(the “Bank”), announced today that it has repurchased $17 million of the outstanding $34 million of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, issued in February 2009 to the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant to the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program. The repurchase follows the Company’s recent common equity offering, in which the Company raised approximately $28.1 million after underwriting discounts and estimated expenses.    “Prior to the TARP investment during the height of our country’s credit crisis in 2008, The Bank of Kentucky successfully navigated through the tough times by sticking with our proven strategy of providing credit and core banking services to local businesses, organizations, individuals, and families,” stated Robert W. Zapp, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The TARP investment allowed us to continue on this path to grow the Company, maintain strong capital levels and remain profitable, even as we paid TARP dividends and weathered the greatest financial challenge in our history.”   “The success of our common stock offering last month and subsequent approval to repurchase a portion of the TARP investment is an important step towards a full exit from the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program. These strategic actions position us for continued growth and ultimately serve the interests of our clients and stockholders,” said Zapp.   The preferred stock repurchase price includes $17 million of the original investment amount plus approximately   $87 thousand of accrued and unpaid dividends. The preferred stock that the Company repurchased for $17 million has a carrying value of $16.8 million (net of a $215 thousand unaccreted discount). As a result of the repurchase, the Company will recognize the accretion of the remaining discount on the repurchased stock as of the date of repurchase. The additional accretion recognized at the date of repurchase will reduce net income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 by $215 thousand.   Following the repurchase, the U.S. Treasury will continue to own $17 million of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, as well as the warrant originally issued to the U.S. Treasury in February 2009, giving the U.S. Treasury the right to purchase up to 274,784 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $18.56 per share. The Company will continue to pay dividends on the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the U.S. Treasury until the Company completes its strategy to repurchase all of the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to regulatory approval.   About the Company The Company, a bank holding company with assets of approximately $1.510 billion, offers banking and related financial services to both individuals and business customers. The Bank operates 31 branch locations and 47 ATMs in the Northern Kentucky market.   Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this news release which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (the “Act”).
