policies

The

and

reporting

policies

Popular,

“Corporation”) conform

accounting

principles generally accepted

in the

United States of

industry.

description of the significant accounting and

financial reporting policies can be found on Note 2

to the 2022 Form 10-K.

In connection with the implementation of the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, the Corporation has modified its policy

related to

loan modifications.

As discussed

in Note

3, the

new accounting

guidance eliminates

the recognition

and measurement

principle of

TDRs.

The Corporation

has

also made

changes to

certain of

its

accounting policies

related to

its

loans portfolio

and

allowance for credit losses in connection with

this accounting standards update.

modification is

subject to

disclosure under

the new

ASU when

the Corporation

separately concludes

that both

of the

following

conditions exist:

1) the

debtor is experiencing

financial difficulties 2)

the modification constitutes

a reduction

in the

interest rate

the loan, a payment extension, a forgiveness of principal, or a more-than-insignificant payment delay. Determination that a borrower

is experiencing

financial difficulties

involves a

degree of

judgment. The identification

of loan

modifications to

debtors with

financial

difficulties is critical in the determination of the adequacy

of the ACL.

The

ASU

also

eliminates

the

requirement to

use

DCF

approach

estimated

credit

losses

for

modified

loans

with

borrowers

experiencing financial difficulties. The

entity can apply

a methodology similar to

the one used for

loans that were not

modified. The

Corporation applied a modified retrospective transition method for the implementation of ASU 2022-02 which

resulted in a reduction

of approximately $

million, $

million net of tax, in the reserve which was recorded as an

adjustment to the beginning balance of

retained earnings.

loan modified

with financial

difficulties is

typically in

non-accrual status

at the

time of

the modification.

These loans

continue in

non-accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated a willingness

and ability to make the restructured loan payments (at least

six

months of sustained performance after the modification (or one year for loans providing for quarterly or semi-annual payments)) and

management has concluded that it is probable

that the borrower would not be in payment

default in the foreseeable

future.

Statements

Corporation’s determination of the ACL.

Refer below for changes in accounting policies due

to the adoption of the new ASU and other

policy adoptions:

recorded,

net

taxes,

accumulated

other

comprehensive

income/(loss)

and

subsequently

reclassified to net

income (loss) in

the same

period that the

hedged transaction impacted

earnings. As a

result of this

change, the

changes in the fair

value of these forward contracts

are being recorded through net

income (loss). The Corporation utilizes

forward

contracts to hedge the

sale of mortgage-backed securities with

duration terms over one month.

Interest rate forwards are contracts

for the delayed delivery of securities, which the seller agrees to deliver on a specified future

date at a specified price or yield. These

forward contracts are hedging a forecasted transaction

and thus qualify for cash flow hedge accounting.

Note 5 - Restrictions on cash and due from

banks and certain securities

BPPR is

required by

regulatory agencies

to maintain

average reserve

balances with

the Federal

Reserve Bank

of New

(the

“Fed”) or other banks.

Those required average reserve balances amounted

to $

2.8

billion at March 31, 2023

(December 31, 2022 -

2.8

(December

As of March 31, 2023, the portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities reflects gross unrealized losses of approximately $

1.5

billion,

driven mainly by fixed-rate U.S. Treasury Securities and

mortgage-backed securities, which have been impacted by a decline in fair

value as a result of the rising interest rate

environment.

The portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities is comprised mainly of U.S

Treasuries and obligations from the U.S. Government, its agencies or government sponsored entities, including FNMA, FHMLC and

GNMA. As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022

Form 10-K, these securities carry an explicit or

implicit guarantee from the U.S. Government, are highly rated

by major rating agencies, and have a long history

of no credit losses.

Accordingly, the Corporation applies a zero-credit loss assumption and no ACL for

these securities has been established.

In October 2022, the

Corporation transferred U.S. Treasury securities

with a fair value

of $

6.5

billion (par value of

7.4

billion) from

its available-for-sale portfolio to its held-to-maturity portfolio.

Management changed its intent, given its ability to hold these securities

to maturity

due to

the Corporation’s

liquidity position

and its

intention to

reduce the

impact on

accumulated other

comprehensive

income (loss) (“AOCI”) and

tangible capital of further

increases in interest rates.

The securities were reclassified

at fair value at

the

time of

the transfer.

At the

date of

the transfer,

these securities

had pre-tax

unrealized losses of

873.0

million recorded

in AOCI.

This fair value discount is being accreted to interest income and the unrealized loss remaining in AOCI is being amortized, offsetting

each other through the remaining life of the securities.

There were no realized gains or losses recorded

as a result of this transfer.

Credit Quality Indicators

The following describes the credit quality

indicators by major security type that

the Corporation considers in its’ estimate

to develop

the allowance for credit losses for investment securities

held-to-maturity.

As discussed in

Accordingly, the Corporation applies a zero-credit loss assumption and no ACL for

Purchased Credit Deteriorated (PCD) Loans

The Corporation has purchased loans during

the quarter for which there was, at acquisition, evidence

of more than insignificant

deterioration of credit quality since origination. The

carrying amount of those loans is as follows:

Note 9 – Allowance for credit losses – loans

held-in-portfolio

The

Corporation follows

the current

expected credit

loss (“CECL”)

model, to

establish and

evaluate the

adequacy of

the ACL

provide for

expected losses

in the

loan portfolio.

This model

establishes a forward-looking

methodology that

reflects the

expected

credit losses over the lives of financial assets, starting when such

assets are first acquired or originated. In addition, CECL provides

that the initial ACL on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial

assets be recorded as an increase to the

purchase price, with

subsequent

changes

the

allowance

recorded

credit

loss

expense.

The

provision

for

credit

losses

recorded

current

operations

based

this

methodology.

Loan

losses

are

charged

and

recoveries

are

credited

the

ACL.

The

Corporation’s

modeling framework includes competing

risk models that

generate lifetime default and

prepayment estimates as well

as other loan

level techniques to estimate loss severity.

These models combine credit risk factors, which include the

impact of loan modifications,

with macroeconomic expectations to derive the

lifetime expected loss.

