Note 11. Other Borrowings and Unused Lines of Credit
In August 2025, the Company pledged a portion of its HTM municipal securities portfolio in exchange for term borrowings through a repurchase agreement. The repurchase agreements are reported as secured borrowings, as the Company maintains effective control of the financed assets. The secured borrowing carries a fixed rate of 4.0% until the remarketing date of July 1, 2028, at which time the interest rate would change based on a remarketed rate or a fixed rate of 6.0% if remarketing fails. Principal and interest are paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements accounted for as secured other borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets for December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for collateral pledged and held under our repurchase agreements.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
