ITEM 8.01 - OTHER EVENTS

On May 29, 2013, Suffolk Bancorp’s (the “Company”) principal subsidiary, The Suffolk County National Bank (the “Bank”), was informed by its primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), that the formal written agreement between the Bank and the OCC, dated October 25, 2010 (the “Agreement”), was terminated effective immediately.  The Agreement had required the Bank to take certain actions, including a review of management, the establishment of a three-year strategic plan and capital program, and the establishment of programs related to internal audit, maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan losses, real property appraisal, credit risk management, credit concentrations, Bank Secrecy Act compliance and information technology. In addition, the Bank was informed by the OCC that it was no longer subject to the individual minimum capital ratios (the “IMCRs”) established by the OCC for the Bank. At March 31, 2013, the Bank was considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.77%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.28% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.53%. The Bank exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements to be considered “well capitalized” of 5.00% for the Tier 1 leverage ratio, 6.00% for the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and 10.00% for the total risk-based capital ratio.
 
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is the Company’s press release titled, “Suffolk Bancorp Announces Termination of Formal Agreement With Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,” dated June 3, 2013.
