Note 19 — Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Loans Held for Sale

The Company purchases the guaranteed portions of SBA loans from third-party originators. The guaranteed portions of SBA loans purchased by the Company are aggregated into pools with similar characteristics to create a security representing an interest in those pools through the SBA’s fiscal transfer agent (“FTA”). The individual guaranteed portions of the SBA loans may also be sold prior to pooling into a security. The guaranteed portion of the SBA loans are pooled and securities representing interests in that pool are issued, the Company sells the pooled securities into the secondary market. These securities are carried at fair value and classified as trading instruments. Gains or losses on the sale of the securities and individual guaranteed portions of loans are both recorded in Correspondent Banking and Capital Markets Income in Noninterest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company does not retain any interest in the securities once sold. The guaranteed portion of the SBA loans that have not been pooled or sold, are reported as Loans Held for Sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair value of the purchased guaranteed portion of the SBA loans is determined based upon their committed sales price, and actual observable market color provided to secondary market participants from the originating banks who are selling their guaranteed portions of loans. These nonrecurring fair value measurements for purchased guaranteed portion of SBA loans are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
