TRISTATE CAPITAL RAISES $35 MILLION IN NEW CAPITAL
THROUGH COMPLETION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SUBORDINATED DEBT
PITTSBURGH, June 9, 2014 - TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSC) completed a private placement of subordinated debt, raising $35 million in new capital.
The subordinated notes bear a fixed interest rate of 5.75 % per annum and mature on July 1, 2019. The proceeds qualify under federal regulatory rules as Tier 2 capital for TriState Capital Holdings, the holding company for TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners, Inc. The proceeds will help fund continued growth and ensure that the company and its bank subsidiary maintain their well-capitalized positions, and may be used to invest in TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell, and for other general corporate purposes.
“We’ve successfully deployed the proceeds from last year’s initial public offering by executing our plans to acquire a thriving investment management firm and profitably grow our core banking business,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz said. “Over our history, we’ve successfully accessed new capital as needed to fund TriState Capital’s expansion, attracting over $357 million to date including this subordinated debt. This placement diversifies our sources of low-cost capital and enables us to fund continued growth without dilution to common stockholders.”
In anticipation of a subordinated debt offering, TriState Capital recently obtained ratings from Kroll Bond Rating Agency. KBRA has assigned investment grade ratings of BBB+ for TriState Capital Bank and BBB for TriState Capital Holdings.
Stephens Inc. served as placement agent for the private offering to certain accredited institutional investors.
