Holders of the trust preferred securities issued by the Grantor Trusts are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. Each of the Grantor Trusts has the option to defer payment of the distributions for a period of up to five years, as long as the Company is not in default of the payment of interest on the subordinated debentures.

The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the trust preferred securities.
The acquired debentures were recorded on the Company’s books at their fair values on the acquisition date.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
