Small-Bank Snatchers at BNC, Atlantic Capital (4/16/18)

Integrating its many acquisitions should help BNC Bancorp achieve growth, while Atlantic Capital’s merger with First Security could lead to new business.

By David Englander

Last week’s big rally aside, bank stocks haven’t fared well in 2016. While concerns about the sector persist, consolidation among small banks continues to present opportunities.

One such bank whose shares look attractive is BNC Bancorp (ticker: BNCN). Since 2010, the High Point, N.C.–based company has been on an acquisition binge, rolling up 15 banks, including two deals that will close this year. When all of the recent deals close, BNC will have assets of $7.2 billion, making it the fifth-largest bank headquartered in North Carolina.

At a recent $21.90, the stock isn’t particularly cheap, based on last year’s earnings of $1.47 a share and year-end tangible book value of $10.77 a share. But over the next few years, as BNC Bancorp drives synergies from its acquisitions, its earnings and tangible book value could move up substantially.

Analysts look for earnings growth of 12%, to $1.65 a share, this year and 13%, to $1.86, in 2017. That puts the stock at an inexpensive 11.8 times 2017 estimate. At a more reasonable 14 times, the shares would be worth 20% more.

BNC operates 62 branches in attractive metro markets in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Led since 2003 by CEO Richard Callicutt, BNC began to ramp up its growth after receiving backing from private-equity firm Aquiline Capital Partners in 2010.

Notably, Aquiline’s representative on the BNC board is Kennedy Thompson, the former CEO of Wachovia. Aquiline owns about 4% of the bank’s stock and all of its preferred shares.

BNC underwrites real estate and commercial and consumer loans. Last year, commercial real estate and residential mortgages accounted for about 75% of the $4.2 billion loan book. Credit quality has been good.

In 2015, helped by acquisitions, the loan book grew 35%. Organic loan growth, too, has been solid, up 20% in the December quarter on an annualized basis, with commercial real estate showing particular strength.

In 2015, BNC closed on two deals, Virginia-based Valley Financial, and the acquisition of seven branches of CertusHoldings in South Carolina, which altogether brought in more then $1 billion in assets. This year, deals for Southcoast Financial and High Point Bank, in South Carolina and North Carolina, respectively, are expected to close. Those add another $1.3 billion in assets.

Integrating the acquisitions should deliver synergies. Stephens analyst Tyler Stafford estimates that the bank’s efficiency ratio could drop to 50% by 2017 from 59% last year. He expects tangible book value to grow to $13.30 a share. On that metric, the stock trades for an undemanding 1.6 times tangible book, especially considering the bank’s earnings potential.

The discount probably reflects some investor skepticism over whether BNC can deliver on profitability growth. In a December report, Stafford points out that management has a “history of quickly realizing targeted cost saves” in past acquisitions. That bodes well for the bank, which is due to report first-quarter earnings in about a week.

He also notes that the BNC franchise has a “scarcity value,” as there aren’t many banks its size that have a comparable footprint in the Southeast. That could, one day, make BNC an attractive target itself for a larger bank.

ANOTHER SMALL BANK poised to benefit from an acquisition is Atlanta-based Atlantic Capital Bancshares. Last fall, Atlantic Capital completed a $160 million merger with Chattanooga, Tenn.–based First Security Group.

The deal transformed Atlantic Capital (ACBI) from a single-branch privately held commercial bank into a 26-branch operation located throughout northern Georgia and eastern Tennessee. Notably, the bank has a presence in the metro markets of Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Knoxville.

The shares began trading in November. At a recent $14—or at 1.3 times tangible book value—they look inexpensive. They could rise by 15% or more in the next year.

WITH $2.6 BILLION IN ASSETS , Atlantic could have a long runway for growth. Legacy Atlantic and FSG had two distinct business lines. The old Atlantic provided niche services for small businesses, including corporate banking and franchise lending. FSG, on the other hand, was a community bank focused on small-business lending and mortgage banking.

Integrating the offerings across the new footprint could lead to new business and market-share gains. Atlantic is also hiring new loan-production bankers and may expand into new metro markets in the Southeast. Management has targeted growth of $5 billion to $10 billion in assets over the next four years.

From the merger, Atlantic will be able to wring out cost savings as well as keep a significant chunk of FSG’s net operating losses, a deferred tax asset worth about $50 million.

Commercial real estate and business loans represent over 60% of Atlantic’s loan business. The bank, which will report earnings in two weeks, also underwrites residential real estate and consumer loans.

Sandler O’Neill & Partners analyst Stephen Scouten estimates earnings of 67 cents a share this year, growing to $1.09 a share in 2017. He values the shares at $16, based on 1.4 times this year’s estimated tangible book.

The stock is apt to be much higher in a couple of years if management can make progress on its strategy.

BNC's Deal for Southcoast Delayed by Extended Fed Review (3/31/16)

By Joseph Kellard

BNC Bancorp in High Point, N.C., has delayed the closing of its acquisition of Southcoast Financial in Mount Pleasant, S.C., as the Federal Reserve has not completed its review of the deal.

The $5.7 billion-asset holding company for Bank of North Carolina reached its agreement for Southcoast in August and, at the time, said it expected to close the deal by the end of March. However, the Fed's prolonged regulatory review forced BNC and Southcoast to adjust the timing, Bob Huckabee, BNC's chief marketing officer, said in an interview.

BNC and the $503 million-asset Southcoast on March 22 signed a mutual waivers agreement, which extends to Aug. 1 the date when either bank can unilaterally terminate the merger agreement.

