Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (the “Company”) maintains the Retirement Savings Plan for Employees of Seacoast National Bank (the “Plan”), which is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Form 11-K”) by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Plan has experienced unanticipated delays in preparing the Form 11-K, primarily as a result of certain amendments to the Plan that were adopted during the fiscal year. The Retirement Savings Plan Committee expects that it and the Plan’s independent accountants will be able to complete the work described above in time for the Plan to file its Form 11-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date, or July 13, 2016.
