 corridor. The Company incurred approximately $1.3 million in merger and acquisition related expenses. Management used market quotations to measure the fair value of investment securities and FHLB advances.
Community Southern Bank’s loans were measured at fair value by discounting both expected principal and interest cash flows using an observable discount rate for similar instruments that a market participant would consider in determining fair value. Additionally, consideration was given to management’s best estimates of default rates and payment speeds. At acquisition, Community Southern Bank’s loan portfolio totaled $170.0 million and was recorded at a fair value of $171.5 million. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stockholders’ equity exchanged on the date of acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2015(in thousands):

Acquisition of Florida Bank of Commerce.On May 9, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FBC Bancorp, Inc., a Florida corporation (“FBC”), and Florida Bank of Commerce, a Florida state bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of FBC (“FBC Bank”), pursuant to which FBC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity, and FBC Bank will merge with and into Sunshine Bank, with Sunshine Bank surviving as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “FBC Merger”). The transaction will add approximately $315 million in assets, $232 million in loans and $279 million in deposits to Sunshine Bank. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of FBC will be converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares of common stock of the Company subject to adjustment if the Company’s stock price (measured four days

prior to the closing of the Merger) is more than 20% lower than the Company’s stock price on the trading day before the entry into the Merger Agreement is publicly announced and such decrease in the Company’s stock price is more than 20% relative to the change in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index on the corresponding dates. As a result of the Merger, FBC’s shareholders would own approximately 34.6% of the Company’s common stock. Upon completion of the Merger, Dana Kilborne, FBC Bank’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will serve as an Executive Vice President of the Company and Co-President and Chief Banking Officer of Sunshine Bank. In addition, upon completion of the Merger, five FBC current board members will be appointed to the Company and Sunshine Bank board of directors, increasing the total number of directors of the Company to fifteen members. The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. It is expected that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Securities have been classified according to management intent. On March 19, 2015 the Bank transferred all securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale at a fair market value of $69.7 million. The transfer was performed to enhance the interest rate risk position of the Bank and provide liquidity for future loan growth. As a result of the transfer, the Bank is precluded from classifying securities as held to maturity until March 2017. The amortized cost and fair values of securities are as follows(in thousands):

At June 30, 2016 there were seven securities in a loss position. In considering the credit quality of the issuers, the nature and cause of the unrealized loss, the severity and length of time in an unrealized loss position, and other factors, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Management determined that the decline in fair value is attributable to fluctuations in interest rates and other market conditions and not a deterioration of the credit quality of the issuers. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
The Company pledged securities with a fair market value of approximately $16.1 million at June 30, 2016 and $22.1 million at December 31, 2015 to secure public funds and other borrowings.

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:
Real Estate Loans.Real estate loans are typically segmented into four classes: one-to-four-family residential, commercial and multi-family, construction and land, and home equity.
One-to-four-family residential real estate loans are underwritten based on the borrower’s repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability.
Commercial and multifamily real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based on loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. These loans are generally considered to have more credit risk than traditional one-to-four-family residential loans because these loans tend to involve larger loan balances and their repayment is typically dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying real estate.
Construction and Land loans are to finance the construction of owner-occupied and lease properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or one-to- four-family residential loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction or development completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction and land loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of

proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sale information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.
Home equity loans consists of either revolving line of credit, term, or second mortgage loans secured by one-to-four residential real estate. These loans have similar risk characteristics to one-to-four family loans and are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s principal residence or their second/vacation home (excluding investment/rental property). There are minimum credit score standards, maximum debt to income ratios and credit requirements on each Home equity product. Home equity lines of credit are variable rate based on an index of Wall Street Journal prime rate with a margin.
Commercial Loans.Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to service such debt from income. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a security interest in any equipment, or other chattel, although loans may also be made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets.
Consumer Loans.Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. The Company also offers lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.
The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Loans classified as substandard or special mention are reviewed quarterly by the Company for further deterioration or improvement to determine if they are appropriately classified and whether there is any impairment. All loans are graded upon initial issuance. Further, commercial, multi-family and commercial real estate loans are generally reviewed periodically to determine the appropriate loan grading. In addition, during the renewal process of any loan, as well as if a loan becomes past due, the Company will determine the appropriate loan grade.
Loans excluded from the review process above are generally classified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of a deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the borrower contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification as to special mention, substandard or even charged-off. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass – A Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.
Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
(continued)
F-55
SUNSHINE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Of this number, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 423,200 shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 169,280 shares. The fair value of options is measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of stock options granted which included the one year Treasury-bill rate to establish a risk free interest rate of 0.32%, expected volatility of 16.7%, and an expected life of seven years.
There were no outstanding stock options or restricted stock grants as of June 30, 2015.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank became subject to new capital requirements set forth by federal banking regulations. These changes were designed to ensure capital positions remain strong during the events of economic downturns or unforeseen losses. The Company is exempt from consolidated capital requirements as the Federal Reserve Board amended its “small bank holding company” policy statement to generally exempt savings and loan holding companies with less than $1.0 billion in assets from capital requirements.
These new requirements create a new capital ratio for common equity Tier 1 capital and increase the Tier 1 capital ratio requirements. Under the new capital regulation for the Bank, the minimum capital ratios consist of a common equity tier 1 ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk weighted assets, and a leverage ratio of 4.0%. Common equity tier 1 generally comprises of common stock, additional paid in capital, and retained income.
There were changes in the risk weighting of certain assets to better reflect the risk associated with those assets, such as the risk weighting for nonperforming loans and certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisitions, development and construction loans. The changes also include additional limitations on the inclusion of deferred tax asset in capital. The Bank made a one-time election to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital in order to reduce the impact of market volatility on regulatory capital. In order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2016, the Bank’s capital conservation buffer was 7.44% exceeding the minimum of 0.625% for 2016.

Independent Auditors’ Report
Board of Directors and Stockholders
FBC Bancorp, Inc.
Orlando, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of FBC Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Organization. FBC Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a bank holding company which owns 100% of the outstanding common shares of Florida Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”). The Bank is state-chartered, full-service commercial banking institution headquartered in Orlando, Florida with six full-service banking offices in the Central Florida area. The Bank’s deposits are insured, up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Collectively, the Holding Company and the Bank are referred to as the “Company.”
The following is a description of the significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company, which conform to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the banking industry.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Holding Company and its subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through June 10, 2016 (the financial statement issuance date), determining no events require additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and deferred tax assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash due from banks, and interest-bearing demand deposits in other banks, all of which mature within ninety days.
Banks are required to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash, in an account with the Federal Reserve Bank or in a noninterest-earning account with other qualified banks based on the balances of their transaction deposit accounts. The Bank had reserve requirements of $4,912,000 and $2,953,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Comprehensive Income. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive (loss) income.
Securities. Securities may be classified as either trading, held to maturity or available for sale. Securities that are held principally for resale in the near term are considered trading securities and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in operations. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor asheld-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains and losses on the sale of

available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using thespecific-identification method. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans Held for Sale. The Company originates loans for sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Earnings from these loan originations sold are included in gain on sale of loans.
Loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity orpay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for anycharge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs.
Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized. Both are recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety-days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. There were no changes in the Company’s accounting policies or methodology during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are considered impaired. For such loans that are considered impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
The historical loss component of the allowance is determined by historical losses recognized by portfolio segment over the preceding three years, with the most recent years carrying more weight. This is

supplemented by the risks for each portfolio segment. Risk factors impacting loans in each of the portfolio segments include reduced consumer and business spending as a result of unemployment, reduced credit availability and lack of confidence in the economy. The historical loss experience is adjusted for the following qualitative factors, changes in: portfolio growth trends, delinquency trends, administration issues, loan to value adjustment on commercial real estate loans, and economic conditions.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Foreclosed Real Estate. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and subsequent write-downs on foreclosed real estate are included in the statements of earnings.
Premises and Equipment. Land and land improvements are stated at cost. Buildings, furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset, or the lease term if shorter.
Income Taxes. There are two components of income taxes: current and deferred. Current income taxes reflect taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income taxes result from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination including resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. As of December 31, 2015, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company files consolidated income tax returns. Income taxes are allocated to the Holding Company and the Bank as if separate income tax returns were filed. Interest and penalties on income taxes are recognized as a component of income taxes.
Stock Compensation Plans. The Company expenses the fair value of stock options granted. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in salaries and employee benefits for officers and employees in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods.
Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.
The following describes the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
Securities Available for Sale. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, certain mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain mortgage-backed securities.
Impaired Loans. The Company’s impaired loans are normally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the lower of the Company’s net recorded investment in the loan or the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. These officers take into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans is classified as Level 3.
Foreclosed Real Estate. Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers

and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values estimates for foreclosed real estate are classified as Level 3.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Interest-Bearing Time Deposits with Bank. The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Securities. Fair values for securities are based on the framework for measuring fair value.
Loans. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate mortgage (e.g. one-to-four family residential), commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock.The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is its redemption value.
Deposits. The fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, money-market and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
Other Borrowings.The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
Transfer of Financial Assets. Transfers of financial assets or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. A participating interest is a portion of an entire financial asset that (1) conveys proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder (2) involves no recourse (other than standard representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder, and (3) does not entitle any participating interest holder to receive cash before any other participating interest holder. Recourse in the form of an independent third-party guarantee shall be excluded from the evaluation of whether the participating interest definition is met.
Advertising. The Company expenses all media advertising as incurred.

Recent Pronouncements. In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01,Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10):
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The ASU requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in net earnings, simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment and eliminates the requirement to disclose fair values, the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. These amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2,Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its consolidated balance sheets and statements of earnings. Early application will be permitted for all organizations.

These unrealized losses at December 31, 2015 on four securities are considered by management to be attributable to changes in market interest rates, and not attributable to credit risk on the part of the issuer. Accordingly, if market rates were to decline, much or all of the decline in market value would likely be recovered through market appreciation. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines in the fair value below amortized cost are deemed to be other than temporary.
At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank has pledged securities with a carrying amount of $5,007,000 and $3,224,000, respectively, as collateral for public deposits and repurchase agreements.

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Board. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:
Real Estate Mortgage.The real estate mortgage loans segment is divided into three classes: Commercial real estate, Residential real estate and Construction and land development.
Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of loans to finance real estate purchases, refinancings, expansions and improvements to commercial properties. These loans are secured by first liens on office buildings, apartments, retail and mixed-use properties, churches, warehouses and restaurants located within the Company’s market area. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes credit verification, independent appraisals, a review of the borrower’s financial condition, and a detailed analysis of the borrower’s underlying cash flows. Commercial real estate loans are typically larger than residential loans and involve greater credit risk. These loan types also are considered a higher degree of credit risks due to the underlying management assumptions that need to be considered when dealing with these types of real estate investments. The repayment of these loans largely depends on the results of operations and management of these properties. Adverse economic conditions also affect the repayment ability to a greater extent than residential real estate loans.
Residential Real Estate.Residential real estate loans consists of mostly adjustable-rate mortgage loans for the purchase or refinance of residential properties. These loans are collateralized by first or second mortgages on owner-occupied, second homes or investment residential properties located in the Company’s market area. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes reviewing the borrower’s repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. The risks inherent with these types of loans are economic conditions affecting the borrower’s future employment affecting his ability to continue servicing debt repayments as well as declining collateral values.
Construction and Land Development.Construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the collateral property. Construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, theCompany considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information. Additionally, these loans have a higher degree of risk associated with overall budget and project costs, evaluating and monitoring construction progress and overall market saturations which may affect values negatively during an economic downturn. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land development loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof. Additionally, these loans have a higher degree of risk associated with overall budget and project costs, evaluating and

monitoring development progress, and overall market saturations which may affect values negatively. These loans are also affected by adverse economic conditions should they prevail within the Company’s local market.
Commercial.Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to service such debt from income. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, or other chattel, although loans are also made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets. These loans are also affected by adverse economic conditions should they prevail within the Company’s local market.
Consumer and Other.Consumer and other loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. The Company also offers home improvement loans, lines of credit including home equity lines of credit, personal loans and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed- and variable-interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years. The risk inherent with this type of lending is economic conditions affecting the borrower’s future employment or their spouse’s loss of job affecting their ability to continue servicing debt repayments. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance and nonhomogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass – A Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.
Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

FBC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

(11) | Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments |
The Bank is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does foron-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed-expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on acase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and to support private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.

