Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: First Internet Bancorp (Indiana corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana.
Reporting Date: May 6, 2016.
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement to establish an "at-the-market" (ATM) equity offering program.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing is a Current Report (Form 8-K) regarding a corporate action and does not contain periodic financial statements. Consequently, specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, and liquidity are not provided in this document.
- Proposed Capital Raise: Up to $25,000,000 in aggregate gross sales price of common stock.
- Agent Commission: Up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the authorization of a new equity financing mechanism. The Company entered into a Sales Agency Agreement with Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. to sell shares from time to time through the ATM Program. This allows for sales on the NASDAQ Capital Market or through other market makers at prevailing market prices.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Use of Proceeds: Management intends to use net proceeds to support the organic growth of the Bank, pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, and fund general corporate purposes. Specific uses may include contributing capital to the Bank, reducing or redeeming existing debt, funding loans, and purchasing investment securities.
Flexibility: The Company has no obligation to sell any shares and may suspend the program at any time. Actual sales depend on market conditions and Company discretion.
Risks: The filing notes that the Agent and its affiliates may engage in commercial and investment banking transactions with the Company. Investors are cautioned not to rely on representations in the agreement as characterizations of the Company's actual condition.
