The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass : Loans classified as Pass are well protected by the paying capacity and net worth of the borrower. Special Mention : Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Substandard : Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the collection or the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful : Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

This was resolved via sale of collateral during the current quarter. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and, therefore, is classified as non-accruing. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had collateral dependent loans with an amortized cost balance as follows: commercial real estate - investor of $7.1 million and $15.2 million, respectively, commercial real estate - owner occupied of $3.7 million and $352,000, respectively, and commercial and industrial of $122,000 and $304,000, respectively. In addition, the Company had collateral dependent residential and consumer loans with an amortized cost balance of $5.9 million and $2.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. Since adoption, the Company has modified and may modify in the future certain loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications may include a reduction in interest rate, an extension in term, principal forgiveness and/or other than insignificant payment delay. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount, and the allowance for credit losses is subsequently adjusted by an amount equal to the total loss rate as applied to the reduced amortized cost basis. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, loans with modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $23.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively. There were no outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to such borrowers with loan modifications as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The following table presents loans modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands): Term Extension Interest Rate Reduction Combination of Term Extension and Interest Rate Reduction Other Than Insignificant Payment Delay Total % of Total by Loan Portfolio Segment For the three months ended September 30, 2024 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — — % For the three months ended September 30, 2023 Residential real estate $ 65 $ — $ — $ — $ 65 — % Other consumer — — 170 — 170 0.07 $ 65 $ — $ 170 $ — $ 235 — % For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 Commercial real estate – investor $ — $ 4,878 $ 7,000 $ — $ 11,878 0.23 % Commercial real estate – owner occupied — — — 2,994 2,994 0.36 Residential real estate 129 — — — 129 — Other consumer — — 148 — 148 0.06 $ 129 $ 4,878 $ 7,148 $ 2,994 $ 15,149 0.15 % For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 Residential real estate $ 723 $ — $ — $ — $ 723 0.02 % Other consumer 240 — 170 — 410 0.16 $ 963 $ — $ 170 $ — $ 1,133 0.01 % The modifications during the periods presented had an insignificant financial effect on the Company.
