Investments Under Measurement Alternative
Our investments below represent equity interests in private companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for these investments. The acquisition cost of WEBs Investments Inc. ("WEBs") is allocated using the relative fair value method between preferred stock and a call option.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Vista Bancshares, Inc. was acquired by a third party, National Bank Holdings Corporation ("NBHC"). Following this acquisition we received approximately 93,000 shares of NBHC stock, and recognized a gain of approximately $2.0 million upon liquidation of those shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded unrealized gains of approximately $2.6 million for our investment in TXSE and $0.3 million for our investment in Ridgeline, respectively, following observable price changes in the third quarter.
No impairments of these investments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or September 30, 2025. Balances are shown below (in thousands):
