First Resource Bank Announces FDIC Approval Of The Redemption Of Remaining 25% Of SBLF Preferred Stock

EXTON, Pa., Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- First Resource Bank (OTCQX: FRSB) announced that the FDIC has approved the redemption of the last 25% of the outstanding balance of its Small Business Lending Fund preferred stock. This $1.3 million redemption is subject to approval by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities but is expected to be completed prior to the dividend rate increase in mid-March.

President & CEO, Glenn B. Marshall stated, "We are very grateful to have been a part of the SBLF program and to have played a role in helping the economy strengthen after the most recent recession. During our time in the SBLF program we almost doubled the size of our loan portfolio and absent that capital that loan growth would not have been possible. Now is the right time to exit this program with the upcoming dividend rate increase from 1% to 9% and our common shareholders will benefit from the elimination of this preferred equity."
