Strategic Focus Update on Recent Strategic Initiatives 9 In 2021, the Company undertook certain strategic initiatives as part of a long-term strategy to reduce expenses, fortify asset quality, and focus the Company’s loan growth efforts. These initiatives included closure of certain Bank branches, as well as efforts to improve processes and simplify the Company’s business model. The most significant strategic initiative undertaken was the cessation of new business development at ALC and the permanent closure of ALC’s 20 branch lending locations in Alabama and Mississippi to the public. ALC is continuing to service its remaining portfolio of loans from its headquarters in Mobile, Alabama. It is expected that the majority of ALC’s loans will be paid off by the end of 2023. The strategic initiatives have led to significant decreases in non-interest expense, including reductions in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and other expenses. As of March 31, 2022, the Company employed 161 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 175 as of December 31, 2021, and 265 as of March 31, 2021. Non-interest expense totaled $7.1 million in 1Q2022, compared to $7.4 million and $8.4 million in 4Q2021 and 1Q2021, respectively. Expense reductions are expected to contribute favorably to the Company’s earnings in future periods; however, revenues associated with loans at ALC will also decrease as the portfolio continues to pay down. As of March 31, 2022, ALC’s loan portfolio totaled $35.8 million, compared to $43.7 million as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of 18.1%. Interest and fees on ALC’s loans was reduced to $1.6 million in 1Q2022, compared to $2.0 million in 4Q2021, a decrease of 19.5%. The Company remains focused on growth in other earning asset categories, as well as ongoing efforts to reduce operating expenses and improve the Company’s efficiency over time. In 1Q2022, the Company brought its retail banking, technology and deposit operations functions under a single organizational structure led by Phillip Wheat, the Company’s Chief Information and Operations Officer. Under this structure, management expects to continue to improve the efficiency of its retail banking operation, while also improving the promotion and deployment of the Company’s digital products and services.
