(1)

Represents adjustment needed to reflect the cumulative impact on retained earnings for reclassification of the income tax effects attributable to accumulated other comprehensive income, as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). Pursuant to the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2018-02, the Company has elected to reclassify amounts stranded in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

(2)

Represents adjustment needed to reflect the cumulative impact on retained earnings for the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities. Pursuant to the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, the Company's investments in equity securities will no longer be classified as available for sale, therefore the Company was required to reclassify the net unrealized gain recognized on the change in fair value of these equity securities from other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

~~(3)~~

Represents adjustment needed to reflect the cumulative impact on retained earnings for previously recognized stock based compensation, which included an adjustment for estimated forfeitures. Pursuant to the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, the Company has elected to recognize stock based compensation without inclusion of a forfeiture estimate, and as such has recognized this adjustment to present retained earnings consistent with this election.

Independent Bank Corp. (the “Company”) is a state chartered, federally registered bank holding company, incorporated in 1985. The Company is the sole stockholder of Rockland Trust Company (“Rockland Trust” or the “Bank”), a Massachusetts trust company chartered in 1907.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Results for the quarter ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2018~~2019 or any other interim period.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" Update No. 2016-13. Update No. 2016-13 was issued in June 2016 to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company will adopt the update on January 1, 2020 and is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial position. To date, the Company has been assessing the key differences and gaps between its current allowance methodologies and models with those it is considering to use upon adoption. ~~This~~In particular, the Company has ~~included assessing~~completed the ~~adequacy~~development and validation of ~~existing~~historical loss and recovery data ~~developing models for default~~ and has identified significant key assumptions needed to translate the data into a life of loan estimate. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company expects to perform a full parallel run of the current expected credit loss ~~estimates,~~("CECL") model in tandem with the current incurred loss model, using September 30, 2019 balances, the results of which will allow the Company to finalize and ~~finalizing vendor selection. The~~document its CECL model and processes. In addition, the Company has also begun developing accounting policies, as well as considering the need for new internal controls relevant to the updated methodologies and models. ~~The Company expects to validate its models and execute a parallel run beginning in early 2019.~~Since the Update No. 2016-13, the FASB has issued amendments intended on improving the clarification of the amendment,

FASB ASC Topic ~~842 "Leases"~~326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" Update No. ~~2016-02.~~2018-19 and Update No 2019-04. The amendment in Update No. ~~2016-02~~2018-19 was issued in ~~February 2016~~November 2018 and ~~affects any~~was intended to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The amendment in Update No. 2019-04 was issued in April 2019 and was intended to clarify stakeholders' specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in Update No. 2016-13. Update No. 2019-05 on FASB ASC Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" was also issued in May 2019. This update provides entities the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized costs basis. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that ~~enters into a lease (as that term is defined~~elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in ~~this update), with some specified scope exemptions.~~Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement - Overall. The core principle of this update is that a lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. In addition, the accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. For public companies, the amendments in this update ~~are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc.

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc., parent of Blue Hills Bank (collectively "BHB"). The transaction qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and to provide a tax-free exchange for Blue Hills Bancorp stockholders for the Company's common stock portion of consideration received. For each share of BHB common stock, stockholders had the right to receive 0.2308 shares of the Company's stock and $5.25 in cash, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Total consideration of $661.3 million consisted of 6,166,010 shares of the Company's common stock issued, as well as $161.6 million in cash, inclusive of cash in lieu of fractional shares. In addition to increasing its loan and deposit base, the Company will be able to provide a deeper product set to BHB's customers, as well as benefit from increased operating synergies, improving the long-term operating and financial results of the Company.

The Company accounted for the BHB acquisition using the acquisition method pursuant to the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC. Accordingly, the Company recorded merger and acquisition expenses of $26.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the BHB acquisition. Additionally, the acquisition method requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition:



	Net Assets Acquired at Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets
Cash	$	56,331
Investments	196,937
Loans	2,073,714
Premises and equipment	24,253
Goodwill	248,457
Core deposit and other intangibles	19,870
Other assets	147,836
Total assets acquired	2,767,398
Liabilities
Deposits	1,930,436
Borrowings	124,817
Other liabilities	50,857
Total liabilities assumed	2,106,110
Purchase price	$	661,288

Fair value adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally amortized using either an effective yield or straight-line basis over periods consistent with the average life, useful life and/or contractual term of the related assets and liabilities.

Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate the respective carrying amounts because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities.

Investments

The fair values of securities were based on quoted market prices for identical securities received from an independent, nationally-recognized, third party pricing service. Prices provided by the independent pricing service were based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, market interest rate curves, referenced credit spreads and estimated prepayment rates where applicable.

Loans

The loans acquired were recorded at fair value without a carryover of the allowance for loan losses. Fair value of the loans is determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected, as adjusted for an estimate of future credit losses and prepayments, and then applying a market-based discount rate to those cash flows. The $23.2 million discount on the loans acquired in this transaction was due to anticipated credit loss, as well as considerations for liquidity and market interest rates. In addition, the acquired loans were reviewed to determine if any loans would be deemed purchased credit impaired ("PCI"), as determined by identifying evidence of deterioration of credit quality at the purchase date combined with an assumption that all contractually required payments will not be collected. The following is a summary of these PCI loans associated with the acquisition as of the date acquired:



	As of April 1, 2019
	(Dollars in thousands)
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	14,849
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected	(5,717	)
Expected cash flows at acquisition	9,132
Interest component of expected cash flows	(1,464	)
Basis in PCI loans at acquisition - estimated fair value	7,668

Premises and Equipment

The fair value of the premises, including land, buildings and improvements, was determined based upon appraisals by licensed real estate appraisers. The appraisals were based upon the best and highest use of the property with final values determined based upon an analysis of the cost, sales comparison and income capitalization approaches for each property appraised.

Core Deposit Intangible

The fair value of the core deposit intangible is derived by comparing the interest rate and servicing costs that the financial institution pays on the core deposit liability versus the current market rate for alternative sources of financing, while factoring in estimates over the remaining life and attrition rate of the deposit accounts. The intangible asset represents the stable and relatively low cost source of funds that the deposits and accompanying relationships provide the Company, when compared to alternative funding sources.

Deposits

The fair value of acquired savings and transaction deposit accounts was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits was determined based on the present value of the contractual cash flows over the remaining period to maturity using a market interest rate.

Borrowings

The fair values of borrowings were derived based upon the present value of the principal and interest payments using a current market discount rate.

Selected Pro Forma Results

The following summarizes the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the Company acquired BHB on January 1, 2019 (2018 amounts represent combined results for the Company and BHB). The selected pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial results of the combined companies had the acquisition actually been completed at the beginning of the period presented, nor does it indicate future results for any other interim or full-year period.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment ("OTTI")

The Company continually reviews investment securities for the existence of OTTI, taking into consideration current market conditions, the extent and nature of changes in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, the credit worthiness of the obligor of the security, volatility of earnings, current analysts’ evaluations, the Company’s intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, as well as other qualitative factors. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments in an unrealized loss position, which the Company has not deemed to be OTTI, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

The Company does not intend to sell these investments and has determined, based upon available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell each security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTTI and accordingly, there was no0 OTTI recorded ~~and no cumulative credit related component of OTTI~~ for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017.~~2018. There was 0 cumulative credit related component of OTTI as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. The Company made this determination by reviewing various qualitative and quantitative factors regarding each investment category, such as current market conditions, extent and nature of changes in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, volatility of earnings, and current analysts’ evaluations.

As a result of the Company’s review of these qualitative and quantitative factors, the causes of the impairments listed in the table above by category are as follows at September 30, ~~2018:~~2019:

•

~~U.S. Government Agency Securities,~~ Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities and Agency Collateralized Mortgage ~~Obligations and Small Business Administration Pooled Securities:~~Obligations: These portfolios have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Additionally, these securities are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government or one of its agencies.


•	Single Issuer Trust Preferred Securities: This portfolio consists of one security, which is investment grade. The unrealized loss on this security is attributable to the illiquid nature of the trust preferred market in the current economic environment. Management evaluates various financial metrics for the issuers, including regulatory capital ratios of the issuers.

•

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities: This portfolio consists of one below investment grade security which is performing. The unrealized loss on this security is attributable to the illiquid nature of the trust preferred market in the current economic and regulatory environment. Management evaluates collateral credit and instrument structure, including current and expected deferral and default rates and timing. In addition, discount rates are determined by evaluating comparable spreads observed currently in the market for similar instruments.

For the purpose of estimating the allowance for loan losses, management segregates the loan portfolio into the portfolio segments detailed in the above tables. Each of these loan categories possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance for each segment. Some of the risk characteristics unique to each loan category include:

Commercial Portfolio

•

Commercial and Industrial: Loans in this category consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to: accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, or real estate, if applicable. Repayment sources consist of primarily, operating cash flow, and secondarily, liquidation of assets.

•

Commercial Real Estate: Loans in this category consist of mortgage loans to finance investment in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational and healthcare facilities and other specific use properties. Loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Repayment sources consist of, primarily, cash flow from operating leases and rents and, secondarily, liquidation of assets.

•

Commercial Construction: Loans in this category consist of short-term construction loans, revolving and nonrevolving credit lines and construction/permanent loans to finance the acquisition, development and construction or rehabilitation of real property. Project types include residential 1-4 family, condominium and multi-family homes, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational and healthcare facilities and other specific use properties. Loans may be written with nonamortizing or hybrid payment structures depending upon the type of project. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Repayment sources vary depending upon the type of project and may consist of sale or lease of units, operating cash flows or liquidation of other assets.

•

Small Business: Loans in this category consist of revolving, term loan and mortgage obligations extended to sole proprietors and small businesses for purposes of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, or real estate if applicable. Repayment sources consist primarily of operating cash flows and, secondarily, liquidation of assets.

For the commercial portfolio it is the Company’s policy to obtain personal guarantees for payment from individuals holding material ownership interests ofin the borrowing entities.

Consumer Portfolio

•

Residential Real Estate: Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current and expected income, employment status, current assets, other financial resources, credit history and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family residential properties. Residential mortgage loans also include loans to construct owner-occupied 1-4 family residential properties.

•

Home Equity: Home equity loans and credit lines are made to qualified individuals and are primarily secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied 1-4 family homes, condominiums or vacation homes. Each home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed in equal payments comprised of principal and interest. ~~Each~~The majority of home equity ~~line~~lines of credit ~~has~~have a variable rate and isare billed in interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the then outstanding principal balance plus all accrued interest over a predetermined repayment period, as set forth in the note. Additionally, the Company has the option of renewing each line of credit for additional draw periods. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan to value ratios within established policy guidelines.

•

Other Consumer: Other consumer loan products include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. These loans may be secured or unsecured.

Credit Quality

The Company continually monitors the asset quality of the loan portfolio using all available information. Based on this information, loans demonstrating certain payment issues or other weaknesses may be categorized as adversely risk-rated, delinquent, impaired, nonperforming and/or put on nonaccrual status. Additionally, in the course of resolving such loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans to match the borrower’s ability to repay the loan based on their current financial condition. If a restructured loan meets certain criteria, it may be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).

