Bank of Florida Corporation Responds to Nasdaq Audit.


NAPLES, Fla. -- Bank of Florida Corporation (Nasdaq:BOFL), a $1.3 billion-asset multi-bank holding company based in Naples, Florida, today reported that the Company had received a letter of reprimand from Nasdaq regarding the Company's failure to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350. The letter also acknowledges that the Company took corrective action promptly upon its realization that it had fallen out of compliance.

Chief Executive Officer and President Michael L. McMullan stated that, "Our noncompliance was wholly inadvertent and, in fact, Nasdaq specifically stated 'that the failure does not appear to have been the result of a deliberate intent to avoid compliance and, further the Company acted promptly to cure the deficiency'. Based on these statements and our prompt internal action to remedy the deficiency, we do not see the regulatory justification for Nasdaq's issuing the letter at this time."

The cited noncompliance with Rule 4350 concerned the prior service of a director, deemed to not be independent, on the Company's Audit and Nominating Committees. The director was deemed to be not independent due to his management of a limited liability company which owns the Company's main office. The Company and the limited liability company entered into their lease in 2002 and its terms have not changed since that time. The lease is on fair market terms and complies with all relevant banking regulations.
