Item 1.03  Bankruptcy or Receivership.
 
As previously reported, on December 18, 2009, Imperial Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of California, Case No. 09-19431-LA11 (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  As also previously reported, the Company and Holdco Advisors L.P. filed a proposed plan of reorganization (as amended, the “Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court.  On May 24, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Order”) confirming the Plan.  Copies of the Plan and the Order are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Plan will become effective upon satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent, including that (i) all actions other than the entry of the Order and all agreements, instruments or other documents necessary to implement the terms and provisions of the Plan shall have been effected, and in each case, shall have been duly and validly executed and delivered and all conditions to their effectiveness shall have been satisfied or waived and (ii) the Company shall have received all authorizations, consents, rulings, opinions, or other documents that are determined by the Company to be necessary to implement the Plan and that are required by law, regulation, or order.  The Company expects that the Plan will become effective in June 2012.

The Plan provides that all shares of the Company’s common stock that are outstanding prior to the effective date of the Plan shall be cancelled as of the effective date of the Plan. Based upon assets available for distribution, the Company expects that, after payment to the Company’s unsecured creditors, there will be no assets available for distribution to such holders of the Company’s common stock.  Following the Plan becoming effective, it is intended that a Form 15 will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister the Company’s common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to suspend its obligation to file reports under the Exchange Act.

According to the April 2012 monthly operating report of the Company submitted to the Office of the United States Trustee (a copy of which was furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 23, 2012), as of April 30, 2012, the Company had total assets of $37.3 million and total liabilities of $99.8 million.

    This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements which may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Federal securities laws.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved.  Forward-looking information is subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  For forward-looking statements herein, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other protections under the Federal securities laws.  The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
