the last or closing sale price or, if unavailable, at the closing bid price. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset
value per share. Other short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities for which no ready
market exists are valued at estimated fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The determination of fair value
involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the price
used by other investors or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the security.</P>

determination of fair value of Plymouth Rock. In valuing the Plymouth Rock Level 3 investment as of September 30, 2023, management considered
Plymouth Rock&rsquo;s financial condition and results of operations, the insurance industry outlook, and any transactions in Plymouth
Rock&rsquo;s shares. Management used significant unobservable inputs to develop a range of values for the investment. It used a comparable
company approach that utilized the following valuation multiples from selected publicly traded companies: price-to-book value (range:
1.0&ndash;2.0; average: 1.3); price-to-historical earnings (range: 10.0&ndash;39.7; average: 23.0); and price-to-forward earnings estimates
(range: 24.1&ndash;36.6; average: 28.6). Management also used Plymouth Rock&rsquo;s book value and a discounted cash flow model based
on a forecasted return on equity of approximately 11% and a cost of capital of approximately 12%. The average of these values was then
discounted for lack of marketability and control of the Plymouth Rock shares. Management considered a discount range of 25% to 40%, a
range management believes market participants would apply. An independent valuation of Plymouth Rock&rsquo;s shares obtained by Plymouth
Rock was also considered. Management presented and discussed the above information with the Corporation&rsquo;s directors, who determined
the value for the investment.</P>
