LIBOR-linked debt Interest on the 5.100% Subordinated Debentures was payable quarterly at the stated fixed annual rate to January 14, 2023, or any earlier redemption date, and then at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.165%. Interest on the 5.750% Subordinated Debentures was payable semi-annually at the stated fixed annual rate to August 14, 2023, or any earlier redemption date, and then quarterly at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.938%. The Company may elect to defer payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures for one or more consecutive interest periods that do not exceed five years. During a deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the
Subordinated Debentures at the then-applicable rate and deferred interest will compound on each interest payment date. If all deferred interest on the Subordinated Debentures is paid, the Company can again defer interest payments.
The administrator of LIBOR ceased the publication of the one week and two month U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR settings December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings ceased following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The Subordinated Debentures allow for the use of an alternative methodology to determine the interest rate if LIBOR is no longer available. The Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that implemented the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act on December 16, 2022. This guidance impacts the alternative rate methodology utilized by the Subordinated Debentures.
Both Subordinated Debentures replaced the three-month LIBOR with the CME Term SOFR Reference Rate published for a three-month tenor plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161% effective for interest paid under the terms of each of the Subordinated Debentures after June 30, 2023, as shown in the table below.
