Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) through its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the “Bank”), provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located within the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The Company is subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions that provide financial products and services. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements includes all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses, real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Developments

One Big Beautiful Bill Act. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States. The OBBBA tax provisions have multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others being phased in through 2027. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect that the OBBBA will have on the Company’s financial condition, but does not currently expect it will have a material impact on its results of operations.

Shelf Registration. On June 24, 2025, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on July 2, 2025. The shelf registration statement is intended to provide the Company with financial flexibility to raise capital from the offering of up to $150 million of any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, purchase units, subscription rights and units in one or multiple offerings while the shelf registration statement is effective.

Failed Sale-Leaseback/Financing Obligation. In March 2026, the Company transferred legal title to certain real estate and entered into a related lease and development arrangement with the buyer. The transaction did not qualify as a sale under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 because control did not transfer under ASC Topic 606 due to continuing involvement, including contractual provisions that affect the transfer of control. Accordingly, the Company continues to recognize the real estate within premises and equipment and recorded the $1.9 million of proceeds received as a financing obligation. The financing obligation is subsequently accounted for under the effective interest method and periodic payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the financing obligation. Proceeds received are presented as financing cash inflows and principal repayments as financing cash outflows in the statement of cash flows.

Pending Acquisition. On April 29, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire FSC Bancshares, Inc. in a cash-and-stock merger valued at approximately $28.3 million, with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Income Statement. In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this ASU require public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU addresses investors’ requests for more disaggregated expense information to better understand an entity's performance, better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. This ASU amends the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU No. 2024-03 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Commercial, financial, and agricultural	$	196,084	$	227,584
Real estate construction − residential	42,307		39,609
Real estate construction − commercial	85,914		83,846
Real estate mortgage − residential	370,185		369,636
Real estate mortgage − commercial	712,619		755,892
Installment and other consumer	9,251		10,225
Total loans held for investment	$	1,416,360	$	1,486,792

The Bank grants real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans to customers located within the Missouri communities surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. As such, the Bank is susceptible to changes in the economic environment in these communities. The Bank does not have a concentration of credit in any one geographic sector. Accrued interest on loans totaled $5.9 million and $6.8 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The total amount of accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost basis of loans presented above. Further, the Company has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable. At June 30, 2026, loans of $707.7 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is measured using a lifetime expected loss model that incorporates relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on loans with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis. Loans are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics including borrower type, collateral type and expected credit loss patterns. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, primarily large loans on non-accrual status, are evaluated on an individual basis. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from loans amortized cost basis to present the net amount

expected to be collected on the instrument. Expected recoveries are included in the allowance and do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Loans are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the balance has become uncollectible.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, unless the associated obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. This allowance is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with associated expense recognized as a component of the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. The liability for unfunded lending commitments utilizes the same model as the allowance for credit losses on loans, however, the liability for unfunded lending commitments incorporates an assumption for the portion of unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $1.5 million and $1.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Sensitivity in the Allowance for Credit Loss Model

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate that requires significant judgment including projections of the macroeconomic environment. The forecasted macroeconomic environment continuously changes, which can cause fluctuations in estimated expected losses.

Collateral-Dependent loans

Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Under the CECL methodology, for collateral-dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance on the fair value of collateral.

The allowance is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan’s collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and the loan’s amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the loan’s amortized cost, no allowance is necessary. The Company’s policy is to obtain current appraisals on any

significant pieces of collateral. Higher discounts are applied in determining fair value for real estate collateral in industries that are undergoing significant stress, or for properties that are specialized use or have limited marketability.

There have been no significant changes to the types of collateral securing the Company's collateral-dependent loans since December 31, 2025.

The amortized cost of collateral-dependent loans by class as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was as follows:


	Collateral Type

Commercial, financial, and agricultural	$	—	$	3,690	$	2,066

Real estate mortgage − commercial	1,332		—		278

Total	$	3,914	$	3,558	$	1,909

Credit Quality

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based upon an internal rating system reflecting management’s risk assessment.

•Pass - loans that are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell in a timely manner, of any underlying collateral.

•Watch - loans that have one or more weaknesses identified that may result in the borrower being unable to meet repayment terms or when the Company’s credit position could deteriorate at some future date.

•Special Mention - loans that have negative financial trends, or other weaknesses that if left uncorrected, could threaten the borrower’s capacity to meet its debt obligations. This is a transitional grade that is closely monitored by management for improvement or deterioration.

•Substandard - loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The substandard category includes non-accrual loans.

•Doubtful - loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values.

Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans

The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Loans are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, the ultimate collectability of interest or principal is no longer probable. In general, loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due. However, management considers many factors before placing a loan on non-accrual status, including the delinquency status of the loan, the overall financial condition of the borrower, the progress of management’s collection efforts and the value of the underlying collateral. Subsequent interest payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial condition of the borrower indicates that the timely collectability of interest and principal is probable and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six months.

