As both the Capital Trust I and Capital Trust II variable-rate capital securities were originally London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) linked instruments that matured after June 30, 2023, the interest rate transitioned from a LIBOR-based rate to an alternative reference rate. Both instruments were subject to the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) and neither instrument contains fallback provision or a clearly practicable fallback provision in the event that LIBOR was no longer published or quoted. The interest rate on both the Capital Trust I and Capital Trust II transitioned pursuant to the LIBOR Act to a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on July 1, 2023.
