At December 31, 2018 and 2017, these advances were secured by mortgage and commercial loans amounting to $847.3 million and $1.3 billion, respectively.

Subordinated Capital Notes

Subordinated capital notes amounted to $36.1 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In August 2003, the Statutory Trust II, a special purpose entity of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing trust redeemable preferred securities. In September 2003, $35.0 million of trust redeemable preferred securities were issued by the Statutory Trust II as part of a pooled underwriting transaction.

The proceeds from this issuance were used by the Statutory Trust II to purchase a like amount of a floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debenture issued by Oriental. The subordinated deferrable interest debenture has a par value of $36.1 million, bears interest based on 3-month LIBOR plus 295 basis points (5.74% at December 31, 2018; 4.55.% at December 31, 2017), is payable quarterly, and matures on September 17, 2033. It may be called at par after five years and quarterly thereafter (next call date March 2019). The trust redeemable preferred securities have the same maturity and call provisions as the subordinated deferrable interest debenture. The subordinated deferrable interest debenture issued by Oriental is accounted for as a liability denominated as a subordinated capital note on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The subordinated capital note is treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. Under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel III capital rules issued by the federal banking regulatory agencies in July 2013, bank holding companies are prohibited from including in their Tier 1 capital hybrid debt and equity securities, including trust preferred securities, issued on or after May 19, 2010. Any such instruments issued before May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company, such as Oriental, with total consolidated assets of less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, may continue to be included as Tier 1 capital. Therefore, Oriental is permitted to continue to include its existing trust pre
