Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
As previously reported on October 7, 2010, Palmetto Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a private placement of its common stock to CapGen Capital Group V LP, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P. and certain additional institutional investors (the “Institutional Investors”) and a limited number of other accredited or sophisticated investors in which the Company sold 39,975,980 shares of its common stock at $2.60 per share for gross proceeds of $103.9 million (the “Private Placement”).
As contemplated by the Private Placement and in accordance with the previously filed Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 25, 2010 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of June 8, 2010 and Amendment No. 2 dated as of September 22, 2010, the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the Company conducted a public offering of up to $10 million of shares of its common stock at $2.60 per share solely to the Company’s shareholders as of October 6, 2010 (the “Follow-On Offering”).
As previously reported, on January 3, 2011, the Company completed the Follow-On Offering pursuant to which the Company received and accepted $3.2 million of proceeds and issued 1,230,029 shares of its common stock to such shareholders. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, a number of shares equal to the number of shares not subscribed for in the Follow-On Offering (the “Excess Shares”) were made available to the Institutional Investors in a private placement (the “Institutional Shareholders Offering”). On January 28, 2011, the Company completed the Institutional Shareholders Offering pursuant to which the Institutional Investors subscribed to 2,616,124 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.60 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $6.8 million. In connection with the Institutional Shareholders Offering, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with each Institutional Investor participating in the Institutional Shareholders Offering, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Institutional Shareholders Offering was conducted in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Each of the participating Institutional Investors represented to the Company that it is an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise eligible to participate in the offering. The Excess Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
