Senior Debt

In

December

of

2015,

the Holding Company entered into a senior debt loan agreement to borrow

$10.0

million from another financial institution

. The original loan terms required monthly principal installments of

$83

thousand, plus accrued and unpaid interest, commencing on

January 1, 2016,

continuing to, and including

December 10, 2020

and a final scheduled payment of

$5.0

million due on the maturity date of

December 10, 2020.

The loan

may

be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without any prepayment penalty. The principal amount of the loan bears interest at a variable rate, resetting monthly that is equal to the sum of the current

three

-month LIBOR plus

400

basis points. In

December

of

2015,

the Holding Company incurred senior debt issuance costs of

$15

thousand, which are being amortized over the life of the loan as additional interest expense. The loan is secured by a pledge from the Holding Company of all of the outstanding stock of Redding Bank of Commerce.

Subordinated Debt

In

December

of

2015,

the Holding Company issued

$10.0

million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating rate

Subordinated Notes due in

2025.

The Subordinated Debt initially bears interest at

6.88%

per annum for a

five

-year term, payable semi-annually. Thereafter, interest on the Subordinated Debt will be paid at a variable rate equal to

three

month LIBOR plus

526

basis points, payable quarterly until the maturity date. In

December

of

2015,

the Holding Company incurred subordinated debt issuance costs of

$210

thousand, which are being amortized over the initial

five

-year-term as additional interest expense.

The

Subordinated Debt is subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all existing and future claims of creditors and depositors of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, whether now outstanding or subsequently created. The Subordinated Debt ranks equally with all other unsecured subordinated debt, except any which by its terms is expressly stated to be subordinated to the Subordinated Debt. The Subordinated Debt ranks senior to all future junior subordinated debt obligations, preferred stock and common stock of the Holding Company. The Subordinated Debt is recorded as term debt on the Holding Company’s balance sheet; however, for regulatory purposes, it is treated as Tier

2

capital by the Holding Company.

The

Subordinated Debt will mature on

December 10, 2025

but

may

be prepaid at the Holding Company’s option and with regulatory approval at any time on or after

five

years after the Closing Date or at any time upon certain events, such as a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Subordinated Debt or the interest on the Subordinated Debt is

no

longer deductible by the Holding Company for United States federal income tax purposes.
