ATLANTIC CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(the “Bank”), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)GAAP and general banking industry practices. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying financial statements have been made.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Atlantic Capital’s filingAnnual Report on Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES AND RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2017,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of making the necessary adjustments to prepare for the impact that the discontinuance of LIBOR will have on its existing contracts and consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12 - ASU No. 2019-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements toSimplifying the Accounting for Hedging Activities.Income Taxes. The purpose of this updated This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance isin ASC 740 related to better align a company’s financial reportingthe approach for hedging activities withintraperiod tax allocation, the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effectivemethodology for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoptioncalculating income taxes in an interim period permitted. Atlantic Capital plans to adopt ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2018.and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance requiresalso simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a modified retrospective transition method resultingstep-up in the cumulative effecttax basis of the change on the opening balancegoodwill. Finally, it clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of each affected component of equityconsolidated income tax expense in the statement oftheir separate financial position as of the date of adoption. Atlantic Capital does not expect adoptionstatements, but they could elect to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issueddo so. ASU 2017-09 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope and Modification Accounting.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. The amendments will be2019-12 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU is2020 and did not expected to have a material impact on Atlantic Capital’s consolidated financial statements.
position or results of operations.

In March 2017,October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08No. 2020-08,Receivables - Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.”This guidance shortensupdate clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security meets the premiumcriteria to adjust the amortization period for certain callable debt securities by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The standard is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoptionof any related premium at each reporting period. Adoption of this update, is not expected to have a material impact on Atlantic Capital’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which intends to simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the second step of the analysis under which the implied fair value of goodwill is determined as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. The update instead requires entities to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and iswas effective for the Company onAtlantic Capital as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Atlantic Capital does2021, did not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,”to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: 1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; 4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; 6) distributions received from equity method investees; 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and 8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. As this guidance only affects

the classification within the statement of cash flows, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement

6

Table of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 13, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. Atlantic Capital is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.Contents

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payments including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some areas of the simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and additional paid in capital pools will be eliminated. The guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Companies will be required to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as currently required, through an accounting policy election. The guidance will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s income tax withholding obligation. The guidance requires an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases. Under the new guidance, leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP must be recorded on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Atlantic Capital is evaluating the significance and other effects of adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The guidance in this update requires that equity investments (except those accounting for under the equity method of accounting) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The guidance also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. In addition, the guidance addresses various disclosure and presentation issues related to financial instruments. For public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early application permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Atlantic Capital’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This update is a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board initiated to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard that is meant to remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices, provide more useful information to users of financial statements and simplify the preparation of financial statements. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict 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. For public companies, this guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities, this ASU will not have a material impact on net interest income and securities gains. Atlantic Capital completed an initial evaluation of the impact to other revenue streams such as service charges and trust income, and believes the most significant changes will be related to disclosures.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES


On October 31, 2015, Atlantic Capital completed the acquisition of First Security Group, Inc. (“First Security”). First Security operated twenty-five branches in Georgia and Tennessee. In connection with the acquisition, Atlantic Capital acquired approximately $801.1 million of loans and assumed approximately $970.0 million of deposits.

Acquisition-related costs totaled $0 and $304,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $579,000 and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and were included in noninterest expense in the consolidated income statement. Acquisition related costs primarily include severance costs, professional services, data processing fees related to systems conversion and other noninterest expenses.

Divestiture of Branches

On December 17, 2015, Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) entered into two separate definitive agreements to sell seven branches in the Tennessee market. The agreement with First Freedom Bank included the sale of three branches located in Algood, Cookeville and Gainesboro, Tennessee for a premium of 2.25% of deposits. The agreement with Athens Federal Community Bank, N.A. included the sale of four branches in Athens, Lenoir City, Madisonville and Sweetwater, Tennessee for a premium of 3.50% of deposits. Both transactions closed in the second quarter of 2016 and resulted in a combined gain of $3.9 million as well as a reduction of approximately $191.0 million in deposits, approximately $34.7 million in loans and approximately $8.6 million in other assets. The gain was somewhat reduced by an impairment of $2.0 million in core deposit intangibles, which was offset by a $344,000 reversal in time deposit premium. There were also $305,000 of expenses associated with the divestitures included in noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2016.

On December 9, 2016, Atlantic Capital entered into a definitive agreement to sell one branch in Cleveland, Tennessee, to SmartBank. The sale closed in the second quarter of 2017, and resulted in a net gain of $302,000 as well as a reduction of approximately $21.9 million in deposits and approximately $27.3 million in loans and other assets. The gross gain of $533,000 was reduced by an impairment of $337,000 in core deposit intangibles, which was offset by a $106,000 reversal in time deposit premium. There were also $38,000 of expenses associated with the divestiture included in noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2017.

