(a)
The carrying value of medium- and long-term debt has been adjusted to reflect the gain attributable to the risk hedged with interest rate swaps.
Subordinated notes with remaining maturities greater than one year qualify as Tier 2 capital.
Comerica Bank (the Bank) is a member of the FHLB, which provides short- and long-term funding to its members through advances collateralized by real estate-related assets. Actual borrowing capacity is contingent on the amount of collateral available to be pledged to the FHLB. At June 30, 2014, $14 billion of real estate-related loans were pledged to the FHLB as blanket collateral for potential future borrowings.
In the second quarter 2014, the Corporation issued $350 million of 2.125% senior notes due 2019, which were swapped to a floating rate based on six-month LIBOR. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The Corporation also announced the intention to call, at their par value of $150 million, the 8.375% subordinated notes, originally due in 2024, on July 15, 2014.
