Second-to-pay insured par outstanding represents transactions the Company has insured that are already insured by another financial guaranty insurer and where the Company’s obligation to pay under its insurance of such transactions arises only if both the obligor on the underlying insured obligation and the primary financial guaranty insurer default. The Company underwrites such transactions based on the underlying insured obligation without regard to the primary financial guaranty insurer and internally rates the transaction the higher of the rating of the underlying obligation and the rating of the primary financial guarantor. The second-to-pay insured par outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $4.2 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively.

(1) Net par outstanding eliminations relate to second-to-pay policies under which an Assured Guaranty insurance subsidiary guarantees an obligation already insured by another Assured Guaranty insurance subsidiary.
(2) Resolved pursuant to the 2022 Puerto Rico Resolutions. Consideration (e.g. Toll Bonds and CVIs) received under the HTA Plan related to the remaining insured exposure is reported in FG VIEs’ assets (see Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 8, Financial Guaranty Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Vehicles).
(3) All debt service on these insured exposures have been paid to date without any insurance claim being made on the Company.
The following tables show the scheduled amortization of the various obligations of Puerto Rico’s authorities and public corporations insured by the Company. The Company guarantees payments of debt service when those amounts are scheduled to be paid and cannot be required to pay on an accelerated basis. In the event that obligors default on their obligations, the Company would only pay the shortfall between the debt service due in any given period and the amount paid by the obligors.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, all of the Toll Bonds in the Puerto Rico Trusts were called, resulting in cash proceeds of $154 million. Such cash proceeds comprised the vast majority of the assets in the Puerto Rico Trusts as of December 31, 2023. In January 2024, such proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the liabilities of the Puerto Rico Trusts. The remaining liabilities of the Puerto Rico Trusts will be paid by the U.S. Insurance Subsidiaries under their financial guaranty policies and are no longer dependent on the credit of PRHTA.
