Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On May 30, 2012, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (“Seacoast” or the “Company”) completed its repurchase of the warrant to purchase 589,622.5 shares of Seacoast’s common stock issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) in December 2008. The Company repurchased the warrant for a total price of $55,000.

 

The repurchase had no impact on the Company’s results of operations as the repurchase price results in a reduction of the Company’s cash and an offsetting reduction in paid in capital.

 

On April 3, 2012, the Company announced that Treasury sold the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.10 per share, to other investors in a secondary public offering.
