NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, ~~2017~~2023 include CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, CapStar Bank (the “Bank”, together referred to as the “Company”). Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. On February 5, 2016, CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. acquired all of the Bank’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, preferred stock, common stock options and warrants, and the Bank became the wholly owned subsidiary of CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and ~~footnotes~~notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in the ~~Company’s Annual Report~~2022 Form 10-K.

Certain amounts, previously reported, have been reclassified to state all periods on ~~Form 10-K~~a comparable basis and had no effect on shareholders' equity or net income.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) ("unfunded commitments"). In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and unfunded commitments credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP ("incurred loss"). The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $3.4 million as of January 1, 2023 for the ~~year ended December 31, 2016.~~cumulative adoption effect of adopting ASC 326. The transition adjustment includes a $1.5 million increase in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans inclusive of a $0.2 million reclassification of purchased accounting discounts reclassified to the ACL on loans, a $3.4 million increase in the ACL on unfunded commitments credit exposures, and a $1.3 million increase in deferred tax assets.

~~Initial Public Offering~~The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration ("PCD") that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired ("PCI") and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2023, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $0.2 million of the ACL. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized cost basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2023. As allowed by ASC 326, the Company elected to maintain pools of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30.

Debt Securities

OnDebt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are generally amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to their earliest call date. Gains and losses on sale are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

A debt security is placed on non-accrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become over 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income.

ACL - Available-for-Sale Securities

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluated whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considered the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the ACL are recorded as credit loss expense (or reversal). Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $1.8 million at September ~~21, 2016,~~30, 2023 and is excluded from the ~~Securities~~estimate of credit losses.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ~~Exchange Commission (“SEC”~~ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost, net of the ACL. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable totaled $10.5 million at September 30, 2023 and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued and placed on non-accrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Mortgage loans are charged off at 180 days past due, and commercial loans are charged off to the extent principal or interest is deemed uncollected. Consumer and credit card loans continue to accrue interest until they are charged off no later than 120 days past due unless the loan is in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Purchase Credit Deteriorated ("PCD") ~~declared effective our registration statement~~Loans

The Company has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid. An ACL is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial ACL determined on ~~Form S-1 registering~~a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the ~~shares of our common stock. On September 27, 2016, we completed~~loan's purchase price and ACL becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The differences between the initial ~~public offering~~amortized cost basis and the par value of ~~2,972,750 shares~~the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of ~~our common stock. Of~~ the ~~2,972,750 shares sold, 1,688,049 shares~~loan. Subsequent changes to the ACL are recorded through credit loss expense.

Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company elected to maintain pools of loans that were ~~sold by us~~previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and ~~1,284,701 shares were sold by certain selling shareholders. Of the 1,284,701 shares sold by certain selling shareholders, 731,707 were from preferred shares converted~~will continue to ~~common shares and 79,166~~account for these pools as a unit of account. Loans are only removed from the ~~cashless exercise~~existing pools if they are written off, paid off, or sold. Upon adoption of ~~250,000 common share warrants. We received net proceeds~~ASC 326, the ACL was determined for each pool and added to the pool's carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis. The difference between the unpaid principal balance of ~~approximately $21.9 million~~the pool and the new amortized cost basis is the noncredit premium or discount which will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the pool. Changes to the ACL after adoption are recorded through credit loss expense.

ACL - Loans

The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the ~~offering, after deducting~~loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting ~~discounts~~standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors.

The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and ~~commissions~~measures the ACL for each using a discounted cash flow methodology at the loan level, with loss rates, prepayment assumptions and curtailment assumptions driven by each loan’s collateral type.

Owner occupied commercial real estate - Loans in this category are susceptible to business failure and general economic conditions.

Non owner occupied commercial real estate - Common risks for this loan category are declines in general economic conditions, declines in real estate value, declines in occupancy rates, and lack of suitable alternative use for the property.

Commercial & industrial - Risks to this loan category include the inability to monitor the condition of the collateral, which often consists of inventory, accounts receivable and other non-real estate assets. Equipment and inventory obsolescence can also pose a risk. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt.

Commercial construction - Risks common to commercial construction loans are cost overruns, changes in market demand for property, inadequate long-term financing arrangements and declines in real estate values.

Residential mortgage - Residential mortgage loans are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions, increases in unemployment rates and declining real estate values.

Home equity lines of credit - Risks common to home equity lines of credit are general economic conditions, including an increase in unemployment rates, and declining real estate values that reduce or eliminate the borrower’s home equity.

Residential construction - Residential construction loans are susceptible to the same risks as residential mortgage loans. Changes in market demand for property lead to longer marketing times resulting in higher carrying costs and declining values.

Consumer - Risks common to consumer direct loans include unemployment and changes in local economic conditions as well as the inability to monitor collateral consisting of personal property.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Discounted Cash Flow Method

The Company uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan segments. The Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level and adjusts payment expectations for estimated ~~offering expenses. We did~~prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds and curtailment rates are based on historical internal data. The prepayment speeds additionally use peer data to backfill a complete time series and utilizes a forward-looking third-party prepayment model, which considers current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers.

For all discounted cash flow models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections around unemployment rates from the Federal Open Market Committee to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level net present value of expected cash flows (“NPV”). An ACL is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

Qualitative Factors

The Company uses qualitative factors for model limitations and risk uncertainty as well as for loan segment specific risks that cannot be addressed in the quantitative methods. Any additional qualitative factor reserves needed will be approved by the Allowance Committee quarterly.

Individually Evaluated Assets

Loans that do not ~~receive any proceeds~~share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When the Company has determined that foreclosure on a collateral dependent loan is probable, or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. The Company may, in the alternative, measure the expected credit loss as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the estimated fair value of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of ~~shares by~~ the ~~selling shareholders.~~

~~Use of Estimates~~

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, determination of impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, the valuation of our investment portfolio, deferred tax assets and estimated liabilities. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

~~Tri-Net Fees~~

Tri-Net fees represent a new line of business, implemented in the fourth quarter of 2016, which originates, with the intent to sell, commercial real estate loans to third-party investors. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Realized gains andcollateral, expected credit losses are ~~recognized when legal title~~calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the loan exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan.

Determining the Contractual Term: Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has ~~transferred~~a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a modification will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

ACL - Unfunded commitments

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on unfunded commitments is adjusted through credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The ACL is calculated using the same aggregate reserve rates calculated for the funded portion of loans at the portfolio level applied to the ~~investor and sales proceeds have been received and are reflected in the accompanying statement~~amount of ~~income in Tri-Net fees, net~~commitments expected to fund. The Company has identified pools of ~~related costs such as commission expenses. Loans that have not been sold at period end are classified as~~unfunded commitments which align with loans held for ~~sale~~investment. The ACL on unfunded commitments is recorded on the ~~balance sheet and recorded at the lower~~other liabilities line item of ~~aggregate cost or fair value. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.~~

~~Subsequent Events~~

~~Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, Subsequent Events, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after~~ the balance ~~sheet date but before~~sheet.

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in ASC 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings involving borrowings that are experiencing financial ~~statements~~difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the troubled debt restructuring

recognition and measurement guidance, creditors will evaluate all loan modifications to determine if they result in a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. Losses associated with troubled debt restructurings should be incorporated in a creditor’s estimate of its ACL. Additionally, public business entities are ~~issued.~~required to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for loan financing receivables and net investment in leases. The Company ~~evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2017 through~~has adopted the ~~date~~standard as of January 1, 2023 with little to no impact to its accounting, and has included the ~~issued financial statements.~~additional required disclosures herein.

As noted in the table above, as of September 30, 2017, the Company had unrealized losses of $1.7 million in its investment securities portfolio. The unrealized losses associated with these investment securities are driven by changes in interest rates and are recorded as a component of equity. These investment securities will continue to be monitored as a part of our ongoing impairment analysis. Management evaluates the financial performance of the issuers on a quarterly basis to determine if it is probable that the issuers can make all contractual principal and interest payments. If a shortfall in future cash flows is identified, a credit loss will be deemed to have occurred and will be recognized as a charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security will be established.

Because the Company currently does not intend to sell any investment securities that have an unrealized loss at September 30, 2017, and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell these investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, we do not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.

