Oregon Pacific Bancorp (OTCM: ORPB), the holding company for Oregon Pacific Bank, is pleased to announce the completion of a private placement of $15 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (the “Notes”) to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors.

The Notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital instruments for regulatory capital purposes. Oregon Pacific Bancorp President and CEO, Ron Green stated, “We are very pleased to have successfully completed this subordinated debt issuance at favorable pricing. We anticipate that the majority of the net proceeds of the private placement will be distributed to Oregon Pacific Bank and will be used for strategic opportunities that should create long-term value for our clients, shareholders and staff, [in addition to general corporate purposes].” Performance Trust Capital Partners served as sole placement agent. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP and White Summers Caffee & James, LLP, served as legal counsel to the Company, and Keller Rohrback, LLP, served as legal counsel for the placement agent.
