First Midwest Capital Trust I is a Delaware statutory business trust formed in 2003 for the purpose of issuing $125.0 million in trust-preferred securities and lending the proceeds to the Company in return for junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The Company guarantees, on a limited basis, payments of distributions on the trust-preferred securities and payments on redemption of the trust-preferred securities. In 2009, the Company completed an exchange offer, which resulted in the Company retiring $39.3 million of the junior subordinated debentures at a discount of 20% and redeeming the corresponding trust-preferred securities associated therewith.

Catalyst operates in the same offices as the Bank and manages a portion of the Companys non-performing assets. The Company established Catalyst in first quarter 2010. In March 2010, the Company purchased $168.1 million of non-performing assets from the Bank and transferred them to Catalyst in the form of a capital injection. As of December 31, 2010, Catalyst had $93.1 million in non-performing assets. Since the banking subsidiarys financial position and results of operations are consolidated with the Company, this transaction did not change the presentation of these non-performing assets in the consolidated financial statements and did not impact the consolidated Companys financial position, results of operations, or regulatory capital ratios. However, the transaction improved the Banks asset quality, capital ratios, and liquidity.
