Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 8, 2016, pursuant to that certain Real Estate Sales Agreement by and between First US Bank (“FUSB”), a subsidiary of United Security Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), as Buyer, and Pump House Land Partners, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company, as Seller (the “Seller”), as originally entered into on April 20, 2015 and subsequently amended on May 26, 2015, August 25, 2015, September 17, 2015 and October 17, 2015 (together, the “Agreement”), FUSB, through its counsel, notified the Seller in writing of FUSB’s completion and approval of the Due Diligence Review, which ended the Due Diligence Period (as such terms are defined in the Agreement), and FUSB’s election to proceed to closing on the purchase of certain unimproved land totaling approximately 2.92 acres located along U.S. Highway 280 in Unincorporated Jefferson County, Alabama (the “Property”) for a total purchase price of $2,950,000 (the “Purchase Price”). FUSB simultaneously made a $200,000 non-refundable deposit payment required by the Agreement (the “Non-Refundable Deposit”). The Non-Refundable Deposit, in addition to certain previously paid earnest money deposits totaling $55,000 made in connection with extensions of the Due Diligence Period, will be applied to reduce the amount of the Purchase Price payable by FUSB to the Seller at closing.

The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary of real estate purchase and sale agreements. FUSB entered into the transaction in furtherance of its banking activities and the Company’s growth and expansion strategy. The intended use of the Property is to develop an office complex that will house FUSB’s commercial lending team in the Birmingham area and provide offices for certain of the Company’s and FUSB’s executive management team. In addition, FUSB intends to operate a retail bank branch from the location. The office complex is estimated to include approximately 40,000 square feet of usable space, of which FUSB expects to utilize approximately 25%, with the remaining space to be leased to other commercial tenants.

The Agreement stipulates that the closing of the transaction will take place within 30 days of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. The balance of the Purchase Price owed by FUSB at closing is expected to be funded from FUSB’s interest-bearing cash accounts.

Copies of the Agreement and all amendments thereto are attached as Exhibits 10.1A-10.1E to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1A-10.1E.
