CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025

![](hbt-20260302ex991002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forvis Mazars, LLP is an independent member of Forvis Mazars Global Limited Independent Auditor's Report Board of Directors CNB Bank Shares, Inc. Carlinville, Illinois Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CNB Bank Shares, Inc. and its subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNB Bank Shares, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We are required to be independent of CNB Bank Shares, Inc. and its subsidiary and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about CNB Bank Shares, Inc. and its subsidiary's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Board of Directors CNB Bank Shares, Inc. 2 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit of financial statements conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered to be material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements. In performing an audit of financial statements and an audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with GAAS, we:  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audits.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the consolidated financial statement audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of CNB Bank Shares, Inc. and it's subsidiary's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about CNB Bank Shares, Inc. and its subsidiary's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the consolidated financial statement audit. Decatur, Illinois February 25, 2026

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation CNB Bank Shares, Inc. (the "Company" or "CNB") provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers throughout south-central Illinois, suburban southwestern Chicago, and the St. Louis metropolitan area, through its wholly owned subsidiary bank, CNB Bank & Trust, N.A. (the Bank). In addition, CNB Insurance Services, LLC, a subsidiary of CNB Bank & Trust, N.A., provides insurance services to the customers of the geographic areas in which the Bank operates. The Company and Bank are subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products throughout the Company's market areas. Additionally, the Company and Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and Bank conform to generally accepted accounting principles within the financial services industry. In compiling the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include the determination of the allowance for credit losses; valuation of other real estate owned and stock options; and determination of possible impairment of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following is a description of the more significant of the Company's accounting policies: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Accounting The Company utilizes the accrual basis of accounting, which includes in the total of net income all revenues earned and expenses incurred regardless of when actual cash payments are received or paid. The Company is also required to report comprehensive income of which net income is a component. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. This includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments and distributions by and to owners and cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows at December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): 2025 2024 Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities $(37,641) $(52,255) Market value adjustment for cash flow hedge — 2 Deferred tax effect 10,728 10,973 $(26,913) $(41,280) CNB BANK SHARES, INC.

Cash Flow Information For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions (all of which are payable upon demand). Following is certain supplemental information relating to the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Cash paid for: Interest $37,011 $31,539 Income taxes 4,465 Federal 3,850 Illinois 2,775 Other 95 Noncash transactions: Transfers to other real estate owned in settlement of loans 2,389 174 Right of use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities 1,238 336 Issuance of treasury stock for vested stock awards 3,236 602 Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Recoveries will be recognized up to the aggregate amount of previously charged off balances. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit loss expense charged to income. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost net of the allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. The methodology influences, and is influenced by, the Company's overall credit risk management processes. The allowance is managed in accordance with GAAP to provide an adequate allowance for credit losses that is reflective of management's best estimate of what is expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company has chosen to use the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) method, which is based on relevant information about past events, including historical Company and peer experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the amortized cost basis. Adjustments are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, and other relevant factors. The calculation forecasts expected credit losses for two years before reverting to CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 9

historical credit loss information. Additionally, management has made qualitative adjustments to the loss estimates to reflect other factors that influence credit losses, such as changes in the portfolio, concentration of credit, credit quality, collateral values, lending policies or procedures, credit review system, lending management experience, economic conditions, and other external factors. Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance credit exposures is adjusted through credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures equaled $640,000 and $553,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Securities For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Investments in Debt Securities The Company classifies its debt securities into one of three categories at the time of purchase: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities would be bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other debt securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities (for which no securities were so designated at December 31, 2025 and 2024) would be recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Holding gains and losses on trading securities (for which no securities were so designated at December 31, 2025 and 2024) would be included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity until realized. Transfers of securities between categories CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 10

