Item 8.01 – Other Events
From time to time, Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) and/or its affiliates may be involved in information requests, reviews, investigations, and proceedings (both formal and informal) by various governmental agencies and law enforcement authorities regarding their respective businesses. Any of these matters may result in material adverse consequences to CTBI and its affiliates, including adverse judgments, findings, limitations on merger, and acquisition activity, settlements, fines, penalties, orders, injunctions, and other actions. Such adverse consequences may be material to the financial position of CTBI or its results of operations.
The Federal Reserve has made requests for information and is currently investigating Community Trust Bank’s (“CTB”) overdraft fee assessment methodology. On October 7, 2013, representatives of the Federal Reserve informed CTB that Federal Reserve staff is recommending that the Federal Reserve Division of Consumer and Community Affairs cite CTB for a violation based on an unfair and deceptive practice. CTBI continues to believe that CTB’s practices are neither unfair nor deceptive and are consistent with methodologies prevalent in the banking industry. If the Federal Reserve takes such action, it would likely result in one or more of the above-described material consequences. CTBI expects to recognize an accrual against earnings with respect to this matter, but cannot reasonably estimate the amount of such accrual until additional information is received from the Federal Reserve.
