| SUBORDINATED NOTES AND JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES | NOTE 8 – SUBORDINATED NOTES AND JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES During July 2020, the Company entered into subordinated note agreements with two separate commercial banks. The Company had through December 31, 2020, to borrow funds up to a maximum availability of $6.0 million under each agreement, or $12.0 million total. These notes were issued with 10-year maturities, carried interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% through June 30, 2025, and carry a variable rate thereafter, payable quarterly. These notes became callable by the Company on January 1, 2026 and qualify for Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. The Company had outstanding balances of $6.0 million under these agreements at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. During August 2022, the Company entered into subordinated note agreements with an individual. The Company had outstanding balances of $6.0 million under these agreements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These notes were issued with 10-year maturities, carry interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% through August 6, 2027, and at a variable rate thereafter, payable quarterly. These notes are callable on or after August 6, 2027 and qualify for Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. The Company assumed $4.5 million in subordinated note agreements with an individual as part of the Centre acquisition January 1, 2026. These notes were entered into by Centre during January 2025. They contain 10-year maturities and carry interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% through January 1, 2030, and at a variable rate thereafter, payable quarterly. These notes are callable on or after January 2030 and qualify for Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. As a result of the acquisition of Centre on January 1, 2026, the Company acquired all of the common securities of Centre’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Centre 1 Capital Trust I (“Trust I”). The Company also assumed an adjustable rate junior subordinated note agreement with this trust. The junior subordinated debenture issued to Trust I totals $8.3 million, carries interest at a floating rate resetting on each quarterly payment date, and is due in January 2039. The junior subordinated debenture is redeemable by the Company, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Bank, on any quarterly payment date. The junior subordinated debenture represents the sole asset of Trust I. The trust is not included in the consolidated financial statements. The net effect of all agreements assumed with respect to Trust I is that the Company, through payments on its debenture, is liable for the distributions and other payments required on the trust’s preferred securities. Trust I also provides the Company with $8.0 million in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. |
