Highlight of Business Operations:
MetroBank was organized in 1987 by Don J. Wang, the Company s current Chairman of the Board, and five other Asian-American small business owners, three of whom currently serve as directors of the Company and MetroBank. The organizers perceived that the financial needs of various ethnic groups in Houston were not being adequately served and sought to provide modern banking products and services that accommodated the cultures of the businesses operating in these communities. In 1989, MetroBank expanded its service philosophy to Houston s Hispanic community by acquiring from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) the assets and liabilities of a community bank located in a primarily Hispanic section of Houston. This acquisition broadened MetroBank s market and increased its assets from approximately $30.0 million to approximately $100.0 million. Other than this acquisition, MetroBank has accomplished its growth internally through the establishment of de novo branches in various market areas. Since MetroBank s formation in 1987, it has established numerous branches in the greater Houston metropolitan area and currently has nine banking offices in Houston. In 1996, MetroBank expanded into the Dallas metropolitan area, and currently has four banking offices in the area.Although the accounts of MCBI Trust I are not included in the Company s consolidated financial statements, the $35.0 million in trust preferred securities issued by this subsidiary trust is included in the Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.
