LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- West Coast Bancorp (NASDAQ:WCBO) ("WCB" or the "Company") today announced that it has received capital investments with gross aggregate proceeds in the amount of $155.0 million, $134.2 million of which has been contributed to its wholly owned banking subsidiary, West Coast Bank. "The capital raise enhances West Coast Bank's capital position and increases its pro forma total risk-based capital ratio to 17.01%, considerably above the level required by bank regulators," said CEO and President Robert D. Sznewajs. "This capital raise will also strengthen our liquidity position and is an important reflection of the confidence that our new investors have in West Coast Bank, its management and business plan. Enhancing West Coast Bank's capital and liquidity positions has been a key priority over the past year as we continue to work through the challenges presented by the prolonged economic downturn in our market areas. Additionally, the capital raise will allow West Coast Bank to address future impacts of the weak economy and will support the borrowing needs of our communities during these tough economic times." The new, unaffiliated investors have been issued shares of Series A Mandatorily Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"). The unaffiliated investors include, among others, MFP Partners, L.P., a family investment partnership managed by Michael F. Price; Castle Creek Capital; and GF Financial, LLC. The Series A Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into common stock upon receipt of necessary shareholder approval. The Series B Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock will convert into common stock only following receipt of necessary shareholder approval and after being sold to unaffiliated third parties in a widely dispersed offering by its initial owner. The Company has agreed with the investors to promptly seek shareholder approval for the transactions, which is required, both to increase the authorized shares of common stock available for issuance, and under applicable NASDAQ listing rules. The Company intends to file a proxy statement with respect to these shareholder approvals as soon as practicable. As part of the transactions two of the investors are entitled to representation on the Board of Directors of West Coast Bancorp and West Coast Bank and two other investors are entitled to have board observers. In the event the investors exercise their rights and subject to receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, the Board expects to appoint the board representatives in the near future and will announce these appointments when made. In addition, the terms of the investments permit the Board of Directors of West Coast Bancorp, in its sole discretion, to conduct a rights offering of up to $10 million in the near future in which the new investors would not participate. The following table illustrates the pro forma impact of the capital investment on the risk-based capital ratios of West Coast Bancorp and West Coast Bank at September 30, 2009. September 30, 2009 Pro forma Prior to Post Conversion of conversion of preferred preferred stock to stock to common common Actual stock (1,2) stock (2) West Coast Bank Tier 1 capital ratio 9.49% 15.75% 15.75% Total capital ratio 10.75% 17.01% 17.01% Leverage ratio 7.64% 12.08% 12.08% West Coast Bancorp Tier 1 capital ratio 9.79% 9.79% 16.28% Total capital ratio 11.05% 11.05% 17.54% Leverage ratio 7.88% 7.88% 12.45% (1) Assumes $134.2 million capital contribution to the Bank and Series A and Series B preferred stock is not counted as capital at West Coast Bancorp prior to conversion of preferred stock to common stock. (2) Direct costs of private placement are based on best estimates. Terms of the West Coast Bancorp Private Placements include: -- West Coast Bancorp issued 1.43 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock, mandatorily convertible into an aggregate of 71.4 million shares of WCB common stock at a 50x conversion rate and effective conversion price per share of common stock of $2.00 upon obtaining the necessary shareholder approval. In addition, West Coast Bancorp issued 0.12 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 6.1 million shares of common stock at a 50x conversion rate and an effective conversion price per share of common stock of $2.00 upon obtaining the necessary shareholder approval and only after being sold in a widely dispersed offering to unaffiliated third-parties. -- The holders of the Preferred Stock will initially receive the dividends and other distributions, if any, as declared and paid by West Coast Bancorp to all holders of common stock; if shareholder approval is not obtained before March 1, 2010, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 15%. After shareholder approval, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will only be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions as declared and paid by West Coast Bancorp to all holders of common stock. -- As part of the transactions, certain investors received seven-year Class C Warrants exercisable for shares of Series B Preferred Stock mandatorily convertible into an aggregate of 12 million shares of WCB common stock, at an effective conversion price per share of common stock of $2.00 with conversion occurring after receipt of shareholder approval but only if sold to unaffiliated third parties in a widely dispersed offering. -- Also, as part of the transactions, all investors received seven-year warrants that will only become exercisable if shareholder approval is not obtained before March 1, 2010 with an exercise price of $0.50 per share of underlying common stock. For investors who acquired Series A Preferred Stock that represents 9.9% of WCB's common stock on an as-converted basis ("9.9% Investors") and bank holding company investors, these warrants ("Class D Warrants") will be exercisable for shares of Series B Preferred Stock that would be convertible into an aggregate of 6.1 million shares of WCB common. For other investors, the warrants ("Class B Warrants") will be exercisable for shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock that would be convertible into 5.9 million shares of WCB common stock. -- No investor will own, control or hold with the power to