At March

31, 2023, the

Corporation estimated the

ACL by

weighting the outputs

of optimistic, baseline,

and pessimistic scenarios.

Among the

three scenarios used

to estimate

the ACL, the

baseline is

assigned the highest

probability,

followed by the

pessimistic

scenario given the

uncertainties in the

economic outlook and

downside risk. The

weightings applied are subject

to evaluation on

quarterly basis as

part of the

ACL’s governance

process. The Corporation evaluates,

at least on

an annual basis, the

assumptions

tied to the CECL accounting framework. These

include the reasonable and supportable period

as well as the reversion window.

The

2023

annualized

GDP

growth

the

baseline

scenario

stands

2.1%

and

1.3%

for

Puerto

Rico

and

the

United

States,

respectively,

increasing from

1.3% and

0.7% in

the previous

quarter. The

2023 forecasted

average unemployment

rate continues

strong, improving quarter-over-quarter to

6.9% and 3.5%

for Puerto Rico

and the United

States, respectively,

from 7.8% and

4.0%

respectively, in the previous forecast.

The following

tables present

the changes

in the

ACL of

loans held-in-portfolio

and unfunded

commitments for

the quarters

ended

March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Legacy TDR Modifications

A modification of

a loan, prior

to ASU 2022-02,

constituted a troubled

debt restructuring (TDR)

when a borrower

was experiencing

financial difficulty

and the

modification constituted

a concession.

For a

summary of

the legacy

accounting policy

related to

TDRs,

refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

included in Note 2 to the 2022 Form 10-K.

The outstanding

balance of

loans classified

as TDRs

amounted to

1.6

billion at

December 31,

2022. The

amount of

outstanding

commitments to

lend additional

funds to

debtors owing

loans whose

terms have

been modified

in TDRs

amounted to

million

related to the commercial loan portfolio at December 31,

2022.

analysis process

performed at

least

once a

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Corporation retained servicing rights on whole loan sales involving approximately $

million in principal

balance outstanding (March 31,

2022 - $

million), with net

realized gains of approximately

0.2

million (March

31, 2022 -

gains of $

0.2

million). All loan

sales performed during the

quarters ended March 31,

2023 and 2022

were without credit

recourse agreements.

The Corporation recognizes as assets the rights to service loans for others,

whether these rights are purchased or result from asset

transfers such as sales and securitizations. These mortgage

servicing rights (“MSRs”) are measured at fair

value.

The

Corporation

uses

discounted

cash

flow

model

estimate

the

fair

value

MSRs.

The

discounted

cash

flow

model

incorporates

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

estimating

future

net

servicing

income,

including

estimates

prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, prepayment and late

fees, among other considerations. Prepayment speeds are

adjusted for the loans’ characteristics and portfolio behavior.

The following

table presents

the changes

in MSRs

measured using

for the

March 31,

and 2022.

million).

Residential mortgage loans serviced for others were

10.9

billion at March 31, 2023 (December 31,

2022 - $

11.1

billion).

Net mortgage servicing fees, a component of mortgage banking activities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, include the

changes from period to period in the fair value of the MSRs, including changes due to collection / realization of expected cash flows.

The banking

subsidiaries receive servicing

fees based

on a

percentage of the

outstanding loan balance.

These servicing fees

are

credited

income

when

they

are

collected.

March

31,

2023,

those

weighted

average

mortgage

servicing

fees

were

0.31

(March 31, 2022 -

0.31

%). Under these servicing agreements, the banking subsidiaries do not generally earn significant prepayment

penalty fees on the underlying loans serviced.

The section

below includes

information on

assumptions used

in the

valuation model

of the

MSRs, originated

and purchased.

Key

economic assumptions used

in measuring the

servicing rights derived

from loans securitized

or sold by

the Corporation during

the

quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were

The sensitivity analyses presented in the table above for servicing rights are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the

figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10 and 20 percent variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated

because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the sensitivity tables

included herein, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without

changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market

interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

March

the

Corporation

serviced

0.6

billion

residential

mortgage

loans

with

credit

recourse

the

Corporation

(December 31, 2022 - $

0.6

billion). Also refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on changes in the

Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans

serviced with credit recourse.

Under the GNMA

securitizations, the Corporation, as

servicer, has

the right to

repurchase (but not the

obligation), at its

option and

without

GNMA’s

prior

authorization,

any

loan

that

collateral

for

GNMA

guaranteed

mortgage-backed

security

when

certain

delinquency

criteria

are

met.

the

time

that

individual

loans

meet

GNMA’s

specified

delinquency

criteria

and

are

eligible

for

repurchase, the Corporation is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans if the Corporation was the pool issuer. At

March 31,

2023, the Corporation had

recorded $

million in

mortgage loans on

its Consolidated Statements

of Financial Condition

this

buy-back

option

program

(December

31,

2022

million).

Loans

our

serviced

GNMA

portfolio

benefit from

payment forbearance programs

but continue to

reflect the contractual

delinquency until the

borrower repays deferred

payments or

completes a payment deferral modification or other borrower assistance alternative. As long as the Corporation continues to service

the

loans

that

continue

collateral

GNMA

guaranteed

mortgage-backed

security,

the

MSR

recognized

the

Corporation.

During the quarter ended March 31,

2023, the Corporation repurchased approximately $

million (March 31, 2022 -

million) of

mortgage

loans

from

its

GNMA

servicing

portfolio.

The

determination

repurchase

these

loans

was

based

the

economic

benefits of the

transaction, which results in

a reduction of

the servicing costs

for these severely

delinquent loans, mainly

related to

principal and interest advances. The risk associated with

the loans is reduced due to their

guaranteed nature. The Corporation may

place these loans under modification programs offered by FHA, VA or United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)

or other loss

mitigation programs offered by the Corporation,

and once brought back to current status, these may be either retained in portfolio or

re-sold in the secondary market.

At March 31, 2023, the Corporation had brokered

The aggregate amount of overdrafts in demand

deposit accounts that were reclassified to loans was

5.4

million at March 31, 2023

(December 31, 2022 - $

6.3

million).