The Company reviews numerous credit quality indicators when assessing the risk in its loan portfolio. For the commercial portfolio, the Company utilizes a 10-point credit risk-rating system, which assigns a risk-grade to each loan obligation based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a commercial or small business loan transaction. Factors considered include industry and market conditions, position within the industry, earnings trends, operating cash flow, asset/liability values, debt capacity, guarantor strength, management and controls, financial reporting, collateral, and other considerations. The risk-ratings categories are defined as follows:

•

1- 6 Rating — Pass: Risk-rating grades “1” through “6” comprise those loans ranging from ‘Substantially Risk Free’ which indicates borrowers are of unquestioned credit standing and the pinnacle of credit quality, well established companies with a very strong financial condition, and loans fully secured by cash collateral, through ‘Acceptable Risk’, which indicates borrowers may exhibit declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing or above average leverage and/or weakening market fundamentals that indicate below average asset quality, margins and market share. Collateral coverage is protective.


•	7 Rating — Potential Weakness: Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Company’s asset and position. While potentially weak, currently these borrowers are marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned.

•

8 Rating — Definite Weakness Loss Unlikely: Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. ~~Loan~~Loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. However, there is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Collateral coverage may be inadequate to cover the principal obligation.


•	9 Rating — Partial Loss Probable: Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection of the debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely.


•	10 Rating — Definite Loss: Borrowers deemed incapable of repayment. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuation as active assets of the Company is not warranted.

The credit quality of the commercial loan portfolio is actively monitored and any changes in credit quality are reflected in risk-rating changes. Risk-ratings are assigned or reviewed for all new loans, when advancing significant additions to existing relationships (over $50,000), at least quarterly for all actively managed loans, and any time a significant event occurs, including at renewal of the loan.

The Company utilizes a comprehensive strategy for monitoring commercial credit quality. Actively managed commercial borrowers are required to provide updated financial information at least annually which is carefully evaluated for any changes in credit quality. Larger loan relationships are subject to a full annual credit review by an experienced credit analysis group, while continuous portfolio monitoring techniques are employed to evaluate changes in credit quality for smaller loan relationships. Additionally, the Company retains an independent loan review firm to evaluate the credit quality of the commercial loan portfolio. The independent loan review process achieves significant penetration into the commercial loan portfolio and reports the results of these reviews to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

The following tables detail the amount of outstanding principal balances relative to each of the risk-rating categories for the Company’s commercial portfolio:

For the Company’s consumer portfolio, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. However, the Company does supplement performance data with current Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores and Loan to Value (“LTV”) estimates. Current FICO data is purchased and appended to all consumer loans on a regular basis. In addition, automated valuation services and broker opinions of value are used to supplement original value data for the residential and home equity portfolios, periodically. The following table shows the weighted average FICO scores and the weighted average combined LTV ratios as of the periods indicated below:


	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		September 30 2019		December 31 2018
Residential portfolio
FICO score (re-scored)(1)	748		745		749		749

LTV (re-valued)(2)(3)	48.9	%	50.1	%	47.1	%	49.3	%

(1)

The average FICO scores at September 30, 2019 are based upon rescores available from June 2019 or origination data for loans booked through September 2019. The average FICO scores at December 31, 2018 are based upon rescores available from ~~August~~November 2018 and origination score data for loans booked in ~~September~~December 2018. ~~The average FICO scores at December 31, 2017 are based upon rescores available from August 2017 and origination score data for loans booked between September and December 2017.~~

(2)

The combined LTV ratios for September 30, ~~2018~~2019 are based upon updated automated valuations as of August ~~2018,~~2019, when available, or the most current valuation data available. The combined LTV ratios for December 31, ~~2017~~2018 are based upon updated automated valuations as of ~~August 2017,~~November 2018, when available, and/or the most current valuation data available. The updated automated valuations provide new information on loans that may be available since the previous valuation was obtained. If no new information is available, the valuation will default to the previously obtained data or most recent appraisal.


(3)	For home equity loans and lines in a subordinate lien, the LTV data represents a combined LTV, taking into account the senior lien data for loans and lines.

Asset Quality

The Company’s philosophy toward managing its loan portfolios is predicated upon careful monitoring, which stresses early detection and response to delinquent and default situations. Delinquent loans are managed by a team of collection specialists and the Company seeks to make arrangements to resolve any delinquent or default situation over the shortest possible time frame. As a general rule, loans more than 90 days past due with respect to principal or interest are classified as nonaccrual loans. The Company also may use discretion regarding other loans over 90 days delinquent if the loan is well secured and/or in process of collection.

The following table shows information regarding nonaccrual loans at the dates indicated:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In the course of resolving nonperforming loans, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The Bank attempts to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to avoid foreclosure actions. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to identify if a TDR has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related

to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two.

The following table shows the Company’s total TDRs and other pertinent information as of the dates indicated:


	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Additional commitments to lend to a borrower who has been a party to a TDR	$	1,224	$	487	$	61	$	982

The Company’s policy is to have any restructured loan which is on nonaccrual status prior to being modified remain on nonaccrual status for six months subsequent to being modified before management considers its return to accrual status. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. Additionally, loans classified as TDRs are adjusted to reflect the changes in value of the recorded investment in the loan, if any, resulting from the granting of a concession. For all residential loan modifications, the borrower must perform during a 90 day trial period before the modification is finalized.

The following tables show the modifications which occurred during the periods indicated and the change in the recorded investment subsequent to the modifications occurring:

The Company considers a loan to have defaulted when it reaches 90 days past due. ~~As of~~During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 there were 0 loans modified during the proceeding twelve months that subsequently defaulted. At September 30, 2018, there were no0 loans modified during the past twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine ~~month periods~~months ended September 30, 2018. There were no loans modified during the preceding twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three month period ended September 30, 2017. There was one residential real estate loan modified during the preceding twelve months with a recorded investment of $205,000, which subsequently defaulted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

All TDR loans are considered impaired and therefore are subject to a specific review for impairment. The impairment analysis appropriately discounts the present value of the anticipated cash flows by the loan’s contractual rate of interest in effect prior to the loan’s modification. The amount of impairment, if any, is recorded as a specific loss allocation to each individual loan in the allowance for loan losses. Commercial loans (commercial and industrial, commercial construction, commercial real estate and small business loans), residential loans, and home equity loans that have been classified as TDRs and which subsequently default are reviewed to determine if the loan should be deemed collateral dependent. In such an instance, any shortfall between the value of the collateral and the carrying value of the loan is determined by measuring the recorded investment in the loan against the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. The Company charges off the amount of any confirmed loan loss in the period when the loans, or portion of loans, are deemed uncollectible. Smaller balance consumer TDR loans are reviewed for performance to determine when a charge-off is appropriate.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

Certain loans acquired by the Company may have shown evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was therefore deemed unlikely that the Company would be able to collect all contractually required payments. As such, these loans were deemed to be PCI loans and the carrying value and prospective income recognition are predicated upon future cash flows expected to be collected. The following table displays certain information pertaining to PCI loans at the dates indicated:

NOTE 6 - BORROWINGS

On March 14, 2019, the Company issued $50.0 million of fixed to floating rate subordinated notes in a private placement transaction to institutional accredited investors. The subordinated debentures mature on March 15, 2029. However with regulatory approval, the Company may redeem the subordinated debt without penalty at any scheduled payment date on or after March 15, 2024 with 30 days notice. The subordinated notes carry interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% through March 15, 2024, after which it converts to a variable rate.

On March 28, 2019, the Company entered into a credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million, including a $50.0 million senior unsecured revolving loan credit facility and a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan credit facility. Advances under the revolving loan facility and term loan facility bear interest at an interest rate equal to the one-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus 1.15% for the revolving loan facility and one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% for the term loan facility, which is due and payable in full on March 28, 2022.

The Company used the proceeds of these borrowings for funding needs related to the second quarter closing of BHB. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company repaid in full the entire $50.0 million amount of the senior unsecured revolving loan.

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is based upon the average of the high and low price at which the Company’s common stock traded on the date of grant. The holders of restricted stock awards are entitled to receive dividends and to vote from and as of the date of grant.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards

On February ~~15, 2018,~~21, 2019, the Company granted ~~16,300~~15,900 performance-based restricted stock awards to certain executive level employees. These performance-based restricted stock awards were issued from the 2005 Employee Stock Plan and were determined to have a grant date fair value per share of ~~$71.75,~~$83.87, determined by the average of the high and low price at which the Company's common stock traded on the date of grant. The number of shares to be vested ~~will be~~is contingent upon the Company's attainment of certain performance measures outlined in the award agreement and will be measured as of the end of the three year performance period, January 1, ~~2018~~2019 through December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The awards will vest upon the earlier of the date on which it is determined if the performance goal is achieved subsequent to the performance period or March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~NOTE 7 - REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS~~

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. These repurchases are accounted for as a secured borrowing transaction for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement the Company is subject to the risk that the purchaser may default at maturity and not return the securities underlying the agreements. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company enters into repurchase agreements that stipulate that the securities underlying the agreement are not delivered to the customer and instead are held in segregated safekeeping accounts by the Company's safekeeping agents.

~~The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements allocated by source of collateral at the dates indicated:~~

NOTE 89 - DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

~~The Company early adopted ASU 2017-12,~~ ~~Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities~~ as of January 1, 2018 to incorporate the new standard’s alignment of hedge accounting qualifications with the Company’s interest rate risk management with respect to new hedges entered into during the first quarter of 2018. This new standard was adopted under a modified retrospective transition, resulting in no changes to the accounting for hedge positions entered in to prior to January 1, 2018.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally to manage the Company’s interest rate risk. Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the business requirements of its customers (“customer related positions”). The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks of customer related positions by entering into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

The Company does not enter into proprietary trading positions for any derivatives.

Interest Rate Positions

The Company may utilize various interest rate derivatives as hedging instruments against interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings and loan portfolios. An interest rate derivative is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a fixed rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged.

The following tables reflect the Company's derivative positions for the periods indicated below for interest rate derivatives which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes:

~~(1)~~	In September 2018, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate collar with a notional amount of $50.0 million, with the intention of hedging against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest income on the Company's variable-rate loans.

The maximum length of time over which the Company is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments is ~~five~~4.6 years.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gains or losses is reported as a component of other comprehensive income ("OCI"), and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company expects approximately ~~$17,000~~$5.8 million (pre-tax) to be reclassified to interest income and ~~$912,000~~$201,000 (pre-tax) to be reclassified as an offset to interest expense, from OCI related to the Company’s cash flow hedges in the next twelve months. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made and/or received on the swaps based upon the forward curve as of September 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

The Company recognized $61,000 and $183,000 of net amortization income that was an offset to interest expense related to previously terminated swaps for ~~each of~~ the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company did not recognize any amortization income related to previously terminated swaps for the three and ~~2017, respectively.~~nine month periods ended September 30, 2019.

The Company had no0 fair value hedges as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 or December 31, ~~2017.~~

Customer Related Positions

Loan level derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, offered to commercial borrowers through the Company’s loan level derivative program do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company believes that its exposure to commercial customer derivatives is limited because these contracts are simultaneously matched at inception with an offsetting dealer transaction. The commercial customer derivative program allows the Company to retain variable-rate commercial loans while allowing the customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged.

Foreign exchange contracts offered to commercial borrowers through the Company’s derivative program do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company acts as a seller and buyer of foreign exchange contracts to accommodate its customers. To mitigate the market and liquidity risk associated with these derivatives, the Company enters into similar offsetting positions.

