The Federal Reserve Board said Thursday that it issued a prompt corrective action directive after the $203 million-asset bank failed to submit an acceptable plan to recapitalize itself.

The directive, dated May 8, gave Community Bank 30 days to find a buyer or raise capital some other way.

Regulators deemed the bank undercapitalized on March 2.

According to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the bank had a total risk-based capital ratio of 5.89% at the end of the first quarter.

That ratio typically needs to be 8% for a bank to be adquately capitalized and 10% for it to be well capitalized.