At March

31, 2023,

Puerto Rico

public sector

deposits amounted

15.5

billion. Puerto

Rico public

sector deposits

are interest

bearing

accounts.

Public

deposit

balances

are

difficult

predict.

For

example,

the

receipt

the

Puerto

Rico

Government

hurricane recovery related Federal assistance and seasonal

tax collections could increase public deposit balances at BPPR.

On the

other hand,

the amount and

timing of

reductions in balances

are likely to

be impacted by,

for example, the

speed at

which federal

assistance is

distributed,

the financial

condition, liquidity

and cash

management practices

of the

Puerto Rico

Government and

its

instrumentalities

and

the

plans

approved

pursuant

PROMESA

other

actions

mandated

the

Fiscal

Oversight

and

Management

Board

for

Puerto

Rico

(the

“Oversight

Board”).

Generally,

these

deposits

require

that

the

bank

pledge

high

credit

quality

securities

collateral, therefore,

liquidity

risk

arising from

public sector

deposit

outflows are lower.

Corporation had FHLB

borrowing facilities whereby

the Corporation could

borrow

up to

3.4

billion and $

0.3

billion and $

0.4

billion, respectively, of the available FHLB credit

facility as collateral for

municipal letters of credit

to secure deposits. The

FHLB borrowing facilities are

collateralized with

securities

and loans held-in-portfolio, and do not have restrictive

covenants or callable features.

Also, at March 31,

2023, the Corporation has a

borrowing facility at the discount

Note 20 – Guarantees

March

31,

2023

the

Corporation

had

liability

0.2

million

(December

31,

2022

0.3

million),

which

represents

the

unamortized balance of the obligations

undertaken in issuing the

guarantees under the standby letters

of credit. Management does

not anticipate any material losses related to these

instruments.

From time to time, the Corporation securitized mortgage loans into guaranteed mortgage-backed securities subject to limited, and in

certain instances, lifetime credit

recourse on the loans

that serve as

collateral for the

mortgage-backed securities. The Corporation

has not

sold any

mortgage loans

subject to

credit recourse

since 2009.

At March

31, 2023,

the Corporation

serviced $

0.6

billion

(December 31,

2022 -

0.6

billion) in residential

mortgage loans

subject to

credit recourse

provisions, principally loans

associated

with FNMA

and FHLMC

residential mortgage

loan securitization

programs. In

the event

of any

customer default,

pursuant to

the

(December 31, 2022 - $

When the

Corporation sells or

securitizes mortgage loans,

it generally makes

customary representations and

warranties regarding

the characteristics of the loans

sold. To

the extent the loans do

not meet specified characteristics, the Corporation may

be required

repurchase such

loans

indemnify for

losses

and

bear

any

subsequent

loss

loans.

During

the

quarter

ended

March 31,

2023, the

Corporation purchased

134

thousand under

representation and

compared to

927

thousand

during the

quarter ended

March

2022. A

substantial amount

these

loans reinstate

have

mortgage insurance, and thus the ultimate losses

on the loans are not deemed significant.

From

time

time, the

Corporation sells

loans and

agrees to

indemnify the

purchaser for

credit

losses

any

breach

certain

representations and warranties made in connection with

the sale. At March 31,

2023, the Corporation’s liability for

estimated losses

associated

with

indemnifications

and

and

loans

amounted

0.6

million

(December 31, 2022 - $

0.6

million).

Servicing agreements

relating to

the mortgage-backed

securities programs

of FNMA,

FHLMC and

GNMA, and

to mortgage

loans

sold or serviced to certain other investors, including FHLMC,

require the Corporation to advance funds to make

scheduled payments

of principal,

interest, taxes

and insurance,

if such

payments have

not been

received from

the borrowers.

At March

31, 2023,

the

Corporation serviced

10.9

billion in

mortgage loans

for third-parties,

including the

loans serviced

with credit

recourse (December

31, 2022

- $

11.1

billion). The

Corporation generally

recovers funds

advanced pursuant

to these

arrangements from

the mortgage

owner, from

liquidation proceeds when the

mortgage loan is foreclosed

or, in

the case of

FHA/VA loans,

under the applicable FHA

and

insurance

and

programs.

However,

the

The

Corporation

must

also

bear

the

costs

attempting

collect

delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In

addition, if a defaulted loan

is not cured, the mortgage

loan would be canceled as

part

of the foreclosure proceedings and the Corporation

would not receive any future servicing income with

respect to that loan. At March

31,

2023,

the

outstanding

the

Corporation under

Business concentration

Since the Corporation’s business activities are concentrated primarily in Puerto Rico, its results of operations and financial condition

are dependent

upon the

general trends

of the

Puerto Rico

economy and,

in particular,

the residential

and commercial

real estate

markets. The concentration

of the Corporation’s

operations in Puerto Rico

exposes it to

greater risk than other

banking companies

with a wider geographic base. Its

asset and revenue composition by geographical area

is presented in Note 33

to the Consolidated

Financial Statements.

Puerto

In addition, at March

million in loans insured

or securities issued by

Puerto Rico governmental

entities but for

which the principal

source of

repayment is non-governmental

are secured

by first

residential properties

and the

HFA

insurance covers

losses in

the

Legal Proceedings

The

nature

Popular’s

business

ordinarily

generates

claims,

litigation,

investigations,

and

legal

and

administrative

cases

and

proceedings

(collectively,

“Legal Proceedings”).

When the

Corporation determines

that

has

meritorious

defenses to

the

claims

asserted, it vigorously defends itself. The Corporation will consider the settlement of cases (including cases where it has meritorious

defenses) when, in management’s judgment,

it is in the

best interest of the Corporation

and its stockholders to do

so. On at least

quarterly basis, Popular assesses its liabilities and contingencies relating

to outstanding Legal Proceedings utilizing the most current

information

available.

For

matters

where

probable

that

the

Corporation

will

incur

material

loss

and

the

amount

can

reasonably estimated,

the Corporation

establishes an

accrual for

the loss.

Once established,

the accrual

is adjusted

on at

least a

quarterly

basis

reflect

any

relevant

developments,

appropriate.

