   WHEREAS, the Victory State Bank, Columbia, South Carolina ("Bank"), was notified that it was critically undercapitalized as of January 5, 1999; and
   WHEREAS, the FDIC has determined that no other action would better achieve the purposes of section 38 of the Act; and
   WHEREAS, in accordance with section 9(a)(ninth) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1819(a) (ninth), the FDIC has the authority to act as receiver; and

   WHEREAS, pursuant to section 11(c)(9) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(9), the Board, acting as an appropriate Federal Banking agency, after consultation with the appropriate State banking supervisor, may appoint the FDIC as sole receiver of any insured State nonmember bank (except a District bank), whenever the Board determines that one or more of the grounds specified in sections 11(c)(5)(K) and (L) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 1821(c)(5)K) and (L), exist with respect to such insured State nonmember bank (except a District bank) and that such appointment is necessary to carry out the purpose of section 38 of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1831o; and
   WHEREAS, pursuant to section 11(c)(10) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(10), the Board may appoint the FDIC as sole receiver of an insured depository institution, after consultation with the appropriate Federal Banking agency and the appropriate State supervisor (if any), if the Board determines that (i) one or more of the grounds specified in section 11(c)(5) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(5), exist with respect to the institution, and (ii) the appointment is necessary to reduce (a) the risk that the applicable deposit insurance fund would incur loss with respect to the insured depository institution, or (b) any loss that the applicable deposit insurance fund is expected to incur with respect to that institution; and

   WHEREAS, the Board hereby finds and determines, pursuant to sections 11(c)(9) and (10) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 1821(c)(9) and (10), that one or more of the grounds specified in subparagraphs (A) through (M) of section 11(c)(5) of the act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 1821(c)(5)(A) through (M), exist in that:

    (a) The Bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business within the meaning of section 11(c)(5)(C) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(5)(C); and
    (b) The Bank has incurred or is likely to incur losses, within the meaning of section 11(c)(5)(G) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(5)(G), that will deplete all or substantially all of its capital, and there is no reasonable prospect for the institution to become adequately capitalized (as defined in section 38(b)) without Federal assistance; and
    (c) The Bank is "undercapitalized" within the meaning of section 11(c)(5)(K) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(5)(K), and as defined in section 38(b) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1831o(b), and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDIC in Subpart B of Part 325 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations; and

   WHEREAS, the Board also determines and finds pursuant to section 11(c)(9) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(9), that the appointment of a receiver for the Bank is nec- {{5-31-99 p.C-4701}}essary to carry out the purpose of section 38 of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1831o, in that the appointment would ultimately result in the least possible long-term loss to the deposit insurance fund; and
   WHEREAS, the Board also determines and finds that, pursuant to section 11(c)(10) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(c)(10), and section 38 of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1831o, the appointment of the FDIC as the sole receiver of the Bank is necessary to reduce the risk that the deposit insurance fund will incur a loss with respect to the Bank, or to reduce any loss that the deposit insurance fund is expected to incur with respect to the Bank.
