Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
On September 8, 2016, Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“Premier”) executed and delivered to The Bankers’ Bank of Kentucky, Inc. of Frankfort, Kentucky (“Bankers’ Bank”) a Line of Credit Renewal Agreement dated September 7, 2016 extending the right to request and receive monies from Bankers’ Bank on Premier’s existing line of credit until September 7, 2017. The line of credit renewal maintained the principal amount of $5,000,000, bearing interest floating daily at the “JP Morgan Chase” prime rate (currently 3.50%), with a floor of 4.50%. Under the terms of the original Promissory Note, Premier may request and receive advances from Bankers’ Bank from time to time, but the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Note at any time shall not exceed $5,000,000. Accrued interest on amounts outstanding is payable quarterly, and any amounts outstanding are payable on demand or on September 7, 2017. The Promissory Note is secured by a pledge of 100% of Premier’s interest in Citizens Deposit Bank and Trust, Inc.
