ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
|
On June 29, 2011, Republic Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company), amended its Program Agreement dated September 19, 2007, as previously amended December 2, 2008; November 23, 2009; December 29, 2009; June 30, 2010; September 30, 2010 and December 14, 2010 (the “Program Agreement”) with Jackson Hewitt, Inc. (“JHI”).
The parties amended section 9.4(a) of the Program Agreement to extend the 2011 date from June 30, 2011 to July 29, 2011 by which the Bank, at its option, may terminate the Program Agreement. The Bank’s ability to exercise its termination right in Section 9.4(a) of the Program Agreement may be limited or otherwise affected by the pendency of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding for Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc., the parent company of JHI, absent an order of the Court terminating the automatic stay. The Program Agreement is scheduled to expire October 31, 2015.
The Company has described the Program Agreement in the Company’s current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2007, December 3, 2008; November 24, 2009; December 30, 2009; July 2, 2010 and December 17, 2010. A copy of the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment.
