Item 1.01 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

 

On October 26, 2020, First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor that is also a qualified institutional buyer (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold by the Company in a private placement transaction in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Note to redeem its existing term note in the principal amount of $10.0 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.4375% per annum and is scheduled to mature on October 1, 2025. Subject to the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals, the redemption of the term note is expected to be completed on or before January 15, 2021.

 

The 2030 Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank, N.A., as trustee, as amended and supplemented, including by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 26, 2020 (collectively, the “Indenture”). The 2030 Notes are scheduled to mature on November 1, 2030. The 2030 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.

 

The 2030 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum from and including October 26, 2020, to, but excluding, November 1, 2025 (the “Fixed Rate Period”). Interest accrued on the 2030 Notes during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2021 and ending on November 1, 2025. The 2030 Notes will bear a floating interest rate from and including November 1, 2025 to, the maturity date or the date of earlier redemption (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly and will initially be equal to the Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined in the Indenture) plus 5.795%. The Company may, at its option, redeem the 2030 Notes (i) in whole or in part beginning with the interest payment date of November 1, 2025, and on any interest payment date thereafter, or (ii) in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain other events. Any such redemption is subject to the receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital adequacy rules or regulations. The 2030 Notes are general unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and will be senior to the Company’s obligations relating to any junior subordinated debt securities issued to the Company’s subsidiary trusts.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture, the 2030 Notes, and the Note Purchase Agreement are each qualified by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements with respect to the uses of proceeds and timing of a proposed redemption of outstanding indebtedness. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “expect” and “intend,” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance or results, are based on information available at the time the statements are made and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the information in the forward-looking statements. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in deterioration of general business and economic conditions and continued to impact us, our customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers. Sustained deterioration in market conditions could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit and further increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. The ultimate magnitude and duration of the pandemic is still unknown at this time, therefore, the extent of the impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and prospects remains uncertain. Other factors that may cause such differences include: failures or breaches of or interruptions in the communications and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business; failure of our plans to grow our commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, public finance, SBA and healthcare finance loan portfolios; competition with national, regional and community financial institutions; the loss of any key members of senior management; fluctuations in interest rates; general economic conditions; risks relating to the regulation of financial institutions; and other factors identified in reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements in this report, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

  2  

 

 

Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first of the following alternatives (in the order in which such alternatives appear) that can be determined by the Company as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

Benchmark Replacement Compounded SOFR” means the compounded average of Daily SOFR rates for the applicable Corresponding Tenor, with the rate and/or methodology and conventions for the rate being established by the Company (i) in accordance with the rate and/or methodology and conventions for the rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining Benchmark Replacement Compounded SOFR or (ii) if and to the extent the Company determines that Benchmark Replacement Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with clause (i), then in accordance with the rate and/or methodology and conventions for the rate that have been selected by the Company giving due consideration to any industry-accepted market practice for U.S. dollar-denominated floating-rate notes at such time.

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.

(b)    Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, as amended hereby, shall be Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) on the Issue Date. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2030 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 2030 Notes in all respects and so that such additional 2030 Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with, and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as, the 2030 Notes initially issued, provided that such additional 2030 Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the 2030 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 2030 Notes are registered for such interest at the close of business on the 15th 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 2030 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 2030 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 2030 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 2030 Notes shall be payable on November 1, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

(e)    Interest.

 

(i)       The 2030 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum from and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, November 1, 2025 (the “Fixed Rate Period”). Interest accrued on the 2030 Notes during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2021 and ending on November 1, 2025 (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 2030 Note is registered for such interest at the close of business on the 15th 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 2030 Notes will bear a floating interest rate from and including November 1, 2025 to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date (the “Floating Rate Period”). As long as the Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, the interest rate for the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the Benchmark plus 5.795% and will be reset quarterly. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the 2030 Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year commencing on February 1, 2026 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 15th 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”).

 

  8  

 

 

(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, November 1, 2025 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 2030 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 2030 Notes are outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate the Benchmark in respect of the Floating Rate Period (the “Calculation Agent”). The calculation of the Benchmark for the 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 for the 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 during the Floating Rate Period will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices.

 

(v)       At least 10 days prior to the commencement of the Floating Rate Period, the Company shall, and from time to time during the Floating Rate Period while Three-Month Term SOFR is the applicable Benchmark, the Company may notify the Calculation Agent in writing of any Term SOFR Conventions with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR; provided that, with respect to any Interest Payment Date, the Calculation Agent shall not be required to implement any Three-Month SOFR Conventions with respect to which the Calculation Agent was first notified on or after the second Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date.

 

If the Company determines in its sole discretion that a Benchmark Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark during the Floating Rate Period, then, subject to this Section 3.02(e)(v), the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the 2030 Notes in respect of such Benchmark setting and each subsequent Benchmark setting.

 

  9  

 

 

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

 

(B)      In connection with the implementation of the Benchmark Replacement, the Company may make or instruct the Calculation Agent to make, from time to time Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Company shall notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the Benchmark Replacement and such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes as soon as reasonably practicable; provided that, with respect to any Interest Payment Date, the Calculation Agent shall not be required to implement any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to which the Calculation Agent was first notified on or after the second Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date.

 

(C)      All determinations, decisions, elections and calculations made by 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 Term SOFR Conventions and Benchmark Replacement 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 2030 Notes, shall become effective without the consent of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Holders of the 2030 Notes.

 

(D)      If a Benchmark Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred and, for any reason, the Calculation Agent has not been notified of the Benchmark Replacement at least two (2) Business Days prior to the next applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, then for purposes of next Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date thereafter until the Company has notified the Calculation Agent of the Benchmark Replacement, the 2030 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the interest rate set for the interest payment made on the last Floating-Rate Interest Payment Date prior to such Benchmark Replacement Event; provided that, from and after the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date that is more than two (2) Business Days after the Company has notified the Calculation Agent of the Benchmark Replacement in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(v)(B), the Benchmark Replacement shall apply.

 

(F)       If a Benchmark Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred and, for any reason, the Calculation Agent has not been notified of the Benchmark Replacement, 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 in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(v)(B).

 

(f)          Place of Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company, may, at its option, make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, payments of principal and interest on the 2030 Notes by check mailed to the address of the person specified for payment in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(i) and (e)(ii).

 

  10  

 

 

(g)     Redemption. The 2030 Notes shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date beginning with the Interest Payment Date on November 1, 2025, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is required under the rules of the Federal Reserve. The 2030 Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2030 Notes before the Maturity Date in whole but not in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or 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 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date fixed by the Company. The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the 2030 Notes pursuant to this Article 3. If any 2030 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such 2030 Note shall state that it is a partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The 2030 Notes are not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (e), (f) or (h) of Section 6.1 (as amended herein) of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal amount of all of the outstanding 2030 Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2030 Notes and premium, if any, shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the 2030 Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture.

 

(l)      Stated Maturity. The principal of the 2030 Notes shall be payable on the Maturity Date, subject to acceleration as provided under the Indenture.

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 2030” (herein called the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 on October 26, 2020.

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.

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 Third 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.

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 Third 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 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 in minimum denominations of $250,000 and any integral multiples of $250,000 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.
