The FDIC and First Community Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on $330.6 million of Waccamaw Bank's assets.

"We are excited to expand our operations into Eastern North Carolina and Horry and Lancaster counties, South Carolina" said John Mendez, CEO of First Community Bancshares Inc., the holding company of First Community Bank.

Bank of North Carolina, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNC Bancorp acquired certain assets and assumed all of the deposits and substantially all other liabilities of Carolina Federal Savings Bank in Charleston, SC.

The OCC said Carolina Federal experienced substantial dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe or unsound practices. The OCC also found that the institution incurred losses that depleted its capital, the institution was undercapitalized, and there was no reasonable prospect that it will become adequately capitalized.

As of March 31, Carolina Federal Savings Bank operated two branches and had $54.4 million in total assets.

Bank of North Carolina purchased $31 million in performing loans and assumed $52 million in local deposits from the FDIC. BNC's bid excluded $14 million in troubled assets and other real estate primarily residential that will be retained by the FDIC.

"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."

The FDIC estimates that the cost to its DIF will be $15.2 million.