The following tables reflect the Company’s customer related derivative positions for the periods indicated below for those derivatives not designated as hedging:

Mortgage Derivatives

~~Prior~~The Company enters into commitments to ~~closing and funding certain 1- 4 family~~fund residential mortgage loans ~~an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market~~at specified rates ~~of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction~~and times in the ~~gain on sale~~future, with the intention that loans will likely be sold subsequently in the secondary market. Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the ~~loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales~~commitment will be held for sale upon funding. These commitments are executed, under which the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors. These forward commitments carry a market price that has a strong inverse relationship to that of mortgage prices. Certain assumptions, including pull through rates and rate lock periods, are used in managing the existing and future hedges. The accuracy of underlying assumptions will impact the ultimate effectiveness of any hedging strategies.

~~The change in~~recognized at fair value on the ~~interest rate lock commitments~~consolidated balance sheet in other assets and ~~forward delivery sale commitments are~~other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded ~~in current period earnings as a component of~~within mortgage banking income. In addition, the Company has elected the fair value option

to carry loans held for sale at fair value. The change in fair value of loans held for sale is recorded in current period earnings as a component of mortgage banking income in accordance with the Company's fair value election. The ~~change in~~ fair value ~~associated with~~of loans held for sale ~~was an increase of~~increased by $272,000 and $103,000 ~~and a decrease of $108,000~~ for the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value associated

with loans held for sale increased by $1.2 million and ~~2017, respectively, and an increase of~~ $147,000 ~~and a decrease of $102,000~~ for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. These amounts were offset in earnings by the change in the fair value of mortgage derivatives. ~~Additionally,~~

Outstanding loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might change from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to changes in mortgage interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases. To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Company utilizes both "mandatory delivery" and "best efforts" forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Mandatory delivery contracts are accounted for as derivative instruments. Included in the mandatory delivery forward commitments are To Be Announced securities (“TBAs”). Certain assumptions, including pull through rates and rate lock periods, are used in managing the existing and future hedges. The accuracy of underlying assumptions will impact the ultimate effectiveness of any hedging strategies.

With mandatory delivery contracts, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. If the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor/counterparty to compensate the investor for the shortfall. Generally the Company makes this type of commitment once mortgage loans have been funded and are held for sale, in order to minimize the risk of failure to deliver the requisite volume of loans to the investor and paying pair-off fees as a result. The Company also sells TBA securities to offset potential changes in the fair value of derivative loan commitments. Generally the Company sells TBA securities upon entering derivative loan commitments for settlement in 30 to 90 days. The Company expects that mandatory delivery contracts, including TBA securities, will experience changes in fair value opposite to the changes in the fair value of derivative loan commitments.

With best effort contracts, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. Generally best efforts cash contracts have no pair off risk regardless of market movement. The price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower). The Company expects that these best efforts forward loan sale commitments will experience a net neutral shift in fair value with related derivative loan commitments.

The aggregate amount of net realized gains or losses on sales of such loans included within mortgage banking income was ~~$1.1~~$5.5 million and ~~$1.4~~$1.1 million for the three month periods ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, and ~~$2.6~~$9.5 million and ~~$3.4~~$2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

The Company's derivative agreements with institutional counterparties contain various credit-risk related contingent provisions, such as requiring the Company to maintain a well-capitalized capital position. If the Company fails to meet these conditions, the counterparties could request the Company make immediate payment or demand that the Company provide immediate and ongoing full collateralization on derivative positions in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features that were in a net liability position was ~~$34,000~~$42.2 million and ~~$4.2 million~~$176,000 at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. Although none of the contingency provisions have applied as of

September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company has posted collateral to offset the net liability exposures with institutional counterparties.

By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company's credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by the Company's Board of Directors. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote. The Company's exposure relating to institutional counterparties was ~~$27.3~~$30.0 million and ~~$7.1~~$18.4 million at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The Company’s exposure relating to customer counterparties was approximately ~~$1.5~~$71.7 million and ~~$9.5~~$6.4 million at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. Credit exposure may be reduced by the value of collateral pledged by the counterparty.

NOTE 910 - BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

The Company does net the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

NOTE 1011 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the assumptions applied by the Company when determining fair value reflect those that the Company determines market participants would use to price the asset or liability at the measurement date. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received if the asset were to be sold or that would be or paid if the liability were to be transferred in an orderly market transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When determining fair value, the Company considers pricing information and other inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and other inputs may be reduced for certain instruments, or not available at all. The unavailability or reduced availability of pricing or other input information could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC are described below:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining

fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation Techniques

There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used during the current period.

Securities

Trading and Equity Securities

These equity securities are valued based on market quoted prices. These securities are categorized in Level 1 as they are actively traded and no valuation adjustments have been applied.

U.S. Government Agency Securities

Fair value is estimated using either multi-dimensional spread tables or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, and broker/dealer quotes. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities

Fair value is estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. These securities are categorized as Level 2.

Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations and Small Business Administration Pooled Securities

The valuation model for these securities is volatility-driven and ratings based, and uses multi-dimensional spread tables. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, new issue data, broker dealer quotes, and collateral performance. If there is at least one significant model assumption or input that is not observable, these securities are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are classified as Level 2.

State, County, and Municipal Securities

The fair value is estimated using a valuation matrix with inputs including bond interest rate tables, recent transactions, and yield relationships. These securities are categorized as Level 2.

Single and Pooled Issuer Trust Preferred Securities

The fair value of trust preferred securities, including pooled and single issuer preferred securities, is estimated using external pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques. The inputs used in these valuations include benchmark yields, reported trades, new issue data, broker dealer quotes, and collateral performance. If there is at least one significant model assumption or input that is not observable, these securities are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are classified as Level 2.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for originated closed loans intended for sale. The fair value is measured on an individual loan basis using quoted market prices and when not available, comparable market value or discounted cash flow analysis may be utilized. These assets are typically classified as Level 2.

Derivative Instruments

Derivatives

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings. Additionally, in conjunction with fair value measurement guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its interest rate derivatives may also utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the

overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are properly classified as Level 2.

Mortgage Derivatives

The fair value of mortgage derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Collateral dependent loans that are deemed to be impaired are valued based upon the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. The inputs used in the appraisals of the collateral are not always observable, and in such cases the loans may be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are classified as Level 2.

Other Real Estate Owned and Other Foreclosed Assets

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") and Other Foreclosed Assets are valued at the lower of cost or fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The fair values are generally estimated based upon recent appraisal values of the property less costs to sell the property. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore OREO and Other Foreclosed Assets may be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if necessary. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. To estimate the fair value of goodwill and, if necessary, other intangible assets, the Company utilizes both a comparable analysis of relevant price multiples in recent market transactions and a discounted cash flow analysis. Both valuation models require a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the fair value as determined by the valuation model is less than the carrying value, the intangibles may be impaired. If the impairment testing resulted in impairment, the Company would classify the impaired goodwill and other intangible assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

It is the Company’s policy to recognize the transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

(1)	Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable. Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of these possible adjustments may vary.

For the fair value measurements in the table above, which are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Treasury and Finance groups determine the valuation policies and procedures. For the pricing of the securities, the Company uses third-party pricing information, without adjustment. Depending on the type of the security, management employs various techniques to analyze the pricing it receives from third parties, such as analyzing changes in market yields and in certain instances reviewing the underlying collateral of the security. Management reviews changes in fair value from period to period and performs testing to ensure that prices received from the third parties are consistent with their expectation of the market. For the securities whose market is deemed to be inactive and which are categorized as Level 3, the fair value models are calibrated and significant inputs are back tested on a quarterly basis, to the extent possible. This testing is done by the third party service provider, who performs this testing by comparing anticipated inputs to actual results. Significant changes in fair value from period to period are closely scrutinized to ensure fair value models are not flawed. The driver(s) of the respective change in fair value and the method for forecasting the driver(s) are closely considered by management.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s pooled trust preferred securities are cumulative prepayment rates, cumulative default rates, loss given default rates and cure given default rates. Significant increases (decreases) in deferrals or defaults, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Alternatively, significant increases (decreases) in cure rates, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Additionally, the Company has certain assets which are marked to fair value on a nonrecurring basis which are categorized within Level 3. These assets include collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO. The determination of the fair value amount is derived from the use of independent third party appraisals and evaluations. Real estate appraisals are prepared by firms from a predetermined list of qualified and approved appraisers or evaluators. Upon receipt of a real estate appraisal or evaluation, the Company's Commercial Real Estate Appraisal Department will review the report for compliance with regulatory and Company standards, as well as reasonableness and acceptance of the value conclusions. Any issues or concerns regarding compliance or value conclusions will be addressed with the engaged firm and the report may be adjusted or revised. If a disagreement cannot be resolved, the Company will either address the key issues and modify the report for acceptance or reject the report and re-order a new report. Ultimately, the Company will confirm the collateral value as part of its review process.

(a)	The fair values presented are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments and/or discounted cash flow analysis.

(b)

~~In accordance with recent accounting guidance, the fair~~Fair value of loans ~~as of September 30, 2018 was~~is measured using the exit price valuation method, determined primarily by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities or cash flows, while incorporating liquidity and credit assumptions. Previously the fair value of loans as of December 31, 2017 was estimated solely by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities or cash flows. Additionally, this amount excludes collateral dependent impaired loans, which are deemed to be marked to fair value on a nonrecurring basis.


(c)	FHLB stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost, therefore the carrying amount approximates fair value.


(d)	Cash surrender value of life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value (or the amount that can be realized upon surrender of the policy), therefore carrying amount approximates fair value.


(e)	Fair value of demand deposits, savings and interest checking accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.


(f)	Fair value was determined by discounting anticipated future cash payments using rates currently available for instruments with similar remaining maturities.


(g)	Fair value was determined based upon market prices of securities with similar terms and maturities.

This summary excludes certain financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying value approximates fair value. For financial assets, these may include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments. For financial liabilities, these may include federal funds purchased. These instruments would all be considered to be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Also excluded from the summary are financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, as previously described.

The Company considers its current use of financial instruments to be the highest and best use of the instruments.

NOTE 1112 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606") as of January 1, 2018 and is using the modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. The Company determined that there were no material changes to be made to revenue recognition upon adoption and that there were no practical expedients to apply to its contracts.

A portion of the Company's noninterest income is derived from contracts with customers, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. To ensure its alignment with this core principle, the Company measures revenue and the timing of recognition by applying the following five steps:


1.	Identify the contract(s) with customers


2.	Identify the performance obligations


3.	Determine the transaction price


4.	Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations


5.	Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Company has disaggregated its revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table presents the revenue streams that the Company has disaggregated as of the periods indicated:

In each of the revenue streams identified above, there were no significant judgments made in determining or allocating the transaction price, as the consideration and service requirements are generally explicitly identified in the associated contracts. Additional information related to each of the revenue streams is further noted ~~below:~~below.

Deposit Account Fees

The Company offers various deposit account products to its customers governed by specific deposit agreements applicable to either personal customers or business customers. These agreements identify the general conditions and obligations of both parties, and include standard information regarding deposit account related fees.

