Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 19, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) awarded a discretionary cash bonus of $100,000 to David B. Becker, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The bonus is expected to be paid to Mr. Becker in December 2015. The bonus was awarded in recognition of Mr. Becker’s contributions toward increasing the Company’s franchise value, including increases in total shareholder value since the beginning of fiscal 2014. Mr. Becker has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the First Internet Bank of Indiana since he founded it in 1998 and has held the same positions with the Company since 2007. The bonus is contingent on Mr. Becker’s continued employment with the Company through the payment date and is separate from Mr. Becker’s bonus opportunity under the previously announced 2015 Senior Management Bonus Plan.
