REGULATORY CAPITAL

13.REGULATORY CAPITAL

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to savings and loan holding companies.

 

Federal banking regulations require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets, as set forth in the table below. Additionally, community banking institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses.

 

At December 31, 2025, we exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements including the capital conservation buffer. As of December 31, 2025, the most recent notification from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change our category.

 

Our actual capital ratios of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are also presented in the following table.

On April 22, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the 2025 Plan, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of its common stock, or approximately 4.8%, of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock, upon the completion of the 2024 Plan. On June 3, 2025, the Company announced the completion of its 2024 Plan under which the Company repurchased a total of 1.0 million shares at an average price per share of $8.79.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $11.80. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 599,853 shares of its common stock under the 2025 Plan and the 2024 Plan, as applicable, at an average price per share of $9.73. As of December 31, 2025, there were 872,465 shares of common stock available for repurchase under the 2025 Plan.

 

We are subject to dividend restrictions imposed by various regulators, including a limitation on the total of all dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company in any calendar year, to an amount that shall not exceed the Bank’s net income for the current year, plus its net income retained for the two previous years, without regulatory approval. At December 31, 2025, the Bank had $10.6 million in retained earnings available for payment of dividends without prior regulatory approval. In addition, the Bank may not declare or pay dividends on, and we may not repurchase, any of our shares of common stock if the effect thereof would cause shareholders’ equity to be reduced below applicable regulatory capital maintenance requirements or if such declaration, payment or repurchase would otherwise violate regulatory requirements. The Bank will be prohibited from paying cash dividends to the Company to the extent that any such payment would reduce the Bank’s capital below required capital levels. Accordingly, $164.4 million and $158.7 million of our equity in the net assets of the Bank was restricted at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
