FDIC-10-077b



The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is the appropriate Federal banking agency for The Palmetto Bank, Laurens,
South Carolina (“Bank”), under 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q). 
 The Bank, by and through its duly elected and acting Board
of Directors (“Board”), has executed a “Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order” (“STIPULATION”), dated June 8, 2010, that is accepted by the FDIC and the Commissioner of Banking (“Commissioner”)
on behalf of the State Board of Financial Institutions for the State of South Carolina (“State Board”). With the STIPULATION, the Bank has consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and
violations of law and/or regulation relating to asset quality, capital adequacy, earnings, management effectiveness, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk, to the issuance of this Consent Order (“ORDER”) by the FDIC and the State
Board. 
 Having determined that the requirements for issuance of an order under 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and S.C. Code Ann.
§ 34-1-60 have been satisfied, the FDIC and the State Board hereby order that: 
  

 1 








 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

1. (a) Effective immediately, the Board shall increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank, assuming full responsibility for the approval of
sound policies and objectives and for the supervision of all of the Bank’s activities, consistent with the role and expertise commonly expected for directors of banks of comparable size. The Board shall prepare in advance and follow a detailed
written agenda for each meeting, including consideration of the actions of any committees. Nothing in the foregoing sentences shall preclude the Board from considering matters other than those contained in the agenda. This participation shall
include meetings to be held no less frequently than monthly at which, at a minimum, the following areas shall be reviewed and approved: reports of income and expenses; new, overdue, renewal, insider, charged-off, and recovered loans; investment
activity; operating policies; and individual committee actions. Board minutes shall document these reviews and approvals, including the names of any dissenting directors. 

(b) Within 30 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall have in place a program that will provide for monitoring of the
Bank’s compliance with this ORDER. Following the adoption of the program, the Board shall review the Bank’s compliance with this ORDER and record its review in the minutes of each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Establishment of this
program does not in any way diminish the responsibility of the entire Board to ensure compliance with the provisions of this ORDER.

(b) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall develop and approve a written analysis and assessment of the
Bank’s management and staffing needs (“Management Plan”) for the purpose of providing qualified management for the Bank. The Management Plan shall be forwarded to the Regional Director of the FDIC’s Atlanta Regional Office

and practices, and restoration and maintenance of the Bank in a safe and sound condition; 

(v) a plan to recruit and hire any additional or replacement personnel with the requisite ability, experience and other qualifications to
fill those officer or staff member positions consistent with the needs identified in the Management Plan; and 
 (vi) an
organizational chart. 
 (c) During the life of this ORDER, the Bank shall notify the Supervisory Authorities, in writing, of
the resignation or termination of any of the Bank’s directors or senior executive officers. Prior to the addition of any individual to the Board or the employment of any individual as a senior executive officer, the Bank shall comply with the
requirements of section 32 of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1831i, and Subpart F of Part 303 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. §§ 303.100-303.104 and any State requirement for prior notification and approval. 

(d) While this ORDER is in effect, the Bank shall comply with the requirements of Part 359 of the FDIC’s Rules and Regulations, 12
C.F.R. Part 359. 
 CAPITAL 

3. (a) Within 120 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall achieve and maintain the following minimum capital levels as defined in Part
325 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 325, after establishing an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”): 
  

 4 








 (i) Tier 1 Capital at least equal to eight percent (8.0%) of total assets; and

 (ii) Total Risk-Based Capital at least equal to ten percent (10.0%) of total risk-weighted assets. 

(b) Within 30 days of the last day of each calendar quarter, the Bank shall determine, from its Reports of Condition and Income, its

the means and timing by which the Bank shall increase such ratios up to or in excess of the established minimums. 
 (c) Any
increase in Tier 1 Capital necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph 3(a) of this ORDER may be accomplished by the following: 

(i) sale of common stock; or 

(ii) sale of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; or 

(iii) direct contribution of cash by the Board, shareholders, and/or parent holding company; or 

(iv) any other means acceptable to the Supervisory Authorities; or 

(v) any combination of the above means. 

