Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Governments have become increasingly focused on the effects of climate change and related environmental issues, and various policymakers with jurisdiction over us have adopted, or are considering adopting, climate-related policies or regulations which may require us to incur increased costs. For example,While the SEC published proposed rules that would require companies to provide significantly expanded climate-related disclosures in their periodic reporting, whichsuch wouldrules haveare requirednot usexpected to incurbe significant additional costs to comply, including the implementation of significant additional internal controls processes and procedures regarding matters that have not been subject to such controlsimplemented in thetheir past,current andform. impose increased oversight obligations on our management and board of directors. While the application of this rule is currently stayed pending resolution of legal challenges and recent comments from the acting commissioner of the SEC indicate that the SEC may not defend the rule against such legal challenges,However, the SEC may seek to enact new rules related to environmental issues in the future. In the absence of an SEC rule requiring such disclosures, certain states may be more likely to implement legislation at the state-level requiring climate and other environmental disclosure. For instance, the California legislature passed legislation requiring that certain entities doing business in California with revenues exceeding $1 billion report their direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. The legislation authorizes regulations which could administer penalties against reporting entities for non-compliance. This legislation and similar legislation that may be introduced in future may require us to incur various and significant costs to comply. Various banking regulators, including the FDIC and the New York Department of Financial Services, have also proposed guidelines for climate-related risk management. While guidance from the FDIC is aimed at financial institutions with over $100 billion in consolidated assets, there is no guarantee that we will not be subject to additional regulation regarding climate-related risk management in future. The Federal Reserve Board, for example, may incorporate climate-related risks into its supervisory stress tests In addition, consumers and businesses also may change their behavior on their own as a result of their concerns over the long-term impacts of climate change. We and our clients will need to respond to new laws and regulations as well as client and business preferences resulting from climate change concerns. We and our clients may face cost increases, asset value reductions (including the possibility of stranded assets), operating process changes, and the like. The impact on our loan relationships and other clients will likely vary depending on their specific attributes, including reliance on or role in carbon intensive activities and the impact of rising sea levels and other effects of climate change. Among the impacts to us could be a drop in demand for our products and services, particularly in certain sectors. In addition, we could face reductions in creditworthiness on the part of some clients or in the value of assets securing loans. Our efforts to take these risks into account in making lending and other decisions, including by increasing our business with climate-friendly companies, may not be effective in protecting us from the negative impact of new laws and regulations or changes in consumer or business behavior. It is possible as well that changes in climate and related environmental risks, perceptions of them, and governmental responses to them may occur more rapidly than we are able to adapt without disrupting our business and impairing our financial results. In addition, the impact of heightened environmental regulation upon our clients could impact our existing loan portfolio as well as asset value and our clients’ operating costs, which could adversely affect our business.

It cannot be determined at this time whether or when a final rule will be adopted and whether compliance with such a final rule will substantially affect the manner in which we structure compensation for our executives and other employees.

In addition, the risks inherent in construction lending may continue toadversely affect adversely our results of operations. Such risks include, among other things, the possibility that contractors may fail to complete, or complete on a timely basis, construction of the relevant properties; substantial cost overruns in excess of original estimates and financing (including shortages in labor and raw materials and supplies); market deterioration during construction; and lack of permanent take-out financing. Loans secured by such properties also involve additional risk because they have no operating history. In these loans, loan funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction (which is of uncertain value prior to completion of construction) and the estimated operating cash flow to be generated by the completed project. There is no assurance that such properties will be sold or leased so as to generate the cash flow anticipated by the borrower. A general decline in real estate sales and prices across the United States or locally in the relevant real estate market, a decline in demand for residential real estate, economic weakness, high rates of unemployment, and reduced availability of mortgage credit, are some of the factors that can adversely affect the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations to us and the value of our security interest in collateral, and thereby adversely affect our results of operations and financial results.

In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors has established a written credit policy that includes a credit review and control system that the Board of Directors believes should be effective in ensuring that the Bank maintains an appropriate allowance for credit losses. The Board of Directors provides oversight for the allowance evaluation process, including quarterly evaluations, and determines whether the allowance is appropriate to absorb losses in the credit portfolio. The determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses are based on management’s current judgment about the credit quality of the loan portfolio and takes into consideration known relevant internal and external factors that affect collectability when determining the appropriate level for the allowance for credit losses.

