You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. This prospectus is offering to
sell, and is seeking offers to buy, the securities only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus.
We may provide a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of a particular offering by the selling securityholders. The

As used in this prospectus, Intervest, the Company, we, us, and ours refer to Intervest
Bancshares Corporation and its subsidiaries.
OUR COMPANY
Intervest Bancshares Corporation (the Holding Company) is a financial holding company with two primary operating subsidiaries, Intervest
National Bank (the Bank) and Intervest Mortgage Corporation (IMC). The Companys business is banking and real estate lending. The Holding Companys principal business is the ownership and operation of its
subsidiaries and, from time to time, it also engages in a limited amount of real estate mortgage lending, including the purchase of participations in loans originated by the Bank. The Holding Company also has four wholly owned trust subsidiaries
that were formed for the sole purpose of issuing and administering trust preferred securities and lending the proceeds to the Holding Company. We are headquartered at One Rockefeller Plaza in New York, New York. At September 30, 2008, we had
total consolidated assets of approximately $2.2 billion, net loans of approximately $1.7 billion, total deposits of approximately $1.7 billion and stockholders equity of approximately $186 million.
The Bank is a nationally chartered bank with its headquarters and a full-service banking office in New York city and six full-service offices in Pinellas
County, Florida. Four of the Florida offices are in Clearwater, Florida, one is in Clearwater Beach and one is in South Pasadena. The Bank conducts a personalized commercial and consumer banking business that attracts deposits from the general
public in the areas served by its banking offices. The Bank also provides internet banking services through its web site, which also attracts deposit customers from outside its primary market areas. The Bank emphasizes multi-family and commercial
real estate lending. Commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans represented approximately 99% of the banks loan portfolio at September 30, 2008, and the portfolio included rental and cooperative apartment buildings, mix-used
properties, shopping centers, hotels, industrial properties and vacant land. The Banks borrowers are attracted to the Banks products due to the personalized service provided by our officers and our timely response to loan requests and
loan processing. The Banks management team has extensive experience in commercial and multifamily real estate lending activities.
IMCs business has historically focused on the origination of multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loans, consisting of first mortgage and junior mortgage loans. Prior to January 1, 2009, IMC had provided loan
origination services to the Bank. IMC has funded its lending business through the issuance of subordinated debentures in public offerings. Since early 2007, competitive market conditions and lower pricing for new loans have decreased IMCs loan
originations significantly from its historical levels. As a result, IMC has been applying the proceeds from loan repayments to the redemption of its outstanding debentures, in many cases prior to contractual maturity. To the extent that current
market conditions continue to exist, it is likely that the level of IMCs loan originations will continue to be relatively modest and it likely will continue to apply the proceeds received from maturing loans to the repayment of outstanding
debentures.
IMC was organized in April 1987. Intervest Bancshares Corporation was incorporated in 1993 for the purposes of acquiring
Intervest Bank, a Florida state-chartered commercial bank with offices in Pinellas County, Florida. Intervest National Bank, a nationally-chartered commercial bank, opened for business on April 1, 1999, as a de novo bank and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Intervest Bancshares Corporation. In July of 2001, Intervest Bank merged with and into Intervest National Bank. In March of 2000, Intervest Bancshares Corporation acquired IMC. IMC and Intervest Bancshares Corporation were
1
affiliated in that certain of the officers and directors of Intervest Bancshares Corporation and their family members owned all of the shares of IMC.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is dependent upon a single customer or a limited number of customers. The Bank does not
rely on foreign sources of funds or income and the Bank does not have any foreign commitments. The Company does not expect compliance with provisions regulating environmental controls to have a material effect upon the capital, expenditures,
earnings or competitive position of the Company. The Company operates in a single reportable segment, being the financial services industry. The Company has not had material expenditures for research and development. At September 30, 2008, the
Company had 70 employees.
RISK FACTORS
Before you invest in our securities, in addition to the risk factor set forth below and other information, documents or reports included or incorporated
by reference in this prospectus and, if applicable, any prospectus supplement or other offering materials, you should carefully consider the risk factors in the section entitled Risk Factors in any prospectus supplement, as well as our
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in their entirety, as the
same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment.