Additionally, BNC's core processor has yet to schedule a conversion of Southcoast's systems, Huckabee said.

"Scheduling with them and getting the Fed to approve all the paperwork is what becomes the problem," Huckabee said.

BNC still expects the Southcoast deal to close "in the near term," and for the core systems conversion to take place in June, Huckabee said.

A spokesperson for the Fed declined to comment on the specific reasons for its delay in approving the acquisition. The North Carolina Commissioner of Banks approved the merger in December.

BNC agreed to buy Southcoast for $95.5 million in cash and stock, which will allow it to expand its existing presence in the Charleston, S.C., market.

In addition to growing trends in profitability, growth within the franchise was another major highlight for the second quarter as we closed two acquisitions which provided greater market penetration in the attractive Charlotte and Triangle regions of North Carolina, and announced an agreement to acquire Harbor National in the dynamic Charleston, South Carolina market. While acquisitions are a key part of our strategic initiative to gain market share in the high growth markets in the Carolinas, we are just as focused and proud of the organic growth obtained during the quarter. Excluding acquired or covered loans, the originated loan portfolio grew by $100 million, or 5.6% during the quarter, highlighted by significant growth in the HELOC portfolio, as well as commercial growth in both the Triangle and Charlotte markets."

Mr. Callicutt continued, "While our mortgage area showed improvement compared to the first quarter, we did not realize as much of an increase in revenues as expected. We see encouraging signs for the third quarter, with the addition of originators from Community First, and a growing level of applications taken and loans closings.

I want to once again, thank our team for their tireless efforts in the integration of the South Street and Community First employees and customers into our BNC family. While many view the system conversion as the cornerstone of integration success, we know that it's about our culture and gaining these new employees' and customers' trust and loyalty of the Cardinal and BNC brand."

Both companies are important additions with different dynamics that address BNC's long term strategy of building one of the premier franchises in the Carolinas and Virginia. These acquisitions provide a means to put the organization more on balance relative to core funding and asset diversification.

We have had in-depth conversations with our regulatory partners and feel confident that we will be able to achieve necessary approvals for each transaction. Current capital levels and earnings power built into BNC will provide the necessary capital to support both acquisitions, as well as planned organic growth, now and into the foreseeable future. We plan to have both organizations fully integrated by the end of the third quarter of 2014, with the combinations expected to drive an additional 12%+ in earnings per share in 2015."

BNC Bancorp Announces Increase in Earnings for Second Quarter 2013 (7/25/13)

HIGH POINT, N.C., July 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN) ("Company"), parent company for Bank of North Carolina ("Bank"), today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, net income totaled $4.7 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 103.7%, compared to net income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $4.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, an increase of $2.4 million, or 144.7%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $1.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. Included in the financial results for the second quarter of 2012 was $7.7 million of bargain purchase gain the Company recorded on the acquisition of Carolina Federal Savings Bank ("Carolina Federal").

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net income totaled $8.9 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 122.8%, when compared to net income of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $7.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, an increase of $5.1 million, or 180.2%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $2.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As stated above, the financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 include $7.7 million of bargain purchase gain the Company recorded on the acquisition of Carolina Federal.

Average common shares outstanding increased significantly from June 30, 2012 as a result of the $72.5 million capital raise in the second quarter of 2012 and the acquisitions of both KeySource Financial ("KeySource") and First Trust Bank ("First Trust") during the second half of 2012. For the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, average fully-diluted shares outstanding were 26.5 million and 13.6 million, respectively.

Total assets at June 30, 2013 were $2.93 billion, an increase of $486.8 million, or 19.9%, compared to total assets of $2.44 billion at June 30, 2012. The increase was due to continued growth in our North Carolina franchise, along with the acquisition and integration of First Trust, KeySource, and, to a lesser extent, two branches that were acquired from The Bank of Hampton Roads ("BHR") during the second half of 2012.

Total assets at June 30, 2013 decreased by $154.2 million, or 5.0%, as compared to total assets of $3.08 billion at December 31, 2012. As part of the KeySource and First Trust acquisitions, management's intention was to utilize excess liquidity and the acquired securities portfolios to repay wholesale and non-core deposits as they matured. The Company has been successful at reducing this inefficient component of the acquired balance sheets, and thus has experienced a decline in total assets during the first half of 2013. This deleveraging has helped the Company execute on its strategic initiative to improve capital ratios and net interest margin.

Highlights for Quarter Ended June 30, 2013:

•Announced agreement to acquire Randolph Bank and Trust Company ("Randolph"), a commercial bank with $302 million in assets serving small businesses and professionals in the Piedmont-Triad area of North Carolina;

•Redemption of all Series A Preferred Stock with non-dilutive term loan;

•Richard D. Callicutt II was named President and Chief Executive Officer, upon the planned retirement of founding President and CEO, W. Swope Montgomery, Jr.;

•Diluted earnings per share of $0.16, an increase of 23.1% compared to the second quarter of 2012;

•Net income available to common shareholders of $4.1 million, an increase of 144.7% compared to the second quarter of 2012;

•Fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin increased to 4.32%, compared to 3.71% for the second quarter of 2012;

•Fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin, before hedging costs, increased to 4.68%, compared to 4.08% for the second quarter of 2012; and

•Tangible common equity ratio of 7.69% at June 30, 2013, compared to 3.84% at June 30, 2012.

Richard D. Callicutt II, President and CEO, stated, "First, I want to thank my dear friend and founding CEO, Swope Montgomery, who retired in June, for his leadership of our Company for the past 22 years. He has slowly given me the reigns over the past ten years as he groomed me for this important transition as his successor. I am thrilled he will remain involved as our Vice-Chairman, and I look forward to working with him and our Board to take this Company to even greater heights."

