LANSING, Mich., and PHOENIX, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Capitol Bancorp Limited (NYSE:CBC) ("Capitol") announced today that it has terminated its exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Capitol Development Bancorp Limited III, Capitol Development Bancorp Limited IV, Capitol Development Bancorp Limited V and Capitol Development Bancorp Limited VI (each a "CDBL" and collectively, the "CDBLs") without accepting for exchange or exchanging any shares of the common stock of any of the CDBLs. The Exchange Offer was subject to several conditions, including the conditions set forth in items (a) and (d) on page 59 of the prospectus relating to the Exchange Offer.
