(C)
The weighted average life is based on the timing of expected cash flows on the assets.
(D)
Percentage of the outstanding face amount of the security and residual interest that is subordinate to the Company’s investment.
(E)
The ABS - Non-Agency RMBS is a floating rate security and the collateral securing it is located in various geographic regions in the U.S. The Company does not have significant investments in any one geographic region.
Unrealized losses that are considered other-than-temporary are recognized currently in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges (“OTTI”) of $0.6 million, recorded in "Realized and unrealized (gain) loss on investments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded no OTTI during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Based on management’s analysis of the securities, the performance of the underlying loans and changes in market factors, the Company noted adverse changes in the expected cash flows on certain of these securities and concluded that they were other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company had no securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2019. The Company had no activity related to credit losses on securities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
