Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making off-balance sheet commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The Company had the following outstanding commitments:

(Dollars in thousands)	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Unused lines of credit	$	4,079,511	4,740,829
Letters of credit	82,827		88,889
Total outstanding commitments	$	4,162,338	4,829,718

The Company is a defendant in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending litigation will not have a material affect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
