**Shore Bancshares, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(Unaudited)**

**Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation**

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to in these Notes as the "Company"), with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders' equity.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report").

**Nature of Operations**

The Company engages in the banking business through Shore United Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), a national banking association with trust powers. The Company's primary source of revenue is derived from interest earned on commercial, residential mortgage and other loans, and fees charged in connection with lending and other banking services located in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The Company engages in financial service offerings through Wye Financial Partners and offers corporate trustee services through Wye Trust, a division of the Bank. The Bank also conducts secondary market lending activities through a division of the Bank. Mid-Maryland Title Company, Inc. (the "Title Company"), engaged in title work related to real estate transactions. The Title Company ceased conducting real estate closings effective March 31, 2025.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments have been included for a fair presentation of this interim financial information.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity's applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

There were 114 AFS debt securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis, with unrealized losses totaling $7.3 million as of September 30, 2025. The Company concluded that a credit loss does not exist in its AFS securities portfolio as of September 30, 2025, and no impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were primarily caused by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company's mortgage-backed securities are issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.

All HTM and AFS securities were current with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

All of the securities with unrealized losses in the portfolio have modest duration risk, low credit risk and minimal losses when compared to total amortized cost. The unrealized losses on debt securities that exist are the result of market changes in interest rates since original purchase and are not related to credit concerns. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity for debt securities, the Company considers the unrealized losses to be temporary. There were 114 AFS and 173 HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2025. There were 111 AFS and 187 HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024. Net unrealized losses of the AFS securities totaled $6.5 million and $10.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The overall quality of the Bank's loan portfolio is primarily assessed using the Bank's risk-grading scale. This review process is assisted by frequent internal reporting of loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Credit quality indicators are adjusted based on management's judgment during the quarterly review process.

Consumer credit cards are monitored based on a borrower payment history. Credit card loans are classified as performing and are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. As of September 30, 2025, there were two credit cards that were evaluated based on economic conditions specific to the loans or borrowers, and were downgraded to substandard and nonperforming.

Loans subject to risk rating are graded on a scale of one to ten.

Ratings 1 thru 6 – Pass – Ratings 1 thru 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent-low to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.

Rating 7 – Special Mention – These credits have potential weaknesses due to economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit. Financing alternatives may be limited and/or command higher risk interest rates. Special mention loan relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 8 – Substandard – Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans are the first adversely classified loans on the Bank's watchlist. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank may estimate a specific reserve in the credit loss allowance analysis and/or place the loan on nonaccrual. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are nonperforming bankruptcies. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 9 – Doubtful – Doubtful assets have many of the same characteristics of substandard with the exception that the Bank has determined that loss is not only possible but is probable. The amount of loss is not discernible due to factors such as merger, acquisition, or liquidation; a capital injection; a pledge of additional collateral; the sale of assets; or alternative refinancing plans. Credits receiving a doubtful classification are required to be on nonaccrual. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 10 – Loss – Loss assets are uncollectible or of little value.

***<u>Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty</u>***

Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reduction, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, term extensions, and other combinations of actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, one loan modification in the form of an interest rate reduction was made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, ten loan modifications in the form of interest rate reductions were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, zero loan modifications were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no defaults on loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the preceding 12 months.

As of September 30, 2025, ten commercial real estate loans with an aggregate balance of $6.8 million with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the preceding 12 months were classified as current accrual and current nonaccrual, of which $6.6 million were for commercial real estate loans, $177 thousand were for commercial loans and $33 thousand were for residential real estate loans.

<u>Foreclosure Proceedings</u>

There were $124 thousand of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure as of September 30, 2025 and $124 thousand as of December 31, 2024. There were $93 thousand of commercial real estate loans collateralized by commercial real estate that were in the process of foreclosure as of September 30, 2025 and $554 thousand as of December 31, 2024.

***<u>Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") and Repossessed Assets</u>***

OREO and repossessed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer from loans to foreclosed assets, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The Company had OREO and repossessed asset balances of $120 thousand and $3.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and $179 thousand and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively.

***<u>Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")</u>***

Mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained and the MSRs are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. Subsequently the MSRs are amortized to the income statement in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. No impairment was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company recognized net servicing income of $147 thousand and $425 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized net servicing income of $251 thousand and $81 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The fair value of MSRs were determined using discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 10.0% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The valuation on MSRs was not material at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Depending on the stratification of the specific mortgage servicing right, prepayment speeds ranged from 6.08% to 9.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 5.69% to 8.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The associated weighted-average default rates were 0.14% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

**Note 5 – Leases**

Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

The Company's long-term lease agreements for branches and offices are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

The following tables present information about the Company's leases as of and for the periods presented.

At September 30, 2025, subordinated debentures consisted of $25.0 million of long-term debt issued by the Company in August 2020, and $19.5 million of long-term debt assumed as a result of the merger with TCFC. As of September 30, 2025, the recorded balance of subordinated debt issued by the Company and the assumed subordinated debt from TCFC, net of unamortized issuance costs and fair value discounts, were $25.0 million and $19.4 million, respectively. The Company has the option to redeem the subordinate notes in part or whole as of September 1, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, 80% of the subordinated debt was considered Tier 2 capital under current regulatory guidelines.

The Company assumed trust preferred securities in the aggregate of $33.0 million as a result of the merger with TCFC in 2023 and the acquisition of Severn in 2021. Trust preferred securities consisted of $20.6 million issued by Severn Capital Trust I, $7.2 million issued by Tri-County Capital Trust I and $5.2 million issued by Tri-County Capital Trust II. The recorded balance of the junior subordinated debt securities of Severn Capital Trust I at September 30, 2025 was $18.9 million, net of the unamortized fair value adjustment of $1.7 million. At September 30, 2025, the junior subordinated debt securities of Tri-County Capital Trust I and Tri-County Capital Trust II had a recorded balance of $6.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, which are presented net of the unamortized fair value adjustments of $523 thousand and $678 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the entire amount of trust preferred securities debt is considered Tier 2 capital under current regulatory guidelines.

The Company may periodically borrow from a correspondent federal funds line of credit arrangement, under a secured reverse repurchase agreement, or from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") to meet short-term liquidity needs. There were $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings from the FHLB at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The $50.0 million FHLB advance originated on May 7, 2024 was for an initial term of 18-months at a rate of 4.79%. The Company did not have any short-term borrowings from the FHLB at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Further information on these obligations is provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Note 8 – Derivatives**

The Company maintains and accounts for derivatives, in the form of interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") and mandatory forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company recognizes gains and losses through mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

IRLCs on mortgage loans that the Company intends to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. The Company is exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan is locked in until the time the loan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment, closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 120 days, however, this period may be longer for construction to permanent loans that are originated with the intent of selling in the secondary market upon permanent financing. For these IRLCs and closed inventory in loans held for sale, the Company attempts to protect itself from changes in interest rates through the use of to be announced ("TBA") securities, which are forward contracts, as well as, to a significantly lesser degree, loan level commitments in the form of best efforts and mandatory forward contracts. These assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

The following table provides information pertaining to the carrying amounts of the Company's derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

**Note 10 – Regulatory Capital Requirements**

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal 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 financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks' assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (leverage ratio). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the Bank's primary regulator categorized the Bank, as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change the Bank's classification. To be categorized as "well-capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum CET1, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios, and Tier 1 leverage ratios, which are outlined in the table below.

