Item 1.03: Bankruptcy or Receivership

On June 15, 2010 Corus Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) (Proposed Case No. 10-26881) (the “Case”).

Item 2.04: Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

The filing of the Chapter 11 Case described in Item 1.03 above constituted an event of default or otherwise triggered repayment obligations under a number of instruments and agreements relating to direct and indirect financial obligations of the Company (the “Debt Documents”).
