Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
   
 
On December 17, 2009, Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) dated as of December 16, 2009 by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Patriot National Bank (the “Bank”), and PNBK Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), pursuant to which Holdings agreed to invest up to $50,000,000 to purchase up to 33,333,333 shares of Company common stock (as adjusted) at a purchase price of $1.50 per share.
 
On May 3, 2010, the Company, the Bank and Holdings entered into a First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) to extend the outside closing date of the SPA, primarily to accommodate the completion of all necessary regulatory applications and approvals required for Holdings to consummate the transactions contemplated under the SPA.  Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the parties have agreed to extend the outside closing date set forth under the SPA from May 31, 2010 to July 31, 2010 or later, provided certain conditions are met and further provided that the outside closing date shall not be extended later than August 31, 2010, unless mutually consented to in writing by the parties.  The Amendment sets forth that the SPA shall automatically terminate as of certain dates, unless certain conditions are met or if extended by mutual consent of the parties in writing.
 
There is no relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates and Holdings other than in respect of the SPA, as amended.
 
The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Amendment, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