![](hbt-20260302ex991012.jpg)

would be recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Unrealized holding gains and losses would be recognized in earnings for any transfers into the trading category. Mortgage-backed securities represent participating interests in pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for mortgage-backed securities are recognized as interest income using the interest method, which considers the timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying mortgages in estimating future cash flows for individual mortgage-backed securities. For other debt securities, premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the lives of the respective securities, with consideration of historical and estimated prepayment rates, as an adjustment to yield using the interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses from the sale of any securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Interest-Earning Time Deposits Interest-earning time deposits in other financial institutions are recorded at cost and mature in 2026. Loans Interest on loans is credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. Loans are considered delinquent whenever interest and/or principal payments have not been received when due. The recognition of interest income is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days delinquent or when, in management's judgment, the interest is not collectible in the normal course of business. Subsequent payments received on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectibility of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income. Loans are returned to accrual status when management believes full collectibility of principal and interest is expected. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the lives of the related loans using the interest method. Bank Premises and Equipment Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment is computed over the expected lives of the assets or related lease term for leasehold improvements using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are generally 39 years for premises and 3 to 15 years for building and leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements of bank premises and equipment are capitalized (including related interest costs), and those for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Bank premises and equipment and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In such situations, recoverability of assets to be held and used would be measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets were considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized would be measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value of the assets, using observable market prices. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Leases Leases are classified as operating or financing leases at the lease commencement date. The Company leases certain locations and equipment. The Company records leases on the balance sheet in the form CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 11

of a lease liability for the present value of future minimum payments under the lease terms and a right- of-use asset equal to the lease liability adjusted for items such as deferred or prepaid rent, lease incentives, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. The discount rate used in determining the lease liability is based upon incremental borrowing rates the Company could obtain for similar loans as of the date of commencement or renewal. The Company does not record leases on the consolidated balance sheet that are classified as short-term. At lease inception, the Company determines the lease term by considering the minimum lease term and all optional renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain to renew. The lease term is also used to calculate straight-line rent expense. The depreciable life of leasehold improvements is limited by the estimated lease term, including renewals if they are reasonably certain to be renewed. The Company's leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments that would impact the Company's ability to pay dividends or cause the Company to incur additional expenses. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. Rent expense and variable lease expense are included in occupancy and equipment expense on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company's variable lease expense includes rent escalators that are based on market conditions and include items such as common area maintenance, utilities, parking, property taxes, insurances, and other costs associated with the lease. Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned, included in other assets on the balance sheet, represents property acquired through foreclosure, or deeded to the Bank in lieu of foreclosure, for loans on which the borrowers have defaulted as to payment of principal and interest. Properties acquired are initially recorded at the lower of the Bank's carrying amount or fair value using observable market prices (less estimated selling costs) and carried in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by means of a charge to noninterest expense if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value, less estimated selling costs. Subsequent increases in the fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded through a reversal of the allowance but not below zero. Costs related to development and improvements of property are capitalized while costs relating to holding the property are expensed. The Bank had no other real estate owned as of December 31, 2025, and $174,000 of residential real estate properties recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024. The Bank had no residential real estate loans in process of foreclosure at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Intangible Assets and Goodwill Identifiable intangible assets include the mortgage servicing rights described below under "Mortgage Banking Operations" and core deposit premiums relating to the Company's various bank acquisitions, which are being amortized into noninterest expense on straight-line and accelerated basis over periods ranging from 10 to 15 years. Amortization expense during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $468,000 and $468,000, respectively. Future amortization of the core deposit intangible assets existing at December 31, 2025 is expected to be $468,000 in 2026, $468,000 in 2027, and $233,000 in 2028. Accumulated amortization of core deposit intangible assets was $3,508,000 and $3,040,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The excess of the Company's consideration given in each subsidiary acquisition transaction over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, an intangible asset on the consolidated CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 12

