Item 1.01                                            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 12, 2019, First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) issued $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), at a public offering price equal to 100% of the par value of the Notes pursuant to the previously announced registered offering of the Notes (the “Offering”).  The Company estimates that the net proceeds received from the sale of the Notes will total approximately $33.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of 3.15% and estimated expenses payable by the Company.

 

The Notes were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated June 5, 2019, to the prospectus dated August 16, 2017 that forms part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-219841) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The Notes were issued pursuant to a Subordinated Indenture, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated June 12, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. From and including June 12, 2019 to but excluding June 30, 2024, the Notes will bear interest at an initial rate of 6.0% per annum. From and including June 30, 2024 to but excluding the maturity date or the date of earlier redemption, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an annual interest rate equal to the to the then-current Benchmark Rate (initially three-month LIBOR rate) plus 4.114%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30, beginning September 30, 2019. The Notes were issued in denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.

 

The Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company. There is no sinking fund for the Notes. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the payment of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, including all of its general creditors, and they are structurally subordinated to all of the Company’s subsidiaries’ existing and future indebtedness and other obligations. The Notes are obligations of First Internet Bancorp only and are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company may, beginning with the interest payment date of June 30, 2024 and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes are each qualified by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, Supplemental Indenture and form of Global Note, copies of which are included as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

(i)            a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark Rate;

 

(ii)           a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark Rate, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark Rate, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark Rate; or

 

(iii)          a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark Rate announcing that the Benchmark Rate is no longer representative.

 

Benchmark Replacement Rate ” means the alternative reference rate selected by a central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) that is consistent with market practice regarding a substitute for Three-Month LIBOR (which may or may not be Secured Overnight Financing Rate selected by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the substitute for LIBOR) or the then-applicable Benchmark Rate, as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(v)  and calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(iv)  as of the applicable time on the Reset Rate Determination Date related to the applicable interest period.

rate does not appear on such page at such time (other than in connection with a Benchmark Rate Replacement Event), then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Company for this purpose and whose names and contact information will be provided by the Company to the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars with a term of three months as of 11:00 a m., London time, on such Reset Rate Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the relevant market at the relevant time as determined by the Company and provided to the Calculation Agent (a “ Representative Amount ”). If at least two such quotations are so provided, Three-Month LIBOR for the interest period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Company for this purpose and whose names and contact information will be provided by the Company to the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s rate for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks with a term of three months as of approximately 11:00 a m., New York City time, on such Reset Rate Determination Date and in a Representative Amount. If at least two such rates are so provided, Three-Month LIBOR for the interest period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then Three-Month LIBOR for the interest period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be set to equal the Three-Month LIBOR for the immediately preceding interest period or, in the case of the interest period commencing on the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, the coupon rate will be 5.0%.

 

(d)           Section 1.1 of the Base Indenture is amended and supplemented, solely with respect to the 2029 Notes, by replacing the corresponding defined term in the Base Indenture with the following defined term:

 

Senior Indebtedness  means: (i) the principal and any premium or interest for money borrowed or purchased by the Company; (ii) the principal and any premium or interest for money borrowed or purchased by another Person and guaranteed by the Company; (iii) any deferred obligation for the payment of the purchase price of property or assets evidenced by a note or similar instrument or agreement; (iv) any obligations to general and trade creditors; (v) any obligation arising from direct credit substitutes; (vi) any obligation associated with derivative products such as interest rate and currency rate exchange contracts or any similar arrangements, unless the instrument by which the Company incurred, assumed, or guaranteed the obligation expressly provides that it is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Company; and (vii) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) above of other persons or entities for the payment of which the Company is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, whether or not classified as a liability on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; in each case, whether outstanding on the date this Subordinated Indenture becomes effective, or created, assumed or incurred after that date. Senior Indebtedness excludes any indebtedness that: (a) expressly states that it is junior to, or ranks equally in right of payment with, the 2029 Notes; or (b) is identified as junior to, or equal in right of payment with, the 2029 Notes in any Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or in any supplemental indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Federal Reserve (or other competent regulatory agency or authority) promulgates any rule or issues any interpretation that

 


 

defines general creditor(s), the main purpose of which is to establish criteria for determining whether the subordinated debt of a financial or bank holding company is to be included in its capital, then the term “general creditors” as used in this definition will have the meaning as described in that rule or interpretation.

 

ARTICLE III
FORM AND TERMS OF THE 2029 NOTES

 

Section 3.01.         Form and Dating .

 

(a)           The 2029 Notes shall be substantially in the form of  Exhibit A  attached hereto.

The 2029 Notes may have a legend or legends or endorsements as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules of any securities exchange or usage. The 2029 Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.

