Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance or results, are based on information available at the time the statements are made, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the information in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include: failures of or interruptions in the communications and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business; our plans to grow our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios; competition with national, regional, and community financial institutions; the loss of any key members of senior management; fluctuations in interest rates; general economic conditions and risks relating to the regulation of financial institutions. Additional factors that may affect our results include those discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

First Internet Bancorp
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
  
Note 1:        Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any other period. The March 31, 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the First Internet Bancorp Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, or assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided. The determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuations and impairments of investment securities, and the accounting for income tax expense are highly dependent upon management’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions where changes in any of these could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
 
The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, JKH Realty Services, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

Gross gains of $0 and $1.4 million, and gross losses of $0 and $1.0 million resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities were realized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $49.7 million and $86.9 million, which is approximately 30% and 63%, respectively, of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from fluctuations in market interest rates after purchase.
 
Except as discussed below, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.
 
Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period in which the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is identified.
 
The following tables show the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

U. S. Government-Sponsored Agencies

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities
 
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost bases over the term of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.

For identified mortgage-backed securities in the investment portfolio, an extensive, quarterly review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. The most significant inputs are voluntary prepayment rates, default rates, liquidation rates, and loss severity.
 
To determine if the unrealized loss for mortgage-backed securities is other-than-temporary, the Company projects total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiplies that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the projected collateral loss. The Company also evaluates the current credit enhancement underlying the security to determine the impact on cash flows. If the Company determines that a given mortgage-backed security position will be subject to a write-down or loss, the Company records the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.
 
Credit Losses Recognized on Investments
 
Certain debt securities have experienced fair value deterioration due to credit losses and other market factors, but are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
The following tables provide information about debt securities for which only a credit loss was recognized in income and other losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company did not own any OTTI securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Note 4:        Loans Receivable
 
Loans that management intends to hold until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
 
For loans recorded at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial and Industrial: Commercial and industrial loans' source of repayment are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Loans are made for working capital, equipment purchases, or other purposes. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate a personal guarantee.

Owner-occupied Commercial Real Estate: The primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower, or an affiliate of the borrower, who owns the property. This portfolio is diverse in terms of property type and geographic location and often times are secured by recreational facilities, retail establishments and office buildings.

Investor Commercial Real Estate: These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. These loans may also incorporate a personal guarantee. This portfolio typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Investor commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s investor commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of property type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on property financial performance, collateral value, and other risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects or properties outside of its designated market areas (Central Indiana and Phoenix, Arizona, as well as markets adjacent to these area) unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk.


10



Construction: Construction loans are secured by real estate made to finance land development in preparation to erecting new structures or the on-site construction of industrial, commercial or residential. These loans are typically made for vacant land, as well as the acquisition and improvement of developed and undeveloped property. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.
Single Tenant Lease Financing: These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Unlike the owner-occupied and investor commercial real estate loan portfolios, these loans are financed for properties supporting the operations and activities of an individual business with strong creditworthiness and are typically nationally branded. Similar to the other loan portfolios, management monitors and evaluates these loans based on property financial performance, collateral value, and other risk grade criteria.

Residential Mortgage: With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the financial circumstances of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.
Home Equity: Home equity loans and lines of credit are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences. The properties securing the Company's home equity portfolio are generally geographically diverse as the Company offers these products on a nationwide basis. Repayment of home equity loans and lines of credit may be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties and unemployment levels, among other economic conditions and financial circumstances in the market.
Other Consumer: These loans primarily consist of consumer loans and credit cards. Consumer loans may be secured by consumer assets such as horse trailers or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of consumer loans is primarily dependent upon the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.
Allowance for Loan Losses Methodology
 
Company policy is designed to ensure that an adequate allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) is maintained. The portfolio is segmented by loan type.  The required ALLL for types of performing homogeneous loans which do not have a specific reserve is determined by applying a factor based on average historical losses, adjusted for current economic factors and portfolio trends. Management believes the historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed.  Management adds qualitative factors for observable trends, changes in internal practices, changes in delinquencies and impairments, and external factors.  Observable factors include changes in the composition and size of portfolios, as well as loan terms or concentration levels.  The Company evaluates the impact of internal changes such as management and staff experience levels or modification to loan underwriting processes.  Delinquency trends are scrutinized for both volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual, or classified loans as well as any changes in the value of underlying collateral.  Finally, the Company considers the effect of other external factors such as national, regional, and local economic and business conditions, as well as competitive, legal, and regulatory requirements. Loans that are considered to be impaired are evaluated to determine the need for a specific allowance by applying at least one of three methodologies: present value of future cash flows; fair value of collateral less cost to sell; or the loan’s observable market price.  All troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are considered impaired loans.  Loans evaluated for impairment are removed from other pools to prevent double-counting.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to operations based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured considers, among other factors, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management attempts to use the best information available in making its

11



evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.
 
