Marine Bank & Trust Co. Completes $3.5 Million Private Placement
THE TRANSACTION
In March 2014, Marine Bank & Trust Co. ("Marine") successfully closed the final tranche of its Reg. D private placement offering, having raised $3.5 million through institutional and accredited retail investors which purchased 2,343,020 shares of Marine's newly issued common stock at $1.50 per share (the “Private Placement Offering”).
On November 26, 2013, concurrent with the Private Placement Offering, the Bank entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with bank investor Kenneth R. Lehman. As part of this Private Placement Offering, Mr. Lehman purchased 723,186 shares.
Net proceeds were used to recapitalize Marine, to support the ongoing growth of the bank, and comply with all regulatory capital ratios. Additionally, the offering was structured to preserve Marine's ability to recapture its deferred tax asset, which was in excess of $2.6 million at the time of the closing of the first tranche and was subsequently recaptured during the fourth quarter of 2013. On May 15, 2014, the FDIC terminated the formal regulatory order with Marine.
