Capital Trust
Trustmark Preferred Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a Delaware trust affiliate
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trustmark formed in 2006 to facilitate a private
placement of $60.0 million in trust preferred securities. As defined in applicable
accounting standards, the Trust is considered a variable interest entity for
which Trustmark is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of
the Trust are not included in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
LHFI Secured by Construction, Land Development, and Other Land – Construction
and land development loans include loans for both commercial and residential
properties to builders/developers and to consumers. This category also includes
loans secured by vacant land, except land known to be used or usable for agricultural
purposes, such as crop and livestock production. Repayment is normally derived
from the sale of the underlying property or from permanent financing, which
refinances Trustmark’s initial loan. Trustmark’s engagement in this
type of lending is restricted to projects within its geographic markets and
is generally extended to those builders and developers exhibiting the highest
credit quality with significant equity invested in the project. The underwriting
process for these loans includes analysis of the financial position and strength
of both the borrower and guarantor, experience with similar projects in the
past, market demand and prospects for successful completion of the proposed
project within the established budget and schedule, values of underlying collateral
and availability of permanent financing. Risk within this portfolio is mitigated
through adherence to policies and lending limits, periodic target credit reviews
of the different segments of this portfolio, inspection of projects throughout
the life of the loan and routine monitoring of financial information and collateral
values as they are updated.