The amount of cash dividends that may be paid is based on the Bank’s net earnings of the current year combined with the Bank’s retained earnings of the preceding two years, as defined by state banking regulations. However, for any dividend declaration, the Bank must consider additional factors such as the amount of current period net earnings, liquidity, asset quality, capital adequacy and economic conditions. It is likely that these factors would further limit the amount of dividend which the Bank could declare. In addition, bank regulators have the authority to prohibit banks from paying dividends if they deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

The Company had two stock option plans (the “2005 plans”) for directors and employees. The 2005 plans were terminated in 2014. At December 31, 2015, 32,738 options remain outstanding. No options are available for grant from the 2005 plans.
In 2014, the Company established two new stock option plans (the “2014 plans”) for directors and employees. Under the two plans, the number of options which may be granted to purchase common stock is 275,000 for employees and 110,900 for directors. At December 31, 2015, 9,916 options remain available for grant to directors and 131,172 options remain available for grant to employees. Both the directors’ and employee options vest over five years and have a life of ten years.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

| | | | | | | | |
The Company used the guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to determine the estimated life of options issued. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of similar peer bank’s

common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of divided payments.
A summary of the activity in the Company’s stock option plans is as follows:

| | Number of Options | | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term | |

At December 31, 2015, there was $171,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested options granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized in expense ratably as the options vest over the remaining weighted-average vesting period. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was $50,000 and $32,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company acquired 100% of Prime Bank of Florida in 2008. The initial purchase price resulted in a premium of approximately $2.4 million, consisting mainly of goodwill, the goodwill is carried at its cost. The Company reviews its goodwill for possible impairment at least annually, or sooner in the event circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment of goodwill was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for

prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certainoff-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank, became subject to the new Basel III capital level threshold requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations with full compliance with all of the final rule’s requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule. These new regulations were designed to ensure that banks maintain strong capital positions even in the event of severe economic downturns or unforeseen losses.
Changes that could affect the Bank going forward include additional constraints on the inclusion of deferred tax assets in capital and increased risk weightings for nonperforming loans and acquisition/development loans in regulatory capital. Under the new regulations in the first quarter of 2015, the Bank elected an irreversible one-time opt-out to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital.
As of December 31, 2015, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately capitalized the Bank must maintain a minimum Common equity tier 1 capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio, Total capital ratio and Tier 1 leverage ratio as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Management believes, as of December 31, 2015, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are presented in the table (dollars in thousands):

(1) | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
Organization. FBC Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a bank holding company which owns 100% of the outstanding common shares of Florida Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”). The Bank is state-chartered, full-service commercial banking institution headquartered in Orlando, Florida with six full-service banking offices in the Central Florida area. The Bank’s deposits are insured, up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Collectively, the Holding Company and the Bank are referred to as the “Company.”
The following is a description of the significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company, which conform to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the banking industry.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Holding Company and its subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2016, and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Comprehensive Income. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income.
Stock Compensation Plans. The Company expenses the fair value of stock options granted. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in salaries and employee benefits for officers and employees in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods.
The carrying amount of securities and their fair values are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Board. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:
Real Estate Mortgage.The real estate mortgage loans segment is divided into three classes: Commercial real estate, Residential real estate and Construction and land development.
Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of loans to finance real estate purchases, refinancings, expansions and improvements to commercial properties. These loans are secured by first liens

on office buildings, apartments, retail and mixed-use properties, churches, warehouses and restaurants located within the Company’s market area. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes credit verification, independent appraisals, a review of the borrower’s financial condition, and a detailed analysis of the borrower’s underlying cash flows. Commercial real estate loans are typically larger than residential loans and involve greater credit risk. These loan types also are considered a higher degree of credit risks due to the underlying management assumptions that need to be considered when dealing with these types of real estate investments. The repayment of these loans largely depends on the results of operations and management of these properties. Adverse economic conditions also affect the repayment ability to a greater extent than residential real estate loans.
Residential Real Estate.Residential real estate loans consists of mostly adjustable-rate mortgage loans for the purchase or refinance of residential properties. These loans are collateralized by first or second mortgages on owner-occupied, second homes or investment residential properties located in the Company’s market area. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes reviewing the borrower’s repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. The risks inherent with these types of loans are economic conditions affecting the borrower’s future employment affecting his ability to continue servicing debt repayments as well as declining collateral values.
Construction and Land Development.Construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the collateral property. Construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, theCompany considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information. Additionally, these loans have a higher degree of risk associated with overall budget and project costs, evaluating and monitoring construction progress and overall market saturations which may affect values negatively during an economic downturn. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land development loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof. Additionally, these loans have a higher degree of risk associated with overall budget and project costs, evaluating and monitoring development progress, and overall market saturations which may affect values negatively. These loans are also affected by adverse economic conditions should they prevail within the Company’s local market.
Commercial.Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to service such debt from income. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, or other chattel, although loans are also made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets. These loans are also affected by adverse economic conditions should they prevail within the Company’s local market.

Consumer and Other.Consumer and other loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. The Company also offers home improvement loans, lines of credit including home equity lines of credit, personal loans and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed- and variable-interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years. The risk inherent with this type of lending is economic conditions affecting the borrower’s future employment or their spouse’s loss of job affecting their ability to continue servicing debt repayments. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance and nonhomogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass – A Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Continued
Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

(6) | Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments |
The Bank is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does foron-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed-expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on acase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

(6) | Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Continued |
Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and to support private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.
A summary of the amounts of the Bank’s financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at June 30, 2016 follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Contract Amount | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 35,728 | |
| | | | |
Unused lines of credit | | $ | 4,415 | |
| | | | |
Standby letters of credit | | $ | 2,231 | |

(7) | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company had two stock option plans (the “2005 plans”) for directors and employees. The 2005 plans were terminated in 2014. At June 30, 2016, 28,738 options remain outstanding. No options are available for grant from the 2005 plans.
In 2014, the Company established two new stock option plans (the “2014 plans”) for directors and employees. Under the two plans, the number of options which may be granted to purchase common stock is 275,000 for employees and 110,900 for directors. At June 30, 2016, 9,916 options remain available for grant to directors and 122,672 options remain available for grant to employees. Both the directors’ and employee options vest over four years and have a life of ten years.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | | | 2015 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 2.065 | % | | | 1.35 | % | | | 1.35 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Expected stock volatility | | | 10.00 | % | | | 10.00 | % | | | 10.00 | % |
Expected life in years | | | 6.25 | | | | 6.25 | | | | 6.25 | |
Per share grant-date fair value of options issued during the year | | $ | 1.75 | | | | 1.05 | | | | 1.05 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Company used the guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to determine the estimated life of options issued. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of similar peer bank’s common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of divided payments.

At June 30, 2016, there was $160,527 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested options granted under the plans. That expense is expected to be recognized in expense ratably as the options vest over the remaining weighted-average vesting period. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was $37,000 and $25,350 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was $11,490 and $13,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

There was no foreclosed real estate at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certainoff-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Bank, became subject to the new Basel III capital level threshold requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations with full compliance with all of the final rule’s requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule. These new regulations were designed to ensure that banks maintain strong capital positions even in the event of severe economic downturns or unforeseen losses.
Changes that could affect the Bank going forward include additional constraints on the inclusion of deferred tax assets in capital and increased risk weightings for nonperforming loans and acquisition/development loans in regulatory capital. Under the new regulations in the first quarter of 2015, the Bank elected an irreversible one-time opt-out to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital.

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
Section 2.01.Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company Bank, Company or any shareholder of Company:
(a) Each share of Buyer Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.
(b) Each share of Company Common Stock owned directly by Buyer, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
A-3
(c) Each share of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury stock and shares described inSection 2.01(b) above) shall automatically and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth inSection 2.03) in accordance with thisArticle 2.
Section 2.02.Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock, when converted in accordance withSection 2.01(c) above, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive for each such share of Company Common Stock, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth inSection 2.03) in accordance with thisArticle 2 (subject to the provisions ofSection 2.07). At the Effective Time, the non-dissenting holders of Company Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Company, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth inSection 2.03) in accordance with thisArticle 2. After the Effective Time, there shall be no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of shares of Company Common Stock.
Section 2.03.Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to each non-dissenting holder of a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock, rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in Buyer Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Average VWAP of the Buyer Common Stock as of the Closing Date.
Section 2.04.Plan of Reorganization. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” as that term is used in Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. The business purpose of the Merger and the Bank Merger is to combine two financial institutions to create a strong community-based commercial banking franchise. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.
Section 2.05.Stock Options, Other Stock-Based Awards and Warrants.
(a) Unless otherwise noted, the provisions of thisSection 2.05 pertain to all options and other stock-based awards granted by Company, including but not limited to awards granted under Company’s 2014 Directors’ Stock Option Plan and 2014 Officers’ and Employees’ Stock Option Plan, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Stock Awards”), provided, however, that any accelerated vesting performed pursuant to thisSection 2.05 shall only be performed if required by the terms of the Company Stock Awards as in effect on the date hereof without any further action by Company.
(b) As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall either (i) assume any Company Stock Awards substantially in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Awards; or (ii) ; substitute the Company Stock Awards for substantially identical awards under any Buyer Stock Plans or other plans to be adopted by Buyer before the Effective Time (including substantially identical vesting and termination provisions in such Company Stock Awards), such that after the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any Company Stock Awards, the Company Stock Awards shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Buyer Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time and after giving effect to the foregoing assumption or substitution: (i) each Company Stock Award assumed or substituted by Buyer may be exercised solely for shares of Buyer Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Award shall
A-4
be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share); and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such Company Stock Award shall be equal to the exercise price under each such Company Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that the foregoing assumption shall be undertaken in a manner that will not constitute a “modification” as defined in Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code, as to any stock option which is an “incentive stock option.” Buyer and Company agree to take all necessary steps to effect the provisions of thisSection 2.05. Buyer shall cause the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Stock Awards after the Effective Time to be registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and to be authorized for listing on NASDAQ.
(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any Company or Company Bank employee or other participant consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of thisSection 2.05.
Section 2.06.Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, and provided that Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information that is reasonably required under the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise cause to be delivered to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Holder”) appropriate and customary transmittal materials in a form reasonably satisfactory to Company and the Exchange Agent, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss and/or bonds in such amounts as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, as well as instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth inSection 2.03) in accordance with thisArticle 2 as provided for in this Agreement (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Buyer and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Company to establish the identity of the Holders of shares of Company Common Stock, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto.
Section 2.07.Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a shareholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with applicable provisions of the FBCA (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a shareholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a shareholder of Company or the Surviving Entity with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, except those provided under applicable provisions of the FBCA (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). A Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of each share of Company Common Stock held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the FBCA, unless, after the Effective Time, such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, in which case such shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of his Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant toSection 2.06. Buyer shall have the right to participate in all discussions, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, voluntarily make, or offer to make, any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal. Company shall not waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the FBCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Buyer as the Surviving Entity.

(b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Buyer.

Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any Holder represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

The Exchange Agent and Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver cash and/or shares of Buyer Common Stock to a Holder to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such Holder surrenders the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing the shares of Company Common Stock for exchange as provided in thisArticle 2, or, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in such amount as may be reasonably required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent.
(b) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Company, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth inSection 2.03) in accordance with thisArticle 2 shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such Company Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer that the tax has been paid or is not applicable, and the person requesting payment for such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have complied with the provisions of the Letter of Transmittal. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, Buyer and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender

to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth inSection 2.03) represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.
(c) All shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and if ever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Buyer in respect of the Buyer Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Buyer Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate) or Book-Entry Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with thisArticle 2. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)) or Book-Entry Share, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Buyer Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.
(d) Buyer (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Holder such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and upon such remittance shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.
Section 2.10.Anti-Dilution Provisions.

Section 2.11.Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). Prior to the Effective Time, Company and Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Awards and any acquisitions of Buyer Common Stock or any awards under Buyer Stock Plans resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each director or officer of Company who, immediately following the Merger, will be officers or directors of the Surviving Entity subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable and in no event later than forty-five days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, each prepare and file any applications, notices and filings required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals and other Governmental Authority consents and approvals required to consummate the Merger. Subject to applicable Laws, (A) Buyer and Company will furnish each other and each other’s counsel with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, trustees, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be necessary or advisable in connection with any application, or petition made by or on behalf of Buyer or Company or their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (B) each party hereto shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to such party and any of its Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Authority, (C) Buyer and Company shall each furnish to the other for review a copy of each such filing made solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental

