Endeavor Bank Announces Formation of Holding Company

Endeavor Bank (“Bank”) (OTC Pink: EDVR) announced today that Endeavor Bancorp (“Bancorp”) became its holding company following shareholder and regulatory approval.

As previously announced, Bancorp had been formed as a subsidiary of the Bank, and in March Bancorp successfully issued $15,000,000 in subordinated debt in an institutional private placement. The completion of the reorganization of Bancorp to become the holding company for the Bank carries out the previously announced Bank plan; the Bank is released from its guaranty of the subordinated debt; and the funds raised in the subordinated debt placement will be used for general corporate purposes.

As a result of Bancorp becoming the holding company for the Bank, each share of common stock of the Bank is converted into one share of Bancorp. Shares of Bancorp will trade under the ticker symbol “EDVR,” which is the same ticker symbol under which the Bank’s shares were traded, on the OTC Pink. Shareholders are not required to take any action to convert their shares of the Bank into shares of Bancorp.

CEO Dan Yates commented, “The Bank is currently well capitalized, and as Endeavor Bancorp has become our bank holding company, the sub-debt will help us to remain well capitalized as we continue to implement our growth strategy. Also, future advantages of having a holding company include additional flexibility in expansion of our business through the acquisition of other financial institutions, the establishment of new subsidiary banks in other markets, the ability to more easily repurchase securities, and added flexibility in acquiring or establishing other businesses related to banking, all of which actions are subject to applicable regulatory requirements. Bancorp does not presently have any acquisition or other plans, but we want to be in a position to take advantage of strategic opportunities when they present themselves.”
