FHLB advances: At December 31, 2013, the long-term FHLB advances had a weighted average interest rate of 0.10%, compared to 1.79% at December 31, 2012. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Corporation executed $2.5 billion of five year, variable rate FHLB advances that are putable, at our option, without penalty after six months. The FHLB advances are indexed to the FHLB discount note plus 6 basis points and reprice at varying intervals, including $1.0 billion repricing at four week intervals, $750 million repricing at 13 week intervals, and $750 million repricing daily. These advances offer flexible, low cost, long-term funding that improves the Corporation's liquidity profile.

 

Senior notes: In March 2011, the Corporation issued $300 million of senior notes at a discount. In September 2011, the Corporation issued an additional $130 million of senior notes at a premium. The 2011 senior note issuances mature on March 28, 2016 and have a fixed coupon interest rate of 5.125%. In September 2012, the Corporation issued $155 million of senior notes at a discount. The 2012 senior note issuance has a fixed coupon interest rate of 1.875%, matures on March 12, 2014, and is callable beginning in February 2014. The Corporation plans to early retire the 2012 senior note issuance at par on the call date in February 2014.

 

Subordinated debt: In September 2008, the Corporation issued $26 million of 10-year subordinated debt with a 5-year no-call provision. The subordinated debt was issued at a discount, had a fixed coupon interest rate of 9.25%, and was called in September 2013. The Corporation redeemed the outstanding subordinated debt effective October 15, 2013.