 

(b)           The terms contained in the 2029 Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

 

Section 3.02.         Terms of the 2029 Notes . The following terms relating to the 2029 Notes are hereby established:

 

(a)           Title . The 2029 Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “First Internet Bancorp 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029” and the CUSIP number 320557 309.

 

(b)           Principal Amount . The aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, as amended hereby, shall be Thirty Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) on the Issue Date. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2029 Notes, the Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the 2029 Notes in all respects and so that such additional 2029 Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with, and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as, the 2029 Notes initially issued, provided that such additional 2029 Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the 2029 Notes.

 

(c)           Person to Whom Interest is Payable . Interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name the 2029 Notes are registered for such interest at the close of business on the 15 th  day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day; provided that any interest payable on the Maturity Date will be paid to the person to whom the Principal is paid. Any such interest which is payable, but not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall cease to be payable to the Holder on such relevant record date by virtue of having been a Holder on such date, and such defaulted interest may be paid by the Company to the person in whose name the 2029 Note is registered at the close of

 


 

business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of 2029 Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date that complies with Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the 2029 Notes may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange and in compliance with the Base Indenture.

 

(d)           Maturity Date . The entire outstanding Principal of the 2029 Notes shall be payable on June 30, 2029 (the “ Maturity Date ”).

 

(e)           Interest .

 

(i)            The 2029 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum from and including June 12, 2019 to, but excluding, June 30, 2024 (the “ Fixed Rate Period ”). Interest accrued on the 2029 Notes during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2019 (each such date a “ Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date ”). The interest payable during the Fixed Rate Period will be paid to each Holder in whose name a 2029 Note is registered for such interest at the close of business on the 15 th  day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month immediately preceding the applicable Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “ Fixed Rate Regular Record Date ”).

 

(ii)           The 2029 Notes will bear a floating interest rate from and including June 30, 2024 to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date (the “ Floating Rate Period ”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Rate Period shall be equal to the Benchmark Rate plus 4.114% (the “ Benchmark Rate Margin ”). During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the 2029 Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year commencing on June 30, 2024 through the Maturity Date or Redemption Date (each such date, a “ Floating Rate Interest Payment Date ”, together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “ Interest Payment Date ”). The interest payable during the Floating Rate Period will be paid to each Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business for such interest on the 15 th  day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month immediately preceding the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “ Floating Rate Regular Record Date ”).

 

(iii)          The amount of interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months up to, but excluding June 30, 2024, and, the amount of interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for the 2029 Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (any payment made on such date will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date); provided that , in the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Interest

 


 

Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to but excluding such Business Day. Dollar amounts resulting from interest calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

 

(iv)          The Company agrees that for so long as any of the 2029 Notes are outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate the Benchmark Rate in respect of each Floating Rate Period (the “ Calculation Agent ”). The calculation of the Benchmark Rate for each applicable Floating Rate Period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and hereunder. The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association, as Calculation Agent for the purposes of determining the Benchmark Rate for each Floating Interest Period and U.S. Bank National Association accepts the appointment. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent, which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed; provided that , if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Company and such successor accepted such position within 30 days after the giving of notice of resignation by the Calculation Agent, the resigning Calculation Agent may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. The Calculation Agent’s calculation of the amount of any interest payable after the first Reset Rate Determination Date will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices.

 

(v)           If the Company determines in its sole discretion that a Benchmark Rate Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Rate Replacement Date have occurred prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, on a Reset Rate Determination Date, then, subject to this Section 3.02(e)(v) , the Benchmark Replacement Rate will replace the then-current Benchmark Rate for all purposes relating to the 2029 Notes with respect to the Floating Rate Period.

 

(A)          The Company shall notify the Calculation Agent in writing of any such determination that a Benchmark Rate Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Rate Replacement Date have occurred as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

(B)          In connection with the implementation of the Benchmark Replacement Rate, the Company may make or instruct the Calculation Agent to make, from time to time, any technical, administrative, operational or other changes and adjustments (including changes and adjustments to the Benchmark Replacement Rate, the Benchmark Rate Margin, the Reset Rate Determination Date, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making interest payments, business day conventions, and rounding of amounts or tenors) that the Company determines to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement Rate in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no such market practice exists, in such other manner as the Company determines is reasonably necessary) (the “ Benchmark

 


 

Replacement Rate Conforming Changes ”). The Company shall notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the Benchmark Replacement Rate and such Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

(C)          All determinations, decisions, elections and calculations made by the Company (or the Calculation Agent at the direction of the Company) pursuant to this Section 3.02(e)(v) , including as to occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, and any Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes, may be made in the Company’s sole discretion, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein relating to the 2029 Notes, shall become effective without the consent of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Holders of the 2029 Notes.

