Central Valley Files to Register Shares

Central Valley Community Bancorp in Fresno, Calif., filed Tuesday to register roughly 1.3 million shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The shares were sold, but not registered, in a December offering that raised roughly $8 million for the $765 million-asset company, said Daniel J. Doyle, its president and chief executive officer.

Central Valley Community received a $7 million investment through the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program. The capital-raising effort enabled the company to eliminate the unvested warrants that were held by the Treasury Department.

Last year Central Valley's earnings fell 56%, to $2.2 million. The decline was primarily the result of larger provisions for loan losses.

The company had a $10.2 million provision in 2009, up 41% from the provision in 2008.
