As a branch of Ameris Bank, the Sparta office will be open and serving customers on Saturday, November 7, 2009, from 9:00 a.m. until noon. Both the Woodstock and Sparta offices will be open on Monday, November 9, 2009, during the bank's normal business hours. United Security Bank depositors will automatically become depositors of Ameris Bank, and deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC. With this acquisition, Ameris Bank will now operate 53 locations in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South Carolina.
Edwin W. Hortman, Jr., President & CEO of Ameris Bank commented, "With excitement we welcome United Security Bank's customers and employees to Ameris Bank. Customers can be assured that their deposits remain safe and are readily accessible. Since 1971, Ameris Bank has supported the financial needs of local communities, and we are excited to continue this tradition through loss-sharing arrangements with the FDIC."
As a result of this acquisition, Ameris Bank will be acquiring the assets and deposits of United Security Bank at a discount of $32,615,000. Ameris Bank will assume approximately $150 million in total deposits, and acquire $111 million in total loans and $12 million in other real estate (ORE). The loans being purchased are covered by a loss-share agreement which affords Ameris Bank significant loss protection for the next five years.
