INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 6 to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by First Community Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13E-3 thereunder.
Introduction
This Amendment No. 6 (the “Final Amendment”) to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Transaction Statement”) is being filed pursuant to Rule 13E-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of the Transaction Statement.
ITEM 15. Additional Information.
This Final Amendment reports the consummation of the transactions described in the definitive Schedule 14A Proxy Statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2007 (the “Proxy Statement”) and voted on by the Company’s shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on February 23, 2007. The reclassification transaction (summarized below), as described in the Proxy Statement, was approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the record date. As a result, an amendment to the Company’s charter was duly adopted by the shareholders and filed with the Tennessee Secretary of State on February 23, 2007.
The charter amendment adopted by the shareholders authorizes the issuance of the Series A preferred stock and the Series B preferred stock. The charter amendment will also cause certain of the shares of common stock to be reclassified as preferred stock. Generally, the reclassification will have the following effect: (1) Shareholders who currently own 1,500 or more shares of common stock will continue to own the same number of shares of common stock; (2) shareholders who own 300 to 1,499 shares of common stock will have their shares reclassified as the same number of shares of Series A preferred stock; and (3) shareholders who own fewer than 300 shares will have their shares reclassified as the same number of shares of Series B preferred stock.
As a result of the charter amendment the number of shareholders of record of common stock has been reduced to less than 300, and fewer than 500 shareholders hold shares of each series of preferred stock, all of which has allowed the Company to terminate its reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission. On February 23, 2007, the Company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide notice of termination of registration of the Company’s common stock and certain common stock purchase rights (described in the Company's Form 8-A filed with the SEC on May 23, 2000) that are associated therewith.