Because of our
participation in the Treasurys Capital Purchase Program, we are subject to several restrictions including restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends and repurchase our shares as well as restrictions on our executive
compensation.
On December 23, 2008, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Treasury for aggregate
consideration of $25,000,000 (i) 25,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share and (ii) the Warrant to purchase 691,882 shares of the Companys Class A Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, our ability to declare or pay dividends on any of our shares is limited. Specifically, we are unable to declare dividend payments on common, junior preferred or
pari passu
preferred shares if we are in arrears on the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Further, we are not permitted to increase dividends on our common stock above the amount of the last quarterly cash dividend per share
declared prior to October 14, 2008 without the Treasurys approval until the third anniversary of the investment unless all of the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed or transferred. In addition, our ability to repurchase our
shares is restricted. Treasury consent generally is required for us to make any stock repurchase until the third anniversary of the investment by the Treasury unless all of the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed or transferred. Further,
common, junior preferred or
pari passu
preferred shares may not be repurchased if we are in arrears on the Series A Preferred Stock dividends.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we adopted the Treasurys standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the Treasury holds the equity
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including the common stock which may be issued pursuant to the Warrant. These standards generally apply to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the three next most highly
compensated senior executive officers. The standards include (1) ensuring that incentive compensation for senior executives does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution;
(2) required clawback of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate; (3) prohibition on making golden parachute
payments to senior executives; and (4) agreement not to deduct for tax purposes executive compensation in excess of $500,000 for each senior executive. In particular, the change to the deductibility limit on executive compensation will
likely increase the overall cost of our compensation programs in future periods. Since the Warrant has a ten year term, we could potentially be subject to the executive compensation and corporate governance restrictions for a ten year time
period.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the securities by the selling securityholders.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had 25,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding but were
not required to pay, and have not paid, any dividends on preferred stock. For the purpose or computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, earnings before income taxes includes dividends received from subsidiaries. Fixed charges represent
interest on debentures and other short-term borrowings and amortization of debenture offering costs.
DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANT
The following is a brief description of the terms of the
Warrant that may be resold by the selling securityholders. This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects. This description is subject to is and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant, copies of which have been
filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 to the Companys Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2008 and are also available upon request from us.
Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Warrant
.
The Warrant is initially exercisable for 691,882 shares of our Class A Common Stock. If we complete one or more qualified equity offerings on or prior to
December 31, 2009 that result in our receipt of aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $25,000,000, which is equal to 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock
underlying the warrant then held by the Treasury will be reduced by 50% to 345,941 shares. The number of shares subject to the Warrant are subject to the further adjustments described below under the heading Adjustments to the
Warrant.
Exercise of the Warrant.
The initial exercise price applicable to the Warrant is $5.42 per share of common
stock for which the Warrant may be exercised. The Warrant may be exercised at any time on or before December 23, 2018 by surrender of the Warrant and a completed notice of exercise attached as an annex to the Warrant and the payment of the
exercise price for the shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised. The exercise price may be paid either by the withholding by the Company of such number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant equal to the value of the aggregate exercise price of the Warrant determined by reference to the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the trading day on which the Warrant is exercised or, if agreed to by us and the
warrantholder, by the payment of cash equal to the aggregate exercise price. The exercise price applicable to the Warrant is subject to the further adjustments described below under the heading Adjustments to the Warrant.
Upon exercise of the Warrant, certificates for the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise will be issued to the
warrantholder. We will not issue fractional shares upon any exercise of the Warrant. Instead, the warrantholder will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the last day preceding the exercise of
the Warrant (less the pro-rated exercise price of the Warrant) for any fractional shares that would have otherwise been issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. We will at all times reserve the aggregate number of shares of our Class A Common
Stock for which the Warrant may be exercised.
Rights as a Stockholder.
The warrantholder shall have no rights or privileges of
the holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until (and then only to the extent) the Warrant has been exercised.
Transferability.
The Treasury may not transfer a portion of the Warrant with respect to more than 345,941 shares of Class A Common Stock until the earlier of the date on which the Company has received aggregate gross
proceeds from a qualified equity offering of at least $25,000,000 and December 31, 2009. The Warrant, and all rights under the Warrant, are otherwise transferable.
3
Adjustments to the Warrant.
