Insights

QCR refinanced $70M of subordinated debt at competitive rates below 7%, strengthening its capital position for future growth.

QCR Holdings has strategically refinanced its debt through a $70 million private placement of subordinated notes, divided into two tranches: $50 million in 6.875% notes due 2035 and $20 million in 7.225% notes due 2037. This transaction directly replaces the company's previously announced callable subordinated notes redemption.

The financial engineering here is noteworthy. The blended interest rate of less than 7% is competitive in the current market environment, indicating strong investor confidence in QCR's financial health. The company secured these terms through a private placement with a local entity, avoiding the broader market and leveraging its relationship-based business model.

From a capital structure perspective, this refinancing maintains QCR's Tier 2 regulatory capital without diluting shareholders or changing the overall leverage profile. The notes feature a standard structure with fixed rates for the initial period (5 years for the 2035 notes and 7 years for the 2037 notes) before converting to floating rates tied to SOFR plus a spread.

This transaction demonstrates prudent balance sheet management by extending debt maturities while maintaining financial flexibility through call options after the fixed-rate periods. For a growth-oriented financial institution, preserving regulatory capital while managing interest expense represents solid treasury management that supports long-term expansion capabilities without immediate earnings dilution.

MOLINE, Ill., Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) (the “Company”) today announced that it has completed private placements of $70 million in aggregate principal amount subordinated notes. The private placements were issued in two separate tranches consisting of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 2035 (the “2035 Notes”) and $20 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.225% Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes due September 2037 (the “2037 Notes”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placements for general corporate purposes, including the previously-announced redemption of the Company’s subordinated notes.

“These new issuances align with the Company’s July 25, 2025 announced redemption of $70 million in callable subordinated notes,” said Todd A. Gipple, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Maintaining this component of our Tier 2 capital is a prudent step that supports our long-term growth strategy and reinforces our financial strength.”

“Our relationship-based community banking model continues to generate exceptional opportunities,” Mr. Gipple added. “We successfully placed the entire new issuance privately with a local company that shares our commitment to relationships and serving the communities in which we live and work. The 2035 Notes of $50 million carry a very competitive rate of 6.875%, and when combined with the 2037 Notes, the blended rate is below 7%, highlighting the strength of this transaction.”

The 2035 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.875% per year from, and including, September 15, 2025 to, but excluding, September 15, 2030, and from, and including, September 15, 2030 to, but excluding, September 15, 2035 (or earlier redemption date) the interest rate will reset quarterly to a floating rate, which is expected to be the then current three-month term SOFR plus 350 basis points. The 2035 Notes are redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, on or after September 15, 2030, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events.
