Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

The Corporation enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Corporation to repurchase the assets. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the

repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts (i.e., there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities).

The Corporation utilizes repurchase agreements to facilitate the needs of its customers. The fair value of securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements may decline. At December 31, 2024, the Corporation had pledged securities valued at 176% of the gross outstanding balance of repurchase agreements to manage this risk.

The remaining contractual maturity of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase on the consolidated balance sheets is presented in the following table:

Long-Term Funding

Senior Notes

In August 2024, the Corporation issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.455% Fixed Rate / Floating Rate Senior Notes Due August 29, 2030. Up to, but excluding, August 29, 2024, to, but excluding, August 29, 2029, the senior notes will have a fixed coupon interest rate of 6.455% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. During the period from, and including, August 29, 2029, to, but excluding, the maturity date, the senior notes will have a floating rate per annum equal to Compounded SOFR (as defined in the Global Note issued in connection with the senior notes) plus 3.030%, payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to August 29, 2029, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, by paying the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus a "make whole" premium plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. On August 29, 2029, the Corporation may redeem the senior notes, in whole, but not in part, by paying the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after July 30, 2030 (30 days prior to the maturity date), the Corporation may redeem the senior notes in whole or in part by paying the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The senior notes were issued at a discount.

Finance Leases

Finance leases are used in conjunction with branch operations. See Note 6 for additional disclosure regarding the Corporation’s leases.

FHLB Advances

Under agreements with the FHLB of Chicago, FHLB advances are secured by pledging qualifying collateral of the subsidiary bank (such as residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans held for sale, home equity loans, CRE loans, and investment securities). At December 31, 2024, the Corporation had $10.9 billion of total collateral capacity, primarily supported by pledged consumer and CRE loans and investment securities. At December 31, 2024, the FHLB advances had maturity or call dates ranging from 2025 through 2031, and had a weighted average interest rate of 3.77%, compared to 4.93% at December 31, 2023. The Corporation prepaid $600 million in long-term FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2024, incurring a prepayment fee of $14 million .