Deposit account services include providing access to deposit accounts as well as access to the various deposit transactional services of the Company. These transactional services are primarily those that are identified in the standard fee schedule, and include, but are not limited to, services such as overdraft protection, wire transfer, and check collection. Revenue is recognized in conjunction with the various services being provided. For example, the Company may assess monthly fixed service fees associated with the customer having access to ~~the~~a deposit account, which can vary depending on the account type and daily account balance. In addition, the Company may also assess separate fixed fees associated with and at the time specific transactions are entered into by the customer. As such, the Company considers its performance obligations to be met concurrently with providing the account access or completing the requested deposit transaction.

Cash Management

Cash management services are a subset of the ~~Deposit~~deposit account fees revenue stream. These services primarily include ACH transaction processing, positive pay and remote deposit services. These services are also governed by separate agreements entered into with the customer. The fee arrangement for these services is structured to assess fees under one of two scenarios, either a per transaction fee arrangement or an earnings credit analysis arrangement. Under the per transaction fee arrangement, fixed fees are assessed concurrently with customers executing the transactions, and as such, the Company considers its performance obligations to be met concurrently with completing the requested transaction. Under the earnings credit analysis arrangement, the Company provides a monthly earnings credit to the customer that is negotiated and determined based on various factors. The credit is then available to absorb the per transaction fees that are assessed on the customer's deposit account activity for the month. Any amount of the transactional fees in excess of the earnings credit is recognized as revenue in that month.

Interchange Fees

The Company earns interchange revenue from its issuance of credit and debit cards granted through its membership in various card payment networks. The Company provides credit cards and debit cards to its customers which are authorized and settled through these payment networks, and in exchange, the Company earns revenue as determined by each payment network's interchange program. The revenue is recognized concurrently with the settlement of card transactions within each network.

ATM Fees

The Company deploys automated teller machines (ATMs) as part of its overall branch network. Certain transactions performed at the ATMs require customers to acknowledge and pay a fee for the requested service. Certain ATM fees are disclosed in the deposit account agreement fee schedules, whereas those assessed to non-Rockland Trust deposit holders are solely determined during the transaction at the machine.

The ATM fee is a fixed dollar per transaction amount, and as such, is recognized concurrently with the overall daily processing and settlement of the ATM activity.

Investment Management - Wealth Management and Advisory Services

The Company offers investment management and trust services to individuals, institutions, small businesses and charitable institutions. Each investment management product is governed by its own contract along with a separate identifiable fee schedule unique to that product. The Company also offers additional services, such as estate settlement, financial planning, tax services and other special services quoted at the client's request.

The asset management and/or custody fees are based upon a percentage of the monthly valuation of the principal assets in the customer's account, whereas fees for additional or special services are fixed in nature and are charged as services are rendered. As the fees are dependent on assets under management, which are susceptible to market factors outside of the Company's control, this variable consideration is constrained and therefore no revenue is estimated at contract initiation. As such, all revenue is recognized in correlation to the monthly management fee determinations or as transactional services are provided. Due to the fact that payments are primarily made subsequent to the valuation period, the Company records a receivable for revenue earned but not received. The following table provides the amount of investment management revenue earned but not received as of the periods indicated:

September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017
(Dollars in thousands)
Receivables, included in other assets $ 1,892
$ 1,934



	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(Dollars in thousands)
Receivables, included in other assets	$	2,124	$	1,893

Investment Management - Retail Investments and Insurance Revenue

The Company offers the sale of mutual fund shares, unit investment trust shares, general securities, fixed and variable annuities and life insurance products through registered representatives who are both employed by the Company and licensed and contracted with various ~~Broker General Agents~~broker general agents to offer these products to the Company’s customer base. As such, the Company performs these services as an agent and earns a fixed commission on the sales of these products and services. To a lesser degree, production bonus commissions can also be earned based upon the Company meeting certain volume thresholds.

In general, the Company recognizes commission revenue at the point of sale, and for certain insurance products, may also earn and recognize annual residual commissions commensurate with annual premiums being paid.

Merchant Processing Income

The Company refers customers to third party merchant processing partners in exchange for commission and fee income. The income earned is comprised of multiple components, including a fixed referral fee per each referred customer, a rebate amount determined primarily as a percentage of net revenue earned by the third party from services provided to each referred customer, and overall production bonus commissions if certain new account production thresholds are met. Merchant processing income is recognized in conjunction with either completing the referral to earn the fixed fee amount or as the merchant activity is processed to derive the Company's rebate and/or production bonus amounts.

Other Noninterest Income

The Company earns various types of other noninterest income that fall within the scope of the new revenue recognition rules, and have been aggregated into one general revenue stream in the table noted above. This amount includes, but is not limited to, the following types of revenue with customers:

Safe Deposit Rent

The Company rents out the use of safe deposit boxes to its customers, which can be accessed when the bank is open for business. The safe deposit box rental fee is paid upfront and is recognized as revenue ratably over the annual term of the contract.

1031 Exchange Fee Revenue

The Company provides like-kind exchange services pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Fee income is recognized in conjunction with completing the exchange transactions.

Foreign Currency

The Company earns fee income associated with various transactions related to foreign currency product offerings, including foreign currency bank notes and drafts and foreign currency wires. The majority of this income is derived from commissions earned related to customers executing the above mentioned foreign currency transactions through arrangements with third party correspondents.

NOTE 14 - LEASES

The Company adopted the new lease accounting standard ("the lease standard") under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 ("ASC 842") using the modified retrospective transition method with an effective date as of January 1, 2019. Therefore, periods prior to to that date were not restated, and are not presented below. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company not to reassess prior conclusions about lease identifications, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. The Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient pertaining to using hindsight knowledge as of the effective date when determining lease terms and impairment.

The Company leases office space, space for ATM locations and certain branch locations under noncancelable operating leases. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has entered into 92 noncancelable operating lease agreements. Several of the Company's leases for office space, space for ATM locations and certain branch locations contain renewal options to extend lease terms for a period of 1 to 10 years. The Company makes the decision on whether or not to renew an option to extend a lease by considering various factors. The Company will recognize an adjustment to its ROU asset and lease liability when lease agreements are amended and executed. The discount rate used in determining the present value of lease payments is based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for borrowings with terms similar to each lease at commencement date. The Company has no financing leases outstanding and no leases with residual value guarantees. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For real estate leases, non-lease components and other non-components, such as common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes, and insurance are not included in the measurement of the lease liability since they are generally able to be segregated.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 1 ATM location lease with a non-employee related party. The future lease payments under this lease do not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or result of operations. The Company does not have any material sub-lease agreements.

The Company's right-of-use asset related to operating leases was $51.8 million at September 30, 2019 and is recognized in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets.

The following table provides information related to the Company's lease cost.



	Three Months Ended	Nine Months Ended

As of September 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 6.88 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 2.91%.

The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows of base rent related to operating leases outstanding at September 30, 2019 with payments scheduled over the next five years and thereafter, including a reconciliation to the operating lease liability recognized in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet in other liabilities.

NOTE 1315 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of these commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment were funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.

The fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit are representative of the fair value of the Company's obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. In accordance with applicable accounting standards related to guarantees, fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit are deferred. The fees are then recognized in income proportionately over the life of the standby letter of credit agreement. The deferred standby letter of credit fees represent the fair value of the Company's potential obligations under the standby letter of credit guarantees.

The following table summarizes the above financial instruments at the dates indicated:


	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(Dollars in thousands)				(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	2,551,217	$	2,443,478	$	3,113,931	$	2,639,689
Standby letters of credit	16,704		15,534		22,943		16,708
Deferred standby letter of credit fees	128		102		197		122

~~Lease Commitments~~

The Company leases office space, space for ATM locations, and certain branch locations under noncancelable operating leases. Several of these leases have renewal options that typically range from 5 to 10 years.

Rent expense incurred under operating leases was approximately $2.3 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $7.1 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

There has been no significant change in the future minimum lease payments payable by the Company since December 31, 2017. See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 for information regarding leases and other commitments.

Other Contingencies

At September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Rockland Trust was involved in pending lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of business. Management has reviewed these pending lawsuits with legal counsel and has taken into consideration the view of counsel as to their outcome. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of pending lawsuits is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Bank is required to maintain certain reserve requirements of vault cash and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The reserve requirement was ~~$34.9~~$48.7 million and ~~$35.8~~$53.5 million at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

NOTE 1416 - LOW INCOME HOUSING PROJECT INVESTMENTS

Executive Level Overview

Management evaluates the Company's operating results and financial condition using measures that include net income, earnings per share, return on assets and equity, return on tangible common equity, net interest margin, tangible book value per share, asset quality indicators, and many others. These metrics are used by management to make key decisions regarding the Company's balance sheet, liquidity, interest rate sensitivity, and capital resources and assist with identifying opportunities for improving the Company's financial position or operating results. The Company is focused on organic growth, but will also consider acquisition opportunities that can provide a satisfactory financial ~~return. During~~return, including the ~~second quarter~~recent acquisition of ~~2018, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with~~ MNB Bancorp ("MNB")~~, which is expected to close~~ in the fourth quarter of ~~2018. During the third quarter of~~ 2018 ~~the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with~~and Blue Hills Bancorp ("BHB")~~, which is expected to close~~ in the ~~first half~~second quarter of 2019.

Interest-Earning Assets

Management’s ~~balance sheet~~asset strategy emphasizes loan growth, primarily in the commercial and home equity ~~lending.~~portfolios. The results depicted in the following table reflect ~~an overall increase in total loans~~the trend of the Company's interest-earning assets over the past five ~~quarters due to the results of that strategy, as well as the impact from acquisitions.~~quarters. For the third quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, the ~~Company experienced~~decrease in interest-earning assets was due to increased payoff activity within the loan ~~growth across all major categories.~~portfolio.

Management strives to be disciplined about loan pricing and considers interest rate sensitivity when generating loan assets. ~~The Company has gradually and intentionally shifted its balance sheet composition so that its interest-rate risk position is fundamentally asset-sensitive. Management~~In addition, management takes a disciplined approach to credit underwriting, seeking to avoid undue credit risk and loan losses.

Funding and Net Interest Margin

The Company's overall sources of funding reflect strong business and retail deposit growth ~~supporting management's~~with a management emphasis onover core deposit growth to fund ~~loans,~~loans. The following chart shows the sources of funding and the percentage of core deposits to total deposits for the trailing five quarters, with the second and third quarters of 2019 reflecting the increased percentage of time deposits as ~~depicted by~~a result of the ~~following chart:~~BHB acquisition:

As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, core deposits comprised ~~90.25%~~82.49% of total deposits. The ~~continued emphasis on core deposits has resulted in a~~ cost of deposits ~~of 0.30%~~ for the ~~2018~~ third quarter ~~which increased by three~~was 0.50%, reflecting an increase of 1 basis ~~points~~point when compared to the second quarter of ~~2018.~~

which was driven primarily by lower asset yields linked to the ~~Company's asset sensitive position, as shown by the following chart:~~July and September Federal Reserve Rate cuts.

