| IV. Acquiring
Financial Institution |
| An assuming institution could not be located; therefore, the FDIC will fulfill its obligation to insured depositors by mailing checks for their insured amounts.
Principal and interest on insured accounts, through
Friday, December 18, 2009,
are fully insured by the FDIC, up to the insurance limit of $250,000. You
will receive full payment for your insured account. Certain entitlements
and different types of accounts can be insured for more than the $250,000
limit. IRA funds are insured separately from other types of accounts,
up to a $250,000 limit.
All interest bearing accounts that exceed the $250,000 insurance limit
and/or all interest bearing accounts that appear to be related and exceed
this limit are reviewed
by
the FDIC
to determine their ownership and insurance coverage. If you think
you might have uninsured deposits, you should call the FDIC Call Center
to
arrange for a telephone interview with a Claims Agent at
1-800-405-1604.
The Claim Agent may direct you to download and submit a particular
form that will assist in expediting the processing of your claim.

If it is determined that you have uninsured funds, the FDIC will generate
and mail to you a Receiver Certificate. This certificate entitles
you to share proportionately in any funds recovered through the disposal
of the assets of RockBridge Commercial Bank. This means that
you may eventually recover some of your uninsured funds.
To find out more about FDIC Deposit Insurance:
Your CD(s) will automatically be closed,
and you will receive a check up to the insured amount from the FDIC. You
will not be assessed an early withdrawal penalty. A
hold may be in place on deposit accounts due to delinquent loans where the

as collateral for a loan will be held. |
