Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 13, 2018, First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with The Northern Trust Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and The Northern Trust Company extended the maturity date of the Company’s $10 million revolving loan from April 13, 2018 to April 12, 2019 (the “Revolving Loan”) and agreed to certain additional matters, including The Northern Trust Company consenting to certain matters related to the Company’s pending acquisition via merger of First BancTrust Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“First Bank”). The Revolving Loan was made pursuant to a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016, as amended (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which The Northern Trust Company also provided the Company with a $15 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds from the Term Loan were used by the Company for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash consideration payable by the Company in connection with its acquisition via merger of First Clover Leaf Financial Corp. on September 8, 2016. The Term Loan matures on September 7, 2020, and the Company's obligations under the Agreement are secured by a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, National Association (the “Bank”).
The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, financial covenants requiring that (1) the Company’s senior debt for borrowed money will not exceed 40% of consolidated Tier 1 Capital; (2) each of the Company and the Bank maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of at least 5%; (3) each of the Company and the Bank maintain a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 8%; (4) each of the Company and the Bank maintain a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of not less than 10%, at least 60% of which will consist of Tier 1 Capital; (5) the Company’s consolidated net income be at least .75% of its average assets; and (6) non-performing assets will not exceed 3% of loans. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Agreement, The Northern Trust Company may, among other options, terminate its commitment to make loans to the Company, declare any amounts outstanding under the Agreement immediately due and payable, and/or force the sale of the pledged shares of common stock of the Bank to satisfy the loans.
The foregoing summary of the Agreement is only a brief description of its terms and conditions, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete terms of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
