Introductory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed by Old National Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (“Old National”), successor by merger to CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“CapStar” or the “registrant”) in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between CapStar and Old National.

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Merger (as defined below), on April 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), CapStar, Old National and UMB Bank, National Association (“UMB Bank”) entered into that certain Supplemental Indenture No. 1 to the Indenture, dated as of June 29, 2020, by and between CapStar and UMB Bank (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which Old National assumed all of the obligations of CapStar under the Subordinated Notes (as defined in the Indenture) and the Indenture.

 

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Supplemental Indenture, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

Effective as of the Closing Date, CapStar completed its previously announced transaction with Old National (the “Closing”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, CapStar merged with and into Old National, with Old National continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, CapStar’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CapStar Bank, a state bank chartered under the laws of the State of Tennessee, merged with and into Old National’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Old National Bank, a national banking association (the “Bank Merger”), with Old National Bank as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, $1.00 par value, of CapStar (“CapStar Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain shares held by CapStar as treasury stock or shares owned by CapStar or Old National, was converted into the right to receive, without interest, (a) 1.155 shares of common stock, no par value, of Old National (“Old National Common Stock”) and (b) cash in lieu of fractional shares (such collective consideration is hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (i) options to purchase 75,000 shares of CapStar Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each net share subject to the option, the number of which net shares was calculated based on the excess of the value of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of the option; (ii) awards in respect of 59,784 shares of CapStar Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were fully vested and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of CapStar Common Stock underlying such award; (iii) restricted stock unit awards (other than any such award subject to performance-based vesting conditions) in respect of 53,933 shares of CapStar Common Stock that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were fully vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of CapStar Common Stock underlying such award; (iv) restricted stock unit awards (other than any such award subject to performance-based vesting conditions) in respect of 23,917 shares of CapStar Common Stock that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were assumed by Old National and converted into restricted stock unit awards in respect of 27,624 shares of Old National Common Stock in the aggregate; and (v) performance-based restricted stock unit awards in respect of 91,698 shares of CapStar Common Stock that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were fully vested (with performance goals deemed achieved at a level determined by the board of directors of CapStar or its compensation committee) and were cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of CapStar Common Stock underlying such award.

 

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As a result of the Merger, CapStar no longer fulfills the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). Prior to the Closing Date, CapStar notified Nasdaq of the closing of the Merger and requested that Nasdaq (i) suspend trading of CapStar Common Stock prior to the opening of trading in April 1, 2024, (ii) withdraw CapStar Common Stock from listing on Nasdaq and (iii) file with the SEC a notification on Form 25 of delisting of CapStar Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, CapStar Common Stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq.

 

Additionally, Old National, as successor to CapStar, intends to file with the SEC as promptly as possible a certification on Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of CapStar Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of CapStar’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
