Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, we make various commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The commitments and contingent liabilities include guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2026, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit totaled $14.0 billion. As of March 31, 2026, the liability recorded for expected credit losses on unfunded commitments, excluding unconditionally cancellable exposures and letters of credit, was $69.2 million and recorded on the Balance Sheet. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion of liability recorded for expected credit losses on unfunded commitments.

We have been named as defendant in various legal actions, arising from its normal business activities, in which damages in various amounts are claimed. We are also exposed to litigation risk related to the prior business activities of banks acquired through whole bank acquisitions. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, as of March 31, 2026, any such liability is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Cyber Incident Litigation.  On April 3, 2024, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Bank in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division (the “Original Suit”). The plaintiff, who purports to represent the class of individuals harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Bank in connection with the cybersecurity incident that was detected on February 6, 2024 (the “Cyber Incident”, as previously reported in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 9, 2024), asserts a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief and other related relief related to the potential unauthorized access by third parties to personal identifiable information. While the Original Suit has been voluntarily dismissed, the same plaintiffs as well as additional plaintiffs initiated litigation that names the Bank as a defendant. These cases have been consolidated into one putative class action, which as of March 31, 2026, remains pending against the Bank in the Circuit Court for Polk County, Florida (the “Cyber Incident Suit”).

During the first quarter of 2026, the parties agreed to a settlement of the Cyber Incident Suit, subject to court approval, under which the Company has agreed to fund documented losses, pay attorney’s fees, and administration costs and credit monitoring fees. The settlement is expected to be paid from the Company’s cyber insurance coverage.
