LONG-TERM BORROWINGS AND SUBORDINATED DEBT

Long-term borrowings are for original terms greater than one year and are comprised of FHLB advances, capital leases and junior subordinated debt securities. Our long-term borrowings at the Pittsburgh FHLB were $69.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and $47.2 million as of December 31, 2017. Long-term FHLB advances are secured by the same loans as short-term FHLB advances. Total loans pledged as collateral at the FHLB were $3.6 billion at December 31, 2018. We were eligible to borrow up to an additional $1.8 billion based on qualifying collateral, to a maximum borrowing capacity of $2.5 billion at December 31, 2018.

NOTE 16. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS AND SUBORDINATED DEBT - continued

We completed a private placement of the trust preferred securities to a financial institution during the first quarter of 2008. As a result, we own 100 percent of the common equity of STBA Capital Trust I. The trust was formed to issue mandatorily redeemable capital securities to third-party investors. The proceeds from the sale of the securities and the issuance of the common equity by STBA Capital Trust I were invested in junior subordinated debt securities issued by us. The third party investors are considered the primary beneficiaries of STBA Capital Trust I; therefore, the trust qualifies as a VIE, but is not consolidated into our financial statements. STBA Capital Trust I pays dividends on the securities at the same rate as the interest paid by us on the junior subordinated debt held by STBA Capital Trust I.
