Company Overview
 
We are Bank7 Corp., a bank holding company headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank7, we operate
twelve full-service branches in Oklahoma, Texas, and
Kansas. We were formed in 2004 in connection with our acquisition of First National Bank of
Medford, which was renamed Bank7 (the “Bank”).  We are focused on serving business owners and entrepreneurs by delivering fast, consistent and
well-
designed banking solutions. As of December 31, 2024, we had total assets of $1.74 billion, total loans of $1.40 billion, total deposits of $1.52 billion and
total shareholders’ equity of $213.2 million.
 
Our website is: www.bank7.com. We make available free of charge through our website, our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments
to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been electronically filed or furnished
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information included on our website is not incorporated into this filing.
 
Products and Services
 
The Bank is a full-service commercial bank.   We focus on the development of deep business relationships with our commercial customers and their
principals.  We also focus on providing customers with
exceptional service and meeting their banking needs through a wide variety of commercial and
retail financial services.
 
The Bank has a particular focus in the following loan categories (i) commercial real estate lending (“CRE”), (ii) hospitality lending, (iii) energy lending,
and (iv) commercial and industrial
lending.  Although it is a small segment of the Bank, we also provide consumer lending services to individuals for
personal and household purposes, including secured and unsecured term loans and home improvement loans.   Consumer lending services
 include (i)
residential real estate loans and mortgage banking services, (ii) personal lines of credit, (iii) loans for the purchase of automobiles, and (iv) other
installment loans.
The Bank offers deposit banking products, including (i) commercial deposit services, commercial checking, money market, and other deposit accounts, and
(ii) retail deposit services such as
certificates of deposit, money market accounts, checking accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, savings
accounts, and automated teller machine access.
Strategic Focus
 
Our success is driven by:
 
 
•
the development of deep business relationships with our commercial customers and their principals;
 
 
•
disciplined growth without compromising our asset quality or credit culture;
 
 
•
drawing upon years of executive level experience at multi-billion dollar banks;
 
 
•
efficiencies gained by adherence to automated and repeatable processes; and
 
 
•
investing in our people and technology.
 
We focus on our daily execution, making sound credit decisions and maintaining cost discipline, which is the foundation for our success. Our customers are
our top priority and we focus on
 efficiently providing tailored banking products and services to business owners and entrepreneurs, with a goal of
generating consistent growth and delivering exceptional returns to our shareholders.  Additionally, we continually position
ourselves for future growth both
organically and through strategic acquisitions.
 
Cost Discipline and Efficiency
 
We constantly monitor expenditures, and, when appropriate, we use automation, technology and repeatable processes to drive profitability. The Bank
operates as few branches as practical, and the
branches we do operate are smaller and more cost efficient than a traditional branch. As we continue to grow,
we expect our utilization of automation, technology, and repeatable processes will continue to drive efficiencies throughout the Bank.
Combining talented
people with process automation will enable us to scale even further, and will also enable us to deliver consistently superior customer service.

Organic Growth
 
Much of our historic asset growth has been driven organically and within our current markets, particularly the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area,
Oklahoma City, and Tulsa. Although our expansion
with brick and mortar branches will be limited, we believe operating strategically placed branches will
be important, and therefore we will continue to selectively build our presence in key markets. We currently operate twelve branches. We also
intend to
continually enhance our internet and mobile banking products to remain competitive in the marketplace.
 
Markets
 
We are headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and we operate seven additional branches in Oklahoma. We also operate two branches in the
Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and two branches in
Kansas.
 
Competition
 
The banking and financial services industry is highly competitive, and we compete with a wide range of financial institutions within our markets, including
local, regional and national commercial
banks and credit unions. We also compete with mortgage companies, trust companies, brokerage firms, consumer
finance companies, mutual funds, securities firms, insurance companies, third-party payment processors, financial technology, or Fintech,
companies and
other financial intermediaries for certain of our products and services. Some of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions and level of
regulatory supervision applicable to us.
 
Interest rates on loans and deposits, as well as prices on fee-based services, are typically significant competitive factors within the banking and financial
services industry. Many of our
competitors are much larger financial institutions that have greater financial resources than we do and compete aggressively
for market share. These competitors attempt to gain market share through their financial product mix, pricing strategies
and banking center locations. Other
important competitive factors in our industry and markets include office locations and hours, quality of customer service, community reputation, continuity
of personnel and services, capacity and willingness to
extend credit, and ability to offer excellent banking products and services. While we seek to remain
competitive with respect to fees charged, interest rates and pricing, we believe that our broad suite of financial solutions, our high-quality
customer service
culture, our positive reputation and our long-standing community relationships enable us to compete successfully within our markets and enhance our
ability to attract and retain customers.
 
Human Capital
 
Our corporate culture is defined by core values which include integrity, accountability, professionalism, community-focus and efficiency. As of December
31, 2024, we had 124 full time employees. We
value our employees by investing in competitive compensation and benefit packages and fostering a team
environment centered on professional service and open communication. Attracting, retaining and developing qualified, engaged employees who
embody
these values are crucial our success. We offer all of our employees a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision insurance, a
flexible spending plan, group life insurance, short-term and long-term disability
 insurance, a traditional 401(k) Plan, competitive paid time off/paid
holidays, and competitive incentives.
 
We are committed and focused on the health and safety of our employees, customers, and communities and are committed to providing a safe and secure
work environment in accordance with applicable
labor, safety, health, anti-discrimination and other workplace laws. We strive for all of our employees to
feel safe at work. To that end, we maintain a whistleblower hotline that allows associates and others to anonymously voice concerns. We
prohibit retaliation
against an individual who reported a concern or assisted with an inquiry or investigation.
 
Supervision and Regulation
 
The following is a general summary of the material aspects of certain statutes and regulations that are applicable to us. These summary descriptions are
not complete and are
subject to many exceptions. Please refer to the full text of the statutes, regulations, and corresponding guidance for more information.
These statutes and regulations are subject to change, and additional statutes, regulations, and corresponding
guidance may be adopted. We are unable to
predict future changes or the effects, if any, that these changes could have on our business or our revenues.

Table of Contents
General
 
We are extensively regulated under U.S. federal and state law. As a result, our growth and earnings may be affected not only by management decisions and
general economic conditions, but also by
federal and state statutes and by the regulations and policies of various bank regulatory agencies, including the
Oklahoma Banking Department (“OBD”), the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Consumer
 Financial
Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). Furthermore, tax laws administered by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities, accounting rules
developed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), securities laws
administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and
state securities authorities and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) laws enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) also impact our
business.
 
