Item 8.01.   Other Events.

 

On September 8, 2014, SB Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its completion of the early redemption of $10.3 million of fixed-rate Trust Preferred Securities (TRUPs) issued by Rurban Statutory Trust I (“RST I”). The TRUPs carried a fixed interest rate of 10.6% and were scheduled to mature on September 7, 2030. The Company previously notified the trustee of RST I of the Company’s intention to redeem all of the junior subordinated debentures underlying the TRUPs prior to their contractual maturity date of September 7, 2030. The Company redeemed the junior subordinated debentures on September 7, 2014 for an aggegate amount of $11.2 million, which included accrued interest to the redemption date and approximately $400,000 in prepayment penalties.

 

The Company used cash and a term loan from a correspondence bank in the principal amount of $7.0 million to fund the redemption of the junior subordinated debentures. The loan has a term of five years and carries a variable rate tied to the 90-day LIBOR rate.

 

A copy of the Company’s September 8, 2014 press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