NOTE 4 – BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

Atlantic Capital enters into reverse repurchase agreements in order to invest short-term funds. Atlantic Capital enters into repurchase agreements for short-term financing needs.

The following table presents a summary of amounts outstanding under reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, andin derivative financial instruments including those entered into in connection with the same counterparty under master netting agreements and amounts received or pledged as of September 30, 2017collateral at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016.2020. While these agreements are typically over-collateralized, U.S. GAAP requires disclosures in this table to limit the amount of such collateral to the amount of the related recognized asset or liability for each counterparty.

The general component ofdecrease in the allowance for loancredit losses is based on the incurred losses inherentat March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 was due to an improvement in the portfolio. The loss factors are determined through the generation of probabilities of default (“PDs”)CECL economic forecast along with credit rating upgrades for criticized and losses given default (“LGDs”) for groups of similar loans with similar credit grades where Loss Rate = PD x LGD. The PDs and LGDs for the loan portfolio are calculated based on Atlantic Capital’s loss history as well as available market-based data. The loss factor for each pool of loansclassified loans.

A charge-off is adjusted based on qualitative and environmental factors to account for conditions in the current environment which management believes are likely to cause a difference between the calculated loss based on historical performance and the incurred loss in the existing portfolio. These factors include: changes in policies and procedures, changes in the economy, changes in nature or volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans, changes in lending management, changes in past dues and credit migration, changes in the loan review system, changes in the value of collateral and concentration risk and changes in external factors, such as competition, legal and regulatory. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates these factors in order to determine an adjustment unique to Atlantic Capital and its market.

Charge-offs are recognized when the amount of the loss is quantifiable and timing is known. CollateralA collateral based loan charge-offs arecharge-off is measured based on the difference between the loan’s carrying value, including deferred fees, and the estimated net realizable value of the loan.loan collateral. When assessing property value for the purpose of determining a charge-off, a third-party appraisal or an independently derived internal evaluation is generally employed.
A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information

Nonaccrual loans include both homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and classified as impaired. 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. A specific allowance is established for individually evaluated impaired loans as needed. Reserves on impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the observable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral of the loan if the loan is collateral dependent.


loans. Atlantic Capital’s policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the principal and interest on a loan is not likely to be repaid in accordance with the loan terms or when the loan becomes 90 days past due and is not both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is classified on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current interest revenue. Principal and interest payments received on a nonaccrual loan are applied to reduce outstanding principal.
PCI loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 were not classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, as the carrying value of the respective loan or pool of loans’ cash flows were considered estimable and collection was probable. Therefore, interest revenue, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows (accretable yield), is being recognized on all acquired loans being accounted for under ASC 310-30.
The balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans by portfolio segment and based on impairment method is presented in the following table as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Section 4013 “Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings,” of the deficiency agreement, partCARES Act, passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of the credit relationship was restructured. The restructure included a charge off and the reclassification of the remaining balance to a TDR of $980,000. Additionally,time during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,COVID-19 pandemic. The relief was extended by the modification of terms2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act through January 1, 2022. On April 7, 2020, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council provided additional guidance in its Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for one Home EquityFinancial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised). This guidance received concurrence from the FASB and clarified that loan included a short term extension ofmodifications made under the maturity date. During


the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the modification of terms for one Commercial and Industrial loan included an extension of the maturity date and related amortization period date of two years. The modification of terms for two Commercial Real Estate loans established an interest only payment period of six months. There were no subsequent defaults on prior TDRs.
following criteria are generally not considered TDRs if:

the modification is in response to the national emergency;
the borrower was current on payments at the time the modification program is implemented; and
the modification is short-term (e.g., six months).

Atlantic Capital individually rates loans based on internal credit risk ratings using numerous factors, including thorough analysis of historical and expected cash flows, consumer credit risk scores (FICO scores)(FICO), rating agency information, LTV ratios, collateral, collection experience, and other internal metrics. Atlantic Capital uses a dual rating system. The likelihood of default of a credit transaction is graded in the Obligor Rating. The risk of loss given default is graded in the Facility Rating. The Obligor Rating and is determined through credit analysis. Facility Ratings are used to describe the value to the Company that the collateral represents. Facility Ratings are based on the collateral package or market expectations regarding the value or liquidity of the collateral. Ratings are generally reviewed at least annually or more frequently if there is a material change in creditworthiness. Exceptions to this policy may include well collateralizedloans with commitments less than $1 million, well-collateralized term loans and loans to individuals with limited exposure or complexity.

Atlantic Capital uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process and that do not meet the criteria of special mention, substandard or doubtful.

14

Table of Contents

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that requires management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The above sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the amounts indicate, changes in fair value based on valuation assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

NOTE 1110 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Risk Management

Atlantic Capital’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability tostabilize net interest revenue and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective,these objectives, Atlantic Capital primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.