"I am pleased to report another strong quarter, with earnings per share of $0.16 on a GAAP basis, and $0.17 on a Non-GAAP or core basis. We continue to see credit metrics improve, our non-acquired loan portfolio grow at a double-digit rate, our mortgage department remains healthy and growing despite an industry-wide slowdown in refinancing activity, and we remain diligent in our pursuit of integration efficiencies and cost savings associated with our recent completed acquisitions. The recently announced agreement to acquire Asheboro based Randolph Bank & Trust is another step in our strategic initiative to expand within our existing markets and provide further leverage of our support infrastructure, enhance overall operating efficiency, and create meaningful earnings accretion for our shareholders.

Our net interest margin, with and without fair value accretion, is up significantly from year ago levels, due to an aggressive re-pricing of deposit accounts and a more efficient earning asset base. With the Charlotte and Triangle real estate markets recovering more rapidly than anticipated, the resolutions of purchase credit impaired loans above carrying value is continuing to result in elevated fair value accretion, adding further to net interest margin.

Also, during the quarter we closed on a $30.0 million term loan at the holding company level and used the proceeds to redeem $31.3 million of Series A preferred stock. This transaction had minimal impact on Bank-level capital ratios, and will save the Company approximately $1.0 million after-tax annually from current levels," said Rick Callicutt.

Operating Results

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $28.0 million, an increase of $500,000, or 2.1%, from $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, and an increase of $8.4 million, or 42.8%, from $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. FTE net interest margin was 4.32% for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 12 basis points from 4.20% for the first quarter of 2013, and an increase of 61 basis points from 3.71% for the second quarter of 2012.

FTE net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $55.5 million, an increase of $15.9 million, or 40.1%, from $39.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. FTE net interest margin was 4.26% for the first six months of 2013, an increase of 51 basis points from 3.75% for the comparable period of 2012.

Average interest-earning assets were $2.60 billion for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $46.0 million, or 1.7%, from $2.65 billion during the first quarter of 2013, and an increase of $479.3 million, or 22.6%, from $2.12 billion for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease from the first quarter of 2013 was a continued reduction in interest-earning balances at other financial institutions, as the Company continued repaid wholesale and certain high cost deposits as they mature. Average interest-earning assets were $2.63 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $505.5 million, or 23.8%, from $2.12 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in average interest-earning assets from 2012 is primarily due to the interest-earning assets acquired from First Trust, KeySource and, to a lesser extent, BHR during the second half of 2012.

The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets increased 12 basis points from 5.33% for the first quarter of 2013 to 5.45% for the second quarter of 2013, and increased 19 basis points from 5.26% for the second quarter of 2012. The increase from first quarter of 2013 was due to a significant reduction of interest-bearing deposits with other institutions, consistent with the Company's strategy for deleveraging the balance sheet. The increase from the second quarter of 2012 was due to increased volume of portfolio loans, primarily obtained from the acquisitions of First Trust, KeySource and Carolina Federal, as well as increased level of accretion of yield and fair value discounts on the acquired loan portfolios. Loan accretion during the second quarter of 2013 totaled $3.7 million, an increase from loan accretion of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, and an increase of $2.7 million, or 256.4%, from $1.0 million of accretion recorded in the second quarter of 2012.

The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 5.34% for the comparable period of 2012. The increase from 2012 was due to increased volume of portfolio loans, primarily obtained from the acquisitions of First Trust, KeySource and Carolina Federal, as well as increased level of accretion of yield and fair value discounts on the acquired loan portfolios. Loan accretion during the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $7.0 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 179.9%, from loan accretion of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.36 billion for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $53.8 million, or 2.2%, from $2.41 billion for the first quarter of 2013, and an increase of $316.6 million, or 15.5%, from $2.04 billion for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease from the first quarter of 2013 was due to the continued repayment of higher rate time and transaction deposits and replacement of these deposits at lower rates, offset by increased borrowings entered into during the second quarter of 2013. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.39 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $317.1 million, or 15.3%, from $2.07 billion for the comparable period of 2012. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2012 is primarily due to the acquisitions of First Trust, KeySource, and BHR during the second half of 2012.

The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.25% for the second quarter of 2013, a slight increase from 1.24% for the first quarter of 2013, and a decrease of 35 basis points from 1.60% for the second quarter of 2012. This increase from first quarter of 2013 was due to increased borrowings that were entered into during the second quarter of 2013, offset by the Company's decision to reduce exposure to higher cost deposit products and aggressively reduce deposit rates. The Company continued to experience an increase in cash flow hedging expense, which totaled $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. Without the cash flow hedging expense, FTE net interest margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 4.68%, compared to 4.54% for the first quarter of 2013 and 4.08% for the second quarter of 2012.

The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 38 basis points from 1.62% for the comparable period of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the Company's decision to reduce exposure to higher cost deposit products and aggressively reduce deposit rates over the past three quarters. Decreases in the average cost of deposits were slightly offset by an increase in cash flow hedging expense, which totaled $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $3.8 million for the comparable period of 2012. Without the cash flow hedging expense, FTE net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 4.61%, compared to 4.11% for the comparable period of 2012.