The following table presents the capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

____________________________________

(1)Applies to the Bank only.

(2)Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets (Leverage) has no capital conservation buffer defined. The PCA well-capitalized threshold is defined as 5.00%.

As of September 30, 2025, both the Company and the Bank satisfy the capital conservation buffer requirements applicable to them. The lowest ratio at the Company is the Tier 1 Capital to RWA, which was 4.82% above the minimum buffer ratio and, at the Bank, the lowest ratio was the Total Capital to RWA, which was 4.75% above the minimum buffer ratio.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common stockholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company's primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the Federal Reserve Bank, cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At September 30, 2025, the Bank could pay dividends to the Company to the extent of its earnings, so long as it maintained required capital ratios.

**Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements**

Accounting guidance under GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, along with other mortgage-related items identified in the recurring fair value table below. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans, repossessed assets and OREO (foreclosed assets). These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Under fair value accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are grouped at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine their fair values. These hierarchy levels are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

**Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis**

<u>Available for Sale Securities</u>

Fair value measurement of AFS securities is based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include present value of future cash flows, prepayment assumptions, credit loss assumptions and other factors. The Company classifies its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, if any, as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and it classifies its investments in U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities as Level 2.

<u>Equity Securities</u>

Fair value measurement for equity securities is based on quoted market prices retrieved by the Company via online resources. Although these securities have readily available fair market values, the Company determined that they should be classified as level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy due to not being considered traded in a highly active market.

<u>Loans Held for Sale</u>

Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which is determined based on Mark to Trade for allocated/committed loans or Mark to Market analysis for unallocated/uncommitted loans based on third-party pricing models (Level 2).

<u>IRLCs</u>

The Company utilizes a third-party specialist model to estimate the fair value of IRLCs, which are valued based upon mortgage securities (TBA) prices less estimated costs to process and settle the loan. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower (Level 3).

<u>Forward Contracts</u> 

To avoid interest rate risk, the Company hedges the open locked/closed position with TBA forward trades. On a regular basis, the Company allocates disbursed loans to mandatory commitments with government-sponsored enterprises and private investors delivering the loans within 120 days of origination to maximize interest earnings. For a small percentage of business, the Company enters into best efforts forward sales commitments with investors at the time it makes an IRLC to a borrower. Once a loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitments convert to mandatory forward sales commitments. The mandatory commitments are derivatives, and the Company measures and reports them at fair value. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a Level 2 input. The Company has elected to measure and report best efforts commitments at fair value using a valuation methodology similar to that used for mandatory commitments.

Market assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity's residential mortgage derivatives, inclusive of IRLCs, Closed Loan Inventory, TBA derivative trades, and Mandatory Forwards may be subject to investor overlays that may result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Generally such overlays are announced with advanced notice in order to include the risk adjuster, however there are times when announcements are mandated resulting in a lower fair value measurement. Additionally market assumptions such as spec pool payups may result in a significantly higher fair value measurement at time of loan allocation to specific trades.

**Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis**

<u>Individually Evaluated Collateral-Dependent Loans</u>

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic18fddf028ad4c2a8d4ba45d57ecc213_7)</u>

Loans for which repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, where applicable. Accordingly, collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

<u>OREO (Foreclosed Assets)</u>

Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed assets included in Level 3 are determined by independent market-based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to the initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

<u>Repossessed Assets</u>

All repossessed assets are recorded at lower of the estimated fair value of the properties, less expected selling costs, or the carrying amount of the defaulted loans. From time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on current appraised value of an asset. The Company considers any valuation inputs related to repossessed assets to be Level 3 inputs. Fair value adjustments for these assets are recorded in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

<u>Other Assets Held for Sale</u>

Other assets held for sale are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. The fair value is determined based on the appraisal value, listing price of the property or collateral provided by independent appraisers, and is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, these assets are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair value adjustments for these assets are recorded in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The following tables set forth the Company's assets subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that are valued at lower of cost or market. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

**Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Financial instruments require disclosure of fair value information, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, when it is practical to estimate the fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contractual obligation which requires the exchange of cash. Certain items are specifically excluded from the financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements, including the Company's common stock, OREO, premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities.

The following tables present the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Fair values for September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were estimated using an exit price notion.

**Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies**

In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of its customers, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit and other commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the letters of credit and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to make loans are generally made for a period of 90 days or less. As of September 30, 2025, the Company's outstanding fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 6.49% to 9.24%.

The following table provides information on commitments outstanding at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Bank had a reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $2.1 million and $1.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The reserve was estimated based on the historic losses experienced by the Company. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the required funding of these exposures is uncollectible. While this evaluation is completed on a regular basis, it is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation arising from banking, financial and other activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the future liability, if any, arising out of current proceedings will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, operating results, or liquidity.

**Note 14 – Earnings per Common Share**

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (stock-based awards). The following table provides information relating to the calculation of earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

There were zero anti-dilutive unvested restricted stock and performance stock unit awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. There were 483 and zero anti-dilutive unvested restricted stock and performance stock unit awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 **Note 15 – Revenue Recognition**

Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities.

**Service Charges on Deposit Accounts**

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company's performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.

Check orders and other deposit account-related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company's performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers' accounts.

**Trust and Investment Fee Income**

Trust and investment fee income primarily comprise fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company's performance obligation is generally satisfied over time, and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers' accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives.

Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company's performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

**Other Noninterest Income**

Other noninterest income consists of fees, exchange, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Fees and other service charges primarily comprise debit and credit card income, automated teller machine ("ATM") fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income primarily comprises interchange fees earned whenever the Company's debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Mastercard and Visa. ATM fees are primarily

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic18fddf028ad4c2a8d4ba45d57ecc213_7)</u>

generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier's checks, and other services. The Company's performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**Note 16** – **Segment Reporting**

