These debentures bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.85% and had a rate of 3.77% and 3.30% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company has the right to defer payments of interest for up to five years on the debentures at any time, or from time to time, with certain limitations, including a restriction on the payment of dividends to shareholders while such interest payments on the debentures have been deferred.