For

matters

where

material

loss

not

probable,

the

amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated,

no accrual is established.

In certain cases,

exposure to loss

exists in

excess of any

accrual to the

extent such loss

is reasonably possible,

but not

probable.

Management believes and

estimates that the

range of reasonably

possible losses (with

respect to those

matters where such

limits

may be

determined, in

excess of amounts

accrued) for current

Legal Proceedings ranged

from $

to approximately $

16.04

million

March

31,

2023.

certain

cases,

management

cannot

reasonably

estimate

the

possible

loss

this

time.

Any

estimate

involves significant judgment, given the

varying stages of the

Legal Proceedings (including the fact

that many of them

are currently

in preliminary stages), the

existence of multiple

defendants in several of

the current Legal Proceedings

whose share of liability

has

yet to be determined, the numerous unresolved issues in

many of the Legal Proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty

of the various

potential

outcomes

such

Legal

Proceedings.

Accordingly,

management’s

estimate

will

change

from

time-to-time,

and

actual

losses may be more or less than the current estimate.

While the

outcome of

Legal Proceedings

is inherently

uncertain, based

on information

currently available,

advice of

counsel, and

available

insurance

coverage,

management

believes

that

the

amount

has

already

accrued

adequate

and

any

incremental

liability arising from

the Legal Proceedings

in matters in

which a loss

amount can be

reasonably estimated will not

have a material

adverse effect

on the Corporation’s

consolidated financial position.

However, in

the event

of unexpected future

developments, it is

possible that

the ultimate

resolution of

these matters

in a

reporting period, if

unfavorable, could have

a material

adverse effect

the Corporation’s consolidated financial position for that period.

Set forth below is a description of the Corporation’s

significant Legal Proceedings.

Insufficient Funds and Overdraft Fees Class Actions

In February

2020, BPPR

was served

with a

putative class

action complaint captioned

Soto-Melendez v.

Banco Popular

de Puerto

Rico, filed before the United States District

Court for the District of Puerto Rico.

The complaint alleges breach of contract, breach of

the covenant of good faith and fair dealing

and unjust enrichment due to BPPR’s purported practice of (a)

assessing more than one

insufficient funds fee (“NSF Fees”) on the

same ACH “item” or transaction and (b) charging

both NSF Fees and overdraft fees (“OD

Fees”) on

the same

ACH item

or transaction,

and is

filed on

behalf of

all persons

who during

the applicable

statute of

limitations

period

were

charged

NSF

Fees

and/or

Fees

pursuant

these

purported

practices.

April

2020,

BPPR

filed

motion

dismiss the case. In April

2021, the Court issued an order granting

in part and denying in part

BPPR’s motion to dismiss; the

unjust

enrichment claim

was dismissed,

whereas the

breach of

contract and

covenant of

good faith

and fair

dealing claims

survived the

motion.

In March

2022, BPPR

was also

named as

a defendant

on a

putative class

action complaint captioned

Orama-Caraballo v.

Banco

Popular,

filed before

the U.S.

District Court

for the

District of

Puerto Rico

by the

same Plaintiffs’

attorneys of

the Soto-Melendez

complaint. Similar to the claims set forth in the Soto-Melendez complaint, Plaintiffs allege breach of contract, breach of the covenant

of good faith and

fair dealing, and unjust enrichment

due to the bank’s

purported practice of (a) assessing more

than one NSF Fee

the

same

“item” and

(b)

charging

both

NSF

Fees

and

Fees

the

same

“item”

but

included

allegations

with

respect

“checks” in addition to ACH payments.

During a

mediation hearing

held in

April 2022,

the parties

in both

the Soto

Melendez and

Orama-Caraballo complaints

reached a

settlement in principle on a

class-wide basis subject to final court

approval. The parties filed before the

Court a notice of settlement

and a

request to

stay the

proceedings in

both cases

and, on

August 15,

2022, the

parties submitted

the class

action settlement

agreement for the Court's preliminary approval.

On November 23, 2022, the Court issued an

order granting preliminary approval of

the settlement

agreement and,

March 14,

2023, it

held a

hearing granting

final

approval to

the settlement

agreement. These

matters are now closed.

Popular was also named as

a defendant on a putative class

action complaint captioned Golden v.

Popular, Inc. filed

in March 2020

before

the

U.S.

District

Court

for

the

Southern

District

New

York,

seeking

damages,

restitution

and

injunctive

relief.

Plaintiff

alleged breach

of contract,

violation

the covenant

good faith

and

fair

dealing, unjust

enrichment and

violation

New York

consumer protection law

due to Popular’s

purported practice of

charging OD

Fees on transactions

that, under plaintiffs’

theory,

not overdraw the

account. Plaintiff described Popular’s

purported practice of charging

OD Fees as

“Authorize Positive, Purportedly

Settle

Negative”

(“APPSN”)

transactions

and

alleged

that

Popular

assesses

Fees

over

authorized

transactions

for

which

sufficient funds

are held for

settlement.

In August 2020,

Popular filed a

Motion to Dismiss

on several grounds,

including failure to

state a

claim against

Popular,

Inc. and

improper venue.

In October

2020, Plaintiff

filed a

Notice of

Voluntary

Dismissal before the

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and, simultaneously, filed an identical complaint in the U.S. District Court for

the

District

the

Virgin

Islands

against

Popular,

Inc.,

Popular

Bank

and

BPPR.

November

2020,

Plaintiff

filed

Notice

Voluntary

Dismissal against

Popular,

Inc.

and Popular

Bank following

a Motion

Dismiss filed

on behalf

of such

entities, which

argued failure

to state

a claim

and lack

of minimum

contacts of

such parties

with the

U.S.V.I.

district court

jurisdiction. BPPR,

the

only defendant remaining in the case, was served

with process in November 2020 and filed

a Motion to Dismiss in January 2021.

October

2021,

the

District

Court,

notwithstanding that

BPPR’s

Motion

Dismiss

remained

pending

resolution,

held

initial

scheduling

conference

and,

thereafter,

issued

trial

management

order

where

scheduled

the

deadline

for

all

discovery

for

November 2022, and several other

trial-related deadlines for June 2023.

