Note 2. Stock Conversion On October 29, 2010, Share Plus Federal Bank completed its conversion from a federal mutual savings bank to a capital stock savings bank. A new holding company, SP Bancorp, Inc., was established as part of the conversion. The public offering was consummated through the sale and issuance by SP Bancorp, Inc. of 1,725,000 shares of common stock at $10 per share. Net proceeds of $14.5 million were raised in the stock offering, after deduction of conversion costs of $2.0 million and excluding $0.8 million which was loaned by the Company to a trust for the ESOP. The ESOP purchased 67,750 shares in the offering and 70,250 shares in the open market. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account until released for allocation to participants. Shares released are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s compensation, as defined in the ESOP, to the total compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are released from suspense, the Bank recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares committed to be released during the year. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to equity as additional paid-in capital. SP Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SPBC.” Voting rights are held and exercised exclusively by the stockholders of SP Bancorp, Inc. Deposit account holders of the Bank continue to be insured by the FDIC. A liquidation account was established in the amount of $17.0 million, which represented the Bank’s total equity capital as of March 31, 2010, the latest balance sheet date in the final prospectus used in the conversion. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank. The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not declare, pay a dividend on, or repurchase any of its capital stock, if the effect thereof would cause equity capital to be reduced below the liquidation account amount or regulatory capital requirements. Any purchase of the new holding company’s common stock will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. On February 27, 2012, SP Bancorp, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which SP Bancorp, Inc. intends to repurchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding shares, or up to approximately 86,250 shares. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate SP Bancorp, Inc. to purchase any particular number of shares, and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares to be repurchased by SP Bancorp, Inc. SP Bancorp, Inc. had repurchased 25,200 shares under the stock repurchase program through June 30, 2012.
