Current Hedge Positions Cash Flow (CF) Hedges Receive 215 bps versus paying 1 month SOFR on $1.6 billion $400 million of CF hedges were terminated in 1Q23 to slightly reduce asset duration to match a similar reduction in liability duration; provides $5.1 million of annual NII support given stable rates Total Termination Value on remaining active CF Hedges is approximately ($81) million as of 3/31/23 Future maturities of existing CF hedges range from December 2025 through March 2028 Fair Value (FV) Hedges $559 million in securities are hedged with $514 million of FV hedges Duration (Market Price Risk) reduced from approximately 7.3 years to 3.3 years on hedged securities Terminated $203 million in FV hedges in 1Q23 at a gain of $16.6 million (will be recognized as a book value adjustment and increase the asset yield on the underlying assets by 106 bps; provides $2.1 million of NII support over the remaining life of the underlying bonds) Current Termination Value of FV hedges is approximately $19 million at 3/31/2023 FV hedges become fully effective beginning January 2025 through July 2026; at that point we pay fixed 1.89% and receive the FF effective rate (resulting in these bonds being a variable rate of FF plus 48 bps) When FV hedges are terminated, the value of each hedge is an adjustment to the book value of the underlying security, thereby changing its current book yield and extending its duration
