Note 13 JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
As of December 31, 2007, the Company sponsored and
wholly owned 100% of the common equity of nine trusts
that were formed for the purpose of issuing Company-
obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities
(“Trust Preferred Securities”) to third-party investors and
investing the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred
Securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities of the
Company (the “Debentures”). The Debentures held by the
trusts, which totaled $4.1 billion, are the sole assets of each
trust. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and
related documents, taken together, constitute a full and
unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations
of the trusts. The guarantee covers the distributions and
payments on liquidation or redemption of the Trust Preferred
Securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the trusts.
The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in
whole or in part, on or after specific dates, at a redemption
price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid
interest to the redemption date. The Company used the
proceeds from the sales of the Debentures for general
corporate purposes.
In connection with the formation of USB Capital IX,
the trust issued redeemable Income Trust Securities (“ITS”)
to third party investors, investing the proceeds in Debentures
issued by the Company and entered into stock purchase
contracts to purchase preferred stock to be issued by the
Company in the future. Pursuant to the stock purchase
contracts, the Company is required to make contract
payments of .65 percent, also payable semi-annually,
through a specified stock purchase date expected to be
April 15, 2011. Prior to the specified stock purchase date,
the Trust is required to remarket and sell the Debentures to
third party investors to generate cash proceeds to satisfy its
obligation to purchase the Company’s Series A Non-
Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred
Stock”) pursuant to the stock purchase contracts. The
Series A Preferred Stock, when issued pursuant to the stock
purchase contracts, is expected to pay quarterly dividends
equal to the greater of three-month LIBOR plus 1.02 percent
or 3.50 percent. In connection with this transaction, the
Company also entered into a replacement capital covenant
which restricts the Company’s rights to repurchase the ITS
and to redeem or repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock.
