Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On October 31, 2014, First Community Financial Partners, Inc. (the “Company”), closed a private placement offering resulting in the issuance of 7.0% Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $9.8 million. The Notes were issued in denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples thereof to certain accredited investors.

The Notes mature on the eighth anniversary of their issuance and bear interest payable on March 31 and September 30 of each year, at an annual interest rate of 7.0%, with the first such payment to be due on March 31, 2015. Beginning on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of the Notes (or an earlier date if the Notes cease to be deemed Tier 2 capital or the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there exists a material risk that interest payable by the Company is not, or will not be, deductible by the Company), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount outstanding plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

The Notes issued in the private placement were not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation D of the rules promulgated under the Act. No commissions were paid in connection with the issuance of the Notes or in connection with this offering.
