Item 8.01                                           Other Events

On December 19, 2018, First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019.

The stock repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time and does not commit the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock. The actual number and value of the shares to be purchased will depend on the performance of the Company’s stock price and other market conditions. Repurchases under the program may also be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which, if adopted by the Company, would permit shares to be repurchased in accordance with pre-determined criteria when the Company might otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods.

A copy of the press release announcing the stock repurchase program filed as Exhibit 99.1 and the information set forth therein is incorporated herein by reference.