(b) Company will use its reasonable best efforts, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Company at Company’s request, to obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers or similar affirmations described onCompany Disclosure Schedule 3.13(c); provided that neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to make any payment to or grant any concessions to any third party in connection therewith. Each party will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, notify the other party promptly and shall promptly furnish the other party with copies of notices or other communications received by such party or any of its Subsidiaries of any communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person (or another Person) is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the response thereto from such party, its Subsidiaries or its representatives). Company will reasonably consult with Buyer and its representatives so as to permit Company and Buyer and their respective representatives to cooperate to take appropriate measures to obtain such consents and avoid or mitigate any adverse consequences that may result from the foregoing.
Section 5.08.Publicity. Buyer and Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the prior consent of Company (but after such consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances), issue such press release or make such public statements as may upon the advice of counsel be required by Law or the rules and regulations of NASDAQ. It is understood that Buyer shall assume primary responsibility for the preparation of joint press releases relating to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 5.09.Access; Current Information.
(a) For the purposes of verifying the representations and warranties of the other and preparing for the Merger and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, each party agrees to afford the other party and its officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives such access during normal business hours at any time and from time to time throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to its and its Subsidiaries’ books, records (including, without limitation, Tax Returns and, subject to the consent of the independent auditors, work papers of independent auditors), information technology systems, properties and personnel and to such other information relating to them as a party may reasonably request and the other party shall use reasonable best efforts to provide any appropriate notices to employees and/or customers in accordance with applicable Law and its privacy policy and, during such period, each party shall furnish to the other, upon reasonable request, all such other information concerning its business, properties and personnel and its Subsidiaries that is substantially similar in scope to the information provided to the other party in connection with its diligence review prior to the date of this Agreement.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after they become available, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party will furnish to the other party copies of the board packages distributed to its board of directors or the board of directors of its subsidiary bank, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and minutes from the meetings thereof, copies of any internal management financial control reports showing actual financial performance against plan and previous period, and copies of any reports provided to its board of directors or any committee thereof relating to its financial performance and risk management.
A-48
(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each of Company and Buyer will cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a regular basis with representatives of the other party and to report the general status of the ongoing operations of Company and its Subsidiaries and Buyer and its Subsidiaries, respectively. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees to provide to the other party, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, a copy of each report filed by such party or any of its Subsidiaries with a Governmental Authority reasonably promptly following the filing thereof. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each party will promptly supplement or amend its Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in its Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in its Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby.
(d) No investigation by a party or its representatives shall be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the other party or its subsidiary bank set forth in this Agreement, or the conditions to the respective obligations of Buyer and Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Any investigation pursuant to thisSection 5.09,Section 5.14 andSection 5.19 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of business of the other party or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 5.09(e) to the contrary, no party shall not be required to provide the other with any documents that disclose confidential discussions or information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any other matter that a party or its subsidiary bank’s board of directors has been advised by counsel that such distribution of which to the other party may violate a confidentiality obligation or fiduciary duty or any Law or regulation, or may result in its waiver of attorney-client privilege. In the event any of the restrictions in thisSection 5.09(e) shall apply, each party shall consent, waiver, decree and approve necessary to satisfy any confidentiality issues relating to documents prepared or held by third parties (including work papers), and the parties will use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate alternate disclosure arrangements, including adopting additional specific procedures to protect the confidentiality of sensitive material and to ensure compliance with applicable Laws.
Section 5.10.No Solicitation by Company; Superior Proposals.
(a) Subject toSection 5.10(b), Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors and employees not to, and will not authorize any investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates or other agents of Company or any of Company’s Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly induce or encourage, or knowingly take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its officers, directors, employees and advisors or Buyer) regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its officers, directors, employees and advisors or Buyer) any non-public information or data with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Company is a party except if the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any of the Company Representatives, whether or not such Company Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Company Representative is purporting to act on behalf of Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Company. Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of the Company
A-49
Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from Buyer), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean (A) any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Company or Company Bank that, in any such case, results in any Person (or, in the case of a direct merger between such third party and Company, Company Bank or any other Subsidiary of Company, the shareholders of such third party) acquiring 20% or more of any class of equity of Company or Company Bank; (B) any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Company or Company Bank; (C) any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 20% or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of Company or Company Bank; (D) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of Company or Company Bank; or (E) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (i) that if consummated would result in a third party (or, in the case of a direct merger between such third party and Company, Company Bank or any other Subsidiary of Company, the shareholders of such third party) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding Company Common Stock or more than 50% of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities and (ii) that Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, (A) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal, including all conditions contained therein and the person making such Acquisition Proposal, and (B) taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed by Buyer in response to such Acquisition Proposal, as contemplated by paragraph (c) of thisSection 5.10, and all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such takeover proposal, including all conditions contained therein and the person making such proposal, is more favorable to the shareholders of Company from a financial point of view than the Merger.
(b) NotwithstandingSection 5.10(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the date of the Company Meeting, Company may take any of the actions described inSection 5.10(a) if, but only if, (A) Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of thisSection 5.10; (B) the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (1) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (2) the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and (C) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, Company receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to Company than those contained in the confidentiality agreement with Buyer (it being understood that nothing therein shall have the effect of a standstill provision). Company shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public information regarding Company or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Buyer, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.
(c) Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Buyer in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be
A-50
initiated or continued with, Company or the Company Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (and, in the case of written materials relating to such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications) except to the extent that such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement). Company agrees that it shall keep Buyer informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request).
(d) Subject toSection 5.10(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse in any respect to the interest of Buyer, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with, the Company Recommendation, fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) Business Days following a request by Buyer, or make any public statement, filing or release, in connection with the Company Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Company Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) resolve to take, or publicly announce an intention to take, any of the foregoing actions (each of (i), (ii) or (iii) a “Company Subsequent Determination”); or (iv) enter into (or cause Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions ofSection 5.10(b)) or (B) requiring Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) NotwithstandingSection 5.10(d), prior to the date of the Company Meeting, the Company Board may make a Company Subsequent Determination after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from Company advising Buyer that the Company Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of thisSection 5.10) constitutes a Superior Proposal if, but only if, (i) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood that the initial determination under this clause (i) will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination), (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by Buyer (the “Notice Period”), Company and the Company Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with Buyer to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination;provided,however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms, if any, as may have been proposed by Buyer since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of thisSection 5.10(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Buyer and again comply with the requirements of thisSection 5.10(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.
(f) Notwithstanding any Company Subsequent Determination, this Agreement shall be submitted to Company’s shareholders at the Company Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Company of such obligation;provided,however, that if the Company Board shall have made a
A-51
Company Subsequent Determination with respect to a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may recommend approval of such Superior Proposal by the shareholders of Company and may submit this Agreement to Company’s shareholders without recommendation, in which event the Company Board shall communicate the basis for its recommendation of such Superior Proposal and the basis for its lack of a recommendation with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to Company’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement-Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto.
(g) Nothing contained in thisSection 5.10 shall prohibit Company or the Company Board from complying with Company’s obligations required under Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;provided,however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in the Company Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, such disclosure will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination.
Section 5.11.Indemnification.
(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, and in any event subject to the provisions ofSection 5.11(b), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of Company and Company Bank (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative arising out of actions or omissions of such persons in the course of performing their duties for Company or Company Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each a “Claim”), to the fullest extent as such persons have the right to be indemnified pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Company in effect on the date of this Agreement and applicable Law and in connection with any such Claim promptly advance expenses from time to time as incurred, to the same extent as such persons have the right to expense advancement pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Company in effect on the date of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,provided, the person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking to repay such advances, if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under thisSection 5.11 shall promptly notify Buyer upon learning of any Claim,providedthat, failure to so notify shall not affect the obligation of Buyer under thisSection 5.11, unless, and only to the extent that, Buyer is materially prejudiced in the defense of such Claim as a consequence. In the event of any such Claim (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), (i) (A) Buyer shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Buyer shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, unless such Indemnified Party is advised in writing by counsel that the defense of such Indemnified Party by Buyer would create an actual or potential conflict of interest (in which case, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse or indemnify any Indemnified Party for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction where defense of any Claim has been or is to be asserted), and (B) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (ii) Buyer shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Buyer shall not settle any Claim without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) Buyer shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if such indemnification would be in violation of any applicable federal or state banking Laws or regulations, or in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws and regulations, whether or not related to banking Laws. All rights to indemnification in respect of any Claim asserted or made prior to the period ending six (6) years after the Effective Time shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim.
A-52
(c) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance (herein, “D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from acts and omissions occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, as that coverage currently provided by Company,provided that, if Buyer is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by thisSection 5.11, Buyer will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available (subject to the limitations described below in thisSection 5.11(c); andprovided, further,that officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to the carrier of the D&O Insurance for the purpose of obtaining such insurance. In no event shall Buyer be required to expend for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of an amount equal to 190% of the annual premium paid by Company for D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the aggregate cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, Buyer shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium or, in the case of a tail insurance policy, the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium for the 6-year period). At the option of Company, prior to the Effective Time and in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, Company may purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the terms described in thisSection 5.11(c) (including subject to the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium, except if one or more directors elects to pay for any excess over such amount) and fully pay for such 6-year policy prior to the Effective Time, in which event Buyer’s obligations under thisSection 5.11(c) shall be fully satisfied. If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by Company prior to the Effective Time, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation or modification of such policy.
(d) If Buyer or any of its successors and assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in thisSection 5.11.
(e) These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Buyer under thisSection 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under thisSection 5.11 that is denied by Buyer, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expense, in whole or in part, then Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with enforcing such claim against Buyer.
(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in thisSection 5.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.
Section 5.12.Employees; Benefit Plans.
(a) Employees of Company and Company Bank shall be retained as “at will” employees after the Effective Time as employees of Buyer or Buyer Bank. In addition, Company and Company Bank agree, upon
A-53
Buyer’s reasonable request, to facilitate discussions between Buyer and Company Employees a reasonable time in advance of the Closing Date regarding employment, consulting or other arrangements to be effective prior to or following the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, any interaction between Buyer and Company Employees shall be coordinated by Company or Company Bank.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall take all action required to (i) cause any Company Benefit Plan that has liabilities in respect of its participants, to be fully funded to the extent required under applicable Law; (ii) terminate all such plans effective immediately prior to Closing (unless directed otherwise by Buyer or Buyer Bank); and (iii) commence the process to pay out any vested benefits thereunder to participating and eligible Company Employees in such form or forms as Company or Company Bank elects and as permitted or required under applicable Law. Distributions of benefits under any profit sharing plan of Company or Company Bank shall occur in accordance with such plan’s terms, and a participant in such plan will be allowed to take, at the participant’s option: (x) a direct distribution from such plan, (y) a rollover to an Individual Retirement Account, or (z) a rollover to a tax qualified retirement plan of Buyer or Buyer Bank to the extent the plan sponsored by Buyer or Buyer Bank accepts rollover contributions, if such participant is employed by Buyer or Buyer Bank.
(c) For any Company Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable Buyer Benefit Plan of general applicability, Company Employees who are retained by Buyer or Buyer Bank shall be entitled to participate in Buyer Benefit Plans to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Buyer or Buyer Bank (it being understood that inclusion of Company Employees in the Buyer Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). To the extent allowable under any of such plans, Company Employees shall be given credit for prior service or employment with Company or Company Bank (as well as service with any predecessor employer) for all purposes, including for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit plan accruals (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan or for service time requirements under the Buyer’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan);providedthat the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may amend or terminate any Buyer Benefit Plan at any time in its sole discretion.
(d) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such plan to (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health, or dental plans of Buyer or Buyer Bank, (ii) subject to approval from Buyer’s insurance carrier, if required, provide full credit under such plans for any deductible incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation, and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous plan prior to the Effective Time for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.
(e) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in thisSection 5.12, Buyer shall honor, and Buyer shall be obligated to perform, all employment, severance, deferred compensation, retirement or “change-in-control” agreements, plans or policies of Company or Company Bank, but only if such obligations, rights, agreements, plans or policies are set forth inCompany Disclosure Schedule 5.12(e). Buyer acknowledges that the consummation of the Merger and Bank Merger will constitute a “change-in-control” of Company and Company Bank for purposes of any benefit plans, agreements and arrangements of Company and Company Bank. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of Buyer or Buyer Bank to amend or terminate any of the Company Benefit Plans or Buyer Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time, subject to vested rights of employees and directors that may not be terminated pursuant to the terms of such Company Benefit Plans.
(f) Each full-time employee of Company or Company Bank, other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on a termination of employment, who incurs an involuntary termination (other than for cause) within six (6) months
A-54
following the Effective Time shall receive a lump sum severance payment from Buyer or Buyer Bank equal to two (2) weeks of pay at the rate then in effect, for each full year of employment with Company or Company Bank, up to a maximum of twenty six (26) weeks, provided that such employee enters into a release of claims against Company and Buyer, their Subsidiaries and Affiliates in a form satisfactory to Buyer.
(g) Nothing in thisSection 5.12, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of thisSection 5.12. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of thisSection 5.12 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant of Company or its Subsidiaries or Controlled Group Members, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment), compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits or any other matter. Nothing in thisSection 5.12 is intended (i) to amend any Company Benefit Plan or any Buyer Benefit Plan, (ii) interfere with Buyer’s right from and after the Closing Date to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan that is not terminated prior to the Effective Time or Buyer Benefit Plan, (iii) interfere with Buyer’s right from and after the Effective Time to terminate the employment or provision of services by any director, employee, independent contractor or consultant or (iv) interfere with Buyer’s indemnification obligations set forth inSection 5.11.
Section 5.13.Notification of Certain Changes. Buyer and Company shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event having, or which could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or which it believes would, or which could reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of its or its respective Subsidiaries’ representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, which reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition inArticle 6 to be satisfied on the Closing Date,provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any change or event shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of thisSection 5.13, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying change or event would independently result in a failure of any of the conditions set forth inSection 6.02 orSection 6.03 to be satisfied on the Closing Date.

VOTING AGREEMENT
THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 9, 2016, is made and entered into between the undersigned shareholder (“Shareholder”) of FBC Bancorp, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Sunshine Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Buyer”).
WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Buyer, Florida Bank of Commerce, a Florida state bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Company (“Company Bank”), and Sunshine Bank, a Federal savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Buyer Bank”), have entered, or will enter, into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the merger (the “Merger”) of Company into Buyer and Company Bank into Buyer Bank;
WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Buyer has required that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) beneficially owned by Shareholder and set forth below Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the “Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
2. | Representations of Shareholder. |
Shareholder represents and warrants to Buyer that:
(a) (i) Shareholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the “Exchange Act”) all of the Original Shares, and (ii) except pursuant hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.
(b) Shareholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).
(c) Shareholder has full legal capacity (and, if applicable, corporate power and authority) to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except in each case as enforcement may be limited general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditor’s rights and remedies generally.
(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Shareholder or to Shareholder’s property or assets.
A-80
(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. No consent of Shareholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Shareholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
3. | Agreement to Vote Shares. |
Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement, Shareholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and to cause any holder of record of Shares to vote (or execute a written consent or consents if shareholders of the Company are requested to vote their shares through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of Shareholders of the Company): (i) in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, at every meeting (or in connection with any action by written consent) of the shareholders of the Company at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof; (ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder under this Agreement, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of the Company’s or Company Bank’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Shareholder from voting for a Superior Proposal (and, in that circumstance, against the Merger and the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms of Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement.
4. | No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. |
Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Buyer.
5. | Transfer and Encumbrance. |
Shareholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Shareholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of thisSection 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Stockholder to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.
Shareholder agrees that all shares of Company Common Stock that Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.
A-81
7. | Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. |
Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Shareholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
9. | No Agreement as Director or Officer. |
Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (if Shareholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Shareholder in Shareholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its shareholders.
Each party hereto acknowledges that it may be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party may not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.
All notices, requests, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested), (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any civil action, arbitration or other legal proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any provision of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs (including without limitation, all such fees, taxes, costs and expenses incident to arbitration, appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings), incurred in that proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.

