FDIC Friday - For January 14th

[Copper Catcher]

Oglethorpe Bank Brunswick GA

As of September 30, 2010, Oglethorpe Bank had approximately $230.6 million in total assets and $212.7 million in total deposits. Bank of the Ozarks did not pay the FDIC a premium for the deposits of Oglethorpe Bank. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Bank of the Ozarks agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Bank of the Ozarks entered into a loss-share transaction on $173.9 million of Oglethorpe Bank's assets. Bank of the Ozarks will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-share transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers.

Oglethorpe Bank is the third FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in Georgia. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Chestatee State Bank, Dawsonville, on December 17, 2010.
