Item 1.01. | – Material Contracts |
On March 5, 2014, DNB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an accredited investor under which the Company issued a $9.75 million subordinated note (the “Note”) to the investor. The Note has a maturity date of March 6, 2025, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum for the first 5 years and then float at the Wall Street Journal Prime rate plus1.00%, provided that the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance will at no time be less than 3.0% and more than 5.75% per annum.
The Company may, at its option, beginning with the first interest payment date after March 6, 2019, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Note, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the noteholder.
The Note will be unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and will rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s senior indebtedness and to the Company’s obligations to its general creditors.
The Note is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. As discussed in Section 8.01 below, the Company has used the proceeds from the sale of the Note to redeem a portion of its outstanding shares of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2011A, which it issued to the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant to its participation in the Small Business Lending Fund Program.
The Note was offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Accordingly, the Note was offered and sold exclusively to persons who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
The foregoing summary description of the Agreement and the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement and to the Note, copies of which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The information provided above in response to Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is also responsive to Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
On March 6, 2015, the Company redeemed 9,750 of the 13,000 shares of the Company’s Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2011A (“Series 2011A Preferred Stock”), that had been issued to the United States Department of the Treasury on August 4, 2011 in connection with the Company’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund program. The shares were redeemed at their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued dividends for a total redemption price of $9,767,604.17. Following the consummation of this partial redemption, the Company continues to have outstanding 3,250 shares of its Series 2011A Preferred Stock.
The partial redemption was approved by the Company's primary federal regulator and was funded with the proceeds of a $9.75 million private placement described above in Item 1.01. After the partial redemption, the Company and its wholly owned banking subsidiary, DNB First, National Association, will continue to have capital in excess of minimum regulatory requirements and at levels that qualify as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines.
