MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., Oct. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Community Central Bank
Corporation (Nasdaq:CCBD), the holding company for Community Central Bank, today
announced that it has sold $1.0 million of Series B cumulative convertible
perpetual preferred stock in a private transaction to local investors. Each
share of preferred stock has a ten year warrant which entitles the holder to
purchase twenty shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of
$5.00 per share.
David A. Widlak, President and CEO, commented, "In late December 2008 and early
January 2009 we successfully raised $3.5 million of additional capital through
the sale of our Series A preferred stock. Now we have raised an additional $1.0
million through the sale of our Series B preferred stock. We are appreciative of
our community's continued confidence in the financial strength and prospects of
Community Central Bank."
Dividends on the Series B preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears at a
rate of 5.00% per annum, if and when declared by the Company's Board of
Directors. Dividends on the Series B preferred shares are cumulative. The Series
B preferred shares are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder
at an initial conversion price per share of $8.00. On or after August 1, 2010,
the preferred stock will be subject to mandatory conversion into common stock
under certain circumstances.
The additional capital will enhance our capital ratios, which are already above
the regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks. The initial closing of
Series B preferred stock resulted in gross proceeds of $1.0 million. The Company
may hold subsequent closings and issue more Series B preferred stock, up to an
aggregate of $2.5 million, as additional subscriptions are received.