Cash Flow Hedges

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, Atlantic Capital’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the payment of floating-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for receiving fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, Atlantic Capital had interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amountamounts of $75.0$150.0 million and $50.0$125.0 million, respectively.

No hedge ineffectiveness gains or losses were recognized on active cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The effective portion of changes

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Atlantic Capital expects that approximately $237,000$1.9 million will be reclassified as an increase to loan interest income over the next twelve months related to these cash flow hedges.

Customer Swaps

Atlantic Capital also enters into derivative contracts, which consist of interest rate swaps, to facilitate the needs of clients desiring to manage interest rate risk. These swaps are not designated as accounting hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In order toTo economically hedge the interest rate risk associated with offering this product, Atlantic Capital simultaneously enters into derivative contracts with third parties to offset the customer contracts, such that Atlantic Capital minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The derivative contracts are structured such that the notional amounts reduce over time to generally match the expected amortization of the underlying loans. These derivatives are not speculative and arise from a service provided to clients.

Atlantic Capital’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in other assets and accrued interest receivable and other liabilities and accrued interest payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in other noninterestderivatives income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.Income and in net increase/decrease in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, Atlantic Capital had interest rate swaps related to this program with an aggregate notional amount of $139.1$67.6 million and $140.7$68.4 million, respectively.

Atlantic Capital acquired a loan level hedging program, which First Security utilized to accommodate clients preferring a fixed rate loan. The loan documents include an addendum with a zero premium collar. The zero premium collar is a cap and a floor at the same interest rate, resulting in a fixed rate to the borrower. To hedge this embedded option, First Security entered into a dealer facing trade exactly mirroring the terms in the loan addendum.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Atlantic Capital had interest rate swaps related to this program with an aggregate notional amount of $135.7 million and $137.1 million, respectively.

Counterparty Credit Risk

As a result of its derivative contracts, Atlantic Capital is exposed to credit risk. Specifically approved counterparties and exposure limits are defined. On a quarterly basis,Quarterly, the customer derivative contracts and related counterparties are evaluated for credit risk and an adjustment is made to the contract’s fair value. This adjustment is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Most derivative contracts with clients are secured by collateral. Additionally, in

In accordance with the interest rate agreements with derivatives dealers, Atlantic Capital may be required to post margin to these counterparties. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, Atlantic Capital had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and posted collateral of $9.5$9.0 million and $16.3$11.8 million, respectively,

against its obligations under these agreements. Cash collateral related to derivative contracts is recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Atlantic Capital has master netting agreements with the derivatives dealers with which it does business, but reflects gross assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, management made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis.

To accommodate clients, Atlantic Capital occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps. This allows clients to execute an interest rate swap with one bank while allowing for distribution of the credit risk among participating members. Credit risk participation agreements arise when Atlantic Capital contracts with other financial institutions, as a guarantor, to share credit risk associated with certain interest rate swaps. These agreements provide for reimbursement of losses resulting from a third party default on the underlying swap. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, Atlantic Capital had credit risk participation agreements with a notional amount of $15.6$5.3 million and $4.5$5.8 million, respectively.


The following table reflects the estimated fair value positions of derivative contracts and credit risk participation agreements as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016:2020:

NOTE 1413 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Atlantic Capital follows the guidance pursuant to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This issuance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. Atlantic Capital measures its investment securities and interest rate derivative assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis either when assets are evaluated for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Atlantic Capital measures its servicing assets, goodwill, intangible assets, loans held for sale, impaired loans and other real estate owned at fair value on a nonrecurring basis if necessary.

The guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and

Accounting standards defines fair value as the price that couldwould be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. Asparticipants, with a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, this guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).


Atlantic Capital applied the following fair valuethree-level measurement hierarchy:

Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical item is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded instruments or futures contracts.


Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.


Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market, instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and risk premiums that a market participant would require.


28

In instances where the determination

Table of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or Level 2 and Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There was one transfer between Level 2 and Level 3 and no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.Contents


Atlantic Capital records investment securities available-for-sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, Atlantic Capital obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. In estimating the fair values for investment securities, Atlantic Capital believes that independent third-party market prices are the best evidence of an exit price. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury Department yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things.

Derivative instruments are primarily transacted as over-the-counter trades and priced with observable market assumptions. Ongoing measurements include observable market assumptions with appropriate valuation adjustments for liquidity and for credit risk of counterparties and Atlantic Capital’s own credit. For these instruments, Atlantic Capital obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider factors such as the likelihood of default by Atlantic Capital and its counterparties, total exposure and remaining maturities in determining the appropriate fair value adjustments to record. Generally, the expected loss of each client counterparty is estimated using Atlantic Capital’s internal risk rating system. For financial institution counterparties that are rated by national rating agencies, those ratings are used in determining the credit risk. This approach used to estimate exposures to counterparties is also used by Atlantic Capital to estimate its own credit risk on derivative liability positions.