The following table presents the recorded investment in non-accrual loans and loans past due over 90 days still on accrual by class of loans as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Loan Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

In the normal course of business, the Company may execute loan modifications with borrowers. These modifications are analyzed to determine whether the modification is considered concessionary, long-term and made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The Company’s modifications generally include interest rate adjustments, principal reductions, and amortization and maturity date extensions. If a loan modification is determined to be made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the loan is considered collateral-dependent and evaluated as part of the allowance for credit losses as described above in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this note.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not modify any loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company monitors loan payments on an on-going basis to determine if a loan is considered to have a payment default. Determination of payment default involves analyzing the economic conditions that exist for each customer and their ability to generate positive cash flows during the loan term.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company designates certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loans as held for sale. Loans held for sale are being carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The loans are primarily sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, PennyMac, and various other secondary market investors. Loans held for sale totaled $0.2 million at June 30, 2026 and $0.6 million at December 31, 2025.

(1)Certain hybrid instruments possessing characteristics typically associated with debt obligations.

The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. Agency bonds and notes, loan certificates guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, residential and commercial agency mortgage-backed securities, and agency collateralized mortgage obligations include securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, a U.S. government agency, and the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the FHLB, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

Debt securities with carrying values aggregating approximately $110.8 million and $101.5 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

There were no proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. All gains and losses recognized on equity securities during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were unrealized. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded net investment securities gains of approximately $0.3 million from called securities.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities classified as available-for-sale at June 30, 2026, by contractual maturity are shown below. Accrued interest on investments totaled $1.7 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The total amount of accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost basis of investments presented below.

The total available-for-sale portfolio consisted of approximately 396 securities at June 30, 2026. The portfolio included 347 securities having an aggregate fair value of $167.6 million that were in a loss position at June 30, 2026. The $22.9 million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2026 was caused by interest rate fluctuations.

The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. In the absence of changes in credit quality of these investments, the fair value is expected to recover on all debt securities as they approach their maturity date or re-pricing date, or if market yields for such investments decline. In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments over the period of recovery, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investment securities.

(5) Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s overall interest rate risk management, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility, including interest rate lock commitments, cash flow hedges and interest rate swap contracts. The notional amount does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties, rather the amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual agreements.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts sold to commercial customers who wish to modify their interest rate sensitivity. These swaps are offset by contracts simultaneously purchased by the Company from other financial dealer institutions with mirror-image terms. Because of the mirror-image terms of the offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in the fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The following table reflects the estimated fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments included in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets along with their respective notional amounts on a gross basis:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision to the effect that, if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default) on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

Collateral Requirements

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized or adequately-capitalized institution, then the Company could be required to post additional collateral.

Certain derivative transactions have collateral requirements, both at the inception of the trade, and as the value of each derivative position changes. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had recorded the obligation to collect cash collateral of $0.04 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $0.02 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2026, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $0.

(7) Leases

Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. The Company's leases primarily consist of office space, bank branches and bank equipment with original lease terms of generally 1 to 10 years. Lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in net occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 are shown in the table below.


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Repurchase Program

On June 5, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $10.0 million of its common stock, which replaced the Company’s prior common stock repurchase program. Pursuant to the repurchase program, management is given discretion to determine the number and pricing of the shares to be repurchased, as well as the timing of any such repurchases. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend on market and other conditions and may be made from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. The program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock. The Company

repurchased 12,000 common shares under its repurchase program during the first six months of 2026 at an average cost of $32.68 per share totaling $0.4 million. As of June 30, 2026, $8.0 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to the Company's current repurchase program.

On July 29, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the repurchase program to increase the authorized repurchase limit to $10.0 million.

(9) Share-Based Compensation

Equity-Based Compensation Plan

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company's shareholders approved the Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), which was previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to allow eligible participants of the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire or increase a proprietary and vested interest in the growth and performance of the Company. The Equity Plan is designed to assist the Company with attracting and retaining selected service providers by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the success and profitability of the Company. The terms of the Equity Plan provide for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, other equity-based awards and cash awards. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the Equity Plan is 203,000 shares. Eligible participants under the Equity Plan include all employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Equity Plan is currently administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee adopted a form of restricted stock unit award agreement (service-based vesting). The Company issues restricted share units (“RSUs”) to provide additional incentives to key officers, employees, and non-employee directors. Awards are granted as determined by the Compensation Committee. The service-based RSUs vest, and shares of common stock are issued, in equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the status of the Company's RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(10) Retirement Plans

Profit-sharing Plan

The Company's profit-sharing plan includes a matching 401(k) portion, in which the Company matches the first 3% of eligible employee contributions. The Company made annual contributions for the discretionary portion in an amount up to 6% of income before income taxes and before contributions to the profit-sharing and pension plans for all participants, limited to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, for each of the periods shown. In addition, employees were able to make additional tax-deferred contributions. Total expense recorded for the Company match was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The employer discretionary profit-sharing expense for the 401(k) plan was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Other Plans

On November 7, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”), effective as of January 1, 2018. The SERP provides select employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements with certain benefits upon retirement, termination of employment or death.

