Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 27, 2016, First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) and First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., as representative of the underwriters named therein, to issue and sell $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), at a public offering price equal to 100% of the par value of the Notes (the “Offering”).  The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $23,737,500, after deducting underwriting discounts of 3.15% and expenses that are payable by the Company.  The Offering closed on September 30, 2016.  As a part of the Offering, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $3,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes at the initial price to public less the underwriting discounts.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants between the parties as of the date of entering into the Underwriting Agreement. These representations, warranties and covenants are not representations of factual information to investors about the Company or its subsidiaries, and the sale of any Notes pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is not a representation that there has not been any change in the condition of the Company.  A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Notes were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated September 27, 2016, to the prospectus dated January 4, 2016 that forms part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-208748) 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 First Supplemental Indenture, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. From and including September 30, 2016 to but excluding September 30, 2021, the Notes will bear interest at an initial rate of 6.0% per annum. From and including September 30, 2021 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 then-current three-month LIBOR rate plus 4.85%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the three-month LIBOR is less than zero, three-month LIBOR will be deemed to be zero. The Notes will be 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 September 30, 2021 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 Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes are each qualified by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, form of Base Indenture, form of Supplemental Indenture and form of Notes, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
