JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES

NOTE 12– JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES

The Company has an investment in the First ULB Statutory Trust I that is accounted for under the equity method. The Company acquired the Trust in the acquisition of FULB. The Trust is a Delaware business formed with capital of $192,000 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Trust issued 6,200 Floating Rate Capital Trust Pass-Through Securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”), with a liquidation value of $1,000 per security, for gross proceeds of $6.2 million. The entire proceeds of the issuance were invested by the Trust in $6.4 million of Subordinated Debentures issued by FULB and assumed by the Company in the FULB acquisition, with identical maturities, repricing and payment terms as the Trust Preferred Securities. The Subordinated Debentures mature on September 15, 2034, bear a current interest rate of 4.84% (based on 3-months Libor plus 2.5%), with quarterly repricing. The Subordinated Debentures are redeemable by the Company subject to prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (“Federal Reserve”), on any March 15, June 15, September 15, or December 15. The redemption price is par plus accrued and unpaid interest, except in the case of redemption under special event which is defined in the debenture. The Trust Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption to the extent of any early redemption of the Subordinated Debentures and upon maturity of the Subordinated Debentures on September 15, 2034. As of June 30, 2018, the Trust Preferred Securities had an outstanding balance, net of mark-to-market, totaling $5.4 million.

Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security for each successive period beginning on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year. The Company also has the right to defer the payment of interest on each of the Subordinated Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters, provided that the deferral period does not extend beyond the stated maturity date. During such deferral period, distributions on the corresponding Trust Preferred Securities will also be deferred and the Company may not pay cash dividends to the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the Trust Preferred Securities.
