Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 28, 2021, MVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”), the holding company for MVB Bank, Inc., entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold and issued $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued by the Company to the Purchasers at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. The Company intends to use the net proceeds it received from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes.
The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, on the other hand.
The Notes have a stated maturity of October 1, 2031 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.25% per year, from and including the original issue date of the Notes to October 1, 2026. From October 1, 2026 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly at a variable rate equal to the then current three-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus 254 basis points. As provided in the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes during the applicable floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than three-month term SOFR.
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 Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund and are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Prior to October 1, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Notes. On or after October 1, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, on any interest payment date. Any redemption by the Company would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to but excluding the date of redemption. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holder. Any redemption of the Notes will be subject to prior regulatory approval to the extent required.
Principal and interest on the Notes are subject to acceleration only in limited circumstances in the case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events with respect to the Company. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company, are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company, and rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.
The forms of the Purchase Agreement and the Note are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, and the Notes are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents.
