SUBORDINATED DEBT

19.  SUBORDINATED DEBT

In June 2016, the Company issued $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating subordinated notes (the “2016 Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The 2016 Notes were non-callable for five years, had a stated maturity of June 30, 2026, and bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.0 percent per year until June 30, 2021. From June 30, 2021, to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate would reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 485 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the December 2020 subordinated debt issuance to redeem the $50.0 million June 2016 issuance.  The remaining net issuance costs of $648,000 were written-off during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.  

In December 2017, the Company issued $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating subordinated notes (the “2017 Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The 2017 Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of December 15, 2027, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75 percent per year until December 15, 2022. From December 16, 2022, to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 254 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. Debt issuance costs incurred totaled $875,000 and are being amortized to maturity.  

In December 2020, the Company issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating subordinated notes (the “2020 Notes”) to certain institutional investors.  The 2020 Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of December 22, 2030, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.50 percent per year until December 22, 2025. From December 23, 2025, to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 326 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.  Debt issuance costs incurred totaled $1.9 million and are being amortized to maturity.

The Company may use the proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes for stock repurchases, acquisitions of wealth management firms, as well as other general corporate purposes.

Subordinated debt is presented net of issuance cost on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The subordinated debt issuances are included in the Company’s regulatory total capital amount and ratio.  

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company obtained ratings from Kroll Bond Rating Agency (“KBRA”) and Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). KBRA assigned investment grade rating of BBB- and Moody’s assigned investment grade rating of Baa3 for the 2020 Notes at the time of issuance.