BNC Bancorp Announces Definitive Merger Agreement with Randolph Bank & Trust (5/31/13)

Merger Expands Bank of North Carolina's Presence in the Piedmont-Triad Area of Central North Carolina

HIGH POINT, N.C., May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN), the parent company of Bank of North Carolina ("BNC" or "the Bank"), today announced that it has signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") with Randolph Bank & Trust Company (OTC: RDBN) ("Randolph Bank & Trust"), a commercial bank with $302 million in assets serving small businesses and professionals in the Piedmont-Triad area of North Carolina.

The Agreement provides for Randolph Bank & Trust common shareholders to receive an amount of cash or shares of BNC common stock equal to $10.00 per share, subject to certain collars, for an aggregate deal value for common shareholders of approximately $10.4 million. Eighty percent of the total consideration received by the Randolph Bank & Trust common shareholders will be BNC voting common stock and the remainder will be cash. As a result of the transaction, BNC will acquire three branches in Asheboro, North Carolina and one each in Burlington, Mebane and Randleman, North Carolina, as well as $168 million in loans and $270 million in deposits. Upon closing, BNC will have approximately $1.0 billion in loans and $1.5 billion in deposits in the Piedmont-Triad area of central North Carolina.

With the transaction announced today, BNC will extend its track record as an active consolidator in the commercial banking industry – a strategy that has supported its growth from a small community bank into a pro forma $3.2 billion asset institution with a trusted brand, an experienced management team and a branch footprint that serves most of the top growth markets throughout the Carolinas. In the last several years, BNC has acquired and fully integrated a number of strategic acquisitions across North and South Carolina, including Beach First National Bank in Myrtle Beach, SC, Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Asheville, Regent Bank in Greenville, SC, KeySource Commercial Bank in Durham and, most recently, First Trust Bank in Charlotte.

"The Randolph Bank & Trust management, Board of Directors, and entire team share our principles and customer-focused approach, and we are pleased to welcome them, their customers and their shareholders to BNC," said Rick Callicutt , President of Bank of North Carolina. "Randolph Bank & Trust has a long, rich tradition in the Randolph and Alamance County markets, and as neighbors and competitors over the years, we have admired their brand of banking and their dedication to their communities. This transaction epitomizes our current strategy of growing within our existing markets both organically and through acquisition, thus further leveraging our infrastructure to produce greater performance for our shareholders."

Michael Whitehead, Jr. , President of Randolph Bank & Trust, said, "Bank of North Carolina is one of the largest and most profitable institutions in the Carolinas and we are delighted to be joining forces with this high growth company. We believe this transaction is in the best interests of all of our key constituents, including our employees, who will have additional opportunities for growth, our customers, who will have access to a wider and stronger array of products, and our shareholders, who will have an opportunity to benefit from being part of a larger, profitable and growing institution."

Commenting on metrics of the transaction, Rick Callicutt said, "This combination should be immediately accretive to BNC's earnings and only minimally dilutive to tangible book value with an expected earn-back period of less than one year. This transaction, expected to close in the third quarter of 2013, further enhances the earnings power of our Company as we focus on our profitability targets for 2014 and beyond."

Closing of the Randolph Bank & Trust merger, which is subject to regulatory approval, customary closing conditions and the approval of Randolph Bank & Trust's shareholders, is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2013. Upon closing, Randolph Bank & Trust preferred shareholders, including the United States Department of the Treasury, will receive cash equal to the liquidation value of their preferred shares totaling approximately $8.7 million.

For the merger, BNC Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of North Carolina, were advised by Banks Street Partners, LLC as financial advisor and Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, LLP as legal advisor, both in Atlanta. Randolph Bank & Trust was advised by Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. as financial advisor and Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton LLP in Raleigh as legal advisor.

BNC Bancorp Announces Increase in Earnings for First Quarter 2013 (4/29/13)

HIGH POINT, N.C., April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN) ("Company"), parent company for Bank of North Carolina ("Bank"), today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, net income totaled $4.3 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 148.1%, when compared to net income of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $3.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012.

Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $2.93 billion, an increase of $520.3 million, or 21.6%, compared to $2.41 billion at March 31, 2012. The increase was due to continued growth in our North Carolina franchise, along with the acquisition and integration of First Trust Bank ("First Trust"), KeySource Financial ("KeySource"), Carolina Federal Savings Bank ("Carolina Federal") and, to a lesser extent, two branches that were acquired from The Bank of Hampton Roads ("BHR") during 2012.

Total assets at March 31, 2013 decreased by $154.6 million, or 5.0%, to $2.93 billion, as compared to total assets of $3.08 billion at December 31, 2012. As part of the KeySource and First Trust acquisitions, management's intention was to utilize excess liquidity and the acquired securities portfolios to repay wholesale and non-core deposits as they matured. The Company has been successful at reducing this inefficient component of the acquired balance sheets, and thus has experienced a decline in total assets during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to year end 2012. This deleveraging has helped the Company execute on its strategic initiative to improve capital ratios and net interest margin during the first quarter of 2013.

Included in the financial results for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are $491,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, of net gains from securities and acquisitions and $1.0 million and $847,000, respectively, of transaction-related expenses.

Average common shares outstanding have increased significantly since the first quarter of 2012 as a result of the $72.5 million capital raise in the second quarter of 2012 and the acquisitions of both KeySource and First Trust during the second half of 2012. For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, average fully-diluted shares outstanding were 26.5 million and 10.9 million, respectively.