~~Securities with a carrying value of $127.1 million at September 30, 2017 were pledged to collateralize public deposits, derivative positions and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.~~

At adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, calculated credit losses and, thus, the related ACL on held-to-maturity debt securities were not material due to the high credit quality of the portfolio. As a result, no ACL was recorded on the held-to-maturity portfolio at January 1, 2023. There are no held-to-maturity debt securities as of September 30, 2023.

At December 31, 2022, the Company owned certain securities related to Signature Bank ("Signature") which, following the first quarter failure of Signature, were deemed to have significant credit losses and no probable recovery. As such, a $2.0 million provision for credit loss was recorded with a corresponding ACL in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has performed an assessment of its portfolio in an unrealized loss position and has determined no other credit losses present as of September 30, 2023. See Note 1 for additional details on the adoption of ASC 326 as it relates to the securities portfolio.

At September 30, 2023, there were 314 debt securities available-for-sale that were in an unrealized loss position. The Company does not intend to sell nor believes it will be required to sell securities in an unrealized loss position prior to the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses at September 30, 2023 were primarily attributable to the rising interest rate environment. The majority of the investment portfolio was either government guaranteed or an issuance of a government sponsored entity or highly rated by major credit rating agencies.

As of September 30, 2023, the Signature securities for which an ACL has been recorded are on non-accrual. No other securities are past due or on non-accrual.

The Company recognized no interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (ALL) is assessed at the end of each quarter. The ALL includes a specific component related to loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and a general component related to loans that are segregated into homogenous pools and collectively evaluated for impairment. The ALL factors applied to these pools are an estimate of probable incurred losses based on management’s evaluation of historical net losses from loans with similar characteristics, which are adjusted by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions. The adjustments include consideration of the following: changes in lending policies and procedures, economic conditions, nature and volume of the portfolio, experience of lending management, volume and severity of past due loans, quality of the loan review system, value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, concentrations, and other external factors.17

Risk Ratings

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes all commercial loans ~~and consumer relationships with an outstanding balance greater than $500,000,~~ individually and assigns each loan a risk rating. This analysis is performed ~~on a continual basis~~at origination by the relationship ~~managers~~manager and credit department personnel. On at least an annual basis, an independent party performs a formal credit risk review of a sample of the loan portfolio. Among other things, this review assesses the appropriateness of the loan’s risk rating. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

•

Pass – Loans in this category are considered to have a low probability of default and do not meet the criteria of the risk categories below.

•

Special Mention – A special mention asset possesses deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving of management’s attention. If uncorrected, such weaknesses or deficiencies may expose the Company to an increased risk of loss in the future.

•

Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard.

•

Doubtful – A doubtful asset has all weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The probability of loss is extremely high, but certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset exist, therefore, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans.

~~Loans not falling into the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans. The Company utilizes six loan grades within the pass risk rating.~~18

The following ~~tables present~~table provides the ~~loan balances~~risk category of loans by ~~category as well as risk rating (dollars in thousands):~~

Modifications

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the ACL.

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

The following ~~tables detail~~table represents the loans at September 30, 2023 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, by class and by type of modification. No modifications were made during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The percentage of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the total loans of each class is also presented below.


	Payment Delay		Term Extension		Total Class of Loans
Commercial and industrial	$	5,049	$	320		1.11	%
Total	$	5,049	$	320		0.23	%

The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to the borrowers included in the previous table.

The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Such loans that had been modified in the last 12 months are all current with no loans past due.

The following table presents the financial effect of the loan modifications represented above to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:


	Weighted-Average	Weighted-Average
	Payment	Term
	Delay	Extension
Commercial and industrial	4 mos.	3 mos.
Total	4 mos.	3 mos.

No loans modified during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023 are in payment default.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan is written off. Therefore, the recorded investment of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The following table presents collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, as of September 30, 2023 by class of loan and type of collateral.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company used a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. The changes in loss rates used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses during this period were modeled using both the Company's own historical data and historical data from peer banks and macroeconomic forecast data obtained from a third party vendor, which were then applied to the Company’s recent default experience as a starting point. The decrease in the ACL compared to January 1, 2023 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the loan portfolio, changes in various loan attributes at the instrument level, qualitative factors and an improvement in

economic metrics such as forecasted unemployment. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year, the Company reverted to historical credit loss information on a straight line basis over two years.

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded commitments exposures. The allowance for unfunded commitments credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for credit losses on loans. The ACL for unfunded loan commitments of $3.0 million and $0.3 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet within Other Liabilities.

~~As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all loans classified as nonperforming were deemed to be impaired.~~

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a recorded investment in TDR of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company had no specific allowance for those loans at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 and there were no commitments to lend additional amounts. Loans accounted for as TDR include modifications from original terms such as those due to bankruptcy proceedings, certain modifications of amortization periods or extended suspension of principal payments due to customer financial difficulties. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Bank’s loan policy. Loans accounted for as TDR are individually evaluated for impairment.

The following table presents loans by class modified as TDR that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands). There were no new TDR identified during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017.

~~NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES~~

~~The Company’s effective tax rate for~~ the three ~~and nine~~ months ended September 30, 2017 was 25.5% and 9.1% compared to 33.1% and 32.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences. In addition to other changes, the guidance changes the accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies from generally being recognized in additional paid-in capital to recognition as income tax expense2023 or benefit in the period they occur. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2017. As a result, the Company’s income tax expense was reduced by $144,000 and $310,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2022.

The effective tax rate compared favorably to the statutory federal rate of 34% and Tennessee excise tax rate of 6.5% primarily due to investments in qualified municipal securities, company owned life insurance, state tax credits, net of the effect of certain non-deductible expenses and the recognition of excess tax benefits related to stock compensation.

NOTE 76 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the balance sheet.

The following table sets forth outstanding financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of September 30, ~~2017~~2023 and December 31, ~~2016 (dollars in~~2022 (in thousands):

The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 87 – DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps ~~Designated as Cash Flow Hedges~~

Forward starting interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $20 million and $20 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges of certain liabilities and were determined to be fully effective during all periods presented. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company ~~expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.~~

Pursuant to its interest rate swap agreements, the Company pledged collateral to the counterparties in the form of investment securities with a carrying value of $2.7 million at September 30, 2017. There was no collateral posted from the counterparties to the Company as of September 30, 2017. It is possible that the Company may need to post additional collateral in the future or that the counterparties may be required to post collateral to the Company in the future.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

~~NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED SHARES~~

During 2008, the board of directors of the Bank approved the CapStar Bank 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan was intended to provide incentives to certain officers, employees, and directors to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Bank and to operate and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long‑term growth and profitability of the Bank. Additionally the Plan was intended to encourage stock ownership to align the interests of employees and shareholders and to provide a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining officers, employees, and directors.

Following the formation of CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. in 2016, and in connection with the Share Exchange, the outstanding awards of restricted stock and stock options under the CapStar Bank 2008 Stock Incentive Plan were exchanged for similar awards of restricted stock and stock options issued by CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. under the CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, which the board of directors adopted in 2016. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock-based incentives, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance awards and restricted stock, to employees, directors and service providers that are subject to forfeiture until vesting conditions have been satisfied by the award recipient under the terms of the award. The Plan reserved 1,569,475 shares of stock for issuance of stock incentives. Stock incentives include both restricted share and stock option grants. Total shares issuable under the plan were 169,867 at September 30, 2017.

The Company ~~has recognized stock-based compensation expense, within salaries and employee benefits for employees, and within other non-interest expense for directors,~~enters into various derivative agreements with customers in the ~~consolidated statements~~form of ~~income as follows (dollars~~interest-rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate.

As of September 30, 2017, there was $1.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

~~Stock Options~~

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Option awards generally have a three year vesting period and a ten year contractual term.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatility is based on calculations performed by management using industry data. The Company’s expected dividend yield is 0.00% because the Company has not paid dividends in the past. The expected term of options granted was calculated using the “simplified” method for plain vanilla options as permitted under authoritative literature. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. There were no options granted in 2017.