Federal and state banking laws impose a comprehensive system of supervision, regulation and enforcement on the operations of banks, their holding
companies and their affiliates. These laws are
intended primarily for the protection of depositors, customers and the Depositor Insurance Fund of the FDIC
(“DIF”) rather than for shareholders. Federal and state laws, and the related regulations of the bank regulatory agencies, affect, among
other things, the
scope of business, the kinds and amounts of permissible investments, reserve requirements, capital levels relative to assets, the nature and amount of
collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, the ability to merge,
consolidate and acquire, dealings with insiders and affiliates. the payment of
dividends and redemption of securities.
 
This supervisory and regulatory framework subjects banks and bank holding companies to regular examination by their respective regulatory agencies,
which results in examination reports and ratings
 that, while not publicly available, can affect the conduct and growth of their businesses. These
examinations consider not only compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but also capital levels, asset quality and risk, management’s ability
and
performance, earnings, liquidity sensitivity to market risk and various other factors. These regulatory agencies have broad discretion to impose restrictions
and limitations on the operations of a regulated entity and exercise enforcement
powers over a regulated entity (including terminating deposit insurance,
imposing orders, fines and other civil and criminal penalties, removing officers and directors and appointing supervisors and conservators) where the
agencies determine,
among other things, that such operations are unsafe or unsound, fail to comply with applicable law or regulations, or are otherwise
inconsistent with the supervisory policies of these agencies.
 
Regulatory Capital Requirements
 
The federal banking agencies require that banking organizations meet several risk-based capital adequacy requirements. The current risk-based capital
standards applicable to the Company and the Bank are based on
the Basel III Capital Rules established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(the “Basel Committee”). The Basel Committee is a committee of central banks and bank supervisors/regulators from the major industrialized countries
that
develops broad policy guidelines for use by each country’s supervisors in determining the supervisory policies they apply. The requirements are
intended to ensure that banking organizations have adequate capital given the risk levels of assets
and off-balance sheet financial instruments.
 
The Basel III Capital Rules require the Bank and the Company to comply with four minimum capital standards: a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4.0%; a
CET1 to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%; a Tier 1 capital
to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 6.0%; and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of
at least 8.0%. The calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to definitions, deductions and adjustments specified in the
regulations.
 
The Basel III Capital Rules also require a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital
conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during
periods of economic stress and effectively increases the minimum required risk-weighted capital
ratios. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets below the effective minimum (4.5% plus the capital conservation buffer) is
subject
to limitations on certain activities, including payment of dividends, share repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers based on the amount
of the shortfall.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum capital adequacy guideline percentage requirements under
the Basel III Capital Rules.

Prompt Corrective Action
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires federal banking agencies to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements. For purposes of prompt
 corrective action, the law establishes five capital tiers: “well capitalized,” “adequately
capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” A depository institution’s capital tier depends on
its
capital levels and certain other factors established by regulation. Under the applicable FDIC regulations, an institution is deemed to be “well-capitalized” if
it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a CET1 ratio of 6.5% or greater and a leverage
ratio of 5.0% or greater.
 
At each lower capital category, a bank is subject to increased restrictions on its operations. For example, a bank is generally prohibited from making capital
distributions and paying management fees to its holding
 company if doing so would make the bank “undercapitalized.” Asset growth and branching
restrictions apply to undercapitalized banks, which are required to submit written capital restoration plans meeting specified requirements (including a
guarantee by the parent holding company, if any). “Significantly undercapitalized” banks are subject to broad regulatory restrictions, including among other
things, capital directives, forced mergers, restrictions on the rates of interest they
may pay on deposits, restrictions on asset growth and activities, and
prohibitions on paying bonuses or increasing compensation to senior executive officers without FDIC approval. “Critically undercapitalized” are subject to
even more severe
restrictions, including, subject to a narrow exception, the appointment of a conservator or receiver within 90 days after becoming
critically undercapitalized.
 
The appropriate federal banking agency may determine (after notice and opportunity for a hearing) that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition
or deems the institution to be engaging in an unsafe or
unsound practice. The appropriate agency is also permitted to require an adequately capitalized or
undercapitalized institution to comply with the supervisory provisions as if the institution were in the next lower category (but not treat a
significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized) based on supervisory information other than the capital levels of the institution.
 
The capital classification of a bank affects the frequency of regulatory examinations, the bank’s ability to engage in certain activities and the deposit
insurance premium paid by the bank. A bank’s capital
category is determined solely for the purpose of applying prompt correct action regulations and the
capital category may not accurately reflect the bank’s overall financial condition or prospects.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Bank met the requirements for being deemed “well-capitalized” for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations.
 
The Company
 
General. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act
of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Under the BHCA, the
Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve.  The Company is required
to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of its operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require.
 
Acquisitions, Activities and Change in Control. The BHCA generally requires the prior approval by the Federal Reserve for any merger involving a bank
holding company or a bank holding company’s acquisition
of more than 5% of a class of voting securities of any additional bank or bank holding company
or to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any additional bank or bank holding company.
 
Subject to certain conditions (including deposit concentration limits established by the BHCA and the Dodd-Frank Act), the Federal Reserve may allow a
bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of
 the United States. Federal law also generally prohibits any person or company from
acquiring “control” of an FDIC-insured depository institution or its holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator.
 
Permitted Activities. The BHCA generally prohibits the Company from controlling or engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and
controlling banks or furnishing services to banks and
 their subsidiaries. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The principal
exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve
prior
to November 11, 1999 to be “so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.” This authority would permit the Company to engage in a
variety of banking-related businesses, including operating a mortgage, finance, credit
 card or factoring company; performing certain data processing
operations; providing investment and financial advice; acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing personal property
on a full-payout,
 non-operating basis; and providing certain stock brokerage and investment advisory services. The BHCA generally does not place
territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of nonbank subsidiaries of bank holding companies. The Federal
Reserve has the power to order any bank
holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when the Federal Reserve has
reasonable grounds to believe that continuing such
activity, ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness, safety or stability of
any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

Table of Contents
Source of Strength. Federal Reserve policy historically required bank holding companies to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to their
subsidiary banks. The Dodd-Frank Act codified this
 policy as a statutory requirement. Under this requirement the Company is expected to commit
resources to support the Bank, including at times when the Company may not be in a financial position to provide it. The Company must stand ready to use
its available resources to provide adequate capital to the Bank during periods of financial stress or adversity. The Company must also maintain the financial
flexibility and capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting
the Bank. The Company’s failure to meet its source of strength obligations
may constitute an unsafe and unsound practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve’s regulations or both. The source of strength obligation most directly
affects bank
holding companies where a bank holding company’s subsidiary bank fails to maintain adequate capital levels. Any capital loans by a bank
holding company to the subsidiary bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other
indebtedness of the subsidiary bank. The
BHCA provides that in the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy any commitment by a bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory
agency to maintain the capital of its subsidiary bank will be
assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment.
 