For Level 3 securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators. Atlantic Capital had no Level 3 securities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, there was not ano change in the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value.

Level 3 loans consist of impaired loans which have been partially charged-off or have specific valuation allowances.allowances based on collateral value. The fair value of Level 3 assets is estimated based on the underlying collateral value. For loans which the cash proceeds from the sale of the underlying collateral is the expected source of repayment, the fair value of these loans was derived from internal estimates of the underlying collateral incorporating market data, including third party appraisals or evaluations, when available. Appraised values may be discounted based on management’s assessment of the level of inactivity in the real estate market and other markets for the underlying collateral, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and other information that in management’s judgment may affect the value. Impaired loans are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis and adjusted accordingly.


Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value


For financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quotes are used to determine fair value. Financial instruments that have no defined maturity, have a remaining maturity of 180 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market rate, are assumed to have a fair value that approximates the reported book value, after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk. If no market quotes are available, financial instruments are valued by discounting the expected cash flows using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial instrument. For loans held for investment, fair value is measured using the exit price notion. For off-balance sheet derivative instruments, fair value is estimated as the amount that Atlantic Capital would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.


The short maturity of Atlantic Capital’s assets and liabilities results in having a significant number of financial instruments whose fair value equals or closely approximates carrying value. Such financial instruments are reported in the following balance sheet captions: cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, other short-term investments, FRB stock and FHLB stock. The fair value of securities available-for-sale equals the balance sheet value.quoted market prices, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or dealer quotes. Due to the short-term settlement of accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount closely approximates fair value.


Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect the premium or discount on any particular financial instrument that could result from the sale of Atlantic Capital’s entire holdings. Because no ready market exists for a significant portion of Atlantic Capital’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.


Off-balance sheet financial instruments (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit) are generally short-term and at variable rates. Therefore, both the carrying amount and the estimated fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

NOTE 1514 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Atlantic Capital is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, most of which are standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement Atlantic Capital has in particular classes of financial instruments.

31

Table of Contents

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Atlantic Capital to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Most letters of credit expire in less than one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Atlantic Capital’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Atlantic Capital uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Atlantic Capital’s maximum exposure to credit risk for unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit as well as a summary of minimum lease payments at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016 was2020 were as follows:

The Company also had commitments related to investments in SBICs totaling $1.9 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, Atlantic Capital had private equity commitments totaling $1.5 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

From time to time, Atlantic Capital, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or the range of any possible loss, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising from these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on Atlantic Capital’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 15 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity, or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed, such as a wire transfer or ATM withdrawal. Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On October 25, 2017, Atlantic Capital entered into a Separation Agreement with D. Michael KramerLEASES

Operating leases in connection withwhich the resignationCompany is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, included in premises and equipment and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not currently have any significant finance leases in which it is the lessee.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from his position as Presidentthe lease. ROU assets and Chief Operating Officeroperating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the Company.

The Separation Agreement provides for benefits to and imposes obligations upon Mr. Kramer. Specifically, Mr. Kramer is entitled to receive the followingremaining lease payments and benefits under the Separation Agreement:
all accrued but unpaid base salary through December 22, 2017;
using a cash payment of $407,265, whichdiscount rate that represents one (1) times his base salary;
a cash payment of $183,269, which represents one (1) times his target bonus opportunity, under the Company’s Executive Officer Short Term Incentive Plan (the “STI Plan”)incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for 2017;lease incentives. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in net occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s leases relate primarily to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 1 to 12 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which typically range from 5 to 10 years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term. Portions of certain properties are subleased for terms extending through 2024. As of March 31, 2021, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $9.5 million and $14.4 million, respectively, compared to $9.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component. The Company’s leases include variable lease payments with annual increases based on changes in market rental rates.

Rent expense, which was included in occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $503,000 and $603,000, respectively.

This increase was primarily driven by a $2.1decline in interest expense of $3.0 million, or 10%59%, increase in taxable equivalent interest income. The change in taxable equivalent net interest income primarily resulted from the following:

a $1.1 million, or 76%, increase to $2.5 million in taxable equivalent interest income on investment securities, resulting from a $120.0 million, or 36%, increase in average balance, due primarilycompared to the increased investmentsame period in non-taxable investment securities; and
2020, partially offset by a $980,000, or 5%, increasedecrease in interest income of $471,000, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2020. The yield on loans resultingdecreased by 88 basis points to 3.89% from increases in the Fed Funds rate.

