Tuscaloosa Commerce Bank, Denham Springs, Louisiana ("Bank"), having been advised of its right to receive a NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE DIRECTIVE TO RESTORE AND MAINTAIN CAPITAL ("CAPITAL DIRECTIVE") detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices of operating with inadequate capital and operating with a significant volume of classified assets alleged to have been committed by the Bank and of its right to file a response thereto, under sections 325.4 and 325.6 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. §§ 325.4 and 325.6, and having waived those rights, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF A CAPITAL DIRECTIVE ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with counsel for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), dated April 6, 1990, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying the alleged charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices, the Bank consented to the issuance of a CAPITAL DIRECTIVE ISSUED PURSUANT TO 12 U.S.C. § 3907 ("CAPITAL DIRECTIVE").
The FDIC considered the matter and determined that the Bank had engaged in unsafe and unsound banking practices, as defined as section 325.4 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. § 325.4, by virtue of the fact that as of December 15, 1989, the Bank had a ratio of total capital to total assets, as those terms are defined in section 325.2 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. § 325.2. of 5.38 percent, and a ratio of primary capital to total assets, as those terms are defined in section 325.2 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. § 325.2, of 5.38 percent. The FDIC hereby issues this CAPITAL DIRECTIVE pursuant to the provisions of section 908 of the International Lending Supervision Act of 1983, 12 U.S.C. § 3907, and section 325.6 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. § 325.6
