| BORROWINGS | NOTE 9: BORROWINGS At March 31, 2022, our borrowings consisted of $173 million in subordinated notes and $153 million of repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2021, our borrowings consisted of $26 million in subordinated notes, $166 million of repurchase agreements, and $18.5 million of borrowings under a holding company line of credit. As of March 31, 2022, $150 million of the subordinated notes are fixed-to-floating rate notes that mature in February 2032. The notes will initially bear a rate of 3.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2022 until February 1, 2027. From and including February 1, 2027 to, but excluding February 1, 2032, or the date of earlier redemption, the notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or “SOFR”), each as defined in and subject to the provisions of the indenture under which the notes were issued, plus 204 basis points (2.04%), payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2027. $23 million of the subordinated notes mature in June 2030 and bear a fixed interest rate of 6.0%, until June 30, 2025, at which time they will convert to a floating rate based on three month SOFR, plus 590 basis points (5.90%), until maturity. As a matter of practice, the Bank provides substantially all of its qualifying loans as collateral to the FHLB or the Federal Reserve Bank. FHLB advances are collateralized primarily by loans secured by single family, multifamily, and commercial real estate properties with a carrying value of $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2022. The Bank’s total borrowing capacity from the FHLB at March 31, 2022 was $2.8 billion. The Bank had in place $278 million of letters of credit from the FHLB which are used to meet collateral requirements for borrowings from the State of California and local agencies. During 2017, FFI entered into a loan agreement with an unaffiliated lender that provides for a revolving line of credit for up to $20 million. The loan agreement matures in February 2023, with an option to extend the maturity date subject to certain conditions, and bears interest at Prime rate, plus 50 basis points (0.50%). FFI’s obligations under the loan agreement are secured by, among other things, a pledge of all of its equity in FFB. We are required to meet certain financial covenants during the term of the loan, including minimum capital levels and limits on classified assets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FFI was in compliance with the covenants on this loan agreement. The Bank also has $245 million available borrowing capacity through unsecured fed funds lines, ranging in size from $20 million to $100 million, with five other financial institutions, and a $148 million secured line with the Federal Reserve Bank, secured by single family loans. None of these lines had outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Combined, the Bank’s unused lines of credit as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $3.2 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively. |