The change in interest expense was primarily due to a $1.1decrease in expense on NOW, money market and savings deposits of $2.9 million, or 38%78%, and a decrease in brokered deposits interest expense of $300,000, or 83%. These decreases were offset by an increase fromof $265,000, or 32%, in interest expense on long-term debt, due to the same periodissuance of 2016.$75 million in subordinated debt in August 2020. The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 30decreased 87 basis points from the thirdfirst quarter of 20162020 to the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2021, driven by an increasea decrease in interest rates on deposits and other borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits were lower mainly due to the branch saleborrowings resulting from decreases in the second quarter of 2017 and a reduction in brokered deposits. In addition, premium amortization of acquired time deposits reduced interest expensefederal funds rate during the third quarter of 2017 in the amount of $75,000, compared to $170,000 in the third quarter of 2016.

Taxable equivalent net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $60.7 million, a $3.0 million, or 5%, increase compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily driven by a $5.7 million, or 9%, increase in taxable equivalent interest income. The interest income increase primarily resulted from the following:
a $2.9 million, or 64%, increase to $7.4 million in tax equivalent interest income on investment securities, resulting from a $71.4 million, or 19%, increase in average balance, due primarily to the increased investment in non-taxable investment securities; and
a $2.4 million, or 4%, increase in interest income on loans, resulting from increases in the Fed Funds rate.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $11.1 million, a $2.6 million, or 31%, increase from the same period of 2016, primarily due to a $1.8 million, or 32%, increase in interest paid on deposits. The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points from the first nine months of 2016 to the same period of 2017, driven by an increase in interest rates on deposits and other borrowings.

Taxable equivalentMarch 31, 2020 due to a decline in loan yields partially offset by lower cost of deposits. The large increase in deposits and corresponding increase in low-yielding cash balances also contributed to the lower net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to 3.24% compared to 3.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Table 2 - Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Analysis

(dollars in thousands; taxable equivalent net interest margin for the three and nine month periods were the higher level of investment in non-taxable investment securities and higher interest rates on loans resulting from Fed Funds rate increases.

The following table presents information regarding average balances for assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing the income or expense by the average balances for assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans.

Provision for LoanCredit Losses

Management considers a number of factors in determining the required level of the allowance for loancredit losses and the provision required to achieve what is believed to be appropriate reserve level, including historical loss experience, loan growth, credit risk rating trends, nonperforming loan levels, delinquencies, loan portfolio concentrations, and economic forecasts and market trends. The provision for loancredit losses represents management’s determination of the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the allowance for loancredit losses at a level that itis considered adequate in relation to the estimated lifetime losses inherentexpected in the loan portfolio.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, theMarch 31, 2021, we recorded negative provision for loancredit losses was $322,000,totaling $4.5 million, a decrease of $141,000, or 30%,$12.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The higher provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily related to the downgrade of a $7.7 million loan relationship to nonperforming in the second quarter of 2017 and an additional $1.0 million specific reserve related to this downgrade. A $3.3 million charge-off was recorded in the third quarter of 2017 for this relationship. At September 30, 2017, nonperforming loans totaled $4.6 million compared to $790,000 at September 30, 2016. Net loan charge-offsMarch 31, 2021 were .68% and .32%, respectively,0.04% of average loans (annualized) for, unchanged from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to .06% and .13%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax basis including operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Net deferred tax assets (deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance) are reported in the consolidated balance sheetConsolidated Balance Sheets as a component of totalother assets.

Accounting Standards Codification

ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. The determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is appropriate is subject to considerable judgment and requires an evaluation of all positive and negative evidence with more weight given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Each quarter, management considers both positive and negative evidence and analyzes changes in near-term market conditions as well as other factors which may impact future operating results.

Based on all evidence considered, as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset would be realized, except as outlined in the following discussion. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016, Atlantic Capital had2020, we recorded a deferred tax asset valuation allowance totaling $9.2$6.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively, on certain net operating loss carryforwards due to the fact that certain tax attributes are subject to an annual limitation as a result of the acquisition of First Security, which constituted a change of ownership as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Management expects to generate higher levels of future taxable income and believes this will allow for full utilization of Atlantic Capital’sour remaining net operating loss carryforwards within the statutory carryforward periods.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20162020 were $2.64$3.73 billion and $2.73$3.62 billion, respectively. Average total assets for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 were $2.70$3.61 billion, compared to $2.72$2.69 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.

2020. The increase in average total assets was primarily due to increases in loan growth, which included the origination of 291 round two PPP loans totaling $73.0 million during the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by $47.0 million in PPP loans forgiven during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In addition, consumer loans increased $27.1 million due to growth in a partnership with a fintech firm that offers CD-secured consumer loans to its customers.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned. Loans are considered to be past due when payment is not received from the borrower by the contractually specified due date. Interest accruals on loans are discontinued when interest or principal has been in default 90 days or more, unless the loan is both secured by collateral that is sufficient to repay the debt in full and the loan is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued and not paid in the current accounting period is reversed against current period income. Interest accrued and not paid in prior periods, if significant, is reversed against the allowance for loan losses.

credit losses on loans.