Noninterest Income

Management continues to focus on noninterest income, ~~growth,~~ which is primarily comprised of deposit account fees, interchange and ATM fees, investment management fees and mortgage banking income. The following chart shows the components of noninterest income over the past five quarters:

Expense Control

Management seeks to take a balanced approach to noninterest expense control by monitoring ~~the management of~~ ongoing operating expenses while making needed capital expenditures and prudently investing in growth initiatives. The Company’s primary expenses arise from Rockland Trust’s employee salaries and benefits, as well as expenses associated with buildings and equipment. The following chart depicts the Company's efficiency ratio on a GAAP basis (calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of noninterest income and net interest income), as well as the Company's efficiency ratio on a non-GAAP operating basis, if applicable (calculated by dividing noninterest expense, excluding certain noncore items, by the sum of noninterest income, excluding certain noncore items, and net interest income), over the past five quarters:

*See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation to GAAP financial measures.

Tax Effectiveness

The Company participates in federal and state tax credit programs designed to promote economic development, affordable housing, and job creation. The Company continues to participate in the federal New Markets Tax Credit program and has also made low-income housing tax credit investments. The Company has also established security corporation subsidiaries and, through its subsidiaries, purchased tax-exempt bonds. Federal and state tax credit program participation and other tax strategies help the Company operate in a more tax effective manner and sometimes also create a competitive advantage for Rockland Trust and its community development subsidiaries. During the third quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was ~~23.19%.~~24.73%, compared to 24.63% at June 30, 2019.

Capital

The Company's approach with respect to revenue, expense, and tax effectiveness is designed to promote long-term earnings growth. Strong earnings retention has contributed to capital ~~growth. Book value~~growth, both on an absolute level and per share increased 2.1% in the third quarter of 2018 and 6.8% over the past four quarters. In addition, tangible book value per share rose 2.9% in the third quarter of 2018 and was higher by 9.7% over the past four quarters (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures). Stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets was 11.92% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 11.66% in the second quarter of 2018. The Company's tangible common equity ratio (or tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets) rose to 9.33% for the third quarter of 2018, as compared to 9.06% in the second quarter of 2018. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.basis. The following chart shows the Company's book value and tangible book value per share over the past five ~~quarters:~~quarters (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures):

*See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation to GAAP financial measures.

The Company's growth in capital enables the payment of cash dividends. The Company declared quarterly cash dividends of ~~$0.38~~$0.44 per share for the first three quarters of ~~2018,~~2019, representing an increase of ~~18.8%~~15.8% from the ~~2017~~2018 quarterly dividend rate of ~~$0.32~~$0.38 per share.

Third Quarter ~~2018~~2019 Results

Net income for the third quarter of ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$33.0~~$51.8 million, or ~~$1.20~~$1.51 on a diluted earnings per share basis, ~~an increase of 38.4%~~ and ~~37.9%~~increased 57.0% and 25.8%, respectively, as compared to ~~$23.9~~$33.0 million, or ~~$0.87~~$1.20 on a diluted earnings per share basis, for the prior year third quarter. The third quarter of ~~2018~~2019 included gain on the sale of loans and merger and acquisition costs which the Company deems to be noncore. Excluding ~~these~~the gain on the sale of loans and merger and acquisition expenses, third quarter ~~2018~~2019 operating net income was ~~$34.9~~$51.7 million compared to operating net income from the third quarter of ~~2017~~2018 of ~~$23.9~~$34.9 million, an increase of ~~46.5%~~47.9%. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.

~~2018~~2019 Outlook

During the Company’s third quarter ~~2018~~2019 earnings call, the ~~Company~~Company's Chief Financial Officer stated that ithe anticipates the following for the ~~full year ending December 31, 2018:~~fourth quarter of 2019:

~~Loan~~Assuming minimal changes in the competitive and ~~deposit~~economic landscape, net loan growth is expected to remain relatively flat for the ~~full year 2018~~remainder of the year;

Assuming no ~~further federal funds~~Federal Reserve rate ~~increases,~~changes in the ~~full year 2018~~fourth quarter and a normalized level of loan accretion, the net interest margin is expected to ~~expand by 30 to 32~~be in the low 3.90%'s range for the fourth quarter. In addition, based upon current assessments, management anticipates that any future 25 basis ~~points versus~~point Federal Reserve rate cut may further reduce the ~~full year 2017;~~

~~Net~~net interest margin ~~will increase 4 to~~prospectively by approximately 6 basis ~~points~~points;

~~Noninterest~~Excluding merger related expenses incurred in the third quarter, noninterest expense is expected to ~~up slightly in the fourth~~be flat with third quarter ~~even when including the MNB acquisition~~levels;

Provision for loan loss levels should continue to reflect general allocations needed for organic loan growth, with ~~the operating efficiency ratio improving for the remainder of the year; and~~no immediate significant credit concerns noted;

~~The effective~~Effective tax rate ~~for the remainder~~ of ~~the year (excluding discrete items) is expected to be~~ approximately ~~23.0%~~25%.

Non-GAAP Measures

When management assesses the Company’s financial performance for purposes of making day-to-day and strategic decisions, it does so based upon the performance of its core banking business, which is primarily derived from the combination of net interest income and noninterest or fee income, reduced by operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, and the impact of income taxes and other noncore items shown in the ~~table~~tables that ~~follows.~~follow. There are items that impact the Company's results that management believes are unrelated to its core banking business such as ~~gains or losses on the sales of securities,~~ merger and acquisition expenses and other ~~items, such as one-time adjustments as a result of changes in laws and regulations.~~items. Management, therefore, computes certain non-GAAP measures including net operating earnings and operating EPS, noninterest income on an operating basis and efficiency ratio on an operating basis, which exclude items management considers to be noncore. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility into the Company’s core banking business and underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items.

Management also supplements its evaluation of financial performance with ~~an analysis~~analyses of tangible book value per share (which is computed by dividing stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, or ~~tangible~~"tangible common ~~equity,~~equity", by common shares outstanding) and ~~with~~ the ~~Company's~~ tangible common equity ratio (which is computed by dividing tangible common equity by ~~tangible assets) which are non-GAAP measures.~~"tangible assets", defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangibles). The Company has included information on ~~these~~ tangible ~~ratios~~book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by ~~management to assess performance~~management. As a result of merger and ~~identify trends. The~~acquisition activity, the Company has recognized goodwill and other intangible assets in conjunction with ~~merger and acquisition activities.~~business combination accounting principles. Excluding the impact of goodwill and other intangibles in measuring asset and capital values for the ratios provided, along with other bank standard capital ratios, ~~facilitates comparison of~~provides a framework to compare the capital adequacy of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry.

These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results and other financial ~~results~~measures determined in accordance with GAAP. An item which management deems to be noncore and excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular ~~period.~~quarter or year. The Company’s non-GAAP performance measures, including operating earnings, operating EPS, operating return on average assets, operating return on average equity, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio, are not necessarily comparable to ~~similarly named~~ non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that the most critical accounting policies are those which the Company’s financial condition depends upon, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.

There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies during the first nine months of ~~2018.~~2019. Please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 for a complete listing of critical accounting policies.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Securities Portfolio The Company’s securities portfolio consists of trading securities, equity securities, securities available for sale, and securities which management intends to hold until maturity. Securities increased by ~~$65.1~~$117.0 million, or ~~6.9%~~10.9%, at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 as compared to December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, reflecting ~~new~~the $196.9 million in securities included in the BHB acquisition as well as additional purchases of ~~$182.4~~$73.5 million made during the nine month ~~period, partially~~period. These increases were offset by paydowns on existing securities and the sale of approximately $47.3 million of acquired BHB mortgage backed securities. The ratio of securities to total assets was ~~12.08%~~10.33% and ~~11.71%~~12.15% at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

The Company monitors investment securities for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). For debt securities, the primary consideration in determining whether impairment is OTTI is whether or not the Bank expects to collect all contractual cash flows. Further details regarding the Company's analysis of potential OTTI can be found in Note 34 “Securities” within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 hereof.

Residential Mortgage Loan Sales The Company’s primary loan sale activity arises from the sale of government sponsored enterprise eligible residential mortgage loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ the ~~Bank~~Company originated residential loans with the intention of selling them in the secondary market or to hold in the Company's residential portfolio. When a loan is sold, the Company enters into agreements that contain representations and warranties about the characteristics of the loans sold and their origination. The Company may be required to either repurchase mortgage loans or to indemnify the purchaser from losses if representations and warranties are breached. The Company incurred no losses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and September 30, ~~2017~~2018 related to ~~these activities.~~mortgage repurchases.

The following table shows the total residential loans that were closed and whether the amounts were held in the portfolio or sold/held for sale in the secondary market during the periods indicated:

When a loan is sold the ~~Bank sells~~Company may decide to also sell the servicing of sold loans for a servicing release premium, simultaneous with the sale of the ~~loan. In~~loan, or the ~~past, the Bank~~Company may ~~have opted~~opt to sell ~~loans~~the loan and retain the servicing. In the event of a sale with servicing rights retained, a mortgage servicing asset is established, which represents the then current estimated fair value based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing rights are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, and are assessed for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date. Impairment is determined by stratifying the rights based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment

no longer exists, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. The principal balance of loans serviced by the Bank on behalf of investors was ~~$244.9~~$649.4 million, ~~$277.8~~$240.2 million and ~~$292.2~~$244.9 million at September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, and September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

Forward sale ~~contracts~~loan commitments of mortgage loans, considered derivative instruments for accounting purposes, may be utilized by the Company in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain ~~one-to-four~~1-4 family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans, resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, ~~forward delivery sales commitments are executed, under which~~ the Company ~~agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to investors which economically hedges this market risk.~~utilizes both "mandatory delivery" and "best efforts" forward loan sale commitments. See Note 8,9, “Derivative and Hedging Activities” within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 hereof for more information on mortgage activity and mortgage related derivatives.

Loan Portfolio The Company’s loan portfolio increased by ~~$171.8 million~~$2.0 billion during the first nine months of ~~2018,~~2019. The overall increase was primarily ~~driven by~~the result of the BHB loans acquired. Exclusive of the acquired loans, strong organic growth in the commercial construction portfolio of 21.0% and the commercial and industrial portfolio ~~which increased~~of 5.3% was offset by ~~$115.3 million and by~~decreases in all other commercial loan categories, as payoffs outpaced new originations during the ~~residential real estate portfolio which increased by $47.5 million.~~first nine months of 2019.

(1)	During the third quarter of 2019, the Company sold $67.2 million of residential mortgage loans, primarily comprised of acquired BHB loans. The table above adjusts for the amounts sold to arrive at the organic growth/(decline) for the period.