The Company's reportable segment is determined by the Chief Executive Officer, who is designated the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), based upon information provided about the Company's product and services offered. The segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance of product and customers are similar. The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company's business components such as revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the Company's segment and in determination of allocated resources. While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial services operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Refer to the "Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. These statements are evidenced by terms such as "anticipate," "estimate," "should," "expect," "believe," "intend," and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "should," "could," or "may." Although forward-looking statements reflect management's good faith beliefs and projections, they are not guarantees of future performance and they may not prove true. These forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, below are certain factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the strength of the United States ("U.S.") economy and general economic conditions, (including the interest rate environment, government economic and monetary policies, the strength of global financial markets and inflation/deflation and supply chain issues), whether national or regional, and conditions in the lending markets in which we participate that may have an adverse effect on the demand for our loans and other products, our credit quality and related levels of nonperforming assets and loan losses, and the value and salability of the real estate that we own or that is the collateral for our loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability to effectively manage the information technology systems, including third-party vendors, cyber or data privacy incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches, and risk related to the development and use of artificial intelligence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• results of examinations of us by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses or to write-down assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changing bank regulatory conditions, policies or programs, whether arising as new legislation or regulatory initiatives, which could lead to restrictions on activities of banks generally, or our subsidiary bank in particular, more restrictive regulatory capital requirements, increased costs, including deposit insurance premiums, regulation or prohibition of certain income producing activities or changes in the secondary market for loans and other products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in market rates and prices may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competitive factors among financial services organizations, including product and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified banking professionals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of acquisitions we have made or may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions, and/or the failure to effectively integrate an acquisition target into our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the growth and profitability of noninterest or fee income being less than expected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of any change in federal government enforcement of federal laws affecting the cannabis industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic18fddf028ad4c2a8d4ba45d57ecc213_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in U.S. trade policies, including the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of governmental efforts to restructure or adjust the U.S. financial regulatory system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of recent or future changes in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") insurance assessment rate or the rules and regulations related to the calculation of the FDIC insurance assessment amount, including any special assessments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effects of federal government shutdowns, debt ceiling standoff, or other uncertainty regarding fiscal and governmental policies of the U.S. federal government;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• climate change and other catastrophic events or disasters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts of terrorism, and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• and other factors that may affect our future results.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report") filed with SEC and available at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov).

The Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the result of revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The Company's most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8. of the 2024 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to consolidated financial statements and in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans is a critical accounting policy. This policy is considered critical because it relates to an accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

**Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans**

The ACL represents management's best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The ACL is established through a provision for credit losses and is increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management's assessments confirm that the Company will not collect the full amortized cost basis of a loan. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using a cash flow methodology, and includes considerations of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may affect collection of the recorded balances. The Company assesses an ACL to groups of loans which share similar risk characteristics or on an individual basis, as deemed appropriate. Changes in the ACL on loans and the related provision for credit losses can materially affect financial results. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for loans in the portfolio.

The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside the Company's control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While management makes every effort to utilize the best information available in making its assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any one factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.

The Company's management reviews the adequacy of the ACL on loans on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8. of the 2024 Annual Report for additional details concerning the determination of the ACL on loans.

**OVERVIEW**

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $14.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, compared to $15.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. The Company had net income of $11.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024.

**Third Quarter 2025 Highlights**

**• Return on Average Assets ("ROAA")** – The Company reported ROAA of 0.95% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 1.03% for the second quarter of 2025 and 0.77% for the third quarter of 2024. Non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") ROAA<sup>(1)</sup> was 1.05% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 1.15% for the second quarter of 2025 and 0.90% for the third quarter of 2024.

**• Net Income** – Net income for the third quarter of 2025 decreased $1.2 million to $14.3 million from $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net income decreased primarily due to lower noninterest income of $1.6 million driven by reduced mortgage banking activity and a higher provision for loan losses of $1.5 million due to a large marine loan write-off, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.4 million. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $43.6 million, compared to $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income due to loans repricing favorably coupled with a lower cost of deposits during the period.

• **Net Interest Margin ("NIM")** – Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 increased $1.4 million to $48.7 million from $47.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. NIM increased 7 basis points ("bps") to 3.42% during the third quarter of 2025 from 3.35% in the second quarter of 2025. NIM excluding accretion<sup>(1)</sup> increased for the comparable periods from 3.10% to 3.22%. Excluding accretion interest, loan yields increased 6 bps and funding costs decreased 6 bps for the comparable periods. Net interest income increased due to modest loan growth coupled with a lower cost of deposits. These favorable changes were partially offset by a lower yield on investments and lower average deposits with other institutions.

**• Book Value per Share –** Book value per share increased to $17.27 at September 30, 2025 from $16.94 at June 30, 2025 and $16.00 at September 30, 2024.

**• Asset Quality** – Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.45% at September 30, 2025, an increase from 0.33% at June 30, 2025 and 0.27% at September 30, 2024. Classified assets to total assets were 0.83% at September 30, 2025, an increase when compared to 0.37% at June 30, 2025 and 0.39% at September 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $59.6 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $57.9 million at December 31, 2024 and $58.7 million at September 30, 2024. The ACL as a percentage of loans increased to 1.22% at September 30, 2025 compared to 1.21% at December 31, 2024, and decreased compared to 1.24% at September 30, 2024.

**• Operating Leverage** – The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2025 was 61.00% compared to 60.83% in the second quarter of 2025 and 67.49% for the third quarter of 2024. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio<sup>(1)</sup>, which excludes amortization, was 57.30% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 56.73% for the second quarter of 2025 and 62.10% for the third quarter of 2024. Management anticipates ongoing expense management of professional services and technology investments will result in continued improvements in operating leverage over time.

(1)ROAA – non-GAAP is computed by dividing i) net income excluding net of tax adjustments for the amortization of other intangible assets, credit card fraud losses and the sale and fair value of held for sale assets by ii) average assets.

(2)ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by average tangible common equity. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Refer to Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional details.

(3)Efficiency ratio – GAAP is computed by dividing i) noninterest expense by ii) the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

(4)Efficiency ratio – non-GAAP is computed by dividing i) noninterest expense less amortization of other intangible assets and credit card fraud losses by ii) the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income less the sale and the fair value of held for sale assets.

(5)Net operating expense is the sum of noninterest expense offset by noninterest income.

**Net Interest Income**

Tax-equivalent NII is NII adjusted for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. As shown in the table below, tax-equivalent NII was $48.7 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $43.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest and fees on loans of $1.8 million and interest on deposits at other banks of $651 thousand, coupled with a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $2.4 million and borrowings of $512 thousand.

Fluctuations in NII can result from the combination of changes in the average balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates. Interest rates earned and paid are affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

NII was $48.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $43.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest and fees on loans of $1.8 million and interest on deposits at other banks of $651 thousand, as well as an increase in interest expense on short-term borrowings of $149 thousand.

The Company's NIM increased to 3.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 3.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Comparing the three months ended September 30, 2025 to the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's interest-earning asset yields decreased to 5.42% from 5.47%, while the cost of funds repriced at a faster pace, which resulted in a decrease of 29 bps basis points, from 2.38% to 2.09% for the same period.

**Provision for Credit Losses ("PCL") and ACL**

Refer to the discussion of the Bank's PCL and ACL in the asset quality discussion in the analysis of financial condition in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

**Noninterest Income**

Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $7.7 million, an increase of $414 thousand from $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $101 thousand increase in mortgage banking revenue, driven by increased mortgage servicing activity, and a $147 thousand increase in interchange credits.

**Noninterest Expense**

Total noninterest expense of $34.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $265 thousand when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 total noninterest expense of $34.1 million. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits expense of $2.1 million and higher software and data processing costs of $736 thousand, partially offset by the absence of the credit fraud loss-related expenses incurred in the third quarter 2024, lower legal and professional services of $373 thousand and lower amortization of other intangible assets of $297 thousand.

