9. Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent transactions where the Company sells certain of its investment securities and agrees to repurchase them at a specific date in the future. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as secured borrowing and reflect the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by U.S. government agency securities, primarily mortgage-backed securities. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral securing the borrowings in the event of principal pay downs or a decrease in the market value of the pledged securities. The Company mitigates this risk by monitoring the market value and liquidity of the collateral and ensuring that it holds a sufficient level of eligible securities to cover potential increases in collateral requirements.

The following table represents the remaining maturity of repurchase agreements disaggregated by the class of securities pledged.
