Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 23, 2014, Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), announced the termination of the written agreement, dated July 22, 2011 (the “Written Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the “Federal Reserve”). The termination of the Written Agreement was effective January 17, 2014.

 

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Company was required to, among other things: (i) serve as a source of strength to Old Second National Bank, its subsidiary bank (the “Bank”); (ii) refrain from declaring or paying any dividend, or taking dividends or other payments representing a reduction in the Bank’s capital; (iii) refrain, along with its nonbank subsidiaries, from making any distributions on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve; (iv) refrain, along with its nonbank subsidiaries, from incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, and from purchasing or redeeming any shares of its capital stock, each without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve; (v) provide the Federal Reserve with a written plan to maintain sufficient capital at the Company on a consolidated basis; (vi) provide the Federal Reserve with a projection of the Company’s planned sources and uses of cash; (vii) comply with certain regulatory notice provisions pertaining to the appointment of any new director or senior executive officer, or the changing of responsibilities of any senior executive officer; and (viii) comply with certain regulatory restrictions on indemnification and severance payments.  The Company was also required to submit certain reports to the Federal Reserve with respect to the foregoing requirements.  Although the Written Agreement has been terminated, the Company expects that it will continue to seek approval from the Federal Reserve prior to paying any dividends on its capital stock and incurring any additional indebtedness.
