HBT Financial, Inc. is conducting an exchange offer for up to $85,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036, issuing SEC-registered New Notes for any and all outstanding unregistered Old Notes issued March 11, 2026. The New Notes evidence the same debt, with identical economic terms, but are registered under the Securities Act and generally free of transfer restrictions and registration-rights obligations. The offer expires at 11:59 p.m. New York City time on September 10, 2026, and is not subject to a minimum tender condition. HBT will receive no cash proceeds, and exchanged Old Notes will be cancelled so total indebtedness does not increase. Old Notes not tendered remain outstanding but continue to be restricted, and their liquidity may decline after the exchange. As of March 31, 2026, HBT reported $6.8 billion in total assets, $4.7 billion in loans and $5.8 billion in deposits. The notes pay a fixed 5.75% rate to March 15, 2031, then float at Three-Month Term SOFR plus 233 basis points to March 15, 2036, and are unsecured, subordinated obligations intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital.
HBT Financial, Inc. filed Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-296272) to update the exhibits section only. The prospectus and the rest of the registration statement remain unchanged and are omitted from this amendment.
The amendment describes how Delaware law and the company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide limitation of directors’ monetary liability and indemnification for directors, officers, employees, and agents when they act in good faith and in the company’s best interests. It also notes existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and lists exhibits, including the indenture and forms of 5.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036, a registration rights agreement, and a consent of the independent registered public accounting firm. Standard Securities Act undertakings regarding post-effective amendments, incorporation by reference, and limits on indemnification for Securities Act liabilities are reaffirmed.
HBT Financial, Inc. reported strong second quarter 2026 results and raised its quarterly dividend. Net income was $27.8 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, up from $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $19.2 million a year earlier. Adjusted net income was $28.5 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. Return on average assets was 1.66% and return on average tangible common equity was 17.69%, with adjusted returns of 1.70% and 18.13%.
Net interest income rose to $69.1 million, driven by higher interest-earning asset balances and improved loan and securities yields after the CNB merger. Net interest margin increased to 4.32%, or 4.38% on a tax-equivalent basis. Noninterest income was $11.8 million. Noninterest expense declined to $42.4 million as acquisition-related costs dropped to $0.3 million from $15.7 million in the prior quarter, while underlying operating costs increased with the expanded franchise.
Credit metrics remained strong, with nonperforming assets of $9.9 million, or 0.15% of total assets, and an allowance for credit losses equal to 1.27% of loans.