Safe and Sound Banking Practices. Bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in activities that represent
unsafe and unsound banking practices or that constitute a
violation of law or regulations. Under certain conditions the Federal Reserve may conclude that
certain actions of a bank holding company, such as a payment of a cash dividend, would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Federal
Reserve also has the authority to regulate the debt of bank holding companies, including the authority to impose interest rate ceilings and reserve
requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances the Federal Reserve may require a bank
holding company to file written notice and obtain approval
prior to purchasing or redeeming the bank holding company’s equity securities, unless certain conditions are met.
 
Dividend Payments, Stock Redemptions and Repurchases. The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is affected by both general corporate
law considerations and the regulations and policies of
the Federal Reserve applicable to bank holding companies, including the Basel III Capital Rules.
 
Generally, an Oklahoma corporation may pay dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of the corporation’s net profits for the fiscal year in
which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal
year.  However, if the capital of the corporation has been diminished to an amount less than the
aggregate amount of capital represented by preferred stock, if any, dividends may not be declared and paid out of any such net profits until the
deficiency in
the amount of capital represented by the preferred stock has been restored.
 
It is the Federal Reserve’s policy that bank holding companies should generally pay dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past
year, and only if prospective earnings retention is
consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition.  It is also the Federal
Reserve’s policy that bank holding companies should not maintain dividend levels that undermine their ability to be a source of strength to
its banking
subsidiaries. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has indicated that bank holding companies should carefully review their dividend policy and has
discouraged payment ratios that are at maximum allowable levels unless both asset quality
and capital are very strong.
 
Bank holding companies must consult with the Federal Reserve before redeeming any equity or other capital instrument included in Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital
prior to stated maturity, if such redemption could have a
material effect on the level or composition of the organization’s capital base.  In addition, bank
holding companies are unable to repurchase shares equal to 10% or more of its net worth if it would not be well-capitalized (as defined by the
Federal
Reserve) after giving effect to such repurchase. Bank holding companies experiencing financial weaknesses, or that are at significant risk of developing
financial weaknesses, must consult with the Federal Reserve before redeeming or
repurchasing common stock or other regulatory capital instruments.
 
The Bank
 
General. The Bank is an Oklahoma-chartered member bank and is subject to examination, supervision and regulation by the OBD and the Federal Reserve.
The Bank is also subject to certain regulations of the
FDIC and the CFPB.
 
The OBD supervises and regulates all areas of the Bank’s operations including, without limitation, the making of loans, the issuance of securities, the
conduct of the Bank’s corporate affairs, the satisfaction of
capital adequacy requirements, the payment of dividends, and the establishment or closing of
banking offices. The Federal Reserve is the Bank’s primary federal regulatory agency, and periodically examines the Bank’s operations and financial
condition and compliance with federal law. In addition, the Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the DIF, and the FDIC has certain enforcement powers
over the Bank.
 
Depositor Preference. In the event of the “liquidation or other resolution” of an insured depository institution, the claims of depositors of the institution,
including the claims of the FDIC as subrogee of
insured depositors, and certain claims for administrative expenses of the FDIC as a receiver, will have
priority over other general unsecured claims against the institution. If an insured depository institution fails, insured and uninsured
depositors, along with
the FDIC, will have priority in payment ahead of unsecured, non-deposit creditors including the parent bank holding company with respect to any
extensions of credit they have made to that insured depository institution.
 
Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC. The amount of such premiums is
determined by multiplying the institution’s assessment
rate by its assessment base. The assessment rate is based on the institution’s risk classification which
is assigned based on the institution’s capital levels and the level of supervisory concern the institution poses to the regulators. The
assessment base is
calculated as the institution’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity.
 
Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act altered the minimum designated reserve ratio of the DIF, increasing the minimum from 1.15% to 1.35% of the estimated
amount of total insured deposits, and eliminating the
requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds
certain thresholds. At least semi-annually, the FDIC updates its loss and income projections for the DIF and, if needed, may increase or decrease
the
assessment rates, following notice and comment on proposed rulemaking. As a result, the Bank’s FDIC deposit insurance premiums could increase.

Examination Assessments. Oklahoma-chartered banks are required to pay an annual fee of $1,000 to the OBD to fund its operations. In addition,
Oklahoma-chartered banks are charged an examination assessment
 calculated based on the amount of the Bank’s assets at rates established by the
Oklahoma Banking Board. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Bank paid examination assessments to the OBD totaling $246,000.
 
Capital Requirements. Banks are generally required to maintain minimum capital ratios. For a discussion of the capital requirements applicable to the
Bank, see “—Regulatory Capital Requirements” above.
 
Bank Reserves. The Federal Reserve requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against some transaction accounts (primarily NOW and Super
NOW checking accounts). The balances maintained to meet
the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity
requirements. An institution may borrow from the Federal Reserve “discount window” as a secondary source of funds if the institution meets the Federal
Reserve’s credit standards.
 
Dividend Payments. The primary source of funds for the Company is dividends from the Bank. Unless the approval of the Federal Reserve is obtained, the
Bank may not declare or pay a dividend if the total of
all dividends declared during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of
the Bank’s net income during the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years. Oklahoma law also places
restrictions
on the declaration of dividends by Oklahoma state-chartered banks, including the Bank, to their shareholders. Before any dividend may be declared by the
Bank, not less than 10% of the net profits of the Bank must be transferred to a
surplus fund until the surplus equals 100% of the Bank’s capital stock. This
may decrease any amount available for the payment of dividends in a particular period if the surplus funds for the Bank fail to comply with this limitation.
Furthermore,
the approval of the Commissioner of the OBD is required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year exceed the
total of its net profits of that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years,
less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the
retirement of any preferred stock.  The Federal Reserve and the OBD also may, under certain circumstances, prohibit the payment of dividends to us from
the Bank. Oklahoma corporate law also
requires that dividends can only be paid out of funds legally available therefor.
 
