BORROWED FUNDS Subordinated Debentures In September 2015, the Company issued $80.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated debentures. $40.0 million of the subordinated debentures are callable at par after five years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2025 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.25% per year, from and including September 21, 2015 until but excluding September 30, 2020.

On May 27, 2016, the Company permanently increased the conversion ratio of the TPS from 32.2581 shares, representing a conversion price of $31 per share, to 34.4828 shares, representing a conversion price of $29 per share. This increase in the conversion ratio was accounted for as a modification of the TPS which resulted in a $0.4 million decrease in the TPS balance and a corresponding increase to Surplus which represents the increase in the fair value of the conversion option immediately before and after the modification. The decrease in the TPS balance resulting from the modification will be amortized as a yield adjustment over the remaining term of the TPS consistent with the related deferred debt issuance costs. The Company issued $16.0 million of junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) to the trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common securities of the trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities sold by the trust. In accordance with current accounting guidance, the trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the Debentures are shown as a liability. The Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.50% and mature on December 31, 2039. Consistent with regulatory requirements, the interest payments may be deferred for up to 5 years, and are cumulative. The Debentures have the same prepayment provisions as the TPS. The Debentures are included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. During the third quarter of 2016, 200 shares of TPS with a liquidation amount of $200,000 were converted into 6,896 shares of the Company’s common stock. The TPS and Debentures totaled $15.3 million at September 30, 2016 and $15.9 million at December 31, 2015.
