Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 2, 2021, CBTX, Inc. (the “Company”) was informed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) that it would terminate the formal agreement, dated June 18, 2020 (the “Formal Agreement”), between the Company’s subsidiary bank, CommunityBank of Texas, N.A. (the “Bank”). On September 7, 2021, the OCC terminated the Formal Agreement.
The execution of the Formal Agreement and a summary of the material terms thereof were disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 19, 2020, which summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the Formal Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 thereto. The information contained under Item 1.01 of such Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference, including the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements therein. Although the Formal Agreement is terminated, it remains possible that regulatory agencies, including the OCC or Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of Treasury which has been investigating the Bank’s compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering regulations, could take additional action or impose additional measures, potentially including civil money penalties and fines. Please see the risks described in Part I—Item 1A.—Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to such future events. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company’s control. These statements include the potential for civil money penalties and its effect on the Company, the Bank, and their financial performance and results of operations. Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, including the risk that the OCC and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of Treasury, or FinCEN, may impose civil money penalties or other penalties, or that the costs, effects and results of other regulatory examinations, investigations, including the ongoing investigation by FinCEN, may influence such decision or may have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance and results of operations, may increase regulatory risks and the costs, effects, and results of regulatory examinations, or may negatively impact the ability to pay future dividends, or the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals. There are or will be important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks described in Part I—Item 1A.—Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2021 and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