In performing the Officer’s duties pursuant to this Agreement, the Officer shall devote the Officer’s full business time, energy, skill and reasonable best efforts to promote the Corporation and the Bank and its respective business and affairs; provided that, subject to Sections 10, 12 and 13 of this Agreement, the Officer shall have the right to manage and pursue personal and family interests, and make passive investments in securities, real estate, and other assets, and also to participate in charitable and community activities and organizations, so long as such activities do not adversely affect the performance by Officer of the Officer’s duties and obligations to the Corporation or the Bank. The Board shall, in its sole and exclusive discretion, assign reasonable duties and responsibilities to the Officer, and the Officer commits to perform those duties to the best of the Officer’s ability. The Corporation shall cause the Officer to be appointed to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of each of the Corporation and the Bank, and thereafter during the term of this Agreement, the Corporation shall cause the Officer to be nominated for re-election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and shall re-elect the Officer to the Board of Directors of the Bank, provided, however, that upon the termination of the Officer’s employment for any reason, Officer shall immediately resign from her position on the Board of Directors of each of the Corporation and the Bank.

5.Benefits and Insurance.

A-95
8.Termination; Change in Control. The employment of the Officer may be terminated as follows:
(a) By the Corporation by action taken by its Board or its Chief Executive Officer, at any time and immediately upon written notice to the Officer if said discharge is for cause. In the notice of termination furnished to the Officer under this Section 8(a), the reason or reasons for said termination shall be given and, if no reason or reasons are given for said termination, said termination shall be deemed to be without cause and therefore termination pursuant to Section 8(e). Any one or more of the following conditions shall be deemed to be grounds for termination of the employment of the Officer for cause under this Section 8(a) (“Cause”):
(i) The conviction of, plea of nolo contendere, or entry of judgment against the Officer by a civil or criminal court of competent jurisdiction of a felony or first degree misdemeanor, or any other offense or wrongdoing involving dishonesty, embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation of funds, any act of moral turpitude or dishonesty;
(ii) The finding by a court of competent jurisdiction in a criminal or civil action or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or state blue sky agency in an administrative proceeding that the Officer has violated any federal or state securities law;
(iii) If the Officer shall fail or refuse to comply with the obligations required of Officer as set forth in this Agreement or the reasonable duties assigned to the Officer from time to time, or comply with the reasonable policies of the Corporation or the Bank established from time to time;
(iv) If the Officer shall have engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, personal dishonesty, or breach of fiduciary duty, or any other conduct, which in any such case has adversely affected, or may adversely affect, the business or reputation of the Corporation or the Bank;
(v) If the Officer shall have violated any banking law or regulation, memorandum of understanding, cease and desist order, or other agreement with any banking agency having jurisdiction over the Bank;
(vi) If the Officer shall have become subject to continuing intemperance in the use of alcohol or drugs which has adversely affected, or may adversely affect, the business or reputation of the Corporation or the Bank, or has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude;
(vii) If the Officer shall have filed, or had filed against the Officer, any petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency laws;
(viii) The unauthorized disclosure by the Officer of Confidential Information, as defined in this Agreement, concerning the Corporation, the Bank or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, unless such disclosure was required by an order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter or a summons, subpoena or order in the nature thereof of any legislative body (including any committee thereof) or any governmental or administrative agency; or
(ix) The performance of services by the Officer, other than in the course of properly carrying out the Officer’s duties under this Agreement and as otherwise provided herein, for any other corporation or person that competes with the Bank while the Officer is employed by the Corporation or the Bank.
In the event of termination for Cause, the Bank shall pay the Officer only salary, vacation, and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of termination.
(b) By the Officer upon the lapse of 30 days following written notice by the Officer to the Corporation of termination of Officer’s employment hereunder for Good Reason (as defined below), which notice shall reasonably describe the Good Reason for which the Officer’s employment is being terminated; provided,
A-96
however, that the Corporation shall have the opportunity to cure such Good Reason, during such 30-day period, and the Officer’s employment shall continue in effect during such time. If such Good Reason shall be cured during such time, the Officer’s employment and the obligations of the Corporation and the Bank hereunder shall not terminate as a result of the notice which has been given with respect to such Good Reason. Cure of any Good Reason with or without notice from the Officer shall not relieve the Corporation or the Bank from any obligations to the Officer under this Agreement or otherwise and shall not affect the Officer’s rights upon the reoccurrence of the same, or the occurrence of any other, Good Reason. Any notice of termination for Good Reason must be delivered by the Officer to the Corporation within sixty (60) days of the event providing grounds for Good Reason termination and must contain a reasonably detailed description of the relevant facts and circumstances. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean (i) any breach by the Corporation or the Bank of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 18 of this Agreement, (ii) any material breach by the Corporation or the Bank of any other provision of this Agreement, or (iii) reassignment which assigns full-time employment duties to Officer to a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Officer’s principal office on the date of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Officer shall be required to regularly travel to the Corporation’s various offices and customers as a core function of the Officer’s duties, and such obligations and travel requirements shall not give rise to a termination for “Good Reason”).
If the Officer’s employment is terminated by the Officer for Good Reason, the Bank shall, for a period of 12 months after said termination (i) pay the Officer the sum of the annual base salary in effect under Section 4(a) on the date of said termination, plus an amount equal to the last bonus paid by the Bank to the Officer, which amount shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly scheduled pay period and (ii) reimburse the Officer for the costs of continued coverage under the Bank’s medical insurance plan in accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), less the amount that the Officer would be required to contribute for such health coverage if the Officer were an active employee.
(c) By the Officer upon the lapse of 30 days following written notice by the Officer to the Corporation of the Officer’s resignation for other than Good Reason; provided, however, that the Corporation, in its discretion, may cause such termination to be effective at any time during such 30-day period. If the Officer’s employment is terminated because of the Officer’s resignation, the Bank shall be obligated to pay to the Officer any salary, vacation, and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of such resignation.
(d) If the Officer’s employment is terminated by the death or disability (i.e., the inability of the Officer by reason of illness or physical or mental disability to perform the employment duties required of the Officer, as determined by the Corporation and the Bank, for a period of 90 consecutive days) of the Officer, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the Bank shall be obligated to pay to the Officer or the Officer’s estate any salary, vacation, and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid at the date of disability or death.
(e) By the Corporation, by action taken by its Board or its Chief Executive Officer, at any time if said discharge is without Cause. If the Officer’s employment is terminated without Cause, the Bank shall, for a period of 12 months after said termination (i) pay to the Officer the sum of the annual base salary in effect under Section 4(a) on the date of said termination plus an amount equal to the last bonus paid by the Bank to the Officer, which amount shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly scheduled pay period and (ii) reimburse the Officer for the costs of continued coverage under the Bank’s medical insurance plan in accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), less the amount that the Officer would be required to contribute for such health coverage if the Officer were an active employee.
(f) If a Change in Control (as defined below) shall occur at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Officer may terminate her employment for any reason or no reason by delivering a notice in writing (the “Notice of Termination”) to the Corporation within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control which termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such Notice of Termination. In the event that the Officer delivers a Notice of Termination to the Corporation, or the Officer’s employment is terminated without Cause by the Corporation within two (2) years following a Change in Control, Officer shall be entitled to receive, within
A-97
twenty (20) days of termination, a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) her base annual salary and (ii) the last annual cash bonus earned by the Officer. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with an unaffiliated entity, but not including a merger or consolidation in which any individual or group of the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are the beneficial owners of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the acquisition by any individual or group of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Corporation common stock, or (iii) the sale by the Corporation or the Bank of all or substantially all of their respective assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall only be deemed to occur under this Section 8(f) if it constitutes a “change in control” as defined under Section 409A of the Code. It is the intent of the parties that benefits under this Section 8(f) shall be in lieu of any other benefit payments that the Corporation or Bank may otherwise be obligated to make to the Officer under this Section 8. Therefore, if any benefits are paid under this Section 8(f), no subsequent benefits shall be paid under any other subsection of this Section 8, and shall not be paid for a second time under this Section 8(f).
(g) Notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, any benefits payable by the Corporation or the Bank to the Officer which constitute a “deferral of compensation” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-l (b), and which are payable by reason of the Officer’s termination, shall not be payable unless the Officer’s termination of employment qualifies as a “separation of service” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-l (h) (“Separation from Service”).
(h) (1) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Officer is considered a Specified Employee (as defined below), any benefit distributions which would otherwise be made to the Officer due to a Separation from Service which are limited under Code Section 409A because the Officer is a Specified Employee, shall not be made during the first six months following Separation from Service. Rather, any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Officer during such period shall be accumulated and paid to the Officer in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation from Service. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner specified.
(2) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” means an employee who at the time of termination of employment is a key employee of the Bank, if any stock of the Bank (or any affiliate that would be considered a “service recipient” under Code Section 409A) is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, an employee is a key employee if the employee meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding section 416(i)(5) at any time during the 12-month period ending on December 31 (the “identification period”). If the employee is a key employee during an identification period, the employee is treated as a key employee for purposes of this Agreement during the twelve-month period that begins on the first day of April following the close of the identification period.
(i) Any amounts paid to the Officer under this Agreement prior to the Officer’s termination of employment with the Bank shall be paid during the short-term deferral period as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).
(j) This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered consistent with Code Section 409A.
(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Officer will not be entitled to any payments or benefits under Section 8(b) or 8(e) (unless such termination event related to the payments or benefits occurs on or after a Change in Control) unless and until Officer executes a release of all claims that Officer or any of Officer’s affiliates or beneficiaries may have against the Bank or any affiliate, and their officers, directors, successors and assigns, releasing said persons from any and all claims, rights, demands, causes of action, suits, arbitrations or grievances relating to the employment relationship, including claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), but not including claims for benefits under tax-qualified plans or other benefit plans
A-98
in which the Officer is vested, claims for benefits required by applicable law or claims with respect to obligations set forth in this Agreement that survive the termination of this Agreement. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the ADEA, the release must be provided to Officer no later than the date of her Separation from Service and Officer must execute the release within twenty-one (21) days after the date of termination without subsequent revocation by Officer within seven (7) days after execution of the release.
(l) Officer shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 8 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of payment or the benefit provided in this Section 8 be reduced by any compensation or earned by Officer as the result of employment by another employer or by reason of Officer’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits after the date of termination of employment or otherwise.
9.Notice. All notices permitted or required to be given to either party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of delivery, when addressed to the other party as set forth at the end of this Agreement and delivered to said address (and, in the case of the Corporation or the Bank, at its main office), (b) in the case of mailing, three days after the same has been mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, and deposited postage prepaid in the U.S. Mails, addressed to the other party at the address as set forth at the end of this Agreement, and (c) in any other case, when actually received by the other party. Either party may change the address at which said notice is to be given by delivering notice of such to the other party to this Agreement in the manner set forth herein.
10.Confidential Information. While employed, Officer will have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information, including but not limited to, financial, personnel, sales, customers, clients, scientific, technical and other information regarding formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, operations, plans and processes that are owned by the Corporation or the Bank, actually or potentially used in the operation of the Corporation’s or Bank’s business, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of confidentiality, and that such information constitutes the Corporation’s and the Bank’s Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information. Officer hereby expressly agrees that such Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information are and shall remain the trade secrets and property of the Corporation or the Bank, as the case may be, and Officer agrees that Officer will not at any time during the term of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement, disclose or use in any way whatsoever any of such confidential information. Furthermore, Officer specifically covenants and agrees not to make any duplicates, copies, or reconstructions of such materials, and that if any such duplicates, copies, or reconstructions are made, they shall become the property of the Corporation upon their creation.
For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information shall mean all information of a confidential or proprietary nature (including such information described herein), in any form or medium, that relates to: (a) internal business information, including financial information and information relating to strategic and staffing plans, business, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans, cost, rate and pricing structures; (b) identities of, individual requirements of, specific contractual arrangements with, the Corporation’s or Bank’s clients, customers, vendors and other trade related business relations and their confidential information; (c) object code and source code to the Corporation’s or the Bank’s software, technical designs, data dictionaries, information relating to trade secrets, know-how, compilations of data and databases relating thereto, including information containing proprietary databases and the use and functions thereof; (d) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information, whether patentable or not; and (e) other intellectual property rights of the Corporation or the Bank.
Officer agrees that all files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment, software, and similar items or technological information whether maintained in hard copy or by electronic means relating to the
A-99
Corporation or the Bank’s business, whether prepared by Officer or others, are and shall remain exclusively the property of the Corporation or the Bank, as applicable, and that they shall be removed from the premises or, if kept online, from the computer systems only with the express prior written consent of the Board. Upon termination of employment, or at any earlier time requested by the Corporation or the Bank, Officer shall promptly return all Confidential and/or Proprietary Information or inventions in Officer’s possession in whatever form, as well as any other property of the Corporation or the Bank, which is or has been in the Officer’s possession or under the Officer’s control. Officer agrees not to delete, modify, or bulk copy any work files prior to or subsequent to termination and the Officer agrees to reimburse all costs associated with data recovery if this provision of the Agreement is breached.
11.Legitimate Business Interests; Injunction Without Bond. The Officer acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank including, but not limited to, trade secrets and other valuable confidential business information. In the event there is a breach or threatened breach by the Officer of the provisions of Sections 10, 12, or 13, the Corporation shall be entitled to an injunction without bond to restrain such breach or threatened breach, and the prevailing party in any such proceeding will be entitled to reimbursement for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation and the Bank from pursuing such other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach including recovery of damages from the Officer.
12.Covenant Not to Compete. The Officer agrees that during the period of time the Officer is retained to provide services to the Corporation and/or the Bank, and thereafter for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of Officer’s services for any reason whatsoever, Officer will not enter the employ of, or have any interest in, directly or indirectly (either as executive, partner, director, officer, consultant, principal, agent or employee), any other bank or financial institution or any entity which either accepts deposits or makes loans (whether presently existing or subsequently established) and which has an office any time during the period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of Officer’s services that is located within a radius of 35 miles of any office of the Bank in existence at the time of termination; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude any ownership by the Officer of an amount not to exceed 5% of the equity securities of any entity which is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and the shares of Corporation common stock owned by the Officer at the time of termination of employment.
13.Covenant Not to Solicit. The Officer agrees that during the period of time the Officer is retained to provide services to the Corporation and/or the Bank, and thereafter for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of Officer’s services for any reason whatsoever, the Officer will not (a) solicit for employment by Officer, or anyone else, or employ any employee of the Bank or the Corporation or any person who was an employee of the Bank or Corporation within twelve (12) months prior to such solicitation of employment; (b) induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of the Bank or the Corporation to terminate such employee’s employment; (c) induce, or attempt to induce, anyone having a business relationship with the Bank or the Corporation to terminate or curtail such relationship or, on behalf of himself or anyone else, compete with the Bank or the Corporation; (d) knowingly make any untrue statement concerning the Corporation or the Bank or their respective directors or officers to anyone; or (e) permit anyone controlled by the Officer, or any person acting on behalf of the Officer or anyone controlled by an employee of the Officer to do any of the foregoing.
Officer acknowledges and agrees that the Bank and the Corporation have spent and continue to spend considerable time, energy, and money in training employees and shareholders and that the Bank and the Corporation would suffer significant damages if Officer were to either encourage one or more of such persons to no longer work for the Bank or the Corporation or offer to have one or more of such persons work for Officer. Further, Officer agrees and acknowledges that the above non-solicitation covenants are reasonable in that they give the Bank and the Corporation a protection to which they are entitled and yet does not impair Officer’s ability to earn a livelihood.
A-100
14.Remedies. The Officer agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable. The covenants set forth in this Agreement are not dependent covenants and any claim against the Corporation or the Bank, whether arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement or contract between the Corporation or the Bank and Officer, shall not be a defense to a claim against Officer for a breach or alleged breach of any of the covenants of Officer contained in this Agreement. It is expressly understood by and between the parties hereto that the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants. The Officer understands and agrees that if any of the separate covenants are judicially held invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not release Officer from Officer’s obligations under the remaining covenants of this Agreement. If in any judicial proceedings, a court shall refuse to enforce any or all of the separate covenants because taken together they are more extensive (whether as to geographic area, duration, scope of business or otherwise) than necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Corporation and the Bank, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties hereto that those separate covenants which, if eliminated or restricted, would permit the remaining separate covenants or the restricted separate covenant to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purposes of such proceeding, be eliminated from the provisions of this Agreement or restriction, as the case may be.
15.Invalid Provision. In the event any provision should be or become invalid or unenforceable, such facts shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Similarly, if the scope of any restriction or covenant contained herein should be or become too broad or extensive to permit enforcement thereof to its full extent, then any such restriction or covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Officer hereby consents and agrees that the scope of any such restriction or covenant may be modified accordingly in any judicial proceeding brought to enforce such restriction or covenant.
16.Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The sole and exclusive venue for any action arising out of this Agreement shall be a federal or state court situated in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the parties to this Agreement agree to be subject to the personal jurisdiction of such Court and that service on each party shall be valid if served by certified mail, return receipt requested or hand delivery.
17.Arbitration. Except with regard to Section 11, all disputes between the parties concerning the performance, breach, construction or interpretation of this Agreement, or in any manner arising out of this Agreement, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, which arbitration shall be carried out in the manner set forth below:
(a) Within fifteen (15) days after written notice by one party to the other party of its demand for arbitration, which demand shall set forth the name and address of its designated arbitrator, the other party shall select its designated arbitrator and so notify the demanding party. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the two arbitrators so selected shall select the third arbitrator. The dispute shall be heard by the arbitrators within ninety (90) days after selection of the third arbitrator. The decision of any two arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties. Should any party or arbitrator fail to make a selection, the American Arbitration Association shall designate such arbitrator upon the application of either party. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Bank, its successors and assigns and Officer.
(b) The arbitration proceedings shall take place in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the judgment and determination of such proceedings shall be binding on all parties. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered into any court having competent jurisdiction without any right of appeal.
18.Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event a dispute arises between the parties under this Agreement and suit or arbitration is instituted, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover his or its costs and attorneys’ fees from the nonprevailing party. As used herein, costs and attorneys’ fees include any costs and attorneys’ fees in any appellate proceeding.
A-101
19.Assignability; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs and assigns. No rights or obligations of the Corporation or the Bank under the Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the any party except that such rights or obligations of the Corporation and the Bank may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation or the Bank is not the continuing entity, or the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank and such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Corporation and the Bank.
20.Effect on Other Agreements. This Agreement and the termination thereof shall not affect any other agreement between the parties hereto, and the receipt by the Officer of benefits thereunder.
21.Miscellaneous. The captions used herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not used in construing this Agreement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the performance by each party of its or his or her duties and obligations hereunder.
22.Regulatory Actions; Clawback Requirements. The following provisions shall be applicable to the parties:
(a) If the Officer is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs pursuant to notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or Section 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) and 1818(g)(1)), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of suspension, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges and the notice are dismissed, the Bank may, in its discretion: (i) pay the Officer all or part of the compensation withheld while its obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.
(b) If the Officer is removed from office and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1) of the FDIA, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the Officer and the Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.
(c) If the Bank is in default, as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA, all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of such default, but vested rights of the Officer and the Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts paid or payable under the FDIA to the Officer pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Sections 18(k) and 32(a) of the FDIA and Part 359 of the FDIC’s rules and regulations, and any regulations promulgated under the FDIA.
(e) This Agreement shall be subject to applicable federal and state law regarding clawback of executive compensation. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, clawback regulations are promulgated by any state or federal agency with regulatory authority over the Bank, Officer and the Bank agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment incorporating a clawback provision into this Agreement.
23.Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the parties hereto and incorporates all prior discussions, agreements and representations made in regard to the matters set forth herein. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed except by a writing signed by the party to be charged by said amendment, change or modification.