The payment of dividends by any financial institution is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy
guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution
generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would
be undercapitalized. As described above, the Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable regulatory guidelines as of

Transactions with Affiliates. The Bank is subject to sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (the “Affiliates Act”), and the Federal Reserve’s
implementing Regulation W. An affiliate of a bank is any
company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank.
Accordingly, transactions between the Company, the Bank and any non-bank subsidiaries will be subject to a number of restrictions. The Affiliates Act
imposes restrictions and limitations on the Bank from making extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, the
Company or other affiliates, the purchase of, or investment in, stock or other securities
thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans, and the
purchase of assets of the Company or other affiliates. Such restrictions and limitations prevent the Company or other affiliates from borrowing from the
Bank unless the loans
are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Furthermore, such secured loans and investments by the Bank to or in
the Company or to or in any other non-banking affiliate are limited, individually, to 10% of the Bank’s capital and
surplus, and such transactions are limited
in the aggregate to 20% of the Bank’s capital and surplus. All such transactions, as well as contracts entered into between the Bank and affiliates, must be
on terms that are no less favorable to the
Bank than those that would be available from non-affiliated third parties. Federal Reserve policies also forbid the
payment by bank subsidiaries of management fees which are unreasonable in amount or exceed the fair market value of the services
rendered or, if no
market exists, actual costs plus a reasonable profit.
 
Loans to Directors, Executive Officers and Principal Shareholders. The authority of the Bank to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and
principal shareholders, including their immediate family
members and corporations and other entities that they control, is subject to substantial restrictions
and requirements under the Federal Reserve’s Regulation O, as well as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These statutes and regulations impose limits the
amount of
loans the Bank may make to directors and other insiders and require that the loans must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, as prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons
not affiliated with the Company or the Bank, that the Bank must follow
credit underwriting procedures at least as stringent as those applicable to comparable transactions with persons who are not affiliated with the Company or
the Bank; and that
the loans must not involve a greater than normal risk of non-payment or include other features not favorable to the Bank. Furthermore,
the Bank must periodically report all loans made to directors and other insiders to the bank regulators. As of
 December 31, 2024, the Bank had no
outstanding loans to insiders.
 
Limits on Loans to One Borrower. As an Oklahoma state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to limits on the amount of loans it can make to one borrower.
With certain limited exceptions, loans and extensions
of credit from Oklahoma state-chartered banks outstanding to any borrower (including certain related
entities of the borrower) at any one time may not exceed 30% of the capital, less intangible assets, of the bank. An Oklahoma state-chartered
bank may lend
an additional amount if the loan is fully secured by certain types of collateral, like bonds or notes of the United States. Certain types of loans are exempted
from the lending limits, including loans secured by segregated deposits
held by the Bank. The Bank’s legal lending limit to any one borrower was $68.2
million as of December 31, 2024.

Safety and Soundness Standards/Risk Management. The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines establishing operational and managerial
standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured
 depository institutions. The guidelines set forth standards for internal controls,
information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits,
asset
quality and earnings.
 
If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the financial institution’s primary federal regulator may require the
institution to submit a plan for achieving and
maintaining compliance. If a financial institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any
material respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is required
to issue an order directing
the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulator’s order is cured, the regulator may restrict the financial institution’s rate of
growth, require the financial institution to increase
its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any action
the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and soundness
guidelines may also
constitute grounds for other enforcement action by the federal bank regulatory agencies, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty
assessments.
 
Branching Authority. New branches must be approved by the Federal Reserve and the OBD, which consider a number of factors, including financial
history, capital adequacy, earnings prospects, character of
management, needs of the community and consistency with corporate power. The Dodd-Frank
Act permits insured state banks to engage in interstate branching if the laws of the state where the new banking office is to be established would permit the
establishment of the banking office if it were chartered by a bank in such state. Finally, we may also establish banking offices in other states by merging
with banks or by purchasing banking offices of other banks in other states, subject to
certain restrictions.
 
Interstate Deposit Restrictions. The Interstate Act, together with the Dodd-Frank Act, relaxed prior branching restrictions under federal law by permitting,
subject to regulatory approval, banks to establish
branches in states where the laws permit banks chartered in such states to establish branches.
 
Section 109 of the Interstate Act prohibits a bank from establishing or acquiring a branch or branches outside of its home state primarily for the purpose of
deposit production.
 
Community Reinvestment Act. The CRA directs the federal bank regulatory agencies, in examining insured depository institutions, to assess their record of
helping to meet the credit needs of their entire
community, including low- and moderate- income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking
practices. The CRA further requires the agencies to take a financial institution’s record of meeting its community credit needs into account when
evaluating
applications for, among other things, domestic branches, consummating mergers or acquisitions or holding company formations.
 
The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations which measure a bank’s compliance with its CRA obligations on a performance-based evaluation
system. This system bases CRA ratings on an institution’s actual
lending service and investment performance rather than the extent to which the institution
conducts needs assessments, documents community outreach or complies with other procedural requirements. The ratings range from a high of
“outstanding” to
a low of “substantial noncompliance.” The Bank had a CRA rating of “satisfactory” as of its most recent CRA assessment.
 
Anti-Money Laundering and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation. The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to deny terrorists and criminals the
ability to obtain access to the U.S. financial system and has
 significant implications for depository institutions, brokers, dealers and other businesses
involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act substantially broadened the scope of United States AML laws and regulations by imposing
significant
compliance and due diligence obligations, created new crimes and penalties and expanded the extra territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
Financial institutions are also prohibited from entering into specified financial transactions and
account relationships, must use enhanced due diligence
procedures in their dealings with certain types of high-risk customers and must implement a written customer identification program. Financial institutions
must take certain steps to assist
government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering and report certain types of suspicious transactions.
Regulatory authorities routinely examine financial institutions for compliance with these obligations and have imposed cease and
desist orders and civil
money penalties against institutions found to be in violation of these obligations.
 
