United American Bank Closes Third Stock Offering – Very strong capital and liquidity position
United American Bank announced the successful completion of its third stock offering initiative which has added $5.3 million of additional capital. The additional capital resulted from the sale of 334,540 shares of common stock at an offering price of $16.00 per share and which was commenced and closed during the second quarter of 2008.
“We are quite pleased with the success of our third offering in these challenging economic times,” said John Schrup, President and CEO of United American Bank. “This additional capital will provide immediate liquidity reserves and will allow the Bank to continue to grow and serve the community in the future.”
“We have experienced no unusual deposit activity this week which has been full of negative banking reports in the news,” said Mr. Schrup. “Our business plan has excluded high risk mortgage loans and mortgage backed investments, and accordingly we have a much stronger balance sheet as a result of that strategic decision. Further, the bank has contingency liquidity in excess of $50 million to further augment our financial strength.”
Mr. Schrup commented that “our earnings have been impacted by the dramatic and rapid decline in the interest rate environment, however we believe our balance sheet to be solid and that our earnings will recover.”
