SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

National Western has available a $75 million bank line of credit (with Moody National Bank, its custodian bank and a related party) primarily for cash management purposes. The Company is required to maintain a collateral security deposit in trust with the sponsoring bank having a fair value equal to 110% of the line of credit. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at December 31, 2021 or 2020. The Company maintained assets having an amortized value of $91.2 million (fair value of $93.7 million) on deposit with the lender at December 31, 2021.

During 2020, National Western became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB) through an initial minimum required stock investment of $4.3 million. Through this membership, National Western will have a specified borrowing capacity based upon the amount of collateral it establishes. At December 31, 2021, cash and securities in the amount of $57.3 million (fair value of $60.6 million) were pledged to FHLB.
