Uncollateralized Senior Notes
In September 2013, we entered into a Note Agreement to issue $70.0 million in aggregate of unsecured Senior Notes to the Note Holders. In December 2013, we issued Series A Notes of unsecured Senior Notes, with an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, at a rate of 3.73 percent. Series B of the unsecured Senior Notes, with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, will be issued on May 15, 2014, at a rate of 3.88 percent. The proceeds received from the issuances of the Notes will be used to reduce our short-term borrowings under our lines of credit and to fund capital expenditures.

Convertible Debentures
During the first two months of 2014, Convertible Debentures totaling $537,000 were converted to stock and $109,000 were redeemed for cash. As of March 1, 2014, we no longer have any outstanding Convertible Debentures.