**Income Taxes**

The Company reported income tax expense of $4.6 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was 24.4% and 25.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Net Interest Income**

As shown in the table below, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $15.4 million to $142.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $126.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in total interest income of $10.9 million, or 5.0%, which included an increase in interest and fees on loans of $6.1 million, or 3.0%, and an increase in interest on deposits with other banks of $4.1 million, or 195.5%. The increase in interest and fees on loans was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans of $135.9 million, or 2.9%. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in interest on deposits of $3.0 million, a decrease in interest expense on long-term borrowings of $1.1 million and a decrease in interest expense on short-term borrowings of $288 thousand. The decreases in borrowings were related to lower FHLB advances in 2025.

The Company's NIM increased from 3.12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Margins were higher due to a $266.5 million increase in interest-earning asset balances and a 1 basis point increase in interest-earning asset yields. These positive movements were coupled with lower cost interest-bearing deposits. The increase in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits of $75.5 million was offset by a 16 basis point decrease in the associated rates paid, as well as a $26.3 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances and a 52 basis point decrease in the associated rates paid. Net accretion income impacted net interest margin by 23 basis points and 29 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which resulted in NIMs excluding accretion of 3.11% and 2.83% for the same periods.

Refer to the discussion of the Bank's PCL and ACL in the asset quality discussion in the analysis of financial condition in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

**Noninterest Income**

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $24.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 7.7%, when compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $936 thousand increase in mortgage banking revenue, a $341 thousand increase in other noninterest income and a $208 thousand increase in interchange credits.

**Noninterest Expense**

Total noninterest expense was $102.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 1.7%, when compared to the same period in 2024. Noninterest expense line items decreased primarily due to the absence of the $4.7 million credit card fraud event during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and lower amortization of intangible assets of $893 thousand, which was partially offset by higher salaries and employee benefit expenses of $3.5 million and an increase of $2.0 million of software and data processing expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**Income Taxes**

The Company reported income tax expense of $14.3 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was 24.63% and 24.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**LIQUIDITY**

Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Cash needs may come from loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations, resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers, are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent upon the Bank's operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. Customer deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank's lending and investment activities.

Based on management's going concern evaluation, management believes that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's or the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the issuance of the financial statements.

The Bank's principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. The Bank's principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits.

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.

Liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, which include core deposits and brokered deposits. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB. The Bank uses wholesale funding (brokered deposits and other sources of funds) to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.

The Company derives liquidity through increased customer deposits, non-reinvestment of the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan repayments, borrowings and income from earning assets. As seen in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $43.3 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to a net decrease of $188.8 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the first nine months of 2025 was mainly due to the decrease of $32.6 million in interest-bearing deposits and loan growth, partially offset by an increase of $31.4 million in noninterest-bearing deposits.

To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term fund markets. At September 30, 2025, the Bank had approximately $1.37 billion of available liquidity, including $416.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $294.4 million in unpledged securities and $739.6 million in secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta, partially offset by FHLB advances and a letter of credit of $50.0 million and $33.1 million, respectively. The Bank has arrangements with other correspondent banks whereby it has $65.0 million available in federal funds lines of credit and a reverse repurchase agreement available to meet any short-term needs which may not otherwise be funded by the Bank's portfolio of readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash. Through the FHLB, the Bank had available lendable collateral of approximately $739.6 million and $743.6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Bank has pledged, under a blanket lien, all qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans under borrowing agreements with the FHLB of Atlanta. The following table presents the Company's liquidity in use and liquidity available as of September 30, 2025.

For information about risks relating to liquidity, see "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business" included in Part I, Item 1A. in &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the 2024 Annual Report.

**CAPITAL RESOURCES**

The Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal 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 material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 12.50%. The Bank and Company are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The Bank was deemed "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2025.

The Company evaluates capital resources by the ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios. The Company and the Bank annually update its strategic plan, which includes a three-year capital plan. In developing its plan, the Company considers the impact to capital of asset growth, loan concentrations, income accretion, dividends, holding company liquidity, investment in markets and people and stress testing.

As of September 30, 2025, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which they were subject, and the Bank was classified as "well-capitalized" for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations. The following tables present the applicable capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

**ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION**

**Balance Sheet Summary** 

Total assets were $6.28 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $47.7 million, or 0.8%, when compared to $6.23 billion at December 31, 2024. The aggregate increase was primarily due to an increase in the loan portfolio of $111.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits at other banks of $61.6 million and a decrease in the investment securities portfolio of $14.8 million. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits with other institutions was primarily driven by loan growth. Total assets increased $360.8 million, or 6.1%, from $5.92 billion when compared to September 30, 2024. The ratio of the ACL as a percentage of loans was 1.22% and 1.21% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $416.5 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $459.9 million at December 31, 2024. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands. Management believes liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and wholesale funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year.

**Investment Securities**

The investment portfolio includes debt and equity securities. Debt securities are classified as either AFS or HTM. AFS investment securities are stated at estimated fair value based on market prices. They represent securities which may be sold as part of the asset/liability management strategy or in response to changing interest rates. Net unrealized holding gains and losses on these securities are reported net of related income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity. Investment securities in the HTM category are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and the ACL. We have the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. At September 30, 2025, 29.5% of the portfolio of debt securities was classified as AFS and 70.5% was classified as HTM, compared to 23.7% and 76.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2024. See Note 2 – "Investment Securities" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on the composition of the investment portfolio.

Investment securities, including restricted stock and equity securities, totaled $641.6 million at September 30, 2025, a $14.7 million, or 2.2% decrease, compared to $656.4 million at December 31, 2024.

At September 30, 2025, AFS securities, carried at fair value, totaled $181.7 million, compared to $149.2 million at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, AFS securities consisted of 86.1% mortgage-backed, 11.3% U.S. government agencies and 2.6% corporate bonds, compared to 82.0%, 13.5% and 4.4%, respectively, at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, the accumulated other comprehensive loss was $4.8 million, compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2024.

At September 30, 2025, HTM securities, carried at amortized cost, totaled $433.4 million, compared to $481.1 million at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, HTM securities consisted of 71.9% mortgage-backed, 26.5% U.S. government agencies and 1.6% other debt securities, compared to 70.0%, 27.5% and 2.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2024.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 98.1% and 97.1%, respectively, of the Bank's carrying value of its investment portfolio consisted of securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored agencies.

The Company monitors the credit quality of HTM securities through credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investor Services. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody's and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade HTM securities at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. HTM securities that are not rated are agency mortgage-backed securities sponsored by U.S. government agencies, as well as direct obligations of the agencies, with the remainder being sub-debt of other banks.

**Loans Held for Sale**

The Company originates residential mortgage loans for sale on the secondary market, which are recorded at fair value. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of loans held for sale amounted to $21.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively. The Bank makes certain representations to purchasers in the sale of mortgage loans related to loan ownership, loan compliance and legality, and accurate documentation. If a loan is found to be out of compliance with any of the representations subsequent to the date of purchase, the Bank may be required to repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Bank repurchased one loan valued at $523 thousand and two loans with an aggregate value of $938 thousand, respectively. No loans were repurchased during the three or nine months ended September 2024.