VOTING AGREEMENT
THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 9, 2016, is made and entered into between the undersigned shareholder (“Shareholder”) of FBC Bancorp, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Sunshine Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Buyer”).
WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Buyer, Florida Bank of Commerce, a Florida state bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Company (“Company Bank”), and Sunshine Bank, a Federal savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Buyer Bank”), have entered, or will enter, into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the merger (the “Merger”) of Company into Buyer and Company Bank into Buyer Bank;
WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Buyer has required that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) beneficially owned by Shareholder and set forth below Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the “Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
2. | Representations of Shareholder. |
Shareholder represents and warrants to Buyer that:
(a) (i) Shareholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the “Exchange Act”) all of the Original Shares, and (ii) except pursuant hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.
(b) Shareholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).
(c) Shareholder has full legal capacity (and, if applicable, corporate power and authority) to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except in each case as enforcement may be limited general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditor’s rights and remedies generally.
B-1
(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Shareholder or to Shareholder’s property or assets.
(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. No consent of Shareholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Shareholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
3. | Agreement to Vote Shares. |
Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement, Shareholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and to cause any holder of record of Shares to vote (or execute a written consent or consents if shareholders of the Company are requested to vote their shares through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of Shareholders of the Company): (i) in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, at every meeting (or in connection with any action by written consent) of the shareholders of the Company at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof; (ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder under this Agreement, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of the Company’s or Company Bank’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Shareholder from voting for a Superior Proposal (and, in that circumstance, against the Merger and the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms of Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement.
4. | No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. |
Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Buyer.
5. | Transfer and Encumbrance. |
Shareholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Shareholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of thisSection 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Stockholder to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.
B-2
Shareholder agrees that all shares of Company Common Stock that Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.
7. | Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. |
Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Shareholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
9. | No Agreement as Director or Officer. |
Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (if Shareholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Shareholder in Shareholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its shareholders.
Each party hereto acknowledges that it may be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party may not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.
All notices, requests, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested), (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, or (d) on the

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Florida.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any civil action, arbitration or other legal proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any provision of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs (including without limitation, all such fees, taxes, costs and expenses incident to arbitration, appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings), incurred in that proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled. Attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, paralegal fees, investigative fees, administrative costs and all other charges billed by the attorney to the prevailing party (including any fees and costs associated with collecting such amounts).

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The Board of Directors
Sunshine Bancorp, Inc.
102 West Baker Street
Plant City, Florida 33563
Members of the Board:
You have requested the opinion of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW” or “we”) as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. (“SBCP”) of the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) in the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of FBC Bancorp, Inc. (“FBC”) with and into SBCP, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) to be entered into by and among SBCP, FBC, Sunshine Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBCP (“Sunshine Bank”), and Florida Bank of Commerce, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FBC (“Florida Bank”). Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of SBCP, Sunshine Bank, FBC, Florida Bank or any holder of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of FBC (“FBC Common Stock”), each share of FBC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.88 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SBCP (“SBCP Common Stock”). The ratio of 0.88 of a share of SBCP Common Stock for one share of FBC Common Stock is referred to herein as the “Exchange Ratio”. The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.
The Agreement further provides that, immediately following the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter, Florida Bank will be merged with and into Sunshine Bank, upon the terms and with the effect set forth in a separate plan of merger between Florida Bank and Sunshine Bank (such transaction, the “Bank Merger”).
KBW has acted as financial advisor to SBCP and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of our investment banking business, we are continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of their broker-dealer businesses and further to certain sales and trading relationships, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, SBCP and FBC and their respective affiliates, and as a market maker in securities, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of SBCP for their own accounts and for the accounts of their respective customers. We have acted exclusively for the board of directors of SBCP (the “Board”) in rendering this opinion and will receive a fee from SBCP for our services. A portion of our fee is payable upon the rendering of this opinion, and a significant portion is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger. In addition, SBCP has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

In addition to the present engagement, KBW has provided investment banking and financial advisory services to SBCP during the past two years and received compensation for such services. KBW acted as financial advisor in connection with SBCP’s conversion and reorganization from a mutual company that was completed in July 2014, further to which KBW also acted as selling and conversion agent in the July 2014 subscription offering for SBCP Common Stock and as an underwriter in the July 2014 registered offering of SBCP Common Stock. During the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to FBC. We may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to SBCP or FBC and receive compensation for such services.
In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of SBCP and FBC and bearing upon the Merger, including among other things, the following: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated May [9], 2016 (the most recent draft made available to us); (ii) the audited financial statements and the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of SBCP; (iii) the audited financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of FBC; (iv) certain unaudited quarterly financial results for the period ended March 31, 2016 of SBCP (contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SBCP with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2016); (v) certain draft and unaudited quarterly financial results for the period ended March 31, 2016 of FBC (provided to us by representatives of FBC); (vi) certain regulatory filings of SBCP and FBC and their respective subsidiaries, including the respective semi-annual FR Y-9SPs and quarterly call reports filed with respect to each semi-annual period and quarter (as the case may be) during the three year period ended December 31, 2015 and, in regard to such quarterly call reports, the quarter ended March 31, 2016; (vii) certain other interim reports and other communications of SBCP and FBC to their respective stockholders; and (viii) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of SBCP and FBC furnished to us by SBCP and FBC or which we were otherwise directed to use for purposes of our analysis. Our consideration of financial information and other factors that we deemed appropriate under the circumstances or relevant to our analyses included, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of SBCP and FBC; (ii) the assets and liabilities of SBCP and FBC; (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions and business combinations in the banking industry; (iv) a comparison of certain financial and stock market information of SBCP and certain financial information of FBC with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (v) financial and operating forecasts and projections of SBCP that were prepared by SBCP management, provided to and discussed with us by such management, and used and relied upon by us at the direction of such management and with the consent of the Board; (vi) financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the second and third quarters of the 2016 fiscal year that were prepared by, and provided to us and discussed with us by, the management of FBC, and financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the period from the fourth quarter of the 2016 fiscal year through the 2021 fiscal year that were prepared by, and provided to us and discussed with us by, the management of SBCP, all of which information was used and relied upon by us based on such discussions with such managements at the direction of SBCP management and with the consent of the Board; and (vii) estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the Merger on SBCP (including but not limited to the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger) that were prepared by SBCP management, provided to and discussed with us by such management, and used and relied upon at the direction of such management with the consent of the Board. We have also performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate and have taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. We have also participated in discussions

that were held with the managements of SBCP and FBC regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry.
In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assumed any responsibility or liability for such verification, accuracy or completeness. We have relied upon the management of FBC as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the second and third quarters of the 2016 fiscal year (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared and provided to us by, and discussed with us by, such management and we have relied upon the management of SBCP as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of FBC with respect to the period from the fourth quarter of the 2016 fiscal year through the 2021 fiscal year (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared and provided to us by, and discussed with us by, such management, and we have assumed that all of the foregoing forecasts and projections were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We have further relied upon SBCP management as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of SBCP and the estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the Merger on SBCP (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared and provided to and discussed with us by such management and we have assumed that all such information was reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management, and that such forecasts, projections and estimates will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such management.
It is understood that such forecasts, projections and estimates of SBCP and FBC that were provided to and discussed with us were not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure, that all such information is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions and that, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such forecasts, projections and estimates. We have assumed, based on discussions with the managements of FBC and SBCP, that all such information provides a reasonable basis upon which we could form our opinion and we express no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor. We have relied on all such information without independent verification or analysis and do not in any respect assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.
We also have assumed that there have been no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of either SBCP or FBC since the date of the last financial statements of each such entity that were made available to us. We are not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed, without independent verification and with your consent that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for SBCP and FBC are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals or physical inspection of the property, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of SBCP or FBC, the collateral securing any of such assets or liabilities, or the collectability of any such assets, nor have we examined any individual loan or credit files, nor did we evaluate the solvency, financial capability or fair value of SBCP or FBC under any state or federal laws, including those relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other matters.

Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, we assume no responsibility or liability for their accuracy.
We have assumed, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) that the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger) will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement (the final terms of which we have assumed will not differ in any respect material to our analyses from the draft version reviewed by us) with no adjustments to the Exchange Ratio and with no other consideration or payments in respect of the FBC Common Stock; (ii) that the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct; (iii) that each party to the Agreement or any of the related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions, any necessary regulatory or governmental approval for the Merger and any related transactions (including the Bank Merger) and that all conditions to the completion of the Merger and any related transaction will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the Agreement or any related documents; and (v) that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Merger and any related transactions (including the Bank Merger), no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of SBCP, FBC or the pro forma entity or the contemplated benefits of the Merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger. We have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. We have further been advised by representatives of SBCP that SBCP has relied upon advice from its advisors (other than KBW) or other appropriate sources as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to SBCP, FBC, the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), and the Agreement. KBW has not provided advice with respect to any such matters.
This opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, of the Exchange Ratio in the Merger to SBCP. We express no view or opinion as to any other terms or aspects of the Merger or any terms or aspects of any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), including without limitation, the form or structure of the Merger or any such related transaction, any consequences of the Merger or any such related transaction to SBCP, its stockholders, creditors or otherwise, or any terms, aspects or implications of any employment, voting, support, stockholder, confidentiality, non-solicitation or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the Merger, any related transaction, or otherwise. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in this opinion and that KBW does not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion does not address, and we express no view or opinion with respect to, (i) the underlying business decision of SBCP to engage in the Merger or enter into the Agreement, (ii) the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that are, have been or may be available to or contemplated by SBCP or the Board, (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of SBCP’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Exchange Ratio, (iv) the effect of the Merger or any related transaction on, or the fairness of the consideration to be received by, holders of any class of securities of SBCP or FBC or any other party to any other transaction

contemplated by the Agreement,(v) any adjustment (as provided in the Agreement) to the Exchange Ratio assumed to be paid in the Merger for purposes of our opinion, (vi) the actual value of SBCP Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, (vii) the prices, trading range or volume at which SBCP Common Stock may trade following the public announcement of the Merger or following the consummation of the Merger, (viii) any advice or opinions provided by any other advisor to any of the parties to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Agreement, or (ix) any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar matters relating to SBCP, FBC, any of their respective shareholders, or relating to or arising out of or as a consequence of the Merger or any other related transaction (including the Bank Merger), including whether or not the Merger would qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.
This opinion is for the information of, and is directed to, the Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the Merger. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board as to how it should vote on the Merger or to any holder of SBCP Common Stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the Merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation as to whether or not any such shareholder should enter into a voting, shareholders’, affiliates’ or other agreement with respect to the Merger or exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights that may be available to such shareholder.
This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to SBCP.
Very truly yours,

With your consent, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied by or on behalf of the Company or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us, and we have undertaken no duty or responsibility to, nor did we, independently verify any of such information. In addition, we have not reviewed any individual credit files nor have we made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company or the Buyer or any of their respective subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. With respect to the Projections and any other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us, we have, with your consent, assumed that the Projections, the Buyer Projections and such other information and data have been reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company and the Buyer, respectively. We have been authorized by the Company to rely upon such forecasts, and other information and data, including the Projections for the Company and the Buyer, and we express no view as to any such forecasts or other information or data, or the bases or assumptions on which they were prepared. We have assumed that each party to the Agreement would advise us promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of our review.
We express no opinion with respect to the Projections and the Buyer Projections or the assumptions on which they are based. We have assumed that the final form of the Agreement will conform to the draft reviewed by us in all respects material to our analyses, and that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any conditions thereto and that, in the course of obtaining any necessary legal, regulatory or third party consents or approvals for the Merger, no delays, limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Company, the Buyer or the contemplated benefits of the Merger. Furthermore, we have assumed, in all respects material to our analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Agreement are true and correct and that each such party will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Agreement without being waived.
We have relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that (i) the Merger will be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with all applicable international, federal and state statutes, rules and regulations, and (ii) all governmental, regulatory, and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Merger will be obtained and that no delay, limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would have an effect on the Merger or the Company that would be material to our analyses or this Opinion.

recent financial statements and other information, financial or otherwise, provided to us that would be material to our analyses or this Opinion, and that there is no information or any facts that would make any of the information reviewed by us incomplete or misleading in any material respect.
We express no opinion as to the underlying business decision to effect the Merger, the structure or tax consequences of the Merger or the availability or advisability of any alternatives to the Merger. We provided advice to the Board with respect to the proposed Merger. We did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Merger. We did not solicit indications of interest with respect to a transaction involving the Company. This letter does not express any opinion as to the likely trading range of the Buyer’s stock following the Merger, which may vary depending on numerous factors that generally impact the price of securities or on the financial condition of the Buyer at that time. Our opinion only addresses the fairness from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to be received by the holders of the Company Common Stock.
We express no opinion with respect to any other reasons, legal, business, or otherwise, that may support the decision of the Board of Directors to approve or consummate the Merger. Furthermore, no opinion, counsel or interpretation is intended by Raymond James on matters that require legal, accounting or tax advice. It is assumed that such opinions, counsel or interpretations have been or will be obtained from the appropriate professional sources. Furthermore, we have relied, with the consent of the Board, on the fact that the Company has been assisted by legal, accounting and tax advisors and we have, with the consent of the Board, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the assessments by the Company and its advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters with respect to the Company and the Merger.
In formulating our opinion, we have considered only what we understand to be the consideration to be received by the holders of Company Common Stock as is described above and we did not consider and we express no opinion on the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, whether relative to the compensation received by the holders of the Common Shares or otherwise. We have not been requested to opine as to, and this Opinion does not express an opinion as to or otherwise address, among other things: (1) the fairness of the Merger to the holders of any class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of the Company, or to any other party, except and only to the extent expressly set forth in the last sentence of this Opinion or (2) the fairness of the Merger to any one class or group of the Company’s or any other party’s security holders or other constituencies vis-à-vis any other class or group of the Company’s or such other party’s security holders or other constituents (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration to be received in the Merger amongst or within such classes or groups of security holders or other constituents). We are not expressing any opinion as to the impact of the Merger on the solvency or viability of the Company or the Buyer or the ability of the Company or the Buyer to pay their respective obligations when they come due.
The delivery of this opinion was approved by an opinion committee of Raymond James. Raymond James has been engaged to render financial advisory services to the Company in connection with the proposed Merger and will receive a fee for such services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. Raymond James will also receive a fee upon the delivery of this Opinion, which is not contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger or on the conclusion reached herein. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses and to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Board of Directors of the Company (in each directors capacity as such) in evaluating the proposed Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company regarding how said shareholder should vote on the proposed Merger. Furthermore, this letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Raymond James to any such party. This Opinion may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that this Opinion may be disclosed in and filed with a proxy statement used in connection with the Merger that is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, provided that this Opinion is quoted in full in such proxy statement.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio provided for in the Merger pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Common Stock of the Company.

(b) The applicability of paragraph (a) shall be determined as of:
| 1. | The record date fixed to determine the shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the meeting of shareholders to act upon the corporate action requiring appraisal rights; or |
| 2. | If there will be no meeting of shareholders, the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution recommending such corporate action. |
(c) Paragraph (a) shall not be applicable and appraisal rights shall be available pursuant to subsection (1) for the holders of any class or series of shares who are required by the terms of the corporate action requiring appraisal rights to accept for such shares anything other than cash or shares of any class or any series of shares of any corporation, or any other proprietary interest of any other entity, that satisfies the standards set forth in paragraph (a) at the time the corporate action becomes effective.
(d) Paragraph (a) shall not be applicable and appraisal rights shall be available pursuant to subsection (1) for the holders of any class or series of shares if:

(e) For the purposes of paragraph (d) only, the term “beneficial owner” means any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, or understanding, other than a revocable proxy, has or shares the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, shares, provided that a member of a national securities exchange shall not be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities held directly or indirectly by it on behalf of another person solely because such member is the recordholder of such securities if the member is precluded by the rules of such exchange from voting without instruction on contested matters or matters that may affect substantially the rights or privileges of the holders of the securities to be voted. When two or more persons agree to act together for the purpose of voting their shares of the corporation, each member of the group formed thereby shall be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, as of the date of such agreement, of all voting shares of the corporation beneficially owned by any member of the group.

(b) Was procured as a result of fraud or material misrepresentation.

History.—s. 29, ch. 2003-283.
607.1330 Court action.—
(1) If a shareholder makes demand for payment under s. 607.1326 which remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within 60 days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, any shareholder who has made a demand pursuant to s.607.1326 may commence the proceeding in the name of the corporation.
(2) The proceeding shall be commenced in the appropriate court of the county in which the corporation’s principal office, or, if none, its registered office, in this state is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in this state, the proceeding shall be commenced in the county in this state in which the principal office or registered office of the domestic corporation merged with the foreign corporation was located at the time of the transaction.
(3) All shareholders, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled shall be made parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares. The corporation shall serve a copy of the initial pleading in such proceeding upon each shareholder party who is a resident of this state in the manner provided by law for the service of a summons and complaint and upon each nonresident shareholder party by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.
(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) is plenary and exclusive. If it so elects, the court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers shall have the powers described in the order appointing them or in any amendment to the order. The shareholders demanding appraisal rights are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings. There shall be no right to a jury trial.
(5) Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment for the amount of the fair value of such shareholder’s shares, plus interest, as found by the court.
F-7
(6) The corporation shall pay each such shareholder the amount found to be due within 10 days after final determination of the proceedings. Upon payment of the judgment, the shareholder shall cease to have any interest in the shares.
History.—s. 2, ch. 2004-378.
607.1331 Court costs and counsel fees.—
(1) The court in an appraisal proceeding shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds such shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.
(2) The court in an appraisal proceeding may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with ss.607.1320 and607.1322; or
(b) Against either the corporation or a shareholder demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.
(3) If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the shareholders who were benefited.
(4) To the extent the corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to s.607.1324, the shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from the corporation all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.

607.1332 Disposition of acquired shares.—
Shares acquired by a corporation pursuant to payment of the agreed value thereof or pursuant to payment of the judgment entered therefor, as provided in this chapter, may be held and disposed of by such corporation as authorized but unissued shares of the corporation, except that, in the case of a merger or share exchange, they may be held and disposed of as the plan of merger or share exchange otherwise provides. The shares of the surviving corporation into which the shares of such shareholders demanding appraisal rights would have been converted had they assented to the merger shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of the surviving corporation.

607.1333 Limitation on corporate payment.—
(1) No payment shall be made to a shareholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, the corporation is unable to meet the distribution standards of s.607.06401. In such event, the shareholder shall, at the shareholder’s option:
(a) Withdraw his or her notice of intent to assert appraisal rights, which shall in such event be deemed withdrawn with the consent of the corporation; or
F-8
(b) Retain his or her status as a claimant against the corporation and, if it is liquidated, be subordinated to the rights of creditors of the corporation, but have rights superior to the shareholders not asserting appraisal rights, and if it is not liquidated, retain his or her right to be paid for the shares, which right the corporation shall be obliged to satisfy when the restrictions of this section do not apply.
(2) The shareholder shall exercise the option under paragraph (1)(a) or paragraph (1)(b) by written notice filed with the corporation within 30 days after the corporation has given written notice that the payment for shares cannot be made because of the restrictions of this section. If the shareholder fails to exercise the option, the shareholder shall be deemed to have withdrawn his or her notice of intent to assert appraisal rights.

