Note 17 – Subsequent Events (Restated)

This note has been restated to reflect the changes described in the Explanatory Note and in the Restatement section of Note 1 of this Form 10-Q/A.

On April 6, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1225 per share, which was paid on April 28, 2023, to shareholders of record of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on April 18, 2023.

A commercial and industrial loan in the amount of $33.8 million, which was placed on nonaccrual stated in the fourth quarter of 2023 and which was modified during the first quarter of 2023, did not make a contractually due payment at the end of April 2023.

On May 15, 2023, the Company sold its wholesale mortgage business operating as LenderSelect Mortgage Group (“LSMG”) to a third-party for $250 thousand in cash. The Company reported a loss on the sale of LSMG of $553 thousand in the second quarter of 2023.

On July 12, 2023, the Board of the Company determined to forego the declaration and payment of a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock in the third quarter of 2023. The decision was based on the desire to preserve capital and available cash.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a settlement term sheet with the plaintiff to resolve the VCB ESOP litigation (the "Term Sheet"). Under the Term Sheet, the parties have agreed to negotiate towards entering into a formal settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") that would be contingent upon approval by the court hearing the case. As provided in the Term Sheet, the plaintiff has agreed to release the Company, the Bank, and related parties from all claims related to acts or omissions associated with the VCB ESOP, once the Settlement Agreement is entered into and approved by the court. The Company has agreed to make a settlement payment of $6.0 million to a fund for the benefit of VCB ESOP participants, with $5.95 million due after final approval of the settlement by the court, which is expected to occur late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2024. If the court approves the Settlement Agreement, the ongoing lawsuit will be dismissed with prejudice, and all similar claims that were or could have been brought relating to the VCB ESOP will be released and barred. The Company entered into the Term Sheet to eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation and to resolve the claims that were or could have been asserted related to the VCB ESOP. The Company accrued $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 in anticipation of this proposed settlement.

In the third quarter of 2023, management concluded that goodwill had become impaired as a result of the decline in the Company's stock price and its market value relative to its book value. Accordingly, an impairment charge totaling $26.8 million, the entire amount of goodwill reported in the consolidated balance sheet, was recognized during the third quarter of 2023.

On October 30, 2023, the Board of the Company determined to forego the declaration and payment of a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, the Board made the decision to suspend future quarterly dividend payments until further notice.
