(A) DEPOSITS

Deposits are raised through the use of investment brokerage firms that package time deposits in denominations of less than $250,000 qualifying for FDIC insurance into larger pools that are sold to the Bank. The rates paid on the deposits are highly competitive with market rates paid by other financial institutions. Additionally, a brokerage fee is paid, depending on the maturity of the deposits, which averages less than 0.15%. Interest on the deposits is accrued daily and paid monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or at maturity. The Bank did not have any individual time deposits greater than $100,000 as of December 31, 2020. In October 2020, the Bank began to originate time deposits through an internet listing service. These deposits are from other financial institutions, which as of December 2020, had $995,000 in listing services deposits. The following table presents the maturity of the broker pools, excluding strategic partner reserve deposits, as of December 31, 2020.

(B) SBA DEBENTURES AND BORROWINGS

Over the years, the SBA has approved commitments for MCI and FSVC, typically for a four and half year term and a 1% fee, which was paid. During 2017, the SBA restructured FSVC’s debentures with SBA totaling $33,485,000 in principal into a new loan by the SBA to FSVC in the principal amount of $34,024,756, or the SBA Loan. In connection with the SBA Loan, FSVC executed a Note, or the SBA Note, with an effective date of March 1, 2017, in favor of SBA, in the principal amount of $34,024,756. The SBA Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, required a minimum of $5,000,000 of principal and interest to be paid on or before February 1, 2018 (which was paid) and a minimum of $7,600,000 of principal and interest to be paid on or before March 27, 2019 (which was paid), and all remaining unpaid principal and interest on or before February 1, 2020, the final maturity date, which was extended to the maturity date of the Company’s publicly-traded 9.000% Senior Notes, which is currently April 15, 2021; or the Public Debt, provided, however, that (1) upon the Company’s refinancing of such senior notes, the maturity date shall mean the earlier of (a) the maturity date of such refinanced debt or (b) April 30, 2024, and (2) upon the Company’s repayment of such senior notes without refinancing, the maturity date shall mean April 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2020, $175,485,000 of commitments had been fully utilized, there were $25,000,000 of commitments available, and $68,008,000 was outstanding, including $14,008,000 under the SBA Note.

On July 31, 2020, MCI accepted a commitment from the SBA for $25,000,000 in debenture financing with a ten-year term. MCI can draw funds under the commitment, in whole or in part, until September 24, 2024. In connection with the commitment, MCI paid the SBA a leverage fee of $250,000, with the remaining $500,000 of the fee to be paid pro rata as MCI draws under the commitment. Of the committed amount, $8,500,000 has been reserved to replace $8,500,000 of debentures which mature in 2021. The remaining balance of $16,500,000 is drawable upon the infusion of $8,250,000 of capital from either the capitalization of retained earnings or capital infusion from the Company. As of December 31, 2020, none of the commitments had been drawn.
