Trust Preferred Securities
 
On September 15, 2005, RST II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed a pooled private offering of 10,000 Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security.  The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities.  The sole assets of RST II are the junior subordinated debentures of the Company and payments thereunder.  The junior subordinated debentures and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of RST II under the Capital Securities.  Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable quarterly at an interest rate that changes quarterly and is based on the 3-month LIBOR and are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.  These securities are considered Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the outstanding principal balance of the Capital Securities was $10,000,000.
 
On September 7, 2000, RST I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed a pooled private offering of 10,000 Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security.  The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities.  The sole assets of RST I are the junior subordinated debentures of the Company and payments thereunder.  The junior subordinated debentures and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of RST I under the Capital Securities.  Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable semi-annually at the annual rate of 10.6 percent and are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.  These securities are considered Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the outstanding principal balance of the Capital Securities was $10,000,000.
 
The junior subordinated debentures are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Capital Securities at maturity or their earlier redemption at the liquidation amount.  Subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required, the Capital Securities are redeemable prior to the maturity date of September 7, 2030, at the option of the Company: on or after September 7, 2020 at par; or on or after September 7, 2010 at a premium; or upon occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture.
 
On August 5, 2010, the Company notified the trustees of the Capital Securities of the Company’s election to defer (a) the quarterly interest payments on the RST II Capital Securities, beginning on September 15, 2010 and extending through December 15, 2011, and (b) the next semi-annual interest payments on the RST I Capital Securities, beginning on September 7, 2010 and extending through March 7, 2012. During any interest deferral period, the trust preferred indentures prohibit the Company from paying common stock dividends or repurchasing shares of common stock. These interest payments were brought current in October 2012, which will remove the restriction on dividends effective March 7, 2013.
 
In early 2012, regulatory authorities issued new guidance regarding the classification of the above securities. If implemented, this new guidance would, over time, eliminate the securities from Tier 1 capital. As of December 31, 2012, the proposed guidelines have been delayed. At this time, the Company cannot fully predict the future treatment of these securities for Tier 1 capital purposes.