The accrued liability relating to the SERP was $1.6 million as of June 30, 2026, and the expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.02 million and $0.04 million, respectively, compared to $0.02 million and $0.04 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and is recognized over the required service period.

Pension

The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time and eligible employees hired before September 30, 2017. Beginning January 1, 2018, and for all retrospective periods presented, the Company adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Under the guidance, only the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is reported in the same income statement line item as salaries and benefits, and the remaining components are reported as other non-interest expense. An employer is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made in a particular year.

Effective July 1, 2017, the Company amended the pension plan to effectuate a “soft freeze” such that no individual hired (or rehired in the case of a former employee) by the Company after September 30, 2017, whether or not such individual is or was a vested member in the plan, will be eligible to be an active member and be entitled to accrue any benefits under the plan.

Components of Net Pension Cost (Income) and Other Amounts Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following items are components of net pension income for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

(1)The components of net periodic pension (income) other than the service cost and expected administrative expenses are included in other non-interest income.

Net periodic pension benefit (income) includes interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, the expected return on plan assets based on actuarially derived market-related values, and the amortization of net actuarial (gains) losses. Net periodic postretirement benefit costs include service costs, interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, and the amortization of prior service credits and net actuarial gains. Differences between expected and actual results in each year are included in the net actuarial gain or loss amount, which is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. The net actuarial gain or loss in excess of a 10% corridor is amortized in net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service period of active participants in the pension plan. The prior service credit is amortized over the average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees expected to receive benefits. Currently, there is no prior service cost or net transition (asset)/obligation to be amortized.

(11) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares that were outstanding during the period.

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2026		2025		2026		2025

Net income available to shareholders	$	7,326	$	6,101	$	13,069	$	11,484

Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	6,895,811		6,935,541		6,896,644		6,959,221



Effect of dilutive equity-based awards	10,686		9,523		9,210		8,292
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	6,906,497		6,945,064		6,905,854		6,967,513

Basic earnings per share	$	1.06	$	0.88	$	1.89	$	1.65
Diluted earnings per share	$	1.06	$	0.88	$	1.89	$	1.65

The dilutive effect of RSUs is reflected in diluted earnings per share unless the impact is anti-dilutive, by application of the treasury stock method. No RSUs were determined to be anti-dilutive during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under U.S. GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

(Unaudited)

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.

In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Valuation Methods for Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Available-for-Sale Securities

The fair value measurements of the Company’s investment securities are determined by a third party pricing service that considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value measurements are subject to management's independent verification to another pricing source for reasonableness each quarter. U.S. Treasury securities are classified as Level 1, and all other available-for-sale securities are classified as Level 2.

Other Investment Securities

Other investment securities include equity securities with readily determinable fair values and other investment securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Investments in FHLB stock and MIB stock, which do not have readily determinable fair values, are required for membership in those organizations. Equity securities that are not actively traded are classified in Level 2.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for impairment. The Company uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Derivative assets and liabilities include interest rate swaps. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative, which also includes a credit value adjustment for client swaps. An independent third-party valuation is used to verify and confirm these values, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Methods for Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Collateral-Dependent Loans

While the overall loan portfolio is not carried at fair value, the Company periodically records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan less estimated selling costs. In determining the value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

internal appraisals of property values depending on the size and complexity of the real estate collateral. Appraisals may be discounted based on the Company’s historical experience or other available information. The Company maintains staff trained to perform in-house evaluations and also to review third-party appraisal reports for reasonableness. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists. Values of all loan collateral are regularly reviewed by the executive loan committee. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

Other Real Estate and Repossessed Assets

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets consisted of loan collateral repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets are initially carried at fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state-certified appraisers. Like collateral-dependent loans, appraisals on OREO may be discounted based on the Company’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information available. During the holding period, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

Premises and Equipment Held for Sale, net

Premises and equipment held for sale, net, are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less disposal costs. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state certified appraisers. Valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. Subsequent write-downs and gains or losses on sales are recorded to (losses) gains on other real estate owned and other assets, net.

(13) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans, or exit price, is estimated by using the future value of discounted cash flows using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products and adjusted for market factors. The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products adjusted to be commensurate with the credit risk, overhead costs, and optionality of such instruments.

Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of the loans held for sale is the price at which they could be sold in the principal market at the measurement date, therefore the Company classifies these loans as Level 2.

Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks

The carrying amounts of short-term federal funds sold, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less.

Certificates of Deposit in Other Banks

Certificates of deposit are other investments made by the Company with other financial institutions that are carried at cost, which is equal to fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

For Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.

Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings

The fair value of subordinated notes and other borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash-flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.

A summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. The Company believes such commitments have been made on terms that are competitive in the markets in which it operates.

Limitations

The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in time based on market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets.

(Unaudited)

The allowance for credit losses associated with unfunded commitments and letters of credit is recorded within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments was $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The contractual amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments were as follows as of the dates indicated:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Commitments to extend credit	$	375,495	$	335,244


Standby letters of credit	29,361		88,457
Total	$	404,856	$	423,701

Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and equipment, and real estate.

The Company's forward loan sale commitments are related to mortgage loans held for sale. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The approximate remaining term of standby letters of credit ranged from one month to 2.7 years at June 30, 2026.

Pending Litigation

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal actions incidental to the Company’s past and current business activities. Based on the Company’s analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that these legal actions will materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in the near term. The Company records a loss accrual for all legal matters for which it deems a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some legal matters, which are at early stages in the legal process, have not yet progressed to the point where a loss is deemed probable or an amount can be estimated.

(15) Segment Information

The Company determines its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) views and analyzes each segment’s operations, performance and allocates resources. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the CODM. The CODM reviews the actual net income compared to budgeted net income on a monthly basis to evaluate segment performance, make decisions, and determine where to deploy capital. This analysis is also used for benchmarking performance against the Company's peers.

The Company previously reported under one segment. During 2025, the Company identified its Wealth Management business as a strategic opportunity and hired additional management resources to provide the structure for products and processes for this business. As a result, beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company identified its Wealth Management business as its own separate reporting segment and now reports two aggregated reporting segments, consisting of the Bank and its Wealth Management business, and the CEO is the CODM for both segments.

(16) Qualified Affordable Housing Tax Credit and Other Investments

The Company invested in a qualified affordable housing project utilizing the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. This investment is intended to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, facilitate the sale of affordable housing product offerings, and assist in achieving goals associated with the Community Reinvestment Act. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance of the investment for qualified housing projects was $0.8 million and $0, respectively. This balance is reflected in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the

consolidated balance sheets. Total unfunded commitments related to the affordable housing project investment was $3.9 million and $0 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company expects to fulfill the majority of the commitment over the next two years. The Company elected to use the proportional amortization method (“PAM”) to amortize the investment. As of June 30, 2026, the project had not begun generating tax credits so no amortization expense was taken during the period. The Company expects the project to begin generating tax credits in 2027.

The Company also invested in a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”). At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance of the investment was $0.2 million and $0, respectively. This balance is reflected in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Total unfunded commitments related to the SBIC investment totaled $1.8 million and $0 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company expects to fulfill a majority of the commitment over the next five years. The Company elected to use the equity method to account for this investment. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has not recorded any income or loss on the investment due to the first capital call occurring at quarter-end. The Company will evaluate the need to adjust the balance of the investment for earnings generated by the SBIC through the equity method in future periods.

(17) Pending Acquisition

On April 29, 2026, the Company announced its entry into a definitive agreement under which the Company will acquire FSC Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmers State Bank (collectively, “FSC”) in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $28.3 million. The business combination transaction is expected to result in the mergers of FSC Bancshares, Inc. with and into the Company and Farmers State Bank with and into the Bank. The acquisition will be accounted for under ASC Topic 805. FSC has nine branch locations located in northern Missouri. As of June 30, 2026, Farmers State Bank reported total assets of $383.7 million, which included gross loans of $303.5 million; total deposits of $343.6 million; and $2.0 million in net income. The Company anticipates there will be a core deposit intangible and goodwill recorded with this acquisition. The transaction is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to FSC shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

(18) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that may require recognition or disclosure through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategy, future performance and business of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), including, without limitation statements that are not historical in nature, and statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words believes, expects, may, will, should, could, anticipates, estimates, intends, plans, hopes or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, such possible events or factors such as: changes in economic conditions generally or in the Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, governmental legislation and regulation, tariffs and trade disruptions, fluctuations in interest rates, changes in liquidity requirements, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, changes in accounting and tax principles, estimates made on income taxes, competition with other entities that offer financial services, cybersecurity threats, economic or other disruptions caused by acts of terrorism, war or other conflicts, changes in geopolitical conditions, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wild fires, freezes, flooding and other man-made disasters, health emergencies, epidemics or pandemics, climate changes or other catastrophic events and such other factors as described in the forward-looking statements under the caption Risk Factors in Item 1A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), and in other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time. Other factors that have not been identified in this report could also have this effect. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speak only as of the date they were made. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or changes in its business, results of operations or financial condition over time. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Certain accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies and estimates require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected. The Company has identified certain accounting policies as “critical accounting policies and estimates,” consisting of those related to the allowance for credit losses, as described in the section captioned “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” incorporated by reference in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations included in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in the Company's application of critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2025.

