Bank Of Florida Corporation Postpones Marketing of Public Offering

Bank of Florida Corp. (Nasdaq:BOFL), a $1.5 billion-asset multi-bank holding company based in Naples, Florida, announced today that as a result of current market conditions, the Company has postponed the marketing of its public offering. The Company’s offering remains in registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Chief Executive Officer and President Michael L. McMullan stated that “recent negative industry announcements, including unexpected third quarter losses reported by Florida-based bank holding companies that raised capital in the third quarter, has adversely impacted the capital raising environment. Although we had some positive discussions last week, it appears that public investors are back on the sidelines for the very near future.” Mr. McMullan added “we weren’t surprised by the comments we received about bank stocks last week, however, a public offering was an avenue we were encouraged to explore. While we have postponed marketing our offering, we will continue to monitor the public equity markets. Fortunately, we have also been working on other capital strategies for some time now and we will refocus our primary attention to those options.”

Bank of Florida Corp., incorporated in September 1998, is one of the six largest publicly traded commercial banks headquartered in Florida.