Highlights for 2013:

•Announced redemption of Series A Preferred Stock with non-dilutive term loan;

•Net income available to common shareholders of $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 233.6% compared to first quarter of 2012;

•Diluted earnings per share for first quarter of 2013 was $0.14, an increase of 27.3% compared to first quarter of 2012;

•Net interest margin increased to a healthy 4.20% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 3.80% for the first quarter of 2012;

•Net interest margin, before hedging costs, increased to 4.54% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 4.17% for the first quarter of 2012;

•Successful core conversion of the First Trust customer base, with integration and cost savings on schedule;

•Converted all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to non-voting common; and

•Tangible common equity ratio of 7.64% at March 31, 2013, compared to 3.73% at March 31, 2012.

W. Swope Montgomery, Jr., President and CEO, stated, "While 2012 was a year of strategic growth and diversification, in 2013 we have further enhanced our focus on integration, operating efficiency, and earnings. We continue to actively pursue strategic acquisitions that provide depth in our key markets; however, we are cultivating the investments made over the past several years in growth markets, non-interest income sources, a more diversified deposit base, and an elite-level senior management team into key drivers of financial performance. Our first quarter earnings are evidence that our internal focus on efficiency, integration, and execution are on track.

Our net interest margin, with and without fair value accretion, is up significantly from year ago levels, due to an aggressive repricing of deposit accounts and a more efficient earning asset base. Our mortgage department continues to increase origination volumes and related revenues by double digit rates on a quarter-to-quarter basis, while remaining at or above 55% in purchase volume. Credit metrics, despite the impact of acquisitions on the nominal amounts, continue to show overall positive trends, especially when including the reduction in performing troubled debt restructurings in the first quarter.

With this being the Company's last earnings release before my retirement as CEO, I am very proud of the strength and soundness of our balance sheet, and the upwards momentum of earnings that I pass to my dear friend and very deserving successor, Rick Callicutt, currently our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Our Company is in great shape as we head into the future in terms of financial strength, positioning, and leadership."

"We were pleased to announce that after receiving regulatory approval, on April 26, 2013 we closed on a $30 million term loan at the holding company level and used the proceeds to redeem the $31.26 million of Series A preferred stock initially issued under the Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Treasury. This transaction will have minimal to no impact on Bank-level capital ratios, and will save the Company approximately $1.0 million after-tax annually from current levels and $1.8 million if the preferred stock had stepped up to the 9% coupon on December 5, 2013," said Rick Callicutt.

Operating Results

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 was $27.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million from $25.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, and an increase of $7.5 million from $20.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. FTE net interest margin was 4.20% for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 11 basis points from 4.09% for the fourth quarter of 2012, and an increase of 40 basis points from FTE net interest margin of 3.80% for the first quarter of 2012.

Average interest-earning assets were $2.65 billion for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $155.2 million from $2.50 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012, and an increase of $537.2 million from $2.11 billion for the first quarter of 2012. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2012 is due to the full quarter impact of the interest-earning assets purchased from First Trust in November 2012, while the increase from first quarter 2012 is primarily due to the interest-earning assets acquired from First Trust, KeySource, BHR and Carolina Federal during 2012.

The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 5 basis points from 5.38% in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 5.33% in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to 5.43% for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2012, as well as the first quarter of 2012, is due to the maturity and replacement of higher yielding investment securities with investment securities with lower yields. Loan accretion during the first quarter of 2013 totaled $3.3 million, an increase of $247,000 from loan accretion of $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, and an increase of $1.9 million from the first quarter of 2012.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.41 billion for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $119.1 million from $2.30 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012, and an increase of $317.7 million from $2.10 billion for the first quarter of 2012. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2012 is due to the full quarter impact of the liabilities assumed from First Trust in November 2012, while the increase from first quarter 2012 is primarily due to the acquisition of First Trust, KeySource, BHR and Carolina Federal.

The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.24% for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of 17 basis points compared to 1.41% for the fourth quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 40 basis points from 1.64% for the first quarter of 2012. This decrease is due to the Company's decision to reduce exposure to higher cost deposit products and aggressively reduce deposit rates over the past two quarters. Decreases in the average cost of deposits were slightly offset by an increase in cash flow hedging expense, which totaled $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. Without the cash flow hedging expense, FTE net interest margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 4.54%, compared to 4.43% for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 4.17% for the first quarter of 2012.

BNC Bancorp Announces Planned Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock (4/26/13)

HIGH POINT, N.C., April 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (Nasdaq: BNCN) ("BNC") announced today that it intends to redeem 100 percent of the 31,260 shares of the outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock") that were issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") Capital Purchase Program. The effective date for the planned redemption will be April 29, 2013. The shares are being redeemed from third parties that purchased the Preferred Stock from the United States Department of the Treasury in a modified Dutch auction in August 2012.

The purchase price for the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in the redemption will be the stated liquidation value of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued or unpaid dividends that have been earned thereon up to, but not including, the date of redemption. BNC has received all necessary regulatory approvals to complete the planned redemption. The funds for the redemption are expected to come from cash on and hand and the net proceeds of a $30 million term loan from Synovus Bank that is expected to close today.

Richard D. Callicutt , Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of BNC commented: "We are pleased to announce this redemption. The ability to use debt at the Holding Company level to redeem these preferred shares reduces BNC's cost of capital, is not dilutive to common shareholders, and does not impact the capital ratios at the Bank level. We believe that regulatory approval of this redemption is further indication of BNC's financial strength. The capital ratios of BNC and the Bank of North Carolina following the redemption will continue to exceed the requirements of our regulators and the standards for well-capitalized banks and bank holding companies."

BNC was advised in connection with the loan from Synovus and the preferred stock redemption by Banks Street Partners, LLC and Womble, Carlyle, Sandridge & Rice, LLP, both in Atlanta.

