Shoreline Bank launches stock offering


 From Jeff Lewis, President and CEO, Shoreline Bank

Shoreline Bank has just launched a stock offering of $9-11 million. If successful, we will not only exceed regulatory capital requirements but position the Bank for viability in the future. The stock offering is through a private placement memorandum (PPM). Accredited investors are eligible to participate. The offering expires August 14, 2010 with a provision for a possible extension. We encourage any accredited investor interested in the stock subscription process to contact me for the PPM.

Losses related to borrowers who have defaulted on business and construction loans and the dramatic drop in real estate values has significantly eroded our capital the past two years. We have taken numerous steps to respond to these circumstances. However, we now need a significant boost to capital if we are to remain viable. We are hopeful and cautiously confident that our recapitalization plan will succeed.

We are committed to the Shoreline, Lake Forest Park and nearby communities and would be happy to address any further questions in person at one of our three branches.
