Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 12, 2026, Northpointe Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued a $20.0 million 7.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Note due 2036 (the “Note”). The Note was issued by the Company to the Purchaser at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. The Company intends to use the net proceeds it received from the sale of the Note for general corporate purposes. The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand.
The Note has a stated maturity of March 15, 2036, and is redeemable (i) in whole or in part, on or after March 15, 2031, and (ii) in full, at any time upon the occurrence of certain events. The Note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.50% per annum from and including March 12, 2026, to March 15, 2031, or the date of earlier redemption. From and including March 15, 2031 to, but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the Note will bear interest at a floating interest rate. The floating interest rare will reset quarterly at a variable rate equal to the then current three-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus 415 basis points. As provided in the Note, the interest rate on the Note during the applicable floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than three-month term SOFR.
The Note was offered and sold by the Company in a private placement transaction in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. The Note is not subject to any sinking fund and are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Principal and interest on the Note is subject to acceleration only in limited circumstances in the case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events with respect to the Company. The Note is unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company, is not an obligation of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company, and ranks junior in right of payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness. The Note is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.
The form of the Purchase Agreement and form Note are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) and are incorporated herein by reference.