balance sheets. Goodwill is the Company's only intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, and the Company is required to test the intangible asset for impairment on an annual basis. Impairment is measured as the excess of carrying value over the fair value of an intangible asset with an indefinite life. No impairment write-downs were required during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock Included in other assets are the Bank's investments in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, which is administered by the Federal Housing Finance Board, and Federal Reserve Bank stock. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. National banks are also required to maintain stock in the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock is recorded at cost, which represents redemption value. The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock was $4,472,000 and $4,885,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The carrying amount of Federal Reserve Bank stock was $914,000 and $914,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase at specified future dates. Such repurchase agreements are considered financing arrangements and, accordingly, the obligation to repurchase assets sold is reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by debt securities, which are under the control of the Bank. Income Taxes The Company and Bank file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Applicable income taxes are computed based on reported income and expenses adjusted for permanent differences between reported and taxable income. Penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities are included in income tax expense in the year assessed, unless such amounts relate to an uncertain tax position. The Company had no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period which includes the enactment date. The Company's consolidated federal and state income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and State of Illinois for three years after they are filed. Mortgage Banking Operations The Bank's mortgage banking operations include the origination of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. Upon receipt of an application for a residential real estate loan, the Bank generally locks in an interest rate with the applicable investor and, at the same time, locks in an interest rate with the customer. This practice minimizes the exposure to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations. Upon disbursement of the loan proceeds to the customer, the loan is delivered to the applicable investor. Sales proceeds are generally received shortly thereafter. Therefore, no loans held for sale are included in the Bank's loan portfolio at any point in time, except those loans for which the sale proceeds have not yet been received. Such loans are maintained at the CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 13

lower of cost or fair value based on the outstanding commitment from the applicable investors for such loans. Loan origination fees are recognized upon the sale of the related loans and included in the consolidated statements of income as noninterest income from mortgage banking operations. Additionally, loan administration fees, representing income earned from servicing certain loans sold in the secondary market, are calculated on the outstanding principal balances of the loans serviced and recorded as noninterest income as earned. For certain loans sold in the secondary market, the Bank retains the rights to service such loans. Accordingly, the Bank has recognized as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others at the origination date of the loan. These capitalized mortgage servicing rights are included as identifiable intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements and are reviewed on a quarterly basis for impairment based on the estimated fair value of those rights. The value of mortgage servicing rights is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using assumptions as to a current market discount rate, prepayment speeds, and servicing costs per loan. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank had unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others totaling $300,981,000 and $284,696,000, respectively. The mortgage servicing right asset is included in identifiable intangible assets on the balance sheet. The following summarizes the mortgage servicing rights activity using the amortization method: 2025 2024 Balance, beginning of year $371 $552 Additions 230 196 Amortization (246) (377) Balance, end of year 355 371 Fair value, end of year $3,300 $3,132 Future amortization of mortgage servicing rights existing at December 31, 2025 is expected to be $168,000 in 2026, $100,000 in 2027, $58,000 in 2028, $25,000 in 2029, and $4,000 in 2030. No valuation reserve was required on the mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Financial Instruments For purposes of information included in note 16 regarding disclosures about financial instruments, financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both (a) imposes on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (b) conveys to that second entity a contractual right to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Stock Options Compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions are recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements over the period of service to which such compensation relates (generally the vesting period) and are measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 14

