Item 1.01                 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 14, 2012, Customers Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Corporation”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Corporation and the purchasers party thereto (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Corporation agreed to issue to the Purchasers in a private placement 4,223,674 shares of the Corporation’s voting common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Voting Common Stock”) and 1,847,755 shares of the Corporation’s Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (together with the Corporation’s Voting Common Stock, “Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $85 million (the “Offering”). The purchase price for any one share of Common Stock is $14.00. The Purchase Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions customary for transactions of this type.  A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Corporation also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of September 14, 2012, by and among the Corporation and the Purchasers. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of closing the Offering (the “Filing Deadline”) to register the resale of the Common Stock by the Purchasers. In the event the Corporation does not file the Registration Statement on or before the Filing Deadline, the Corporation will be required to pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by each Purchaser, and an additional 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by each Purchaser for each 30-day period (or pro rata portion) thereafter until the Registration Statement is filed (“Liquidated Damages”). In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement requires the Corporation to pay Liquidated Damages for its failure to satisfy specified effectiveness time periods, subject to certain exceptions. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents.
