Pooled Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities. The Company has invested in pooled trust preferred securities. At March 31, 2014, the current par balance of our pooled trust preferred securities was $8.2 million. The original par value of these securities was $10.3 million prior to the OTTI write-downs in 2011 and earlier, based on valuations by a third party. OTTI taken on trust preferred securities previously was the result of deterioration in the performance of the underlying collateral. The deterioration was the result of increased defaults and deferrals of dividend payments in that year, creating credit impairment along with weakening financial performance of performing collateral, increasing the risk of future deferrals of dividends and defaults. No additional OTTI was determined in the first quarter of 2014. All pooled trust preferred securities owned by the Bank are exempt from the Volcker Rule.

The following table provides additional information related to the Bank’s investment in trust preferred securities as of March 31, 2014.

(1) A 10% recovery is applied to all projected defaults by depository institutions. A 15% recovery is applied to all projected defaults by insurance companies. No recovery is applied to current defaults.

(2) Excess subordination represents the additional defaults in excess of both current and projected defaults that the CDO can absorb before the bond experiences any credit impairment. Excess subordinated percentage is calculated by (a) determining what percentage of defaults a deal can experience before the bond has credit impairment, and (b) subtracting from this default breakage percentage both total current and expected future default percentages.