instruments issued. The grant date values of employee share options are estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. Treasury Stock Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined using an average cost methodology. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company uses derivative instruments to assist in the management of interest rate sensitivity and to modify the repricing, maturity, and option characteristics of certain assets and liabilities. The only derivative instruments used by the Company are interest rate swaps. Derivative instruments are required to be measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Fair value represents the payment the Company would receive or pay if the item were sold or bought in a current transaction. Fair values are generally based on market quotes. The accounting for changes in fair value (gains or losses) of a hedged item is dependent on whether the related derivative is designated and qualifies for "hedge accounting." The Company assigns derivatives to one of three categories at the purchase date: fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or nondesignated derivatives. An assessment is then made of the expected and ongoing hedge effectiveness of any derivative designated as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Derivatives are included in other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The following is a summary of the Company's accounting policies for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities: Fair Value Hedges For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the fair value of the derivative instrument and related hedged item would be recognized through the related interest income or expense, as applicable, except for the ineffective portion, which would be recorded in noninterest income or expense. All changes in fair value would be measured on a monthly basis. The swap agreement would be accounted for on an accrual basis, with the net interest differential being recognized as an adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the related asset or liability. The Company had no fair value hedge instruments at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Cash Flow Hedges Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are accounted for at fair value. The effective portion of the change in fair value is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are subsequently reclassified into interest income or expense when the underlying transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value is recorded in noninterest income or expense. The swap agreements are accounted for on an accrual basis, with the net interest differential being recognized as an adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the related asset or liability. There were no interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2025. The Company classified all of its interest rate swaps at December 31, 2024 as cash flow hedges. Nondesignated Derivatives Certain economic hedges are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. These nondesignated derivatives do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting treatment. Changes in CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 15

the fair value of these instruments would be recorded in interest income or expense at the end of each reporting period. The Company had no nondesignated derivatives at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses fair value measurements to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income, and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities carried or reported at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: ▪ Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities and federal agency mortgage-backed securities, which are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. ▪ Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities. ▪ Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or value assigned to such assets or liabilities. While certain assets and liabilities may be recorded at the lower of cost or fair value as described above on a nonrecurring basis (e.g., impaired loans, loans held for sale, other real estate owned), the only assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company's investments in available-for-sale debt securities and derivative instruments. The derivative instruments are valued using Level 1 valuation inputs. The Company's available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value using Level 2 valuation inputs. For the securities valued using Level 2 inputs, the market valuation utilizes several sources which include observable inputs rather than "significant unobservable inputs" and, therefore, fall into the Level 2 category, and are based on dealer quotes, market spreads, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus, prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bonds' terms and conditions at the security level.

Once a loan is deemed collateral dependent, an independent appraisal is obtained. The fair value of these loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell and is a nonrecurring measurement. Collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Management establishes a specific reserve for loans with an estimated fair value below the carrying value. Foreclosed assets held for sale acquired through loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Due to the subjective nature of establishing the fair value when the asset is acquired, the actual fair value of the other real estate owned or foreclosed asset could differ from the original estimate and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 expands income tax disclosure requirements. The amendments require annual disclosure of certain information relating to the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid by jurisdiction, income from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The amendments also eliminate certain requirements relating to unrecognized tax benefits and certain deferred tax disclosure relating to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. ASU 2023-09 was applied on a prospective basis. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 provides more decision-useful information about a public entity's expenses by requiring additional detail on expenses reported in income statements. Under the ASU, public business entities will provide detailed disclosure in interim and annual periods of specified categories underlying certain expense captions. The ASU requires public business entities to apply the amendments prospectively, with an option to use retrospective application. The amendments in this update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. ASU 2025-08 expands the population of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. Loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed "seasoned" are purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. The amendments in this update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or stockholders' equity. Subsequent Events In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 25, 2026, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. On October 20, 2025, CNB and HBT Financial, Inc. ("HBT"), jointly announced the signing of a merger agreement pursuant to which HBT will acquire CNB. Under the terms of the merger agreement, total consideration consists of approximately 5.5 million shares of HBT's common stock and $33.8 million in cash. CNB shareholders may elect to receive either (i) 1.0434 shares of HBT's common stock for each share of CNB's common stock, or (ii) $27.73 per share in cash, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock consideration, subject to adjustment and to the election and proration provisions in the merger agreement. Upon closing the transaction, shareholders of CNB are expected to hold approximately 15% of HBT Financial's outstanding common stock. The transaction is expected to be consummated on or around February 27, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. CNB BANK SHARES, INC.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions in an unrealized loss position are primarily comprised of bonds with adequate credit ratings, underlying collateral, and/or cash flow projections. The unrealized losses associated with these securities are not believed to be attributed to credit quality but rather to changes in interest rates and temporary market movements. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell the securities with unrealized losses, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no sales of available-for-sale securities. During the year ended December 31, 2024, gross gains of $24,000 and gross losses of $489,000 resulting from sales of $3,244,000 of available-for-sale securities. CNB BANK SHARES, INC.

