Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

Note 11 – Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, financial institutions must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. A financial institution's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators regarding components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Pursuant to the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (the “Basel III rules”), the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios of 2.50% for all ratios, except the tier 1 leverage ratio. If a banking organization dips into its capital

conservation buffer, it is subject to limitations on certain activities, including payment of dividends, share repurchases, and discretionary compensation to certain officers.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized; although, these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank met the capital requirements to be classified as well capitalized.

As previously noted, the Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2023. Federal and state banking regulations allow financial institutions to irrevocably elect to phase-in the after-tax cumulative effect adjustment at adoption to retained earnings (“CECL Transitional Amount”) over a three-year period. The three-year phase-in of the CECL Transitional Amount to regulatory capital will be 25%, 50%, and 25% in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. The Bank made this irrevocable election effective with its first quarter 2023 call report.

The following tables present the capital and capital ratios to which the Bank is subject and the amounts and ratios to be adequately and well capitalized as of the dates stated. Adequately capitalized ratios include the conversation buffer, if applicable. The CECL Transitional Amount was $8.1 million, of which $2.0 million reduced the regulatory capital amounts and capital ratios as of September 30, 2023.

In addition to the foregoing capital requirements, the OCC has notified the Bank of its decision to establish individual minimum capital ratios (“IMCR”) for the Bank that are higher than those required for capital adequacy purposes generally. Specifically, the Bank is required to maintain a leverage ratio of 10.00% and a total capital ratio of 13.00%. As of September 30, 2023, the Bank did not meet these IMCR requirements,which could subject the Bank to additional regulatory requirements or directives, including developing and maintaining capital plans, asset sales, limitations on growth, further regulatory sanctions and/or other regulatory enforcement actions.
