Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On July 29, 2020, F & M Bank Corp. (the “Company”) entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold and issued $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% fixed rated subordinated notes due July 31, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and $7.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due July 31, 2030 (the “2030 Notes and, together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”). Raymond James & Associates, Inc. served as the sole placement agent.
The 2027 Notes will bear interest at 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. Beginning on July 31, 2022 through maturity, the Notes may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date. The Notes will mature on July 31, 2027.
The 2030 Notes will initially bear interest at 6.00% per annum, beginning July 29, 2020 to but excluding July 31, 2025, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including July 31, 2025 through July 30, 2030, or up to an early redemption date, the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 593 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. Beginning on July 31, 2025 through maturity, the Notes may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date. The Notes will mature on July 31, 2030.
If certain events of default occur, such as the bankruptcy of the Company, the holder of a Note may declare the principal amount of the Note to be due and immediately payable. The Notes will be unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and will rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are not convertible into common stock or preferred stock and are not callable by the holders.
The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital under bank regulatory guidelines, and the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be utilized for general corporate purposes, including funding corporate growth, repaying outstanding indebtedness and supporting the capital of Farmers & Merchants Bank, the Company’s subsidiary bank.
The Notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, on the other hand.
The foregoing descriptions of the Notes and the Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of the Notes and the Purchase Agreement which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
