The convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable semi-annually, and mature in ten years. They are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of TowneBank common stock at an initial conversion price of $13.38 per share. On or after October 1, 2011, if the closing price of TowneBank common stock exceeds 100% of the conversion price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 day trading period, TowneBank may, at its option, cause some or all of the outstanding notes to be automatically converted into its common stock.
