0%, a CET1 Capital ratio at least 6.5%, and a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of at least 5%. However, regardless of a financial institution’s ratios, the OCC may require increased capital ratios or impose dividend restrictions based on the other factors it considers in assessing a bank’s capital adequacy. Under the final capital rules that became effective on January 1, 2015, there was a requirement for a CET1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, which is in addition to the other minimum risk-based capital standards in the rule. Institutions that do not maintain this required capital buffer become subject to progressively more stringent limitations on the percentage of earnings that may be distributed to shareholders or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conversation buffer of 2.5% has been included in the minimum capital adequacy ratios as of March 31, 2025.On April 17, 2024, based on its supervisory profile, the Bank was notified by the OCC that it established individual minimum capital ratios (“IMCR”) for the Bank.

The Bank’s Board appointed a Compliance Committee in January 2025, as required, to oversee the progress and compliance with the OCC Agreement.  The Bank has been working to address each of the items identified in the OCC Agreement. The Company has completed the Private Placement in March 2025, which was critical to address the Capital Plan and Higher Minimums Articles and pivotal to the Strategic Plan Article in the OCC Agreement. On January 17, 2025, the
