This is because this table does not include impaired loans that were previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring, are currently performing and are no longer disclosed or classified as TDR’s since they were restructured at market terms. Since April 2020, we have restructured $278.1 million of loans under the CARES Act and H.R. 133 guidelines. As of September 30, 2021, all of these loans have returned to making principal and/or interest payments. We believe that these actions have assisted these borrowers in getting through these difficult times, but no guarantees can be made that at some time in the future these loans will not be required to be accounted for as a TDR. For borrowers who were 30 days or more past due when enrolling in a loan modification program related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated the loan modifications under our existing TDR framework, and where such a loan modification would have resulted in a more than insignificant concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the loan was accounted for as a TDR and would generally not accrue interest. See “Note 2 – Risks and Uncertainties” for additional information on the CARES Act and H.R. 133, and the impact of COVID-19 on the Company. At September 30, 2021, there were no formal foreclosure proceedings in process for consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties.