During a mediation hearing held

on October 14, 2022, the

parties in the

Golden action reached a

settlement in principle

on a class-wide

basis subject to

final court approval.

On October 19,

2022, the

parties filed

before the

Court a

notice of

settlement and

a request

to stay

the proceedings

while Plaintiffs

submitted a

motion for the

preliminary approval of the

class action settlement. On

January 19, 2023, the

parties filed the motion

for preliminary

approval

the

settlement

agreement.

March

31,

2023,

the

Court

issued

order

granting

preliminary

approval

the

settlement agreement and scheduled the final approval

hearing for September 8, 2023.

On January

31, 2022,

Popular was

also named

as a

defendant on

a putative

class action

complaint captioned

Lipsett v.

Popular,

Inc. d/b/a Banco Popular, filed before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District

of New York, seeking damages, restitution and

injunctive relief. Similar to the claims set forth in the

aforementioned Golden complaint, Plaintiff alleges breach of contract, including

violations of the covenant of good faith and

fair dealing, as a result of Popular’s purported practice of

charging OD Fees for APPSN

transactions.

The complaint further alleged that

Popular assesses OD Fees

over authorized transactions for

which sufficient funds

are held for settlement. Popular waived service of process

and filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration. In response to Popular’s

motion,

Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal in April 2022.

On May

13, 2022,

Plaintiff in

the Lipsett

complaint filed

a new

complaint captioned

Lipsett v.

Banco Popular

North America

d/b/a

Popular

Community Bank

with the

same

allegations of

his

previous complaint

against Popular.

On June

10,

2022,

after serving

Plaintiff

with a

written notice

election to

arbitrate the

claims

asserted in

the complaint

which went

unanswered, Popular

Bank

(“PB”) filed

a Pre-Motion

Conference motion

related to

a new

Motion to

Compel Arbitration.

After Plaintiff

responded to

the Pre-

Motion conference

motion,

on September

2022, the

Court

allowed PB

file its

Motion to

Compel Arbitration,

which it

did on

September 8, 2022. Plaintiff opposed such motion on

October 13, 2022, and PB filed its reply

on November 3, 2022.

On December 9, 2022, the

Court issued a Decision and

Order denying PB’s Motion to

Compel Arbitration. On December 20, 2022,

filed

Notice

Appeal

with the

United States

Court

Appeals for

the Second

Circuit.

On January

31,

2022, the

Court

Appeals issued

a briefing

schedule granting

PB until

April 6,

2023 to

file its

appeal brief.

The Court

of Appeals

also scheduled

“CAMP” mediation conference, which was held on

February 21, 2023. No settlement was reached

during the mediation. On April 5,

2023, PB filed its appeal brief and, on April 10,

2023, Plaintiff filed a scheduling request to file his opposition

brief by July 5, 2023.

Cyber Incident Related Litigation

BPPR was named

defendant in a

putative class action

complaint filed before

the U.S. District

Court for the

District of Puerto

Rico,

captioned

Rosa

Rivera

Marrero

Banco

Popular

Puerto

Rico.

Plaintiff

contends

BPPR

failed

properly

secure

and

the

class

members’

personally

information

(“PII”)

which

was

purportedly

exposed

through

data

breach

experienced

BPPR’s

vendor

June

2021.

Such

data

breach,

which

alleged

involved

BPPR’s

files,

occurred

via

the

exploitation

alleged vulnerability

in Accellion

FTA,

legacy software

product

developed by

Accellion, Inc

used by

BPPR’s

vendor. Plaintiff

further alleges that, during the data

breach, an unauthorized actor removed one

or more documents that contained

PII of the plaintiff

and purported class members. Plaintiff demands injunctive relief

requesting, among other things, BPPR to

protect

all data

collected through

the course

of its

business in

accordance with

all applicable

regulations, industry

standards and

federal,

state or local laws, as well as

an award for damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and litigation expenses. BPPR was served with

process

on May 27, 2022

and, on August 1, 2022,

filed a Motion to

Dismiss. On August 15,

2022, Plaintiff filed her

opposition to the Motion

to Dismiss and, on September 14, 2022, BPPR filed a reply in support of its Motion to Dismiss. On March 31,

2023, the U.S. District

Court for

the District

of Puerto

Rico issued

an Opinion

and Order

granting BPPR’s

Motion to

Dismiss for

lack of

jurisdiction, and

entered a judgement dismissing the complaint without prejudice.

Plaintiff’s notice of appeal is due on May 3, 2023. Since plaintiff did

not file a notice of appeal, the judgment became

final. This matter is now closed.

as well

as the

under

Title III and

Title VI of

before the

United

District

Court

for

the

District

Puerto

against

Popular,

BPPR

and

Popular

(the

“Popular

that they sustained monetary

losses as a

result of the Popular

Defendants’ anticompetitive, unfair,

and

predatory

practices,

including

Act.

Plaintiffs

claim

that

the

Popular Defendants caused them to

enter a tying arrangement scheme whereby

BPPR allegedly would extend secured credit

lines

to the Plaintiffs on

the conditions that they transfer

their portfolios to Popular

Securities to be used

as pledged collateral and

obtain

additional investment

services and

from Popular

law claims

against

the Popular

Defendants, including

contractual

fault, fault in causing losses in value of the pledge collateral, breach of contract, request for specific compliance thereof,

fault in pre-

contractual negotiations, emotional distress, and punitive damages. In January 2022, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint, and the

Popular Defendants were served with summons on that same date. Plaintiffs demand no less than $

390

million in damages, plus an

award for costs and attorney's fees. The

Popular Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss

on March 21, 2022, which Plaintiffs

opposed

on June 10, 2022. Popular

filed its reply in support

of the Motion to Dismiss

on June 30, 2022, and

Plaintiffs sur-replied on July 27,

Popular Defendants

executed a

those

arising

from

the

After

the

parties

February 15, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico issued an order dismissing the case

with prejudice

and stating that a judgment shall be entered accordingly.

This matter is now closed.

