Short term debt includes Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) advances with an original maturity of less than one year. The Bank also maintains a $1.0 million secured line of credit with the FHLBB that bears a daily adjustable rate calculated by the FHLBB. There was an outstanding balance of $5 thousand on the FHLBB line of credit for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Bank also had capacity to borrow funds on a secured basis utilizing the Borrower in Custody (“BIC”) program and the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (the “FRB”). At March 31, 2017, the Bank’s available secured line of credit at the FRB was $133.0 million. The Bank has pledged certain loans and securities to the Federal Reserve Bank to support this arrangement. There were no borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Long-term FHLBB advances consist of advances with an original maturity of more than one year. The advances outstanding at March 31, 2017 include callable advances totaling $39.9 million, and amortizing advances totaling $700 thousand. The advances outstanding at December 31, 2016 include callable advances totaling $17.0 million, and no amortizing advances. All FHLBB borrowings, including the line of credit, are secured by a blanket security agreement on certain qualified collateral, principally all residential first mortgage loans and certain securities.

In April 2008, the Bank issued fifteen year junior subordinated notes in the amount of $5.0 million. 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 0.345%. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the interest rate was 4.58% 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, through the issuance of a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors under which the Company 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 will be unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and will 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 year 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.
