Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On February 19, 2010, Marco Community Bank (the “Bank”), the principal operating subsidiary of Marco Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) was appointed as receiver of the Bank.

As indicated in the FDIC press release dated February 19, 2010, subsequent to the closure, Mutual of Omaha Bank, Omaha, Nebraska (“Mutual of Omaha”), assumed all of the deposits of the Bank, and purchased essentially all of the Bank’s assets in a transaction facilitated by the FDIC.

Beginning on February 20, 2010, the one office of the Bank reopened as a branch of Mutual of Omaha. Customers who have questions about the foregoing matters, or who would like information about the closure of the Bank, may visit the FDIC’s web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/marco.html or call the FDIC toll-free at 1.800.822.9247.

The Company’s principal asset is the capital stock that it owns in the Bank, and, as a result of the closure of the Bank, the Company has minimal remaining tangible assets. As the owner of all of the capital stock of the Bank, the Company would be entitled to the net recoveries, if any, following the liquidation or sale of the Bank or its assets by the FDIC. However, at this time, the Company does not believe that any recovery will be realized.

The Company is exploring methods of winding down its operations. Any ultimate distribution of assets will occur in accordance with Florida law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the terms of the Company’s outstanding series of Preferred Stock.

 

ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Also on February 21, 2020, Laura Witty resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On February 24, 2010, the Company appointed Timothy L. Truesdell as its Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Truesdell, age 58, is the President of Timothy Truesdell Investments a private investment and consulting firm with offices in Marco Island, Florida. Prior to founding his firm in 2004, Mr. Truesdell was the portfolio manager and executive assistant of the Kamm Family Office in South Bend, Indiana and the director of development research at the University of Notre Dame. Mr. Truesdell is a Knight of Malta, the highest honor awarded for service to the Roman Catholic Church and was invested in the lay/religious organization by the late John Cardinal O’Hara in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York in 1992. Mr. Truesdell’s leadership positions have included president of Fernwood Botanical Garden, president of St. Mary’s School Board of Education and chair of the finance, investment and public works committees of the Niles, Michigan City Council to which he was elected. Mr. Truesdell received his BA from the University of Notre Dame in 1974.
