Other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) unrealized losses represents OTTI recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. This amount excludes net unrealized gains on impaired securities relating to changes in the value of such securities subsequent to the impairment measurement date through December 31, 2019 of $4.2 million.

The Company enters into various agreements that may require its fixed maturities to be held as collateral by others. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, fixed maturities with fair values of $103.9 million and $94.0 million, respectively, were held as collateral for the FHLB collateralized borrowing program. See Note 6 — “Debt and Credit Arrangements” for additional information related to the Company’s FHLB program. Additionally, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, fixed maturities with fair values of $315.2 million and $308.7 million, respectively, were on deposit with various state governmental authorities or trustees.

The amortized cost and fair value by maturity periods for fixed maturities are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, or the Company may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers.

The Company views gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities as non-credit related and through its assessment of unrealized losses has determined that these securities will recover, allowing the Company to realize the anticipated long-term economic value. The Company currently does not intend to sell, nor does it expect to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. The Company employs a systematic methodology to evaluate declines in fair value below amortized cost for fixed maturity securities. In determining impairments, the Company evaluates several factors and circumstances, including the issuer’s overall financial condition; the issuer’s credit and financial strength ratings; the issuer’s financial performance, including earnings trends and asset quality; any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer; the general outlook for market conditions in the industry or geographic region in which the issuer operates; and the degree to which the fair value of an issuer’s securities is below the Company’s amortized cost. The Company also considers any factors that might raise doubt about the issuer’s ability to make contractual payments as they come due and whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.

At December 31, 2020, scheduled maturities of mortgage participations and other loans were as follows: due in 2021 - $57.5 million; in 2022 - $27.7 million; 2023 - $16.5 million; 2024 - $77.1 million and thereafter - $288.8 million. Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties and loans may be refinanced. During 2020, the Company did not refinance any loans based on terms that differed from current market rates.

Other investments also include interests in limited partnerships of $312.5 million and $278.5 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

E. OTHER

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s exposure to concentration of investments in a single investee that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity included securities of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, as well as mortgage participations with a highly rated single third-party of $459.3 million and $432.3 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2020, there were contractual investment commitments of up to $205.3 million.