Overview

Crucial to the Company’s community banking strategy is growth in its commercial banking services, retail mortgage lending and retail banking services. Through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, Hawthorn Bank (the “Bank”), the Company, with $1.77 billion in assets at June 30, 2026, provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services. The Bank's specialties include commercial banking for small and mid-sized businesses, including equipment, operating, commercial real estate, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, and personal banking services including real estate mortgage lending, installment and consumer loans, certificates of deposit, individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. The Company also provides other financial services through its Wealth Management business, including trust services, estate planning, investment and asset management services and a comprehensive suite of cash management services. Beginning with the first quarter of 2025, the Company's Wealth Management business is reported as a separate reporting segment, and the Company operates two reporting segments, consisting of the Bank and the Wealth Management business. The geographic areas in which the Company provides products and services include the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.

The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. Much of the Company's business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and residential mortgage lending. The Company's income from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancing activity.

The success of the Company's growth strategy depends primarily on the ability of its banking subsidiary to generate an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels and on acceptable terms without significant increases in non-interest expenses relative to revenues generated. The Company's financial performance also depends, in part, on its ability to manage various portfolios and to successfully introduce additional financial products and services by expanding new and existing customer relationships, utilizing improved technology, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the success of the Company's growth strategy depends on its ability to maintain sufficient regulatory capital levels during periods in which general economic conditions are unfavorable and despite economic conditions being beyond its control.

The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the extent provided by law. The operations of the Bank are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Periodic examinations of the Bank are conducted by representatives of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Such regulations, supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of depositors, rather than for the benefit of shareholders. The Company is subject to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

On April 29, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire FSC Bancshares, Inc. (“FSC”) in a cash-and-stock merger valued at approximately $28.3 million, with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to FSC shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Refer to Note 17, “Pending Acquisition”, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this pending transaction.

The Wealth Management segment was immaterial to the Company’s total consolidated operating results for the periods presented in this report. Accordingly, for presentation purposes, the financial information and discussion below is presented on an aggregated basis, except as otherwise noted. Refer to Note 15, “Segment Information,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the financial results of each segment.

Executive Summary

The Company has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC. In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Average Balance Sheet Data

Net interest income is the largest source of revenue resulting from the Company’s lending, investing, borrowing, and deposit gathering activities. It is affected both by changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amounts and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The following tables present average balance sheet data, net interest income, average yields of earning assets, average costs of interest bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin on an FTE basis for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Total non-interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 12.0%, to $13.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $12.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and increased $2.0 million, or 8.0%, to $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Salaries increased $0.8 million, or 14.1%, to $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and increased $0.8 million, or 7.1%, to $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is attributed to incentive payouts paid during the periods and increases in number of full-time equivalent employees.

Occupancy expense, net, decreased $0.1 million, or 9.3%, to $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and remained consistent at $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 primarily resulted from rental income received from renting a bank property that was held for sale. That property was sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Furniture and equipment expense increased $0.1 million, or 17.5%, to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and increased $0.1 million, or 6.5%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is attributed to an increase in maintenance fees paid during the quarter.

Legal, examination, and professional fees increased $0.5 million, or 120.6%, to $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and increased $0.8 million, or 89.6%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is attributed to legal and professional fees incurred for the acquisition of FSC Bancshares, Inc.

Postage, printing, and supplies decreased $0.1 million, or 40.9%, to $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and decreased $0.1 million, or 21.2%, to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is attributed to customer mailings sent in conjunction with an account consolidation project in the prior year quarter.

Income Taxes

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements was 18.0% and 18.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 18.3% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax-free revenues.

Lending and Credit Management

Interest earned on the loan portfolio is a primary source of interest income for the Company. Net loans represented 79.9% of total assets as of June 30, 2026 compared to 78.5% as of December 31, 2025.

Lending activities are conducted pursuant to an established loan policy approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Bank's credit review process is overseen by regional loan committees with established loan approval limits. In addition, the executive loan committee reviews all credit relationships in aggregate over an established dollar amount. The executive loan committee meets weekly and is comprised of senior managers of the Bank.

Major classifications within the Company’s held-for-investment loan portfolio as of the dates indicated are as follows:

Total Commercial Real Estate - Non Owner Occupied	$	581,701	100.0	%	$	614,620	100.0	%

The Company extends credit to its local community markets through traditional real estate mortgage products. The Company does not participate in credit extension to sub-prime residential real estate markets. The Company does not lend funds for transactions defined as “highly leveraged” by bank regulatory authorities or for foreign loans. Additionally, the Company does not have any concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed in the loan portfolio composition table.

Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio

Management, internal loan review and the executive loan committee formally review all loans in excess of certain dollar amounts (periodically established) at least annually. Loans in excess of $2.0 million in the aggregate and all adversely classified credits identified by management are reviewed by the executive loan committee. In addition, all other loans are reviewed on a risk weighted selection process. The executive loan committee reviews and reports to the Board of Directors, at scheduled meetings: past due, classified, and watch list loans in order to classify or reclassify loans as loans requiring attention, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. During this review, management will evaluate individual loans for expected credit losses when those loans do not share similar risk characteristics with loans evaluated using a collective (pooled) basis. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is individually analyzed and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, reserves are estimated as further discussed below.

Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and collectively analyzed. Management determined that segmenting loans not individually analyzed by the federal call report codes represents the most prudent way to consolidate loans by their associated risk qualities.

General reserves are recorded for collectively analyzed loans using a consistent methodology. Two different models are used for calculating the general reserve. The Discounted Cash Flow model considers quantitative peer group historic loss experience, forecasts over the estimated life of the loan pools, industry data, and qualitative or environmental factors, such as: lending policies and procedures; economic conditions; the nature, volume and terms of the portfolio; lending staff and management; past due loans; the loan review system; collateral values; concentrations of credit; and external factors. The Remaining Life model applies a long-term average loss rate calculated using peer data that is adjusted for qualitative or environmental factors such as those previously noted. The model used depends on the loan portfolio segment. Management believes, but there can be no assurance, that these procedures keep management informed of potential problem loans. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the ACL on loans included a qualitative adjustment of approximately $9.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively.

Net Loan Charge-Offs/Recoveries

The Company’s net charge-offs were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $0.05 million and $0.03 million of net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company designates certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loans as held for sale. Loans held for sale are being carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The loans are primarily sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, PennyMac and various other secondary market investors. There were $0.2 million of loans held for sale at June 30, 2026, and $0.6 million loans held for sale at December 31, 2025.

The Company generally does not retain long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans in its portfolio. Fixed rate loans conforming to standards required by the secondary market are offered to qualified borrowers but are not funded until the Company has a non-recourse purchase commitment from the secondary market at a predetermined price. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold approximately $18.1 million of loans to investors compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management

The role of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity to meet these demands is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally depositors. Due to the nature of services offered by the Company, management prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full-service relationships with customers as the primary sources of funding.

The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”), primarily made up of senior management, has direct oversight responsibility for the Company’s liquidity position and profile. A combination of daily, weekly, and monthly reports provided to management detail the following: internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, available pricing and market access to the financial markets for capital, and exposure to contingent draws on the Company’s liquidity.

The Company has a number of sources of funds to meet liquidity needs on a daily basis. The Company’s most liquid assets are comprised of available-for-sale investment securities, not including other debt securities, federal funds sold, and excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve. The following table shows the Company’s sources of funds as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025

Other interest bearing deposits	$	9,835	$	87,680
Certificates of deposit in other banks	1,000		1,000
Available-for-sale investment securities	233,476		209,939
Total	$	244,311	$	298,619

Federal funds sold and resale agreements normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio was $233.5 million at June 30, 2026 and included an unrealized net loss of $22.2 million. The portfolio includes projected maturities and mortgage-backed securities pay-downs of approximately $1.4 million over the next twelve months, which offer resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in the Company’s borrowings.

The Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, federal funds purchase lines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s unpledged securities in the available-for-sale portfolio totaled approximately $122.7 million and $108.4 million, respectively.

Total investment securities pledged for these purposes were as follows as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025

Federal Reserve Bank borrowings	$	8,367	$	8,288

Other deposits	102,395		93,177
Total pledged, at fair value	$	110,762	$	101,465

Liquidity is available from the Company’s base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, interest checking, savings, money market deposit accounts, and time deposits less than $250,000, less all brokered deposits under $250,000. At June 30, 2026, such deposits totaled $1.39 billion and represented 93.5% of the Company’s total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile and are often tied to other products of the Company through long lasting relationships.

Core deposits at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025

Non-interest bearing demand	$	416,389	$	423,568
Interest checking	332,732		372,595
Savings and money market	439,035		453,972
Other time deposits	203,864		213,008
Total	$	1,392,020	$	1,463,143

Estimated uninsured deposits totaled $310.8 million, including $92.1 million of certificates of deposit, at June 30, 2026, compared to $384.6 million, including $90.5 million of certificates of deposit, at December 31, 2025. The Company's brokered deposits were $4.0 million at June 30, 2026 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2025.

Other components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third-party sources and the availability of future credit. The Company’s outside borrowings are comprised of federal funds purchased, advances from the FHLB and subordinated notes. Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which the Company maintains approved credit lines. As of June 30, 2026, under agreements with these unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up to $35.0 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $7.9 million on a secured basis. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at June 30, 2026. The Company may periodically borrow additional short-term funds from the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window, although no such borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2026.

The Bank is a member of the FHLB and has access to credit products of the FHLB. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank had $29.3 million in outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. In addition, the Company has $49.5 million in outstanding subordinated notes issued to wholly-owned grantor trusts, funded by preferred securities issued by the trusts.

Borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025


Federal Home Loan Bank advances	$	29,291	$	102,000
Other borrowings	71		86
Subordinated notes	49,486		49,486

Total	$	78,848	$	151,572

The Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities to the Federal Reserve Bank, FHLB, and other correspondent banks as security to establish lines of credit and to borrow from these entities. Based on the type and value of collateral pledged, the FHLB establishes a collateral value from which the Company may draw advances against this collateral. This collateral is also used to enable the FHLB to issue letters of credit in favor of public fund depositors of the Company. The Federal Reserve Bank also establishes a collateral value of assets pledged to support borrowings from the discount window.

The following table reflects collateral value of assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to the Company as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


	June 30, 2026								December 31, 2025
(dollars in thousands)	FHLB		Federal Reserve Bank		Federal Funds Purchased Lines		Total		FHLB		Federal Reserve Bank		Federal Funds Purchased Lines		Total
Advance equivalent	$	427,009	$	7,891	$	35,000	$	469,900	$	437,998	$	7,796	$	35,000	$	480,794
Letters of credit	(24,825)		—		—		(24,825)		(81,625)		—		—		(81,625)
Advances outstanding	(29,290)		—		—		(29,290)		(102,000)		—		—		(102,000)
Total available	$	372,894	$	7,891	$	35,000	$	415,785	$	254,373	$	7,796	$	35,000	$	297,169

At June 30, 2026, loans of $707.7 million were pledged to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit. At June 30, 2026, investments with a market value of $8.4 million were pledged to secure federal funds purchase lines and borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Based upon the above, management believes the Company has more than adequate liquidity, both on balance sheet and through additional funding capacity with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal funds purchased lines, to meet future anticipated liquidity needs in both the short- and long-term.

Sources and Uses of Funds

Cash and cash equivalents were $32.7 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $104.3 million at December 31, 2025 and $100.3 million at June 30, 2025. The $67.6 million decrease since June 30, 2025 resulted from changes in the various cash flows produced by operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Cash flow provided by operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided total cash of $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Investing activities, consisting mainly of purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities, and changes in the level of the loan portfolio, provided total cash of $50.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The cash inflow primarily consisted of $11.9 million of proceeds from maturities and calls of available-for-sale securities, a $72.2 million net decrease in loans held for investment, and a $3.3 million net increase in FHLB stock, partially offset by $36.5 million in purchases of securities.

Financing activities used total cash of $140.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, resulting primarily from a $51.3 million decrease in interest bearing transaction accounts, a $7.5 million decrease in time deposits, a $7.2 million decrease in demand deposits, and a $72.7 million net decrease in FHLB advances, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase from financing obligations.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Company’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company’s liquidity. The Company had $404.9 million in unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2026. Although the Company’s current liquidity resources are adequate to fund this commitment level, the nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of such a funding demand is very low.

The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the Bank, which must provide its own liquidity to meet its operating needs. The Company’s ongoing liquidity needs primarily include funding its operating expenses, paying cash dividends to its shareholders and, to a lesser extent, repurchasing its shares of common stock. The Company paid cash dividends to its shareholders totaling approximately $2.8 million and $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. A large portion of the Company’s liquidity is obtained from the Bank in the form of dividends. The Bank declared $12.0 million and $10.0 million in dividends to the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $32.7 million and $25.5 million, respectively. Subject to declaration by the Company's Board of Directors, the Company expects to continue paying quarterly cash dividends as a part of its current capital allocation strategy. Future dividends will be subject to the determination, declaration and discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements.

to the Company's current repurchase program. On July 29, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the repurchase program to increase the authorized repurchase limit to $10.0 million.

On June 24, 2025, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on July 2, 2025. The shelf registration statement is intended to provide us with financial flexibility to raise capital from the offering of up to $150 million of any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, purchase units, subscription rights and units in one or multiple offerings while the shelf registration statement is effective.

On April 29, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire FSC Bancshares, Inc. in a cash-and-stock merger valued at approximately $28.3 million, with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to FSC shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Refer to Note 17, “Pending Acquisition”, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this pending transaction.

Capital Management

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and 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 of the Company and the Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

The Basel III regulatory capital reforms adopted by U.S. federal regulatory authorities (the “Basel III Capital Rules”), among other things, (i) establish the capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 Capital” instruments meeting stated requirements, (iii) require that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to other components of capital and (iv) define the scope of the deductions/adjustments to the capital measures.

Additionally, the Basel III Capital Rules require that the Company maintain a 2.50% capital conservation buffer with respect to each of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined in the regulations. Management believes, as of June 30, 2026, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Financial institutions are categorized as well capitalized or adequately capitalized, based on minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 and Tier 1 leverage ratios. As shown in the table below, the Company’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory definition of adequately capitalized as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Based upon the information in its most recently filed call report, the Bank met the capital ratios necessary to be well-capitalized. The regulatory authorities can apply changes in classification of assets, and such changes may retroactively subject the Company to changes in capital ratios. Any such change could reduce one or more capital ratios below well-capitalized status. In addition, a change may result in imposition of additional assessments by the FDIC or could result in regulatory actions that could have a material effect on our condition and results of operations. In addition, bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%.