PROMESA Title III Proceedings

2017,

the

Oversight

Board

engaged

the

law

firm

Kobre &

carry

out

independent

investigation

the

Oversight Board

regarding, among

other things,

the causes

of the

Puerto Rico

financial crisis.

Popular,

Inc.,

BPPR and

Popular

Securities

(collectively,

the

“Popular Companies”)

were

served

by,

and

with,

the

Oversight

Board

connection with

requests

for

the

preservation

and

voluntary

production

certain

documents

and

witnesses

with

respect

Kobre

Kim’s

independent

investigation.

In August

2018, Kobre & Kim

issued its

Final Report,

which contained various

references to

the Popular

Companies, including

allegation that

Popular Securities

participated as

an underwriter

in the

Commonwealth’s 2014

issuance of

government obligation

bonds

notwithstanding

having

allegedly

advised

against

it.

The

report

noted

that

such

allegation

could

give

rise

unjust

enrichment claim against the Corporation and could also serve as a basis to equitably subordinate claims filed by the Corporation in

the Title III proceeding to other third-party claims.

After the publication of the Final Report, the Oversight Board created a special claims committee (“SCC”) and, before the end of the

applicable two-year statute of limitations for the filing of such claims pursuant

to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the SCC, along

with the

Commonwealth’s

Unsecured Creditors’

Committee (“UCC”),

filed

various

avoidance, fraudulent

transfer and

other claims

against

third parties, including government vendors and

financial institutions and other professionals involved in

bond issuances then being

challenged as

invalid by the

SCC and

the UCC.

The Popular

Companies, the SCC

and the

UCC entered into

a tolling

agreement

with respect to potential claims the SCC and the UCC,

on behalf of the Commonwealth or other Title III

debtors, may assert against

the Popular Companies for the avoidance and recovery of payments and/or transfers made to the Popular Companies or as a result

of any role

of the Popular Companies

in the offering

of the aforementioned challenged

bond issuances. In January

2022, the SCC,

the UCC and the Popular Companies executed a settlement agreement as to potential claims related to the avoidance and recovery

of payments and/or

transfers made to the

Popular Companies. Potential claims

being pursued by

the SCC and

the UCC, including

claims tolled

under existing tolling

agreements, were transferred

to a

newly created Puerto

Rico Avoidance Action

Trust as

part of

the approval of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s Plan

of Adjustment. On March 28, 2023, the Popular

Companies and the Puerto

Rico Avoidance Action Trust executed a settlement agreement as to potential claims related to the role of the Popular Companies in

the offering of the challenged bond issuances. This matter

is now closed.

Note 22 – Non-consolidated variable interest

entities

The Corporation is

involved with

three

statutory trusts which

it created to

issue trust preferred

securities to the

public. These trusts

are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) since the equity investors at risk have no substantial decision-making rights. The

Corporation does not

hold any variable

interest in the

trusts, and therefore,

cannot be the

trusts’ primary beneficiary.

Furthermore,

the

Corporation concluded

that

it did

not

hold

controlling financial

interest

these

trusts

since the

decisions

the

trusts

are

predetermined through

the trust

documents and the

guarantee of

the trust

preferred securities is

irrelevant since

in substance

the

sponsor is guaranteeing its own debt.

Also, the

Corporation is

involved with

various special

purpose entities

mainly in

guaranteed mortgage

securitization transactions,

including

GNMA

and

FNMA.

The

Corporation

has

also

March

These

The

Corporation’s

continuing

securitizations includes

owning certain

The size of

the non-consolidated VIEs,

in which the

Corporation has a

the form

of servicing fees,

measured as

the total unpaid principal balance of the loans,

amounted to $

7.5

billion at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $

7.7

billion).

The Corporation

determined that

the maximum

exposure to

loss includes

the fair

value of

the MSRs

and the

assumption that

the

servicing advances at March

31, 2023 and December

31, 2022, will not

be recovered. The agency

debt securities are not

included

as part of the maximum exposure to loss since

they are guaranteed by the related agencies.

ASU 2009-17 requires that an ongoing primary beneficiary assessment should be made to determine whether the Corporation is the

primary beneficiary of any of the VIEs it is

involved with. The conclusion on the assessment of these non-consolidated VIEs has not

changed

since

their

initial

evaluation.

The

Corporation

concluded

that

still

not

the

primary

beneficiary

these

VIEs,

and

therefore, these VIEs are not required to be consolidated

in the Corporation’s financial statements at March 31,

2023.

The principal

uses of

funds for

the banking

subsidiaries include

loan originations,

and repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios and operational

expenses. Also, the

and

The banking

such as

deposit

outflows.

The

Corporation has

established

liquidity

guidelines

that

require

the

banking

subsidiaries

have

sufficient

liquidity

cover all short-term borrowings and a portion of deposits.

The Corporation’s ability to compete

successfully in the marketplace for

deposits, excluding brokered deposits, depends on various

factors, including pricing, service, convenience

and financial stability as

reflected by operating results and

financial condition, credit

ratings (by

nationally recognized credit

rating agencies), customer

confidence, and

importantly,

FDIC deposit

insurance coverage.

Deposits at all of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries are federally insured

(subject to FDIC limits) and this is expected to mitigate

the potential effect of the aforementioned risks.

140

Deposits are a

key source of

funding as they

tend to be

less volatile than institutional

borrowings and their cost

is less sensitive

market rates.

Refer to

of deposits

customers.

Core

deposits

include certificate

deposit

under

all

non-

savings deposits.

Core deposits exclude brokered

deposits. Core deposits have

historically provided

the Corporation

with a

sizable source

of relatively

stable and

low-cost funds.

Core deposits

totaled $57.0

billion, or

94% of

total

deposits, at March

31, 2023, compared

with $57.6 billion,

or 94% of

The

Corporation

had

March

2023,

which

financed

its

total

assets

(December 31, 2022 -

respectively).

In the event that

any of the Corporation’s

banking subsidiaries’ regulatory

capital

ratios fall

below those

required

a well-capitalized

institution or

are subject

to capital

restrictions by

the regulators,

that

banking subsidiary faces

the risk of

not being able

to raise or

maintain brokered deposits

and faces limitations

on the rate

paid on

deposits, which

may hinder

the Corporation’s

ability to

effectively compete

in its

retail markets

and could

affect its

deposit raising

efforts.