Policy for Charging Off Loans
 
The Company’s policy is to charge off a loan at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, meaning collectible within the parameters of policy. A secured loan is generally charged down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest. An unsecured loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the general characteristics of the nine risk grades is as follows:
 
“Pass” (Grades 1-5) - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

“Special Mention” (Grade 6) - Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserve close attention.


13



“Substandard” (Grade 7) - Loans that possess a defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

“Doubtful” (Grade 8) - Such loans have been placed on nonaccrual status and may be heavily dependent upon collateral possessing a value that is difficult to determine or based upon some near-term event which lacks clear certainty. These loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard; however, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of the principal balance highly improbable.

“Loss” (Grade 9) - Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not warranted.

Nonaccrual Loans
 
Any loan which becomes 90 days delinquent or has the full collection of principal and interest in doubt will be considered for nonaccrual status. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all accrued but unpaid interest will be reversed from interest income. Placing the loan on nonaccrual does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to repay interest. A loan placed on nonaccrual may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest has been brought current and the Company expects full payment of the remaining contractual principal and interest.

Impaired Loans
 
A loan is designated as impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16) when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.
 
Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
 
The loan portfolio includes TDRs which are loans that have been modified to grant economic concessions to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation efforts and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally not less than six consecutive months.
 
When loans are modified in a TDR, any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans is evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If it is determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded balance of the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance or charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, are evaluated for possible impairment, and impairment is recognized through the allowance.
 
In the course of working with troubled borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans in an effort to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize the collectability of the loan. Any loan modified is reviewed by the Company to identify whether a TDR has occurred when the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider based on economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current

16



financial status or the loan may be restructured to secure additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the debt, or a combination of the two.
 
Loans classified as new TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are shown in the table below. The 2015 and 2014 modifications consisted solely of maturity date concessions.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan
 
The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the form of equity-based awards to employees, directors, and other eligible persons.  Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, the pool of shares available for issuance may be used for available types of equity awards under the 2013 Plan, which includes stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, and other stock-based awards.  All employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company or any subsidiary, as well as all non-employee directors of the Company, are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.

The Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.1 million of share-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to awards made under the 2013 Plan.

The following table summarizes the status of the 2013 Plan awards as of March 31, 2015, and activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

Directors Deferred Stock Plan
 
Until January 1, 2014, the Company had a stock compensation plan for members of the Board of Directors (“Directors Deferred Stock Plan”). The Company reserved 180,000 shares of common stock that could have been issued pursuant to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan. The plan provided directors the option to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in either common stock or deferred stock rights. Deferred stock rights were to be settled in common stock following the end of the deferral period payable on the basis of one share of common stock for each deferred stock right.
 
The following is an analysis of deferred stock rights related to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2015

Note 8:        Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


18



Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities
 
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.
 
Level 2 securities include U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, mortgage and asset-backed securities and certain corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but also on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities.
 
In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation.
 
Loans Held-for-Sale

The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).
 
Forward Contracts

The fair values of forward contracts on to-be-announced securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets, or benchmarked thereto (Level 1).
 
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
 
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are determined using the projected sale price of individual loans based on changes in market interest rates, projected pull-through rates (the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in an originated loan), the reduction in the value of the applicant’s option due to the passage of time, and the remaining origination costs to be incurred based on management’s estimate of market costs (Level 3).
 
The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)
 
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans.
 
If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.
 
Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.
 
The following tables present the fair value measurements of impaired loans recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fell at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For these instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Loans Held-for-Sale
 
The fair value of these loans approximates carrying value.
 
Interest-Bearing Time Deposits
 
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
 
Loans Receivable
 
The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities.
 
Accrued Interest Receivable
 
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
The fair value approximates carrying value.
 