BNCN Announces Earnings for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 (1/30/13)

HIGH POINT, N.C., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN) ("Company"), parent company for Bank of North Carolina ("Bank"), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012 net income totaled $5.0 million, an increase of 261.4%, when compared to net income of $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2011. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $4.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $796,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Total assets at December 31, 2012 were $3.08 billion, an increase of $628.9 million, or 25.6%, compared to $2.45 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase was due to continued growth in our North Carolina franchise, along with the acquisition and integration of First Trust Bank ("First Trust"), KeySource Financial ("KeySource"), Carolina Federal Savings Bank ("Carolina Federal") and, to a lesser extent, two branches that were acquired from The Bank of Hampton Roads ("BHR") during 2012.

Included in the financial results for the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are $5.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of acquisition gains and $1.4 million and $723,000, respectively, of transaction related expenses.

W. Swope Montgomery, Jr., President and CEO, stated, "We are very proud of our Company's many achievements in 2012, as we continued to make significant progress in fortifying our balance sheet and creating franchise value for our shareholders. Over the past four years we expanded our footprint throughout the Carolinas by acquisition and organic expansion allowing us to significantly grow our core deposit base and reduce our reliance on wholesale sources of funding while creating greater geographic diversity in both loan originations and our loan portfolio mix. Also during the past four years we have raised over $107 million of common equity, the most significant being a $72.5 million raise in June of 2012. Credit quality metrics have continued to improve, evidenced by the reduction of our classified assets to capital ratio to 44% at the end of 2012. Throughout this period we have continued to recruit exceptionally experienced and proven leaders to oversee the various functional areas of our Company, as well as expanded our product and service offerings to include Treasury Management, SBA Lending, and a much more robust mortgage operation.

While our successes have been plentiful, our strategic vision and execution plans are far from finished. The expansions to date have been necessary and strategic, greatly enhancing the soundness and franchise value of our Company, however they have been expensive. While we are pleased to report earnings of $0.19 in the fourth quarter, a net interest margin of 4.09% and significant gains in core non-interest income sources, there is still much work to be done on areas such as operating leverage, efficiency, credit costs, and overall profitability. While we are excited about the results of 2012, we are just as excited about the opportunities to tackle the identified areas that will provide even greater value for our shareholders in the future."

Operating Results

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $24.1 million, an increase of $4.0 million from the $20.1 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2011. Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest margin was 4.09% for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of 9 basis points from 4.18% for the comparable period of 2011. This decrease is a result of lower interest rates on interest-earning assets and higher hedging costs, partially offset by lower core funding costs.

Average interest-earning assets were $2.50 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $454.3 million from $2.04 billion for 2011. The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 42 basis points from 5.80% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 5.38% in the fourth quarter of 2012. Loan accretion during the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $3.1 million, which was consistent with the amount recorded during the comparable period of 2011.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.30 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $257.8 million from $2.04 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.41% for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of 21 basis points, compared to 1.62% for the fourth quarter of 2011. Decreases in the average cost of deposits were offset by an increase in cash flow hedging expense, which totaled $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.7 million for the comparable period of 2011. Without the cash flow hedging expense, net interest margin (FTE) for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 4.43%, compared to 4.51% for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net interest income for 2012 was $80.6 million, an increase of $10.2 million from the $70.4 million earned in 2011. Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest margin was 3.85% for 2012, a decrease of 8 basis points from 3.93% for 2011. This decrease is a result of lower interest rates on interest-earning assets and higher hedging costs, partially offset by lower core funding costs.

Average interest-earning assets were $2.24 billion for 2012, an increase of $308.4 million from $1.94 billion for 2011. During 2012, the Company's average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 32 basis points from 5.63% in 2011 to 5.31%. Loan accretion during 2012 totaled $6.7 million, which was consistent with the amount recorded during 2011.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $2.13 billion for 2012, an increase of $212.6 million from $1.91 billion for 2011. The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.55% for 2012, a decrease of 17 basis points, compared to 1.72% for 2011. Decreases in the average cost of deposits were offset by an increase in cash flow hedging expense, which totaled $7.9 million for 2012 and $5.1 million for 2011. Without the cash flow hedging expense, net interest margin (FTE) for 2012 was 4.21%, compared to 4.19% for 2011.

BNCN Completes Acquisition of First Trust Bank (11/30/12)

HIGH POINT, N.C., Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (Nasdaq: BNCN) ("BNC") today closed its acquisition of First Trust Bank ("First Trust"), thereby expanding and enhancing the BNC franchise in the attractive Charlotte Metro area.

BNC previously announced its plan to acquire all the capital stock of First Trust on June 4, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, First Trust had assets of $401 million, loans of $195 million and deposits of $334 million. First Trust's branch offices in Charlotte and Mooresville, North Carolina, will continue to operate under the First Trust name until systems are converted in early February.

Swope Montgomery, President and CEO of BNC, commented: "We are extremely pleased to welcome First Trust customers, shareholders and employees to the Bank of North Carolina family. The completion of this strategic transaction is consistent with our long-term plan to partner with quality organizations, enhance our presence in desirable markets and provide our diverse financial product suite to new customers."

Jim Bolt, Chief Executive Officer of First Trust, commented: "We could not have asked for a better partner than BNC, an organization that truly understands the importance of community banking. Through this merger, we believe we have enhanced both the banking experience for our customers and upside potential for our shareholders."

