Determination of the CODM

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO makes the overall decisions about the Company’s resource allocation and assesses the performance of the Company.
Determination and Identification of operating segments
The CODM manages the Company as one operating segment: the consolidated Company as one entity. All decisions regarding the allocation of financial, operational, and other resources are managed under this one segment. As part of the determination for the allocation of resources, the CODM regularly reviews net income as the measure of profit or loss. In addition, as part of the CODM’s assessment of the performance of the consolidated entity, the CODM also reviews the consolidated financial statements for significant expenses which include both cash and noncash items, such as amortization and depreciation and stock-based compensation. For more information on the significant components of net income or any significant cash or noncash items, refer to our accompanying consolidated financial statements or the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within. The measure of assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
Segment results
As the Company’s consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and the Company is managed on a single operating business segment, we collectively refer to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Segment Results for the measures of consolidated profit or loss, as well as consolidated total assets.

Estimates
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: (i) the determination of the allowance for credit losses; (ii) the fair values of loans, securities and derivative contracts; (iii) the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance; and (iv) the determination of whether the amount of deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. Management believes that these estimates are appropriate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Issued and Adopted
New Guidance on Purchased Loans
In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to certain purchased loans. This guidance expands the use of the gross‑up approach for measuring credit losses at acquisition for certain purchased loans and eliminates the recognition of a Day 1 credit loss expense for those loans. Under this guidance, entities are required to account for acquired loans that meet certain criteria at acquisition, referred to as purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”), by recognizing them at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses.

PSLs are purchased non-credit‑deteriorated loans, excluding credit cards, obtained in a business combination or acquired more than 90 days after origination through qualifying asset acquisitions or upon consolidation of non‑business variable interest entities.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026; early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance, effective January 1, 2026 and applied it prospectively. As a result of this adoption, for PSL loans acquired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, including residential and commercial loans originated at least 90 days prior to acquisition, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, at the date of acquisition.
