1 Concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 discussed in Note 2. "Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements," finance lease obligations are now captured in Long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Short Term Debt Activity On March 7, 2019, Selective Insurance Company of America (“SICA”) borrowed short-term funds of $50 million from the FHLBNY at an interest rate of 2.64%. This borrowing was repaid on March 28, 2019. Long Term Debt Activity In First Quarter 2019, we issued $300 million of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2049 at a discount of $5.9 million which, when coupled with debt issuance costs of approximately $3.4 million, resulted in net proceeds from the offering of $290.7 million. The Senior Notes will pay interest on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2019. A portion of the proceeds from this debt issuance was used to fully redeem the $185 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2043, with the remaining $106 million being used for general corporate purposes. The 5.875% Senior Notes had pre-tax debt retirement costs of $4.2 million, or $3.3 million after tax, which was recorded in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income in First Quarter 2019. For detailed information on our indebtedness, see Note 10. "Indebtedness" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2018 Annual Report.
