Tri-County Financial Corporation Receives Capital
from Small Business Lending Fund
and Redeems TARP Preferred Stock
Waldorf, Maryland, September 23, 2011 — Tri-County Financial Corporation (OTCBB: TCFC) (the “Company’), the holding company for Community Bank of Tri-County (the “Bank”), today announced that the U.S. Department of Treasury has invested $20.0 million in the Company’s preferred stock under the Small Business Lending Fund (the “SBLF”). The SBLF is a voluntary program intended to encourage small business lending by providing capital to qualified community banks at favorable rates. The interest rate will fluctuate depending on the amount of growth in the Bank’s small business lending. The initial interest rate on the SBLF funds will be 1%.
The Company used $16.4 million of the proceeds from this investment to redeem all of the preferred stock that it sold to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program on December 19, 2008 as well as to pay any accrued but unpaid dividends. The remainder of the net proceeds were invested by the Company in the Bank as Tier 1 Capital.
“We are pleased to have paid back our TARP obligations and believe our participation in the Small Business Lending Fund will allow us continue to expand our lending operations by enhancing our ability to meet the credit needs of the small businesses and entrepreneurs in our community,” commented Michael L. Middleton, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
