 Item 1.01.           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective December 13, 2010, The Park Avenue Bank (“Park Avenue”), the wholly owned  subsidiary of PAB Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”) with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).  The Directive was issued due to the Bank’s “significantly undercapitalized” status as defined in section 208.43(b)(4) of Regulation H of the Federal Reserve Board, for purposes of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDI Act”).
 
The Directive acknowledges that the Bank submitted a capital restoration plan, dated October 29, 2010, which the Federal Reserve Board deemed acceptable pursuant to section 38(e)(2) of the FDI Act.
 
The Directive requires that within 90 days of the effective date of the Directive or such additional time as the Federal Reserve Board may permit, the Bank, in conjunction with the Company must (1) increase the Bank’s equity in an amount sufficient to make the Bank “adequately capitalized” as defined in section 208.432(b)(2) of Regulation H; (2) enter into and close a contract to be acquired by a depository institution holding company or combine with another insured depository institution; or (3) take other necessary measures to make the Bank “adequately capitalized.”
 
The Directive also (1) restricts the Bank from making any capital distribution, including the payment of dividends; and (2) requires prior written approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) and fulfillment of one of the requirements above, for the Bank to solicit and accept new deposit accounts or renew any time deposit bearing an interest rate that exceeds the prevailing effective rates on deposits of comparable amounts and maturities in the Bank’s market area.  Within 30 days of the effective date of the Directive, the Bank must submit an acceptable plan and timetable to the Reserve Bank for conforming the rates of interest paid on all existing non-time deposit accounts to the prevailing effective rates on deposits of comparable amounts in the Bank’s market area.

The Directive continues to requires the Company to comply with the provisions in the Federal Reserve Act regarding affiliate transactions and the provision of the FDI Act restricting compensation of certain executive officers and restricting asset growth, acquisitions and branching.

The Reserve Bank may, in its sole discretion, grant written extensions of time to the Bank to comply with any provision of the Directive.

The Bank’s deposits continue to be insured by the FDIC to the maximum limits allowed by law.
