AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE YARDVILLE NATIONAL BANK AND THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY |
Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 31, 2005, Registrant’s principal subsidiary, The Yardville National Bank (the “Bank”), entered into an agreement with its primary Federal banking regulator, The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).
The agreement sets forth certain understandings between the Bank and the OCC regarding its operations, including meeting and maintaining specified capital levels, obtaining prior approvals of dividend payments, and addressing other concerns identified in the OCC’s Report of Examination for the examination that commenced on January 3, 2005. The agreement encompasses activities initiated earlier this year by the Bank to strengthen its board and management supervision, and internal audit and risk management processes.
Under the agreement, the Bank will not be deemed to be “well capitalized” for certain regulatory purposes. Such capital category may not, however, accurately represent the Bank’s general financial condition or prospects. In addition, the Registrant will no longer be a “financial holding company” under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Registrant is not currently engaged in any activities for which it is required to be a financial holding company.
The Bank will continue its normal business and commercial lending activities, as well as continue to enhance its deposit growth through the Bank’s retail branching strategy.
The agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the agreement.
