Sterling Bancorp to Redeem $65.0 Million Subordinated Notes

Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBT) (the “Company”), the holding company of Sterling Bank and Trust, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), today announced it has provided notice to the holders of its outstanding 7.0% Fixed to Floating Subordinated Notes due April 2026 (the “Subordinated Notes”) that the Company has called all of the Subordinated Notes for redemption pursuant to the redemption provisions set forth in the Subordinated Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of redemption. The Subordinated Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $65.0 million as of June 15, 2023 and currently bear interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 5.82%. The date set for redemption is July 15, 2023, at which time interest will cease accruing, the Subordinated Notes will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the holders of the Subordinated Notes will cease and terminate other than the right to receive the redemption price. All regulatory approvals required for such redemption have been received.

The payment of the $65.0 million principal portion of the redemption price will be funded by a dividend to be paid by the Bank to the Company. Following the Bank dividend and the redemption of the Subordinated Notes, the capital ratios of both the Company and the Bank will continue to exceed all regulatory requirements to be considered “well capitalized.”

“The early redemption of these Subordinated Notes comes at a watershed moment for Sterling. The Subordinated Notes have been an expensive drag on earnings, and consequently this redemption will improve our profitability and margins. The Company and Bank remain very well capitalized and very liquid,” said Thomas M. O’Brien, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

“Furthermore, this action represents the final step in resolving the significant legacy challenges we have faced over the last three years. While there will continue to be further costs related to ongoing investigations of individuals and the need to work through the re-positioning of our product offerings, the goals we set forth three years ago have been successfully addressed, and we look forward to a brighter future.”

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, including the Subordinated Notes. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Subordinated Notes.
