The Company invests in low income housing tax credit and solar tax funds that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The Company accounts for these investments by amortizing the cost of tax credit investments over the life of the investment using a proportional amortization method and tax credit investment amortization expense is a component of the provision for income taxes.

On June 27, 2025, California Senate Bill 132 ("SB 132") was passed and signed into law by Governor Newsom. Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, SB 132 amends California Revenue and Tax Code ("CRTC") to require financial institutions to apportion income using the single sales factor formula. Prior to this change, businesses were required by CRTC Section 25128 (b) to use an evenly weighted three-factor apportionment formula contemplating a payroll factor, property and sales factor. The impact on the Company's tax expense as of June 30, 2025 is not material. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this bill on its deferred tax assets and liabilities.
