The Trust Preferred Securities are recorded as subordinated debentures on the consolidated balance sheets, but subject to certain limitations, qualify as Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes. The proceeds from the offerings were used to fund certain acquisitions, pay off holding company debt and inject capital into the bank subsidiary. On February 13, 2012, the Company announced the suspension of the quarterly interest payments on the Trust Preferred Securities. Under the terms of the trust documents, the Company may defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. On November 17, 2014, the Company reinstated interest payments on the Trust Preferred Securities and paid the dividends in arrears to current status.