Deposits from the public sector represent an important source of funds for the Corporation. As of March 31, 2023, total public sector

deposits were $15.5 billion,

compared to $15.8 billion at December 31, 2022. Generally, these deposits require that the bank pledge

high credit quality securities as collateral; therefore, liquidity risks arising from public sector deposit outflows are lower given that the

bank receives its

collateral in return.

This, now unpledged,

collateral can either

be financed via

repurchase agreements or

sold for

cash.

However,

there

are

some

timing

differences

between the

time

the

deposit

outflow occurs

and

when the

bank receives

its

collateral. Additionally,

the Corporation mainly

utilizes fixed-rate U.S.

Treasury debt

securities as collateral.

While these securities

have limited credit risk, they are subject to market

value risk based on changes in the interest rate environment.

When interest rates

increase, the value of this collateral decreases and could result in the Corporation having to provide additional collateral to cover the

same

amount

deposit

liabilities.

This

additional

collateral

could

reduce

unpledged

securities

otherwise

available

liquidity

sources to the Corporation.

At March 31, 2023, management believes that the banking subsidiaries had sufficient current and projected

liquidity sources to meet

their

anticipated

cash

flow

obligations,

well

special

needs

and

off-balance

they would be

Additionally,

the

Corporation’s

latest

quarterly

dividend

was

$0.55

per

approximately

$40

million

per

quarter.

The BHCs have in

the past borrowed in the

corporate debt market primarily to finance

their non-banking subsidiaries and refinance

debt obligations. These

sources of funding

are more costly

due to the

fact that

two out of

the three principal

credit rating agencies

rate the Corporation below “investment grade”, which

affects the Corporation’s cost and

ability to raise funds in

the capital markets.

Factors that the Corporation

does not control, such

as the economic outlook,

interest rate volatility,

inflation, disruptions in the

debt

market, among others,

could also affect

its ability to

obtain funding. The

Corporation has an

automatic shelf registration

statement

filed and effective

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission, which permits the Corporation

to issue an

unspecified amount of

debt or equity securities.

Non-Banking Subsidiaries

The

principal

sources

funding

for

the

non-banking

subsidiaries

include

internally

generated

cash

flows

from

operations,

loan

sales, repurchase agreements, capital

injections and borrowed funds

from their direct

parent companies or the

holding companies.

The principal uses of funds for the non-banking

subsidiaries include repayment of maturing debt,

operational expenses and payment

of dividends to the

BHCs. The liquidity needs

of the non-banking subsidiaries

are minimal since most

of them are

funded internally

from operating cash flows or from intercompany borrowings

or capital contributions from their holding companies.

Dividends

During the

31, 2023,

the Corporation

declared cash

dividends of

$0.55 per common

Off-Balance Sheet arrangements and other commitments

In the ordinary course

of business, the Corporation

engages in financial transactions that

are not recorded on

the balance sheet or

may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different than the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. As a

provider of

financial services,

the Corporation

routinely enters

into commitments

with off-balance

sheet risk

to meet

the financial

needs of

its customers. These

commitments may include

loan commitments and

standby letters of

credit. These commitments

are

subject

FDIC Special Assessments

On March

12 and

13, 2023,

following the

closures of

Silicon Valley

Bank (“SVB”)

and Signature Bank

and the

appointment of the

FDIC as the

receiver for those

banks, the FDIC announced

that, under the

systemic risk exception set

forth in the

Federal Deposit

Insurance Act (“FDIA”),

all insured and

uninsured deposits of those

banks were transferred to

the respective bridge

banks for SVB

and Signature Bank.

The FDIC

also announced

that, as

required by

the FDIA,

The FDIA

provides that the special assessment will be prescribed through regulation, and the Chairman also noted in the same

the impact

of the special assessment on our noninterest

could also

affect

its

ability to

obtain funding.

positive tangible

capital

requirements to

utilize secured

loan facilities

with the

FHLB that

could

result in

a limitation

borrowing amounts or maturity terms, even if the Corporation

exceeds well-capitalized regulatory capital levels.

The credit

ratings of

Popular’s debt

obligations are

a relevant

factor for

liquidity because

they impact

the Corporation’s

ability to

borrow

the

capital

markets,

its

cost

and

sources.

Credit

adequacy,

the quality

of management,

geographic concentration

in Puerto

liquidity of

the balance

sheet, the

availability of

a significant

base of

core retail

and

commercial deposits, and the Corporation’s ability to access

a broad array of wholesale funding sources,

among other factors.

Furthermore,

various

statutory

provisions

limit

the

amount

dividends

insured

depository

institution

may

pay

its

holding

company without

regulatory approval. A

member bank must

obtain the

approval of

the Federal

Reserve Board

for any

dividend, if

the total

of all

dividends declared

by the

member bank

during the

calendar year

would exceed

the total

of its

net income

for that

year,

combined with

its retained

net income

for the

preceding two

years, after

considering those

years’ dividend

activity,

less any

required transfers to surplus or to a

fund for the retirement of any

preferred stock. During the quarter ended March 31,

2023, BPPR

declared cash dividends of $50 million. At March 31, 2023, BPPR can declare a dividend of approximately $259 million without prior

approval of the Federal Reserve Board due to its retained income, declared

dividend activity and transfers to statutory reserves over

the measurement

period.

In addition,

a member

bank may

not declare

or pay

a dividend

in an

amount greater

than its

undivided

profits as reported in its Report of Condition and Income,

unless the member bank has received the

approval of the Federal Reserve

Board. A

member bank

also may

not permit

any portion

of its

permanent capital to

be withdrawn

unless the

withdrawal has

been

approved by

the Federal

Reserve Board. Pursuant

to these

requirements, PB may

not declare

or pay

a dividend

without the

prior

approval of the

Federal Reserve Board and

the NYSDFS. The

ability of a

bank subsidiary to

up-stream dividends to its

BHC could

thus

impacted

its

financial

and

capital,

including

tangible

and

regulatory

capital,

thus

potentially

limiting

the

amount

moving

the

BHCs

from

banking

subsidiaries.