vote more than 9.9% of WCB's voting securities, on an as-converted/as-exercised basis for bank regulatory purposes. Additional details on the terms of the private placements will be described further in a forthcoming filing on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which may be accessed through http://www.sec.gov/. Neither the Federal Reserve System nor any other banking regulator has approved these securities or determined that they constitute Tier 1 capital or regulatory capital for West Coast Bancorp at the parent company level. West Coast Bank Announces Formal Regulatory Agreement: West Coast Bank today also announced that it had entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate Securities, its primary banking regulators. The agreement, termed a cease-and-desist order (the "Order"), requires that West Coast Bank, among other things, increase capital, maintain liquidity measurements, reduce problem assets, and strengthen certain operating procedures and policies. Among other requirements, West Coast Bank is required to maintain a Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio at least equal to or greater than 10%, a ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets at least equal to or greater than 12%. With the completed capital raise, West Coast Bank's pro forma capital ratios significantly exceed the requirements of the Order with respect to Tier 1 and total risk-based capital on September 30, 2009. Other actions already completed include meeting the liquidity ratios indicated in the Order, addressing certain operational matters referenced in the Order and ensuring future compliance. "The Board of Directors and Management have already adopted and implemented an aggressive plan to address the items identified in the regulatory agreement. With the capital investment, West Coast Bank has positioned itself for a solid, long-term future that is consistent with the strategic business plan and our commitment to the communities we serve," said Lloyd Ankeny, Chairman of the Board. Sznewajs added, "The Bank will continue to focus on its well-defined client value proposition and is confident in our existing strategic plan. As a community partner, we will continue to work together to serve our local economy. We will continue our 84-year heritage of exceptional customer service. Our new investors are committed to our existing strategic plan and the management team." The additional capital greatly enhances the safety and soundness of West Coast Bank, and, in addition, all West Coast Bank deposit accounts continue to be fully-insured to the highest limits permitted by the FDIC. West Coast Bank participates in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program which provides unlimited coverage of low-interest bearing NOW accounts and non-interest bearing checking accounts. It also provides the expanded $250,000 FDIC coverage for interest-bearing deposit accounts. West Coast Bancorp Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2009: In addition, West Coast Bancorp today announced financial third quarter 2009 financial results, including the following: -- A third quarter 2009 net loss of $12.4 million, after tax. -- A provision for credit losses of $20.3 million and net charge-offs of $18.8 million. As a result, the ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 2.20% at September 30, 2009, as compared to 2.01% at June 30, 2009. The Company expects the provision and net charge-offs to remain elevated for the remainder of the year. -- Total nonperforming assets of $208.6 million at September 30, 2009, essentially unchanged from $210.6 million at June 30, 2009. -- September 30, 2009 total loan and deposit balances of $1.8 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. -- The net interest margin declined to 3.14% in the most recent quarter, primarily due to the liquidity position invested in short-term, low yielding investments. -- At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $19 million in net deferred tax assets. The Company may be required to establish a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in future reporting periods. Such valuation allowance would result in a charge to tax expense and consequently reduce the Company's regulatory capital ratios. -- For additional financial information, please see the financial tables later in this release. Tax Benefit Preservation Plan Effective after the completion of the private placements, West Coast Bancorp adopted a tax benefit preservation plan designed to preserve its substantial tax assets. The plan is similar to tax benefit preservation plans adopted by many other public companies with significant tax attributes. The Company's ability to use the tax attributes would be substantially limited if there were an "ownership change" as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and related Treasury Regulations. In general, an ownership change would occur if "5-percent shareholders" as defined under Section 382, collectively increase their ownership in West Coast Bancorp by more than fifty percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The tax benefit preservation plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company experiences such an ownership change by discouraging any person or group from becoming a 5-percent shareholder and dissuading existing 5-percent shareholders from acquiring additional stock without prior approval of West Coast Bancorp's Board of Directors; such persons would experience significant dilution in their ownership interests. As part of implementing the plan, the Company declared a dividend to be distributed to shareholders of records as of November 2, 2009, of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock and fifty such rights for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock. These rights would only be activated (causing the dilution referred to above) if triggered under the plan. Additional details on the terms of the tax benefit preservation plan will be described further in the forthcoming filing on Form 8-K described above. Capital Raise Advisors Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. served as financial advisor and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz acted as legal advisor to the Company in connection with the transactions.