Adjustments in Connection with Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications and Combinations
.
The number of shares for which the Warrant
may be exercised and the exercise price applicable to the Warrant will be proportionately adjusted in the event we pay dividends or make distributions of our common stock, subdivide, combine or reclassify outstanding shares of our common stock.
Anti-dilution Adjustment.
Until the earlier of December 23, 2011 and the date the Treasury no longer holds the Warrant (and
other than in certain permitted transactions described below), if we issue any shares of common stock (or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock) for less than 90% of the market price of the common stock on the last trading day
prior to pricing such shares, then the number of shares of common stock into which the Warrant is exercisable and the exercise price will be adjusted. Permitted transactions include issuances:
|
|
|
as consideration for or to fund the acquisition of businesses and/or related assets;
|
|
|
|
in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by our board of
directors;
|
|
|
|
in connection with public or broadly marketed offerings and sales of common stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by us or our affiliates pursuant to
registration under the Securities Act, or Rule 144A thereunder on a basis consistent with capital-raising transactions by comparable financial institutions (but do not include other private transactions); and
|
|
|
|
in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights on terms existing as of December 23, 2008.
|
Other Distributions.
If we declare any dividends or distributions other than our historical, ordinary cash dividends, the exercise price of the
Warrant will be adjusted to reflect such distribution.
Certain Repurchases.
If we affect a pro rata repurchase of common stock both
the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the exercise price will be adjusted.
Business Combinations.
In the
event of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company and requiring stockholder approval, the warrantholders right to receive shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrant shall be converted into the right to
exercise the Warrant for the consideration that would have been payable to the warrantholder with respect to the shares of common stock for which the Warrant may be exercised, as if the Warrant had been exercised prior to such merger, consolidation
or similar transaction.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK
The following is a description of our common stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and certain provisions of
applicable law. The following is only a summary and is qualified by applicable law and by the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which are available as set forth under Incorporation of Certain Documents by

of shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, consisting of 12,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 700,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of January 12, 2009, 7,690,812 shares of our Class A Common Stock
and 580,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock were issued and outstanding. In addition, a total of 404,339 shares of Class A Common Stock were held in treasury.
Voting Rights
.
Each share of our Class A and Class B common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Both classes of common stock have equal
voting rights as to all matters except that, so long as at least 50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock are issued and outstanding, the holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to vote for the election of two-thirds (rounded to the nearest
whole number) of the directors, and the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to elect the remaining directors. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to any matters to be voted upon, including the election of
directors. Without cumulative voting, the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock could elect all of the directors. Under Delaware law, the holders of each class of our common stock would be entitled to vote as a separate class on
certain matters that would adversely affect or subordinate the rights of that class.
4
Dividend Rights.
Subject to the preferences that might be applicable to any shares of
preferred stock that may be outstanding, the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to share ratably in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. As a Delaware
corporation, we may not declare and pay dividends on our capital stock if the amount paid exceeds an amount equal to the surplus, which represents the excess of our net assets over paid-in capital or, if there is no surplus, our net earnings for the
current and/or immediately preceding fiscal year. Dividends cannot be paid from our net profits unless the paid-in capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock having a preference upon the distribution of our assets at the fair market
value is intact. Under applicable Delaware case law, dividends may not be paid on our capital stock if we become insolvent or the payment of the dividend will render us insolvent. To the extent we pay dividends and we are deemed to be insolvent or
inadequately capitalized, a bankruptcy court could direct the return of any dividends.
In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends is
further impacting by the funding requirements of the trust preferred securities issued by our statutory trusts, all of the common stock of which is owned by us. We are required to make quarterly payments of interest on the principal of the trust
preferred securities, which are required to be made before we can consider the payment of cash dividends on our common stock. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is also primarily dependent upon the cash dividends received from our
subsidiaries.
Conversion Rights
.
The shares of Class B common stock are convertible, at any time, on a share for share
basis, into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder.
Liquidation and Dissolution
.
Subject to
the preferences that might be applicable to any shares of our preferred stock that may then be outstanding, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock are
entitled to receive, pro rata, after payment of all of our debts and liabilities, all or our remaining assets available for distribution in cash or in kind. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of any subsidiary, the holding
company, as the sole shareholder of the subsidiarys common stock, would be entitled to receive all remaining assets of that subsidiary available for distribution in cash or in kind after payment of all debts and liabilities of the subsidiary
(including, in the case of the Bank, all deposits and accrued interest thereon).