The carrying value of debt securities pledged to secure public funds, securities sold under repurchase agreements, certain short- and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes amounted to approximately $201,550,000 and $188,600,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Bank has also pledged letters of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago totaling $92,145,000 and $92,145,000 as additional collateral to secure public funds at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on available-for sale securities totaled $2,176,000 and $2,227,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. NOTE 3 – LOANS The composition of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands) is as follows: December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Commercial: Real estate $492,282 $484,276 Agricultural production 119,503 114,053 Other 142,183 157,262 Real estate: Construction 155,178 147,036 Residential 163,822 152,613 Farmland 232,442 214,174 Consumer 18,310 20,830 $1,323,720 $1,290,244 Less deferred fees (1,719) (1,842) $1,322,001 $1,288,402 The Bank grants commercial, industrial, residential, agricultural, and consumer loans throughout south- central Illinois, suburban southwestern Chicago, and the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. With the exception of agricultural credits, the Bank does not have any particular concentration of credit in any one economic sector; however, a substantial portion of the portfolio is concentrated in and secured by real estate in the Bank's market areas. The ability of the Bank's borrowers to honor their contractual obligations is dependent upon the local economies and their effect on the real estate market. Included in consumer loans are overdrafts of $390,000 and $1,078,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following describe the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments: Commercial real estate loans are secured by various commercial property types including office and industrial buildings, warehouses, small retail shopping centers, and various special purpose properties, such as hotels, restaurants, and nursing homes, majority of which are owner-occupied and in the Bank's market areas. Strict underwriting standards are in place that include, but are not limited to, independent appraisals, cash flow analyses, creditworthiness, experience, and management. For owner-occupied properties, the primary source of cash flow is from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party that owns the property. Nonowner-occupied properties are those loans where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income CNB BANK SHARES, INC.

associated with the property or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Agricultural loans (i.e., those loans which fund crop production, livestock production, and capital purchases) are structured to coincide with the purpose or seasonality. Collateral support, determined repayment ability, and creditworthiness are all considered in the loan approval process. Commercial business loans vary in type and may be secured or unsecured. They are typically originated with the purpose of financing equipment acquisitions, expansion, working capital, and other general business purposes, such as issuing letters of credit. The Company's commercial business loan portfolio is comprised of loans for a variety of purposes and generally is secured by equipment, machinery, and other business assets. Commercial credit decisions are based upon a complete credit review of the borrower. A determination is made as to the borrower's ability to repay in accordance with the proposed loan terms, as well as an overall assessment of the credit risks involved. Personal guarantees of borrowers are generally required. In evaluating a commercial business loan, the Bank considers debt service capabilities, actual and projected cash flows, and the borrower's inherent industry risks. Construction loans generally involve a greater degree of risk than the Bank's other real estate lending. As with the Bank's other loan types, the underwriting standards require proper loan- to-value coverage and determination of the borrower's ability to service the debt. Prior to approval of the construction loan, the Bank determines that the borrower has the approval, capacity, and wherewithal to handle the permanent financing. Residential real estate loans are predominantly collateralized by properties located in the Bank's market areas. The Bank adheres to strict underwriting standards that have been reviewed by the Board of Directors and the banking regulators. The underwriting standards include, but are not limited to, repayment capacity, creditworthiness, proper loan-to-value coverage, and proper lien positions supported by title policies. Farmland loans are not unique to the Bank's market areas. The underwriting criteria is much the same as for other loans (i.e., loan-to-value coverage, repayment ability, and creditworthiness are paramount). Farm real estate loans may be structured to coincide with the seasonal nature of agriculture. In determining the loan-to-value coverage, the Bank utilizes appraisers that are familiar with agricultural real estate values. Consumer loans are underwritten in a manner that verifies the borrower's capacity to pay, creditworthiness, and proper valuation of the collateral. The structure of the loan is dependent on the purpose and collateral being pledged as security. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank had loans outstanding to the agricultural sector of $351,945,000 and $328,227,000, respectively, comprising 26.6% and 25.4% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. The Bank's agricultural credits are concentrated in the south-central Illinois area and are generally fully secured with either growing crops, farmland, livestock, and/or machinery and equipment. Such loans are subject to the overall national effects of the agricultural economy, as well as the local effects relating to their south-central Illinois location. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank had loans secured by commercial real estate totaling $492,282,000 and $484,276,000, respectively, comprising 37.2% and 37.5% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. These loans are well- secured by various commercial properties including owner-occupied commercial real estate, multi- CNB BANK SHARES, INC.

