Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The Company was formed in March 2016 for the purpose of becoming the holding company for HarborOne Bank (the “Bank”) and the MHC was formed in June 2016 for the purpose of becoming the mutual holding company parent of the Company. On June 29, 2016, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Minority Stock Issuance (the “Plan”), 17,281,034 shares of Common Stock of the Company were issued to the MHC, 14,454,396 shares of Common Stock of the Company were sold for $10.00 per share to depositors of the Bank and other purchasers (the “Stock Offering”) and 385,450 shares of Common Stock of the Company were issued to a charitable foundation. |
CUSIP No. 41165F 101 | 13D |
|
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The primary purpose of the Company’s Stock Offering was to allow the Bank to operate in a more flexible form (i.e., the mutual holding company form of organization) and continue as a successful, independent, community-focused institution, while increasing its economic potential and ability to grow so that it can best meet the needs of its customers and communities. Specifically, the holding company structure created various business opportunities for the Bank that were not available to it as a mutual co-operative bank. Effectuating the Plan will enable the Bank to (1) support future growth and profitability through, among other things, increased lending; (2) compete more effectively in the financial services marketplace by diversifying the products and services offered to customers; (3) make necessary capital investments in facilities and technology; (4) increase philanthropic endeavors to the communities served by the Bank through the formation and funding of a charitable foundation dedicated to charitable purposes within these communities; (5) offer depositors, employees, management and directors an equity ownership interest in the stock holding company; and (6) attract and retain qualified directors, management and employees through stock-based compensation plans.
However, while the MHC intends to exercise its rights as majority shareholder of the Company, neither the MHC nor the Insiders currently have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company’s charter or bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
In the future, the MHC and/or the Insiders may determine to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock (or other securities of the Company) or the MHC and/or the Insiders may determine to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Any such determination will depend on a number of factors, including market prices, the Company’s prospects and alternative investments. However, under currently applicable regulations, the Company may not repurchase shares of its Common Stock during the first three years following its reorganization, unless the repurchase is part of a general repurchase made on a pro rata basis pursuant to an offer approved by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks and made to all shareholders of the Company, or to fund tax-qualified or nontax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, or in an amount not greater than 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock where compelling and valid business reasons are established to the satisfaction of the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. | |

|
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 (a). As of June 29, 2016, the MHC directly and beneficially owned 17,281,034 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which represented 53.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date.
Item 5 (b). The MHC has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the shares of Common Stock it owns.
Item 5 (c). Other than the issuance to the MHC of the shares of Company’s Common Stock as of June 29, 2016, the MHC has not effected any transaction in the Company’s Common Stock within the past 60 days.
Item 5 (d). No person or entity other than the MHC has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Company’s Common Stock reported in this Schedule. |
