Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 7, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had completed the private offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) a portion of its outstanding Trust Preferred Securities. The Exchange Offer was made to the Company’s confidential offering memorandum dated November 27, 2019.
The Exchange Offer expired on December 26, 2019 (the “Expiration Date”).
to the Exchange Offer, on December 31, 2019, the Company issued 924,395 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for 1,881 Trust Preferred Securities, which had an outstanding balance of $2,643,769 as of the Expiration Date. The number of shares of Common Stock that were exchanged for each Trust Preferred Security was determined by dividing (i) the outstanding balance of each Trust Preferred Security as of the Expiration Date by (ii) the applicable price of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Date (the “Exchange Offer Price”). The Exchange Offer Price was equal to $2.86 per share, which represented the closing market price of the Common Stock on the Expiration Date.
The Company intends to cancel the Trust Preferred Securities acquired in the Exchange Offer. Following the Exchange Offer, there were 2,425 outstanding Trust Preferred Securities that had not been acquired by the Company. These 2,425 Trust Preferred Securities had an outstanding balance of approximately $3,408,000 at December 31, 2019.
The shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not deposits or savings accounts, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.
The shares were issued to 13 accredited investors who held Trust Preferred Securities. The shares of Common Stock issued in the Exchange Offer were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares of Common Stock may not be offered or resold in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of any person except to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The issuance of the shares did not cause any person to become the beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the Common Stock.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