Likewise, OFAC administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries and regimes under authority of various laws,
including designated foreign countries, nationals and others.
OFAC publishes lists of specially designated targets and countries.  Financial institutions are
responsible for, among other things, blocking accounts of and transactions with such targets and countries, prohibiting unlicensed trade and financial
transactions with them and reporting blocked transactions after their occurrence.
 
Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate AML and OFAC programs, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations,
could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the
institution, including causing applicable bank regulatory authorities not to approve merger
or acquisition transactions when regulatory approval is required or to prohibit such transactions even if approval is not required.

Consumer Financial Services
 
We are subject to a number of federal and state consumer protection laws that extensively govern our relationship with our customers. These laws include
the ECOA, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending
Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds
Availability Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act, the
Service Members Civil Relief Act, the Military Lending Act, and these laws’ respective state law counterparts, as well as state usury laws and laws
regarding unfair and deceptive acts and practices. These and other federal laws, among other
things, require disclosures of the cost of credit and terms of
deposit accounts, provide substantive consumer rights, prohibit discrimination in credit transactions, regulate the use of credit report information, provide
financial privacy
protections, prohibit unfair, deceptive and abusive practices and subject us to substantial regulatory oversight. Violations of applicable
consumer protection laws can result in significant potential liability from litigation brought by
 customers, including actual damages, restitution and
attorneys’ fees. Federal bank regulators, state attorneys general and state and local consumer protection agencies may also seek to enforce consumer
protection requirements and obtain these and
 other remedies, including regulatory sanctions, customer rescission rights, action by the state and local
attorneys general in each jurisdiction in which we operate and civil money penalties. Failure to comply with consumer protection
requirements may also
result in failure to obtain any required bank regulatory approval for mergers or acquisitions or prohibition from engaging in such transactions even if
approval is not required.
 
Rulemaking authority for most federal consumer protection laws was transferred from the prudential regulators to the CFPB on July 21, 2011.  In some
cases, regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission and the
DOJ also retain certain rulemaking or enforcement authority. The CFPB also has broad
authority to prohibit unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices, or UDAAP, and to investigate and penalize financial institutions that violate this
prohibition. While the statutory language of the Dodd-Frank Act sets forth the standards for acts and practices that violate the prohibition on UDAAP,
certain aspects of these standards are untested, and thus it is currently not possible to
predict how the CFPB will exercise this authority.
 
The consumer protection provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and the examination, supervision and enforcement of those laws and implementing regulations
by the CFPB have created a more intense and complex environment
for consumer finance regulation. The CFPB has significant authority to implement and
enforce federal consumer protection laws and new requirements for financial services products provided for in the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the authority
to
identify and prohibit UDAAP. The review of products and practices to prevent such acts and practices is a continuing focus of the CFPB, and of banking
regulators more broadly. The ultimate impact of this heightened scrutiny is uncertain but could
 result in changes to pricing, practices, products and
procedures. It could also result in increased costs related to regulatory oversight, supervision and examination, additional remediation efforts and possible
penalties. In addition, the
Dodd-Frank Act provides the CFPB with broad supervisory, examination and enforcement authority over various consumer
financial products and services, including the ability to require reimbursements and other payments to customers for alleged
legal violations and to impose
significant penalties, as well as injunctive relief that prohibits lenders from engaging in allegedly unlawful practices. The CFPB also has the authority to
obtain cease and desist orders providing for affirmative
relief or monetary penalties. The Dodd-Frank Act does not prevent states from adopting stricter
consumer protection standards. State regulation of financial products and potential enforcement actions could also adversely affect our business,
financial
condition or results of operations.
 
The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over providers with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion
or less in assets, like the Bank, will continue to be examined
by their applicable bank regulators.

Federal Banking Agency Incentive Compensation Guidance
 
The federal bank regulatory agencies have issued comprehensive guidance intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking
organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of those
 organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The incentive compensation
guidance sets expectations for banking organizations concerning their incentive compensation arrangements and related risk management, control and
governance
processes. The incentive compensation guidance, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an
organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon three primary principles: (1)
balanced risk-taking incentives; (2) compatibility with
effective controls and risk management; and (3) strong corporate governance. Any deficiencies in compensation practices that are identified may be
incorporated into the organization’s
supervisory ratings, which can affect its ability to make acquisitions or take other actions. In addition, under the
incentive compensation guidance, a banking organization’s federal supervisor may initiate enforcement action if the
organization’s incentive compensation
arrangements pose a risk to the safety and soundness of the organization. Further, the Basel III capital rules limit discretionary bonus payments to bank
executives if the institution’s regulatory capital
ratios fail to exceed certain thresholds. Although the federal bank regulatory agencies proposed additional
rules in June of 2016 and again in May of 2024 related to incentive compensation for all banks with more than $1.0 billion in assets,
which would include
the Company and the Bank, those rules have not been finalized and the scope and content of the U.S. banking regulators’ policies on executive
compensation are continuing to develop and are likely to continue evolving in the
near future.
 
Financial Privacy
 
The federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information
about consumers to non-affiliated third parties. These
limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow
consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a non-affiliated third party. These regulations affect how consumer information
 is
transmitted through financial services companies and conveyed to outside vendors. In addition, consumers may also prevent disclosure of certain
information among affiliated companies that is assembled or used to determine eligibility for a
product or service, such as that shown on consumer credit
reports and asset and income information from applications. Consumers also have the option to direct banks and other financial institutions not to share
information about transactions and
experiences with affiliated companies for the purpose of marketing products or services.
 
Cybersecurity
 
Banking institutions are required to implement a comprehensive information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical
safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer
records and information. These security and privacy policies and procedures for the
protection of confidential and personal information are in effect across our lines of business. Furthermore, the federal banking regulators regularly issue
guidance regarding cybersecurity intended to enhance cyber risk management. A financial institution is expected to implement multiple lines of defense
against cyber-attacks and ensure that their risk management procedures address the risk posed
by potential cyber threats. A financial institution is further
expected to maintain procedures to effectively respond to a cyber-attack and resume operations following any such attack. The Bank has adopted and
implemented policies and procedures
to comply with privacy, information security, and cybersecurity requirements. On November 18, 2021, the federal
banking agencies issued a new rule effective in 2022 that requires banks to notify their regulators within 36 hours of a
“computer-security incident” that
rises to the level of a “notification incident.”

