Cease
and Desist Orders
On June
2, 2010, TierOne Corporation (the “Company”) consented
to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Company Cease and Desist
Order”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Company’s primary
federal regulator (the “OTS”). The
Company Cease and Desist Order requires the Company to adhere to the enhanced
management oversight restrictions required by the Supervisory Agreement that
TierOne Bank (the “Bank”) entered into
on January 15, 2009, which include, but are not limited to, restrictions on
paying dividends, incurring debt, engaging in transactions with affiliates, and
actions related to management and the board of directors. In
addition, the Company Cease and Desist Order provides that by July 15, 2010, the
Company will submit to the OTS a capital plan covering the period beginning with
the quarter ending June 30, 2010 through the quarter ending December 31, 2011,
which at a minimum needs to address, among other things, the establishment of a
minimum tangible capital ratio commensurate with the Company’s stand alone risk
profile; specific strategies for increasing and maintaining tangible equity
capital; operating strategies to achieve net income levels that will result in
profitability and adequate debt service without reliance on dividends from the
Bank; and specific plans to reduce the risks to the Company from its current
debt servicing requirements.
The
Company Cease and Desist Order became
effective June 3, 2010 and remains in effect until terminated, modified
or suspended by the OTS.
Also on
June 2, 2010, the Bank consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist
(the “Bank Cease and
Desist Order”) by the OTS, the Bank’s primary federal
regulator. Among other things, the Bank Cease and Desist Order
provides that:
|
|
•
|
By
June 30, 2010, the Bank shall develop an individual workout plan for each
adversely classified loan and loan designated special mention of $500,000
or more.
|
|
|
•
|
Effective
immediately, the Bank shall comply with its amended appraisal policy, and
by June 30, 2010 shall submit to the OTS a written plan for compliance
with the appraisal policy that requires a monthly appraisal tracking
report.
|
|
|
•
|
By
June 30, 2010, the Bank shall revise its written policy for identifying,
monitoring, and controlling risks associated with concentration of credit
to ensure that it addresses all corrective actions set forth in the OTS
Report of Examination of the Bank dated October 5,
2009.
|
The Bank
Cease and Desist Order became
effective June 3, 2010 and remains in effect until terminated, modified
or suspended by the OTS.
Any
material failure by the Company and the Bank to comply with the provisions of
the Company Cease and Desist Order and/or the Bank Cease and Desist Order could
result in further enforcement actions by the OTS. There can be no
assurance that the Company or the Bank will be able to comply fully with the
orders, or that efforts to comply with the orders will not have adverse effects
on the operations and financial condition of the Company and/or the
Bank.
A copy of
the Company Cease and Desist Order and the Bank Cease and Desist Order are
included as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated
herein by reference. The description of the Company Cease and Desist
Order and the Bank Cease and Desist Order set forth above does not purport to be
complete, and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Company Cease
and Desist Order and the Bank Cease and Desist Order, respectively.
