CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

 

 

ITEM 8.01OTHER EVENTS.

 

On November 9, 2015, Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“Mid Penn”) entered into agreements with investors to purchase $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of its Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”).  The Notes, when issued, will be treated as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.  Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about December 9, 2015.

 

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.15% per year for the first five years and then float at the Wall Street Journal’s Prime Rate plus 0.50%, provided that the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance will at no times be less than 4.0%.  Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2016. The Notes will mature on December 9, 2025 and are redeemable in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time on or after December 9, 2020, and prior to December 9, 2025.  Additionally, Mid Penn may redeem the Notes in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon at least 30 days notice if:  (i) a change or prospective change in law occurs that could prevent Mid Penn from deducting interest payable on the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) an event occurs that precludes the Notes from being recognized as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes; or (iii) Mid Penn becomes required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in each case at 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of redemption.

 

Holders of the Notes may not accelerate the maturity of the Notes, except upon Mid Penn’s or Mid Penn Bank, its principal banking subsidiary’s, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership or similar event.

 

Also on November 9, 2015, Mid Penn called for redemption all of its issued and outstanding shares of 7% Non-Cumulative, Non-Voting, Non-Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) on December 9, 2015, at a price equal to $1,024.67 per share, which is equal to $1,020.00 per share plus an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption.

 

Mid Penn intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the Notes to redeem the Series B Preferred Shares with the balance available for general corporate purposes, including the redemption, if approved by the appropriate federal banking regulators, of all of its issued and outstanding shares of its Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, which are held by the U.S. Department of Treasury and issued pursuant to its Small Business Lending Fund program.
