These loans were made on substantially the same basis, including interest rates and collateral as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other borrowers at the same time. None of these loans were past due, in nonaccrual status, or restructured at December 31, 2023. Following is a summary of the activity for these related-party loans: (In thousands) 2023 Balance at January 1 $ 5,950 New loans (1) 344 Repayments (1) 987 Balance at December 31 $ 5,307 ———————————————— (1) Includes one additional loan and the removal of one loan due to changes in executive management and directors. One of the factors used to monitor the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is to analyze the age of the loans receivable as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due.

CECL requires estimated credit losses on loans to be determined based on an expected life of loan model, as compared to an incurred loss model, which was in effect for periods prior to 2023. Accordingly, ACL disclosures subsequent to January 1, 2023 are not always comparable to prior periods. In addition, certain new disclosures required under CECL are not applicable to prior periods. As a result, the tables in this disclosure present separately for each period, where appropriate. Under CECL, loans individually evaluated consist of nonaccrual loans. Under the incurred loss model in effect prior to the adoption of CECL, loans evaluated individually for impairment were referred to as impaired loans. The following table presents nonaccrual loans: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 (In thousands) With a Related Allowance Without a Related Allowance Total Total Commercial real estate $ 315 $ 1,164 $ 1,479 $ 1,873 Residential mortgage — 343 343 — Commercial and industrial 1,004 — 1,004 781 Home equity lines of credit — 185 185 — $ 1,319 $ 1,692 $ 3,011 $ 2,654 No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with individually evaluated loans. If interest on all nonaccrual loans had been accrued at original contract rates, interest income would have increased by $302 thousand in 2023 and $410 thousand in 2022. One accruing TDR was included in the table above as of December 31, 2022. That loan was moved to performing status during 2023 due to its loan repayment history . Total nonperforming loans at December 31 are as follows: (In thousands) 2023 2022 Nonaccrual loans $ 3,011 $ 2,654 Greater than 90 days past due and still accruing 1,162 1,203 Total nonperforming loans $ 4,173 $ 3,857 Loan Modifications On January 1, 2023, the Corporation adopted the accounting guidance in ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the recognition and measurement of TDRs. Due to the removal of the TDR designation, the Corporation evaluates all loan restructurings according to the accounting guidance for loan modifications to determine if the restructuring results in a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that result in a direct change in the timing or amount of contractual cash flows include situations where there is principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions, and combinations of the above. Therefore, the disclosures related to loan restructurings are only for modifications that directly affect cash flows. Loans modified as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: (In thousands) Term Extension % of Total Class of Financing Receivable Commercial and industrial $ 549 0.4 % As of December 31, 2023, the Corporation had no commitments to lend any additional funds on modified loans. There were no loans that defaulted during the period that had been modified preceding the payment default when the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty at the time of modification. For purposes of this disclosure, a default occurs when, within 12 months of the original modification, either a full or partial charge-off occurs or the loan becomes 90 days or more past due. Collateral-Dependent Loans A loan is considered to be collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. For all classes of loans deemed collateral-dependent, the Corporation elected the practical expedient to estimate expected credit losses based on the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell. In most cases, the Corporation records a partial charge-off to reduce the collateral-dependent loan’s carrying value to the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell. Substantially all of the collateral supporting collateral-dependent loans consists of various types of real estate, including residential properties, commercial properties, such as retail centers, office buildings, and lodging, agriculture land, and vacant land. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of individually evaluated loans as of December 31, 2023. Changes in the fair value of the collateral for individually evaluated loans are reported as provision for credit losses or a reversal of provision for credit losses in the period of change. December 31, 2023 Type of Collateral (In thousands) Business Assets Real Estate Commercial real estate $ — $ 1,479 Residential mortgage — 343 Commercial and industrial 1,004 — Home equity lines of credit — 185 Total $ 1,004 $ 2,007 Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, totaled $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses The Corporation maintains an ACL at a level determined to be adequate to absorb expected credit losses associated with the Corporation’s financial instruments over the life of those instruments as of the balance sheet date. The Corporation’s systematic ACL methodology is based on the following portfolio segments: commercial real estate, residential mortgage, commercial and industrial, home equity lines of credit, real estate construction and consumer. The Corporation’s loan portfolio is segmented by loan types that have similar risk characteristics, type of collateral and behave similarly during economic cycles. The segmentation in the CECL model is different from the segmentation in the incurred loss model, however there was minimal impact on the presentation of the financial statement disclosures. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for discussion of the key risks by portfolio segment that management assesses in preparing the ACL. The Bank considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the ACL. The Bank does not assign internal risk ratings to smaller balance, homogeneous loans such as certain residential mortgage, home equity lines of credit, construction loans to individuals secured by residential real estate and consumer loans. For these loans, the Bank evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and designates as performing and nonperforming. The following summarizes designated internal risk categories by portfolio segment for loans that the Bank assigns a risk rating and those that Bank evaluates based on the performance status: December 31, 2023 Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Revolving Loans Amortized Cost Basis (In thousands) 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Prior Total Internally Risk Rated: Commercial real estate Pass $ 136,158 $ 152,767 $ 130,994 $ 60,918 $ 65,856 $ 287,026 $ 13,636 $ 847,355 Special Mention 1,927 6,385 5,920 1,904 8,222 16,244 1,994 42,596 Substandard — — — 1,530 704 6,524 — 8,758 Total Commercial real estate $ 138,085 $ 159,152 $ 136,914 $ 64,352 $ 74,782 $ 309,794 $ 15,630 $ 898,709 Residential mortgage Pass $ 39,146 $ 27,612 $ 41,031 $ 14,758 $ 10,492 $ 27,274 $ 402 $ 160,715 Special Mention 588 82 593 397 826 2,457 62 5,005 Substandard — — — — — 218 — 218 Total Residential Mortgage $ 39,734 $ 27,694 $ 41,624 $ 15,155 $ 11,318 $ 29,949 $ 464 $ 165,938 Commercial and industrial Pass $ 12,319 $ 24,259 $ 34,830 $ 15,614 $ 13,922 $ 17,780 $ 25,147 $ 143,871 Special Mention 128 303 290 529 140 459 2,014 3,863 Substandard 7 135 499 91 9 1,597 2,272 4,610 Total Commercial and industrial $ 12,454 $ 24,697 $ 35,619 $ 16,234 $ 14,071 $ 19,836 $ 29,433 $ 152,344 Year-to-date gross charge-offs $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 110 $ — $ 110 Real estate construction Pass $ 19,766 $ 39,758 $ 3,953 $ 1,160 $ — $ 2,604 $ 8,003 $ 75,244 Special Mention — 465 — 92 — 725 — 1,282 Substandard — — — — — 69 — 69 Total Real estate construction $ 19,766 $ 40,223 $ 3,953 $ 1,252 $ — $ 3,398 $ 8,003 $ 76,595 Home equity lines of credit Pass $ 300 $ 99 $ — $ — $ — $ 131 $ 5,235 $ 5,765 Special Mention — — — — — — 727 727 Substandard — — — — — 362 — 362 Total Home equity lines of credit $ 300 $ 99 $ — $ — $ — $ 493 $ 5,962 $ 6,854 Performance Rated: Residential mortgage Performing $ 33,884 $ 45,221 $ 14,878 $ 16,184 $ 9,059 $ 108,021 $ 156 $ 227,403 Nonperforming — — — — — 848 — 848 Total Residential Mortgage $ 33,884 $ 45,221 $ 14,878 $ 16,184 $ 9,059 $ 108,869 $ 156 $ 228,251 Home equity lines of credit Performing $ 23 $ 38 $ — $ 13 $ 94 $ 4,742 $ 77,745 $ 82,655 Nonperforming — — — — — 92 562 654 Total Home equity lines of credit $ 23 $ 38 $ — $ 13 $ 94 $ 4,834 $ 78,307 $ 83,309 Consumer Performing $ 2,351 $ 2,685 $ 778 $ 522 $ 271 $ 1,085 $ 2,259 $ 9,951 Nonperforming — — — — — — 3 3 Total Consumer $ 2,351 $ 2,685 $ 778 $ 522 $ 271 $ 1,085 $ 2,262 $ 9,954 Year-to-date gross charge-offs $ 48 $ 83 $ 42 $ 55 $ 23 $ 78 $ 67 $ 396 Real estate construction Performing $ 5,571 $ 753 $ 175 $ 210 $ 170 $ 867 $ — $ 7,746 Total Real estate construction $ 5,571 $ 753 $ 175 $ 210 $ 170 $ 867 $ — $ 7,746 Total Portfolio loans Pass $ 207,689 $ 244,495 $ 210,808 $ 92,450 $ 90,270 $ 334,815 $ 52,423 $ 1,232,950 Special Mention 2,643 7,235 6,803 2,922 9,188 19,885 4,797 53,473 Substandard 7 135 499 1,621 713 8,770 2,272 14,017 Performing 41,829 48,697 15,831 16,929 9,594 114,715 80,160 327,755 Nonperforming — — — — — 940 565 1,505 Total Portfolio loans $ 252,168 $ 300,562 $ 233,941 $ 113,922 $ 109,765 $ 479,125 $ 140,217 $ 1,629,700 Year-to-date gross charge-offs $ 48 $ 83 $ 42 $ 55 $ 23 $ 188 $ 67 $ 506 The information presented in the preceding table is not required to be disclosed for periods prior to the adoption of CECL.