Any increase in Tier 1 Capital necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph 3(a) of this ORDER may not be accomplished through a deduction from the
Bank’s ALLL. 
 (d) If all or part of any necessary increase in Tier 1 Capital required by paragraph 3(a) of this ORDER is
accomplished by the sale of new securities, the Board shall forthwith take all necessary steps to adopt and implement a plan for the sale of such 

 

 5 








 
additional securities, including the voting of any shares owned or proxies held or controlled by them in favor of the plan. 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 the Federal securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan and, in any event, not less than fifteen
(15) days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the plan and any materials used in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC, Division of Supervision and Consumer Protection, Accounting and Securities Disclosure Section,
550 17th Street, N.W., Room F-6066, Washington, D.C. 20429
and the Commissioner of Banking, 1205 Pendleton Street, Suite 305, Columbia, S.C. 29201, for review. Any changes requested to be made in the plan or materials by the Supervisory Authorities shall be made prior to their dissemination. If the increase
in Tier 1 Capital is provided by the sale of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, then all terms and conditions of the issue, including but not limited to those terms and conditions relative to interest rate and convertibility factor, shall be
presented to the Supervisory Authorities for prior approval. 
 (e) In complying with the provisions of paragraph 3(a) of this
ORDER, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of the Bank’s securities, a written notice of any planned or existing development or other changes which are materially different from the information reflected in any offering
materials used in connection with the sale of Bank securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be 

 

 6 








 
furnished within ten (10) days from the date such material development or change was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every subscriber and/or purchaser of
the Bank’s securities who received or was tendered the information contained in the Bank’s original offering materials. 

(f) For the purposes of this ORDER, the terms “Tier 1 Capital” and “total assets” shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in Sections 325.2(t) and 325.2(v) of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. §§ 325.2(t) and 325.2(v). 

CHARGE-OFF 
 4.
(a) Within 10 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall eliminate from its books, by charge-off or collection, all assets or portions of assets classified “Loss” and 50 percent of those assets classified
“Doubtful” in the Joint Report of Examination dated October 26, 2009 (“Report”) that have not been previously collected or charged-off. (If an asset classified “Doubtful” is a loan or lease, the Bank may, in the
alternative, increase its ALLL by an amount equal to 50 percent of the loan or lease classified “Doubtful”). Elimination of any of these assets through proceeds of other loans made by the Bank is not considered collection for purposes of
this paragraph. 
 (b) Additionally, while this ORDER remains in effect, the Bank shall, within 30 days from the receipt of any
official Report of Examination of the Bank from the FDIC or the State Board, eliminate from its books, by collection, charge-off, or other proper entries, the remaining balance of any asset classified “Loss” and 50 percent of the those
classified “Doubtful” unless otherwise approved in writing by the Supervisory Authorities. 
  

 7 








 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES 

5. Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall review and update its policy to ensure the adequacy of the ALLL. For the purpose
of this determination, the adequacy of the ALLL shall be determined after the charge-off of all loans or other items classified “Loss.” The policy shall provide for a review of the ALLL at least once each calendar quarter. Said review
shall be completed in time to properly report the ALLL in the quarterly Reports of Condition and Income. The review shall focus on the results of the Bank’s internal loan review, loan and lease loss experience, trends of delinquent and
non-accrual loans, an estimate of potential loss exposure of significant credits, concentrations of credit, and present and prospective economic conditions. A deficiency in the ALLL shall be remedied in the calendar quarter it is discovered, prior
to submitting the Reports of Condition and Income, by a charge to current operating earnings. The minutes of the Board meeting at which such review is undertaken shall indicate the results of the review. The Bank’s policy for determining the
adequacy of the ALLL and its implementation shall be satisfactory to the Supervisory Authorities. 
 REDUCTION OF
CRITICIZED ASSETS 
 6. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall submit to the Supervisory Authorities,
for review and comment, a written plan to reduce the Bank’s risk exposure in relationships with assets in excess of $1,000,000 criticized as “Substandard”, “Doubtful”, or “Special Mention” in the Report. For
purposes of this paragraph, “reduce” means to collect, charge-off, or improve the quality of an asset so as to warrant its removal from adverse criticism by the Supervisory Authorities. Within 10

