Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On November 5, 2014, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 2,232,531 shares of Common Stock to the PF V Fund and 366,457 shares of Common Stock to the AIF Fund at the closing of the Merger. For further information see Item 3 to this Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Concurrently with the Merger Agreement, the Investors and the Company entered into an Investment Letter Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) that creates certain obligations and rights for the parties thereto. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investors have agreed to comply, and ensure compliance by its subsidiaries and affiliates, with Federal banking regulator’s rules and regulations. If required by the staff of the Federal Reserve Board: (a) in connection with obtaining certain regulatory approvals in connection with the Merger, the Investors must promptly deliver to the Federal Reserve Board executed passivity and anti-association commitments; and (b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide directly to the Federal Reserve Board or FDIC, as applicable, such information about the Investors as is reasonable and customary in connection with obtaining the certain regulatory approvals. Other than as required by (a) and (b) above, the Investors are not required to file any applications, notices, petitions or filings with, or seek any permits, consents or approvals, or authorizations from, any regulatory agency or governmental entity in connection with the Merger.

 

Under the Investment Agreement, the Investors are entitled to designate a person to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board Designee”) for as long as the Investors continue to own in the aggregate at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and do not materially breach the Investor’s obligations under the Investment Agreement (the “Board Designee Rights Criteria”). The Board Designee must: (i) be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) not be a person who is an officer or employee of Holdings or any of its subsidiaries as of the date of the Investment Agreement; (iii) satisfy all director qualifications reasonably required by the Company and agree to comply with all policies of the Company that apply to all nominees for the Board of Directors of the Company; and (iv) be eligible to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company under certain federal banking laws and regulations. So long as the Investors satisfy the Board Designee Rights Criteria, the Investors maintain the right to nominate an individual to be elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The initial Board Designee is subject to regulatory approval and will be appointed once such approval is obtained.

 

In connection with the Investment Agreement, the Investors were also granted certain registration rights (the “Registration Rights”). The Registration Rights grant the Investors three separate types of registration rights: (1) shelf registration rights; (2) demand rights; and (3) piggyback registration rights. The shelf registration rights require the Company, as promptly as practicable following the lockup termination date (30 days after the Closing Date), to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, if such Form is available. Under the demand rights, subject to certain timing and other customary restrictions, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding registrable securities have the right to require the Company to file a registration statement for the sale of their Company shares in an underwritten offering. The piggyback registration rights require the Company to notify the Investors of its intention to undertake any securities offering for its own account (other than offerings under employee equity plans and mergers) or the account of other shareholders, and permit the Investors to include their registrable securities in the offering. A copy of the registration rights agreement is filed as Annex B to Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D.

 

Except as described above and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, there are no other contracts, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the parties named in Item 2 hereto and between such persons and any person with respect to any of the Shares.

 

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Investment Agreement and the Merger Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively.
