Intermountain Community Bancorp of Sandpoint, ID,
Announces Expiration of Rights Offering
SANDPOINT, ID (BUSINESS WIRE) – May 22, 2012 – Intermountain Community Bancorp (OTCBB: IMCB.OB) (the “Company”), the bank holding company of Panhandle State Bank (the ”Bank”) today announced that the offering period of its previously announced rights offering expired on May 21, 2012 in accordance with its terms. In connection with the rights offering, the Company previously distributed to its holders of Common Stock on the record date of January 20, 2012 (the “Legacy Shareholders”), non-transferable rights to subscribe for and purchase up to an aggregate of 8,700,000 shares of its Common Stock at a subscription price of $1.00 per share. The Company conducted the rights offering pursuant to the securities purchase agreements entered into with certain investors on January 20, 2012 in the Company’s recent capital raise led by investors Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, L.P. (“Castle Creek”) and affiliates of Stadium Capital Management, LLC (“Stadium”). Castle Creek, Stadium and two other investors (the “Backstop Investors”) have agreed, subject to their respective ownership limitations, to backstop the rights offering by purchasing from the Company in a private placement, at the subscription price, any rights offering shares not purchased by the Legacy Shareholders.
Preliminary results indicate that the Legacy Shareholders have subscribed for up to 3,549,130 shares of Common Stock. This number exceeds the minimum number of shares that would need to be sold to the Legacy Shareholders pursuant to the exercise of rights in order for the full amount of gross proceeds to be raised, while ensuring that the Backstop Investors remain below certain regulatory ownership limitations. Accordingly, the Company will receive gross proceeds of $8.7 million from the rights offering and the subsequent private placement with the Backstop Investors. “We are extremely gratified by the level of interest by both the institutional investor community and by our friends and customers,” says Hecker. “This demonstrates strong confidence in the future of our bank and the communities we serve.”
The Company expects to use the net proceeds to reinvest in its communities and for other general corporate purposes.
