The Corporation has an Audit Committee. All members are considered independent under Nasdaq listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the currently serving members are: Chairperson Lisa A. Knutson, D. Bruce Knox, Michael J. Crawford and Robert J. Fitzsimmons. Certain members of the Audit Committee are partners, controlling stockholders or executive officers of an organization that has a lending relationship with the banking affiliate of the Corporation, or individually, they maintain such relationships. The Corporation’s Board of Directors has determined that such lending relationships do not interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has determined that Lisa A. Knutson, a Certified Public Accountant (inactive), is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K and that she is independent as that term is used in Item 7 of Schedule 14A. The Corporation has adopted a formal charter and the Audit Committee has reviewed and assessed the adequacy of the written charter during the past year. The Audit Committee met 10 times in 2024.
