Item 1.01         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 11, 2017, Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana, entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with D.A. Davidson & Co., as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), to issue and sell 1,050,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $18.25 per Share (the “Offering Price”) in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). As part of the Offering, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 139,041 Shares (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”). The underwriters have exercised in full the option with respect to the Option Shares. The underwriting discounts and commissions were $1.095 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting discounts and other expenses of the offering, will be approximately $20.1 million. The Offering closed on October 13, 2017.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants among the parties as of the date of entering into such Underwriting Agreement.
