12) Subordinated Debt

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“Subordinated Debt”) due June 1, 2027. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per year. Commencing on June 1, 2022, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 336.5 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.  Interest on the Subordinated Debt is payable semi-annually on June 1st and December 1st of each year through June 1, 2022 and quarterly thereafter on March 1st, June 1st, September 1st and December 1st of each year through the maturity date or early redemption date.  The Company, at its option, may redeem the Subordinated Debt, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after June 1, 2022 without a premium. Unamortized debt issuance cost totaled $400,000 at March 31, 2020.

It is understood that after December 31, 2021, the administrator in the United Kingdom with authority over the agency that currently publishes LIBOR (commonly known as the Intercontinental Exchange “ICE”), will no longer support that published index as a generally representative rate. Due to this, standardized contract language addressing the replacement of LIBOR has been published by the Alternative Rate Reference Committee (commonly known as “ARRC”) convened by, among others, the Federal Reserve Board. It is also understood that ARRC generally supports using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a replacement index (with an adjustment mechanism), although one version of the ARRC’s proposed language does not require implementation of SOFR immediately. With respect to new financings tied to LIBOR going forward, it is expected to consider the implementation of the ARRC’s proposed language (with variations as appropriate) into the documentation thereof. With respect to existing financings tied to LIBOR, the existing terms of the documentation thereof will be the primary driver of how all issues related to LIBOR are dealt with, which necessarily means each will be evaluated and responded to on a case-by-case basis as necessary. Efforts are underway to coordinate with the counter-parties under such financings to address the issues, subject to the terms of the existing documentation and any mutually agreeable amendments thereto.
