Rick Green, President Emeritus, stated, "During the third quarter, Southwest took actions to achieve its strategic goals. In July, we resumed payment of dividends on the three trust preferred securities and our Series B Preferred securities and brought current all dividends that had been previously deferred. The Series B Preferred securities were issued by Southwest to the U.S. Treasury Department under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program in December 2008."
"In August 2012, Southwest completed the repurchase of all $70.0 million of the Series B Preferred securities sold to the Treasury. Southwest incurred a one-time non-cash equity charge of $1.2 million to reflect accelerated accretion of the remaining discount on the securities. The funds for the repurchase were internally generated, and Southwest and each of its banking subsidiaries remain well capitalized after the repurchase." "We were able to accomplish these goals while at the same time improving year-to-date profitability, stabilizing asset quality, and maintaining strong capital levels."Select the service that is right for you!
