Restricted Investments in Stock | 7. RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS IN STOCK
Restricted investment in stocks includes Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) with a carrying cost of $2,947,000, Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) stock with a carrying cost of $12,000, VISA Class B-2 stock with a carrying cost of $0, and Senior Housing Crime Prevention Investment Corporation ("SHCPFIC") preferred stock of $1,000,000 at June 30, 2025. FHLB and ACBB stock were issued to the Bank as a requirement to facilitate the Bank’s participation in borrowing and other banking services. The SHCPFIC stock was issued to the Bank to enable its participation in a Community Reinvestment Act qualified investment. The Bank owns 100 shares of preferred stock of SHCPFIC. These shares are not transferable without the consent of SHCPFIC and do not have a readily-determinable fair value. The Bank’s investment in FHLB stock may fluctuate, as it is based on the member banks’ use of FHLB’s services.
The Bank has a $1,813,000 non-controlling investment in a discrete class of non-voting limited liability company membership interests issued by National Energy Improvement Fund, LLC (“NEIF”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company licensed in Pennsylvania as a consumer discount company. The proceeds of the investment will be used by NEIF to fund a State-sponsored consumer loan program, the KEEP Home Energy Loan Program, designed to assist Pennsylvania homeowners in reducing their energy costs.
The Bank owns 3,251 shares of Visa Class B-2 common shares, which was necessary to participate in Visa services in support of the Bank’s credit card, debit card, and related payment programs (permissible activities under banking regulations) as a member institution. Following the resolution of Visa’s covered litigation, shares of Visa’s Class B-2 stock will be converted to Visa Class A shares using a conversion factor (1.5342 as of March 27, 2025), which is periodically adjusted to reflect VISA’s ongoing litigation costs. There is a very limited market for this stock, as only current owners of Class B-2 shares are permitted to transact in Class B-2. Due to the lack of orderly trades and public information of such trades, Visa Class B-2 stock does not have a readily determinable fair value.
These restricted investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment periodically. As of June 30, 2025, there was no impairment associated with these shares. |
