Employee Stock Ownership Plan [Abstract]

(12) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Bank established an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Company stock. The plan is a tax-qualified plan for the benefit of all Bank employees. Contributions are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal tax law limits. The ESOP acquired 1,538,868 shares between the initial and second-step stock offerings with the proceeds of a loan totaling $11.8 million. The loan is payable over 15 years at a rate per annum equal to 5.00%. Shares

used as collateral to secure the loan are released and available for allocation to eligible employees as the principal and interest on the loan is paid. The number of shares committed to be released per year through 2033 is 89,758.

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Unallocated		942,459		987,338
Total		1,538,868		1,538,868