NOTE 108 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve and the Bank is also subject to the regulatory capital requirements of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that could, in that event, have a material adverse effect on the institutions’ financial statements. The relevant regulations require the Company and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting principles. The capital classifications of the Company and the Bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by their regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Those qualitative judgments could also affect the capital status of the Company and the Bank and the amount of dividends the Company and the Bank may distribute. The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, the Company and the Bank met all regulatory capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

NOTE 1210 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

~~Level 1:~~

~~Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.~~

~~Level 2:~~

Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

~~Level 3:~~

~~Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.~~

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Bank used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded and values debt securities by relying on quoted prices for the specific securities and the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For 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 (Level 3). See below for additional discussion of Level 3 valuation methodologies and significant inputs. The fair values of all securities are determined from third party pricing services without adjustment.

Derivatives-Interest Rate Swaps: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Bank’s derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair values of all interest rate swaps are determined from third party pricing services without adjustment.

~~Impaired~~

Individually Evaluated Loans: The fair value of ~~impaired~~individually evaluated loans, formerly "impaired" under incurred loss methodology, with specific allocations of the ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL is generally based on recent appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans and collateral underlying such loans. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. ~~Impaired~~Individually evaluated loans are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the loan policy.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Appraisals may be adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the collateral. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The Company had no other real estate owned carried at fair value at September 30, ~~2017~~2023 or December 31, ~~2016.~~2022.

Loans Held For Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at either fair value, if elected, or the lower of cost or fair value ~~which is evaluated~~ on a pool-level basis. ~~The fair value of~~Origination fees and costs for loans held for sale recorded at lower of cost or market are capitalized in the basis of the loan and are included in the calculation of realized gains and losses upon sale. Origination fees and costs are recognized in earnings at the time of origination for loans held for sale that are recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2). ~~There were no~~

Derivatives-Mortgage Loan Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Interest rate lock commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale ~~carried~~are recorded at fair value, determined as the amount that would be required to settle each derivative instrument at ~~September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.~~the balance sheet date. The fair value of the interest rate lock commitment is derived from the fair value of related mortgage loans, which is based on observable market data and includes the expected net future cash flows related to servicing of the loans. In estimating the fair value of an interest rate lock commitment, the Company assigns a probability to the interest rate lock commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded (a “pull through” rate). The expected pull through rates are applied to the fair value of the unclosed mortgage pipeline, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. The pull through rate is a statistical analysis of our actual rate lock fallout history to determine the sensitivity of the residential mortgage loan pipeline compared to interest rate changes and other deterministic values. New market prices are applied based on updated loan characteristics and new fallout ratios (i.e., the inverse of the pull through rate) are applied accordingly. Significant increases (decreases) in the pull through rate in isolation result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes to the fair value of interest rate lock commitments are recognized based on interest rate changes, changes in the probability that the commitment will be exercised, and the passage of time.

Derivatives-Mortgage-Backed Securities Forward Sales Commitments: The Company utilizes mortgage-backed securities forward sales commitments to hedge mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments. Mortgage-backed securities forward sales commitments are recorded at fair value based on quoted prices for similar assets in an active market with inputs that are observable, resulting in a Level 2 fair value classification.

~~(c)~~

~~Restricted Equity Securities~~

It is not practical to determine the fair value of restricted securities due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

~~(d)~~

~~Loans, net~~

Loans held for sale include residential mortgage loans, the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, and Tri-Net loans. The fair value of ~~the Bank’s loan portfolio includes a credit risk assumption~~residential mortgage and SBA loans held for sale is measured using an exit price notion. The fair value of Tri-Net loans held for sale is measured using an exit price notion in ~~the determination of~~as much as observable market data is available.

This credit risk assumption~~Tri-Net loans held for sale is ~~intended to approximate the~~estimated using discounted cash flow models.

(d) Loans

The fair value ~~that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction. The Bank’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued~~of loans was measured using a segmented approach. The Bank divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: variable rate loans, impaired loans and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk. For variable‑rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values.an exit price notion. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow models or based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. ~~For~~

(e) Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

(f) Other Assets

Included in other ~~loans,~~assets are bank owned life insurance and certain interest rate swap agreements. The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are ~~estimated using discounted cash flow~~based on independent pricing services that utilize pricing models ~~using current~~with observable market interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The values derived from the discounted cash flow approach for each of the above portfolios are then further discounted to incorporate credit risk. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

~~Bank Owned Life Insurance~~

inputs. For bank owned life insurance, the carrying amount is based on the cash surrender value and is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

~~(f)~~

~~Other Assets~~

Included in other assets are certain interest rate swap agreements and the cash flow hedge relationships. The fair values of interest rate swap agreements and the cash flow hedge relationships are based on independent pricing services that utilize pricing models with observable market inputs.

~~Deposits~~

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

~~(l)~~

~~Limitations~~

(k) Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. 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.

Fair value estimates are based on estimating on and off‑balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, fixed assets are not considered financial instruments and their value has not been incorporated into the fair value estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

On October 26, 2023, Old National Bancorp (NASDAQ: ONB) (“Old National”) and the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement for Old National to acquire CapStar in an all-stock transaction with an aggregate value of approximately $344 million, or $16.64 per share of CapStar common stock, based on Old National’s 30-day volume weighted average closing stock price ending October 25, 2023. Under the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of the Company will receive, in respect of each share of common stock of the Company held by them, 1.155 shares of common stock of ONB. The closing of the transaction is subject to both regulatory and CapStar shareholder approval. Effective October 27, 2023, the Company terminated its share repurchase program previously approved on May 25, 2023, which had authorized the Company to repurchase up to $20 million of shares of common stock through January 31, 2024. The Company had repurchased $3.5 million under the plan through termination date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is a discussion of our financial condition at September 30, ~~2017~~2023 and December 31, ~~2016~~2022 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2023 and ~~2016.~~2022. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements. The following discussion and analysis should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes ~~included elsewhere~~ in Part I - Item 1 of this Report, "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and the risk factors discussed in our 2022 10-K and referenced in Part II, Item 1.A. of this Report and the other reports we have filed with the SEC after we filed our ~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.~~2022 10-K. Annualized results for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year or future periods. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report and the sections entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements except to the extent required by applicable law.

The following discussion and analysis pertains to our historical results on a consolidated basis. However, because we conduct all of our material business operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, CapStar Bank, the following discussion and analysis relates to activities primarily conducted at the subsidiary level.

All dollar amounts in the tables in this section are in thousands of dollars, except share or per share data or when otherwise specifically noted.

~~We completed the first nine months~~The third quarter of ~~2017 with net income of $1.4 million, a 77.2% decrease~~2023 resulted in net income from the comparable period of 2016. The decrease in our net income was primarily due to a higher provision for loan losses, resulting from $12.4 million of charged-off loans recognized during the first nine months of 2017. The decrease in our net income was partially offset by higher net interest income resulting from continued loan growth. Fully$0.43 diluted net income per share of common stock, an increase of 16.2% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Annualized return on average assets was 1.10% for the ~~first~~third quarter of 2023 compared to 1.01% for the same period in 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, diluted net income per share of ~~2017~~common stock was ~~$0.11,~~$1.09, a decrease of 16.2% compared ~~with $0.58~~to the same period in 2022. Annualized return on average assets was 0.97% for the ~~first~~ nine months ~~of 2016. Average loans~~ended September 30, 2023 compared to 1.22% for the ~~first nine months of 2017 were $998.2 million, a 14.5% increase over the comparable~~same period ~~of 2016. Average~~in 2022.

At September 30, 2023, loans held for investment decreased to $2.29 billion, as compared to $2.31 billion at December 31, 2022. Total deposits ~~for the first nine months of 2017 were $1.12~~increased to $2.80 billion ~~a 2.9% increase over the comparable period of 2016.~~at September 30, 2023 from $2.68 billion at December 31, 2022.

~~The Company’s~~Our primary revenue sources are net interest income and fees from various financial services provided to customers. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities. Loan volume and interest rates earned on those loans are critical to ~~our~~ overall profitability. Similarly, deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits directly impact ~~our~~ profitability. Business volumes are influenced by competition, new business acquisition efforts and economic factors including market interest rates, business spending and consumer confidence.

