On September 30, 2016, CNB Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) accepted subscriptions for and sold, at 100% of their principal amount, an aggregate of $50 million of subordinated notes (the “Notes”), to accredited and institutional investors in a private placement.
The Notes have a stated maturity of October 15, 2026, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year, from and including the original issue date to but excluding October 15, 2021, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2017. From and including October 15, 2021 to but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per year equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 455 basis points. The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, on or after October 15, 2021, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events.
The payment of the principal on the Notes may only be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or receivership related events relating to the Corporation or a major bank subsidiary of the Corporation, in which case, the principal of all of the Notes shall become due and payable.
The Corporation expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including loan growth, additional liquidity and working capital.
This description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Subordinated Note which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