**CRE Loan Portfolio**

The Company's loan portfolio has a CRE loan concentration, which is generally defined as a combination of certain construction and CRE loans. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential CRE concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution's total risk-based capital; or (2) total non-owner occupied CRE loans representing 300% or more of the institution's total risk-based capital and the institution's non-owner occupied CRE loan portfolio (including construction) has increased 50% or more

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic18fddf028ad4c2a8d4ba45d57ecc213_7)</u>

during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential CRE concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their CRE portfolios and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. The Bank has a concentration in CRE loans, and experienced significant growth in its CRE portfolio with its acquisition of The Community Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank of the Chesapeake. Non-owner occupied CRE loans totaled $2.16 billion and $2.08 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and as a percentage of the Bank's Tier 1 Capital plus ACL were 348.42% and 359.52%, respectively. Construction loans totaled $350.9 million and $336.0 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and as a percentage of the Bank's Tier 1 Capital plus ACL were 56.71% and 57.99%, respectively.

The CRE portfolio has increased in the past two years. Management has extensive experience in CRE lending and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, as well as strong underwriting criteria with respect to its CRE portfolio. Monitoring practices are part of the Bank's credit and risk departments' annual test plans and are adjusted as needed on a quarterly basis if external or internal conditions merit changes. The Bank's CRE monitoring plans include stress testing analysis to evaluate changes in collateral values and changes in cash flow debt service coverage ratios as a result of increasing interest rates or declines in customer net operating revenues. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our CRE concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, or be required to sell/participate portions of loans, either of which may adversely affect shareholder returns.

*Office CRE Loan Portfolio*

The Bank's office CRE loan portfolio, which includes owner occupied and non-owner occupied CRE loans, was $473.7 million, or 9.7% of total loans of $4.88 billion at September 30, 2025. The Bank's office CRE loan portfolio included $129.7 million, or 27.4% of total office CRE loans, with medical tenants, and $54.0 million, or 11.4% of total office CRE loans, with government or government contractor tenants. There were 491 loans in the office CRE loan portfolio with an average and median loan size of $965 thousand and $366 thousand, respectively. Loan to Value ("LTV") estimates are less than 50% for $156.7 million, or 33.1% of the office CRE loan portfolio, and greater than 80% for $10.2 million, or 2.2% of the office CRE loan portfolio. LTV collateral values are based on the most recent appraisal, which varies from the initial loan boarding to interim credit reviews. LTV estimates for the office CRE loan portfolio are summarized in the table below and LTV collateral values are based on the most recent appraisal, which may vary from the appraised value at loan origination.

The Bank had 16 office CRE loans totaling $144.7 million that were greater than $5.0 million at September 30, 2025, compared to 18 office CRE loans totaling $164.5 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in this portfolio segment was the result of normal amortization, the payoff of a $5.6 million loan, and the change in purpose of collateral of an $11.8 million loan from office to school. For the office CRE portfolio, at September 30, 2025, the average loan debt-service coverage ratio was 1.8x and the average LTV was 48.4%. Of the office CRE portfolio balance, 80.1% is secured by properties in rural or suburban areas with limited exposure to metropolitan cities and 96.9% are secured by properties with five stories or less. Of the office CRE loans, $5.5 million will mature and $5.4 million will reprice prior to December 31, 2025. Of the office CRE loans, $13.7 million are special mention or substandard.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic18fddf028ad4c2a8d4ba45d57ecc213_7)</u>

three months ended September 30, 2024. There were net charge-offs of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.15% and 0.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.08% and 0.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Management remains focused on its efforts to dispose of problem loans and to prudently charge-off nonperforming loans to enable the Company to maintain overall credit quality. The ACL as a percentage of period-end loans was 1.22% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table allocates the ACL by portfolio loan category as of the dates indicated. The allocation of the ACL to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the ACL to absorb losses in any category.

**Classified Assets and Special Mention Assets**

Classified assets increased $23.8 million to $52.0 million, or 0.8% of total assets, at September 30, 2025, from $28.2 million, or 0.5% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. Classified assets are substandard loans, repossessed assets and OREO. The increase was primarily due to several commercial non-owner occupied real estate loans, which were downgraded during the current period. All of these loans are well secured by collateral and required minimal individual reserves as of September 30, 2025.

Special mention loans increased to $71.0 million at September 30, 2025 from $33.5 million at December 31, 2024. Increases in special mention loan categories were due to loans related to the multifamily commercial real estate portfolio. Management believes these assets are well collateralized and will continue to monitor the cash flow. The Company's risk rating process for classified loans is an important input into the Company's allowance methodology and ACL qualitative framework.

Nonperforming assets were $28.1 million, or 0.5% of total assets, at September 30, 2025, compared to $24.8 million, or 0.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. The balance of nonperforming assets increased primarily due to an increase of nonaccrual loans of $3.4 million.

**Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure Reserve**

The Company's reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure was $2.1 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company is monitoring line of credit usage and has not seen substantive increases in usage or expected usage. The Company will continue to monitor activity for potential increases in the off-balance sheet reserve in future quarters as customers use available liquidity.

**Deposits**

The following is a breakdown of the Company's deposit portfolio at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Total deposits decreased $171 thousand, to $5.5 billion at September 30, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024. The slight decrease in total deposits was primarily due to a decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits of $126.1 million and money market and savings deposits of $15.9 million, partially offset by an increase in time deposits of $99.6 million and noninterest-bearing deposits of $31.4 million. The decrease in interest-bearing checking deposits is primarily attributable to seasonal municipal runoff.

Total estimated uninsured deposits were $936.3 million, or 16.9% of total deposits, at September 30, 2025 and $905.3 million, or 16.4% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, there were $144.1 million included in uninsured deposits that the Bank secured using the market value of pledged collateral. The Bank's uninsured deposits, excluding the market value of pledged collateral, at September 30, 2025 were $792.2 million, or 14.3% of total deposits.

The Bank is required to monitor large deposit relationships and concentration risks in accordance with regulatory guidance. This includes monitoring deposit concentrations and maintaining fund management policies and strategies that take into account potentially volatile concentrations and significant deposits that mature simultaneously. Regulatory guidance defines a large depositor as a customer or entity that owns or controls 2% or more of the Bank's total deposits. At September 30, 2025, the Bank had three local municipal customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $538.3 million, which represented 9.7% of total deposits of $5.53 billion. At December 31, 2024, there were three customer deposit relationships that exceeded 2% of total deposits, totaling $547.4 million, which represented 9.9% of total deposits of $5.54 billion.