Income on such loans is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the future collection of principal is deemed probable or after all principal payments are received. Commercial loans are placed back on accrual status after sustained performance of timely and current principal and interest payments and it is probable that all remaining amounts due, both principal and interest, are fully collectible according to the terms of the loan agreement. Residential loans and consumer loans are generally placed back on accrual status when they are no longer past due.

Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. However, these loans are considered as performing, even though they may be contractually past due, as any non-payment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period covered loan loss provision or future period yield adjustments. PCI loans totaling $1.1 million were not classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2017 as the carrying value of the respective loan or pool of loans cash flows were considered estimable and collection was probable. Therefore, interest revenue, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all PCI loans.

At September 30, 2017, Atlantic Capital’sMarch 31, 2021, our nonperforming assets totaled $6.0$2.1 million, or 0.23%0.06% of total assets, compared to $3.5$4.9 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at December 31, 2016.2020. The increasedecrease was primarily due to a decline in nonperforming loans resulting from the Bank placing two loan relationships totaling $2.4 millionSBA guaranty on nonaccrual status.one commercial and industrial relationship and reduction in loans past due over 90 days during the first three months of 2021.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $4.1$1.8 million and $621,000$3.8 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the Bank placing two loan relationships totaling $2.4 million on nonaccrual status. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing totaled $495,000$251,000 at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $994,000$1.1 million at December 31, 2016.2020. The gross additional interest revenue that would have been earned if the loans classified as nonaccrual had performed in accordance with the original terms for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is immaterial.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

TDRs are selectively made to provide relief to customers experiencing liquidity challenges or other circumstances that could affect their ability to meet their debt obligations. Typical modifications include short-term deferral of interest or modification of payment terms.rate reductions, term extensions and other concessions intended to minimize losses. Nonperforming TDRs are not accruing interest and are included as nonperforming assets within nonaccrual loans. TDRs, which are accruing interest based on the restructured terms, are considered performing. Table 8 below summarizes TDRs.

Certain borrowers may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the adverse effects of COVID-19. To help mitigate these effects, loan customers may apply for a deferral of payments, or portions thereof. In the absence of other intervening factors, such short-term modifications made in good faith are not categorized as TDRs, nor are loans granted payment deferrals related to COVID-19 reported as past due or placed on non-accrual status (provided the loans were not past due or on non-accrual status prior to the deferral).

Potential Problem Loans

Management identifies and maintains a list of potential problem loans. These are loans that are internally risk graded special mention or below but which are not included in nonaccrual status and are not past due 90 days or more. A loan is added to the potential problem list when management becomes aware of information about possible credit problems of the borrower, which raises serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower to comply with the current loan repayment terms. Potential problem loans totaled $61.9$160.0 million and $47.6$172.7 million respectively, as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016.2020, respectively. As a percentage of total loans, potential problem loans were 6.9% and 7.7% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease was primarily related to credit rating upgrades for criticized and classified loans. As a number of potential problem loans are real estate secured, management closely tracks the current values of real estate collateralcollateral when assessing the collectability of these loans.

Allowance for LoanCredit Losses

At September 30, 2017, the on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

The allowance for loancredit losses totaled $18.9 million, or 0.99%was 1.31% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2021, compared to $20.6 million, or 1.04% of loans,1.55% at December 31, 2016.2020. The allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment excluding PPP loans was 1.45% as of March 31, 2021 compared to 1.70% at December 31, 2020. The decrease from December 31, 2020 was due to an improvement in the CECL economic forecast along with credit rating upgrades for criticized and classified loans.

The base case economic forecast used for the March 31, 2021 calculation was published in early March. Management applied an economic and business conditions qualitative adjustment to the allowance by incorporating an alternative forecast scenario. The alternative forecast scenario was primarilyderived from economic conditions experienced during 2008 and 2009, which included a significant recession. Other qualitative adjustments applied by management during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the $3.3 million charge-off of a loan relationshipcredit concentrations and the reversal of the specific reserve.

Changes in the amount of Atlantic Capital’s available-for-saleour investment securities portfolio result primarily from balance sheet trends including loans, deposit balances, and short-term borrowings. When inflows arising from the management of deposits and short-term borrowings exceed loan demand, Atlantic Capital investswe invest excess funds in the securities portfolio or in short-term investments. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, Atlantic Capital allowswe allow interest-bearing balances with other banks to decline and uses proceeds from maturing or sold securities to fund loan demand.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Atlantic Capital’s core deposit intangible representing the value of the acquired deposit base, is an amortizing intangible asset that is required to be tested for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. There were no events or circumstances that led management to believe that any impairment existed at September 30, 2017 in Atlantic Capital’s other intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the premium paid for acquired companies above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identifiable intangible assets. Atlantic Capital evaluates itsWe evaluate our goodwill annually as of October 1, or more frequently if necessary, to determine if any impairment exists. Factors that management considers in this assessment includes macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, our overall financial performance and changes in the composition or carrying amount of net assets. We performed our annual goodwill assessment as of October 1, 2020 and concluded that our carrying value was not in excess of its fair value. We considered the impact of COVID-19 on these factors as of March 31, 2021 and will continue to monitor triggering events related to the pandemic between annual impairment assessments. There were no triggering events requiring an impairment test during the first three months of 2021.