Net interest income ~~increased $3.1~~decreased $5.2 million, or ~~10.8%~~20.3%, for the ~~first nine~~three months ~~of 2017,~~ended September 30, 2023, compared ~~with~~to the same period in ~~2016. The positive effects of increased volume~~2022 and ~~yields on earning assets were partially offset by~~decreased $5.0 million or 7.0% for the ~~negative effect of increasing deposit costs.~~nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Net interest margin ~~increased~~decreased to ~~3.18%~~2.71% for the ~~first nine~~three months ~~of 2017,~~ended September 30, 2023, compared with ~~3.17%~~3.50% for the same period of ~~2016.~~

~~In response~~2022 and decreased to ~~an assessment of risk in~~3.0% for the ~~loan portfolio, including net loan growth and charge-offs, we recorded a $12.9 million provision for loan losses in the first~~ nine months ~~of 2017, compared with a $2.8 million provision in the first nine months of 2016. The provision~~ended September 30, 2023 from 3.29% for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for the inherent losses on outstanding loans.

~~Total non-interest income for the first nine months of 2017 was comparable with~~ the same period in ~~2016,~~2022. The decrease in net interest margin was attributable to the rising rate environment over the last 12 months as deposits repriced more quickly than loans.

The three months ended September 30, 2023 yielded a $1.6 million recovery of credit loss expense compared to $0.9 million provision for credit loss expense for the comparable period of 2022 and ~~comprised 18%~~an expense of ~~total revenues.~~

~~Total non-interest~~$0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2022. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 largely reflects the $2.0 million provision expense related to the Signature Bank ("Signature") subordinated debt in available-for-sale debt securities in the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2017~~2023 offset by the $1.6 million recovery in the third quarter driven by a decrease in loan volume as well as an improvement in unemployment rates which influence the CECL model.

Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 2023 increased ~~$0.6~~$3.0 million, or ~~2.4%~~91.9%, compared with the same period in ~~2016. Our efficiency ratio in~~2022, and comprised 24% of total revenues. Noninterest income for the ~~first~~ nine months ~~of 2017 was 63.4%~~ended September 30, 2023 increased $0.5 million or 2.9% when compared to ~~67.2% in~~ the same period in ~~2016.~~

~~Our effective tax rate decreased~~2022 and comprised 22% of revenues. The increase of the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus the same period in 2022 is primarily attributable to ~~9.1%~~Tri-Net losses in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase for the ~~first~~ nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the same period in 2022 is primarily attributable to an increase in SBA lending revenue offset by a decline in mortgage banking income.

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $0.9 million, or 4.8%, compared to the same period in 2022 and increased $2.6 million or 4.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. For both periods, salaries and benefits expense increased as well as data processing and software, professional service, and regulatory expenses. The third quarter of ~~2017 from 32.7%~~2022 included a wire fraud loss and operational loss totaling $2.2 million. A recovery of the wire fraud loss was realized in the third quarter of 2023 in the amount of $0.5 million. Our efficiency ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 64.07% compared to 62.21% for the same period in ~~2016. The decrease~~2022 and 65.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 59.01% for the same period in ~~the effective tax rate is largely the result~~2022.

Common equity tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, summarized in Note 8 of the effectiveness of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which, among other things, amended existing guidance for the accounting of excess tax benefits from stock compensation.

~~Tangible common equity (TCE), a non-GAAP measure,~~consolidated financial statements, is a useful measure ~~of a company's capital which is useful~~ in evaluating the quality and adequacy of capital. ~~The~~Our consolidated ratio of ~~tangible~~ common equity tier 1 capital to ~~total tangible~~risk weighted assets was ~~9.7%~~

13.38% as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, compared with ~~9.3%~~12.61% at December 31, ~~2016.~~ ~~See “Management’s Discussion~~2022.

On October 26, 2023, Old National and ~~Analysis~~the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement for Old National to acquire CapStar in an all-stock transaction with an aggregate value of ~~Financial Condition~~approximately $344 million, or $16.64 per share of CapStar common stock, based on Old National’s 30-day volume weighted average closing stock price ending October 25, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of the Company will receive, in respect of each share of common stock of the Company held by them, 1.155 shares of common stock of ONB. The closing of the transaction is subject to both regulatory and ~~Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for details on reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.~~CapStar shareholder approval.

The following sections provide more details on subjects presented in this overview.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Our accounting and reporting estimates are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Estimates that are susceptible to significant changes include accounting for the allowance for credit losses and fair value measurements, both of which require significant judgments by management. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Also, different assumptions in the application of these accounting estimates could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Except as described below, there have been no significant changes to critical accounting estimates as discussed in the MD&A in our 2022 10-K.

Since the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023, the ACL represents management’s estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of financial instruments, with particular applicability on our balance sheet to loans and unfunded loan commitments. Estimating the amount of the ACL requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to historical experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the value of collateral on collateral-dependent loans. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on our consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.

There are many factors affecting the ACL; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and is susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods.

Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements includes additional information on accounting policies related to the ACL.

We recorded net income of $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.3 million, or 109.5%, from net income of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2016. Basic net income per share of common stock was $0.39 and $0.24 for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Fully diluted net income per share of common stock was $0.35 and $0.20 for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. We recorded a negative $0.2 million provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $1.6 million for the same period of 2016.

Annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average shareholders’ equity were ~~1.28%~~1.10% and ~~12.38%~~10.18%, respectively, for the third quarter of ~~2017,~~2023, compared with ~~0.65%~~1.01% and ~~7.15%~~8.76%, respectively, for the same period in ~~2016.~~2022.

Our net income of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 represented a $4.8 million, or 77.2%, decrease from net income of $6.2 million for the comparable 2016 period. Basic net income per share was $0.13 for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of 82.3% from the $0.71 for the first nine months of 2016. Net income per share on a diluted basis was $0.11 for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of 80.9% from the $0.58 for the first nine months of 2016. We recorded a $12.9 million provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2017, compared with $2.8 million in the same period of 2016.

Annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average ~~stockholders’~~shareholders’ equity were ~~0.14%~~0.97% and ~~1.33%~~8.85%, respectively, for the ~~first~~ nine months ~~of 2017,~~ended September 30, 2023, compared with ~~0.66%~~1.22% and ~~7.25%~~10.41%, respectively, for the same period in ~~2016.~~2022.

The largest component of our net income is net interest income – the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds used to support our assets. Net interest income divided by total average interest-earning assets represents our net interest margin. The major factors that affect net interest income and net interest margin are changes in volumes, the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Our margin can also be affected by economic conditions, the competitive environment, loan demand and deposit flow. Our ability to respond to changes in these factors by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability of the net interest margin and our net interest income.

The following tables set forth the amount of our average balances, interest income or interest expense for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the average interest rate for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

The net interest margin was 2.71% and 3.50% for the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, ~~2017 and 2016:~~

~~Our~~ net interest margin ~~was 3.26% and 3.23%~~of 3.00% compared to 3.29% for the ~~third~~same period in 2022. The decrease in net interest margin for both periods was primarily due to the rising rate environment over the past 12 months as deposits repriced more quickly than loans.

The increase in market interest rates over the past year, with the federal funds rate rising to 5.50% as of September 30, 2023 versus 3.25% as of September 30, 2022, contributed to a decline in average non-interest bearing deposits and interest bearing transaction accounts, as shown in the tables above, offset by an increase in time deposits.

Average non-interest bearing deposits represented 15.1% of total deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to 25.0% for the quarter ending September 30, 2022, offset by an increase in higher cost time deposits. Similarly, average non-interest bearing deposits represented 16.8% of ~~2017~~total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 26.4% for the same period of 2022. Deposit costs increased across all interest-bearing account types.

Prior to January 1, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was based on the then-applicable incurred loss model and ~~2016, respectively.~~represented an estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded commitments at the end of each reporting period. Since the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023, the allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of life of loan credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments and debt securities. The allowance for unfunded commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, represents expected losses on unfunded loan commitments that are expected to result in outstanding loan balances. Management’s estimate of credit losses under CECL is determined using a model that relies on reasonable and supportable forecasts and historical loss information to determine the balance of the ACL and resulting provision for credit losses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there was a recovery of expense of $1.6 million compared to an expense of $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2023, there was a provision expense of $0.9 million, which included a $2.0 million provision expense on the Signature subordinated debt in available-for-sale debt securities, compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2022.

