Note 23 – Subsequent Event

 

Sale of Derivatives

On March 15, 2023, ChoiceOne terminated all pay-floating/receive-fixed (“pay floating swap agreements”) interest rate swaps with a notational amount of $200.0 million which resulted in a loss of $4.2 million.  The pay floating swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges against specifically identified available-for-sale securities, cash and loans.  The loss was capitalized to available for sale securities and loans on the statement of financial condition and will be amortized into interest income over 13 months, or the remaining period of the agreements. 

 

With the rapid increase in interest rates during 2022 and 2023 the pay floating swap agreements were in a loss position.  At termination, the expected negative carry for the remainder of the term was greater than the exit price of the agreements.  

 

ChoiceOne has four remaining interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $400.1 million. These derivative instruments increase in value as long-term interest rates rise, which offsets the reduction in equity due to unrealized losses on securities available for sale.