Other Rights
.
Holders of our
Class A and Class B common stock have no preemptive rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to shares of Class A or Class B common stock.
Other Matters
.
The registrar and transfer agent for our Class A and Class B common stock is The Bank of New York. An investment
in any of our securities will not be a deposit or a savings account and will not be insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency and is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the entire investment.
DESCRIPTION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
The following is a brief description of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects. This
description is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, copies of which have been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 3.1 to the Companys Form
8-K filed on December 23, 2008 and are also available upon request from us.
General.
Under our Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, we have authority to issue up to 300,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share in one or more series. Of such number of shares of preferred stock authorized, 25,000 shares have been designated as Series A
Preferred Stock, all of which shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued to the initial selling security holder in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. No other shares of preferred stock are issued
and outstanding as of the date hereof.
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue
shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares, dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences, sinking funds, and any other rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions applicable to each such series of preferred stock, subject to limitations set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
5
Dividends Payable On Shares of Series A Preferred
Dividends Payable on Series A Preferred Stock.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive if, as and when declared by our
board of directors, out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends at a rate per annum of 5% per share on a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to each dividend period from
December 23, 2008 to, but excluding, February 15, 2014. From and after February 15, 2014, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate per annum of 9% per share on a
liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to each dividend period thereafter.
Dividends are
payable quarterly in arrears on each February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 (each a dividend payment date), starting with February 15, 2009. If any dividend payment date is not a business day, then the
next business day will be the applicable dividend payment date, and no additional dividends will accrue as a result of the applicable postponement of the dividend payment date. Dividends payable during any dividend period are computed on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends payable with respect to Series A Preferred Stock are payable to holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock on the date that is 15 calendar days immediately preceding the applicable
dividend payment date or such other record date as the board of directors or any duly authorized committee of the board determines, so long as such record date is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment
date.
If we determine not to pay any dividend or a full dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock, we are required to provide
written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock prior to the applicable dividend payment date.
We are subject to various
regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) is authorized to determine, under certain
circumstances relating to the financial condition of a bank holding company, such as the Company, that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof.
Priority of Dividends.
With respect to the payment of dividends and the amounts to be paid upon liquidation, Series A Preferred Stock will
rank:
|
|
|
senior to our common stock and all other equity securities designated as ranking junior to Series A Preferred Stock; and
|
|
|
|
at least equally with all other equity securities designated as ranking on a parity with Series A Preferred Stock (parity stock), with respect to the
payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.
|
So long
as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all prior dividend periods have been paid or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full, no dividend whatsoever shall be paid or declared
on the Companys common stock or other junior stock, other than a dividend payable solely in common stock.
In addition, we may not
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of our common stock or other junior stock unless we have paid in full all accrued dividends on Series A Preferred Stock for all prior dividend periods, other than:
|
|
|
purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of our common stock or other junior stock in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans in the
ordinary course of business;
|
|
|
|
purchases or other acquisitions by broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company solely for the purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation
transactions in junior stock or parity stock in the ordinary course of its business;
|
|
|
|
purchases or other acquisitions by broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company for resale pursuant to an offering by us of our stock that is underwritten by the
related broker-dealer subsidiary;
|
|
|
|
any dividends or distributions of rights or junior stock in connection with any stockholders rights plan or repurchases of rights pursuant to any
stockholders rights plan;
|
|
|
|
acquisition by us of record ownership of junior stock or parity stock for the beneficial ownership of any other person (other than us), including as trustees or
custodians; and
|
|
|
|
the exchange or conversion of (i) junior stock for or into other junior stock or (ii) parity stock for or into other parity stock or junior stock, but
only to the extent that (x) such acquisition is required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into before December 5, 2008 or (y) any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for
common stock.
|
6
If we repurchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock from a holder other than the Treasury, we must
offer to repurchase a ratable portion of Series A Preferred Stock then held by the Treasury.
