Item 1.01 Entry in Material Definitive Agreement

On February 24, 2020, F.N.B. Corporation (the “Corporation”) completed its offering of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.200% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes was consummated pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement, dated as of February 19, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Corporation, as issuer, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement contains various representations, warranties and agreements by the Corporation, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

The Notes were sold to the public by the Underwriters at a price equal to 99.925% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The net proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of the Notes, after the underwriting discount, but before estimated transaction expenses, were approximately $298,875,000. The Notes were offered pursuant to the prospectus supplement, dated February 19, 2020, to the base prospectus, dated May 16, 2018, forming a part of the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-224979) (the “Registration Statement”).

The Notes will mature on February 24, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on August 24 and February 24 of each year, commencing on August 24, 2020. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part beginning on or after the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of redemption.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include investments at the holding company level, providing capital to support the growth of First National Bank of Pennsylvania, repurchases of our common shares, and refinancing of outstanding indebtedness.

The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 24, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2020 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Corporation and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes are not obligations of, and are not, and will not be, guaranteed by any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Form of Note. The Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Form of Note are attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