This

could,

turn,

affect

the

BHCs

ability

declare

dividends on its outstanding common and preferred

stock, repurchase its securities or meet its debt obligations,

for example.

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries have historically not

used unsecured capital market borrowings to finance

its operations, and

therefore are less sensitive to the level and

changes in the Corporation’s overall credit ratings.

in Note 33 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

significant portion

our financial

activities and

credit

exposure is

concentrated in

the

Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico

(“Puerto

Rico”), which has faced severe economic and fiscal

challenges in the past and may face additional

challenges in the future.

Economic Performance.

Puerto

Rico’s

economy suffered

severe and

prolonged recession

from

2007

2017,

with real

gross national

product (“GNP”)

contracting approximately 15%

during this

period. In 2017,

Hurricane María caused

significant damage and

destruction across the

island, resulting in further economic contraction. Puerto Rico’s

economy has been gradually recovering since 2018, in

part aided by

the large amount

of federal disaster

relief and recovery

assistance funds injected

into the Puerto

Rico economy in

connection with

Hurricane María

and other

recent natural

disasters. This

growth was

interrupted by

the economic

shock caused

by the

COVID-19

pandemic in 2020, but has since resumed, in part

aided by additional federal assistance from

pandemic-related stimulus measures.

The

latest

Puerto

Rico

Economic Activity

Index,

published

the

Economic

Development Bank

for

Puerto

Rico

(the

“Economic

Activity Index”), reflected a 0.6% and

0.2% decrease in January and February

2023, respectively, compared to

the same months in

2022. During January and February

2023, the Economic Activity Index

increased by 0.5% and 0.3%,

respectively, in

a month-over-

month basis.

The Economic Activity Index is a coincident indicator of ongoing

economic activity but not a direct measurement of real

GNP.

In February

2023, the

Puerto Rico

Planning Board

revised its

real GNP

forecast for

the current

fiscal year

(July 2022-June

2023) from 1.7% growth to 0.7% growth, citing

an anticipated deacceleration in the global economy.

While the

Puerto Rico

economy has

not directly

tracked the

United States

economy in

recent years,

many of

the external

factors

that impact

the Puerto

Rico economy

are affected

by the

policies and performance

of the

United States

economy.

These external

factors include

the level

of interest

rates and

the rate

of inflation.

Inflation in

the United

States, as

measured by the

United States

Consumer Price Index (published by the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics), increased 5.0% during

the 12-month period ended March

2023, mainly driven by pent-up demand and supply-chain

disruptions caused by the pandemic.

During the same period, inflation in

Puerto Rico, as measured by the Puerto Rico Consumer Price Index (published by the Department of Labor and Human Resources

of Puerto

Rico), increased 5.1%

for similar

reasons. The rate

of inflation has

slowed down

in recent months,

following a

mid-2022

peak, as the Federal Reserve has implemented a series

of benchmark interest rate increases. The speed and

scope of the inflation

slowdown will

inform if

and how

much

interest rates

will continue

increase, as

well how

these changes

will

impact the

United

States and Puerto Rico economies.

Fiscal Challenges.

As the

Puerto Rico

economy contracted, the

government’s public

debt rose

rapidly,

in part

from borrowing to

cover deficits

to pay

debt service,

pension benefits and

other government

expenditures. By 2016,

the Puerto

Rico government had

over $120

billion in

combined debt and unfunded pension liabilities, had

lost access to the capital markets, and was in

the midst of a fiscal crisis.

Puerto

Rico’s

escalating fiscal

and economic

challenges

and imminent

widespread defaults

its

public debt

prompted the

U.S.

Congress to

enact the

Puerto Rico

Oversight, Management,

and Economic

Stability Act

(“PROMESA”) in

June 2016.

PROMESA

created the “Oversight Board” with ample powers over Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic affairs and those of its public corporations,

instrumentalities and municipalities (collectively,

“PR Government Entities”). Pursuant

to PROMESA, the

Oversight Board will be

place

until

market

access

restored

and

balanced

budgets

are

produced

for

least

four

consecutive

years.

PROMESA

also

established two

mechanisms for

the restructuring

of the

obligations of

PR Government

Entities: (a)

Title III,

which provides

an in-

court process that incorporates many of the

powers and provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code

and permits adjustment of a broad

148

range of obligations, and

(b) Title VI,

which provides for a

largely out-of-court process through which

modifications to financial debt

can be accepted by a supermajority of creditors

and bind holdouts.

Since 2017, Puerto Rico and several

of its instrumentalities have availed themselves

of the debt restructuring mechanisms of Titles

III and VI of PROMESA. The Puerto Rico government emerged from Title III of PROMESA in March 2022. Several instrumentalities,

including Government

Development Bank for

Puerto Rico,

the Puerto

Rico Sales

Tax

Financing Corporation, and

the Puerto

Rico

Highways

and

Transportation

Authority,

have

also

completed

debt

restructurings

under

Titles

III

PROMESA.

While

the

majority

the

debt

has

already

been

restructured,

some

Government

Entities

still

face

significant

fiscal

challenges.

For

example, the

Puerto Rico

Electric Power

Authority is

still in

the process

of restructuring

its debts

under Title

III of

PROMESA and

other PR Government

Entities, such as

the Puerto Rico

Industrial Development Company,

have defaulted on

their bonds but

have

not commenced debt restructuring proceedings under

PROMESA.

Municipalities.

date, however, no municipality has been subject to any such debt restructuring

process.

Exposure of the Corporation

The credit

quality of BPPR’s

loan portfolio

reflects, among other

things, the

general economic conditions

in Puerto

Rico and

other

adverse conditions affecting Puerto

Rico consumers and businesses.

Deterioration in the Puerto

Rico economy has resulted

in the

past, and could

result in the future,

in higher delinquencies, greater

charge-offs and increased losses,

which could materially affect

our financial condition and results of operations.

These included

$204 million in

residential mortgage loans insured

by the Puerto

Rico Housing Finance Authority

HFA and held

by the Corporation directly or those serving