On any dividend payment date for which full
dividends are not paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, on Series A Preferred Stock and any other parity stock, all dividends paid or declared for payment on that dividend payment date (or, with respect to parity stock with a different
dividend payment date, on the applicable dividend date therefor falling within the dividend period and related to the dividend payment date for Series A Preferred Stock), with respect to Series A Preferred Stock and any other parity stock shall be
declared ratably among the holders of any such shares who have the right to receive dividends, in proportion to the respective amounts of the undeclared and unpaid dividends relating to the dividend period.
Subject to the foregoing, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by our board of directors may be declared and paid on
our common stock and any other stock ranking equally with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such
dividend.
Redemption
.
The Series A Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to December 23, 2011 unless we have
received aggregate gross proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings (as described below) equal to $6,250,000 which equals 25% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Series A Preferred Stock on the date of issuance. In such a case, we
may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to the approval of the FRB, in whole or in part, upon notice as described below, up to a maximum amount equal to the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from such qualified equity
offerings. A qualified equity offering is a sale and issuance for cash by the Company, to persons other than the Company or its subsidiaries after December 23, 2008, of shares of perpetual preferred stock, common stock or a
combination thereof, that in each case qualify as tier 1 capital of the Company at the time of issuance under the applicable risk-based capital guidelines of the FRB. Qualified equity offerings do not include issuances made in connection with
acquisitions, issuances of trust preferred securities and issuances of common stock and/or perpetual preferred stock made pursuant to agreements or arrangements entered into, or pursuant to financing plans that were publicly announced, on or prior
to October 13, 2008.
After December 23, 2011, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time, subject to the approval
of the FRB, in whole or in part, subject to notice as described below.
In any redemption, the redemption price shall be an amount equal to
the per share liquidation amount plus accrued and unpaid dividends to but excluding the date of redemption.
The Series A Preferred Stock
will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock.
In case of any redemption of less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the shares to be redeemed will be selected either
pro rata
or in such other manner as our board of directors may determine to be fair and equitable.
We will mail notice of any redemption of Series
A Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on our books. This mailing will be at least 30 days
and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed or otherwise given as described in this paragraph will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives the notice, and
failure duly to give the notice by mail or otherwise, or any defect in the notice or in the mailing or provision of the notice, to any holder of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption will not affect the redemption of any other Series A
Preferred Stock. Each notice of redemption will set forth the applicable redemption date, the redemption price, the place where shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, and the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be
redeemed (and, if less than all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the applicable holder, the number of shares to be redeemed from the holder).
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by us will revert to authorized but unissued shares of our preferred stock.
7
Liquidation Rights.
In the event that the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates,
dissolves or winds up its affairs, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share, referred to as the total liquidation amount, equal to the fixed liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and
unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, to the date of payment. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the total liquidation amount out of our assets that are available for distribution to stockholders, after payment or
provision for payment of our debts and other liabilities but before any distribution of assets is made to holders of our common stock or any other shares ranking, as to that distribution, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock.
If our assets are not sufficient to pay the total liquidation amount in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and all holders of any shares of
outstanding parity stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and other shares of parity stock will be paid
pro rata
in accordance with the respective total liquidation amount for those holders. If the total
liquidation amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and other shares of parity stock, the holders of our common stock or any other shares ranking, as to such distribution, junior
to Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive all of our remaining assets according to their respective rights and preferences.
For purposes of the liquidation rights, neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of our property and assets, nor the consolidation or merger by the Company with or into, any other corporation or by
another corporation with or into the Company, will constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs.
Voting
Rights.
Except as indicated below or otherwise required by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.
Election of Two Directors upon Non-Payment of Dividends
. If the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more (whether or not consecutive), the authorized
number of directors then constituting the Companys board of directors will be automatically increased by two. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, together with the holders of any outstanding parity stock with like voting rights (the
Voting Parity Stock), voting as a single class, will be entitled to elect the two additional members of the Companys board of directors (the Preferred Stock Directors), at the next annual meeting (or at a special
meeting called for the purpose of electing the Preferred Stock Directors prior to the next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods have been paid in full. The
election of any Preferred Stock Director is subject to the qualification that the election would not cause us to violate the corporate governance requirement of the NASDAQ Stock Market (or any other exchange on which our securities may be listed)
that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors.
