OSB Community Bank has Completed a $5.461 million Offering of Common Stock Through a Private Placement

In January 2016, OSB Community Bank’s ("OSB" or the "Bank") Board of Directors appointed Richard (“Rick”) Northrup, former Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of the former Ann Arbor, MI based United Bancorp, Inc. (and its banking subsidiary United Bank & Trust), to serve as President and CEO of the Bank, and become a member of the Board of Directors.  As a part of Mr. Northrup’s hiring, he was tasked with embarking on a capital offering to recapitalize the Bank to satisfy certain requirements in its Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the State of Michigan DIFS and provide the Bank with additional growth capital. 

On January 6, 2017, OSB announced that on December 23, 2016 it had closed the issuance of 546,166 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $5.5 million.  Institutional and high net worth individual investors acquired the shares in the offering.  The proceeds of the offering will be used to recapitalize the Bank and address the capital concerns raised in the Written Agreement, to support OSB’s growth into Ann Arbor, MI and Washtenaw County, and for other corporate purposes.

As a part of Rick’s employment contract, he had the ability to request that OSB’s Board name two new directors, one of which is the former President and CEO of United Bancorp, Inc., Robert Chapman, the other was local CPA, Donna Baker.  Both directors received the necessary regulatory approvals and have joined the Board.  Additionally, the Bank will be nominating four prominent investors from the offering to the Board of Directors for election at the 2017 annual meeting.