At September 30, 2025, deposit balances related to the cannabis business were $134.3 million, or 2.43% of total deposits. At December 31, 2024, deposit balances were $151.4 million, or 2.74% of total deposits,

**Wholesale Funding – Short-Term Borrowings and Brokered Deposits**

The Company's wholesale funding, which includes FHLB advances and brokered deposits, was $60.9 million and $50.0 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $50.0 million FHLB advance was for an initial term of 18-months at a rate of 4.79%. This advance has the option to be called by FHLB at any time and matures on November 7, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $10.9 million of brokered deposits and no securities sold under agreements to repurchase or overnight borrowings from correspondent banks. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no brokered deposits or securities sold under agreements to repurchase or overnight borrowings from correspondent banks.

For FDIC call reporting purposes, reciprocal deposits are classified as brokered deposits when they exceed 20% of a bank's liabilities or $5.0 billion. Reciprocal deposits decreased $162.0 million to $1.48 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $1.65 billion at December 31, 2024. Reciprocal deposits as a percentage of the Bank's liabilities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were 26.3% and 29.3%, respectively. For call reporting purposes, $367.5 million of reciprocal deposits were considered brokered at September 30, 2025, compared to $520.5 million at December 31, 2024.

**Long-Term Debt**

The Company occasionally borrows from the FHLB to meet longer term liquidity needs, specifically to fund loan growth when liquidity from deposit growth is not sufficient. The Company had no long term borrowing with the FHLB as of September 30, 2025.

In August 2020, the Company issued and sold $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 01, 2030. The subordinated notes bore an initial interest rate of 5.375% through September 30, 2025, after which the interest rate adjusts quarterly to an amount equal to 3-month SOFR plus 5.265%.

As a result of the merger with Severn Bancorp, Inc., effective October 31, 2021, the Company assumed liability for Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due in 2035, which had an outstanding principal balance of $20.6 million. The debt balances of $18.9 million at September 30, 2025 and $18.8 million at December 31, 2024 were presented net of fair value adjustments of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Additionally, as a result of the merger with The Community Financial Corporation in 2023, the Company assumed liability for Junior Subordinated Debt Securities with an outstanding principal balance of $12.4 million. The debt balance of $11.2 million at September 30, 2025 was presented net of a fair value adjustment of $1.2 million. In addition, the Company assumed liability for 4.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a carrying value of $19.5 million at September 30, 2025. The notes' aggregate balance of $19.4 million at September 30, 2025 was presented net of fair value adjustment of $91 thousand.

**USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

Statements included in the management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliation schedules that immediately follow.

**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the accompanying financial statement tables, contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. This financial information includes certain performance measures, which exclude intangible assets. These non-GAAP measures are included because the Company believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the underlying performance trends of the Company.

**Return on Average Tangible Common Equity**

ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by average tangible common equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally-developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

**Efficiency Ratio – Non-GAAP**

Efficiency ratio – non-GAAP is computed by dividing i) noninterest expense less amortization of other intangible assets and credit card fraud losses by ii) the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income less the sale and the fair value of held for sale assets, as applicable. Efficiency ratio – non-GAAP may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

**Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

The Company's primary market risk is interest rate fluctuation, and management has procedures in place to evaluate and mitigate this risk. This risk and these procedures are discussed in Part II, Item 7A. of the 2024 Annual Report under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." Management recognizes that recent changes in interest rates have had an impact on the Company's market risk. The procedures used to evaluate and mitigate these risks remain unchanged, and we continue to monitor actual and simulated sensitivity positions since December 31, 2024.

The Company prepares a current base case and several alternative simulations at least quarterly. Current interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. In addition, the Company simulates additional rate curve scenarios. The Company may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment.

The Company's internal limits for parallel shock scenarios are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Shock in Basis Points** | **Net Interest Income**  | **Economic Value of Equity**  |
| + - 400 | +/- 25% | +/- 40% |
| + - 300 | +/- 20% | +/- 30% |
| + - 200 | +/- 15% | +/- 20% |
| + - 100 | +/- 10% | +/- 10% |

---

It is management's goal to manage the Bank's portfolios so that NII at risk over 12 and 24-month periods and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company exceeded Board approved limits for percentage change in economic value of equity in the interest rate shock of -200. In both periods, the Company exceeded board approved levels due to average lives and the low level of market rates on non-maturing deposit instruments.

Measures of NII at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution's short-term performance in alternative rate environments. The below schedule estimates the changes in NII over a 12-month period for parallel rate shocks for up 400, 300, 200, 100 and down 100 and 200 scenarios:

Measures of equity value at risk indicate the ongoing economic value of the Company by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of the Company's cash flows, and by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The below schedule estimates the changes in the economic value of equity at parallel shocks for up 400, 300, 200, 100 and down 100 and 200 scenarios:

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic18fddf028ad4c2a8d4ba45d57ecc213_7)</u>

such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables.

**Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's principal executive officer ("PEO") and its principal financial officer ("PFO"), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the PEO and the PFO. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the PEO and the PFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including the PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1 US2008 30984616 5 SHORE BANCSHARES, INC. CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN PREAMBLE The purpose of the Plan is to provide Change in Control Severance Benefits to eligible Executives upon a Qualifying Termination. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan that is maintained primarily to provide severance compensation and benefits to a select group of "management or highly compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, and therefore to be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS When used in capitalized form in the Plan, the following words and phrases have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates that a different meaning is intended: 1.1 "Affiliate" means with respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person or entity. For purposes of this definition, "control," when used with respect to any person or entity, means the power to direct the management and policies of such person or entity, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 1.2 "Base Pay" means the Executive's annual base salary at the rate in effect immediately before the Executive's Qualifying Termination or, if greater, in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. 1.3 "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company. 1.4 "Cause" means Cause as defined in the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and/or any similar plan that replaces or supplements the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. 1.5 "Change in Control" means a Change in Control as defined in the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and/or any similar plan that replaces or supplements the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. 1.6 "Change in Control Severance Benefits" means (a) the Change in Control Severance Pay, plus (b) the payment Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA") premiums for continued health coverage, as set forth in each Executive's Participation Agreement.

![](ex-101changeinctrlsevera002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2 US2008 30984616 5 1.7 "Change in Control Severance Pay" means the change in control severance pay provided for in the Participation Agreement for an Executive. 1.8 "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder. Any reference to a section of the Code includes a reference to any successor or amended section of the Code. 1.9 "Company" means Shore Bancshares, Inc. a Maryland corporation, and any successor to thereto. 1.10 "Disability" shall have the meaning given to such term in the long-term disability policy available to Executives, as amended or replaced from time to time. 1.11 1.12 1.13 "Effective Date" means July 1, 2025. "Employer" means the Company and each Affiliate that participates in the Plan. "ERISA" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including all regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. 1.14 "Equity Award" or "Equity Awards" means any award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or performance units, or any other equity award or equity-based award (including any such equity-based award settled in cash), in all cases granted pursuant to a Company plan, arrangement or agreement. 1.15 "Executive" means an individual who: (a) is designated to participate in the Plan by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion; (b) receives a Participation Agreement from the Company; (c) timely executes and delivers to the Company such Participation Agreement (as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion); (d) is not covered by another written agreement, policy or plan with the Company or an Affiliate that contains any severance payments upon a termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control; and (f) is not covered by another written agreement with the Company that contains a severance provision for a termination in connection with a Change in Control (e.g., not covered by an employment agreement with an Employer that contains change in control severance provisions). 1.16 "General Release" means the separation and release agreement, in a form provided by the Company, which an Executive must execute in order to receive the Change in Control Severance Benefits under the Plan. Under the General Release, the Executive will agree to relinquish any and all known and unknown claims dealing with specific acts between the parties that the Executive may have against the Company or any of its Affiliates and agree to continue to abide by the restrictive covenants (if any) set forth in the Executive's Participation Agreement. 1.17 "Good Reason" means Good Reason as defined in the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and/or any similar plan that replaces or supplements the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