The recovery of credit losses on loans was $1.0 million and ~~2016, our net interest margin~~$0.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to provisions of $0.9 million for the comparable periods in 2022. Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $350 thousand and $699 thousand, respectively, compared to $120 thousand and $193 thousand for the three and nine comparable periods of 2022, respectively. Our ACL on loans at September 30, 2023 was ~~3.18% and 3.17%, respectively.~~1.05% of total loans held for investment compared to 1.03% as of December 31, 2022. The ~~increase in net interest margin for both periods is primarily due to growth~~recovery of ~~our interest earning assets at a higher pace than our interest bearing liabilities.~~

~~For~~provision during the third quarter of ~~2017 and 2016, average loan yields increased from 4.36% to 4.55% which was primarily~~2023 is largely driven by a decrease in loan volume as well as an improvement in economic metrics such as forecasted unemployment rates.

A recovery of provision of $0.5 million and $0.7 million related to unfunded commitments was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to the decrease in unfunded balances, changes in their composition, and other qualitative factors. The related ACL as a percentage of unfunded commitments decreased to 0.39% as of September 30, 2023 compared to 0.44% as of CECL adoption on January 1, 2023.

The $2.0 million provision on available-for-sale securities related to expected credit losses on the Signature subordinated debt following its first quarter 2023 failure. A corresponding ACL is recorded on the balance sheet in available-for-sale debt securities. Should such expected credit losses have been experienced under the incurred loss model prior to our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023, they would have been recorded in other noninterest expense as other than temporary impairment with no corresponding allowance on the balance sheet.

See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — Note 3 — Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans” and Note 2 — "Securities" for additional information on our allowance for credit losses.

In addition to net interest income, we generate recurring noninterest income. Our banking operations generate revenue from service charges on deposit accounts, interchange and debit card transaction fees, originating and selling mortgage, commercial real estate and SBA loans, wealth management and gains (losses) on sales of securities. In addition to these types of recurring noninterest income, we own insurance on several key employees and record income within "Other noninterest income" based upon the increase in the cash surrender value of these policies.

The following table sets forth the principal components of noninterest income for the periods indicated.

Deposit service charges increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. These amounts originate from our commercial and consumer deposit accounts.

Interchange and debit card transaction fees fluctuate based upon transaction volumes, which were lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Mortgage banking income consists of fees and gains from the origination of loans in our markets that are subsequently sold to third-party investors. Generally, mortgage banking income increases in ~~short-term~~lower interest rate ~~indexes affecting~~environments and more robust housing markets and declines in rising interest rate environments and more challenging housing markets. Mortgage banking income will fluctuate from period to period as the ~~variable~~ rate ~~portion~~environment changes. The declines above are indicative of ~~our~~the mortgage market responding to the higher rate environment.

Tri-Net represents a line of business which generally originates and sells commercial real estate loans to third-party investors. All of these loan ~~portfolio,~~sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Tri-Net activity remained limited in 2023 as the Company assessed market pricing. Comparatively, in the second and third quarters of 2022, the Company transferred a cumulative $131.1 million of Tri-Net loans from loans held for sale to loans held for investment due to the adverse impact of rapidly rising interest rates on pricing and investor demand. This resulted in a $1.3 million realized loss on sale of loans and a $2.2 million unrealized loss on loans transferred to held for investment, partially offset by ~~competitive pricing pressures. From~~a $1.6 million gain on its hedge instruments in the three months ended September 30, ~~2016 to September 30, 2017, the LIBOR – 1 month interest rate increased from 0.53% to 1.23%. Approximately 65% of our loan portfolio is variable in nature and indexed to 1 month LIBOR.~~2022. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2022, Tri-Net results included a $1.3 million realized loss on sale of loans and ~~2016, average loan yields~~a $2.4 million unrealized loss on loans transferred to held for investment, partially offset by a $1.6 million gain on its hedge instruments.

Noninterest income for SBA lending, which represents gains on sales of guaranteed portions of SBA loans, increased ~~from 4.33% to 4.36%. Average loans~~ for the ~~first~~ nine ~~months of 2017 increased 14.5%~~month period ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2016~~2022 as the Company expanded the SBA team in the fourth quarter of 2022. Income for the three month periods remained relatively stable.

Other noninterest income primarily consists of loan related fees, bank-owned life insurance, and other service-related fees. The three months ended September 30, 2023 had increased servicing income and Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) income when compared to the same period in 2022 as well as a ~~result~~$0.4 million death benefit income from bank-owned life insurance. When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the same period in 2022, servicing income and SBIC income are increased while death benefit income from bank-owned life insurance decreased $0.5 million when compared to 2022.

The following table presents the primary components of ~~our continued focus on attracting new clients~~noninterest expense for the periods indicated.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to ~~our Company.~~

~~For~~the same periods in 2022. This is partially due to the $0.8 million voluntary executive incentive reversals in the third quarter of ~~2017~~2022 following two operational loss incidents. At September 30, 2023, our associate base decreased to 366 compared to 387 at September 30, 2022.

Regulatory fees expenses increased for the three and ~~2016, average security yields~~nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 as the FDIC increased ~~from 2.10% to 2.40%~~assessment rates in the current year.

Other operating noninterest expenses in 2022 include the $2.2 million aforementioned operation loss incidents which were recorded in the third quarter of 2022. Comparatively, $0.5 million of this loss was recovered in the third quarter of 2023.

Our efficiency ratio was 64.07% and ~~from 2.17% to 2.41%~~62.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 65.11% and 59.01% for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2023 and ~~2017,~~2022, respectively, ~~primarily due to increases~~with the increase being driven by the aforementioned noninterest expense factors combined with a decline in ~~the LIBOR rate on the variable rate portion of our securities portfolio. The resulting yield on average interest-earning assets increased 28 basis points~~total revenue for the ~~third quarter of 2017~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the ~~similar~~same periods of 2022. The efficiency ratio is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income and measures the amount of expense that is incurred to generate a dollar of revenue.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three month period ~~in 2016~~ended September 30, 2023 remained relatively stable at 19.9% compared to 19.8% for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 and ~~16 basis points~~decreased slightly from 19.7% to 19.3% for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2023 compared to the ~~similar~~same period ~~of 2016.~~in 2022.

~~We funded our growth in loans through an increase in our funding sources of 9.0%~~The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2023 compared favorably versus the statutory tax rate due to our investments in qualified municipal securities, tax benefits from our real estate investment trust, company owned life insurance, state tax credits, net of the effect of certain non-deductible expenses and the recognition of excess tax benefits related to stock compensation.

Total assets increased $147.4 million, or 4.7%, from $3.12 billion on December 31, 2022 to $3.26 billion on September 30, 2023. Loans held for investment declined $20.6 million, or 0.9% when compared to ~~the similar period in 2016. For the first nine months of 2017, average interest-bearing~~December 31, 2022. Loans held for sale decreased $8.3 million, or 18.6%, when compared to December 31, 2022.

Total liabilities increased ~~$61.8~~$155.9 million, or ~~6.6%~~5.6%, from ~~the same period in 2016.~~ $2.76 billion on December 31, 2022 to $2.92 billion on September 30, 2023. Deposits increased $116.9 million, or 4.4%.

The ~~average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.95% for the first nine months~~composition of ~~2017, as compared to 0.73% for the same period in 2016. A portion of the increase was due to increases in the Fed Funds rate during the period. The Fed Funds rate increased from 0.50%~~loans at September 30, ~~2016~~2023 and December 31, 2022 and the percentage of each classification to ~~1.25%~~total loans are summarized as follows:

Our principal market for lending is the State of Tennessee and adjacent states that can be effectively accessed from our banking offices. Our target borrower profile includes consumers, small to medium sized businesses, professional firms, real estate investors and developers, and their owners and managers. Our growth since 2018 has been concentrated in borrowers meeting that profile. Our primary competition is community, regional, and national banks operating in our primary markets. In seeking customer banking relationships, we rely on a model of delivering services through a qualified banker meeting all the banking service needs of the business and its primary stakeholders.

At September 30, 2023, our loan portfolio composition remained relatively consistent versus December 31, 2022. Our loan growth since inception has been reflective of the target market that we serve with commercial real estate loans making up 47% of the portfolio. The repayment of owner-occupied properties is largely dependent on the operations of the tenant, while non-owner occupied properties is dependent upon the operation, refinance, or sale of the underlying real estate.

