Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 1, 2005, Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (the Company) completed a private placement of an aggregate amount of $25.0 million in trust preferred securities, liquidation amount $1,000 per security (the Preferred Securities), through a newly formed Delaware statutory trust subsidiary, Impac Capital Trust #1 (the Trust), as part of a pooled transaction.
In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Securities, on April 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Junior Subordinated Indenture (the Indenture) by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee, and an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the Trust Agreement) among the Company, as Depositor, JPMorgan Bank, N.A, as Property Trustee, Chase Bank USA, N.A., as Delaware Trustee and the administrative trustees of the Trust. The information provided in Item 2.03 is incorporated by reference herein.
A press release dated April 1, 2005, is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On April 1, 2005, Impac Capital Trust #1 issued an aggregate of $25.0 million in trust preferred securities, liquidation amount $1,000 per security. The Preferred Securities mature on March 30, 2035, but may be redeemed beginning March 30, 2010 if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Notes, as described below. The Preferred Securities require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holders of the Preferred Securities, initially at a fixed rate of 8.01% per annum through the interest payment date in March 2010, and thereafter at a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. Distributions are cumulative and will accrue from the date of original issuance but may be deferred for a period of up to four consecutive quarterly interest payment periods if the Company exercises its right under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Notes, as described below.
The proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Securities received by the Trust, combined with the proceeds of $780,000 received by the Trust from the issuance of common securities (the Common Securities) by the Trust to the Company, were used to purchase $25,780,000 in principal amount of the unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest notes (the Notes) of the Company, issued pursuant to the Junior Subordinated Indenture entered into on April 1, 2005 between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee). The Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.
The issuance of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities are provided for in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated April 1, 2005, by and among the Trustee, the Company, Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A., and the administrative trustees of the Trust. The administrative trustees are the President, the Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary of the Company. The Trust Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
The Notes mature on March 30, 2035, but the Company may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on March 30, 2010 in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
2
The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.01% per annum through the interest payment date in March 2010, and thereafter at a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. Interest is cumulative and will accrue from the date of original issuance but, under certain circumstances, may be deferred by the Company at its option at any time after March 31, 2006 for a period of up to four consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such extended interest payment period, an Extension Period). No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear additional interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.01% per annum through the interest payment date in March 2010, and thereafter at a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. Furthermore, during any Extension Period, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on its capital stock, which includes its Common Stock, 9.125% Series C Preferred Stock and 9.375% Series B Preferred Stock.
Early Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed at par at the option of the Company beginning on March 30, 2010, and may be redeemed earlier than such date following the occurrence of a Special Event as defined in the Indenture. The Trust will be required to redeem a like amount of Preferred Securities if the Company exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Notes.
Acceleration of Maturity. Either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, or if the holders of the Notes fail to make such declaration, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities outstanding shall have a right to make such declaration, if an Event of Default (as defined under the Indenture) occurs. It is an automatic Event of Default if (a) the Company does not provide by May 5, 2005 audited financial statements or a certification of its compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and (b) the Company fails to pay the principal and interest due and payable on the Notes on or before May 6, 2005. Any holder of the Preferred Securities has the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to institute suit directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of and any premium and interest, including additional interest, on the Notes having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities held by such holder.
A press release dated April 1, 2005 is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
