INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 1. to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by Surrey Bancorp, a North Carolina corporation, pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13e-3 thereunder. We are proposing that our shareholders adopt an amendment to our articles of incorporation, which provides for the creation of a new class of capital stock, Class A common stock, and the reclassification of each share of common stock held by holders of less than 300 shares of common stock into a share of Class A common stock; provided, however, that holders of less than 300 shares of common stock may elect to receive $12.75 for each share of common stock held by them rather than receiving shares of Class A common stock. Our shareholders of record who hold 300 or more shares of common stock prior to the reclassification will continue to hold the same number of shares of common stock following the reclassification. The effect of the reclassification will be to reduce the number of shareholders of record of common stock to less than 1,200, which will allow us to terminate our reporting obligations.
This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission concurrently with a preliminary proxy statement filed by Surrey Bancorp pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the holders of the common stock will be given notice of the annual meeting at which they will be asked to approve the reclassification, and to transact any other business properly brought before the annual meeting. The proxy statement that is incorporated by reference herein is the proxy statement on Schedule 14A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March __, 2016, as may be amended.
The information contained in the proxy statement is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference and the responses to each item are qualified in their entirety by reference to the information contained in the proxy statement.
