In April 2008, the Bank issued fifteen year junior subordinated notes in the amount of $5.0 million due in 2023. These debt securities qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company and the Bank. The interest rate was three-month LIBOR plus 3.45%, which was 6.24% at December 31, 2018. On October 29, 2014, the Company executed a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with an aggregate of $17.0 million in subordinated notes to accredited investors. The subordinated notes have a maturity date of November 1, 2024, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. The Company called both of these notes in the fourth quarter of 2019.

On November 26, 2019, the Company executed a new Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with an aggregate of $40.0 million of subordinated notes (the "Notes") to accredited investors. The Notes have a maturity date of December 1, 2029 and bear a fixed interest rate of 4.63% through December 1, 2024 payable semi-annually in arrears. From December 1, 2024 and thereafter the interest rate shall be reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3.27%. The Company has the option beginning with the interest payment date of December 1, 2024, and on any scheduled payment date thereafter, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part upon prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The transaction included debt issuance costs of $700 thousand that are netted against the subordinated debt.

The Company also has $20.6 million in floating Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Debentures”) issued by NHTB Capital Trust II (“Trust II”) and NHTB Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), which are both Connecticut statutory trusts. The Debentures were issued on March 30, 2004, carry a variable interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.79%, and mature in 2034. The debt is callable by the Company at the time when any interest payment is made. Trust II and Trust III are considered variable interest entities for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Trust II and Trust III are not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.