The Bank analyzes loans individually on a continuous basis by classifying the loans based on credit risk. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings: ▪ Watch – Loans classified as watch have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank's credit position at some future date. ▪ Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well- defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not resolved. ▪ Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make full collection or liquidation on the basis of currently existing factors, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered pass-rated loans.

The Bank seeks to assist customers that are experiencing financial difficulty by renegotiating loans within lending regulations and guidelines. A loan modification is considered a restructured loan when a concession has been granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The Bank's modifications generally include interest rate adjustments and amortization and maturity date extensions. These modifications allow the borrowers short-term cash relief to allow them to improve their financial condition. The Bank's restructured loans are considered impaired and are individually evaluated for impairment as part of the allowance for credit losses as described above. There were no loan modifications to borrower experiencing financial difficulty during the year ended December 31, 2025. The following table presents the amortized cost basis (dollars in thousands) of loans at December 31, 2024 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the year ended December 31, 2024, by segment and type of modification.

NOTE 10 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In previous years, the Company's shareholders approved various stock option plans under which options to purchase up to 1,700,000 shares of Company stock were authorized for grants to directors, officers, and employees of the Company and Bank.

NOTE 12 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan to provide retirement benefits to substantially all of its employees. All employees meeting certain age and service requirements are eligible to participate in the plan. Under the 401(k) plan, the Company may make discretionary matching contributions to the plan up to the amount of employee contributions and subject to certain limitations. Total contributions made by the Company under this plan were $1,131,000 and $992,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Incentive deferral plans are maintained for certain directors and officers allowing such participants to defer current compensation earned in their role with the Company or Bank and agreeing to pay to such participants, or their designated beneficiaries or survivors, the total amount of deferred compensation plus accumulated interest at or following retirement. Under the plans, interest is added to the accumulated deferred compensation at a periodic compound rate equal to the Company's return on equity from the previous year. The directors are expected to continue to render their normal service as directors to the Company or Bank from the date of the plan's inception until retirement. The incentive deferral plans stipulate that, upon disability, termination, or death prior to retirement, the affected director (or his/her designated beneficiaries or survivors) would be vested in the total deferred compensation accumulated to that date, plus compounded interest. Payments under the plan may be made in a lump sum or periodically over a specified time period, with interest. The Company and Bank recognize annual compensation expense equal to the sum of the compensation deferred under the incentive deferral plans by the affected directors plus interest applied to the accumulated balance of the deferred compensation. The Company also administers deferred compensation plans assumed through acquisitions of other banks. The charge to expense for the deferred compensation plans reflects the accrual using the principal and interest method over the vesting period of the present value of benefits due each participant on the full eligibility date. An amount of $8,897,000 and $9,127,000 is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing the sum of all deferrals and interest additions accumulated to date. NOTE 13 – LITIGATION During the normal course of business, the Company becomes subject to various legal claims. However in the opinion of management, these will not result in any material liability to the Company. NOTE 14 – PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Bank's dividends are the principal source of funds for the payment of dividends by the Company to its stockholders and for debt servicing. The Bank is subject to regulations by regulatory authorities that require the maintenance of minimum capital requirements and is also limited to the earnings of the current year and two previous years for the payment of dividends without obtaining the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS The Bank issues financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of the business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for financial instruments included on the consolidated balance sheets. Following is a summary of the Company's off-balance sheet financial instruments at December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Financial instruments for which contractual amounts represent: Commitments to extend credit $206,133 $229,975 Standby letters of credit 4,556 4,815 210,689 234,790 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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but is generally residential or income-producing commercial property or equipment on which the Bank generally has a superior lien. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and historically have not been drawn upon. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures equaled $640,000 and $553,000 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. NOTE 16 – REGULATORY MATTERS The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. CNB BANK SHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 43

