as the Bank is generally in sound financial condition. Borrowing capacity is limited by the availability of
acceptable collateral. As of December 31, 2011, borrowing capacity was approximately $793 million and there
were no outstanding borrowings.
Senior Unsecured Debt
In 2010, we issued $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes that bear a coupon of 8.00 percent. The notes were
swapped to LIBOR with an all-in cost of LIBOR plus 4.65 percent.
On January 14, 2011, we issued a $2 billion five-year 6.25 percent fixed rate unsecured bond. The bond was
issued to yield 6.50 percent before underwriting fees. The rate on the bond was swapped from a fixed rate to a
floating rate equal to an all-in cost of one-month LIBOR plus 4.46 percent. The proceeds of this bond were
designated for general corporate purposes.
On January 27, 2012, we issued a two-part, $1.5 billion deal featuring five-year and 10-year unsecured
bonds. The 6.00 percent fixed rate five-year bond was issued for $750 million to yield 6.25 percent before
underwriting fees. The rate on the bond was swapped from a fixed rate to a floating rate equal to an all-in cost of
one-month LIBOR plus 5.2 percent. The 7.25 percent fixed rate 10-year bond was issued for $750 million to
yield 7.50 percent before underwriting fees. The rate on the bond was swapped from a fixed rate to a floating rate
equal to an all-in cost of one-month LIBOR plus 5.4 percent. The proceeds of these bonds were designated for
general corporate purposes.