The Company's commercial loan portfolio is comprised primarily of commercial and industrial loans as well as commercial real estate loans. Management considers the Company’s commercial and industrial portfolio to be well-diversified with loans to various types of industries. The following pie chart shows the diversification of the commercial and industrial portfolio as of September 30, ~~2018:~~2019:


	(Dollars in thousands)			(Dollars in thousands)
Average loan size	$	253		$	323
Largest individual commercial and industrial loan outstanding	$	25,448		$	26,615
Commercial and industrial nonperforming loans/commercial and industrial loans	2.86		%	1.67		%

The Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio, inclusive of commercial construction, is the Company’s largest loan type concentration. The Company believes that this portfolio is also well-diversified with loans secured by a variety of property types, such as owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied commercial, retail, office, industrial, warehouse, ~~industrial development bonds,~~ and other special purpose properties, such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, restaurants, churches, recreational facilities, marinas, and golf courses. Commercial real estate also includes loans secured by certain residential-related property types including multi-family apartment buildings, residential development tracts and condominiums. The following pie chart shows the diversification of the commercial real estate loan portfolio as of September 30, ~~2018:~~2019:


	(Dollars in thousands)			(Dollars in thousands)
Average loan size	$	876		$	1,028

Commercial real estate nonperforming loans/commercial real estate loans	0.06		%	0.04		%
Owner occupied commercial real estate loans/commercial real estate loans	16.0		%	14.6		%

~~In addition to the commercial portfolios, the Company also originates~~

The Company's consumer portfolio consists of both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential real estate loans as well as residential construction lending related to single-home residential development within the Company's market area. The Company also provides home equity loans and lines that may be made as a fixed rate term loan or under a variable rate revolving line of credit secured by a first or junior mortgage on the borrower's residence or second home. Additionally, the Company makes loans for a wide variety of other personal needs. Consumer loans primarily consist of installment loans and overdraft protections. The residential, home equity and other consumer portfolios totaled ~~$1.9~~$2.8 billion at September 30, ~~2018.~~2019, as noted below:

Asset Quality The Company continually monitors the asset quality of the loan portfolio using all available information. Based on this assessment, loans demonstrating certain payment issues or other weaknesses may be categorized as delinquent, impaired, nonperforming and/or put on nonaccrual status. Additionally, in the course of resolving such loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans to match the borrower’s ability to repay the loan based on their current financial condition. If a restructured loan meets certain criteria, it may be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR").

Delinquency The Company’s philosophy toward managing its loan portfolios is predicated upon careful monitoring, which stresses early detection and response to delinquent and default situations. The Company seeks to make arrangements to resolve any delinquent or default situation over the shortest possible time frame. Generally, the Company requires that a delinquency notice be mailed to a borrower upon expiration of a grace period (typically no longer than 15 days beyond the due date). Reminder notices may be sent and telephone calls may be made prior to the expiration of the grace period. If the delinquent status is not resolved within a reasonable time frame following the mailing of a delinquency notice, the Bank’s personnel charged with managing its loan portfolios contacts the borrower to ascertain the reasons for delinquency and the prospects for payment. Any subsequent actions taken to resolve the delinquency will depend upon the nature of the loan and the length of time that the loan has been delinquent. The borrower’s needs are considered as much as reasonably possible without jeopardizing the Bank’s position. A late charge is usually assessed on loans upon expiration of the grace period.

Nonaccrual Loans As a general rule, loans more than 90 days past due with respect to principal or interest are classified as nonaccrual loans. However, certain loans that are more than 90 days past due may be kept on an accruing status if the loans are well secured and/or in the process of collection. The Company may also put a junior lien mortgage on nonaccrual status as a

result of delinquency with respect to the first position, which is held by another financial institution, while the junior lien is currently performing. Income accruals are suspended on all nonaccrual loans and all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against current income. A loan remains on nonaccrual status until it becomes current with respect to principal and interest (and in certain instances remains current for up to six months), the loan is liquidated, or when the loan is determined to be uncollectible and is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

Troubled Debt Restructurings In the course of resolving problem loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The Company attempts to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to avoid or cure a default. Loans that are modified are reviewed by the Company to identify if a TDR has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status and the restructuring of the loan may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, consumer loans where the borrower's obligations have been effectively discharged through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt to the Bank, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. If such efforts by the Bank do not result in satisfactory performance, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Bank may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work out a satisfactory payment plan.

It is the Company’s policy to have any restructured loans which are on nonaccrual status prior to being modified remain on nonaccrual status for six months, subsequent to being modified, before management considers ~~its~~their return to accrual status. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. Loans that are considered TDRs are classified as performing, unless they are on nonaccrual status or greater than 90 days delinquent. Loans classified as TDRs remain classified as such for the life of the loan, except in limited circumstances, when it may be determined that the borrower is performing under modified terms and the restructuring agreement specified an interest rate greater than or equal to an acceptable market rate for a comparable new loan at the time of the restructuring.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans are acquired loans which had evidence of deterioration in credit quality at the purchase date and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected. PCI loans are recorded at fair value without any carryover of the allowance for loan losses. The excess cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount of the loans, referred to as the "accretable yield," is accreted into interest income over the life of the loans using the effective yield method. Accordingly, PCI loans are not subject to classification as nonaccrual in the same manner as originated loans, rather they are generally considered to be accruing loans because their interest income recognized relates to the accretable yield and not to contractual interest payments. See Note 4,5, "Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses, and Credit Quality" within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 hereof for more information.

Nonperforming Assets Nonperforming assets are typically comprised of ~~nonaccrual~~nonperforming loans ~~loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing interest,~~ and other real estate owned ~~("OREO"~~(“OREO”). Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest.

OREO consists of real estate properties, which have primarily served as collateral to secure loans, that are controlled or owned by the Bank. These properties are recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date control is established, resulting in a new cost basis. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the fair value (net of estimated costs to sell) of the foreclosed asset is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in the fair value of the foreclosed asset below the new cost basis are recorded through the use of a valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in the fair value are recorded as reductions in the valuation allowance, but not below zero. All costs incurred thereafter in maintaining the property are generally charged to noninterest expense. In the event the real estate is utilized as a rental property, net rental income and expenses are recorded as incurred within noninterest expense.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 2018 nonaccrual loans associated with a large commercial loan customer that had previously declared bankruptcy were modified when a court confirmed the customer's bankruptcy reorganization plan. That revision to loan terms required the Company to deem loans associated with the customer as troubled debt restructured loans.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment

shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans include all commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial construction and small business loans that are on nonaccrual status, TDRs, and other loans that have been categorized as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by comparing the loan’s value to either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans deemed collateral dependent, where impairment is measured using the fair value of the collateral, the Bank will either order a new appraisal or use another available source of collateral assessment such as a broker’s opinion of value to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the collateral.

Total impaired loans at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018 were ~~$64.0~~$56.9 million and ~~$72.8~~$59.1 million, respectively. For additional information regarding the Company’s asset quality, including delinquent loans, nonaccruals, TDRs, and impaired loans, see Note 4,5, “Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses, and Credit Quality” within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 hereof.

Potential problem loans are any loans which are not included in nonaccrual or nonperforming loans, where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes management to have concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. At September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, there were 4970 relationships, with an aggregate balance of ~~$44.7~~$82.2 million, deemed to be potential problem loans. These potential problem loans continued to perform with respect to payments. Management actively monitors these loans and strives to minimize any possible adverse impact to the Company.

Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management considers appropriate to provide for probable loan losses based upon evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by providing for loan losses through a charge to expense and by credits for recoveries of loans previously charged-off and is reduced by loans being charged-off.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on increases in nonperforming loans, changes in economic conditions, or for other reasons. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the Bank's examination process, periodically assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to ~~access~~assess whether the allowance was determined in accordance with GAAP and applicable guidance.

The allowance for loan losses is allocated to loan types using both a formula-based approach applied to groups of loans and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment. The formula-based approach emphasizes loss factors derived from actual historical portfolio loss rates, which are combined with an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine the allowance amounts allocated to the various loan categories. Allowance amounts are determined based on an estimate of the historical average annual percentage rate of loan loss for each loan category, an estimate of the incurred loss emergence and confirmation period for each loan category, and certain qualitative risk factors considered in the computation of the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the Company reviews numerous credit quality indicators when assessing the risk in its loan portfolio. For the commercial portfolio, the Company utilizes a 10-point commercial risk-rating system, which assigns a risk-grade to each borrower based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a commercial loan transaction. Factors considered include industry and market conditions, position within the industry, earnings trends, operating cash flow, asset/liability values, debt capacity, guarantor strength, management and controls, financial reporting, collateral and other considerations.

As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the allowance for loan losses totaled ~~$63.2~~$66.9 million, or ~~0.97%~~0.75% of total loans, as compared to ~~$60.6~~$64.3 million, or ~~0.95%~~0.93% of total loans, at December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The decrease in this percentage is attributable to the treatment of loans acquired in connection with the BHB acquisition. These acquired loans are recorded at fair value, which includes consideration for estimated credit losses, and without carryover of the respective portfolio's historical allowance for loan losses.

The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses and other selected statistics for the periods presented:

For purposes of the allowance for loan losses, management segregates the loan portfolio into the portfolio segments detailed in the table below. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is made to each loan category using the analytical techniques and estimation methods described herein. While these amounts represent management’s best estimate of the distribution of probable losses at the evaluation dates, they are not necessarily indicative of either the categories in which actual losses may occur or the extent of such actual losses that may be recognized within each category. Each of these loan categories ~~possess~~possesses unique risk

characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance for each segment. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the loan portfolio.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated:

To determine if a loan should be charged-off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed. Possible sources of repayment include the potential for future cash flows, the value of the Bank’s collateral, and the strength of co-makers or guarantors. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged-off against the allowance for loan losses and any recoveries of such previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance.

Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, the Company charges off the amount of any confirmed loan loss in the period when the loans, or portions of loans, are deemed uncollectible. For troubled, collateral-dependent loans, loss-confirming events may include an appraisal or other valuation that reflects a shortfall between the value of the collateral and the carrying value of the loan or receivable, or a deficiency balance following the sale of the collateral.

For additional information regarding the Company’s allowance for loan losses, see Note 4,5, “Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses, and Credit Quality” within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 hereof.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock The Bank held an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Boston stock of ~~$13.1~~$15.0 million and ~~$11.6~~$15.7 million at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The FHLB is a cooperative that provides services to its member banking institutions. The primary reason for the FHLB of Boston membership is to gain access to a reliable source of wholesale funding ~~particularly term funding,~~ as a tool to manage liquidity and interest rate risk. The purchase of stock in the FHLB is a requirement for a member to gain access to funding. The Company purchases ~~and/~~or is subject to redemption of FHLB stock proportional to the volume of funding received and views the holdings as a necessary long-term investment for the ~~purposes~~purpose of balance sheet liquidity and not for investment return.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets were ~~$239.2~~$535.9 million and ~~$241.1~~$271.4 million as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The ~~decrease in 2018~~increase was due to the BHB acquisition, partially offset by amortization of definite-lived intangibles.

The Company typically performs its annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of the year, unless certain indicators suggest earlier testing to be warranted. Accordingly, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of ~~2018~~2019 and determined that the Company's goodwill was not impaired. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. There were no events or changes that indicated impairment of other intangible assets.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies The Bank holds life insurance policies for the purpose of offsetting its future obligations to its employees under its retirement and benefits plans. The cash surrender value of life insurance policies was ~~$153.2~~$195.9 million and ~~$151.5~~$160.5 million at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017, respectively.~~2018, respectively, with $34.5 million of the increase attributable to policies obtained in the BHB acquisition. The Company recorded tax exempt income from life insurance policies of ~~$984,000~~$1.3 million and ~~$1.0 million~~$984,000 for the three months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, and ~~$2.9~~$3.6 million and ~~$3.0~~$2.9 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. In addition,~~the Company received proceeds on life insurance policies in the amount of $2.9 million~~ during the third quarter of ~~2018, resulting in a gain~~2019 the Company recorded gains on life insurance benefits of ~~$1.5 million.~~$434,000.

