REGULATORY MATTERS AND CAPITAL
14. REGULATORY MATTERS AND CAPITAL

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on financial statements of the Company and the subsidiary bank. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Risk-Weighted Assets (as defined) and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to Average Assets (as defined) and Risk-Weighted Assets.

As of December 31, 2012, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Federal Reserve Bank”) categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Company and the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands):

On February 6, 2009, First Market Bank issued and sold to the Treasury 33,900 shares of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and a warrant to purchase up to 1,695 shares of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C. The Treasury immediately exercised the warrant for the entire 1,695 shares. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of FMB, the Company’s Board of Directors established a series of preferred stock with substantially identical preferences, rights and limitations to the First Market Bank preferred stock, except as explained below. Pursuant to the closing of the acquisition, each share of First Market Bank Series B and Series C preferred stock was exchanged for one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock of the Company paid cumulative dividends to the Treasury at a rate of 5.19% per annum. The 5.19% dividend rate is a blended rate comprised of the dividend rate of the 33,900 shares of First Market Bank 5% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and 1,695 shares of First Market Bank 9% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. The Series B Preferred Stock of the Company is non-voting and each share has a liquidation preference of $1,000. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company received approval from the Treasury and its regulators to redeem the Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury and assumed by the Company as part of the 2010 merger with FMB. On December 7, 2011, the Company paid approximately $35.7 million, from existing capital, to the Treasury in full redemption of the Preferred Stock.

In February 2012, the Company repurchased 335,649 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,363,437, or $13.00 per share. The repurchase was funded with cash on hand. The Company transferred 115,384 of the repurchased shares to its ESOP for $13.00 per share. The remaining 220,265 shares were retired. In December 2012, the Company repurchased and retired 750,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $11,580,000, or $15.44 per share. The repurchase was funded with cash on hand.