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total, Tier 1, and Common Equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Banks and their bank holding companies that have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a leverage ratio (equal to Tier 1 capital divided by average total consolidated assets) of greater than 9%, are eligible to opt into the CBLR framework. Qualifying community banking organizations that elect to use the CBLR framework and that maintain a leverage ratio of greater than 9% will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the agencies' capital rules (generally applicable rule) and, if applicable, will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements for purposes of Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Accordingly, a qualifying community banking organization that exceeds the 9% CBLR will be considered to have met: (i) the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements of the generally applicable capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements in order to be considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework; and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements. A qualifying community banking organization that elects to be under the CBLR framework generally would be exempt from the current capital framework, including risk-based capital requirements and capital conservation buffer requirements. A banking organization meets the definition of a "qualifying community banking organization" if the organization has: • A leverage ratio of greater than 9%; • Total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion; • Total off-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives other than sold credit derivatives and unconditionally cancellable commitments) of 25% or less of total consolidated assets; and • Total trading assets plus trading liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets. Even though a banking organization meets the above-stated criteria, federal banking regulators have reserved the authority to disallow the use of the CBLR framework by a depository institution or depository institution holding company, based on the risk profile of the banking organization. Company management believes, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the most recent notification from applicable regulatory authorities categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as a well-capitalized bank, a bank that has not opted to use the CBLR option must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that Company management believes have changed the Bank's risk category. CNB BANK SHARES, INC.

NOTE 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per common share is calculated as net income less preferred stock dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock and the Company's stock options and restricted stock awarded. Presented below are the calculations for the basic and diluted earnings per common share (dollars in thousands, except per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Basic Net income $16,430 $13,656 Less: Dividends on preferred shares (702) (556) Net income available to common stockholders $15,728 $13,100 Weighted average common shares outstanding 5,433,837 5,398,145 Basic earnings per common share $2.89 $2.43 Diluted Net income $16,430 $13,656 Weighted average common shares outstanding 5,433,837 5,398,145 Dilutive potential common shares: Preferred shares as converted 974,500 974,500 Stock compensation 52,326 14,928 Total dilutive potential common shares 1,026,826 989,428 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 6,460,663 6,387,573 Diluted earnings per common share $2.54 $2.14 NOTE 18 – SEGMENT REPORTING The Company operates with a single reportable segment for financial reporting purposes with the Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer, Andy Tinberg, serving as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM does not significantly rely on disaggregated financial data to allocate resources and make decisions and, instead, assesses Company needs and performance at the consolidated level.

**NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

HBT Financial completed its merger with CNB on March 1, 2026. The merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly the assets and liabilities of CNB, presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been adjusted to their fair values based upon conditions as of the merger date and as if the merger had been effective on December 31, 2025 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and on January 1, 2025 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any expense efficiencies, increased revenue or other potential financial benefits of the merger. The fair value adjustments are estimates as of the date hereof and are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available.

**NOTE 2 — PURCHASE PRICE**

Pursuant to the merger agreement, shares of CNB common stock, in the aggregate, were exchanged for 5,498,131 shares of HBT Financial common stock and $33.8 million in cash. Based upon the closing price of HBT Financial common stock of $26.96 on February 27, 2026, this represents total consideration of $182.1 million.
