PBI Bank (“Bank”), Louisville, Kentucky, having been advised of its right to a NOTICE OF CHARGES AND OF HEARING detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law, rule, or regulation alleged to have been committed by the Bank, and of its right to a hearing on the charges under section 8(b) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“Act”), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b), and under section 286.3- 690 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. Section 286.3-690 (Michie 2006), regarding hearings before the Department of Financial Institutions for the Commonwealth of Kentucky (“KDFI”), and having waived those rights, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF A CONSENT ORDER (“STIPULATION”) with representatives of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the KDFI, dated __________, 2012, whereby, solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices, and without admitting or denying any violations of law, rule, or regulation, the Bank has consented to the issuance of this CONSENT ORDER (“ORDER”) by the FDIC and the KDFI.

 

The FDIC and the KDFI considered the matter and determined to accept the STIPULATION.

 

Having also determined that the requirements for issuance of an order under 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and section 286.3-690 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 286.3-690 (Michie 2010), have been satisfied, the FDIC and KDFI HEREBY ORDER that the Bank, its institution-affiliated parties, as that term is defined in section 3(u) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1813(u), and its successors and assigns take affirmative action as follows:

 

 

1.             (a)           As of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall have and maintain its level of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of its total assets (“capital ratio”) at a minimum of nine percent (9.0%) and its level of qualifying total capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets (“total risk based capital ratio”) at a minimum of twelve percent (12.0%). For purposes of this ORDER, Tier 1 capital, qualifying total capital, total assets, and risk-weighted assets shall be calculated in accordance with Part 325 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations (“Part 325”), 12 C.F.R. Part 325.

 

(b)           While this ORDER is in effect, if either ratio is less than the required minimum required by paragraph (a) above, the Bank shall immediately notify the Supervisory Authorities and within 30 days shall: (1) increase capital in an amount sufficient to comply with paragraph (a), or (2) submit a written plan to the Regional Director of the FDIC Chicago Regional Office (“Regional Director”) and the Commissioner of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Department of Financial Institutions (“Commissioner”) describing the primary means and timing by which the Bank shall increase its capital ratios up to or in excess of the minimum requirements set forth above, as well as contingency plans. Within 10 days of receipt of any comments from the Regional Director or Commissioner, and after consideration of all comments, the Bank’s board of directors (“Board”) shall approve the written plan, and record such approval in its minutes. Thereafter, the Bank shall implement and fully comply with the written plan.

 

 

(c)           Any increase in regulatory capital may be accomplished by the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(d)          If, while this ORDER is in effect, the Bank increases capital by the sale of new securities, the Board shall adopt and implement a plan for the sale of such additional securities, including the voting of any shares owned or proxies held by or controlled by them in favor of said plan. Should the implementation of the plan involve public distribution of Bank securities, including a distribution limited only to the Bank’s existing shareholders, the Bank shall prepare detailed offering materials fully describing the securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and other material disclosures necessary to comply with Federal and state securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan and, in any event, not less than 20 days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the materials used in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC Registration and Disclosure Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20429 and to the Commissioner for their review. Any changes requested to be made in the materials by the FDIC or the KDFI shall be made prior to their dissemination.

 

(e)           In complying with the provisions of this paragraph, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of Bank securities written notice of any planned or existing development or other changes which are materially different from the information reflected in any offering materials used in connection with the sale of Bank securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be furnished within 10 calendar days of the date any material development or change was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every purchaser and/or subscriber of the Bank’s original offering materials.

 

 

(f)           The capital ratio analysis required by this paragraph shall not negate the responsibility of the Bank and its Board for maintaining throughout the year an adequate level of capital protection for the kind, quality, and degree of market depreciation of assets held by the Bank.

 

(g)           Should the Bank be unable to maintain the required capital levels specified in subparagraph (a) above, then within thirty (30) days of receipt of written direction from the Regional Director and the KDFI, the Bank shall develop, adopt, and implement a written plan to sell or merge itself into another federally insured financial institution or otherwise immediately obtain a sufficient capital investment into the Bank to fully meet the capital requirements of this paragraph. A copy of the plan required by this paragraph shall be submitted to, and determined to be acceptable by, the Regional Director and the KDFI.

 

 

2.             (a)           Within 45 days from the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall adopt and implement a written plan to reduce the Bank’s risk position in each asset in excess of $1,000,000, which is classified as “Substandard” in the Joint Report of Examination as of January 30, 2012. Such plan shall be used to reduce the Bank’s risk position in such assets revealed in subsequent examinations or visitations. A copy of the written plan shall be submitted to the Regional Director and the Commissioner upon its completion. In developing such plan, the Bank shall, at a minimum:

(b)           Such plan shall include, but not be limited to:

 

 

 

(c)           As used in this paragraph, “reduce” means to: (1) collect; (2) charge off; (3) sell; or (4) improve the quality of such assets as to warrant removal of any adverse classification by the FDIC and KDFI.

 

 

3.             (a)            Prior to submission or publication of all Reports of Condition and Income required by the FDIC after the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall review the adequacy of the Bank’s ALLL, provide for an adequate ALLL, and accurately report the same. The minutes of the Board meeting at which such review is undertaken shall indicate the findings of the review, the amount of increase in the ALLL recommended, if any, and the basis for determination of the amount of ALLL provided. In making these determinations, the Board shall consider the FFIEC Instructions for the Reports of Condition and Income and any analysis of the Bank’s ALLL provided by the FDIC or KDFI.

If only the loan committee adopts the written statement, it must also be presented to the Board and reflected in the Board’s meeting minutes. A copy of the statement shallbe placed in the appropriate loan file and shall be incorporated in the minutes of the applicable Board meeting.
