III. Acquiring Financial Institution
All deposit accounts, excluding certain brokered deposits, have been transferred to Stonegate Bank, Fort Lauderdale, FL ("assuming institution") and will be available immediately. On Monday, August 3, 2009, the former Integrity Bank location will reopen as a branch of Stonegate Bank.
