 agreements with highly rated third-party financial institutions. The interest rate swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of condition (asset positions are included in other assets and liability positions are included in other liabilities). The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of cash and marketable securities, is posted by the party (i.e., the Company or the financial institution counterparty) with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds. The Company had net asset positions with its financial institution counterparties totaling $82.8 million and $136.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.Conversion Rate Swap AgreementsAs certain sales of Visa Class B restricted shares were completed, the Company entered into conversion rate swap agreements with the buyers that require payment to the buyers in the event Visa further reduces the conversion ratio of Class B into Class A unrestricted common shares. In the event of Visa increasing the conversion ratio, the buyers would be required to make payment to the Company. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the conversion rate swap agreements were valued at zero (i.e., no contingent liability recorded) as further reductions to the conversion ratio were deemed not reasonably estimable by management.Makewhole AgreementsIn 2024, the Company entered into makewhole agreements with certain buyers of its Visa Class B restricted shares that reduces the payments that would be required pursuant to the conversion rate swap agreements described above, but would require payment to the buyer in the event Visa requires additional legal reserves to settle ongoing litigation. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the makewhole agreements were valued at zero (i.e., no contingent liability recorded) as the likelihood of the Company being required to make a payment to the buyer is not reasonably estimable by management.Derivatives Designated as Hedging InstrumentsFair Value HedgesThe Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company entered into pay-fixed and receive-floating interest rate swaps to manage its exposure
