Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events

On May 3, 2011, Santa Lucia Bancorp’s (the “Company’s”) (OTCBB: SLBA.OB) wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Lucia Bank (the “Bank”), agreed to a Consent Order (the “Order”) with the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) effective May 3, 2011. Among other things, the Order requires that the board of directors of the Bank develop, adopt and submit a plan to correct the Bank’s condition which could include objectives of either increasing the tangible shareholder’s equity or finding a strategic partner acceptable to the Commissioner of the DFI (the “Commissioner”). The Order further requires that within 90 days the Bank increase its shareholders’ equity by $12 million and thereafter, maintain its shareholder’s equity in an amount not less than 9% of the Bank’s total assets.

As previously disclosed, the Order was anticipated following a recent examination of the Bank by the DFI. Many of the requirements of the Order reflect recommendations or requirements that the Bank has been working on for some time. The Bank will continue its efforts to comply with all provisions of the Order. While the Bank is moving diligently to comply with the Order, there can be no assurance that full compliance will be achieved. As a result, the Bank could become subject to further regulatory restrictions or penalties.

For 26 years, the Bank has provided its customers with friendly, hometown services and state of the art banking products. The Bank expects to continue to serve its customers in all areas including making loans, establishing lines of credit, accepting deposits and processing banking transactions.
