On June 30, 2015, EverBank Financial Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) completed the public offering and sale of $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% subordinated notes due 2025 (the “Notes”).

Morgan Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-205243) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was filed and automatically became effective on June 26, 2015.

The Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, governs the terms of the Notes and provides that the Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations of the Company and will mature on July 2, 2025. The interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on January 2 and July 2 of each year, commencing on January 2, 2016. The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Global Note, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
