The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2016 by contractual maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because of rights to call or repay obligations with or without penalties and scheduled and unscheduled principal payments on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

The unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in market rates on fixed-rate debt securities since the respective purchase dates. In all cases, the indicated impairment on these debt securities would be recovered no later than the security’s maturity date or possibly earlier if the market price for the security increases with a reduction in the yield required by the market. None of the unrealized losses relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuer’s ability to meet contractual obligations. The Company believes it has adequate liquidity and, therefore, does not plan to and, more likely than not, will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of the indicated impairment. Accordingly, the unrealized losses on these securities have been determined to be temporary.

Proceeds from the sales of securities were approximately $102.3 million with an associated realized gain of $1.1 million and $9.2 million with an associated gain of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Securities with carrying values totaling $3.4 billion at June 30, 2016 and $3.5 billion at December 31, 2015 were pledged as collateral primarily to secure public deposits or securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