Impact of Monetary Policy
 
The monetary policy of the Federal Reserve has a significant effect on the operating results of financial or bank holding companies and their subsidiaries.
Among the tools available to the Federal Reserve to affect
the money supply are open market transactions in U.S. government securities, changes in the
discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These tools are used in varying
combinations to
influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on loans
or paid on deposits.
 
Changes in Laws, Regulations or Policies
 
Other legislative and regulatory initiatives which could affect the Company, the Bank and the banking industry in general may be pending, proposed or
introduced before the U.S. Congress, the Oklahoma Legislature
and other governmental bodies from time to time. Such proposals, if enacted, may further
alter the structure, regulation and competitive relationship among financial institutions, and may subject the Company or the Bank to increased regulation,
disclosure and reporting requirements. In addition, the various banking regulatory agencies often adopt new rules and regulations to implement and enforce
existing legislation. It cannot be predicted whether, or in what form, any such legislation
or regulations may be enacted or the extent to which the business
of the Company or the Bank would be affected thereby.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
We believe the risks described below are the risks that are material to us. Any of the following risks, as well as risks that we do not know or currently deem
immaterial, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business and Market
 
Our business is concentrated in, and largely dependent upon, the continued growth and welfare of our markets, and adverse economic conditions in
these markets
could negatively impact our operations and customers.
 
Our business is primarily affected by the economies of Oklahoma, Texas and to a smaller degree the State of Kansas. Our success depends to a significant
extent upon the business activity,
population, income levels, employment trends, deposits and real estate activity in these markets.
As of December 31, 2024, the substantial majority of the loans in our loan portfolio were made to borrowers who live and/or conduct business in our
markets and the substantial majority of our
 secured loans were secured by collateral located in our markets.   Accordingly, we are exposed to risks
associated with a lack of geographic diversification as any regional or local economic downturn that affects our markets, our existing or
 prospective
borrowers, or property values in our markets may affect us and our profitability more significantly and more adversely than our competitors whose
operations are less geographically focused.
In addition, market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in
delinquencies and default rates, which could impact our
charge-offs and provision for credit losses. Adverse changes in economic conditions in these
markets could reduce our growth in loans and deposits, impair our ability to collect our loans, increase our problem loans and charge-offs and otherwise
negatively affect our performance and financial condition.
 
We have credit exposure to the energy industry.
 
The energy industry is a significant sector in our Oklahoma market, and to a lesser extent, Kansas and the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. A downturn
or lack of growth in the energy industry
and energy-related business, including sustained low oil or gas prices or the failure of oil or gas prices to rise in the
future, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2024, our
energy loans, which include loans
to exploration and production companies, midstream companies, purchasers of mineral and royalty interests and service providers totaled $133.3 million, or
9.5% of total loans, as compared to $190.6 million, or
14.0% of total loans as of December 31, 2023. In addition to our direct exposure to energy loans, we
also have indirect exposure to energy prices, as some of our non-energy customers’ businesses are directly affected by volatility with the oil
and gas
industry and energy prices and otherwise are dependent on energy-related businesses. As of December 31, 2024, we had $39 million in unfunded
commitments to borrowers in the oil and gas industry.

We have credit exposure to the hospitality industry.
 
The Company has loan exposure to the hospitality industry, primarily through loans made to construct or finance the operation of hotels. At December 31,
2024, this exposure was approximately $259.1
million, or 18.5%, of the total loan portfolio, along with an additional $2.9 million in unfunded debt, as
compared to $298.5 million, or 21.9%, of the total loan portfolio, along with an additional $5.7 million in unfunded debt as of December
31, 2023. The
hospitality industry is subject to changes in the travel patterns of business and leisure travelers, both of which are affected by the strength of the economy,
as well as other factors. The performance of the hospitality industry
has traditionally been closely linked with the performance of the general economy and,
specifically, growth in gross domestic product. Changes in travel patterns of both business and leisure travelers, particularly during periods of economic
contraction or low levels of economic growth, may create difficulties for the industry over the long-term. Although we have made a large portion of our
hospitality loans to long-term, well-established hotel operators in strategic locations, a
general downturn in the supply growth of such markets or hotel
occupancy or room rates could negatively impact the borrowers’ ability to repay. A significant loss in this portfolio could materially and adversely affect
the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations.
We have a concentration in commercial real estate lending that could cause our regulators to restrict our ability to grow.
 
As a part of their regulatory oversight, the federal regulators have issued guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk
Management Practices, or the CRE Concentration
Guidance, with respect to a financial institution’s concentrations in CRE lending activities. The CRE
Concentration Guidance identifies certain concentration levels that, if exceeded, will expose the institution to additional supervisory analysis
with regard to
the institution’s CRE concentration risk. The CRE Concentration Guidance is designed to promote appropriate levels of capital and sound loan and risk
management practices for institutions with a concentration of CRE loans. In
 general, the CRE Concentration Guidance establishes the following
supervisory criteria as preliminary indications of possible CRE concentration risk: (1) the institution’s total construction, land development and other land
loans represent 100%
or more of total capital; or (2) total CRE loans as defined in this guidance, or Regulatory CRE, represent 300% or more of total
capital, and the institution’s Regulatory CRE has increased by 50% or more during the prior 36-month period. Pursuant
 to the CRE Concentration
Guidance, loans secured by owner occupied CRE are not included for purposes of the CRE concentration calculation. As of December 31, 2024, our
Regulatory CRE represented 254.04% of our total Bank capital and our
construction, land development and other land loans represented 74.82% of our
total Bank capital, as compared to 290.69% and 73.97% as of December 31, 2023, respectively. During the prior 36-month period, our Regulatory CRE has
decreased 48.43%.
We are actively working to manage our Regulatory CRE concentration, and we believe that our underwriting policies, management
information systems, independent credit administration process, and monitoring of real estate loan concentrations are
currently sufficient to address the
CRE Concentration Guidance. We utilize enhanced CRE monitoring techniques as expected by banking regulators as our concentrations have approached
or exceeded the regulatory guidance. Nevertheless, the Federal
Reserve could become concerned about our CRE loan concentrations, and it could limit our
ability to grow by restricting its approvals for the establishment or acquisition of branches, or approvals of mergers or other acquisition opportunities, or
by
requiring us to raise additional capital, reduce our loan concentrations or undertake other remedial actions.
 
Because a portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of real estate loans, negative changes in the economy affecting real estate values and liquidity
could
impair the value of collateral securing our real estate loans and result in loan and other losses.
 
