The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful grade loans and annually on Pass grade loans over $250,000. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: 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 institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard. Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized as the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans are considered to be "Pass" rated when they are reviewed as part of the previously described process and do not meet the criteria above with the exception of consumer troubled debt restructurings, which are evaluated and listed with Substandard commercial grade loans and consumer nonaccrual loans which are evaluated individually and listed with "Not Rated" loans. Loans listed as Not Rated are consumer loans or commercial loans with consumer characteristics included in groups of homogenous loans which are analyzed for credit quality indicators utilizing delinquency status. The following tables summarize the risk category of loans by loan segment and origination date as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Balances presented are at the amortized cost basis by origination year.

non-working capital commercial and industrial loans. These loans were included in this risk rating category because they are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans: For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and the payments are reasonably assured. The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost basis in past due loans as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 by class of loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing by class of loan: (dollars in thousands) Loans Not Past Due 30-89 Days Past Due Greater than 89 Days Past Due and Accruing Total Accruing Total Nonaccrual Nonaccrual With No Allowance For Credit Loss Total 2024 Commercial and industrial loans: Working capital lines of credit loans $ 603,016 $ 1,082 $ 0 $ 604,098 $ 45,342 $ 594 $ 649,440 Non-working capital loans 792,577 663 3 793,243 7,515 37 800,758 Commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans: Construction and land development loans 565,975 0 0 565,975 0 0 565,975 Owner occupied loans 804,810 0 0 804,810 1,775 318 806,585 Nonowner occupied loans 872,002 0 0 872,002 0 0 872,002 Multi-family loans 344,643 0 0 344,643 0 0 344,643 Agri-business and agricultural loans: Loans secured by farmland 156,543 0 0 156,543 71 0 156,614 Loans for agricultural production 230,895 0 0 230,895 0 0 230,895 Other commercial loans 95,493 0 0 95,493 0 0 95,493 Consumer 1‑4 family mortgage loans: Closed end first mortgage loans 256,486 1,284 26 257,796 1,121 665 258,917 Open end and junior lien loans 215,505 314 0 215,819 318 318 216,137 Residential construction loans 16,722 0 0 16,722 0 0 16,722 Other consumer loans 102,565 927 0 103,492 275 17 103,767 Total $ 5,057,232 $ 4,270 $ 29 $ 5,061,531 $ 56,417 $ 1,949 $ 5,117,948 An insignificant amount of interest income was recognized on nonaccrual loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant year over year changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value. The following tables present the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans by class of loan as of December 31, 2024 and 2023: (dollars in thousands) Real Estate General Other Total 2024 Commercial and industrial loans: Working capital lines of credit loans $ 50 $ 64,023 $ 447 $ 64,520 Non-working capital loans 1,891 6,585 19 8,495 Commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans: Owner occupied loans 318 3,512 0 3,830 Nonowner occupied loans 0 0 0 0 Agri-business and agricultural loans: Loans secured by farmland 0 71 0 71 Consumer 1-4 family mortgage loans: Closed end first mortgage loans 1,121 0 0 1,121 Open end and junior lien loans 318 0 0 318 Other consumer loans 0 0 272 272 Total $ 3,698 $ 74,191 $ 738 $ 78,627 (dollars in thousands) Real Estate General Other Total 2023 Commercial and industrial loans: Working capital lines of credit loans $ 50 $ 2,454 $ 0 $ 2,504 Non-working capital loans 40 8,202 400 8,642 Commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans: Owner occupied loans 595 1,474 1,161 3,230 Nonowner occupied loans 0 0 0 0 Agri-business and agricultural loans: Loans secured by farmland 0 100 0 100 Consumer 1-4 family mortgage loans: Closed end first mortgage loans 559 0 0 559 Open end and junior lien loans 164 0 0 164 Other consumer loans 0 0 112 112 Total $ 1,408 $ 12,230 $ 1,673 $ 15,311 NOTE 4 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY (continued) Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination. The starting point to estimate such credit losses is historical loss information. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses recorded at origination. Occasionally, the Company subsequently modifies loans for borrowers experiencing financial distress by providing the following forms of relief: forgiveness of loan principal, extension of repayment terms, reduction of interest rate or an other than insignificant payment delay. In some instances, the Company provides multiple types of concessions for such modifications. Because the effect of most modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses, no change to the allowance for credit losses is generally recorded for these modifications. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, there were an insignificant amount of modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The following table presents the amortized cost basis at the end of the reporting period of loans that were experiencing financial difficulty and received a modification of terms during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period is also presented below: (dollars in thousands) Interest Rate Reduction Combination Interest Rate Reduction, Term Extension and Payment Delay Combination Principal Forgiveness, Interest Rate Reduction, Term Extension and Payment Delay Total Modifications Total Class of Financing Receivable Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023 Commercial and industrial loans: Working capital lines of credit loans $ 944 $ 0 $ 0 $ 944 0.16 % Non-working capital loans 0 1,912 1,572 3,484 0.43 Total commercial and industrial loans 944 1,912 1,572 4,428 0.31 Total loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty $ 944 $ 1,912 $ 1,572 $ 4,428 0.09 % The Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers included in the previous table at December 31, 2023.

The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. At December 31, 2024, no loans receiving such a modification within the last twelve months were 30 days or greater past due. At December 31, 2024, no loans receiving a modification due to borrower financial difficulty within the last twelve months has experienced a payment default. Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion thereof) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion thereof) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. |
