The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury Securities and obligations of U.S. Government agencies and bonds from corporate issuers were caused by interest rate increases. At December 31, 2023, the Company had 28 securities in an unrealized loss position. The corporate securities are highly rated securities with no indicators of potential impairment. Based upon the ability and intent of the Company to hold these investments until maturity, and the underlying creditworthiness of the issuers, the bonds were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2023.