2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
(As Adopted and Approved on August 26, 2015)
ARTICLE 1—GENERAL
Section 1.1Purpose, Effective Date and Term. The purpose of the Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term financial success of Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries, including Sunshine Bank (the “Bank”), by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute to such success and to further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders through the ownership of additional common stock of the Company. The “Effective Date” of the Plan shall be the date the Plan satisfies the applicable stockholder approval requirements. The Plan shall remain in effect as long as any Awards are outstanding;provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after the day immediately prior to the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date.
Section 1.2Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), in accordance with Section 5.1.
Section 1.3Participation. Each Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company who is granted an Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan shall be a “Participant” in the Plan. The grant of Awards shall be limited to Employees and Directors of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 1.4Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Plan are defined in Article 8 and elsewhere in this Plan.
ARTICLE 2—AWARDS
Section 2.1General. Any Award under the Plan may be granted singularly or in combination with another Award (or Awards). Each Award under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and such additional terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Committee shall provide with respect to such Award and as evidenced in the Award Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, an Award may be granted as an alternative to or replacement of an existing Award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including without limitation the plan of any entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary. The types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan include:
(a)Stock Options. A Stock Option means a grant under Section 2.2 that represents the right to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Any Stock Option may be either an Incentive Stock Option (an “ISO”) that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an “Incentive Stock Option” described in Code Section 422(b), or a Non-Qualified Stock Option (a “Non-Qualified Option”) that is not intended to be an ISO; provided, however, that no ISOs may be granted: (i) after the day immediately prior to the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date or the date the Plan is approved by the Board, whichever is earlier; or (ii) to a non-Employee. Unless otherwise specifically provided by its terms, any Stock Option granted to an Employee under this Plan shall be an ISO to the maximum extent permitted. Any ISO granted under this Plan that does not qualify as an ISO for any reason (whether at the time of grant or as the result of a subsequent event) shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Option. In addition, any ISO granted under this Plan may be unilaterally modified by the Committee to disqualify such Stock Option from ISO treatment such that it shall become a Non-Qualified Option; provided, however, that any such modification shall be ineffective if it causes the Award to be subject to Code Section 409A (unless, as modified, the Award complies with Code Section 409A).
(b)Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award means a grant of shares of Stock under Section 2.3 for no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, subject to a vesting schedule or the satisfaction of market conditions or performance conditions.
G-4
(c)Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit means a grant under Section 2.4 denominated in shares of Stock that is similar to a Restricted Stock Award except no shares of Stock are actually awarded on the date of grant of a Restricted Stock Unit. A Restricted Stock Unit is subject to a vesting schedule or the satisfaction of market conditions or performance conditions and shall be settled in shares of Stock, provided, however, that in the sole discretion of the Committee, determined at the time of settlement, a Restricted Stock Unit may be settled in cash based on the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s Stock multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units being settled.
(d)Performance Awards. A Performance Award means an Award under Section 2.5 that is granted and will vest upon the achievement of one or more specified performance measures set forth in Section 2.5. A Performance Award may or may not be intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 162(m).
Section 2.2Stock Options.
(a)Grant of Stock Options. Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall: (i) specify the number of Stock Options covered by the Award; (ii) specify the date of grant of the Stock Option; (iii) specify the vesting period or conditions to vesting; and (iv) contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service with the Company as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe.
(b)Terms and Conditions. A Stock Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee. In no event, however, shall a Stock Option expire later than ten (10) years after the date of its grant (or five (5) years with respect to ISOs granted to an Employee who is a 10% Stockholder). The “Exercise Price” of each Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Stock);provided, however, that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant if granted to a 10% Stockholder;provided further, that the Exercise Price may be higher or lower in the case of Stock Options granted or exchanged in replacement of existing Awards held by an Employee or Director of, or service provider to, an acquired entity. The payment of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option shall be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, by such other means as the Committee may from time to time permit, including: (i) by tendering, either actually or constructively by attestation, shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise; (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (iii) by a net settlement of the Stock Option, using a portion of the shares obtained on exercise in payment of the Exercise Price of the Stock Option (and if applicable, any minimum required tax withholding); (iv) by personal, certified or cashier’s check; (v) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (vi) by any combination thereof. The total number of shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, with cash-in-lieu paid by the Company, at its discretion, for the value of any fractional share.
Section 2.3Restricted Stock.
(a)Grant of Restricted Stock. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall: (i) specify the number of shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award; (ii) specify the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award; (iii) specify the vesting period; and (iv) contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service with the Company. All Restricted Stock Awards shall be in the form of issued and outstanding shares of Stock that, at the discretion of the Committee, shall be either: (x) registered in the name of the Participant and held by or on behalf of the Company, together with a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, pending the vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock; or (y) registered in the name of, and
G-5
delivered to, the Participant. In any event, the certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock Award shall at all times prior to the applicable vesting date bear the following legend:
The Stock evidenced hereby is subject to the terms of an Award Agreement with Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. dated [Date], made pursuant to the terms of the Sunshine Bancorp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, copies of which are on file at the executive offices of Sunshine Bancorp, Inc., and may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of such Plan and Award Agreement,
or such other restrictive legend as the Committee, in its discretion, may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may in its sole discretion issue Restricted Stock in any other approved format (e.g., electronically) in order to facilitate the paperless transfer of such Awards. In the event Restricted Stock is not issued in certificate form, the Company and the transfer agent shall maintain appropriate bookkeeping entries that evidence Participants’ ownership of such Awards. Restricted Stock that is not issued in certificate form shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Plan as certificated shares, including the restrictions on transferability and the provision of a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, until the satisfaction of the conditions to which the Restricted Stock Award is subject.
(b)Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)Dividends. Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Agreement, any cash dividends or distributions declared with respect to shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately distributed to the Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee determines otherwise, no dividends shall be distributed with respect to any Restricted Stock Awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions unless and until the Participant vests in such Restricted Stock Award. Based on the foregoing, if the distribution of cash dividends declared with respect to shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Awards are delayed, the cash dividends declared will be deferred and distributed to the Participants within two and one-half months following the date on which the Restricted Stock Award vests. Any stock dividends declared on shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the same restrictions and shall vest at the same time as the shares of Restricted Stock from which said dividends were derived.
(ii)Voting Rights. Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Agreement, a Participant shall have voting rights related to the unvested, non-forfeited Restricted Stock and such voting rights shall be exercised by the Participant in his or her discretion.
(iii)Tender Offers and Merger Elections. Each Participant to whom a Restricted Stock Award is granted shall have the right to respond, or to direct the response, with respect to the related shares of Restricted Stock, to any tender offer, exchange offer, cash/stock merger consideration election or other offer made to, or elections made by, the holders of shares of Stock. Such a direction for any such shares of Restricted Stock shall be given by proxy or ballot (if the Participant is the beneficial owner of the shares of Restricted Stock for voting purposes) or by completing and filing, with the inspector of elections, the trustee or such other person who shall be independent of the Company as the Committee shall designate in the direction (if the Participant is not such a beneficial owner), a written direction in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. If no such direction is given, then the shares of Restricted Stock shall not be tendered.
Section 2.4Restricted Stock Units.
(a)Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall: (i) specify the number of Restricted Stock Units covered by the Award; (ii) specify the
G-6
date of grant of the Restricted Stock Units; (iii) specify the vesting period or market conditions or performance conditions that must be satisfied in order to vest in the Award; and (iv) contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Services with the Company. Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be paid in shares of Stock, or in the sole discretion of the Committee determined at the time of settlement, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Stock.
(b)Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) A Restricted Stock Unit shall be similar to a Restricted Stock Award except that no shares of Stock are actually awarded to the recipient on the date of grant. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Restriction Period (defined below), the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other provisions, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s Service with the Company, as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Restricted Stock Unit granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Restricted Stock Unit, time-based restrictions and vesting following the attainment of performance measures set forth in Section 2.5(a) hereof, restrictions under applicable laws or under the requirements of any Exchange or market upon which such shares may be listed, or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed by the Company upon vesting of such Restricted Stock Units.
(ii) The Committee may, in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units, designate them as “qualified performance based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), in which event it shall condition the vesting thereof upon the attainment of one or more performance measures set forth in Section 2.5(a) hereof. Regardless of whether Restricted Stock Units are subject to the attainment of one or more performance measures, the Committee may also condition the vesting thereof upon the continued Service of the Participant. The conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of Restricted Stock Units (including without limitation any applicable performance measures) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as and when the Restricted Stock Units vest or, in the case of Restricted Stock Units subject to performance measures, after the Committee has determined that the performance goals have been satisfied.
(iii) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during the period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Restricted Stock Unit for which such Participant’s continued Service is required (the “Restriction Period”), and until the later of (A) the expiration of the Restriction Period and (B) the date the applicable performance measures (if any) are satisfied, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock Units.
(iv) A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. No dividends shall be paid on Restricted Stock Units. In the sole discretion of the Committee, exercised at the time of grant, Dividend Equivalent Rights may be paid on Restricted Stock Units. If a Restricted Stock Unit is intended to be qualified performance-based compensation in accordance with Code Section 162(m), payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights to the Award recipient will be conditioned on the satisfaction of the performance criteria. In such case, the Dividend Equivalent Right shall be paid at the same time as the shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit are distributed to the Participant.
Section 2.5Performance Awards. The vesting of any Restricted Stock Award or a Restricted Stock Unit that is intended to be performance-based compensation (also referred to as “Performance Awards”) shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more objective performance measures set forth in sub-section (a) below, as may be determined by the Committee. The grant of any Performance Award and the establishment of performance measures that are intended to be qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) shall be made during the period required under Code Section 162(m) and shall comply with all applicable requirements of that Code Section. At the discretion of the Committee, the vesting of any Stock
G-7
Option also may be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures, although such performance-based vesting is not necessary to satisfy the requirement of Code Section 162(m) with respect to Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the discretion of the Committee, Performance Awards that do not comply with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) may be granted to Covered Employees and/or to persons other than Covered Employees.
(a)Performance Measures. If intended to be qualified performance-based compensation pursuant to Code Section 162(m), such performance measures must be based on any one or more of the following:
(i) book value or tangible book value per share;
(ii) basic earnings per share;
(iii) basic cash earnings per share;
(iv) diluted earnings per share;
(v) diluted cash earnings per share;
(vi) return on equity;
(vii) net income or net income before taxes;
(viii) cash earnings;
(ix) net interest income;
(x) non-interest income;
(xi) non-interest expense to average assets ratio;
(xii) cash general and administrative expense to average assets ratio;
(xiii) efficiency ratio;
(xiv) cash efficiency ratio;
(xv) return on average assets;
(xvi) cash return on average assets;
(xvii) return on average stockholders’ equity;
(xviii) cash return on average stockholders’ equity;
(xix) return on average tangible stockholders’ equity;
(xx) cash return on average tangible stockholders’ equity;
(xxi) core earnings;
(xxii) operating income;
(xxiii) operating efficiency ratio;
(xxiv) net interest rate margin or net interest rate spread;
(xxv) growth in assets, loans, or deposits;
(xxvi) loan production volume;
(xxvii) non-performing loans;
(xxviii) cash flow;
(xxix) strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based upon meeting specified cost targets, business expansion goals, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures, or goals relating to capital raising and capital management; or
(xxx) any combination of the foregoing.
G-8
Performance measures may be based on the performance of the Company as a whole or on any one or more Subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a Subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan and may be considered as absolute measures or changes in measures. The terms of an Award may provide that partial achievement of performance measures may result in partial payment or vesting of the award or that the achievement of the performance measures may be measured over more than one period or fiscal year. In establishing any performance measures, the Committee may provide for the exclusion of the effects of the following items, to the extent the exclusion is set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement and identified in the audited financial statements of the Company, including footnotes, or in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s annual report or in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, if any, of the Company’s annual proxy statement: (i) extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring items of gain or loss; (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business; (iii) changes in tax or accounting principles, regulations or laws; or (iv) expenses incurred in connection with a merger, branch acquisition or similar transaction. To the extent not specifically excluded, such effects shall be included in any applicable performance measure.
(b)Adjustments. Pursuant to this Section 2.5, in certain circumstances the Committee may adjust performance measures;provided, however, no adjustment may be made with respect to an Award that is intended to be qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), except to the extent the Committee exercises such negative discretion as is permitted under applicable law for purposes of an exception under Code Section 162(m). Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conducts its business or other events or circumstances render current performance measures to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance measures, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate, provided that no Award intended to be subject to Code Section 162(m) is enhanced as a result of a modified performance measure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, performance measures relating to any Award hereunder will be modified, to the extent applicable, to reflect a change in the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger of the Company into another corporation, any separation of a corporation or any partial or complete liquidation by the Company or a Subsidiary. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the selected performance measures or applicable performance period are no longer appropriate, in which case, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust, change or eliminate the performance measures or change the applicable performance period; or (ii) cause to be made a cash payment to the Participant in an amount determined by the Committee.
(c)Treatment onRetirement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Performance Awards that are intended to be considered qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m) shall be granted under terms that will permit its accelerated vesting upon Retirement or other termination of Service (other than death or Disability) or a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the sole discretion of the Committee exercised at the time of grant of an Award under this Section 2.5, in the event of Retirement of a Participant during the performance period, the Award Agreement may provide for the vesting of all or a portion of such Award, so long as the vesting is not accelerated but shall occur at the end of the performance period, and will be prorated, based on the period of the Participant’s active employment and the level of achievement of the performance measures during the period of the Participant’s active employment.
Section 2.6Vesting of Awards. The Committee shall specify the vesting schedule or conditions of each Award. Unless the Committee specifies a different vesting schedule at the time of grant, Awards under the Plan shall be granted with a vesting rate not exceeding twenty percent (20%) per year, with the first installment vesting no earlier than the one year anniversary of the date of grant and succeeding installments vesting on the annual anniversaries thereafter. If the right to become vested in an Award under the Plan (including the right to exercise a Stock Option) is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of Service with the Company or its Subsidiaries, without achievement of performance measures or other performance objectives being required as
G-9
a condition of vesting, and without it being granted in lieu of, or in exchange for, other compensation, then the required period of Service for full vesting shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced in the Award Agreement (subject to acceleration of vesting, to the extent permitted by the Committee or set forth in the Award Agreement, in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability or a Change in Control).
Section 2.7Deferred Compensation. If any Award would be considered “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), the Committee reserves the absolute right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally amend the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, to maintain exemption from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A. Any amendment by the Committee to the Plan or an Award Agreement pursuant to this Section shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating Code Section 409A. A Participant’s acceptance of any Award under the Plan constitutes acknowledgement and consent to such rights of the Committee, without further consideration or action. Any discretionary authority retained by the Committee pursuant to the terms of this Plan or pursuant to an Award Agreement shall not be applicable to an Award which is determined to constitute Deferred Compensation, if such discretionary authority would contravene Code Section 409A.
Section 2.8Prohibition Against Option Repricing. Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4, and reductions of the Exercise Price approved by the Company’s stockholders, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the right or authority to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price of a Stock Option previously granted under the Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation (including cancellation in exchange for a cash payment in excess of the Stock Option’s in-the-money value or in exchange for Options or other Awards) or replacement grants, or other means.
Section 2.9.Effect of Termination of Service on Awards. The Committee shall establish the effect of a Termination of Service on the continuation of rights and benefits available under an Award and, in so doing, may make distinctions based upon, among other things, the cause of Termination of Service (including Retirement) and type of Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant or as set forth in an employment agreement or severance arrangement entered into by and between the Company and/or the Bank and an Employee, the following provisions shall apply to each Award granted under this Plan:
(a) Upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than due to Disability, death, Retirement or termination for Cause, Stock Options shall be exercisable only as to those shares that were immediately exercisable by such Participant at the date of termination, and Stock Options may be exercised only for a period of three (3) months following termination and any Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit that has not vested as of the date of Termination of Service shall expire and be forfeited.
(b) In the event of a Termination of Service for Cause, all Stock Options granted to a Participant that have not been exercised and all Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant that have not vested shall expire and be forfeited.
(c) Upon Termination of Service for reason of Disability or death, all Stock Options shall be exercisable as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not then exercisable, and all Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units shall vest as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not otherwise immediately vested, at the date of Termination of Service. Stock Options may be exercised for a period of one year following Termination of Service due to death or Disability or the remaining unexpired term of the Stock Option, if less;provided, however , that no Stock Option shall be eligible for treatment as an ISO in the event such Stock Option is exercised more than one year following Termination of Service due to Disability andprovided, further , in order to obtain ISO treatment for Stock Options exercised by heirs or devisees of an optionee, the optionee’s death must have occurred while employed or within three months of Termination of Service. In the event of Termination of Service due to Retirement, a Participant’s vested Stock Options shall be exercisable for one year following Termination of Service, provided that no Stock Option shall be eligible for
G-10
treatment as an ISO in the event such Stock Option is exercised more than three months following Termination of Service due to Retirement and any Stock Option, Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit that has not vested as of the date of Termination of Service shall expire and be forfeited.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Stock Option shall be exercisable beyond the last day of the original term of such Stock Option.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.9, the effect of a Change in Control on the vesting/exercisability of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units is as set forth in Article 4.
ARTICLE 3—SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN
Section 3.1Available Shares. The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued, currently held or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subsequently acquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
Section 3.2Share Limitations.
(a)Share Reserve. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 3.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to 592,480 shares of Stock. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options (all of which may be granted as ISOs) is 423,200 shares of Stock, which represents 10% of the number of shares of Company common stock sold in connection with the mutual-to-conversion of Sunshine State Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Conversion”). The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units is 169,280 shares of Stock, which represents 4% of the number shares of Company common stock sold in connection with the Conversion. The aggregate number of shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4.
(b)Computation of Shares Available. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the number of shares of Stock available for the grant of additional Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units shall be reduced by the number of shares of Stock previously granted, subject to the following: to the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award (including Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary for any reason, including because the Award is forfeited or canceled or because a Stock Option is not exercised, then such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. To the extent: (i) a Stock Option is exercised by using an actual or constructive exchange of shares of Stock to pay the Exercise Price; (ii) shares of Stock are withheld to satisfy withholding taxes upon exercise or vesting of an Award granted hereunder; or (iii) shares are withheld to satisfy the exercise price of Stock Options in a net settlement of Stock Options, then the number of shares of Stock available shall be reduced by the gross number of shares of Stock issued rather than by the net number of shares of Stock issued.
Section 3.3Individual Share Limitations.
(a)Stock Options to Employees. The maximum number of shares of Stock, in the aggregate, that may be subject to Stock Options granted to any one Employee pursuant to this Section 3.3 during any calendar year shall be 105,800, which is subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4.
(b)Stock Options—Non-Employee Directors. The maximum number of shares of Stock, in the aggregate, that may be subject to Stock Options granted to any one individual non-Employee Director under the Plan shall
G-11
be 21,160, all of which may be granted during any calendar year and, in addition, all non-Employee Directors, in the aggregate, may not receive more than 126,960, all of which may be granted during any calendar year. Such maximum amounts represent five percent (5%) and thirty percent (30%), respectively, of the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Stock Options under Section 3.2.
(c)Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units—Non-Employee Directors. The maximum number of shares of Stock, in the aggregate, that may be subject to Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units granted to any one individual non-Employee Director under the Plan shall be 8,464, all of which may be granted during any calendar year and, in addition, all non-Employee Directors, in the aggregate, may not receive more than 50,784, all of which may be granted during any calendar year. Such maximum amounts represent five percent (5%) and thirty percent (30%), respectively, of the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units.
(d) The aggregate number of shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards, including the limit on the number of Awards available for grant under this Plan described in this Section 3.3, shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4.
Section 3.4Corporate Transactions.
(a)General. In the event any recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Stock or other securities, stock dividend or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution (whether in the form of cash, securities or other property), liquidation, dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the shares of Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan and/or under any Award granted under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in an equitable manner, adjust any or all of: (i) the number and kind of securities deemed to be available thereafter for grants of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units in the aggregate to all Participants and individually to any one Participant; (ii) the number and kind of securities that may be delivered or deliverable in respect of outstanding Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units; and (iii) the Exercise Price of Stock Options. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units (including, without limitation, cancellation of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units in exchange for the in-the-money value, if any, of the vested portion thereof, or substitution or exchange of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units using stock of a successor or other entity) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any parent or Subsidiary or the financial statements of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any such adjustment to an Award intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” shall conform to the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder then in effect.
(b)Merger in which Company is Not Surviving Entity. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization (including, but not limited to, a Change in Control) in which the Company is not the surviving entity, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at any time at or after grant and prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization, any Stock Options granted under the Plan which remain outstanding shall be converted into Stock Options to purchase voting common equity securities of the business entity which survives such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization having substantially the same terms and conditions as the outstanding Stock Options under this Plan and reflecting the same economic benefit (as measured by the difference between the aggregate Exercise Price and the value exchanged for outstanding shares of Stock in such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization), all as determined by the Committee prior to the consummation of such merger; provided, however, that the Committee may, at any time prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other
G-12
business reorganization, direct that all, but not less than all, outstanding Stock Options be canceled as of the effective date of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization in exchange for a cash payment per share of Stock equal to the excess (if any) of the value exchanged for an outstanding share of Stock in such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization over the Exercise Price of the Stock Option being canceled.
Section 3.5Delivery of Shares. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:
(a)Compliance with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any Exchange or similar entity.
(b)Certificates. To the extent that the Plan provides for the issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any Exchange.

