 Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations or our tax positions may adversely affect our income taxes, financial condition or results of operations.

Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are subject to audit by various tax authorities. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we recognize income tax benefits, net of required valuation and uncertain tax position allowances. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than reflected in historical income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed as a result of an audit or litigation, an adverse effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period or periods for which that determination is made could result.

During the third quarter of 2025, we completed a balance sheet repositioning focused on our investment securities portfolio in which we reclassified our held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale and then sold approximately $3.2 billion (amortized cost basis) of investment securities. The sale of investment securities resulted in a realized after-tax loss of approximately $625.6 million (based on actual tax rate of 21.946%).

We expect that the losses described above should be entitled to ordinary treatment. However, the Internal Revenue Service could determine that the losses described above should not be entitled to ordinary treatment, in which case we could be subject to material amounts of taxes which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
