11. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

United’s subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances. All FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a mix of single-family residential mortgage loans, commercial loans and investment securities. At September 30, 2021, United had an unused borrowing amount of approximately $7,060,714 available subject to delivery of collateral after certain trigger points. Advances may be called by the FHLB or redeemed by United based on predefined factors and penalties.

At September 30, 2021, $532,782 of FHLB advances with a weighted-average contractual interest rate of 0.34% and a weighted-average effective interest rate of 0.55% are scheduled to mature within the next four years.

The scheduled maturities of these FHLB borrowings are as follows:


Year	Amount
2021	$	500,000
2022		21,648
2023		0
2024		0

At September 30, 2021, United had a total of nineteen statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in pools of trust preferred capital securities (“Capital Securities”) with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities (“Debentures”) of United. The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial obligations of United, are the sole assets of the trusts and United’s payment under the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for the trusts. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the Debentures was $271,201 and $269,972, respectively. United also assumed $10,000 in aggregate principal amount of

fixed-to-floating

rate subordinated notes in the Carolina Financial acquisition. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the subordinated notes was $9,868 and $9,865. The amounts for the Debentures and the subordinated notes are included in the category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Other long-term borrowings.” The Capital Securities are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. United fully and unconditionally guarantees each individual trust’s obligations under the Capital Securities.

Under the provisions of the junior subordinated debt, United has the right to defer payment of interest on the junior subordinated debt at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the junior subordinated debt are deferred, the dividends on the Capital Securities are also deferred. Interest on the junior subordinated debt is cumulative.

In accordance with the fully-phased in “Basel III Capital Rules” as published by United’s primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve, United is unable to consider the Capital Securities or the subordinated notes as Tier 1 capital, but rather the Capital Securities and subordinated notes are included as a component of United’s Tier 2 capital. United can include the Capital Securities and subordinated notes in its Tier 2 capital on a permanent basis.
