| Restricted Investments in Stock | . RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS IN STOCK
Restricted investment in stocks includes Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) with a carrying cost of $3,453,000, Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) stock with a carrying cost of $72,000, VISA Class B-3 and Class C stock with a carrying cost of $0, and Senior Housing Crime Prevention Investment Corporation ("SHCPFIC") preferred stock of $1,000,000 at June 30, 2026. FHLB and ACBB stock were issued to the Bank as a requirement to facilitate the Bank’s participation in borrowing and other banking services. Due to the Victory Merger, QNB acquired $611,000 of FHLB and $60,000 of ACBB stock. QNB also acquired $781,000 of Federal Reserve Bank stock which was redeemed during the second quarter of 2026. The SHCPFIC stock was issued to the Bank to enable its participation in a Community Reinvestment Act qualified investment. The Bank owns 100 shares of preferred stock of SHCPFIC. These shares are not transferable without the consent of SHCPFIC and do not have a readily-determinable fair value. The Bank’s investment in FHLB stock may fluctuate, as it is based on the member banks’ use of FHLB’s services.
The Bank has a $2,762,000 non-controlling investment in a discrete class of non-voting limited liability company membership interests issued by National Energy Improvement Fund, LLC (“NEIF”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company licensed in Pennsylvania as a consumer discount company. The proceeds of the investment will be used by NEIF to fund a State-sponsored consumer loan program, the KEEP Home Energy Loan Program, designed to assist Pennsylvania homeowners in reducing their energy costs.
As noted in Footnote 7 above, Visa, Inc. commenced their second exchange offer for all of its outstanding shares of Class B-2 common stock for a combination of Class B-2 and Class C common shares. At June 30, 2026, QNB held 1,625 Class B-3 and 408 Class C common shares; the original shares were necessary to participate in Visa services in support of the Bank’s credit card, debit card, and related payment programs (permissible activities under banking regulations) as a member institution. Following the resolution of Visa’s covered litigation, shares of Visa’s Class B-3 stock will be converted to Visa Class A shares using a conversion factor (1.4953 as of June 25, 2026), which is periodically adjusted to reflect VISA’s ongoing litigation costs. There is a very limited market for this stock, as only current owners of Class B-3 shares are permitted to transact in Class B-3. The Class C shares are restricted and will converted to marketable Class A shares over the next quarter as the restrictions are released. Due to the lack of orderly trades and public information of such trades, Visa Class B-3 stock did not have a readily determinable fair value at June 30, 2026. Due to the restrictions on the Class C shares, they will not have a readily determinable fair value until they are converted to Class A shares.
These restricted investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment periodically. As of June 30, 2026, there was no impairment associated with these shares. |
