   [.1] 1. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the Bank shall file a revised capital restoration plan within thirty days of the effective date of this Directive. The Bank's revised capital restoration plan shall specifically address the items determined by the FDIC, pursuant to section 38(e)(2)(C) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1831o(e)(2)(C), to be unacceptable in the Bank's original, first submitted and revised capital restoration plan and not in compliance with section 38(e)(2)(B) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1831o(e)(2)(B).

   [.2] 2. FURTHER DIRECTED, pursuant to subsections 38(f)(2)(A)(i) and 38(f)(3)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1831o(f)(2)(A)(i) and (f)(3)(A), that within 60 days of the effective date of this DIRECTIVE, the Bank shall increase its Tier 1 capital by not less than $7,000,000 and shall achieve and maintain a leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of not less than 6.0 percent.
   3. FURTHER DIRECTED, that the required increase in Tier 1 capital and any increase in Tier 1 capital necessary to achieve and maintain the leverage ratio required by this DIRECTIVE may be accomplished by the following:

       i. The sale of new securities in the form of common stock or noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; or
       ii. The direct contribution of cash by the directors and/or shareholders of the Bank; or
       iii. The direct contribution of cash by the Bank's parent holding company; or

Should the implementation of the plan involve a public distribution of the Bank's securities (including a distribution limited only to the Bank's existing shareholders), the Bank shall prepare offering materials fully describing the securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and any other material disclosures necessary to comply with Federal securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan, and in any event, not less than 20 days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the plan and any {{9-30-93 p.C-3336}}materials used in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC, Registration and Disclosure Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20429, for review. Any changes requested to be made in the plan or the materials by the FDIC shall be made prior to their dissemination.

   (b) In complying with the provisions of this DIRECTIVE and until such time as any such public offering is terminated, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of the Bank's securities written notice of any planned or existing development or other change which is materially different from the information reflected in any offering materials used in connection with the sale of the Bank's securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be furnished within 10 days after the date such material development or change was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every purchaser and/or subscriber who received or was tendered the information contained in the Bank's original offering materials.