In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, the payment structure of the security, failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. Any fair value changes that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. In the current period, management evaluated the securities in an unrealized loss position and determined that their unrealized losses were a result of the level of market interest rates relative to the types of securities and pricing changes caused by shifting supply and demand dynamics and not a result of downgraded credit ratings or other indicators of deterioration of the underlying issuers' ability to repay. Accordingly, we determined the unrealized losses were not credit-related and recognized the unrealized losses in "other comprehensive income/(loss)" in stockholders' equity. Although we periodically sell securities for portfolio for management purposes, we do not foresee having to sell any impaired securities strictly for liquidity needs and believe that it is more likely than not we would not be required to sell any impaired securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

The Federal banking regulatory agencies issued final guidance on December 6, 2006, regarding risk management practices for financial institutions with high or increasing concentrations of commercial real estate ("CRE") loans on their balance sheets. The regulatory guidance reiterates the need for sound internal risk management practices for those institutions that have experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, have notable exposure to specific types of CRE, or are approaching or exceeding the supervisory criteria used to evaluate the CRE concentration risk, but the guidance is not to be construed as a limit for CRE exposure. The supervisory criteria are: (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100% of the institution's total risk-based capital, and (2) both total CRE loans represent 300% or more of the institution's total risk-based capital and the institution's CRE loan portfolio has increased 50% or more within the last thirty-six months.

In calculating our allowance for credit losses for the year ended 2024,2025, an increase in Special Mention-rated loans and an increase in individually evaluated loan reserves accounted for the changeincreased in Moody’s forecast of future GDP, unemployment rates, CRE and home price indexes, did not result in a significant impact to the allowance for credit losses.allowance. Our methodology and framework along with the 8-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and the 4-quarter reversion period have remained consistent since the implementation of CECL. Certain management assumptions are reassessed every quarter based on current expectations for credit losses, while other assumptions are assessed and updated on at least an annual basis.

Reworded

Under the Company’s CECL methodology, nine portfolio segments with similar risk characteristics are evaluated for expected loss. Six portfolios are modeled using econometric models and three smaller portfolios are evaluated using a simplified loss-rate method that calculates lifetime expected credit losses for the respective pools (simplified approach). The six portfolios subject to econometric modeling include residential mortgages; commercial and industrial loans (“C&I”); construction loans; commercial real estate (“CRE”) for multifamily loans; CRE for owner-occupied loans; and other CRE loans. We estimate the probability of default during the reasonable and supportable forecast period using separate econometric regression models developed to correlate macroeconomic variables, (GDP, unemployment, CRE prices and residential mortgage prices) to historical credit performance for each of the six loan portfolios from the fourth quarter of 2007 through the fourth quarter of 2022.2024. Loss given default rates are computed based on the net charge-offs recognizedestimated and then applied to the expected exposure at default of defaulted loans starting with the fourth quarter of 2007 through the fourth quarter of 2022.2025. The probability of default and the loss given default rates are applied to the expected amount at default at the loan level based on contractual scheduled payments and estimated prepayments. The amounts so calculated comprise the quantitative portion of the allowance for credit losses.

Reworded

The Company’s CECL methodology utilizes an eight-quarter reasonable and supportable (“R&S”) forecast period, and a four-quarter reversion period. Management relies on multiple forecasts, blending them into a single loss estimate. Generally speaking, the blended scenario approach would include the Baseline, the Alternative Scenario 1 – Upside – 10th Percentile and the Alternative Scenario 3 – Downside – 90th Percentile forecasts. After the R&S period, the Company will revert to straight-line for the four-quarter reversion period to the long-term loss rates for each of the six portfolios of loans. The contractual term excludes renewals and modifications but includes pre-approved extensions and prepayment assumptions where applicable.

In accordance with customary banking practice, construction loans and land development loans generally are originated wherewith interest on the loan is disbursed from pre-established interest reserves included in the total original loan commitment. Our construction loans and land development loans generally include optional renewal terms after the maturity of the initial loan term. New appraisals are obtained prior tobefore extension or renewal of these loans in part to determine the appropriate interest reserve to be established for the new loan term. Loans with interest reserves are generally underwritten to the same criteria, including loan to value and, if applicable, pro forma debt service coverage ratios, as loans without interest reserves. Construction loans with interest reserves are monitored on a periodic basis to gauge progress towardstoward completion. Interest reserves are frozen if it is determined that additional draws would result in a loan to value ratio that exceeds policy maximums based on collateral property type. Our policy limits in this regard are consistent with supervisory limits and range from 50% in the case of land to 85% in the case of one to four family residential construction projects.

While we typically expect loans with interest reserves to be repaid in full according to the original contractual terms, some loans may require one or more extensions beyond the original maturity before full repayment. Typically, these extensions are required due to construction delays, delays in the sale or lease of the property, or some combination of these two factors.

