In October, we closed on a $10 million subordinated debt issue. We intend to invest most of those proceeds in the Bank to bolster capital for projected growth. Conversion of our Mooresville loan production office to a full service branch has been approved by both the FDIC and North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. During the first quarter of 2017, we look forward to providing our full suite of deposit products and online banking services to customers in Mooresville and the communities along the eastern side of Lake Norman. In Hickory, we expect that construction of our permanent branch will be completed in the 4th quarter of 2016. As we relocate from a multi-tenant building to a freestanding and more convenient location, we look forward to developing more banking relationships in Hickory and the surrounding Unifour region.”
