CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K
| Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 17, 2025, ENB Financial Corp (the “Company”) entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold and issued $42,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due December 31, 2035 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued by the Company to the Purchasers at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Subordinated Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to fund current and future acquisitions, strategic opportunities and growth and for investment in, or capital contributions to, its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Ephrata National Bank (the “Bank”), and which may include the redemption of all or a portion of its currently outstanding 4.00% Fixed to Floating Rate Notes due December 31, 2030. The Purchase Agreements contain certain customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, on the other hand.
The Notes have a stated maturity of December 31, 2035, are redeemable by the Company at its option, in whole or in part, on or after December 17, 2030, and at any time upon the occurrences of certain events. Prior to December 17, 2030, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Note. On or after December 17, 2030, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, on any interest payment date. Any redemption by the Company would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to but excluding the date of redemption. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holder.
The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.50% per year, from and including December 17, 2025 to, but excluding, December 31, 2030 or earlier redemption date. From and including December 31, 2030 to, but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly at a variable rate equal to the three month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 306 basis points. As provided in the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes during the applicable floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than the three month term SOFR.
Principal and interest on the Notes are subject to acceleration only in limited circumstances. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company, are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company, and rank junior in right of payment to the Company's current and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.

The Notes were offered and sold by the Company in a private placement transaction in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund and are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
The form of the Note and the form of the Purchase Agreement are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreements and the Notes are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents.
