The entire proceeds of each respective issuance of trust preferred securities were invested by the separate business trusts into junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company, with identical maturity, repricing and payment terms as the respective issuance of trust preferred securities. The aggregate amount of junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company is $21,651,000, with the maturity dates for the respective debentures ranging from 2033 through 2036. Subject to regulatory approval, the Company may redeem the respective junior subordinated debentures earlier than the maturity date, based on their respective redemption dates. The respective junior subordinated debentures became redeemable in April 2008, July 2009 and March 2011.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