------

![](ex-101changeinctrlsevera003.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3 US2008 30984616 5 event or circumstance is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of such notice. If the Executive initiates termination with Good Reason, the actual termination must occur within sixty (60) days after the date of the notice of termination. The Executive's failure to timely give notice of termination with respect to the occurrence of a specific event that would otherwise constitute Good Reason will not constitute a waiver of the Executive's right to give notice of any new subsequent event that would constitute Good Reason that occurs after such prior event (regardless of whether the new subsequent event is of the same or different nature as the preceding event). 1.18 "Participation Agreement" means the participation agreement delivered by the Company to an Executive informing him or her of the Executive's participation in the Plan and setting forth the Executive's Change in Control Severance Pay and restrictive covenants (if any) the Executive is subject to, including but not limited to, non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions. 1.19 "Plan" means this Shore Bancshares, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended from time to time. 1.20 "Plan Administrator" means the Compensation Committee of the Board, or such person or committee appointed by the Compensation Committee to administer the Plan. 1.21 "Pro-Rata Bonus" means an amount equal to (a) the annual bonus, if any, that the Executive would have earned for the entire fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs at target level; multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during the fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs and the denominator of which is the number of days in such year. 1.22 "Qualifying Termination" means the Termination of an Executive during the twenty-four (24)-month period immediately following a Change in Control either (a) by the Employer without Cause or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason. In no event will the Termination of an Executive's employment as a result of any of the following circumstances result in a Qualifying Termination: (w) the Executive's death, (x) the Executive's Disability, (y) a Termination by the Employer of the Executive's employment with the Employer for Cause, or (z) a Termination by the Executive of his or her employment with the Employer for a reason other than Good Reason. 1.23 "Section 409A" means Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder. 1.24 "Target Bonus" means an Executive's target annual bonus under the annual cash- based incentive plan applicable to such Executive. 1.25 "Termination" means a "separation from service," as defined in Section 409A, of an Executive with respect to an Employer and which separation both the Employer and the Executive reasonably believe to be permanent; provided, however, that a transfer of an Executive's employment from one Employer to another Employer will not constitute a Termination.

------

![](ex-101changeinctrlsevera004.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4 US2008 30984616 5 1.26 "Termination Date" means the date on which the Executive's Qualifying Termination occurs. SECTION 2 ELIGIBILITY 2.1 Eligibility for Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, an Executive will become entitled to receive Change in Control Severance Benefits only if the Executive (i) experiences a Qualifying Termination and (ii) timely executes and does not revoke a General Release in accordance with Section 2.3. As of the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator has approved several executives for participation in the Plan and has provided notice to each such executive of his or her selection for Plan participation. Subject to the execution of a Participation Agreement, each executive listed on Appendix A will become a participant in the Plan on the later of the Effective Date or the deadline specified in the Executive's notice of participation. 2.2 Death of an Executive. If an Executive whose employment terminated as a result of a Qualifying Termination dies after his or her Termination Date but before the Executive received the Change in Control Severance Benefits to which he or she was entitled, the Change in Control Severance Benefits will be paid to such Executive's surviving spouse as then reflected in the Employer's records or, if such Executive does not have a surviving spouse reflected in the Employer's records, to the Executive's estate. 2.3 Requirement for Release. No Change in Control Severance Benefits will be paid to any Executive unless that Executive, in the sole determination of the Plan Administrator, has properly executed and delivered to the Company a General Release and such General Release has become irrevocable as provided therein within fifty-five (55) days following his or her Termination Date. To be "properly executed," such General Release must be (among other requirements the Plan Administrator may establish) executed on or after the Executive's Termination Date and must not be revoked within the seven-day (7) period immediately following the Executive's execution of the General Release (i.e., upon expiration of such seven (7) days, the General Release is irrevocable by the Executive). SECTION 3 BENEFITS 3.1 Amount of Change in Control Severance Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Executive's Participation Agreement, an Executive who has a Qualifying Termination will, upon the timely satisfaction of the conditions to receipt of Change in Control Severance Benefits set forth in the Plan (such satisfaction to be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion) and the Executive's Participation Agreement, shall be entitled to receive the Change in Control Severance Benefits. 3.2 Form and Timing of Payment of Change in Control Severance Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Executive's Participation Agreement, Change in Control Severance Pay will be paid to the Executive in the form of a lump-sum cash payment as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the period during which the Executive may revoke the General Release in accordance with Section 2.3, but in all events no

------

![](ex-101changeinctrlsevera005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5 US2008 30984616 5 later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive's Termination Date; but if such sixty-day (60) period begins in one taxable year and ends in a subsequent taxable year, the Change in Control Severance Pay will in all events commence or be paid in such subsequent taxable year. The details of an Executive's reimbursement or payment of premiums for COBRA continuation coverage (if any) will be set forth in each Executive's Participation Agreement. 3.3 Treatment of Equity Awards. Following a Qualifying Termination, an Executive's Equity Awards will be treated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Company plan, agreement or arrangement. 3.4 Application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. (a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Executive is a "disqualified individual" (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan, together with any other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any other person, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan will be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by the Executive from the Company and/or such person(s) will be $1.00 less than three (3) times the Executive's "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by the Executive will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better "net after-tax position" to the Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). (b) The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, will be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. (c) The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder, if necessary, will be made applying principles, assumptions and procedures consistent with Section 280G of the Code by an accounting firm, consulting firm or law firm of national reputation that is selected for this purpose by the Company (the "280G Firm"). In order to assess whether payments under the Plan or otherwise qualify as reasonable compensation that is exempt from being a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, the 280G Firm or the Company may retain the services of an independent valuation expert. Any determination required under this Section 3.4 will be made by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company's determination will be final and binding on the Executive. (d) If a payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its Affiliates) used in determining if a "parachute payment" exists, exceeds $1.00 less than three (3) times the Executive's base amount, then the Executive must immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 3.4

