In April 2008, the Bank issued fifteen year junior subordinated notes in the amount of $5.0 million due in 2023. These debt securities qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company and the Bank. The subordinated debt securities are callable by the Bank after five years without penalty. The interest rate is three-month LIBOR plus 3.45%. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the interest rate was 5.04% and 4.41%, respectively.

On January 13, 2017, the Company acquired $17.0 million of subordinated debt in connection with the Lake Sunapee acquisition. The original subordinated debt was issued on October 29, 2014, in connection with the execution of a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement between and among Lake Sunapee Bank Group and certain accredited investors pursuant to which Lake Sunapee Bank Group issued an aggregate of $17.0 million of subordinated notes (the “Notes”) to the accredited investors. The Notes have a maturity date of November 1, 2024, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. The Company may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of November 1, 2019, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among all of the noteholders. The Notes are not subject to repayment at the option of the noteholders. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s senior indebtedness and to the Company’s obligations to its general creditors.

Also in connection with the Lake Sunapee acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of the common securities totaling $600 thousand and $20.0 million of Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures ("Debentures") issued by NHTB Capital Trust II and NHTB Capital Trust III, which are both Connecticut statutory trusts. The Debentures were originally issued on March 30, 2014, carry a variable interest rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 2.79%, and mature in 2034. The debt is callable by the Company at the time when any interest payment is made. NHTB Trust II and Trust III are considered variable interest entities for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Trust II and Trust III are not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.