Upon the termination of the right of the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock to vote for Preferred Stock Directors, as described above, the Preferred Stock Directors will immediately cease to be qualified as directors, their term of office shall terminate immediately and the number of
authorized directors of the Company will be reduced by the number of Preferred Stock Directors that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock had been entitled to elect. The holders of a majority of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and Voting Parity Stock, voting as a class, may remove any Preferred Stock Director, with or without cause, and the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock, voting as a class, may fill any
vacancy created by the removal of a Preferred Stock Director. If the office of a Preferred Stock Director becomes vacant for any other reason, the remaining Preferred Stock Director may choose a successor to fill such vacancy for the remainder of
the unexpired term.
Other Voting Rights
. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any
other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by our restated certificate of incorporation, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting separately as a
single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:
|
|
|
any amendment or alteration of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any
shares of, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends and/or distribution of assets on our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up;
|
|
|
|
any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Series A Preferred
Stock so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of Series A Preferred Stock; or
|
8
|
|
|
any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series A Preferred Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Company with another
entity, unless the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding following any such transaction or, if the Company is not the surviving entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities and such remaining outstanding shares
of Series A Preferred Stock or preference securities have rights, references, privileges and voting powers that are not materially less favorable than the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock, taken as a
whole.
|
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on any matter on which such
holders are entitled to vote.
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the vote or consent would
otherwise be required, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds have been set aside by us for the benefit of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to
effect the redemption.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS HAVING POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS
General.
The following is a summary of the material provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
that address matters of corporate governance and the rights of stockholders. Certain of these provisions may delay or prevent takeover attempts not first approved by our board of directors (including takeovers which certain stockholders may deem to
be in their best interests). These provisions also could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of control by stockholders. The primary purpose of these provisions is to encourage negotiations with our management by
persons interested in acquiring control of Intervest Bancshares Corporation. All references to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws in effect on the date of this prospectus.
Filling Vacancies
.
Vacancies occurring in our board of directors may be filled by the stockholders or a majority of the remaining
directors, even though less than a quorum. Vacancies filled by the stockholders will be filled in accordance with the relative voting rights of the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock in connection with an election of directors, as
described above.
Amendment of Bylaws
.
Subject to certain restrictions described below, either a majority of our board of
directors or our stockholders may amend or repeal the Bylaws. Generally, the stockholders may adopt, amend, or repeal the Bylaws in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Special Meetings of Stockholders.
Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by our Chairman, our President, our
board of directors or by a committee of the board of directors whose authority includes the power to call such meetings.
Authorized But
Unissued Shares.
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. Authorized but unissued shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public or private offerings to raise
additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued shares may be to enable the board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could
render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to
sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Preferred Stock
.
Under the terms of our
Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine
its rights and preferences is to provide flexibility and eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issues. However, the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences may
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, as described above under Description of Our SecuritiesPreferred Stock.
9
Statutory and other Restrictions on Acquisition of our Capital Stock.
Provisions of our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of us. These provisions could limit the price that certain
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions give the holders of Class B common stock the right to elect two-thirds (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of our board of directors and allow us
to issue preferred stock without any vote or further action of the stockholders.
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with an interested stockholder, unless:
- prior to the time of the proposed action, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
- upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those
shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a
tender or exchange offer; or
- at or subsequent to the time of the proposed action, the business combination is approved by the board of
directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board and in policies formulated by the
board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of our company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not
contemplate the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of our company.
LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors
shall generally not be liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision will eliminate such liability except for
(i) any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders, (ii) acts and omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) liability for unlawful payment
of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. A corporation may indemnify such person against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may, in advance of the
final disposition of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by any officer or director in defending such action, provided that the officer or
director undertakes to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against
the expenses
10
(including attorneys fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided by the DGCL is not
deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any corporations bylaws, agreement, vote or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer, and any
director or officer who served any other company in any capacity at our request, in the manner and to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended in a manner more favorable to persons entitled to
indemnification; and we may, in the discretion of our board of directors, indemnify all other corporate personnel to the extent permitted by law. The right to indemnification contained in our bylaws includes the right to be paid by us the expenses
(including attorneys fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
The employment agreement
between us and Lowell Dansker contains indemnification provisions, in addition to those contained in our bylaws, which provide that we will indemnify and hold him harmless against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including legal fees,
disbursements, and any other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage or liability) arising (i) by reason of any acts or omissions or any alleged acts or omissions arising out of the persons
activities in connection with the conduct of our business (or any of our subsidiaries or affiliated entities), (ii) by reason of the performance by such person of the services to be performed pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement,
(iii) by reason of any claim or allegation of failure to perform such services in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement, or (iv) by reason of the performance of services alleged to be beyond the scope of the authority
conferred upon such person pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement; provided that, no indemnity will be provided for losses, claims, damages or liabilities described above to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such person. The indemnification provided in the employment agreements survives the expiration or earlier termination of such employment agreements and is in addition to any common law or
contractual rights of indemnification available at law or in equity, and includes all costs and expenses of enforcing the right to indemnification. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Dansker is also entitled, upon request, to the payment by us
of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by him in investigating, defending or settling any claim, loss, damage or liability that may be subject to a right of indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
under the provisions discussed above or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the securities covered by this prospectus for the selling securityholders.
We will pay
the costs and fees of registering the securities covered by this prospectus and other expenses related to the registration of the securities to the extent required by the Purchase Agreement. However, the Company will not pay any underwriting
discounts or commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, or any transfer taxes or other expenses associated with the sale of the securities, on behalf of the selling securityholders. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Company has agreed to provide certain indemnification to the selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with this offering.
The selling securityholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of the
securities.
The securities being offered hereby may be sold from time to time, by the selling securityholders by one or more of the
following methods:
|
|
|
to or through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters;
|
|
|
|
through one or more underwriters without a syndicate for them to offer and sell to the public;
|
|
|
|
through broker-dealers or agents; and
|
|
|
|
to investors directly in negotiated sales or in competitively bid transactions.
|
11
If the selling securityholders use underwriters in the sale of some or all of the securities covered by
this prospectus, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions. Unless indicated otherwise, the underwriters will be
obligated to purchase all the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are purchased.
Unless otherwise indicated, when
securities are sold through an agent, the designated agent will agree, for the period of its appointment as agent, to use its best efforts to sell the securities for the account of the selling securityholders and will receive commissions from the
selling securityholders.
Broker-dealers, agents or underwriters may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the selling securityholders and/or the purchasers of securities for whom such broker-dealers, agents or underwriters may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (this compensation to a particular broker-dealer might
be in excess of customary commissions).
The selling securityholders may also sell offered securities directly. In this case, no
underwriters or agents would be involved.
The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
|
|
at fixed prices, which may be changed;
|
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale;
|
|
|
|
at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
|
These sales
may be affected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:
|
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the preferred stock or the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including, as
of the date of this prospectus, the NASDAQ Global Market in the case of the common stock;
|
|
|
|
in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; or
|
|
|
|
through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise.
|
Any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act may also be
sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A in certain instances, rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In addition to selling the securities under this prospectus, the selling securityholders may transfer the securities in other ways not
involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer. The selling securityholders may also transfer the shares by other means not described in this prospectus. Moreover, the selling
securityholders may decide not to sell any securities offered hereby.
In addition, in connection with the sale of the securities or
otherwise, the selling securityholders may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions, which may in turn engage in short
sales of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell short the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and deliver
Class A common stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.
In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the selling securityholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling
securityholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling securityholders and the compensation of any
broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Selling securityholders who are underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the
12
Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory and regulatory liabilities, including liabilities imposed pursuant to Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the
Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
The selling securityholders and any underwriters and distribution participants will
be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares by the selling
securityholders. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period
of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to special exceptions or exemptions. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market. All of these limitations may
affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
Underwriters and others who are deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class A common stock, including the entry of stabilizing bids
or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids.
