Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 31, 2008, Centrue Financial Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a new loan
agreement with LaSalle Bank N.A. which provides for up to an aggregate principal amount of
$35,250,000 in borrowings. The loan agreement consists of three credit facilities. The first
credit facility consists of a $25,000,000 secured revolving line of credit which matures December
19, 2008. The second credit facility consists of a $250,000 secured term facility, which will
mature seven years from the March 31, 2008 closing date. The third credit facility consists of a
$10,000,000 in subordinated debt, which also matures seven years from the March 31, 2008 closing
date. The interest rate on the term and subordinated debt credit facilities is three month LIBOR
plus 295 basis points. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is three month LIBOR
plus 125 basis points. Repayment of each of the three credit facilities is interest only on a
quarterly basis, with the principal amount of the loan due at maturity. The revolving and term
credit facilities are secured by a pledge of the stock of Centrue Bank. The subordinated debt
credit facility is unsecured and is intended to qualify as tier II capital for regulatory purposes.
The loan agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to, Centrue Bank’s
maintenance of its status as well-capitalized, minimum return on average assets on an annual basis
of 0.50%, maximum nonperforming assets to primary capital below 20%, and minimum loan loss reserves
to total loans of 1.00%. The Company intends to use the credit facilities for general working capital
purposes. The loan agreement contains no penalty for early repayment of either the revolving credit
facility or the subordinated debt credit facility. The Amended and Restated Loan and Subordinated
Debenture Purchase Agreement dated as of March 31, 2008 is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.
