On September 30, 2014, Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. was notified by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) that the formal agreement between Patriot National Bank (the “Bank”) and the OCC, dated February 9, 2009, has been terminated. This action was taken because the OCC no longer considers the Bank to be in “troubled condition”. We believe the decision to terminate the formal agreement was due to, among other things, the substantial improvement in the Bank’s asset quality, financial condition, earnings and regulatory capital position following the successful control recapitalization and turnaround plan of the Bank.