"The completion of this merger is a product of a lot of effort and great teamwork between the BNC and First Trust organizations," said Rick Callicutt, President of Bank of North Carolina. He continued, "We are excited to work closely with Jim and his talented team of bankers to effectively deliver the BNC platform to new and existing customers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding communities. The Charlotte area represents an attractive, growth-oriented market for us and this merger provides a strong presence in Charlotte and further establishes BNC's position as a Carolinas-focused financial institution."

The deal is valued at approximately $38.1 million based on BNC's closing share price of $8.47, as listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 29th. First Trust shareholders will receive 0.98 shares of BNC voting common stock for each share of First Trust common stock, or cash in the amount of $7.25 per share. Total consideration in the merger will consist of 70% BNC stock and 30% cash.

BNC Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of North Carolina, were advised in this transaction by FIG Partners LLC as lead financial advisor, along with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods with Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, LLP in Atlanta as legal advisor.

BNC BANCORP REPURCHASES WARRANT FROM US TREASURY

HIGH POINT, N.C., Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (Nasdaq: BNCN) announced that on August 29, 2012, the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") closed the sale of all its 31,260 shares of BNC Bancorp's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A in a secondary public offering at a price of $921.23 per share.

BNC Bancorp also announced that yesterday it completed the repurchase of the warrant issued to Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The warrant provided Treasury with the right to purchase 543,337 shares of BNC Bancorp's common stock at $8.63 per share. BNC Bancorp and Treasury agreed upon a repurchase price of $939,920 for the warrant.

Following the repurchase of the warrant, Treasury has no remaining equity stake in BNC Bancorp and BNC Bancorp is no longer a participant in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

BNC commenced its participation in the TARP program in December 2008. Since that time BNC has originated more than $850 million in loans and added an additional 369 employees.

In all, the Treasury and the taxpayers netted a return of 16.7% on their investment in BNC Bancorp.

President and Chief Executive Officer Swope Montgomery commented, "For us, the Capital Purchase Program did what it set out to do. It helped a healthy bank like Bank of North Carolina further enhance its capital levels in a tough economy which allowed us to continue to lend to small businesses and individuals in our local markets, create jobs and expand our brand of personalized customer service throughout the Carolinas. In addition, our repurchase of the warrant from Treasury was a prudent and appropriate investment that will limit future shareholder dilution."

BNCN Announces Increase in Earnings for Second Quarter 2012 (7/30/12)

HIGH POINT, N.C., July 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN) ("Company"), parent company for Bank of North Carolina ("Bank"), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2012.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, net income totaled $2.3 million, an increase of 44% compared to the $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Net income available to common shareholders was $1.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, an increase of 70% compared to the $992,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, reported for the second quarter in 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred $1.1 million of expenses associated with merger and acquisition activities, which reduced after-tax diluted earnings per share by $0.05.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net income totaled $4.0 million, an increase of 29% compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred $2.3 million of expenses associated with merger and acquisition activities, which reduced after-tax diluted earnings per share by $0.11.

Total assets at June 30, 2012 were $2.44 billion, an increase of $296.1 million, or 14%, compared to $2.15 billion at June 30, 2011. The increase was due to strong organic growth in our North Carolina franchise, along with the acquisition and integration of Carolina Federal Savings Bank ("Carolina Federal"), Regent Bank of South Carolina ("Regent") and Blue Ridge Saving Bank ("Blue Ridge") during this period.

Highlights for Quarter ended June 30, 2012:

Marketed and closed a $72.5 million private capital raise which converted to common equity as of July 20, 2012

Priced at a 6% discount to the 30 day average trading price

Announced the agreement to acquire First Trust Bank in Charlotte, North Carolina

$438 million in assets; $228 million in loans; and $374 million in deposits

Acquired Carolina Federal Savings Bank in Charleston, South Carolina through a FDIC-assisted transaction

$53 million in deposits; $29 million in performing loans; and no non-performing assets

Announced the agreement to acquire two full-service offices in Cary and Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Completed our annual Safety and Soundness examination

Classified assets declined from $143 million to $116 million

Grew core deposits by $108 million and reduced wholesale funding by $135 million

Net income available to common shareholders increased to $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $0.10 in Q2 of 2011, and $0.11 in Q1 of 2012

Mortgage division closed over $68 million in new loan originations during the quarter, resulting in income and fees of over $1.5 million

Loan pipeline remains strong in each of our newer markets

W. Swope Montgomery, Jr., President and CEO, noted, "The accomplishments during the second quarter will certainly transform our Company and propel us into the future with even greater momentum and financial strength. The closing of the institutionally based $72.5 million capital raise provides much needed capital to continue our strategic and opportunistic expansion plans, as well as increasing our daily trading volume. The announcement of the First Trust acquisition in Charlotte further expands our presence in the fastest growing market in the Carolinas, and creates greater efficiencies in that region. The FDIC assisted transaction of Carolina Federal in the Charleston, SC market was a strategic fit to our coastal franchise and resulted in a $7.7 million one-time financial gain. Also during the quarter we announced the agreement to purchase branches in Cary and Chapel Hill, NC that will expand our presence in the dynamic Triangle market, further complementing our announced acquisition of KeySource Commercial Bank in Durham.

With sizable one-time revenues and expenses in the second quarter, management felt it was prudent to continue to aggressively reserve for potential credit impairments in both the covered and non-covered portfolios. The covered loan portfolio at the South Carolina coast required additional reserves for identified impairments and cash flow variances, particularly in the land category, as new appraisals were obtained on a majority of the troubled portfolio. Despite charge-offs in the non-covered portfolio increasing from prior quarters, the outsized quarterly provision brought our allowance to 1.91% of portfolio loans less fair value loans and 112% of non-covered non-performing loans. Despite the increase in the allowance, we are very pleased that classified assets declined during the quarter from $143 million to $116 million."

