Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously reported, on August 25, 2011, Horizon Bancorp (the “Company”) redeemed the remaining 18,750 outstanding shares of preferred stock that the Company had issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in December 2008 in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”). As a consequence of that redemption, the restrictions lapsed on the shares of long-term restricted common stock the Company had issued to its five most highly compensated employees (the
“Employees”) in lieu of cash bonuses during the period that the Company was subject to the TARP CPP compensation limitations. On September 9, 2009, Horizon Bancorp repurchased from the Employees 16,064 shares of the formerly restricted stock at a per share price of $26.30, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date the restrictions on the shares lapsed and the Company’s Board of Directors conditionally approved the repurchases, for a total repurchase price of $422,483.
