Under the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase Program, qualifying financial institutions may request additional capital of up to 3% of risk-weighted assets.
The company has received preliminary approval to sell $50 million of preferred stock, accompanied by a 10-year warrant to purchase $7.5 million of BancTrust common stock, to the treasury.
The non-voting senior preferred shares to be issued to the treasury will pay a dividend of 5% annually for the first five years after issuance and 9% annually after the fifth year, if they are not redeemed. The 10-year warrant will allow the holder to purchase 730,994 shares of BancTrust common stock at an exercise price of $10.26 per share.
Participation in the program is subject to the Treasury Department's standard terms and conditions, and the sale of preferred shares and issuance of the warrant are subject to the completion and review of required documentation.