Montgomery continued, "We remain confident that the franchise we are building throughout the Carolinas is providing a solid foundation on which to optimize long-term shareholder returns in this new era of banking. Over the past four years the investment in a diversified footprint has been expensive; however, the recovery is taking hold much more quickly in our franchise that is concentrated in the higher growth counties, and the opportunities to leverage our regional and central infrastructure continue to be numerous. The accomplishments during the second quarter resulted in significant progress in executing our strategic plan to be the community bank of choice in the Carolinas."

Additional Operating Highlights from Second Quarter

Since June 2011, total portfolio loans have increased $231.7 million, or 15.2%. At June 30, 2012, the Company's loan portfolio included $284.6 million in loans covered under loss-share agreements and $1.48 billion of non-covered loans. The Company's acquisition of Blue Ridge increased loans covered under loss-share agreements by $65.6 million and the acquisitions of Carolina Federal and Regent increased loans not covered by loss-share agreements by $61.2 million. Loans acquired in connection with these transactions are accounted for under fair value and shown net of any related credit and yield adjustments, from acquisition date.

BNCN Assumes All Deposits and Purchases Certain Assets of Carolina Federal Savings Bank (6/11/12)

THOMASVILLE, N.C., June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of North Carolina ("BNC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNC Bancorp (Nasdaq: BNCN), announced today that it has entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to purchase certain assets and to assume all of the deposits and substantially all other liabilities of Carolina Federal Savings Bank ("Carolina Federal").

On Friday, June 8, Carolina Federal was closed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC was named as Receiver. All Carolina Federal locations opened today as branches of Bank of North Carolina, doing business in South Carolina as BNC Bank. All former Carolina Federal depositors will be able to conduct banking business as usual. Carolina Federal customers can continue to access their money by writing checks, using ATMs, debit cards, or the Internet. Checks drawn on Carolina Federal will continue to be accepted. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.

A full integration effort is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2012.

"Charleston is one of the most dynamic coastal markets in South Carolina and we are excited to extend BNC's footprint into the area," said Rick Callicutt, President of BNC. "This transaction is an important step as we continue to build our presence in South Carolina, and specifically Charleston, which is a vibrant tourist destination seeing meaningful development by major corporations, and has significant opportunities for growth."

Carolina Federal deposit customers will receive a letter providing additional details concerning their accounts and are encouraged to call their local banking office and speak to the same familiar staff, or visit bankofnc.com or call 1-800-262-7175 for additional information.

BNC Bancorp President and CEO, Swope Montgomery, said, "We'd like to welcome Carolina Federal's loyal staff and customers to Bank of North Carolina, and tell customers that we look forward to providing them with a smooth transition and the highest quality banking experience at BNC."

Under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, Bank of North Carolina purchased approximately $31 million in performing loans and assumed approximately $52 million in local deposits from the FDIC as Receiver of Carolina Federal. BNC's bid excluded approximately $14 million in troubled assets and other real estate that will be retained by the FDIC. There is no loss-share arrangement with the FDIC with respect to this transaction. BNC did not pay a premium to the FDIC to assume the deposits of Carolina Federal. No additional capital was required to fund the transaction and both BNC Bancorp and Bank of North Carolina will remain "well capitalized" on a pro forma basis after the transaction.

Today's announcement follows last week's news that BNC has received binding commitments for a $72.5 million capital raise and has signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with First Trust Bank. In the last two years, BNC has engaged in a number of additional strategic acquisitions across North and South Carolina, including Beach First National Bank in Myrtle Beach, SC, Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Asheville, Regent Bank in Greensville, SC, KeySource Commercial Bank in Durham and, most recently, the Cary and Chapel Hill branches of Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc., which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2012.

Bank of North Carolina was advised in the Carolina Federal transaction by BankStreet Partners, LLC and Womble, Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, LLP, both in Atlanta.

BNC Bancorp raises capital, buys community bank

Tue Jun 5, 2012 3:58am IST

(Reuters) - BNC Bancorp (BNCN.O), a North Carolina-based bank holding company, said it is raising $72.5 million from private equity firm Aquiline Capital Partners LLC and 19 other investors and is also buying a small commercial bank in the Charlotte area.

BNC, parent of Bank of North Carolina, which has $2.5 billion in assets, announced the deals on Monday after the end of trading. BNC stock closed at $7.40, down 41 cents, or 5.2 percent.

The investors are buying preferred stock mandatorily convertible into common stock upon shareholder approval at $7 a share, according to the company.

Aquiline, which is based in New York, is leading the investment group, which includes directors of BNC. The financing is expected to close on or about Friday.

Aquiline is making a specialty of investing in consolidation of the battered banking industry. Its investment professionals include former Wachovia bank Chief Executive Ken Thompson, a North Carolina native who also is a director of BNC.

"This capital raise represents a significant step in our strategic plan, and will provide the capital we need to continue our expansion in the key growth markets of North and South Carolina," Rick Callicutt, president of Bank of North Carolina, said in a statement.

The company also said it is paying about $35 million in stock and in cash to buy First Trust Bank (NCFT.OB), which has $436 million of assets and primarily serves small businesses and professionals in the Charlotte area.

The terms call for shareholders of First Trust to receive $7.25 a share. Two trades of 100 shares each were reported on Monday. The shares last traded at $5.90.

Bank of North Carolina said it will pick up three new branches, $228 million in loans and $374 million in deposits with the purchase.
