Each FHLB advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances that are paid off earlier than maturity.  

FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of eligible real estate loans. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Republic had available borrowing capacity of $755 million and $730 million, respectively, from the FHLB. In addition to its borrowing capacity with the FHLB, Republic also had unsecured lines of credit totaling $100 million, available through various other financial institutions as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As more fully disclosed in Footnote 8 “Interest Rate Swaps” in this section of the filing, the Bank elected to extend $100 million of FHLB borrowings during May and June of 2024 through a third-party, fixed rate swap to take advantage of the inverted yield curve and lower its overall borrowing costs. As a result of this swap, the Bank was able to lock in an annualized cost of 4.42% for this $100 million over a five-year term. The total weighted average cost of all advances, including the impact of any corresponding swaps, is 4.36%.
