The applicable date for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value less than its amortized cost on other days during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, but is not in the "Investments with an Unrealized Loss of less than 12 months" category above.

As shown in the tables above, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had unrealized losses of $95.5 million and $119.6 million on $766.0 million and $791.0 million, respectively, of securities in an unrealized loss position at those dates. As described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the 2024 Form 10-K, for any security classified as available-for-sale that is in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or more-likely-than-not will be required to sell the security, before

recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down to fair value through net income. Because the Company currently does not intend to sell those securities that have an unrealized loss at June 30, 2025, and it is not more-likely-than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company has determined that no write-down is necessary. These securities must then be evaluated for credit and non-credit related impairment. Securities with one or more of the following characteristics will be deemed to have only non-credit related impairment and will be excluded from further evaluation from credit impairment: Guaranteed by the U.S. government, insured by the FDIC, a review of market price discount to principal face value does not indicate the market's expectation of imminent principal loss, risk weighting under the FDIC’s Simplified Supervisory Formula Approach, and average credit rating. Securities that are not excluded by the aforementioned characteristics are further evaluated for credit deterioration, which would require the recognition of an allowance for credit losses. The unrealized losses associated with securities at June 30, 2025 are driven by changes in interest rates and not due to the credit quality of the securities, and accordingly, no allowance for credit losses is considered necessary related to available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2025. These securities will continue to be monitored as a part of the Company's ongoing evaluation of credit quality.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

At June 30, 2025, approximately 98% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. Because the decline in fair value of these securities is primarily attributable to interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company has determined no allowance for credit losses is necessary at June 30, 2025.

The Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of $10.7 million which had unrealized losses of approximately $1.3 million at June 30, 2025. These non-agency mortgage-backed securities were rated AAA at June 30, 2025. The Company monitors these securities to ensure it has adequate credit support and does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions

Unrealized losses on municipal bonds have not been recognized into income because the issuers' bonds are of high credit quality (rated A or higher) or the bonds have been refunded. Management does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that management will be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Asset-Backed Securities

The Company's asset-backed securities portfolio includes agency and non-agency asset backed and other amortizing debt securities with a fair value of $48.9 million which had unrealized losses of approximately $0.6 million at June 30, 2025. The Company monitors these securities to ensure it has adequate credit support and does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities.
