Junior Subordinated Debt Securities @ 7.405% due 2038 | 226.5 |  |  | 226.5 |
Long-term Debt | 1,641.0 |  |  | 1,617.7 |
Securities Lending Agreements | 2.5 |  |  | — |
Notes @ 7.625% due 2011 | — |  |  | 225.1 |
Short-term Debt | 2.5 |  |  | 225.1 |
Total | $ | 1,643.5 |  |  | $ | 1,842.8 |
The junior subordinated debt securities due 2038 are callable under limited, specified circumstances. The remaining callable debt may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time. The aggregate contractual principal maturities are $350.0 million in 2016 and $1,282.6 million in 2018 and thereafter. Unsecured Notes In 2010, we issued $400.0 million of unsecured senior notes in a public offering, and we purchased and retired $10.0 million of our 7.08% medium-term notes due 2024. In 2009, we issued $350.0 million of unsecured senior notes in a public offering. In 2009, we purchased and retired $1.2 million aggregate principal of our 7.19% medium-term notes due 2028 and $0.6 million aggregate principal of our 6.75% notes due 2028. Fair Value Hedge In 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% unsecured senior notes into floating rate debt. Under this agreement, we receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate of interest, based off of three-month LIBOR. The fair value adjustment of the swap resulted in an increase (decrease) of the carrying amount of the hedged debt of $8.8 million and $(14.4) million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Junior Subordinated Debt Securities In 1998, Provident Financing Trust I (the trust) issued $300.0 million of 7.405% capital securities in a public offering. These capital securities, which mature in 2038, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Unum Group, have a liquidation value of $1,000 per capital security, and have a mandatory redemption feature under certain circumstances. Unum Group issued 7.405% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to the trust in connection with the capital securities offering. The debentures mature in 2038. The sole assets of the trust are the junior subordinated debt securities. SCHEDULE II--CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT (Continued) Unum Group (Parent Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - CONTINUED Short-term Debt Short-term debt consists of debt due within the next twelve months, including that portion of debt otherwise classified as long-term, and securities lending agreements collateralized by cash. We account for all of our securities lending agreements and repurchase agreements as collateralized financings, and the carrying amount of the related short-term debt represents our liability to return cash collateral to the counterparty. In 2011, the remaining $225.1 million of our 7.625% senior notes due March 2011 matured. In 2009, the remaining $132.2 million of our outstanding 5.859% notes due May 2009 matured. Interest and Debt Expense Interest paid on long-term and short-term debt and related securities during 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $115.6 million, $110.3 million, and $84.5 million, respectively. Shelf Registration We have a shelf registration, which we renewed in November 2011, with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depository shares, stock purchase contracts, units and warrants, or preferred securities of wholly-owned finance trusts. The shelf registration enables us to raise funds from the offering of any securities covered by the shelf registration as well as any combination thereof, subject to market conditions and our capital needs. Note 3 - Guarantees In 2005, UnumProvident Finance Company plc, a wholly-owned subsidiary, issued $400.0 million of 6.85% senior debentures due 2015 in a private offering. As of December 31, 2011, $296.9 million of these debentures, which we fully and unconditionally guarantee, were outstanding. Note 4 - Cash Dividends from Subsidiaries Cash dividends received from subsidiaries during 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $800.0 million, $576.0 million, and $313.8 million, respectively.
