Long-term Borrowings

Under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company provides a blanket lien covering all of its residential first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the Company pledges as collateral its capital stock in the FHLB and deposits with the FHLB. The Company has a line of credit with the FHLB equal to 30% of the Company's assets, subject to the amount of collateral pledged. As of December 31, 2019, $846,767,000 in eligible collateral was pledged under the blanket floating lien agreement which covers both short-term and long-term borrowings.

There were no long-term borrowings as of December 31, 2019 or 2018.

In the regular course of conducting its business, the Company takes deposits from political subdivisions of the states of Virginia and North Carolina. At December 31, 2019, the Bank's public deposits totaled $256,984,000. The Company is required to provide collateral to secure the deposits that exceed the insurance coverage provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This collateral can be provided in the form of certain types of government or agency bonds or letters of credit from the FHLB. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $170,000,000 in letters of credit with the FHLB outstanding as well as $126,814,000 in agency, state, and municipal securities to provide collateral for such deposits.

Subordinated Debt

On April 1, 2019, in connection with the HomeTown merger, the Company assumed $7,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes issued to various institutional accredited investors. The notes have a maturity date of December 30, 2025 and have an annual fixed interest rate of 6.75% until December 30, 2020. Thereafter, the notes will have a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. Interest will be paid semi-annually, in arrears, on June 30 and December 30 of each year during the time that the notes remain outstanding through the fixed interest rate period or earlier redemption date. Interest will be paid quarterly, in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 throughout the floating interest rate period or earlier redemption date.

The indebtedness evidenced by the notes, including principal and interest, is unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of the Company's payments to general and secured creditors and depositors of the Bank. The notes are redeemable, without penalty, on or after December 30, 2020 and, in certain limited circumstances, prior to that date. The notes limit the Company from declaring or paying any dividend, or making any distribution on capital stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Company if the Company is not "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes, immediately prior to the declaration of such dividend or distribution, except for dividends payable solely in shares of common stock of the Company.

The carrying value of the subordinated debt includes a fair value adjustment of $17,000 at December 31, 2019. The original fair value adjustment of $30,000 was recorded as a result of the acquisition of HomeTown on April 1, 2019, and is being amortized into interest expense through December 30, 2020.