The Board may, as permitted by law, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and may amend any Award Agreement, provided that no amendment or termination (except as provided in Section 2.7, Section 3.4 and Section 6.2) may cause the Award to violate Code Section 409A, may cause the repricing of a Stock Option, or, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely impair the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board;provided, however, that, no amendment may: (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under

ARTICLE 7—GENERAL TERMS
Section 7.1No Implied Rights.
(a)No Rights to Specific Assets. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall by reason of participation in the Plan acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the shares of Stock or amounts, if any, payable or distributable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.
(b)No Contractual Right to Employment or Future Awards. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or service, and selection as a Participant will not give any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or provided services to, the Company or any Subsidiary or any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to receive a future Award under the Plan.
(c)No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Award Agreement, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.
Section 7.2Transferability. Except as otherwise so provided by the Committee, ISOs under the Plan are not transferable except: (i) as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) to a trust established by the Participant, if under Code Section 671 and applicable state law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Stock Option while held in trust; or (iii) between spouses incident to a divorce or pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, in the case of a transfer within the meaning of this subparagraph (iii), the Stock Option shall not qualify as an ISO as of the day of such transfer. The Committee shall have the discretion to permit the transfer of vested Stock Options (other than ISOs) under the Plan;provided, however, that such transfers shall be limited to Immediate Family Members of Participants, trusts and partnerships established for the primary benefit of such family members or to charitable organizations, and;provided, further, that such transfers are not made for consideration to the Participant.
G-16

A Restricted Stock Unit is not transferable, except in the event of death, prior to the time that the Restricted Stock Unit Award vests and is earned and the property in which the Restricted Stock Unit is denominated is distributed to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary.
Section 7.3Designation of Beneficiaries. A Participant hereunder may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries under this Plan and may from time to time revoke or amend any such designation (“Beneficiary Designation”). Any designation of beneficiary under this Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise (unless such disposition is pursuant to a domestic relations order);provided, however, that if the Committee is in doubt as to the entitlement of any such beneficiary to any Award, the Committee may determine to recognize only the legal representative of the Participant, in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone.
Section 7.4Non-Exclusivity. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units or Stock Options otherwise than under the Plan or an arrangement that is or is not intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
Section 7.5Award Agreement. Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Participant. A copy of the Award Agreement, in any medium chosen by the Committee, shall be provided (or made available electronically) to the Participant.

Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be filed with the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may, on the date of grant or at a later date, as applicable, prohibit an individual from making an election under Code Section 83(b). If the Committee has not prohibited an individual from making this election, an individual who makes this election shall notify the Committee of the election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service. This requirement is in addition to any filing and notification required under the regulations issued under the authority of Code Section 83(b).
Section 7.7Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information upon which the person is acting considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.
Section 7.8Tax Withholding. Where a Participant is entitled to receive shares of Stock upon the vesting or exercise of an Award, the Company shall have the right to require such Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such vesting or exercise, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a sufficient number of shares of Stock to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. To the extent determined by the Committee and specified in an Award Agreement, a Participant shall have the right to direct the Company to satisfy the minimum required federal, state and local tax withholding by: (i) with respect to a Stock Option, reducing the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option (without issuance of such shares of Stock to the Stock Option holder) by a number equal to the quotient of (a) the total minimum amount of required tax withholding divided by (b) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date over the Exercise Price per share of Stock; and (ii) with respect to Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units, withholding a number of shares (based on the Fair Market Value on the vesting date) otherwise vesting that would satisfy the minimum amount of required tax withholding. Provided there are no adverse accounting consequences to the Company (a requirement to have liability
G-17
classification of an award under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 is an adverse consequence), a Participant who is not required to have taxes withheld may require the Company to withhold in accordance with the preceding sentence as if the Award were subject to minimum tax withholding requirements.
Section 7.9Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the Board (including a committee of the Board) who are duly authorized to act for the Board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Company lists its securities) by a duly authorized officer of the Company or such Subsidiary.
Section 7.10Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business, stock, and/or assets of the Company.
Section 7.11Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s governing documents, each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 5.3, or an Employee of the Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss (including amounts paid in settlement), cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute or regulation. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. The foregoing right to indemnification shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, if required by applicable law, an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such persons to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
Section 7.12No Fractional Shares. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, no fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated by rounding down.
Section 7.13Governing Law. The Plan, all Awards granted hereunder, and all actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law.

The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events include, but are not limited to, termination of employment for cause, termination of the Participant’s provision of Services to the Company or any Subsidiary, violation of material Company or Subsidiary policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct of the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 7.18Automatic Exercise.

Payment of the exercise price and any applicable tax withholding requirements shall be made by a net settlement of the Stock Option whereby the number of shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise are reduced by a number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price and any applicable minimum tax withholding.
G-19
Section 7.19Regulatory Requirements. The grant and settlement of Awards under this Plan shall be conditioned upon and subject to compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1828(k), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(kk) “Termination of Service” means the first day occurring on or after a grant date on which the Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director (including a director emeritus or advisory director) of the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the reason for such cessation, subject to the following:
(i) The Participant’s cessation as an Employee shall not be deemed to occur by reason of the transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries.
(ii) The Participant’s cessation as an Employee shall not be deemed to occur by reason of the Participant’s being on a bona fide leave of absence from the Company or a Subsidiary approved by the Company or Subsidiary otherwise receiving the Participant’s Services, provided such leave of absence does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Employee retains a right to reemployment with the Company or Subsidiary under an applicable statute or by contract. For these purposes, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Employee will return to perform Services for the Company or Subsidiary. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Employee does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first day immediately following such six month period.

(iv) Except to the extent Section 409A of the Code may be applicable to an Award, and subject to the foregoing paragraphs of this sub-section, the Committee shall have discretion to determine if a Termination of Service has occurred and the date on which it occurred.

For purposes of this Plan, a “Separation from Service” shall have occurred if the Bank and Participant reasonably anticipate that no further Services will be performed by the Participant after the date of the Termination of Service (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) or the level of further Services performed will be less than 50% of the average level of bona fide Services in the 36 months immediately preceding the Termination of Service. If a Participant is a “Specified Employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A and any payment to be made hereunder shall be determined to be subject to Code Section 409A, then if required by Code Section 409A, such payment or a portion of such payment (to the minimum extent possible) shall be delayed and shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following Participant’s Separation from Service.
(v) With respect to a Participant who is a director, cessation as a Director will not be deemed to have occurred if the Participant continues as a director emeritus or advisory director.