Liquidity risk management


Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution will be unable to generate or obtain sufficient funding, at a reasonable cost, to meet operational cash needs and to take advantage of revenue producing opportunities as they arise. Other forms of liquidity risk include market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash at expected levels, an inability to access funding sources at sufficient levels at a reasonable cost, and changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal, and reputation risks that can affect an institution’s liquidity risk profile. Liquidity management involves maintaining Atlantic Capital’sour ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of Atlantic Capital’sour customers, both depositors and borrowers.

Atlantic Capital utilizes

We utilize various measures to monitor and control liquidity risk across three different types of liquidity:

tactical liquidity measures the risk of a negative cash flow position whereby cash outflows exceed cash inflows over a short-term horizon;
structural liquidity measures the amount by which illiquid assets are supported by long-term funding; and
contingent liquidity utilizes cash flow stress testing across three crisis scenarios to determine the adequacy of Atlantic Capital’s liquidity.

Atlantic Capital aims

tactical liquidity measures the risk of a negative cash flow position whereby cash outflows exceed cash inflows over a short-term horizon;
structural liquidity measures the amount by which illiquid assets are supported by long-term funding; and
contingent liquidity utilizes cash flow stress testing across four crisis scenarios to determine the adequacy of our liquidity.

We aim to maintain a diverse mix of existing and potential liquidity sources to support the liquidity management function. At its core is a reliance on the customer deposit book, due to the low cost it offers. Other sources of liquidity include asset-based liquidity in the form of cash and unencumbered securities, as well as access to wholesale funding from external counterparties, primarily advances from the FHLB of Atlanta, Federal Fundsfederal funds lines and other borrowing facilities. Atlantic Capital aimsWe aim to avoid funding concentrations by diversifying external secured and unsecured funding with respect to maturities, counterparties and nature. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, management believesbelieved that Atlantic Capitalwe had sufficient on-balance sheet liquidity to meet itsour funding needs.

At September 30, 2017, Atlantic CapitalMarch 31, 2021, we had access to $375.0$535.0 million in unsecured borrowings and $695.2$814.6 million in secured borrowings through various sources. Atlantic Capitalsources, including FHLB advances and access to federal funds. We also hashave the ability to attract more retail deposits by offering aggressively pricedincreasing rates.


We had $218.8 million in PPP loans outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The loans were funded from existing sources and will reduce available liquidity until the loans are forgiven or purchased by the SBA or third parties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Atlantic Capital makes

These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. In addition to commitments to extend credit, Atlantic Capitalwe also issuesissue standby letters of credit, which are assurances to a third party that it will not suffer a loss if the customer fails to meet a contractual obligation to the third party. At September 30, 2017, Atlantic CapitalAs of March 31, 2021, we had issued commitments to extend credit of approximately $686.7$789.9 million and standby letters of credit of approximately $13.7$15.1 million through various types of commercial lending arrangements.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Effective risk management is critical to Atlantic Capital’sour success. The Dodd-Frank Act requires that bank holding companies with total assets in excess of $10 billion establish an enterprise-wide risk committee consisting of members of its board of directors. Although Atlantic Capital doeswe do not have total assets in excess of $10 billion, the Audit Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Bank’s board of directors has an Audit and Risk Committee that, among other responsibilities, providesprovide oversight of enterprise-wide risk management activities. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the Bank’sThese committees review our activities in identifying, measuring, and mitigating existing and emerging risks (including credit, liquidity, interest-rate, compliance, market, operational, strategic, financial and reputational risks).risks.) The committee monitors management’s execution of risk management practices in accordance with the board of directors’ risk appetite, of the Bank, reviews supervisory examination reports together with management’s response to such examinations and discusses legal matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements or Atlantic Capital’sour compliance policies. With guidance from and oversight by the Audit Committee and the Bank’s Audit and Risk Committee, management continually refines and enhances its risk management policies and procedures to maintain effective risk management programs and processes.

