The Corporation evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

A roll-forward of the other-than-temporary impairment amount related to credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:


	2017			2016
Balance of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in earnings, beginning of period	$	2,071		$	4,054
Credit losses previously recognized on securities sold during the period		(2,071	)		0
Additional credit loss for which other-than-temporary impairment was not previously recognized		0			0
Additional credit loss for which other-than-temporary impairment was previously recognized		0			0

Balance of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in earnings, end of period	$	0		$	4,054

The adjusted amortized cost of structured pooled trust preferred securities as of December 31, 2016 is insignificant.

For the securities that comprise corporate notes and bonds and the securities that are issued by state and political subdivisions, management monitors publicly available financial information, such as filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to evaluate the securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For financial institution issuers, management monitors information from quarterly “call” report filings that are used to generate Uniform Bank Performance Reports. All other securities that were in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date were reviewed by management, and issuer-specific documents were reviewed as appropriate given the following considerations. When reviewing securities for other-than-temporary impairment, management considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. Management also considers the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost, and whether management does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, management concluded that the securities described in the previous paragraph were not other-than-temporarily impaired for the following reasons:

•

There is no indication of any significant deterioration of the creditworthiness of the institutions that issued the securities.

•

All contractual interest payments on the securities have been received as scheduled, and no information has come to management’s attention through the processes previously described which would lead to a conclusion that future contractual payments will not be timely received.

The Corporation does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

On March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, securities carried at $316,736 and $329,379, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as provided by law.

Three months ended March 31, 2017	$	2,183	$	1,383	$	0
Three months ended March 31, 2016	$	0	$	0	$	0