Deposits As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, total deposits were ~~$7.0~~$9.3 billion, representing a ~~$247.0 million,~~$1.9 billion, or ~~3.7%~~25.6%, increase from December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The ~~Company experienced growth in all categories with a continued emphasis on core deposits, which represent 90.25% of total deposits as of September 30, 2018.~~increase is primarily attributable to the BHB acquisition. The total cost of deposits was ~~0.30%~~0.50% and ~~0.20%~~0.30% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, and ~~0.27%~~0.46% and ~~0.19%~~0.27%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. Core deposits represented 82.49% of total deposits as of September 30, 2019.

The Company also participates in the Promontory Interfinancial Network, allowing the Bank to provide easy access to multi-million dollar Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") deposit insurance protection on certificate of deposit and money market investments for consumers, businesses and public entities. This channel allows the Company to seek additional funding in potentially large quantities by attracting deposits from outside the Bank’s core market and amounted to ~~$51.7~~$211.0 million and ~~$48.5~~$180.5 million at September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. ~~During~~In addition, the ~~second quarter~~Company may occasionally raise funds through the use of brokered deposits outside of the Promontory Interfinancial Network, which amounted to $303.4 million and $6.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act was promulgated and determined that reciprocal deposits, such as those acquired through the Promontory Interfinancial Network, were no longer to be treated as brokered deposits. Accordingly, these amounts are no longer included in the total brokered amounts reported by the Company.

~~In addition,~~

Excluding the ~~Company may occasionally raise funds through the use of brokered deposits outside~~effects of the ~~Promontory Interfinancial Network, which amounted~~BHB acquisition, the Company's deposits have declined modestly on an organic basis as compared to ~~$6.0 million at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.~~the prior year end. The table below summarizes these organic declines by category for the period indicated:

Borrowings The Company’s borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide the Bank with one of its primary sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides the Bank with a contingent source of liquidity.

Borrowings increased by $34.1 million, or 13.2%, at September 30, 2019, as compared to December 31, 2018.

Capital Resources On September ~~20, 2018,~~19, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of ~~$0.38~~$0.44 per share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on ~~October 1, 2018.~~September 30, 2019. This dividend was paid on October ~~5, 2018.~~11, 2019.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and ~~classification~~classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total, Tier 1 Capital and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (as defined for regulatory purposes) to risk weighted assets (as defined for regulatory purposes) and Tier 1 Capital to average assets (as defined for regulatory purposes). At September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company and the Bank exceeded the minimum requirements for all applicable ratios that were in effect during the respective periods. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table, along with the applicable minimum requirements for each period indicated:

In addition to the minimum risk-based capital requirements outlined in the table above, the Company is required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer, in the form of common equity, in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses. The required amount of the capital conservation buffer is ~~being phased-in, beginning at 0.625% on January 1, 2016 and ultimately increasing to~~ 2.5% ~~on January 1, 2019.~~. At September 30, ~~2018~~2019, the Company's capital levels exceeded the ~~fully-phased in buffer of 2.5%.~~buffer.

Dividend Restrictions In the ordinary course of business, the Company is dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and to provide for other cash requirements. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under the foregoing dividend restrictions and while maintaining its "well capitalized" status, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company totaled ~~$15.5~~$32.6 million and ~~$11.8~~$15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively and totaled ~~$44.5~~$90.3 million and ~~$35.2~~$44.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. The nine months 2019 dividends included $16.5 million that was used for funding the April 1, 2019 BHB acquisition.

Trust Preferred Securities In accordance with the applicable accounting standard related to variable interest entities, the common stock of trusts which have issued trust preferred securities has not been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. At ~~both~~ September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there was $61.0 million and ~~2017, $71.0~~$74.0 million, respectively, in trust preferred securities which have been included in the Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory reporting purposes pursuant to the Federal Reserve's capital adequacy guidelines.

~~Community Reinvestment Act~~ Common Stock Repurchase Program~~In September 2017,~~ On October 17, 2019, the ~~FDIC~~Company put into place a share repurchase program with the ability to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of the Company's common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, including through the ~~Massachusetts Division~~use of ~~Banks assigned~~trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the ~~Bank a CRA rating~~Exchange Act. The size and timing of ~~Satisfactory.~~these repurchases will depend on pricing, market and economic condition, legal and contractual requirements and other factors. The repurchase program will expire on October 31, 2020 and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Management will plan to utilize the repurchase program as another tool to effectively manage capital and liquidity needs.

Investment Management As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the Rockland Trust Investment Management Group had assets under administration of ~~$3.6~~$4.5 billion, representing ~~5,710~~6,024 trust, fiduciary, and agency accounts.

Net Interest Income The amount of net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and by the volume, mix, and interest rate sensitivity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

On a fully tax equivalent basis ("FTE"), net interest income for the third quarter of ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$76.4~~$104.9 million, representing an increase of ~~$9.0~~$28.4 million, or ~~13.3%~~37.2%, when compared to the third quarter of ~~2017. Net~~2018. The increase in net interest income ~~benefited~~ from the ~~Company's sustained asset sensitive position.~~year ago period is primarily due to increased interest earning assets, including those obtained in the BHB and MNB acquisitions.

The following tables present the Company’s average balances, net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin for the three and nine months ending September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. Nontaxable income from loans and securities is presented on a FTE basis by adjusting tax-exempt income upward by an amount equivalent to the prevailing income taxes that would have been paid if the income had been fully taxable.

Provision For Loan Losses The provision for loan losses represents the charge to expense that is required to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. ~~The~~There was no provision for loan losses ~~was $1.1 million~~during the three months ended

September 30, 2019 and ~~$3.6~~$2.0 million for the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2018, respectively,~~2019, as compared to ~~zero~~$1.1 million and ~~$1.7~~$3.6 million for the comparable year-ago periods. The Company’s allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of total loans, was 0.75% at September 30, 2019, 0.93% at December 31, 2018, and 0.97% at September 30, ~~2018,~~2018. The decrease in this percentage is attributable to the treatment of loans acquired in connection with the BHB acquisition. These acquired loans are recorded at fair value, which include consideration for estimated credit losses, and ~~0.95% at both December 31, 2017~~without carryover of the respective portfolio's historical allowance for loan losses. The Company recorded net recoveries of $982,000 and $649,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017. The Company recorded~~2019, as compared to net charge-offs of $397,000 and $983,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, ~~as compared to net recoveries of $231,000 and net charge-offs of $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,~~ respectively.

Management’s periodic evaluation of the appropriate allowance for loan losses considers past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks within the loan portfolio, adverse situations which may affect the borrowers’ ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, if any, and current economic conditions.

Regarding the estimated value of the underlying collateral, substantial portions of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in property values within those states.

~~In general,~~Additionally, the national and local economies ~~expanded at a moderate pace through much of the third quarter of 2018. A tight~~remained generally strong and expansion continued despite lingering uncertainty regarding trade policy and tariffs. The labor market persists in the New England market with higher-skilled workers in short supply; wage increases appear mixed in the region. Retailers reported generally favorable sales trends year-over-year, however some trepidation over looming tariffs and their effects on prices and sales remains in the marketplace. Median sales prices on residential real estate have continued to increase through the busy spring and summer seasons, owing to strong demand and a tight supply of housing. Commercial real estate markets remained relatively strong, although rising construction costs due to labor shortages and material price increases have begun to place some pressure on certain projects. Leasing activity for office space remained strong in the New England region remains very tight which has led to difficulty for some employers seeking to fill vacancies. Wage growth remains somewhat restrained, however increases have begun to emerge in a number of industries. Retail sales versus the prior year are up modestly with ~~rents remaining stable or increasing slightly.~~many retailers noting that they have not experienced significant pricing pressure despite the ongoing tariff negotiations with China. The spring and summer tourism market for the Boston area appears to have been strong versus the prior year with hotels reporting strong occupancy and room rate growth. Residential real estate activity appears to be moderating somewhat versus the prior year even as prices continue to rise as inventory falls. Commercial construction activity in the Boston market continues to be strong as projects related to office space have increased relative to apartment projects. Management believes that the overall economic outlook for the near term remains generally positive for the New England region.

The primary reasons for the variances in the noninterest expense ~~category~~categories shown in the preceding ~~tables~~table include:

The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects overall increases in the employee base, including the BHB and MNB acquisitions, along with increases in expenses associated with ~~merit and incentive programs,~~incentives, payroll taxes, medical insurance, commissions and ~~post-retirement~~retirement benefit costs.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased mainly due to the acquired BHB branch network.

Data processing increases reflect overall increased levels of transactional activity in conjunction with the Company's growth.

The FDIC assessment expense ~~increases were~~decrease in 2019 was due to the Company benefiting from the small bank assessment credits allocated in conjunction with the Deposit Insurance Fund's attainment of a 1.38 percent reserve ratio, which resulted in no expense for the third quarter of 2019.

The core deposit amortization increase is due to the BHB acquisition, which resulted in a $19.9 million core deposit intangible.

The increase in merger and acquisition expenses in 2019 is primarily attributable to ~~rental expense depreciation on equipment~~the BHB acquisition, with a small remainder associated with the ~~Company's equipment leasing initiative, as well as increases in snow removal~~MNB acquisition. The majority of these costs include severance, contract termination and integration costs. The majority of the merger and acquisition costs for the ~~nine month periods.~~

Income Taxes The tax effect of all income and expense transactions is recognized by the Company in each year’s consolidated statements of income, regardless of the year in which the transactions are reported for income tax purposes. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s tax provision and applicable tax rates for the periods indicated:

The Company's blended statutory and effective tax rates in ~~2018~~2019 are ~~lower~~comparable to the year ago periods. The effective tax rate for the current quarter reflects fewer tax credits associated with the New Market Tax Credit program as compared to the year ago period ~~due primarily to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"), which decreased the maximum Federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. Additionally, the~~as well as higher pre-tax income amounts. The effective tax rates in the table above are lower than the blended statutory tax rates due to certain tax preference assets such as life insurance policies and tax exempt bonds, as well as federal tax credits recognized primarily in connection with the New Markets Tax Credit program and investments in low income housing project investments. ~~Lastly, the effective tax rate includes the impact of excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation transactions and other discrete items which can fluctuate year over year.~~

The Company's subsidiaries have received several awards of tax credit allocation authority under the federal New Markets Tax Credit program which enable the Company to recognize federal tax credits over a seven year period totaling 39.0% of the total award. The Company recognizes federal tax credits as capital investments that are made into its subsidiaries to fund below market interest rate loans to qualifying businesses in low income communities.

Strategic and Reputation Risk Strategic and reputation risk ~~represents~~is the risk of loss due to impairment of reputation, failure to fully develop and execute business plans, and failure to assess current and new opportunities and threats in business, markets, and products. Management seeks to mitigate strategic and reputational risk through annual strategic planning, frequent executive review of strategic ~~reviews,~~plan progress, ongoing competitive and technological observation, assessment processes of new product, new ~~branch,~~branches, and new business initiatives, adherence to ethical standards, a philosophy of customer advocacy, a structured process of customer complaint resolution, and ongoing reputational monitoring, crisis management planning, and management tools.

Interest Rate RiskInterest rate risk is the sensitivity of income due to changes in interest rates. ~~Changes in interest rates,~~Interest rate changes, as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of assets and liabilities, affect net interest income, the Company’s primary source of revenue. Interest

rate risk arises directly from the Company’s core banking activities. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in the level of interest rates can also affect the amount of loans originated, the timing of cash flows on loans and securities, and the fair value of securities and derivatives, ~~as well as~~and have other effects.