Adverse developments affecting real estate values, particularly in Oklahoma City and the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, could increase the credit
risk associated with our real estate loan
portfolio. Real estate values may experience periods of fluctuation, and the market value of real estate can fluctuate
significantly in a short period of time. Adverse changes affecting real estate values and the liquidity of real estate in one
or more of our markets could
increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio, and could result in losses that adversely affect credit quality, financial condition and results of
operation. Negative changes in the economy affecting
real estate values and liquidity in our market areas could significantly impair the value of property
pledged as collateral on loans and affect our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure without a loss or additional losses. Collateral
may have to be sold
for less than the outstanding balance of the loan, which could result in losses on such loans. Such declines and losses could have a material adverse impact
on our business, results of operations and growth prospects. If real
estate values decline, it is also more likely that we would be required to increase our
allowance, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents
Many of our loans are to commercial borrowers, which have a higher degree of risk than other types of loans.
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.38 billion of commercial purpose loans, which include general commercial, energy, agricultural, and
CRE loans, representing approximately 99.0% of
our gross loan portfolio. Commercial purpose loans are often larger and involve greater risks than other
types of lending. Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operation or development of the property or business
involved,
their repayment is more sensitive than other types of loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy.
 
Accordingly, a downturn in the real estate market or the general economy could heighten our risk related to commercial purpose loans, particularly energy
and CRE loans. Unlike residential mortgage
 loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to make repayment from their
employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial purpose loans
typically are made on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the commercial venture. If the cash flow from business
operations is reduced, the borrowers’ ability to repay the loan may be impaired. As a result
of the larger average size of each commercial purpose loan as
compared with other loans such as residential loans, as well as the collateral which is generally less readily marketable, losses incurred on a small number
of commercial purpose loans
could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our largest loan relationships make up a material percentage of our total loan portfolio.
 
As of December 31, 2024, our 20 largest borrowing relationships ranged from approximately $16.8 million to $45.1 million (including unfunded
commitments) and totaled approximately $552.1 million in
total commitments (representing, in the aggregate, 32.8% of our total outstanding commitments
as of December 31, 2024). Each of the loans associated with these relationships has been underwritten in accordance with our underwriting policies and
limits. Along with other risks inherent in these loans, such as the deterioration of the underlying businesses or property securing these loans, this
concentration of borrowers presents a risk that, if one or more of these relationships were to
become delinquent or suffer default, we could be exposed to
material losses. The allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover losses associated with any of these relationships, and any loss or increase in
the allowance would
negatively affect our earnings and capital. Even if these loans are adequately collateralized, an increase in classified assets could harm
our reputation with our regulators and inhibit our ability to execute our business plan.
 
Our largest deposit relationships currently make up a material percentage of our deposits and the withdrawal of deposits by our largest depositors could
force
us to fund our business through more expensive and less stable sources.
 
At December 31, 2024, our 20 largest deposit relationships accounted for 29.3% of our total deposits. Withdrawals of deposits by any one of our largest
depositors or by one of our related customer
groups could force us to rely more heavily on borrowings and other sources of funding for our business and
withdrawal demands, adversely affecting our net interest margin and results of operations. We may also be forced, as a result of
withdrawals of deposits, to
rely more heavily on other, potentially more expensive and less stable funding sources. Additionally, such circumstances could require us to raise deposit
rates in an attempt to attract new deposits, which would
adversely affect our results of operations. Under applicable regulations, if the Bank were no longer
“well capitalized,” the Bank would not be able to accept brokered deposits without the approval of the FDIC.
 
A substantial portion of our loan portfolio consists of loans maturing within one year, and there is no guarantee that these loans will be replaced upon
maturity or renewed on the same terms or at all.
 
As of December 31, 2024, approximately 40.3% of our gross loans were maturing within one year, compared to approximately 40.0% of our gross loans
that were maturing within one year as of December
31, 2023. As a result, we will either need to renew or replace these loans during the course of the year.
There is no guarantee that these loans will be originated or renewed by borrowers on the same terms or at all, as demand for such loans may
decrease.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that borrowers will qualify for new loans or that existing loans will be renewed by us on the same terms or at all, as
collateral values may be insufficient or the borrowers’ cash flow may be
materially less than when the loan was initially originated. This could result in a
significant decline in the size of our loan portfolio.

Our allowance for Credit losses may not be adequate to cover our actual credit losses, which could adversely affect our earnings.
 
We maintain an allowance for credit losses in an amount that we believe is appropriate to provide for losses inherent in the portfolio.  While we strive to
carefully monitor credit quality and to
identify loans that may become nonperforming, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in
losses but that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans.  We cannot be sure that we will be able
to identify deteriorating loans
before they become nonperforming assets or that we will be able to limit losses on those loans that are identified.  As a result, future additions to the
allowance may be necessary.  Additionally, future additions
may be required based on changes in the loans comprising the portfolio and changes in the
financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions or as a result of incorrect assumptions by management in
determining the allowance.  Federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for credit
losses.  These regulatory agencies may require us to increase our provision for credit losses
or to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their
judgments, which may be different from ours.  Any increase in the allowance for credit losses could have a negative effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.   Commercial
and commercial real estate loans comprise a significant portion of our total loan portfolio.   These types of loans
typically are larger than residential real estate loans and other consumer loans.  Because our loan portfolio contains a
significant number of commercial and
commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans may cause a significant increase in
nonperforming assets.  An increase in nonperforming loans could
result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the allowance for credit losses,
or an increase in loan charge-offs, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our profitability depends on interest rates generally, and we may be adversely affected by changes in market interest rates.
 
Our profitability depends in substantial part on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the amounts received by us on our
interest-earning assets and the interest
paid by us on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income depends on many factors that are partly or
completely outside of our control, including competition, federal economic, monetary and fiscal policies and economic conditions
 generally. Our net
interest income will be adversely affected if market interest rates change so that the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings increases faster than the
interest we earn on loans and investments.
 
Changes in interest rates could affect our ability to originate loans and deposits. Historically, there has been an inverse correlation between the demand for
loans and interest rates. Loan
origination volume usually declines during periods of rising or high interest rates and increases during periods of declining or
low interest rates. Changes in interest rates also have a significant impact on the carrying value of certain of our
assets, including loans and other assets, on
our balance sheet.
 
