Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 18, 2015, we further amended our one-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility with U.S. Bank National Association (the “line of credit”) pursuant to the terms of a Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The material changes to the line of credit resulting from the Fourth Amendment were to extend the maturity date from December 18, 2015 to December 17, 2016. The interest rate on the credit facility was also amended such that it now accrues interest at an annual rate of 1.75% (down from 3.00%), plus the one-month LIBOR rate (reset monthly). The Fourth Amendment also amends the amount of the facility fee paid by us on unused loan amounts. In addition, under the terms of the line of credit, we (and, in certain cases, our subsidiary bank) are required to maintain various financial covenants.  Certain of these financial covenants were amended in the Fourth Amendment, including (i) the minimum required total risk-based capital ratio, (ii) the maximum non-performing assets to tangible capital ratio, and (iii) the minimum ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was also deleted and replaced with a minimum return on average assets. We did not make any additional draws under the line of credit as a result of the Fourth Amendment.  

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