~~The primary goal of~~Management maintains an Asset Liability Committee to manage interest rate risk, ~~management is~~which strives to control ~~this~~interest rate risk within limits approved by the Board of ~~Directors. These limits~~Directors that reflect the Company’s tolerance for interest rate risk over ~~both~~ short-term and long-term horizons. The Company attempts to manage interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying, and, where appropriate, hedging ~~its~~ exposure. If assets and liabilities do not re-price simultaneously and in equal volume, the potential for interest rate exposure exists. It is the Company's objective to maintain stability in the growth of net interest income through the maintenance of an appropriate mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and, when necessary, within limits ~~management~~Management determines to be prudent, through the use of off-balance sheet hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, floors, and caps.

The Company quantifies its interest rate exposures using net interest income simulation models, as well as simpler gap analysis, and an Economic Value of Equity analysis. Key assumptions in these simulation analyses relate to behavior of interest rates and behavior of the Company’s deposit and loan customers. The most material assumptions relate to the prepayment of mortgage assets (including mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities) and the life and sensitivity of ~~nonmaturity~~non-maturity deposits (e.g. ~~DDA, NOW,~~, demand deposit, negotiable order of withdrawal, savings, and money ~~market)~~market accounts). In the case of prepayment of mortgage assets, assumptions are derived from published dealer median prepayment estimates for comparable mortgage loans. The risk of prepayment tends to increase when interest rates fall. Since future prepayment behavior of loan customers is uncertain, interest rate sensitivity of loans cannot be determined exactly and actual behavior may differ from assumptions.

Based upon the net interest income simulation models, the ~~company~~Company currently forecasts that the Bank’s assets re-price faster than the liabilities. As a result, the net interest income of the Bank will benefit as market rates ~~increase. Conversely,~~increase, and contract if market rates ~~were to fall, the net interest margin of the Bank is expected to contract.~~decrease. The Company runs several scenarios to quantify and effectively assist in managing this position. These scenarios include instantaneous parallel shifts in market rates as well as gradual (12-24 months) shifts in market ~~rates.~~rates, and may also include other alternative scenarios as management deems necessary, given the interest rate environment.

The results of all scenarios and the impact to net interest income are outlined in the table below:

~~As previously noted, the~~The results depicted in the table above are dependent on material assumptions. For instance, asymmetrical rate behavior can have a material impact on the simulation results. If competition for deposits prompts the Company to raise rates on those liabilities more quickly than is assumed in the simulation analysis without a corresponding increase in asset yields, net interest income would be negatively impacted. Alternatively, if the Company is able to lag increases in deposit rates as loans re-price upward, net interest income would be positively impacted.

The most significant factors affecting market risk exposure of the Company’s net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 were the shape of the U.S. Government securities and interest rate swap yield curve, the U.S. prime interest rate and LIBOR rates, and the interest rates being offered on long-term fixed rate loans.

The Company manages the interest rate risk inherent in both its loan and borrowing portfolios by ~~utilizing~~using interest rate swap agreements and interest rate caps and floors. An interest rate swap is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a fixed rate of interest on the same notional amount for a predetermined period of time from ~~a second~~the other party. Interest rate caps and floors are agreements ~~whereby~~where one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount for a predetermined period of time to a second party if certain market interest rate thresholds are realized. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. Additionally, the Company may manage the interest rate risk inherent in its mortgage banking operations by entering into forward sales contracts. Prior to closing and funding certain 1- 4 family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate ~~such~~that risk, forward delivery sales commitments are executed, under which

the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors. See Note 8,9, “Derivative and Hedging Activities” within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information regarding the Company’s Derivative Financial Instruments.

The Company’s earnings are not directly or materially impacted by movements in foreign currency rates or commodity prices. Movements in equity prices may have a modest impact on earnings by affecting the volume of activity or the amount of fees from investment-related business lines. See Note 3,4, “Securities” within Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item ~~1 hereof.~~1.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash in the most economical way ~~for the institution~~ to meet its ongoing obligations to pay deposit withdrawals, ~~service~~repay borrowings, and to fund ~~loan commitments.~~loans. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and the amortization, prepayment, and maturities of loans and securities. The Bank utilizes its extensive branch network to access retail customers who

provide a base of in-market core deposits. These funds are principally comprised of demand deposits, interest checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. Deposit levels are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions, and competitive factors.

~~The Company actively manages its~~Management maintains an Asset Liability Committee to manage liquidity ~~position under the direction of the Asset-Liability Committee of the Bank ("ALCO").~~risk. The Company’s primary measure of short-term liquidity is the Total Basic Surplus/Deficit as a percentage of assets. This ratio, which ~~is an analysis of~~analyzes the relationship between liquid assets plus available funding at the FHLB, less short-term liabilities relative to total assets, was within policy limits at September 30, ~~2018.~~2019. The Total Basic Surplus/Deficit measure is affected primarily by changes in deposits, securities and short-term investments, loans, and borrowings. An increase in deposits, without a corresponding increase in nonliquid assets, will improve the Total Basic Surplus/Deficit measure, whereas, an increase in loans, with no increase in deposits, will decrease the measure. Other factors affecting the Total Basic Surplus/Deficit measure include collateral requirements at the FHLB, changes in the securities portfolio, and the mix of deposits.

The Bank seeks to increase deposits without adversely impacting the weighted average cost of those funds. As part of a prudent liquidity risk management practice, the Company maintains various liquidity sources, some of which are only accessed on a contingency basis. Accordingly, ~~management~~Management has implemented funding strategies that include FHLB advances, Federal Reserve Bank borrowing capacity, and repurchase agreement lines. These ~~nondeposit funds~~funding sources are ~~also viewed as~~ a contingent source of liquidity and, when profitable lending and investment opportunities exist, access to ~~such funds~~them provides a means to grow the balance sheet.

Borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve is impacted by the amount and type of assets available to be pledged. For example, a prime, one-to-four family, residential loan, may provide 75 cents of borrowing capacity for every $1.00 pledged, whereas, a commercial loan may provide a lower amount. As a result, the Company’s ~~strategic~~ lending decisions can also affect its liquidity position.

The Company can raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or unsecured debt privately or publicly and has done so in the past. Additionally, the Company is able to enter into additional repurchase agreements or acquire brokered deposits at its discretion. The availability and cost of equity or debt on an unsecured basis is dependent on many factors. Some factors that will impact this source of liquidity are the Company’s financial position, the market environment, and the Company’s credit rating. ~~As such,~~The Company monitors the ~~Company is careful to monitor the various~~ factors that could impact its ability to raise liquidity through these channels.

The table below shows current and unused liquidity capacity from various sources as of the dates indicated:

Inclusive of $48.5 million of reciprocal deposits acquired through participation in the Promontory Interfinancial Network as of and December 31, 2017. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, which was promulgated during the second quarter of 2018, states that most reciprocal deposits are no longer treated as brokered deposits. As such, the Company is prospectively reporting deposits from the Promontory Interfinancial Network as nonbrokered.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of ~~2018~~2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

At September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the Bank was involved in pending lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of business. Management has reviewed these pending lawsuits with legal counsel and has taken into consideration the view of counsel as to their outcome. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of pending lawsuits is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~The Company intends to incur debt to fund cash payments required in connection with the BHB merger.~~

~~The Company will be required to pay cash consideration in connection with the closing~~As of the ~~merger. Although the merger agreement does not include a financing contingency, the Company does not currently believe that it will~~date of this report, there have sufficient cash at closing at the holding company level to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration and other transaction costs and expenses required to complete the merger. Accordingly, the Company intends to issue debt in order to raise cash to complete the merger. If the Company is unable to issue debt on terms that are acceptable or at all, the Bank may have to pay a special dividendbeen no material changes with regard to the ~~Company to supply~~Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company with the cash needed to complete the merger. However, any special dividend is subject to regulatory approval and the cash reserves and regulatory capital of the Bank may be materially adversely affectedfiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which are incorporated herein by the special cash dividend. The Company has not entered into any definitive agreement for debt financing, and its ability to obtain debt financing is subject to various factors, including market conditions, the Company’s operating performance and financial condition and third party credit ratings. The Company cannot assure you that we will be able to secure debt financing in a sufficient amount, on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all, and we further cannot assure you that in the event we is unable to secure debt financing, the Bank will receive regulatory approval to pay a special dividend to the Company.

~~The Company and the Bank will have over $10 billion in total consolidated assets as a result of the BHB merger, which will lead to increased regulation.~~

Upon consummation of the merger, and as of September 30, 2018 on a pro forma basis giving effect to the merger, the Company and the Bank will each have over $11 billion in total consolidated assets. Accordingly, the Company and the Bank will become subject to certain regulations that apply only to depository institution holding companies or depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more.

Debit card interchange fee restrictions set forth in Section 1075 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which is known as the Durbin Amendment, as implemented by regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, cap the maximum debit interchange fee that a debit card issuer may receive per transaction at the sum of $0.21 plus five basis points. A debit card issuer that adopts certain fraud prevention procedures may charge an additional $0.01 per transaction. Debit card issuers with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, which currently includes the Bank and Blue Hills Bank, are exempt from these interchange fee restrictions. The exemption for small issuers ceases to apply as of July 1st of the year following the calendar year in which the debit card issuer has total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more at calendar year-end. As a result, if the bank merger is consummated in 2019, the Bank will become subject to the interchange restrictions of the Durbin Amendment beginning July 1, 2020. the Company and the Bank are currently evaluating the financial impact of the Bank becoming subject to the Durbin Amendment.

In addition, an insured depository institution with total assets of $10 billion or more is subject to supervision, examination, and enforcement with respect to consumer protection laws by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which we refer to as the CFPB. Under its current policies, the CFPB will assert jurisdiction in the first quarter after the call reports of merging insured depository institutions, on a combined basis, show total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more for four consecutive quarters, including quarters ended prior to the merger. As a result, the Company expects the Bank to become subject to CFPB supervision, examination and enforcement at the beginning of the quarter following consummation of the bank merger.

There are other regulatory requirements that apply to insured depository institution holding companies and insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more. These include, but are not limited to, (i) the establishment by publicly traded depository institution holding companies with $10 billion or more in assets of a risk committee responsible for oversight of enterprise-wide risk management practices that are commensurate with the entity’s structure, risk profile, complexity, activities and size and (ii) an institution with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more no longer being entitled to benefit from the FDIC’s offset of the effect of the increase in the statutory minimum Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio to 1.35% from the former statutory minimum of 1.15% that is required for institutions with assets of less than $10 billion by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

In addition, Congress and/or regulatory agencies may impose new requirements or surcharges on these institutions in the future. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Reform, and Consumer Protection Act, which was enacted on May 24, 2018, includes provisions that, as they are implemented, relieve banking organizations with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion (and that satisfy certain other conditions) from risk-based capital requirements, restrictions on proprietary trading and investment and sponsorship in hedge funds and private equity funds known as the Volcker Rule, and certain other regulatory requirements. Once the Company and the Bank have total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more, the Company and the Bank will no longer qualify for any of the foregoing relief.

~~There can be no assurance that the benefits of the merger will outweigh the regulatory costs resulting from the Company and the Bank having total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more.~~reference.