  

 8 








 
days from the receipt of any comment from the Supervisory Authorities, and after due consideration of any recommended changes, the Bank shall approve the plan, which approval shall be recorded in
the minutes of a Board meeting. Thereafter, the Bank shall implement and follow this plan. 
 (b) The written plan mandated by
this provision shall further require a reduction in the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” and “Doubtful” in the Report in accordance with the following schedule. For purposes of this paragraph,
“number of days” means number of days from the effective date of this ORDER. 
 (i) Within 180 days, a reduction of
twenty-five percent (25%) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful.” 
 (ii)
Within 360 days, a reduction of forty-five percent (45%) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful.” 

(iii) Within 540 days, a reduction of sixty-five percent (65%) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or
“Doubtful.” 
 (iv) Within 720 days, a reduction of seventy-five percent (75%) in the balance of assets classified
“Substandard” or “Doubtful.” 
 (c) The requirements of this paragraph are not to be construed as standards
for future operations of the Bank. Following compliance with the above reduction schedule, the Bank shall continue to reduce the total volume of adversely classified assets. 

REDUCTION OF OTHER REAL ESTATE ASSETS 

7. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall revise its policies and procedures for managing the Bank’s Adversely
Classified Other Real Estate Owned (“ORE”). At a minimum, the policy shall address: 
  

 9 








 (i) requirements for conducting periodic reviews, at least quarterly, of the ORE portfolio
by a committee appointed by the Board (“ORE Committee”); 
 (ii) requirements for establishing realistic and
comprehensive budgets for each parcel, including projections of the Bank’s carrying costs (e.g., maintenance, taxes, repairs, and insurance costs) and projections of the marketing costs; 

(iii) requirements for ordering independent appraisals of each parcel at the time of foreclosure and periodically thereafter (but no more
than 12 months from the date of the prior appraisal report); 
 (iv) requirements for determination by the ORE Committee that
each parcel of ORE is listed with a real estate broker or otherwise made widely available for sale within an appropriate timeframe and at a realistic selling price; 

(v) requirements for periodic progress reports from each real estate broker marketing the Bank’s ORE, including projected sales
timeframes, to the Bank; 
 (vi) requirements for detailed reports from the ORE Committee to the Board at least quarterly, which
include written documentation of the action taken to facilitate the timely sale of ORE; and 
 (vii) requirements for accounting,
documentation, resale terms, and action plans for the orderly liquidation of ORE from the Bank’s books. 
  

 10 








 (b) The Bank shall submit the policy to the Supervisory Authorities for review and comment.
Within 30 days from receipt of any comment from the Supervisory Authorities, and after due consideration of any recommended changes, the Board shall approve the policy, which approval shall be recorded in the Board minutes. Thereafter, the Bank
shall implement and fully comply with the policy. 
 NO ADDITIONAL CREDIT 

8. (a) As of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any
borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank that has been charged off or classified, in whole or in part, “Loss” or “Doubtful” and is uncollected. The requirements of this paragraph shall not prohibit the
Bank from renewing (after collection in cash of interest due from the borrower) any credit already extended to any borrower. 

(b) Additionally, as of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or
for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank that has been criticized, in whole or part, “Substandard” or “Special Mention” and is uncollected. 

