Item 8.01 Other Events.
In connection with the acquisition of BOH Holdings, Inc. (“BOH Holdings”) on April 15, 2014, Independent Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company”), among other things, acquired all assets and assumed all liabilities of BOH Holdings. BOH Holdings participated in the United States Department of the Treasury’s (the “Treasury”) Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program. The Treasury’s lending program encourages qualified community banks to partner with small businesses and entrepreneurs to create jobs and promote economic development in local communities. As a result of continued participation in the program, the Company issued 23,938.35 shares of its Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual SBLF Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $1,000 par value to the Treasury in exchange for the 23,938.35 shares of BOH Holdings Series C SBLF Preferred Stock that the Treasury previously held.
The SBLF Preferred Stock qualified as Tier 1 capital. The holders of SBLF Preferred Stock were entitled to receive noncumulative dividends, payable quarterly. The dividend rate was determined based on the level of Qualified Small Business Lending at BOH Holdings and was set at 1.00% at time of acquisition. The Company qualified for the 1.00% rate continuing through January 14, 2016, at which time the dividend rate was set to increase to 9.00%.
On January 14, 2016, the Company completed the redemption of all 23,938.35 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock held by the Treasury paying a total redemption price of $23,946,994.40.
