First Internet Bancorp Announces “At-The-Market” Offering of Common Stock

 

Fishers, Indiana, May 6, 2016 – First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INBK), the parent company of First Internet Bank (the “Bank”) (www.firstib.com), announced today that it has filed a prospectus supplement under which it may sell up to $25,000,000 of its common stock through an “at-the-market” equity offering program.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds from any sales for general corporate purposes, which may include contributing capital to the Bank to support organic growth and repaying or redeeming existing indebtedness. The Company does not have any immediate plans, arrangements or understandings relating to any material acquisition.

 

The shares will be offered through Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P., as sales agent.  Sales of common stock, if any, will be made from time to time in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of a sale or at negotiated prices, or as otherwise agreed with the sales agent, and, as a result, sale prices may vary.

 

The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (file no. 333-208748) for the offering of common stock described in this communication.  Sales in the at-the-market program, if any, will be made pursuant to the prospectus and prospectus supplement.  “At-the-Market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, include sales made directly on or through the NASDAQ Capital Market, or another market for the Company’s common stock, and sales made through a market maker other than on and exchange or otherwise.  Before you invest, you should read the prospectus, prospectus supplement relating to the at-the-market program and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and the at-the-market program.  You may obtain copies of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering without charge by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or from Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P., 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attn: Syndicate Operations (1-866-805-4128).
