As per the company's filings with the SEC, on August 11th, 2016, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") notified BancorpSouth Bank that, in connection with the Bank's entry into a Consent Order on June 29th, 2016, with the US Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to settle and resolve alleged violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act, the FDIC will be retroactively downgrading the Bank's Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") rating from "Satisfactory" to "Needs to Improve," effective as of the 2013 CRA evaluation. As a result of the retroactive downgrade of the Bank's CRA rating, the Company and the Bank likely will be unable to obtain the necessary Federal Reserve or FDIC regulatory approvals to complete the two pending mergers with Ouachita Bancshares Corp. and Central Community Corp. and their respective affiliated banks until such time as the Bank's CRA rating is improved to "Satisfactory".
