Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On June 2, 2009, SCBT Financial Corporation (the “Company”) closed on the sale of 56,500 shares of its common stock at $23.00 per share to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), which partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase the additional shares. The overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 195,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was granted in connection with its recent initial public offering of 1.30 million shares of common stock.

 

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million from the sale of the additional 56,500 shares, net of additional underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters.  At the completion of the offering, after giving effect to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company has sold a total of approximately 1.36 million shares of common stock and raised approximately $29.1 million in net proceeds.

 

The offering of the common shares was made pursuant to a registration statement previously filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2009, and the related prospectus supplement filed on May 13, 2009. Copies of the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to this offering may be obtained without charge from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by contacting Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Equity Capital Markets, 787 Seventh Avenue, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10019, (800) 966-1559.

 

This filing does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
