Item 1.02.  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
    
On December 28, 2015, Talmer Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” ) issued a press release announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Talmer Bank and Trust (the “Bank”), entered into an early termination agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) that terminates the Bank’s loss share agreements with the FDIC. Under the terms of the termination agreement, the Bank made a payment of $11.7 million to the FDIC as consideration for the early termination of the loss share agreements. These loss share agreements were entered into by the Bank with the FDIC in 2010 and 2011 in connection with the Bank’s acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities of four failed banks from the FDIC, as receiver. Certain terms and conditions of the loss share agreements are described under “Business-Loss Share Resolution” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2015, which description is incorporated herein by reference. All rights and obligations of the Bank and the FDIC under the loss share agreements have been eliminated under the termination agreement. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the termination agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the termination agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In April 2010, as consideration for the Bank’s acquisition of CF Bancorp from the FDIC, as receiver, the Company issued warrants to the FDIC to purchase 390,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant was exercisable for ten years following the date of issuance and had an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Under the terms of the termination agreement discussed above, the parties also agreed to terminate the Warrant. Accordingly, also on December 28, 2015, the Company and the FDIC entered into a warrant termination agreement.
Under the terms of the warrant termination agreement, the Company made a payment of $4.6 million to the FDIC as consideration for terminating the Warrant. The foregoing description of the warrant termination agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the warrant termination agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
