On April 22, 2010, Eurobank, a
subsidiary of EuroBancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into agreements with
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) in connection with the settlement of certain
regulatory compliance matters. The agreements address Eurobank’s compliance with
the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and primarily relate to certain deficiencies in
Eurobank’s anti-money laundering program that occurred between April 2005 and
December 2008.
The Agreements consist of the
following:
|
·
|
Stipulation
and Consent to the Issuance of Order to Pay by and between Eurobank and
the FDIC, under which Eurobank consented to the FDIC’s issuance of an
Order to Pay $25,000 in civil money penalties (the “FDIC Agreement”);
and
|
|
·
|
Consent
to the Assessment of Civil Money Penalty by and between Eurobank and
FinCEN, under which Eurobank consented to FinCEN’s assessment of $25,000
in civil money penalties (the “FinCEN
Agreement”)
|
The civil money penalties issued under
the FDIC Agreement and the FinCEN Agreement were concurrent and satisfied by a
single payment of $25,000 by Eurobank to the United States Department of the
Treasury on April 22, 2010.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
