Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation of a Registrant.
On November 17, 2015, BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) completed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated November 12, 2015 (the “Agreement”), between the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Notes were sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-207619). The above description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), each between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 4.875% per annum.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, enter into certain consolidations, mergers, sales, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any of them occur, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to become, or to be declared, due and payable. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture.
Prior to August 17, 2025 (three months prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (B) as determined by a quotation agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed, not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date on which the Notes are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the Notes are to be redeemed on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at a specified rate, plus, in each case, accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In addition, on or after August 17, 2025 (three months prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The above description of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
From time to time, the Underwriters and/or their respective affiliates have directly and indirectly engaged, or may engage, in various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they received, or may receive, customary compensation, fees and expense reimbursement.
