EXPLANATORY NOTE

     On February 22, 2008, Alabama National BanCorporation (the “Company”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with RBC Centura Banks, Inc. (the “Buyer”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 5, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Buyer and Royal Bank of Canada (the “Parent”). As a result of the Merger, the Company’s separate corporate existence ceased and all shares of Company stock have been canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of the Buyer or a cash payment. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the Alabama National BanCorporation Employee Capital Accumulation Plan (the “Plan”) was terminated.

     In light of the foregoing, the Company has filed a post-effective amendment on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to terminate the offering of unsold shares of common stock and related plan interests offered to employees under the Plan, and the Plan is filing this Form 15 with the Commission to deregister the plan interests which are deemed to be offered in connection with the former opportunity to invest in the Company’s common stock. Upon filing, the Plan’s obligation to prepare and file with the Commission an annual report on Form 11-K will be suspended pending the effectiveness of the Form 15.
