A reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure is established for unfunded commitments and is included in other liabilities. BancShares estimates the expected funding amounts and applies its probability of obligor default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) models to those expected funding amounts to estimate the reserve. The reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure was $265 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $13 million compared to $278 million at December 31, 2024 and of $23 million compared to $288 million at June 30, 2025. Refer to the “Provision for Credit Losses” section of this MD&A for further discussion. Refer to Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies for information relating to off-balance sheet commitments. 

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is inherent in any business. BancShares has defined a moderate risk appetite and a balanced approach to risk taking with a philosophy that does not preclude higher risk business activities commensurate with acceptable returns while meeting regulatory objectives. Through the comprehensive Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework and Statement, senior management has primary responsibility for day-to-day management of the risks we face with accountability of and support from all associates. Senior management applies various strategies to reduce the risks to which BancShares may be exposed, with effective challenge by independent risk management and oversight by management committees. The Board strives to ensure that risk management is a part of our business culture and that our policies and procedures to identify, assess, respond, and monitor risk are part of the decision-making process. The Board’s role in risk oversight is an integral part of our overall Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework. The Board administers its risk oversight function primarily through its Risk Committee.

The Risk Committee structure is designed to allow for information flow, effective challenge and timely escalation of risk-related issues. The Risk Committee monitors adherence to our Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework and Statement and provides quarterly updates to the Board on risk management. Our Chief Risk Officer also provides regular reports to the Risk Committee and the Board. Management and independent risk functions make regular reports to the Risk Committee on key risk areas, including credit, market, capital, liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic
