The Company enters into deposit sweep transactions where the transaction amounts are secured by pledged securities. These transactions consistently mature overnight from the transaction date and are governed by sweep repurchase agreements. All sweep repurchase agreements are treated as financings secured by U.S. government agencies and collateralized mortgage-backed securities, and had a carrying amount of $53.9 million at September 30, 2024, and $26.5 million at December 31, 2023. The fair value of the pledged collateral was $75.0 million at September 30, 2024, and $45.7 million at December 31, 2023. At September 30, 2024, there were no customers with secured balances exceeding 10% of stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s borrowings at the FHLBC require the Bank to be a member and invest in the stock of the FHLBC. Total borrowings are generally limited to the lower of 35% of total assets or 60% of the book value of certain mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2024, the Bank had $335.0 million in short-term advances outstanding under the FHLBC, and $405.0 million in short-term advances as of December 31, 2023. FHLBC stock held at September 30, 2024, was valued at $15.3 million, and any potential FHLBC advances were collateralized by loans and securities with a principal balance of $1.40 billion, which carried a FHLBC-calculated combined collateral value of $953.0 billion. The Company had excess collateral of $653.0 million available to secure borrowings at September 30, 2024.

In the second quarter of 2021, we issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2031 (the “Notes”). The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.50%, from and including the date of issuance to but excluding April 15, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including April 15, 2026, to, but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to three-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (as defined by the Note) plus 273 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had $59.4 million of subordinated debentures outstanding, net of deferred issuance cost.

The Company issued senior notes in December 2016 with a ten-year maturity, and terms included interest payable semiannually at 5.75% for five years. Beginning December 31, 2021, the senior debt began to pay interest at a floating rate, with interest payable quarterly at three-month LIBOR plus 385 basis points. The notes were redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, beginning with the interest payment date on December 31, 2021, and on any floating rate interest payment date thereafter, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. On June 30, 2023, we redeemed all of the $45.0 million senior notes, at which point the interest rate was 9.39%. Upon redemption, the related deferred debt issuance costs of $362,000 was also recorded as interest expense, resulting in an effective cost of this debt issuance of 12.85% for the second quarter of 2023.

On February 24, 2020, the Company originated a $20.0 million three-year term note with a correspondent bank. The term note was issued at one-month LIBOR plus 175 basis points, and required principal payments quarterly and interest payments monthly. This note was included within Notes payable and other borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the remaining $9.0 million balance of the note was paid off on February 24, 2023. The Company also has an undrawn line of credit of $30.0 million with a correspondent bank to be used for short-term funding needs; advances under this line can be outstanding up to 360 days from the date of issuance. This line of credit has not been utilized since early 2019.