Because the Bank had less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, the Company is allowed to continue including its trust preferred securities, all of which were issued prior to May 19, 2010, as Tier 1 capital.

Under the Basel III Capital Rules, at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company met all capital adequacy requirements and had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions, as shown in the following table as the dates indicated:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability and Interest Rate Risk

Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

The principal objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing earnings and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The asset and liability management function is under the guidance of the Asset Liability Committee from direction of the Board of Directors. The Asset Liability Committee meets quarterly to review the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes and local and national market conditions. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix, and investment positions of the Company.

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

Management analyzes the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer-term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point (“bps”) increase and a 200 and 100 bps decrease in interest rates on net interest income for the next 12 months based on the interest rate risk model at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.


	% Change in projected net interest income
Hypothetical shift in interest rates	June 30,	December 31,
(bps)	2026	2025
200	2.80%	(0.43)%
100	1.48	(0.09)
(100)	(1.67)	(0.49)
(200)	(4.50)	(1.58)

The change in the interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 is primarily due to moderately higher rates on interest bearing assets projected to reprice in the next 12 months and projected repricing speeds on interest bearing assets and liabilities. In an immediate and sustained shock, interest bearing assets and liabilities are projected to reprice at relatively the same pace. In up rate scenarios, interest bearing assets are projected to reprice moderately faster than interest bearing liabilities providing slightly more interest income in a rising rate market. Management believes the change in projected net interest income from interest rate shifts of up 200 bps and down 200 bps is an acceptable level of interest rate risk.

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than these projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions, and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

Effects of Inflation

The effects of inflation on financial institutions are different from the effects on other commercial enterprises since financial institutions make few significant capital or inventory expenditures, which are directly affected by changing prices. Because bank assets and liabilities are virtually all monetary in nature, inflation does not affect a financial institution as much as do changes in interest rates. The general level of inflation does underlie the general level of most interest rates, but interest rates do not increase at the rate of inflation as do prices of goods and services. Rather, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal policy.

Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate capital to asset ratio. In the opinion of management, inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company’s operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously reported, during the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the evaluation and application of U.S. GAAP to certain non-routine transactions. This material weakness was evidenced by errors identified in the accounting for a sale-leaseback transaction under ASC 842-40 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and in the accounting for a low-income housing tax credit investment under ASC 323-740 during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the material weakness had not been remediated. Management is in the process of developing remediation measures to address this material weakness, including enhancing its accounting review procedures for non-routine transactions, strengthening controls over the evaluation of technical accounting matters, engaging additional external resources with specialized accounting expertise when appropriate, and formalizing procedures for evaluating and documenting the accounting conclusions for non-routine transactions. Management may determine to take additional measures to address the material weakness or modify the remediation efforts described above. The material weakness will be considered remediated after applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded that the controls are effective.

Notwithstanding the material weakness, and based on additional analyses and other procedures management performed, we have concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of each of the dates, and for each of the periods, presented herein. The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements or require any restatement of our consolidated financial statements for any prior periods.

It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all circumstances.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company's Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table summarizes the purchases made by or on behalf of the Company or certain affiliated purchasers of shares of the Company's common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2026:


Period	Total Number of Shares (or Units) Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share (or Unit)		Total Number of Shares (or Units) Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares (or Units) that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)
April 2026	—	$	—	—	$	8,037,685
May 2026	—	—		—	8,037,685
June 2026	—	—		—	8,037,685
Total	—	$	—	—	$	8,037,685

(1) On June 5, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $10.0 million of its common stock, which replaced the Company’s prior common stock repurchase program. Pursuant to the repurchase program, management is given discretion to determine the number and pricing of the shares to be repurchased by the Company from time to time, as well as the timing of any such repurchases. The program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock. The Company did not repurchase any common shares under its repurchase programs during the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, $8.0 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to the Company's current repurchase program. On July 29, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the repurchase program to increase the authorized repurchase limit to $10.0 million.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders and repurchase shares is affected by the Company's financial condition and liquidity, general corporate law requirements and the regulations and policies of U.S. federal regulatory authorities applicable to bank holding companies, including the Basel III Capital Rules. The Company's principal source of funds to pay dividends on its common stock and to repurchase shares, other than further issuances of securities, is dividends received from the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company depends on the earnings and financial condition of the Bank and various business considerations. In addition, the Bank is subject to federal and state laws limiting the payment of dividends, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Missouri banking law. Future dividends declared and paid by the Company are subject to the determination, declaration and discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