 

(D)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that there is no alternative reference rate selected by a central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) that is consistent with market practice regarding a substitute for Three-Month LIBOR or the then-applicable Benchmark Rate, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint an independent financial advisor to determine an appropriate Benchmark Replacement Rate and any Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes, and the decision of such independent financial advisor shall be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee, and the Holders of the 2029 Notes.

 

(E)           If a Benchmark Rate Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Rate Replacement Date have occurred and, for any reason, the Calculation Agent has not been notified of the Benchmark Replacement Rate on or prior to a Reset Rate Determination Date, then for purposes of such Reset Rate Determination Date and each Reset Rate Determination Date thereafter until the Company has notified the Calculation Agent of the Benchmark Replacement Rate, the 2029 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(i) ; provided that , from and after the first Reset Rate Determination Date after the Company has notified the Calculation Agent of the Benchmark Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(v)(B) , the Benchmark Replacement Rate (and any associated Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes) shall apply.

 

(F)           If a Benchmark Rate Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Rate Replacement Date have occurred and, for any reason, the Calculation Agent has not been notified of the Benchmark Replacement Rate, the Calculation Agent shall have no liability to the Company, the Holders or to any third party as a result of losses suffered by such parties due to the lack of an applicable rate of interest, and Calculation Agent shall be under no obligation to act in such event or otherwise determine the relevant alternate applicable rate of interest until such time as the Calculation Agent has received written notice from the Company of the Benchmark Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(v)(B) .

 

(f)            Place of Payment of Principal and Interest . So long as the 2029 Notes shall be issued in global form, the Company shall make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, all

 


 

 

payments of principal and interest on the 2029 Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository. If the 2029 Notes are not in global form, the Company, may, at its option, make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, payments of principal and interest on the 2029 Notes by check mailed to the address of the person specified for payment in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(i) and (e)(ii) . A global security with respect to the 2029 Notes shall be exchangeable for physical securities of such series only if:

 

·                                           The U.S. Depository is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as a depository or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so notified in writing;

 

·                                           The Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global securities shall be so exchangeable (and the Trustee consents thereto); or

 

·                                           An Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the global securities and a Holder requests such exchange.

6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029” (herein called the “ Notes ”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000 on June 12, 2019. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “ Base Indenture ”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “ Trustee ,” which term includes any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “ First Supplemental Indenture ”) and the Second Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of June 12, 2019 (the “ Second Supplemental Indenture ,” and the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “ Indenture ”), to which Indenture and any other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Persons in whose names Notes are registered from time to time and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “ Trust Indenture Act ”), and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern to the extent that such terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

 

All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. To the extent that any capitalized term used in this Note and defined herein is also defined in the Indenture but conflicts with the definition provided in the Indenture, the definition of the capitalized term in this Note shall control.

 

The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date hereof or hereafter incurred, and on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and shall rank  pari passu  in right of payment with all other Securities and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company and not by its terms subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of types that include the Notes. Each Holder of this Note, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided.

 


 

The Notes are intended to be treated as Tier 2 capital (or its then-equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies) (the “ Federal Reserve Board ”) as then in effect and applicable to the Company. If an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest owed on this Note shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article VI of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02(k) and (o) of the Second Supplemental Indenture.  Accordingly, the Holder of this Note has no right to accelerate the maturity of this Note in the event that the Company fails to pay principal of or interest or Additional Amounts on any of the Notes, or fails to perform any other covenant, warranty or other obligations under any of the Notes or in the Indenture that are applicable to this Note.

 

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest (the “ Redemption Price ”) to but excluding, the date of redemption (the “ Redemption Date ”), on any Interest Payment Date on or after June 30, 2024. The Company may also, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Stated Maturity Date, in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any such redemption will be at a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company. No redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date shall be made without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such prior approval is or will be required at the scheduled Redemption Date. The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02(g) of the Second Supplemental Indenture shall apply to the redemption of the Notes by the Company.

 

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Notes are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Benchmark Rate is subject to replacement by the Benchmark Replacement Rate and the calculation of interest on the Notes is subject to the Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes in accordance with the Second Supplemental Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 


 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Register described in Section 2.7 of the Base Indenture, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $25 and any integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.

 

The Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

This Security is a global note, represented by one or more permanent global certificates registered in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (each a “ Global Note ” and collectively, the “ Global Notes ”). Accordingly, unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by The Depository Trust Company (the “ Depositary ”) to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any nominee to a successor Depositary or any nominee of such successor. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of persons that have accounts with the Depositary (“ Participants ”)) and the records of Participants (with respect to interests of persons other than Participants). Beneficial interests in Notes owned by persons that hold through Participants will be evidenced only by, and transfers of such beneficial interests with such Participants will be effected only through, records maintained by such Participants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Note will not be entitled to have any individual certificates and will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture.

