Hawthorn Bancshares Completes Exit of TARP with Repurchase of Warrant
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. — June 13, 2013 — The Board of Directors of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWBK) announced today the repurchase of the warrant issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in 2008 as part of the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program’s (TARP) Capital Purchase Program. The repurchase price was $540,000 and the warrant provided the Treasury with the right to purchase 287,134 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $15.81 per share. As a result of the repurchase, Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. has completely exited the TARP program and the Treasury has no remaining investment in the Company.
In commenting on the repurchase, Chairman, CEO & President David T. Turner said, “We are pleased to have the transaction complete. Our ability to repay the TARP preferred stock and warrant with internal sources reflects our financial strength and repurchasing the warrant eliminates potential future shareholder dilution that could have resulted from exercise of the warrant.”
