Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

First Security Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has closed a private placement of 60,735,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) as part of the Recapitalization previously described by the Company in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 26, 2013.

On April 11, 2013, the Company issued 9,941,908 shares of Common Stock (the “Converted Shares”) to the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) in exchange for 33,000 shares of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “TARP Preferred Stock”), a warrant to purchase 82,363 shares of Common Stock (the “TARP Warrant”) previously held by Treasury and all accrued but unpaid Preferred Stock dividends. Immediately following the issuance of the Converted Shares to Treasury, Treasury sold the Converted Shares to certain investors at a price of $1.50 per share (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to TARP Securities Purchase Agreements between such investors, Treasury and the Company. Both the issuance and sale of the Converted Shares to Treasury and the sale of the Converted Shares to investors by Treasury were conducted in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

On April 12, 2013, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 50,793,092 shares of Common Stock to investors at the Purchase Price pursuant to Stock Purchase Agreements and Subscription Agreements between the Company and such investors in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

The foregoing summary of the documents relating to the Recapitalization are not complete and are qualified in their entirely by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which have been previously filed.


Caution about Forward-Looking Statements

Some of our statements contained in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and include statements about the Company's future growth and market position and the execution of its business plans. When we use words like “may,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “expect,” “project,” “predict,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions, you should consider them as identifying forward-looking statements, although we may use other phrasing. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on our beliefs and assumptions, and on the information available to us at the time that these disclosures were prepared.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may not be realized due to a variety of factors. There can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, other aspects of our recapitalization and recovery plans. Additional factors include, without limitation: the effects of future economic conditions, governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; the costs of evaluating possible acquisitions and the risks inherent in integrating acquisitions; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in the Company's market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, computer and the Internet; and, the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible loan losses. For details on these and other factors that could affect expectations, see the cautionary language included under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and other filings with the SEC.

Many of these risks are beyond our ability to control or predict, and you are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend to update or reissue any forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or other circumstances that may become known to the Company, and undertakes no obligation to provide any such updates.






All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this Note. Our actual results and condition may differ significantly from those we discuss in these forward-looking statements.
