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. At the end of the 2nd quarter the bank's capital levels will still remain well above the FDIC's "well-capitalized" level as estimated below:

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.

"We were extremely pleased with the response to our offering as it confirmed what we knew to be true; investors believed our plan to fix the bank's problems is working, and our growth and revenue machine is propelling us forward," stated Richard M. Sanborn, President and CEO. "Thanks are also due to Western Financial Corporation, who acted as Standby Placement Agent on our offering."