 

Except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Base Indenture, Participants and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Notes in the form of Individual Securities and will not be considered Holders of Notes. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent or any of their respective agents will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee or any direct or indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent and each of their respective agents may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Notes to be issued.

 

Except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture, beneficial owners of Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in the form of Individual

 


 

Securities, and no Global Note will be exchangeable except for another Global Note of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such person is not a Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Notes.

 

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes represented by a Global Note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because the Depositary can act only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest in Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the Depositary’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Notes by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to the Notes.

 

The Trustee will act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Notes through its Corporate Trust Office presently located at 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107. The Company may at any time rescind the designation of a Paying Agent, appoint a successor Paying Agent, or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts.

 

Notices to the Holders of registered Notes in the form of Individual Securities will be given to such Holders at their respective addresses in the Register, or in the case of Global Notes, electronic delivery in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by the Holders of Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Exhibit 5.1

 

June 12, 2019

 

First Internet Bancorp
11201 USA Parkway
Fishers, Indiana 46037

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to First Internet Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the prospectus supplement dated June 5, 2019 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the prospectus dated August 16, 2017 (together, with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”) relating to the offer and sale by the Company, pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated June 5, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, First Internet Bank of Indiana and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), of $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), together with up to $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes for which the Underwriters have been granted an option to purchase (collectively, the “Offered Securities”).  The Prospectus forms a part of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-219841) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which was declared effective by the Commission on August 16, 2017.

 

This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.

 

Any Offered Securities will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated June 12, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, and distributed pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

 

We have examined or are otherwise familiar with the Articles of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, and the corporate actions taken in connection with the Indenture and the issuance of the Offered Securities. We have also examined (i) the Registration Statement, together with the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein; (ii) the Prospectus; (iii) the Indenture; (iv) executed copies of the global notes evidencing the Offered Securities; (v) the Underwriting Agreement; and (vi) such other instruments, documents, certificates and records that we have deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinions hereinafter expressed.

 


 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Offered Securities, upon issuance and delivery against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and upon having been duly authenticated by the Trustee, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of (a) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, receivership or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect, (b) general equity principles including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c) limitations by any governmental authority that limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside of the United States, and (d) generally applicable laws that (i) provide for the enforcement of oral waivers or modifications where a material change of position in reliance thereon has occurred or provide that a course of performance may operate as a waiver; (ii) limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; (iii) limit the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct; (iv) may, where less than all of a contract may be unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the balance of the contract to circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the agreed exchange; (v) govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys’ fees and other costs; (vi) may permit a party who has materially failed to render or offer performance required by a contract to cure that failure unless either permitting a cure would unreasonably hinder the aggrieved party from making substitute arrangements for performance or it is important under the circumstances to the aggrieved party that performance occur by the date stated in the contract; (vii) may limit the enforceability of provisions for the payment of premiums upon mandatory prepayment to the extent any such payment constitutes, or is deemed to constitute, a penalty or forfeiture; (viii) may require mitigation of damages; and (ix) provide a time limitation after which a remedy may not be enforced (i.e., statutes of limitation). As contemplated by the foregoing qualifications, in rendering the foregoing opinion, we are expressing no opinion as to federal or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers.

 

We have relied as to certain relevant facts upon certificates of, and/or information provided by, officers and employees of the Company as to the accuracy of such factual matters without independent verification thereof or other investigation. We have also relied, without investigation, upon the following assumptions: (i) natural persons acting on behalf of the Company have sufficient legal capacity to enter into and perform, on behalf of the Company, the transaction in question; (ii) each party to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreements or instruments enforceable against it; (iii) each party to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce such agreements or instruments against the Company; (iv) each document submitted to us for review is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, and all signatures on each such document are genuine; (v) there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence; (vi) all statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of governmental agencies, constituting the law of the opining jurisdictions, are publicly available to lawyers practicing in Indiana; (vii) the conduct of the parties to or having rights under any instrument or agreement relevant hereto has complied with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability; (viii) all relevant statutes, rules, regulations or agency actions are constitutional and valid unless a reported decision in the opining jurisdictions has

specifically addressed but not resolved, or has established, its unconstitutionality or invalidity; and (ix) there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the agreements or instruments relevant hereto.

 

We express no opinion concerning any law other than the laws of the State of Indiana and the State of New York and we express no opinion as to the effect of any other laws.

 

This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above and is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and to facts and laws existing on the date hereof, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Prospectus, the Indenture or the Offered Securities.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed with the Commission on June 12, 2019 and to being named in the Prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters” with respect to the matters stated therein without implying or admitting that we are “experts” within the meaning of the Securities Act, or other rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this exhibit.

 

 

Very truly yours,