Deposits 
The fair value of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market accounts approximates carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit and brokered deposits are estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
 
The fair value of fixed rate advances is estimated using rates currently available for advances with similar remaining maturities. The carrying value of variable rate advances approximates fair value.
 
Accrued Interest Payable
 
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
 
Subordinated Debt
 
The fair value of our subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current borrowing rates for similar types of debt instruments.
 
Commitments
 
The fair value of commitments to extend credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar maturities and interest rates. The Company determined that the fair value of commitments was zero based on the contractual value of outstanding commitments at each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Note 9:        Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.
 
Each of these items are considered derivatives, but are not designated as accounting hedges, and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10:        Subordinated Debenture
 
On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a subordinated debenture purchase agreement with a third party and issued a subordinated debenture in the principal amount of $3 million, which bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 8.00%, and is scheduled to mature on June 28, 2021; however, the Company can repay the debenture without premium or penalty at any time after June 28, 2016. The debenture qualifies for treatment as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The purchase agreement and the debenture contain customary subordination provisions and events of default; however, the right of the investor to accelerate the payment of the debenture is limited to bankruptcy or insolvency.
 
As partial inducement for the third party to purchase the debenture, the Company issued to the third party a warrant to purchase up to 48,750 shares of common stock at an initial per share exercise price equal to $19.33. The warrant became exercisable on June 28, 2014 and, unless previously exercised, will expire on June 28, 2021. The Company has the right to force an exercise of the warrant after the debenture has been repaid in full if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of a share of its common stock exceeds $30.00.
  
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to assign a fair value of $0.3 million to the warrant as of June 28, 2013. The following assumptions were used to value the warrant: a risk-free interest rate of 0.66% per the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of issuance, an expected dividend yield of 1.19% calculated using the dividend rate and stock price at the date of the issuance, and an expected volatility of 34% based on the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected term of the warrant, which is estimated to be three years

Note 11:     Accounting Developments

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (April 2015)

This Update is part of an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the “Simplification Initiative”) implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report.
 
Overview
 
First Internet Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company that conducts its business activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank (the “Bank”). The Bank was the first state-chartered, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Internet bank and commenced banking operations in 1999. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana on September 15, 2005. On March 21, 2006, we consummated a plan of exchange by which we acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Bank.
We offer a full complement of products and services on a nationwide basis. We conduct our deposit operations primarily over the Internet and have no traditional branch offices. In recent years, we have added commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending, including nationwide single tenant lease financing, and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) lending, including asset based lending and business banking/treasury management services to meet the needs of high-quality commercial borrowers and depositors.
Our business model is significantly different from that of a typical community bank. We do not have a conventional brick and mortar branch system; rather, we operate through our scalable Internet banking platform. The market area for our residential real estate lending, consumer lending, and deposit gathering activities is the entire United States. We also offer single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis. Our other commercial banking activities, including CRE loans and C&I loans, corporate credit cards, and corporate treasury management services, are offered by our commercial banking team to businesses primarily within Central Indiana, Phoenix, Arizona and markets adjacent to these areas.

1 This information represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

During the first quarter 2015, net income was $2.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2014 net income of $0.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. The increase in net income of $1.5 million, or 243.8%, was due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense. Return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity were 0.84% and 8.55%, respectively, for the first quarter 2015 compared to 0.30% and 2.64%, respectively, for the first quarter 2014.

Net interest income for the first quarter 2015 was $6.8 million, increasing $1.9 million, or 39.2%, compared to first quarter 2014 net interest income of $4.9 million. Net interest margin was 2.84% for the first quarter 2015 compared to 2.51% for the first quarter 2014. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily driven by an increase of $180.7 million, or 23.0%, in the balance of average interest-earning assets for the first quarter 2015 compared to the first quarter 2014 as well as changes in the composition of the Company’s balance sheet which resulted in an increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of funds related to interest-bearing liabilities.

