Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On March 10, 2016, Pinnacle Bank completed the issuance of an additional $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Fixed–to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the "Notes") to certain institutional investors in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.875 percent per annum until July 30, 2020, payable semi-annually in arrears. From July 30, 2020, the Notes will bear a floating rate of interest equal to 3-Month LIBOR + 3.128 percent per annum until the Notes mature on July 30, 2025, or such earlier redemption date, payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes will be redeemable by Pinnacle Bank, in whole or in part, on or after July 30, 2020 or, in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain specified tax events, capital events or investment company events. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holders.
The sale of the Notes yielded net proceeds of approximately $68.3 million, and the Notes qualify initially as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. Pinnacle Bank intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of short-term borrowings of Pinnacle Bank used to pay a portion of the cash portion of the purchase price for the additional equity interests of Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC acquired by Pinnacle Bank on March 1, 2016.
The foregoing description does not purport to be a complete description of the Notes. The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Note, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
