ITEM 1.02 TERMINATION OF MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On December 2, 2014, the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") announced the termination, effective retroactively as of November 19, 2014, of the Consent Order entered into by and between United Security Bancshares, a California corporation (“Bancshares”), its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, United Security Bank (the "Bank"), a California state-chartered bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, dated March 23, 2010. The Consent Order was replaced with an informal supervisory agreement that requires, among other things, obtaining written approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco prior to payment of dividends from the Bank to Bancshares or the payment of dividends by Bancshares or interest on Bancshares' trust preferred securities.
The Bank's previous formal agreement with the California Department of Business Oversight had been terminated on October 1, 2013, and was also replaced with an informal supervisory agreement. Accordingly, this represents the elimination of all formal supervisory agreements affecting Bancshares and the Bank.
The material terms and conditions of the Consent Order were previously disclosed in United Security Bancshares' Form 8-K filed on March 25, 2010.
The text of the press release related to the termination of the Consent Order is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