Information summarizing non-performing assets, including non-accrual loans follows:

Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 0.28% at September 30, ~~2017. We passed along~~2023 compared to 0.46% at December 31, 2022 as two large relationships returned to accrual status based on positive financial performance and timely payments.

The composition of securities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows:

Our investment securities had a ~~portion~~fair value of ~~these rate increases~~$354.0 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $397.7 million at December 31, 2023. The Company recorded a provision for credit loss on available-for-sale securities and a corresponding ACL of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2023 related to ownership in Signature subordinated debt securities which, following

Signature's first quarter failure, were deemed to have significant credit losses and no probable recovery. The Company has performed an assessment of its corporate debt securities which is largely made up of other financial institution investment grade subordinated debt based on various factors including liquidity and soundness of the underlying financial institution and credit rating and no other such credit losses are expected to be present in the Company's portfolio as of September 30, 2023.

The composition of deposits at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the percentage of each classification to total deposits are summarized as follows:

Deposits have increased $116.9 million or, 17.3% when annualized, to $2.80 billion as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. This increase is driven by our ~~clients.~~interest-bearing transaction accounts and time deposit accounts and partially offset by decreases in our non-interest bearing and savings and money market accounts.

Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to mitigate effects of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity while attempting to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity needs, ~~market opportunities~~ and customer requirements.

We use earnings at risk, or EAR, simulations to assess the impact of changing rates on earnings under a variety of scenarios and time horizons. The simulation model is designed to reflect the dynamics of interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments. These simulations utilize both instantaneous and parallel changes in the level of interest rates, as well as non-parallel changes such as changing slopes and twists of the yield curve. Static simulation models are based on current exposures and assume a constant balance sheet with no ~~new~~ growth. ~~Dynamic simulation models are also utilized that rely on detailed assumptions regarding changes in existing lines of business, new business, and changes in management and client behavior.~~ By estimating the effects of interest rate increases and decreases, the model can reveal approximate interest rate risk exposure. The simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a specific change in interest rates at a given point in time. The model is therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios and does not indicate actual expected results.

At September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, our EAR static simulation results indicated that our ~~balance sheet~~net interest income over the next year is ~~asset sensitive~~estimated to ~~parallel shifts in~~benefit modestly from further rate increases while being adversely impacted by falling interest rates. This indicates that our assets generally reprice faster than our liabilities, which results in a favorable impact to net interest income when market interest rates ~~increase.~~increase and an unfavorable impact to net interest income when market interest rates decline. Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our net interest income, such as asset prepayments, non-maturity deposit price sensitivity, ~~and decay rates,~~ and key rate drivers. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the model, our actual results may, and most likely will, differ from our static EAR results. In addition, static EAR results do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or client behavior. For example, as part of our asset/liability management

strategy, management has the ability to increase asset duration and/or decrease liability duration in order to reduce asset sensitivity, or to decrease asset duration and/or increase liability duration in order to increase asset sensitivity.

The following table illustrates the results of our EAR analysis ~~to determine~~regarding the extent to which our net interest income over the next 12 months would change if prevailing interest rates increased or decreased immediately by the specified amounts.

Our policy is to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is a charge to earnings, is decreased by charge-offs and increased by loan recoveries. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.45% and 1.24% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The provision for loan losses amounted to $(0.2) million and $12.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Provision expense is impacted by the absolute level of loans, loan growth, the credit quality of the loan portfolio and the amount of net charge-offs.

Provision expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to increased charge-offs. Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $12.4 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2016. These increases were caused primarily by deterioration in the credit quality of commercial and industrial loans to one borrower. In particular, during the second quarter of 2017 we charged-off the loans associated with this borrower because issues emerged which undermined our assessment that an expedient and positive outcome was possible. This particular charge-off amounted to $11.0 million in the aggregate. These loans experienced weakness due to the borrower’s declining financial condition, which led to falling values of the collateral securing these loans. Our primary collateral for these loans are the enterprise value of the borrower as determined by an Asset Purchase Agreement that was subsequently withdrawn. As the financial condition of the borrower deteriorated, ultimate repayment became increasingly difficult. We determined that timely repayment of these loans was unlikely and charged-off the loans. As a result, our provision expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the similar period in 2016.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.24% at December 31, 2016 to 1.45% at September 30, 2017. This increase was largely due to our assessment of risk inherent in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio generally related to macro-economic, geo-political conditions and, in particular, uncertainty in the healthcare industry. In addition, during the third quarter of 2017, we increased the look-back period, from which we calculate peer bank historical loss experience, from seven years to eight years. Our look-back period is utilized to calculate peer historical loss experience, adjusted for current factors, to comprise the general component of the allowance for loan losses. In the current economic environment, management believes the extension of the look-back period is necessary in order to capture sufficient loss observations to develop a reliable loss estimate of credit losses. The extension of the historical look-back period to capture the historical loss experience of peer banks was applied to all classes and segments of our loan portfolio. During the third quarter of 2017, we recovered approximately $1.86 million of the previous second quarter charge-off related to the non-performing borrower referenced in the previous paragraph, which reduced our need to take additional provision expense.

Based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb our estimate of probable losses existing in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017. While our policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, as well as the resultant provision for loan losses charged to operations, are considered adequate by management, they are necessarily approximate and imprecise. There are factors beyond our control, such as conditions in the local and national economy, legislation and regulation, local real estate markets, or particular industry or borrower-specific conditions, which may materially negatively impact our asset quality and the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and, thus, the resulting provision for loan losses. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — Note 3 — Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information on our allowance for loan losses.

In addition to net interest income, we generate other types of recurring noninterest income from our lines of business. Our banking operations generate revenue from service charges and fees on deposit accounts. We have a mortgage banking line of business that generates revenue from originating and selling mortgages, a line of business that originates and sells commercial real estate loans, and we have a revenue-sharing relationship with a registered broker-dealer, which generates wealth management fees. In addition to these types of recurring noninterest income, we own insurance on several key employees and record income on the increase in the cash surrender value of these policies.

~~The following table sets forth the principal components of noninterest income for the periods indicated.~~

The increase in treasury management and other deposit service charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 are primarily related to increased analysis fees due to an increase in the volume of commercial accounts.

~~Loan commitment fees vary from period to period based on the timing of one-time, transaction related loan fees.~~

Tri-Net fees represent a new line of business, implemented in the fourth quarter of 2016, which originates and sells commercial real estate loans to third-party investors. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer.

Mortgage banking income consists of mortgage fee income from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. These mortgage fees are for loans that we originated and that are subsequently sold to third-party investors. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Mortgage origination fees will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as the rate environment changes. Mortgage banking income decreased 13.2% and 13.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the similar periods in 2016 due to declining volumes and margins on mortgage loans sold.

Our total noninterest expense increase reflects expenses that we have incurred as we build the foundation to support our recent growth and enable us to execute our growth strategy. The following table presents the primary components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated.

The largest increase between periods within noninterest expense was related to a new lease of our corporate headquarters which we moved into in the first quarter of 2017. This new lease resulted in an increase in occupancy expense of 51.0% and 34.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits was flat and declined 1.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the similar periods in 2016 primarily due to reduced incentive compensation for the 2017 periods.

Data processing and software expense increased during the periods presented due to an increase in the volume of transactions and implementation of new software in our mortgage banking line of business.

~~Professional fees expense decreased during the periods presented primarily due to fees associated with going public in 2016 and our change in external audit firms for 2017.~~

~~The increases in equipment expense for each period presented is related to the increasing cost of managing our IT network.~~

~~Regulatory fees expense increased primarily due to changes in the FDIC’s assessment methodology.~~

Other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 decreased 28.8% from the similar 2016 period primarily due to decreased contingent consideration expenses associated with our mortgage line of business. As mortgage origination volumes differ from our original estimates the resulting difference in contingent consideration is recorded in other noninterest expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the similar period in 2016, the lower contingent consideration expense was offset by increased expenses related to one non-performing borrower, resulting in a 2.3% decrease of other operating expenses.

