Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) has notified Seacoast National Bank (the “Bank’), the sole bank subsidiary of Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida, that, effective September 19, 2013, the Bank is no longer subject to the Formal Written Agreement (the “Formal Agreement”) entered into on December 16, 2008. As reflected in the Formal Agreement, the OCC’s primary concern with the Bank was to address the safety and soundness concerns identified in the June 30, 2009 Report of Examination, as well as the applicable standards set forth in 12 C.F.R. §§ 3.10 and 3.11.
In addition, the OCC has notified the Bank that, effective September 19, 2013, it is no longer subject to the individual minimum capital ratios established for the Bank on December 9, 2009, which required the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 capital (to adjusted average assets) ratio of at least 8.50% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12.00%. The general regulatory minimums to be “well-capitalized” are a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 5.00%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.00% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.00%. These regulatory capital ratios for the Bank were 9.48%, 15.80% and 17.05%, respectively, as of June 30, 2013. Therefore, the Bank is well-capitalized for regulatory purposes.
