Date of Report: July 21, 2011
Reporting Entity: Medallion Bank (subsidiary of Medallion Financial Corp.)
Key Financial Metrics and Transactions
This filing details a capital restructuring transaction involving the U.S. Department of the Treasury rather than standard operating financial results.
- SBLF Investment: Issued and sold 26,303 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $26.3 million.
- TARP Exit: Redeemed all $22.3 million of preferred stock outstanding under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
- Net Cash Proceeds: Received additional funds of approximately $3.95 million from the transaction.
- Dividend Rate: Initial dividend rate on Series E Preferred Stock is 1%.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the transition of government funding sources. The Bank exited the TARP Capital Purchase Program and entered the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) Program. This resulted in a net increase in capital of approximately $3.95 million and a reduction in the dividend obligation rate from the TARP rate to 1% for the new Series E stock.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company issued a press release on July 25, 2011, confirming the repurchase of TARP preferred stock and the new SBLF investment. The filing incorporates this press release by reference.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not explicitly detail new risks, though the transaction involves perpetual preferred stock with a 1% initial dividend rate, which represents a future cash flow obligation.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock, specifically the conditions under which the 1% dividend rate may increase.
