Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Minimum regulatory capital requirements established by Basel III rules require the Corporation and the Bank to:
•Meet a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.0% of average assets;
•Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets;
•Meet a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets;
•Meet a minimum Total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets;
•Maintain a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus; and,
•Comply with the definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses.
Management believes, as of December 31, 2023, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. There are no subsequent conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Dividend Restrictions
Dividend payments by the Bank to the Corporation are subject to certain legal and regulatory limitations. As of December 31, 2023 $48.3 million of undistributed earnings of the Bank, included in consolidated retained earnings, was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends without prior regulatory approval. Additionally, dividends paid by the Bank to the Corporation would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