The increase in net interest income for the first quarter 2015, as compared to the first quarter 2014, was the result of a $2.2 million, or 30.6%, increase in total interest income to $9.2 million for the first quarter 2015 from $7.0 million for the first quarter 2014. The increase in total interest income was partially offset by a $0.2 million, or 11.4%, increase in total interest expense to $2.4 million for the first quarter 2015 from $2.2 million for the first quarter 2014.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans resulting from an increase of $242.7 million, or 45.1%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale, for the first quarter 2015 compared to the first quarter 2014. This was partially offset by a decline in interest income earned on investment securities resulting from a decrease in both the average balance of securities, which declined $6.2 million, or 4.1%, and the yield earned on investment securities, which declined 14 bps, for the first quarter 2015 compared to the first quarter 2014.

The increase in total interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense related to other borrowed funds as a result of a $84.6 million, or 336.4%, increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds for the first quarter 2015 compared to first quarter 2014, partially offset by a decline of 325 bps in the cost of funds related to these borrowings. Interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits also contributed to the increase in total interest expense due to an $82.0 million, or 12.1%, increase in average interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter 2015 compared to the first quarter 2014, partially offset by a decline of 7 bps in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

During the first quarter 2015, noninterest income totaled $3.1 million, representing an increase of $1.6 million, or 108.3%, compared to $1.5 million for the the first quarter 2014. The increase in noninterest income was driven by an increase of $2.0 million, or 220.7%, in mortgage banking revenue resulting from an improvement in gain on sale margin and higher origination volumes. The increase in mortgage banking revenue was partially offset by a $0.4 million decline in gains related to the sales of securities.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter 2015 was $6.3 million, compared to $5.4 million for the first quarter 2014. The increase of $0.9 million, or 15.1%, compared to March 31, 2014 was due to an increase of $0.6 million in salaries and employee benefits and an increase of $0.2 million in consulting and professional fees. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased headcount driven by the Company's continued growth and higher equity compensation expense. The increase in consulting and professional fees was due primarily to an increase in legal and consulting expenses associated with the Company's expansion over the last twelve months.

Total loans receivable as of March 31, 2015 were $767.7 million, increasing $35.3 million, or 4.8%, compared to $732.4 million as of December 31, 2014. Total commercial loans increased $43.9 million, or 12.5%, as of March 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014 due to increases of $34.6 million, or 18.0%, in single tenant lease financing, $6.6 million, or 8.6%, in commercial and industrial, and $4.2 million, or 12.4%, in owner-occupied commercial real estate. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $3.6 million, or 16.2%, in investor commercial real estate.

Total consumer loans declined $8.2 million, or 2.2%, as of March 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014 due primarily to decreases of $4.7 million, or 2.1%, in residential mortgages and $3.6 million, or 6.2%, in home equity loans.

Total nonperforming loans declined $0.1 million, or 16.9%, to $0.2 million as of March 31, 2015 compared to $0.3 million as of December 31, 2014. Total nonperforming assets declined less than $0.1 million, or 1.0%, to $4.8 million as of March 31, 2015 compared to $4.9 million as of December 31, 2014. The decreases in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets were due primarily to a decline in loans 90 days past due and accruing. As a result, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans receivable improved to 0.03% as of March 31, 2015 compared to 0.04% as of December 31, 2014 and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets improved to 0.47% as of March 31, 2015 compared to 0.50% as of December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had one commercial property in other real estate owned with a carrying value of $4.5 million. This property consists of two buildings which are residential units adjacent to a university

32



campus. Improvements to the property have been made in collaboration with the university and the property continues to be occupied.

The allowance for loan losses was $6.4 million as of March 31, 2015 compared to $5.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase of $0.6 million, or 10.0%, was due primarily to the continued growth in commercial loan balances. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans receivable increased to 0.83% as of March 31, 2015 compared to 0.79% as of December 31, 2014, and as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 2,592.7% as of March 31, 2015 compared to 1,959.5% as of December 31, 2014.

Nonperforming loans are comprised of total nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets which consist of impaired investment securities and repossessed assets. Impaired investment securities were sold during the second quarter 2014.

The increase was due primarily to increases of $14.5 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities and $14.5 million in asset-backed securities. During the first quarter 2015, the Company deployed funds generated through deposit growth to purchase securities in order to enhance net interest income while supporting liquidity and interest rate risk management.

Total deposits increased $62.6 million, or 8.2%, to $821.2 million as of March 31, 2015 as compared to $758.6 million as of December 31, 2014. This increase was due primarily to increases of $40.1 million, or 11.1%, in certificates of deposit, $13.7 million, or 5.1%, in money market accounts, and $8.7 million, or 11.8%, in interest-bearing demand deposits.

