The Bank has a credit line with the FHLB - DM equal to 45% of total assets depending on specific collateral eligibility. The Bank has entered into borrowing agreements with the FHLB - DM to borrow funds under a short-term floating rate cash management advance program and fixed-rate term loan agreements. All borrowings are secured by stock of the FHLB - DM, deposits with the FHLB - DM, and a blanket pledge of qualifying loans receivable. The Bank also has a credit line with the FHLB - SF in support of LBC borrowings from the FHLB - SF, but the Bank is unable to take down new advances against this line. The FHLB - SF credit line is secured by a line-item pledge of single-family residential mortgages that are specifically identified.
The Bank participates in the FRB of San Francisco Borrower-in-Custody program which collateralizes primary credit borrowings. The Company also elected to utilize the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") to leverage its highly favorable terms to fortify the Bank's liquidity position. These borrowings are repayable at any time without penalty and were the lowest cost funding source available at the time. The Federal Reserve ceased making new BTFP loans on March 11, 2024. During fiscal 2024, the Company obtained in the Merger an additional balances of $325,000,000 from the FRB's BTFP in addition to the $750,000,000 borrowed the previous year. This program offered up to 1 year fixed-rate term borrowings that are prepayable without penalty. These borrowings are not callable by the FRB and have contractual maturity dates within 1 year.
NOTE M -JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES
The Company acquired in the Mergertwo wholly-owned trust companies (the "Trusts") formed by LBC which issued guaranteed preferred beneficial interests (the "Trust Securities") in the LBC’s junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the "Notes"). The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trusts and therefore, the Trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the junior subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. The Company’s investment in the common securities of the Trusts, totaling $1.9 million, is included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The sole asset of the Trusts are the Notes that they hold.
The Trusts have invested the proceeds of such Trust Securities in the Notes. Each of the Notes has an interest rate equal to the corresponding Trust Securities distribution rate. The Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the Notes at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding five years provided that no extension period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the relevant Notes. During any such extension period, distributions on the Trust Securities will also be deferred, and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock will be restricted.
The Company has assumed LBC's contractual arrangements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the Trust Securities; (ii) the redemption price with respect to any Trust Securities called for redemption by the Trusts; and (iii) payments due upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Trusts. The Trust Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the Notes, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the Notes purchased by the Trusts, in whole or in part, on or after the redemption date. As specified in the indenture, if the Notes are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest.
The following table is a summary of the outstanding Trust Securities and Notes at September 30, 2024.
