MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES |
NOTE G: | MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES
The Company sponsors three business trusts, Community Statutory Trust III (“CST III”), Community Capital Trust IV (“CCT IV”) and MBVT Statutory Trust I (“MBVT I”), of which 100% of the common stock is owned by the Company. The common stock of MBVT Statutory Trust I was acquired in the Merchants acquisition. The trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of such preferred securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities of the Company. The debentures held by each trust are the sole assets of such trust. Distributions on the preferred securities issued by each trust are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the trust on the debentures held by that trust and are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. The preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. The Company has entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the preferred securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees. The terms of the preferred securities of each trust are as follows:
Trust | Issuance Date | Par Amount |  | Interest Rate | Maturity Date | Call Price
CST III | 7/31/2001 | $24.5 million |  | 3 month LIBOR plus 3.58% (5.94%) | 7/31/2031 | Par
CCT IV | 12/8/2006 | $75.0 million |  | 3 month LIBOR plus 1.65% (3.99%) | 12/15/2036 | Par
MBVT I | 12/15/2004 | $20.6 million |  | 3 month LIBOR plus 1.95% (4.29%) | 12/31/2034 | Par
On July 31, 2018, the Company exercised its right to redeem all of the CST III debentures and associated preferred securities for a total of $25.2 million.
