ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On February 28, 2021, Western Alliance Bancorporation (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company offered and sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-224888) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 11, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”). No underwriter or placement agent was retained in connection with the offering and the Company will not pay any commission or underwriting discount with respect to the Shares.
The purchase price per Share in the Offering was $91.00. The sale of the Shares is expected to be completed on March 8, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company expects the aggregate net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses, to be approximately $209.2 million. The Company intends to use the aggregate net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to support the previously announced acquisition of Amerihome Mortgage Holding Company, LLC by the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, Western Alliance Bank. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Securities Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company's periodic reports and other filings with the Commission.
The legal opinion, including the related consent, of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
A copy of the press release announcing the Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
