Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations
| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On January 26, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Florida Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Memorandum”) which represents an agreement between the Board and the Director of the Division of Financial Institutions, Florida Office of Financial Regulations (the “OFR”) whereby the Bank agreed that it will move in good faith to comply with the requirements of the Memorandum. The provisions of the Memorandum substantially patterned the Written Agreement between the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “FRB”) and the Company and the Bank, effective March 1, 2011 and filed by the Company as an exhibit to its Form 8-K on March 8, 2011. Nearly all of the provisions of the Memorandum have requirements that are not materially different from those in the Written Agreement. However, the individual provisions in the Memorandum and in the Written Agreement, which address a capital plan, differ in that the provision in the Written Agreement requires the Bank to submit a plan to maintain sufficient capital and be in compliance with Capital Adequacy Guidelines for State Member Banks: Risk-Based Measure and Tier 1 Leverage Measures (but does not specify a specific Tier 1 Leverage or Total Risk Based Capital Ratio). The capital provision in the Memorandum requires the Bank to submit a capital plan to the OFR that provides for raising and maintaining a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of not less than eight percent (8%) and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of not less than 12 percent, or submit a capital plan in accordance with the Written Agreement, which the Bank submitted to the FRB on March 1, 2011.