The federal banking regulatory agencies issued final guidance on December 6, 2006, regarding risk management practices for financial institutions with high or increasing concentrations of commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans on their balance sheets. The regulatory guidance reiterates the need for sound internal risk management practices for those institutions that have experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, have notable exposure to specific types of CRE, or are approaching or exceeding the supervisory criteria used to evaluate the CRE concentration risk, but the guidance is not to be construed as a limit for CRE exposure. The supervisory criteria are: (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100% of the institution’s total risk-based capital, and (2) both total CRE loans represent 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capitalcapital, and the institution’s CRE loan portfolio has increased 50% or more within the last thirty-six months.

Added

The increase in the ACL was driven primarily by changes in the quantitative component of the reserve in relation to the changes in loan volume. The quantitative reserve increased with strong growth in both the CRE and C&I segments, offset by a decline in the Construction portfolio. In addition, individually assessed reserves increased, largely attributable to a reserve established for a newly completed CRE Multifamily property which sustained damage requiring significant remediation.

Added

The qualitative component of the allowance increased modestly during the quarter, largely reflecting an enhancement to the loan risk rating imprecision methodology to better align the reserve with an expected lifetime loss framework. This increase was partially offset by lower qualitative reserves for certain commercial real estate segments, including Office and Construction, as a softening baseline economic forecast reduced the severity differential with the model’s downside scenario.

Removed

The increase in the ACL during the quarter was driven primarily by changes in the quantitative component of the reserve. Quantitative reserves increased due to higher modeled lifetime loss estimates, reflecting updates to certain model assumptions intended to better capture the portfolio’s historical loss experience across economic cycles. These updates resulted in higher expected credit losses across several loan categories.

Removed

The qualitative component of the allowance was relatively stable in total; however, qualitative adjustments shifted across portfolios based on management’s assessment of credit conditions and risk trends. In particular, additional qualitative reserves were applied to certain commercial real estate segments, including office and construction, to reflect market‑specific considerations not fully captured in the model’s baseline economic forecasts. These increases were offset by reductions in qualitative reserves in other portfolios, resulting in an overall qualitative reserve level that was broadly unchanged from the prior quarter.

Reworded

The ACL is also influenced by the macroeconomic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model. The MarchJune 31,30, 2026 estimate incorporated multiple forward‑looking economic scenarios obtained from a reputable third‑party forecaster. These scenarios reflect a range of potential economic outcomes and include a baseline view of expected conditions, along with more optimistic and more adverse alternatives. Management applies judgment in determining how these scenarios are incorporated into the allowance estimate, taking into account prevailing economic uncertainty and risks.

Reworded

To illustrate the sensitivity of the allowance to changes in economic assumptions, management estimates that applying a 100% weighting to the downside scenario would have increased the ACL by approximately $70.7$72.1 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.

FDIC Special Assessment and Uninsured Deposits

Added

In November 2023, the FDIC adopted a final rule implementing a special assessment to recover losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") arising from the systemic risk determination related to the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March 2023. The Company was subject to the special assessment and paid its eighth and final scheduled quarterly assessment during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no remaining accrued liability related to the FDIC special assessment.

Added

In December 2025, the FDIC adopted an interim final rule establishing a process under which institutions subject to the special assessment may receive an offset against future regular deposit insurance assessments if total special assessment collections ultimately exceed losses required to be recovered by the FDIC. The interim final rule also provides for the possibility of an additional one-time shortfall special assessment if ultimate losses exceed amounts collected. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not recognized any asset related to a potential future offset because the amount and timing of any such offset, if any, are not currently determinable. The Company will continue to monitor future FDIC communications and guidance regarding any additional assessments or offsets.

Removed

In 2023, the FDIC issued a final rule implementing a special assessment for certain banks to recover losses to the DIF associated with protecting uninsured depositors of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank upon their failure in March 2023. The Company paid its eighth and final quarterly special assessment during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and its remaining accrual for its estimated special assessment liability is zero as of March 31, 2026. The Company will continue to monitor the estimated loss attributable to the protection of uninsured depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which could impact the amount of its accrued liability. In December 2025, the FDIC issued an interim final rule outlining a process for a potential offset to regular quarterly deposit insurance assessments for banks subject to the special assessment if the special assessment amount collected ultimately exceeds losses to the DIF. The FDIC plans to provide additional updates on future offsets or a one-time final shortfall special assessment collection, if any, through future invoices.
