9. Repurchase Agreements
In February 2008, the Bank entered into three structured repurchase transactions with two money center banks (counterparties). These are “securities sold under agreement to repurchase” transactions with 10 year maturities. Each had an initial fixed rate for either a two or three year period, and then began floating at a rate of 7% or 8% minus the three month LIBOR rate, with a cap. Each is callable by the counterparty after the initial fixed rate term and are callable quarterly thereafter until maturity. The securities sold are mortgage-backed securities issued by agencies of the U.S. Government and were sold with a margin requirement as disclosed in the table below. Since the underlying securities amortize monthly and are subject to market value fluctuations, margin calls are expected and the collateral is often exchanged by the Bank with the agreement of the counterparties. The Bank had $50,000,000 in repurchase agreements at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 quantified as follows:
| Balance | | | Initial Rate | | | Floating Rate | | | Cap | | | Margin Requirement | | | Maturity | |
| 25,000,000 | | | 1.99% | | | 8% – 3 mo LIBOR | | | 3.97% | | | 108.00% | | | 2/22/2018 | |
| 15,000,000 | | | 2.59% | | | 8% – 3 mo LIBOR | | | 4.99% | | | 108.75% | | | 2/22/2018 | |
| 10,000,000 | | | 1.71% | | | 7% – 3 mo LIBOR | | | 3.41% | | | 106.00% | | | 3/4/2018 | |
10. Junior Subordinated Debentures and Subordinated Debt
Junior Subordinated Debentures
On August 13, 2007, First Texas BHC Statutory Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust and wholly owned finance subsidiary of the Company, issued 8,000 shares of floating rate trust preferred securities at $1,000 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $8,000,000, all of which was outstanding at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016. These securities bear an interest rate of 2% over the three-month LIBOR. The trust preferred securities will mature on September 15, 2037. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities and the issuance of $248,000 in common securities to the Company were used by Trust II to purchase approximately $8,248,000 of floating rate junior subordinated debentures of the Company which have the same payment terms as the trust preferred securities. Distributions on the trust preferred securities and on the debentures issued to the Company are payable quarterly beginning September 15, 2007.
Except under certain circumstances, the common securities issued to the Company by the trust possess sole voting rights with respect to matters involving the entity. Under certain circumstances, the Company may, from time to time, defer the debentures’ interest payments, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust preferred securities and, with certain exceptions, prevent the Company from declaring or paying cash distributions on the Company’s common stock and any other future debt ranking equally with or junior to the debentures. The trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Company.
Subordinated Debt
In September 2013, First Texas BHC, Inc., offered by Private Placement Subscription Agreement to sell up to $30,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of floating rate subordinated promissory notes, due September 30, 2023, plus up to an additional $3,000,000 to cover over-subscriptions. The Private Placement Subscription Agreement offering ended December 31, 2013. Notes issued and outstanding were $22,075,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The balance outstanding of $21,973,000 and $21,969,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 respectively, is net of unamortized loan costs of $102,000 and $106,000.
The Notes were issued in the form of interest-bearing subordinated promissory notes. The Notes accrue interest each quarter at a floating rate equal to the daily average of the Wall Street Journal prime rate for the immediately prior quarterly period, with a minimum interest rate of 6.00% and a maximum interest rate of 8.50% per annum upon issuance and until maturity or redemption. Interest on the Notes will be paid quarterly, in arrears, on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2014, for all subscriptions accepted on or before December 1, 2013, and on April 15, 2014, for