We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, upon being notified by the selling securityholders that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker, dealer, agent or underwriter for the sale of securities through a block trade, special
offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer. Such prospectus supplement will disclose:
|
|
|
the name of the selling securityholders and any participating broker, dealer, agent or underwriter;
|
|
|
|
the number and type of securities involved;
|
|
|
|
the price at which such securities were sold;
|
|
|
|
any securities exchanges on which such securities may be listed;
|
|
|
|
the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker, dealer, agent or underwriter where applicable; and
|
|
|
|
other facts material to the transaction.
|
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be
sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
The Warrant is not listed on an exchange. We do not intend to list the Warrant on any exchange.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
On December 23, 2008, we issued the securities covered by this prospectus to the Treasury, which is the initial selling securityholder under this prospectus, in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The initial selling securityholder, or its successors, including transferees, may from time to time offer and sell, pursuant to this prospectus or a supplement to this prospectus, any or all of the securities they
own. The securities to be offered under this prospectus for the account of the selling securityholders are:
|
|
|
a warrant to purchase 691,882 shares of our Class A common stock, representing upon exercise beneficial ownership of approximately 9% of our Class A
common stock as of January 12, 2009; and
|
|
|
|
691,882 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant, which shares, if issued, would represent ownership of approximately 9% of our
Class A common stock as of January 12, 2009.
|
13
For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering covered by this
prospectus, none of the securities covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling securityholders.
Beneficial ownership is
determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. To our knowledge, the initial selling securityholder has sole voting and investment power with respect to the securities,
subject to restrictions on exercise of voting rights on common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant as described in Description of the Warrant above.
We do not know when or in what amounts the selling securityholders may offer the securities for sale. The selling securityholders might not sell any or
all of the securities offered by this prospectus. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some of the securities pursuant to this offering, and because currently no sale of any of the securities is subject to any agreements,
arrangements or understandings, we cannot estimate the number of the securities that will be held by the selling securityholders after completion of the offering.
Other than with respect to the acquisition of the securities, the initial selling securityholder has not had a material relationship with us.
Information about the selling securityholders may change over time and changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus if and
when necessary.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. A
corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. A corporation may, in advance of the final disposition of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by any officer or director in defending
such action, provided that the officer or director undertakes to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under
the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided by the DGCL is
not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any corporations bylaws, agreement, vote or otherwise.
The Registrants bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was
a director or officer, and any director or officer who served any other company in any capacity at the Registrants request, in the manner and to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended in a
manner more favorable to persons entitled to indemnification; and the Registrant may, in the discretion of its board of directors, indemnify all other corporate personnel to the extent permitted by law. The right to indemnification contained in the
Registrants bylaws includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
The Employment agreement between the Registrant and Lowell S. Dansker, chairman, president, and chief executive officer contains indemnification
provisions, in addition to those contained in the Registrants bylaws, which provide that the Registrant will indemnify and hold him harmless against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including legal fees, disbursements, and any other
expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage or liability) arising (i) by reason of any acts or omissions or any alleged acts or omissions arising out of the persons activities in connection with
the conduct of the Registrants business (or any of the Registrants subsidiaries or affiliated entities), (ii) by reason of the performance by him of the services to be performed pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement,
(iii) by reason of any claim or allegation of failure to perform such services in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement, or (iv) by reason of the performance of services alleged to be beyond the scope of the authority
conferred upon such person pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement; provided that, no indemnity will be provided for losses, claims, damages or liabilities described above to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such person. The indemnification provided in the employment agreement survives the expiration or earlier
II-1
termination of such employment agreement and is in addition to any common law or contractual rights of indemnification available at law or in equity, and
includes all costs and expenses of enforcing the right to indemnification. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Dansker is also entitled, upon request, to the payment by the Registrant of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by him in
investigating, defending or settling any claim, loss, damage, or liability that may be subject to a right of indemnification.
Intervest
Bancshares Corporation also has purchased a policy of directors and officers liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to the Registrants directors, officers and controlling persons under the provisions discussed above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in
the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
|
(i)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
(ii)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
|
|
(iii)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
|
provided
,
however
, that clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement;
|
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
|
|
(3)
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
|
|
(4)
|
That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of
and included in the registration statement; and
|
|
(ii)
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant
to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such
form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and
|
|
(5)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
|
II-3
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
(i)
|
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(ii)
|
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
|
|
(iii)
|
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf
of the undersigned registrant; and
|
|
(iv)
|
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
|
|
(6)
|
That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
|
|
(7)
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions described in Item 15 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
