- Share Repurchases: The company repurchased 29,134 shares during the quarter under a program authorized for up to 500,000 shares through December 2026.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Loan Concentration: Review the composition of the loan portfolio, specifically the $446 million in non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans.
- Interest Rate Sensitivity: Assess the impact of the 3.65% fixed-to-floating subordinated notes resetting in June 2026 on future interest expense.
- MSR Valuation: Confirm the assumptions used for the $0.45 million MSR recapture and the valuation allowance reduction.