Capital

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions. Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (“Leverage Ratio”).

When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain: 1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% upon full implementation); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and be phased in over a four-year period increasing by increments of that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of March 31, 2015 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of March 31, 2015 based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules and the minimum required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

Shareholders' Dividends

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the first quarter 2015 of $0.06 per share of common stock payable April 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2015. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend for the second quarter 2015 of $0.06 per share of common stock payable July 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2015. The Company expects to continue to pay dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors on the basis of financial condition, earnings, regulatory constraints, and other factors.

Capital Resources

We believe our capital resources are sufficient to meet our current and expected needs, including any cash dividends we may pay. However, we may require additional capital resources to accommodate continued growth.

Liquidity

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Our liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Therefore, we supplement deposit growth and enhance interest rate risk management through borrowings, which are generally advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

We maintain cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations and meet our financial commitments. At March 31, 2015, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $205.2 million in cash, interest-bearing time deposits and investment securities available-for-sale and $27.6 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for our cash needs. We can also generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. At March 31, 2015, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $167.7 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses, many of which are paid to the Bank, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common stockholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At March 31, 2015, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $9.3 million in cash generally available for its cash needs, which is in excess of its current annual regular shareholder dividend and operating expenses.
 
We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures. At March 31, 2015, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $114.8 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2015 totaled $238.8 million. Generally, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

Management is not aware of any other events or regulatory requirements that, if implemented, are likely to have a material effect on either the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets are used by the Company’s management to measure the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. Although we believe these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following table for the past five quarters.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions to extend credit and forms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We enter into forward contracts relating to our mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and from our mortgage loans held-for-sale. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $67.5 million and $55.1 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year. We do not believe that off-balance sheet arrangements have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The primary source of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and the value of the Company's equity resulting from changes in market interest rates and arises in the normal course of business to the extent that there are timing and volume differences between the amount of our interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, re-priced or mature in specified periods. We seek to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and equity while managing volatility arising from shifts in market interest rates.
We monitor the Company's interest rate risk position using income simulation models and economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis that capture both short-term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Income simulation involves forecasting net interest income (“NII”) under a variety of interest rate scenarios. We use EVE sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest-rate scenarios. Modeling the sensitivity of NII and EVE to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on the assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. We continually review and refine the assumptions used in our interest rate risk modeling.
Presented below is the estimated impact on the Company's NII and EVE position as of March 31, 2015, assuming parallel shifts in interest rates:
 
% Change from Base Case for Parallel Changes in Rates
 
-100 Basis Points 1
 
+100 Basis Points
 
+200 Basis Points
NII - next twelve months

1.30
%
 
1.86
%
EVE
(3.85
)%
 
0.36
%
 
0.18
%
1 Because certain current interest rates are at or below 1.00%, the 100 basis point downward shock assumes that certain corresponding interest rates approach an implied floor that, in effect, reflects a decrease of less than the full 100 basis point downward shock.
Our objective is to manage the balance sheet with a bias toward asset sensitivity while simultaneously balancing the potential earnings impact of this strategy. A “risk-neutral” position refers to the absence of a strong bias toward either asset or liability sensitivity.  An “asset sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate higher net interest income when interest rates, primarily short-term rates, increase as rates earned on interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice.  A “liability sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate lower net interest income when short-term interest rates increase as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates earned on interest-earning assets.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. These controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we have recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures.
 
We performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to assess the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

2015 Senior Executive Cash Incentive Plan

The following cash incentive plan is established by the Board of Directors of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) effective as of January 1, 2015 for those senior executives of the Company or its subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”), identified on Attachment 1. For purposes of this plan, employees of the Bank will be deemed to be employees of the Company.

Formula Bonus

For 2015, each identified executive will be eligible to earn a performance-based bonus (“Formula Bonus”) that will vary with the executive’s compensation tier and the Company’s achievement-relative to threshold, target, and maximum levels-of four performance goals for the year: (1) net income, (2) net interest income, (3) one-year asset growth rate, and (4) the ratio of nonperforming assets (excluding restructured loans) to all assets. The extent to which the Company achieves each performance goal, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), will determine a portion of the executive’s total bonus, based on that goal’s weighting factor identified in the following table.

