SERP investments at fair value: The fair value of the SERP investments is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cost method investments: Shentel’s investment in CoBank’s Class A common stock, derived from the CoBank patronage program, represented substantially all of the Company’s cost method investments with a balance of $12.0 million and $12.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Shentel recognized approximately $0.7 million and $0.3 million of patronage income in other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company expects that approximately 75% of the patronage distributions will be collected in cash and 25% in equity in 2025.
