Fishers, Ind.-based First Internet Bank of Indiana entered into a loan and purchase agreement to acquire Paonia, Colo.-based First Colorado National Bank's small business lending, or SBA, division.

The total consideration for the deal will be paid in cash through a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from loan sales planned for the second quarter.

The portfolio to be acquired consists primarily of adjustable-rate loans and has a current weighted average coupon of 7.30%.

As of March 31, the balance of loans outstanding to be acquired was about $39.0 million, comprised primarily of SBA 7(a) loans.

The deal is expected to close early in the third quarter.

First Internet Bancorp, the parent company of First Internet Bank, expects to sell the guaranteed portion of new loans originated by the SBA division in the secondary market.