------

![](ex-101changeinctrlsevera006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6 US2008 30984616 5 will require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, the Executive's excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code. SECTION 4 ADMINISTRATION AND CLAIMS PROCEDURE 4.1 Plan Administration. The Plan Administrator has the authority to administer the Plan. The Plan Administrator will perform all such duties as are necessary to supervise the administration of the Plan and to control its operation in accordance with the terms thereof, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce such rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan; (ii) interpret the provisions of the Plan and determine any questions arising under the Plan, or concerning the administration or operation thereof, including all questions of fact; (iii) determine eligibility for and entitlement to benefits, including the existence of a Qualifying Termination or other circumstances provided in Section 2; (iv) resolve and clarify inconsistencies, ambiguities and omissions in the Plan and among and between the Plan and other related documents; and (v) process and approve or deny all claims for benefits. Any action by the Plan Administrator with respect to the Plan (including, without limitation, the Plan Administrator's interpretation or administration of the Plan) will be conclusive and binding upon any and all persons affected hereby, subject to the exclusive appeal procedure set forth in herein. 4.2 Claims Procedures. An initial claim for benefit payment will be considered filed when the Plan Administrator receives a written request from an Executive or his or her authorized representative(s). (a) Denial of Benefits. Any time a claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the person ("Claimant") must be given written notice of such action within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed, unless circumstances require an extension of time for processing. If there is an extension, the Claimant must be notified of the extension and the reason for the extension within the initial ninety-day (90) period. The extended time must not exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days after the claim is filed. Such notice will indicate (i) the reason for denial, (ii) the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (iii) an explanation of the claims appeal procedure set forth herein, and (iv) a description of any additional material or information required to perfect the claim and, if necessary, an explanation of why such material or information is required. (b) Appeal of Denial of Benefits. Any person who has had a claim for benefits denied by the Plan Administrator or his or her designee, or is otherwise adversely affected, will have the right to request an appeal to the Plan Administrator. Such a request must be in writing and must be made within sixty (60) days after such person is advised of the initial claim determination or adverse action (otherwise the Claimant's right to an appeal will be forfeited upon conclusion of the sixty-day (60) period. Additionally, such request must (i) request a review of the claim under the Plan, (ii) set forth all grounds under which the request for review is based and any facts in support thereof, and (iii) set forth any issues or comments that the Claimant deems pertinent to the appeal. The Claimant may also submit documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits. In preparing for the request for review, the Claimant will be entitled, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,

------

![](ex-101changeinctrlsevera007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7 US2008 30984616 5 records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. The Plan Administrator's review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant and relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the Plan Administrator's initial benefit determination. The Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant in writing of its decision within sixty (60) days (unless the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time) after receipt of the request for review. If the Plan Administrator determines that an extension of time is required, it will, prior to expiration of the initial sixty-day (60) period, notify the Claimant, in writing, of the extension, along with an explanation of the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to reach its decision, which must not be later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the Plan Administrator's receipt of the Claimant's request for review. If the Claimant's appeal is denied, the written notification of the Plan Administrator must contain specific reasons for the decision and refer to the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based, and must contain a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits and a statement of the Claimant's right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. The decision of the Plan Administrator will be final and conclusive as to any claim filed hereunder. SECTION 5 GENERAL PROVISIONS 5.1 Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either the Board or the Plan Administrator may amend the Plan at any time to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A or any other applicable law. Any such amendment must, to the maximum extent possible, preserve the Plan's benefits for all then-participating Executives. 5.2 Plan Document. The Plan, including any attached amendments, appendices and/or exhibits that are incorporated herein by reference, sets forth the entire provisions of the Plan. 5.3 Limitations on Assignments and Transfers. Rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance. 5.4 No Employment Rights. No provisions of the Plan and no action taken by an Employer, the Board, the Plan Administrator, or any officer, employee or director, will give any person any right to be retained in the employ of any Employer or any Affiliate, and each Employer specifically reserves the right and power to dismiss or discharge any Executive for any reason or no reason and at any time. 5.5 Notice. All notices, statements, reports and other communications from the Company to any Executive, employee or other person required or permitted under the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when delivered to, or when mailed by first- class mail, postage prepaid and addressed to, such Executive, employee, or other person at the address last appearing on the Company's records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8 US2008 30984616 5 5.6 Headings. The headings used in this document are for convenience of reference only and may not be given any weight in interpreting any provision of the Plan. 5.7 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any term, provision or portion of the Plan is void, illegal, or unenforceable, the other terms, provisions and portions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and the terms, provisions, and portions that are determined to be void, illegal or unenforceable will either be limited so that they will remain in effect to the extent permissible by law, or such arbitrator or court will substitute, to the extent enforceable, provisions similar thereto or other provisions, so as to provide to the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefits intended by the Plan. 5.8 Section 409A. (a) The Plan will be interpreted to ensure that the payments contemplated hereby to be made by any Employer to an Executive are exempt from or comply with Section 409A; but nothing in the Plan will be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for any tax (including a tax or penalty due as a result of a failure to comply with Section 409A) from any Executive to any Employer or any other individual or entity. Any payments under the Plan that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral will be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. (b) Any payment under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A and that is contingent on a termination of employment is contingent on a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. Each payment will be considered to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. (c) If, upon separation from service, an Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A, any payment to such Executive that is subject to Section 409A and would otherwise be paid within six months after the Executive's separation from service will instead be paid in the seventh month following the Executive's separation from service (to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)). (d) Any taxable reimbursement due under the terms of the Plan will be paid no later than December 31st of the year after the year in which the expense is incurred and will comply with Treas. Reg.§ 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv). 5.9 Governing Law. The Plan is to be construed, administered, and regulated in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle), except to the extent that those laws are preempted by federal law. 5.10 Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9 US2008 30984616 5 5.11 Tax Withholding Requirements. The amount of any withholding required to be made by any government or government agency will be deducted from the Change in Control Severance Benefits paid under the Plan to the extent deemed necessary by the Plan Administrator. However, the Executive will bear the cost of any taxes not withheld on benefits provided under the Plan, regardless of whether withholding is required. 5.12 Payment Errors. If an incorrect amount is paid to or on behalf of an Executive, any remaining payments will be adjusted to correct the error. If the error was an underpayment, then an additional payment will be made as soon as administratively feasible and such underpayment will not affect the effectiveness of any agreement or release. The Plan Administrator may take such other action it deems necessary and equitable to correct any such error, including recovering any overpayment. 5.13 Status as Unsecured Creditor/Unfunded Obligation. All benefits under the Plan are the unsecured obligations of the Company and its Affiliates. No assets will be placed in trust or otherwise segregated from the general assets of the Company or its Affiliates for the payment of obligations hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments hereunder, such right is no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or an Affiliate. 5.14 Compensation Recoupment. Any amounts payable under the Plan are subject to any policy (whether in existence as of the Effective Date or later adopted) established by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to an Executive. The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with any applicable law or regulation. 5.15 FDIC Limitations. If any payment or benefit under the Plan would otherwise be a golden parachute payment within the meaning of section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (a "Golden Parachute Payment") that is prohibited by applicable law, then the payments and benefits will be reduced to the greatest amount that can be paid to the Participant without there being a prohibited Golden Parachute Payment. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Company shall seek the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Maryland Department of Labor - Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation and any other bank regulatory body, as necessary, to make any payment to the Participant that would otherwise constitute a Golden Parachute Payment. \* \* \* \*
