During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company restructured one non-performing loan with a recorded investment of $7.0 million to grant a maturity extension of one year and included conditional extension options.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company restructured one performing loan with a recorded investment of $1.4 million to grant a maturity extension of one year. The Company also extended a payoff option on a loan with a recorded investment of $7.6 million that was classified as non-performing.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company restructured five loans that were considered troubled debt restructurings. In addition to the loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that are described above, the Company also restructured one non-performing loan with a recorded investment of $72.7 million in which the Company received a $13.3 million paydown and accepted a discounted payoff option on this loan. At the time of the restructuring, the Company reclassified the loan from non-performing to performing status as the Company believed the borrower would perform under the modified terms of the agreement. The loan was repaid in January 2014 at the discounted payoff amount. The Company restructured one performing loan with a recorded investment of $3.2 million to grant a maturity extension of one year. The Company also extended a payoff option on a loan with a recorded investment of $68.6 million that was classified as non-performing.

Generally when granting concessions, the Company will seek to protect its position by requiring incremental pay downs, additional collateral or guarantees and in some cases lookback features or equity kickers to offset concessions granted should conditions impacting the loan improve. The Company's determination of credit losses is impacted by troubled debt restructurings whereby loans that have gone through troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired, assessed for specific reserves, and are not included in the Company's assessment of general loan loss reserves. Loans previously restructured under troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default are reassessed to incorporate the Company's current assumptions on expected cash flows and additional provision expense is recorded to the extent necessary. As of September 30, 2014, there were no unfunded commitments associated with modified loans considered troubled debt restructurings.