Credit Risk Management

Our independent creditloan review function conducts risk reviews and analyses of loans to help assure compliance with credit policies and to monitor asset quality trends.The risk reviews include portfolio analysis by industry, collateral type and product. Atlantic Capital has implemented policies and procedures designedWe strive to identify potential problem loans as early as possible, to record charge-offs or write-downs as appropriate and to maintain adequate allowances for loan losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk reflectsis the risk that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they come due because of economic loss resulting from adverse changes inan inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding or that we cannot easily unwind or offset specific exposures without significantly lowering market priceprices because of inadequate market depth or market disruptions. Consequently, we closely monitor our cash position, on-balance sheet liquidity and interest rates. This riskavailability of lossoutside funding sources to ensure these are adequate to ensure we can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential net interest income in future periods. Atlantic Capital’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in Atlantic Capital’s lendingmeet all our obligations and deposit-taking activities. The structure of Atlantic Capital’s loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. Atlantic Capital does not maintain a trading account nor is Atlantic Capital subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.

regulatory expectations.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk results principally from assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at different points in time, from assets and liabilities repricing at the same point in time but in different amounts and from short-term and long-term interest rates changing in different magnitudes. Market interest rates also have an impact on the interest rate and repricing characteristics of loans that are originated as well as the rate characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities.

Atlantic Capital assesses

We assess interest rate risk by forecasting net interest income under various interest rate scenarios and comparing those results to forecasted net interest income assuming stable rates. Atlantic Capital’s rate shock simulation, as of September 30, 2017, indicates that, over a 12-month period, net interest income is estimated to increase by 13.74% withWith rates rising, 200-basis points. Thethe estimated increase in net interest income is primarily due to the short-term repricing characteristics of the loan portfolio, combined with a favorable funding mix. Atlantic Capital’sOur loan portfolio consists mainly of approximately half floating rate loans and half fixed rate loans. Atlantic Capital’sOur core client deposits are likely to allow Atlantic Capitalus to lag short term interbank rate indices when pricing deposits. Transaction accounts comprise a significant amount of Atlantic Capital’sour total deposits. See Table 14 for an analysis of the impact on net interest income resulting from various interest rate shock scenarios as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and Table 15 for our MVE profile as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.


55

Compliance Risk

Compliance risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from violations of laws, rules or regulations, or from non-conformity with prescribed practices, internal policies and procedures or ethical standards. This risk exposes us to fines, civil monetary penalties, payment of damages and the voiding of contracts. Compliance risk can result in diminished reputation, reduced enterprise value, limited business opportunities and decreased expansion potential.

A unit within our Enterprise Risk Management division executes an annual compliance monitoring schedule that is risk-based. Our Internal Audit unit also conducts reviews that include compliance. Results of these monitoring and Internal Audit activities are reported to management as well as the Board of Directors. Any issues encountered are tracked to adequate solution and reported. Compliance and other risk management is integrated within our business units as a first line of defense, with compliance monitoring being a second line and Internal Audit being a third line of defense. Our operations are also reviewed by an external accounting firm and are subject to examination by federal banking agencies.

Market Risk

Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse changes in market price and interest rates. This risk of loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential net interest income in future periods. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of our loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. We do not maintain a trading account nor are we subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. It includes legal risk, which is the risk of loss arising from defective transactions, litigation or claims made, or the failure to adequately protect company-owned assets. An operational loss occurs when an event results in a loss or reserve originating from operational risk.

We have developed and employ measures that guide business functions in identifying, measuring, responding to, monitoring and reporting on possible operational losses to the organization. This drives internal risk conversations and enables us to clearly and transparently communicate to external stakeholders the level of potential operational risk we face, both presently and in the future, and our position on managing it to acceptable levels.

Strategic and Reputation Risk

Strategic risk is the risk of financial loss, diminished stakeholder confidence, or negative impact to human capital resulting from ineffective strategy setting and execution, adverse business decisions, or lack of responsiveness to changes in the banking industry and operating environment. We are committed to fulfilling our overall strategic objectives by selecting business strategies and operating businesses in a manner consistent with achieving profitability/earnings growth and maintaining strong confidence and trust with our key stakeholders.

Reputation risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings, capital, enterprise value, our brand, and public confidence arising from negative publicity or public opinion, whether real or perceived, regarding our business practices, products, services, transactions, or other activities undertaken by us, our representatives, or our partners. A negative reputation may impair our relationships with clients, associates, communities or shareholders, and it is often a residual risk that arises when other risks are not managed properly.

We produce and regularly update a strategic plan as a guide to our operations. That plan is presented to and approved by the Board of Directors. Management also produces annual financial plans that are consistent with our strategic objectives. Financial results versus plan are presented to and discussed with the Board of Directors regularly.

56

Customer complaints and legal actions taken against us can be valuable indicators of reputation risk. We track and monitor customer complaints through their resolution and make regular reports to the Board of Directors. We also track legal actions in process against us and report their status regularly to the Board of Directors. Our management of compliance risk, as outlined in the Compliance Risk section above, is also valuable to managing reputation risk.