Our efficiency ratio (ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) was 59.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 64.0% for the same period 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our efficiency ratio was 63.4% and 67.2%, respectively. The efficiency ratio measures the amount of expense that is incurred to generate a dollar of revenue. The efficiency ratio for both periods was positively impacted by growth in our net interest income that outpaced increases in our expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) grew at rate of approximately 3.6 times our noninterest expense.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects an effective income tax rate of 9.1% compared to 32.7% for the same period in 2016. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate by our investments in municipal securities, company owned life insurance, state tax credits, net of the effect of certain non-deductible expenses and the recognition of excess tax benefits related to stock compensation. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences. In addition to other changes, the guidance changes the accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies from generally being recognized in additional paid-in capital to recognition as income tax expense or benefit in the period they occur. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2017. As a result, the Company’s income tax expense was reduced by $310,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Total assets increased $4.9 million, or 0.4%, from $1.33 billion on December 31, 2016 to $1.34 billion on September 30, 2017. Loans and leases grew $39.3 million, or 4.2%, in the first nine months of 2017, offset by a decrease in cash of $10.3 million, or 12.9% for the same period. Securities decreased $35.8 million, or 19.6% as we sold out of lower yielding securities to fund loan growth. Loans held for sale increased $11.1 million, or 26.4%, during the first nine months of 2017 as we implemented a new line of business related to originating and selling commercial real estate loans.

Total liabilities were $1.19 billion on December 31, 2016 and on September 30, 2017. Deposits decreased $37.2 million, or 3.3%, due primarily to decreases in our correspondent banking deposits. We increased our Federal Home Loan Bank advances $40.0 million during the first nine months of 2017 to help fund our loan growth and declining deposits. Other liabilities decreased $3.0 million, or 28.3%, largely due to the scheduled payout of incentives and the earn-out related contingent liability.

~~The composition of loans and leases at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the percentage of each classification to total loans are summarized as follows:~~

At September 30, 2017, our loan portfolio composition remained relatively consistent with the composition at December 31, 2016. The commercial real estate category includes owner-occupied commercial real estate loans which is similar in many ways to our commercial and industrial lending in that these loans are generally made to businesses on the basis of the cash flows of the business rather than on the valuation of the real estate. At September 30, 2017, approximately 28.1% of the outstanding principal balance of our commercial real estate loans was secured by owner-occupied properties. Growth in the commercial real estate segment reflects the growth and development of the Nashville MSA in which we operate.

~~Information summarizing non-performing assets, including non-accrual loans follows:~~

~~The following table sets forth the major classifications of non-accrual loans:~~

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. ~~To manage liquidity risk, management~~Management has established a comprehensive ~~management~~ process for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk. Because of its critical importance to the viability of the Bank, liquidity risk management is fully integrated into our risk management processes. Critical elements of our liquidity risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of oversight by the board of directors and active involvement by management; appropriate strategies, policies, procedures, and limits used to manage and mitigate liquidity risk; comprehensive liquidity risk measurement and monitoring systems (including assessments of the current and prospective cash flows or sources and uses of funds) that are commensurate with the complexity and business activities of the Bank; active management of intraday liquidity and collateral; an appropriately diverse mix of ~~existing and potential future~~ funding sources; adequate levels of highly liquid marketable securities free of legal, regulatory, or operational impediments, that can be used to meet liquidity needs in stressful situations; comprehensive contingency funding plans that sufficiently address potential adverse liquidity events and emergency cash flow requirements; and internal controls and internal audit processes sufficient to determine the adequacy of the institution’s liquidity risk management process.

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time ~~optimizing financial results within our corporate guidelines.~~maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, investment securities available-for-sale, various lines of credit, ~~available to us,~~ and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally deposits.

Overall liquidity sources total $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2023. Our most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, available-for-sale marketable investment securities and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions totaled $322.1 million at September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $216.5 million from December 31, 2022. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio was ~~$146.6~~$354.0 million at September 30, ~~2017.~~2023, a decrease of $42.4 million from December 31, 2022. We pledge portions of our investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, derivative positions and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, total investment securities pledged for these purposes comprised ~~65%~~53% of the estimated fair value of the ~~entire~~ investment portfolio, leaving ~~$68.5~~$167.2 million of unpledged securities. Other sources of funds available to meet daily needs include $424.6 million of borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Cincinnati, $302.2 million of borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s discount window and federal funds lines with correspondent banks totaling $115.0 million at September 30, 2023. We also have the ability to issue an additional $218.0 million of brokered CDs based on internal limits and $62.6 million of additional funding capacity through the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program.

The Company has a diversified deposit portfolio comprised 88% of customer deposits and 12% of brokered deposits. Correspondent Banking customers account for 11.3% of customer deposits. As of September 30, 2023 66.7% of deposits were insured or collateralized.

We have a large base of non-maturity customer deposits, defined as demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts. At September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, such deposits totaled ~~$892.2 million~~$2.0 billion and represented ~~82%~~approximately 71% of our total deposits. ~~Because these deposits are less volatile and are often tied to other products through long lasting relationships they do not put heavy pressure on liquidity.~~

Other sources of funds available to meet daily needs include FHLB advances. As a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the Company has access to credit products offered by the FHLB. The Company views these borrowings as a low cost alternative to other time deposits. At September 30, 2017, available credit from the FHLB totaled $108.0 million. Additionally, we had available federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks totaling $110.0 million at September 30, 2017.

The principal source of cash for CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank. At September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, the Bank was able to pay up to ~~$19.2~~$98.6 million in dividends to the Parent Company without regulatory approval subject to the ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.

Accordingly, management currently believes that our funding sources are at sufficient levels to satisfy our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

At September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, shareholders’ equity ~~totaled $144.2~~decreased to $345.6 million ~~an increase of $5.0 million since~~compared to December 31 ~~2016. Accordingly, as~~2022 balance of $354.2 million. The decrease was due to other comprehensive loss, share repurchases, dividend payments, and the impact of the CECL adoption on January 1, 2023, offset by net income. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2023, the Company and the Bank were well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. ~~See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further detail of the changes in equity since the end of 2016.~~

In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheet. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our clients. 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 our consolidated balance sheets. Most of these commitments mature within two years and are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Standby letters of credit are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that the Company and the Bank are required to hold.

We enter into contractual loan commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of our commitments to extend credit are contingent upon clients maintaining specific credit standards until the time of loan funding.

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

We minimize our exposure to loss under loan commitments and standby letters of credit by subjecting them to the same credit approval and monitoring procedures as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. We assess the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establish a liability for ~~probable~~expected credit losses. The effect on our revenue, expenses, cash flows and liquidity of the unused portions of these commitments cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will be used.

Our off-balance sheet arrangements are summarized in Note 76 of the consolidated financial statements.

This Report includes the following financial measures that have been prepared other than in accordance with ~~generally accepted accounting principles in the United States~~U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP financial measures”): tangible book value per share; tangible book value per share of common ~~equity,~~stock less after-tax unrealized available for sale investment losses; tangible common equity to ~~total~~ tangible assets and tangible common ~~equity per share.~~equity; to tangible assets less after-tax unrealized available for sale investment losses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures (i) provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, (ii) enable a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business, and (iii) allow investors to evaluate the Company’s performance in a manner similar to management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts and bank regulators; however, the Company acknowledges that its non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.

The following table presents a reconciliation of ~~tangible common equity, tangible common equity to total tangible assets and tangible common equity per share~~the non-GAAP measures referenced above to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The ASU was originally effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which delays the effective date. The effective date will be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within that year. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adoption of ASU 2014-09.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance in the form of a FASB ASU, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain optional practical expedients available. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which outlines changes to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in place with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is expected to have a significant impact on the Bank’s operations and financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB amended the Goodwill and Other Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The amendment removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The effective date and transition requirements for the technical corrections will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

In May 2017, the FASB amended the requirements in the Compensation—Stock Compensation Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification related to changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments will be effective for the Company for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

~~ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities~~

In August 2017, the FASB amended the requirements of the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.

There have been no material changes in our market risk as of September 30, 2023 from that presented in our 2022 10-K. Information ~~required by this item~~about our interest rate sensitivity is included in ~~Item 2, “Management’s~~“Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity ~~Analysis.”~~Analysis” of this Report and incorporated herein by this reference.