As provided in the following table, the Company’s relative achievement of each of the four performance goals will determine each executive’s earned bonus percentage, expressed as a percentage of the executive’s base salary at the beginning of the year.

III

For each performance goal, if the Company’s performance falls below the threshold level, an executive’s earned bonus percentage will be zero; if Company performance exceeds the maximum level, the executive’s bonus percentage will be at the maximum stated percentage; and if Company performance falls between two levels (between threshold and target or between target and maximum) levels, the executive’s bonus percentage will determined by linear interpolation between the applicable levels.

The executive’s bonus with respect to each performance goal will equal the product of the executive’s salary, the executive’s earned bonus percentage for that goal, and that goal’s weighting factor. The executive’s total bonus for 2015 will be the sum of the bonus amounts for the four performance goals.

Discretionary Bonus-Tier III

In addition to the Formula Bonus above, each Tier III executive may receive, at the discretion of the CEO, another bonus based on the executive’s individual performance and the performance of his or her department (“Discretionary Bonus”). The Discretionary Bonus may be awarded irrespective of any Formula Bonus earned by the Tier III executive. The maximum amount of the Discretionary Bonus will be 25% of the Tier III executive’s 2015 base salary. The Discretionary Bonus awards will be determined by the CEO in his discretion, taking into account subjective factors like intra-bank referrals, training of employees, attitude, team spirit and overall contribution to the Bank. The CEO will advise the Compensation Committee of the Discretionary Bonuses he intends to award, and the Compensation Committee will be provided a reasonable time within which it may make whatever comments or suggestions, if any, that it deems advisable; however, the CEO, in his sole and absolute discretion, will determine the amounts and authorize the payment of the Discretionary Bonuses.






Terms and Conditions

Neither the Formula Bonuses nor the Discretionary Bonuses will be payable for 2015 unless the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Company reports positive net income for 2015 (taking into account the expense of paying all incentive compensation but not any expense attributable to the cost of raising capital); (2) the Company declares in 2015, and pays not later than January 31, 2016, cash dividends that equal or exceed the cash dividends declared for the preceding year; and (3) the executive receives a “meets expectations” rating or better on his or her 2015 performance review.

All bonuses under this plan will be determined as soon as practicable after First Internet Bancorp releases earnings for 2015 and will be paid promptly thereafter.

If the preliminary financial information for 2015 available on December 31, 2015 shows that the three bonus conditions above are likely to be satisfied, the CEO is authorized to make a partial payment of a Discretionary Bonus to a Tier III executive with the first pay check in 2015, in an amount not to exceed the income tax liability of the executive that will be due on any equity awards made in 2015 that are taxable income in 2015.

If, after the payment of any bonus under this plan, other than the Discretionary Bonus, the Company restates its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2015, then the Compensation Committee will determine the bonus amounts that should have been paid based on the restated financial statement (the “Restated Bonus Amount”). If the Restated Bonus Amount is greater than the bonuses that were paid, then the Bank will pay such difference (the “Make-Up Amount”) within 30 days after the determination of the Make-Up Amount, regardless of whether the employee is still employed with the Company at such time. If the Restated Bonus Amount is less than the bonuses that were paid, then the employee (or his or her designated beneficiary or estate) will repay such difference (the “Overpayment Amount”) to the Company within 30 days after the Bank provides notice of repayment, which will specify the Overpayment Amount. The obligation to repay the Company the Overpayment Amount will apply regardless of whether the employee is then currently employed with the Company. The employees selected to participate in the 2015 Senior Executive Cash Incentive Plan will, as a condition of such participation, execute an “Employee Acknowledgment Concerning Participation in 2015 Senior Executive Cash Incentive Plan” in the form prepared by the Company.

Except in the case of death or termination due to disability, in order to be eligible to receive any payment under the 2015 Senior Executive Cash Incentive Plan, the employee must be employed by the Company during all of 2015 and at the time the Formula Bonuses or Discretionary Bonus are paid. In the event of death or termination due to disability during 2015 or in 2016 but before the payment date, a pro-rata portion of the bonus amount will be paid to the employee or his or her beneficiary designated in writing and filed with the Company. The pro-rata amount due will be determined by a fraction, the numerator being the number of days of full time employment by the Company in 2015 and the denominator being 365. In the absence of a designated beneficiary, the bonus will be paid to the estate of a deceased employee.

The Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, will determine (a) whether the performance goals have been achieved on which the Formula Bonuses are determined, (b) the amount of any Formula Bonuses based on the achievement of those goals, and (c) the date on which any Formula Bonus or Discretionary Bonus is paid.

The Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, has the right to amend, modify or discontinue the 2015 Senior Executive Cash Incentive Plan at any time.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE AWARD AGREEMENT
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

This Award Agreement ("Award Agreement"), dated as of _________ ___, 20___, is by and between First Internet Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), and the participant designated below ("Participant"). Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the First Internet Bancorp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), shall have the same defined meanings in this Award Agreement.
I.
NOTICE OF GRANT
The Company has granted the Participant an Award of Stock Units (designated as "Restricted Stock Units"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. By executing this Award Agreement and delivering it to the Company, the Participant is accepting the terms and conditions of this Award.

The Restricted Stock Units will be earned as of [date] if the performance conditions have been met for the Service Year.
Vesting Schedule
 

II.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of Grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a bookkeeping entry that represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

2.Account for Restricted Stock Units, Cash Dividends, Share Dividends, and Stock Splits. The Company will establish a bookkeeping account (the "Account") in the Participant's name and will credit to the Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted. The Company will also credit the Account with the value of cash dividends that would have been paid if each Restricted Stock Unit had been a Share on the dividend payment date. Cash dividends so credited will be converted to additional Restricted Stock Units Rights, based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date. No fractional Restricted Stock Units will be credited, but the Company will accumulate the dollar value of any fractional interests in a non-interest-bearing subaccount until those accumulated amounts are large enough to be converted to whole Restricted Stock Units. Any stock dividends paid on or additional Shares issued with respect to the Award will be treated as an equivalent number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the same restrictions that apply to the Award.

3.Performance Conditions. The Restricted Stock Units will be earned if both of the following performance conditions have been satisfied: (a) the Company has achieved a positive net income for the Service Year (determined without taking into account any expenses attributable to raising capital); and (b) the Company has declared a dividend for the Service Year and the dividend equals or exceeds the dividend for the immediately preceding calendar year. If the performance conditions are not satisfied for the Service Year, the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled.

4.Vesting. Unless otherwise provided in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, the earned Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable in three installments in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant, but only if (a) the Participant is still employed on that date or has experienced, after the Date of Grant, death, disability, or separation from service after reaching age 65 and (b) if the Company has achieved positive net income for the previous calendar year, as shown on the Company's financial reports. If one of the vesting conditions for a vesting year is not satisfied, that portion of the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled.
5.Payment of Restricted Stock Units. When a portion of the Restricted Stock Units vests, the Participant will receive payment of that portion of the Restricted Stock Units as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two and one-half months, following the applicable vesting date. Upon the payment date, the Participant will receive one Share for each Restricted Stock Unit in the Participant's Account and cash equal to the accumulated credits in the cash subaccount.

6.Voting. The Participant shall have no right to vote the Restricted Stock Units.








7.Withholding. In connection with the payment of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall have the right to require Participant to pay an amount in cash sufficient to cover any tax, including any Federal, state or local income tax, required by any governmental entity to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to such payment ("Withholding Tax"), or by having the Company withhold Shares that would otherwise be deliverable with respect to the Award.

8.Change in Control. As provided in the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units may vest prior to the time provided for under the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant and may be paid at a time other than the payment date described above.

9.Prohibition on Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Restricted Stock Units, or any interest therein, until paid to the Participant in the form of shares of Company common stock, and any purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition or encumbrance in violation of this Award Agreement or the Plan will be void and of no effect.

10.Tax Consequences. THE PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER CONCERNING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING THE AWARD AND THE EARNING, VESTING, AND PAYMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS UNDER THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

11.Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Participant's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Award Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of Indiana.

12.Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Award Agreement shall be written and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid and return receipt required, addressed as follows: if to the Company, to the Company's executive offices in Indianapolis, Indiana, and if to the Participant or his or her successor, to the residence address last furnished by the Participant to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may authorize notice by any other means it deems desirable or efficient at a given time, such as notice by facsimile or electronic mail (e-mail). Participant agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the Participant's residence address.

13.No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S EMPLOYMENT AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

14.Plan Controlling. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as elected below, subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Award Agreement. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

The Company and the Participant have executed this Award Agreement as of the date first written above.
