During 2014, the Bank issued $250 million of floating rate senior notes that pay a coupon rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 44 basis points and $600 million of fixed rate senior notes that pay a coupon rate of 1.35% under the Global Bank Note program. These notes mature in 2017 and can be called beginning one month prior to their maturity date. Furthermore, the Bank added a $1.0 billion long-term FHLB advance during 2014. The Parent Company issued $650 million of fixed rate senior notes that pay a coupon rate of 2.50%. These notes mature in 2019 and can be called beginning one month prior to their maturity date. The Company had no additional material issuances, advances, repurchases, or extinguishments of long-term debt during the year.
Restrictive provisions of several long-term debt agreements prevent the Company from creating liens on, disposing of, or issuing (except to related parties) voting stock of subsidiaries. Furthermore, there are restrictions on mergers, consolidations, certain leases, sales or transfers of assets, minimum shareholders’ equity, and maximum borrowings by the Company. At December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and provisions of long-term debt agreements. As currently defined by federal bank regulators, long-term debt of $627 million qualified as Tier 1 capital at both December 31, 2014 and 2013, and long-term debt of $792 million and $1.1 billion qualified as Tier 2 capital at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company does not consolidate certain wholly-owned trusts which were formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the trust preferred securities issuances were invested in junior subordinated debentures of the Parent Company. The obligations of these debentures constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Parent Company of the trust preferred securities.
