.
 
Floating-rate obligations includes equity-linked and indexed instruments. Floating interest rates are generally based on LIBOR or Euro Interbank Offered Rate.
 
U.S. dollar-denominated debt had interest rates ranging from
2.00% to 10.04% (with a weighted average rate of 4.22%) as of
both September 2019 and December 2018. These rates exclude unsecured long-term borrowings accounted for at fair value under the fair value option.
 
Non-U.S.
dollar-denominated debt had interest rates ranging from 0.12% to 13.00% (with a weighted average rate of 2.28%) as of September 2019 and 0.31% to 13.00% (with a weighted average rate of 2.43%) as of December 2018. These rates exclude unsecured long-term borrowings accounted for at fair value under the fair value option.

In the table above:
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings maturing within one year of the financial statement date and unsecured long-term borrowings that are redeemable within one year of the financial statement date at the option of the holder are excluded as they are included in unsecured short-term borrowings.
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings that are repayable prior to maturity at the option of the firm are reflected at their contractual maturity dates.
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings that are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the holder are reflected at the earliest dates such options become exercisable.
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings included $10.05 billion of adjustments to the carrying value of certain unsecured long-term borrowings resulting from the application of hedge accounting by year of maturity as follows: $18 million in 2020, $298 million in 2021, $

 million in 2022, $139 million in 2023, $488 million in 2024, and $9.15 billion in 2025 and thereafter.
The firm designates certain derivatives as fair value hedges to convert a portion of fixed-rate unsecured long-term borrowings not accounted for at fair value into floating-rate obligations. See Note 7 for further information about hedging activities.
The table below presents unsecured long-term borrowings, after giving effect to such hedging activities.

In the table above, the aggregate amounts of unsecured long-term borrowings had weighted average interest rates of 2.89
%
(3.69
%
related to fixed-rate obligations and 2.53
%
related to floating-rate obligations) as of September 2019 and 3.21% (3.79% related to fixed-rate obligations and 2.79% related to floating-rate obligations) as of December 2018. These rates exclude unsecured long-term borrowings accounted for at fair value under the fair value option.
As of both September 2019 and December 2018, the carrying value of unsecured long-term borrowings for which the firm did not elect the fair value option approximated fair value. As these borrowings are not accounted for at fair value, they are not included in the firm’s fair value hierarchy in Notes 5 through 8. Had these borrowings been included in the firm’s fair value hierarchy, substantially all would have been classified in level 2 as of both September 2019 and December 2018.
Subordinated Borrowings
Unsecured long-term borrowings includes subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt. Junior subordinated debt is junior in right of payment to other subordinated borrowings, which are junior to senior borrowings. Subordinated debt had maturities ranging from 2021 to 2045 as of both September 2019 and December 2018. Subordinated debt that matures within one year is included in unsecured short-term borrowings.

In the table above, the rate is the weighted average interest rate for these borrowings (excluding borrowings accounted for at fair value under the fair value option), including the effect of fair value hedges used to convert fixed-rate obligations into floating-rate obligations. See Note 7 for further information about hedging activities.
Junior Subordinated Debt
In 2004, Group Inc. issued $2.84 billion of junior subordinated debt to Goldman Sachs Capital I (Trust), a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust issued $2.75 billion of guaranteed preferred beneficial interests (Trust Preferred securities) to third parties and $85 million of common beneficial interests to Group Inc. As of both September 2019 and December 2018, the outstanding par amount of junior subordinated debt held by the Trust was $1.14 billion and the outstanding par amount of Trust Preferred securities and common beneficial interests issued by the Trust was $1.11 billion and $34.1 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 2018, the firm purchased Trust Preferred securities with a par amount of $27.8 million and a carrying value of $35.4 million and delivered these securities, along with $1.0 million of common beneficial interests, to the Trust in a
non-cash
exchange for a corresponding par amount and carrying value of the junior subordinated debt. Following the exchanges, these Trust Preferred securities, common beneficial interests and junior subordinated debt were extinguished. The Trust is a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the firm for regulatory and legal purposes but is not consolidated for accounting purposes.
The firm pays interest semi-annually on the junior subordinated debt at an annual rate of 6.345% and the debt matures on February 15, 2034. The coupon rate and the payment dates applicable to the beneficial interests are the same as the interest rate and payment dates for the junior subordinated debt. The firm has the right, from time to time, to defer payment of interest on the junior subordinated debt, and therefore cause payment on the Trust’s preferred beneficial interests to be deferred, in each case up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods. During any such deferral period, the firm will not be permitted to, among other things, pay dividends on or make certain repurchases of its common stock. The Trust is not permitted to pay any distributions on the common beneficial interests held by Group Inc. unless all dividends payable on the preferred beneficial interests have been paid in full.
The firm has covenanted in favor of the holders of Group Inc.’s 6.345% junior subordinated debt due February 15, 2034​​​​​​​, that, subject to certain exceptions, the firm will not redeem or purchase the capital​​​​​​​ securities issued by Goldman Sachs Capital​​​​​​​ II and Goldman Sachs Capital III (APEX Trusts) or shares of Group Inc.’s Perpetual
Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock, Series E (Series E Preferred Stock), Perpetual
Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock, Series F (Series F Preferred Stock) or Perpetual
Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock, Series O, if the redemption or purchase results in less than $253 million aggregate liquidation preference of that series outstanding, prior to specified dates in 2022 for a price that exceeds a maximum amount determined by reference to the net cash proceeds that the firm has received from the sale of qualifying securities.
The APEX Trusts hold Group Inc.’s Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock. These trusts are Delaware statutory trusts sponsored by the firm and wholly-owned finance subsidiaries of the firm for regulatory and legal purposes but are not consolidated for accounting purposes.