(c) Paragraph 8(b) shall not apply if the Bank’s failure to extend further credit to a particular borrower would be detrimental to
the best interests of the Bank. Prior to the extending of any additional credit pursuant to this paragraph, either in the form of a renewal, extension, or further advance of funds, such additional credit shall be approved by a majority of the Board
or a designated committee thereof, who shall certify in writing as follows: 
  

 11 








 (i) why the failure of the Bank to extend such credit would be detrimental to the best
interests of the Bank; 
 (ii) that the Bank’s position would be improved thereby including an explanatory statement of how
the Bank’s position would be improved; and 
 (iii) that an appropriate workout plan has been developed and will be
implemented in conjunction with the additional credit to be extended. 
 (d) The signed certification shall be made a part of
the minutes of the Board or its designated committee and a copy of the signed certification shall be retained in the borrower’s credit file. 

REDUCE CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT 

9. Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to the Concentrations of Credit
discussed in the Report. Concentrations should be identified by product type, geographic distribution, underlying collateral or other asset groups, which are considered economically related and in the aggregate represent a large portion of the
Bank’s Tier 1 Capital. The Bank shall develop a written plan approved by its Board and acceptable to the Supervisory Authorities to systematically reduce any segment of the portfolio which the Supervisory Authorities deems to be an undue
concentration of credit in relation to the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital. At a minimum the plan must provide for written procedures for the ongoing measurement and monitoring of the concentrations of credit, and a limit on concentrations commensurate
with the Bank’s capital position, safe and sound banking practices, and the overall risk profile of the Bank. 
  

 12 








 LENDING AND COLLECTION POLICIES 

10. Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, and annually thereafter, the Board shall review the Bank’s loan policies and procedures
for adequacy and, based upon this review, shall make all appropriate revisions to the policies and procedures necessary to enhance the Bank’s lending functions and ensure their implementation. As required by this paragraph, the Bank’s loan
policies and procedures shall be revised to include, at a minimum, provisions that address and fully correct those criticisms found in the Report. 

INTERNAL LOAN REVIEW 

11. Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall adopt an effective internal loan review and grading system to provide for the
periodic review of the Bank’s loan portfolio in order to identify and categorize the Bank’s loans, and other extensions of credit which are carried on the Bank’s books as loans, on the basis of credit quality. Such system and its
implementation shall be satisfactory to the Supervisory Authorities as determined at their initial review and at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. At a minimum, the grading system shall provide for the following: 

(a) specification of standards and criteria for assessing the credit quality of the Bank’s loans; 

(b) application of loan grading standards and criteria to the Bank’s loan portfolio; 

(c) categorization of the Bank’s loans into groupings based on the varying degrees of credit and other risks that may be presented
under the applicable grading standards and criteria, but in no case, will a loan be assigned a rating higher than that 

 

 13 








 
assigned by examiners at the last examination of the Bank without prior written notification to the Supervisory Authorities; 

(d) assessment of the likelihood that each loan exhibiting credit and other risks will not be repaid according to its terms and
conditions; 
 (e) identification of any loan that is not in conformance with the Bank’s loan policy; 

(f) identification of any loan which presents any unsafe or unsound banking practice or condition or is otherwise in violation of any
applicable State or Federal law, regulation, or statement of policy; 
 (g) requirement of a written report to be made to the
Board and Audit Committee, not less than quarterly after the effective date of this ORDER. The report shall identify the status of those loans that exhibit credit and other risks under the applicable grading standards/criteria and the prospects for
full collection and/or strengthening of the quality of any such loans; and 
 (h) specific policies governing Bank charge-offs
of loans and underlying collateral taken to repay loans.

 14 








 (ii) the major areas in, and means by which the Bank will seek to improve the Bank’s
operating performance; 
 (iii) realistic and comprehensive budgets; 

(iv) a budget review process to monitor the income and expenses of the Bank to compare actual figures with budgetary projections;

 (v) the operating assumptions that form the basis for, and adequately support, major projected income and expense components;
and 
 (vi) coordination of the Bank’s loan, investment, and operating policies and budget and profit planning with the
funds management policy. 
 (b) Following the end of each calendar quarter, the Board shall evaluate the Bank’s actual
performance in relation to the plan required by this paragraph and shall record the results of the evaluation, and any actions taken by the Bank in the minutes of the Board meeting at which such evaluation is undertaken.
