Interest expense recorded on FHLB advances totaled $78.4 million, $79.5 million, and $86.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

The long-term borrowings for securities sold under repurchase agreements to the FHLB and other counterparties totaled $587.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The weighted average interest rate of these long-term borrowings was 4.07 percent at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Interest expense on long-term securities sold under repurchase agreements amounted to $24.3 million, $24.6 million, and $25.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In 2005, the Bank issued $100.0 million of 5.0 percent subordinated notes due July 15, 2015 with no call dates or prepayments allowed. Interest on the subordinated notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at an annual rate of 5.0 percent on January 15 and July 15 of each year. On September 27, 2013, Valley issued $125.0 million of its 5.125 percent subordinated debentures due September 27, 2023 pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement previously filed with the SEC. Interest on the subordinated debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 27 and September 27 of each year. In conjunction with the issuance, Valley entered into an interest rate swap transaction used to hedge the change in the fair value of the subordinated debentures (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for further details on this derivative transaction). The subordinated debentures had a net carrying value of $121.8 million at December 31, 2013. Interest expense (excluding interest expense related to the interest rate swap) totaled $1.7 million at December 31, 2013.

The fair value of securities pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, lines of credit, FHLB advances and for other purposes required by law approximated $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
