CHULA VISTA, CA--(Marketwire - July 12, 2010) - Seacoast Commerce Bank (OTCBB: [ SCCB ]) today announced that it successfully raised over $5 million of Common Stock in a Private Placement offering that was completed on June 30, 2010, with the Board of Directors investing over $1.1 million through the offering. The capital raised will be used to support the bank's growth and help provide a capital cushion as it works through its remaining loan problems.

2nd quarter results are expected to be released on July 23rd where the bank is expected to report a loss for the quarter due to an additional provision to the loan loss reserve to resolve some problem credits.

FDIC "Well Capitalized" Level
Tier 1 Capital Ratio:9.67%5.00%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio:15.02%6.00%
Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio:16.30%10.00%

The bank will also report exceptional results from its SBA operations, with loan originations in excess of $40 million for the first half of 2010.

Sanborn, President and CEO. "Thanks are also due to Western Financial Corporation, who acted as Standby Placement Agent on our offering."
