AMERIS BANCORP (NASDAQ-GS: ABCB), today announced the redemption, as of March 24, 2014, of the Company's remaining preferred stock originally issued under the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program, totaling $28 million.

Commenting on the redemption, Edwin W. Hortman, Jr., President and CEO of the Company, said, "This final redemption of the TARP preferred stock brings to a close an important strategy for Ameris. As the economic crisis began to unfold, we vigorously increased our capital levels and were in a position to benefit from opportunities during the downturn. This additional, relatively inexpensive equity, played a part in our willingness to maintain a growth-oriented strategy through a volatile economic period.
