Subordinated debt | 14. Subordinated debt ​ On June 30, 2025, the Company redeemed $33.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “2020 Notes”) which were sold to accredited investors on June 1, 2020. The 2020 Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The 2020 Notes bore interest at a rate of 5.375% per year for the first five years and then floated based on a benchmark rate (as defined in the 2020 Notes), provided that the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance during the floating period was at no time to be less than the 4.75%. The interest rate on the 2020 Notes adjusted to 9.08% on June 1, 2025. Interest was payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2020, for the first five years after issuance and would have been payable quarterly in arrears thereafter on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. The 2020 Notes were scheduled to mature on June 1, 2030 and were redeemable in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time on or after June 1, 2025 and prior to June 1, 2030. ​ On June 6, 2025, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements”) with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors (collectively, the “Subordinated Note Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $85.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the “Subordinated Notes”) at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount. The Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements include customary representations, warranties, and covenants. The Subordinated Notes mature on June 15, 2035 and bear interest at an initial fixed annual rate of 7.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears, to but excluding June 15, 2030. From and including June 15, 2030 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum initially equal to the then-current three month SOFR plus 411 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is entitled to redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, any time on or after June 15, 2030 on any interest payment date, and to redeem the Subordinated Notes at any time in whole upon certain other events. Any redemption of the Subordinated Notes will be subject to prior regulatory approval to the extent required. The Subordinated Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated June 6, 2025 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Subordinated Notes are not subject to any sinking fund and are not convertible into or, other than with respect to the Exchange Notes, exchangeable for any other securities or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Subordinated Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holders. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company only and are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company. The Subordinated Notes rank junior in right to payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness. The Subordinated Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. In connection with the issuance and sales of the Subordinated Notes, the Company entered into registration rights agreements with the Subordinated Notes Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to take certain actions to provide for the exchange of the Subordinated Notes for subordinated notes that are registered under the Securities Act and have substantially the same terms as the Subordinated Notes. Under certain circumstances, if the Company fails to meet its obligations under such registration rights agreements, it would be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Subordinated Notes. ​ On July 1, 2024, the Company assumed $10.3 million of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due December 15, 2036 (“Debentures”) as a result of the FNCB merger at a fair market value of $8.0 million. The Debentures are held by First National Community Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”). The Debentures and corresponding trust preferred securities (the “Trust Securities”) have a variable interest rate which resets quarterly to 3-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161% and a margin of 1.67%. The Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. The Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. Interest on the Trust Securities is deferrable until a period of twenty consecutive quarters has elapsed. The Trust Securities may be prepaid beginning December 15, 2011. The Company’s investment in the Trust is reflected on a deconsolidated basis. At September 30, 2025, the Debentures totaling $8.1 million, have been reflected in borrowed funds in the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Junior Subordinated Debentures” and interest expense of $563 thousand on the Debentures is in its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. ​
