Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 31, 2015, HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated as of September 25, 2012 (the “Plan”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor rights agent to Registrar and Transfer Company. The Plan, the purpose of which is to protect the Company’s ability to use certain tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, to offset future taxable income, was originally scheduled to expire at the close of business on September 25, 2015. The Amendment extends the final expiration date of the Plan to August 31, 2018. The Amendment also increases the purchase price of the related preferred share purchase rights under the Plan from $16.14 per right to $22.63 per right and makes other minor changes to the Plan.

The Company’s stockholders will be asked to approve the Amendment at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on November 30, 2015. If the Amendment is not approved by the Company’s stockholders prior to August 31, 2016, the Plan will expire on that date (subject to earlier expiration events as described in the Plan).

The Plan is described in, and included as Exhibit 4.1 to, the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2012. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
