Regulatory Capital Requirements

Note 9. Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company is 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 financial statements.

On September 17, 2019, the federal banking agencies jointly finalized a rule that became effective July 1, 2020 and was intended to provide for an optional, simplified measure of capital adequacy, the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework, for qualifying community banking organizations, consistent with Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule was effective on January 1, 2020 and allows qualifying community banking organizations to calculate a leverage ratio to measure capital adequacy beginning with their March 31, 2020 Call Reports. The Company opted into the CBLR framework with its Call Report filed with the federal banking agencies for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Under the final rule, if a qualifying community banking organization opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework, it will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the “prompt corrective action” regulations described above and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital.

The main components and requirements of the community bank leverage ratio framework are as follows:

 

Tier 1 Capital Leverage ratio greater than 9.00%;
Less than $10.0 billion in average total consolidated assets;
Off-balance-sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets;
Trading assets plus trading liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets; and
Not an advanced approaches banking organization.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and GBank were in compliance with the CBLR requirements. The table below presents a summary of the main components and requirements of the CBLR:

Additionally, State of Nevada banking regulations restrict distribution of the net assets of the Company. These regulations require the sum of the Company’s stockholders’ equity and allowance for credit losses to be at least six percent of the average of the Company’s total daily deposit liabilities for the preceding sixty days. As a result of these regulations, $68.5 million and $68.2 million of the Company’s stockholders’ equity was restricted as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
