(f)           All of the individuals who are members of the PL Capital Group are citizens of the United States.

 

Item 3.                   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In aggregate, the PL Capital Group owns 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired at an aggregate cost of $4,530,080.

 

From time to time, members of the PL Capital Group may purchase Common Stock on margin provided by BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (“BNP Paribas”) on such firms’ usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group.  Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin.  Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers.  As of the date of this filing, the Financial Edge Fund and Focused Fund both have margin loans from BNP Paribas secured by Common Stock.

 

The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Fund to acquire the 488,000 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $2,210,660.  Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.

 

 

The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Strategic to acquire the 204,000 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $924,140.  Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Strategic’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.

 

The amount of funds expended by Focused Fund to acquire the 94,000 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $425,840.  Such funds were provided from Focused Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.

 

The amount of funds expended by Goodbody/PL LP to acquire the 214,000 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $969,440.  Such funds were provided from Goodbody/PL LP’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.

 

Item 4.                    Purpose of Transaction

This is the PL Capital Group’s initial Schedule 13D filing.  In the aggregate, the PL Capital Group owns 6.4% of the Company’s Common Stock, based upon the Company’s outstanding shares as of May 1, 2015.

The PL Capital Group acquired the Common Stock because it believes the Common Stock is undervalued.  The PL Capital Group intends to discuss with the management of the Company what their short and long term plans are to grow the franchise and improve profitability, and then monitor their progress at implementing those plans over time.

 

Unless otherwise noted in this Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D.  Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.  Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock, although the PL Capital Group has no present intention of increasing PL Capital Group’s aggregate holdings above 9.999% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.

 

Item 5.                    Interest in Securities of the Company

The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, 15,509,061, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of May 1, 2015, in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 14, 2015.
