BORROWINGS

 

Short-Term Borrowings

 

Short-term borrowings may consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and short-term FHLB advances with original maturities of one year or less.

 

Federal funds purchased, which represent unsecured lines of credit that generally mature within one to 90 days, are available to the Bank through arrangements with correspondent banks and the FRB. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no federal funds purchased outstanding.

 

Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, generally are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Bank monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis. There were no securities sold under repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Short-term FHLB advances are secured borrowings available to the Bank as an alternative funding source. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank had $10.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances with original maturities of less than one year.

 

Long-Term Borrowings

 

FHLB Advances

 

The Company may use FHLB advances with original maturities of more than one year as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances generally offer more attractive rates than other mid-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. FHLB advances with an original maturity of more than one year are classified as long-term. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any long-term FHLB advances outstanding.

 

Subordinated Debt

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that will mature on October 1, 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum for the first five years; then the interest rate will be reset quarterly to a benchmark interest rate per annum which, subject to certain conditions provided in the Notes, will be equal to the then current three-month term Secured Overnight

Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 275 basis points. The Company has used and expects to continue to use, the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, and to support organic growth plans, including the maintenance of capital ratios. Following receipt of the net proceeds of the Notes, the Company invested $5.0 million into capital surplus of the Bank. Net of unamortized debt issuance costs, the Notes were recorded as long-term borrowings totaling $10.9 million and $10.8 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s collateral exposure with the FHLB in the form of advances and letters of credit was $10.0 million and $40.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, leaving an excess of collateral of $45.4 million and $21.7 million available to utilize for additional credit as of the respective dates. The Company also has the ability to pledge additional assets to increase the availability of borrowings.