The Company, with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in ~~Rules~~Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) ~~and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)~~) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Report.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In the ordinary course of business, the Holding Company and the Bank are parties to ~~time,~~various legal proceedings. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, the Holding Company ~~is party to legal actions that~~and the Bank are routine and incidental to its business. Given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to the Company’s business, including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws, the Company, like all banking organizations, is subject to ~~heightened legal~~regulatory examinations and ~~regulatory compliance~~investigations. Based on our current knowledge and ~~litigation risk. There are currently no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or the Bank is a party or~~advice of ~~which any of their property is the subject.~~

~~In evaluating an investment~~counsel, in the ~~Company’s securities, investors should consider carefully, among other things,~~opinion of management there is no such pending or threatened legal matter which would result in a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

For information ~~under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report as well as those~~regarding factors that ~~are detailed from time to time~~could affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors disclosed in the ~~Company’s periodic and current reports filed with the SEC, including those factors included in the Company’s~~"Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2022.

As a result of the Company entering into the merger agreement with Old National, certain additional risk factors have been identified:

If the merger is not completed for any reason, there may be various adverse consequences and the Company may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from its customers and employees. For example, the Company’s business may have been impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger. Additionally, if the merger agreement is terminated, the market price of the Company common stock could decline to the extent that current market prices reflect a market assumption that the merger will be beneficial and will be completed. The Company also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to proceedings commenced against the Company to perform its obligations under the ~~headings “Item 1A. Risk Factors”~~merger agreement. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $11.25 million to Old National.

Additionally, the Company has incurred and ~~“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”~~will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of preparing, filing, printing, and mailing the proxy statement/prospectus, and all filing and other fees paid in connection with the merger. If the merger is not completed, the Company would have to pay these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger.

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected, or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on the combined company following the merger.

Before the merger and the subsequent merger of CapStar Bank and Old National Bank may be completed, various approvals, consents and non-objections must be obtained from certain authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In determining whether to grant these approvals, such regulatory authorities consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each party. These approvals could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to an adverse development in either party’s regulatory standing or in any other factors considered by regulators when granting such approvals; governmental, political or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition; or changes in legislation or the political environment generally.

The approvals that are granted may impose terms and conditions, limitations, obligations or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business or require changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose any such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of the combined company following the merger or otherwise reducing the anticipated benefits of the merger if the merger were consummated successfully within the expected timeframe. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the merger. Additionally, the completion of the merger is conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions or decrees by any court or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction that would prohibit or make illegal the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

In addition, despite the parties’ commitments to using their reasonable best efforts to comply with conditions imposed by regulators, under the terms of the merger agreement, neither Old National nor the Company is required to take any action, or agree to any

condition or restriction that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Old National and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the merger (measured on a scale relative to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

The Company will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on the Company. These uncertainties may impair the Company’s ~~Quarterly Reports~~ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with the Company to seek to change existing business relationships with the Company. In addition, due to certain restrictions in the merger agreement on the conduct of business prior to completing the merger, we may be unable, during the pendency of the merger to pursue certain actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial, and we may have to forgo certain opportunities we might otherwise pursue.

Shareholder litigation related to the merger could prevent or delay the completion of the merger, result in the payment of damages or otherwise negatively impact the business and operations of the Company.

Shareholders may bring claims in connection with the proposed merger and among other remedies, may seek damages or an injunction preventing the merger from closing. If any plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the Company from completing the merger or any other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, then such injunction may delay or prevent the effectiveness of the merger and could result in costs to the Company, including costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any shareholder lawsuits filed in connection with the merger. Further, such lawsuits and the defense or settlement of any such lawsuits may have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed.

The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include (1) receipt of Company shareholder approval, (2) the admission for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange of the shares of Old National common stock to be issued in the merger, (3) receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, (4) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form ~~10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.~~

~~There have been no material changes from~~S-4 for the ~~risk factors previously disclosed~~Old National common stock to be issued in the merger, and (5) the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing or making illegal the completion of the merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Each party’s obligation to complete the merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (1) relating to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (2) performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the merger agreement, (3) absence of a material adverse effect on the other party and (4) receipt by such party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Additionally, Old National’s obligation to close is subject to the Company’s ~~Annual Report on Form 10-K~~adjusted tangible shareholder’s equity as of the month-end prior to five business days before the closing date exceeding a specified minimum value.

These conditions to the closing may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the merger may not be completed. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the merger agreement at any time, before or after the requisite shareholder and shareholder approvals, or Old National or the Company may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances.

Because the market price of Old National common stock may fluctuate, the Company shareholders cannot be certain of the market value of the merger consideration they will receive.

In the merger, each share of Company common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, will be converted into 1.155 shares of Old National common stock. This exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the ~~year ended December 31, 2016.~~market price of either Old National common stock or the Company common stock. Changes in the price of Old National common stock between now and the time of the merger will affect the value that the Company shareholders will receive in the merger. Neither Old National nor the Company is permitted to terminate the merger agreement as a result of any increase or decrease in the market price of Old National common stock or the Company common stock.

Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in Old National’s and the Company’s businesses, operations and prospects, the volatility in the prices of securities in global financial markets, including market prices of Old National, the Company and other banking companies, the effects of regulatory considerations and tax laws, many of which are beyond Old National’s and the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company shareholders will not know the market value of the consideration that they will receive until the effective time.

The following table shows information relating to the repurchase of shares of common stock by the Company during the three months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2023.

~~On September 27, 2016, the Company sold 1,688,049 shares of its common stock, including 387,750 shares purchased by the underwriters pursuant~~Item 5. Other Information

Reference is made to the ~~full exercise of their purchase option, in its initial public offering (“IPO”). In addition, certain selling shareholders participated in~~Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the ~~IPO~~Securities and ~~sold an aggregate of 1,284,701 shares of the Company’s common stock.~~

The shares were sold at a public offering price of $15.00 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $44.6 million. The aggregate offering price for the shares sold by the Company was approximately $25.3 million, and after deducting approximately $1.6 million for the underwriting discount and approximately $1.7 million of offering expenses paid to third parties, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $21.9 million. The aggregate offering price for the shares sold by the selling shareholders was approximately $19.3 million.

~~All of the shares were sold pursuant to our Registration Statement~~Exchange Commission on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-213367), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 21, 2016. The offering did not terminate until all of the shares offered were sold. The Company made no payments to its directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of its common stock or to their associates, or to its affiliatesMarch 10, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on April 19, 2023. On page 37 of the Proxy Statement, under the heading “Executive Compensation – Option Exercises and Stock Vested,” the Company disclosed information concerning the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) for Named Executive Officers (NEOs) during the year ended December 31, 2022. The information in the Proxy Statement was based on an estimate made at the time of issuance of the Proxy Statement of performance being achieved at 116.27% of target. That performance metric has now been determined to be at 120% of target rather than 116.27% of target – as a result, we are updating that information - therefore, the Option Exercises and ~~sale~~Stock Vested section of the Proxy Statement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The following table contains information concerning the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, for the NEOs.

(2) In the Proxy Statement, this column included 2020 PSUs based upon achievement of 116.27% of target based on performance on the relative operational metrics (as of September 30, 2022) and RTSR (as of December 31, 2022). This column now includes updated information that reflects finalized performance metrics of 120% of target.

(3) Calculated by multiplying the close price of the common ~~stock. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. acted as lead book-running managers for the IPO. Our common~~ stock ~~is currently trading~~ on the ~~NASDAQ~~Nasdaq Global Select Market ~~under~~on the ~~symbol “CSTR.”~~

~~There has been no material change in~~date of vesting by the ~~planned use~~number shares of ~~proceeds~~RSUs acquired upon vesting. For Messrs. Schools and Tietz, the amount reported is the aggregate shares vesting from ~~our IPO as described in our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 23, 2016 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act. Pending application~~multiple grants of RSUs. The value of the ~~IPO proceeds, we have invested~~2020 PSUs is calculated by multiplying the ~~net proceeds~~close price of the common stock on the

Nasdaq Global Select Stock on August 8, 2023, by the number of shares acquired on vesting using the performance on the applicable metrics referenced in ~~short-term investments.~~footnote #2 to this table.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
