On February 5, 2020, in connection with the transaction described in Item 8.01 below, James E. Minnick announced his intention to retire from the board of directors (the “Board”) of TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, TriState Capital Bank (the “Bank”), effective February 10, 2020. Mr. Minnick’s retirement is not due to any disagreement with the Company related to its operations, policies or practices. The Company does not intend to appoint a successor for Mr. Minnick at this time.

Mr. Minnick has served on the Board since August 2012, when he was appointed as the designee of the Lovell Minnick funds, which invested in the Company’s preferred stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering. Mr. Minnick also served on the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company.

On February 5, 2020, the Company and LM III TriState Holdings LLC and LM III-A TriState Holdings LLC (together, the “Selling Shareholders”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”), pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, Barclays agreed to purchase from the Selling Shareholders 2,678,049 shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Shares”), at a price of $22.35 per Share. The offering of the Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Offering”) is anticipated to close on February 10, 2020. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offering. Upon completion of the Offering, the Selling Shareholders will no longer own any of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222074), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2017 and declared effective by the SEC on December 21, 2017, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on February 5, 2019, and a final prospectus supplement dated February 5, 2020.

The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Underwriting Agreement. The Company and the Selling Shareholders agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities related to the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus supplement, the final prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus used by the Company.

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