Interest rate increases often result in larger payment requirements for our borrowers, which increase the potential for default. At the same time, the
marketability of any underlying property that
serves as collateral for such loans may be adversely affected by any reduced demand resulting from higher
interest rates. An increase in interest rates that adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on loans may
lead to an increase in
nonperforming assets and a reduction of income recognized, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
Further, when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, we reverse any accrued
but unpaid interest receivable, which decreases interest income. Subsequently,
we continue to have a cost to fund the loan, which is reflected as interest expense, without any interest income to offset the associated funding expense.
Thus, an
increase in the amount of nonaccrual loans would have an adverse impact on net interest income.
 
Rising interest rates in prior periods have increased interest expense, which in turn has adversely affected net interest income, and may do so in the future if
the Federal Reserve raises
rates as anticipated. In a rising interest rate environment, competition for cost-effective deposits increases, making it more costly
to fund loan growth. In addition, a rising rate environment could cause mortgage and mortgage warehouse
lending volumes to substantially decline. Any
rapid and unexpected volatility in interest rates creates uncertainty and potential for unexpected material adverse effects. The Company actively monitors
and manages the balances of maturing and
repricing assets and liabilities to reduce the adverse impact of changes in interest rates, but there can be no
assurances that the Company can avoid all material adverse effects that such interest rate changes may have on the Company’s net
interest margin and
overall financial condition.
The ratio of variable- to fixed-rate loans in our loan portfolio, the ratio of short-term (maturing at a given time within 12 months) to long-term loans, and
the ratio of our demand, money market
 and savings deposits to certificates of deposit (and their time periods), are the primary factors affecting the
sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The composition of our rate-sensitive assets or
liabilities is subject to change and
could result in a more unbalanced position that would cause market rate changes to have a greater impact on our earnings. Fluctuations in market rates and
other market disruptions are neither predictable nor
controllable and may adversely affect our financial condition and earnings.

We rely on short-term funding, which can be adversely affected by local and general economic conditions.
 
As of December 31, 2024, approximately $1.28 billion, or 84.2%, of our deposits consisted of demand, savings, money market and negotiable order of
withdrawal, or NOW, accounts. Approximately $239.2
 million of the remaining balance of deposits consists of certificates of deposit, of which
approximately $231.7 million, or 96.9% of remaining deposits, was due to mature within one year. Based on our experience, we believe that our savings,
money market and non-interest-bearing accounts are relatively stable sources of funds. Historically, a majority of non-brokered certificates of deposit are
renewed upon maturity as long as we pay competitive interest rates. Many of these
customers are, however, interest-rate conscious and may be willing to
move funds into higher-yielding investment alternatives. Our ability to attract and maintain deposits, as well as our cost of funds, has been, and will
continue to be
significantly affected by general economic conditions. In addition, as market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressure to increase
the rates we pay on deposits. If we increase interest rates paid to retain deposits, our earnings may
be adversely affected.
 
Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and meet our obligations as they become due and could jeopardize our financial condition.
 
Liquidity is essential to our business. Liquidity risk is the potential that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they come due because of an inability
to liquidate assets or obtain adequate
funding. The Bank’s primary funding source is customer deposits. In addition, the Bank has historically had access to
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka, or the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, or the FRB, discount
window and other
wholesale sources, such as internet-sourced deposits to fund operations. We participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS,
where customer funds are placed into multiple certificates of deposit, each
in an amount under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000, and
placed at a network of banks across the United States. Although the Bank has historically been able to replace maturing deposits and advances as necessary,
it might not be
able to replace such funds in the future. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could
have a substantial negative effect on liquidity.
 
Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities or on acceptable terms could be impaired by factors that affect our organization
specifically or the financial services
industry or economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact access to liquidity sources include a decrease
in the level of our business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our loans are concentrated or adverse
regulatory actions against us.
The Bank’s ability to borrow or attract and retain deposits in the future could be adversely affected by the Bank’s financial condition or regulatory
restrictions, or impaired by factors that are not specific to it,
such as FDIC insurance changes, disruption in the financial markets or negative views and
expectations about the prospects for the banking industry. Borrowing capacity from the FHLB or FRB may fluctuate based upon the condition of the Bank
or the
acceptability and risk rating of loan collateral and counterparties could adjust discount rates applied to such collateral at the lender’s discretion.
 
The FRB or FHLB could restrict or limit the Bank’s access to secured borrowings. Correspondent banks can withdraw unsecured lines of credit or require
collateralization for the purchase of fed
funds. Liquidity also may be affected by the Bank’s routine commitments to extend credit. Market conditions or
other events could also negatively affect the level or cost of funding, affecting our ongoing ability to accommodate liability
 maturities and deposit
withdrawals, meet contractual obligations and fund asset growth and new business transactions at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner and without
adverse consequences.
 
Any substantial, unexpected or prolonged change in the level or cost of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations, and could impair our
ability to fund operations and meet our obligations as they become due and could jeopardize our financial condition.

We are exposed to cybersecurity risks associated with our internet-based systems and online commerce security, including “hacking” and “identify
theft.”
 
We conduct a portion of our business over the internet. We rely heavily upon data processing, including loan servicing and deposit processing, software,
communications and information systems from a
number of third parties to conduct our business.  As a bank, we are more likely to be targeted by cyber-
attacks in an effort to unlawfully access customer funds or customer personally identifiable information.
 
Third-party or internal systems and networks may fail to operate properly or become disabled due to deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Our
operations are vulnerable to disruptions from
 human error, natural disasters, power loss, computer viruses, spam attacks, denial of service attacks,
unauthorized access and other unforeseen events. Undiscovered data corruption could render our customer information inaccurate. These events
 may
obstruct our ability to provide services and process transactions. While we believe we are in compliance with all applicable privacy and data security laws,
an incident could put our customer confidential information at risk.
 
Although we have not experienced a cyber-incident which has been successful in compromising our data or systems, we can never be certain that all of our
systems are entirely free from vulnerability
to breaches of security or other technological difficulties or failures. We monitor and modify, as necessary, our
protective measures in response to the perpetual evolution of known cyber-threats.
 
A breach in the security of any of our information systems, or other cyber-incident, could have an adverse impact on, among other things, our revenue,
ability to attract and maintain customers and
our reputation. In addition, as a result of any breach, we could incur higher costs to conduct our business, to
increase protection, or related to remediation. Furthermore, our customers could incorrectly blame us and terminate their account with
us for a cyber-
incident which occurred on their own system or with that of an unrelated third party. In addition, a security breach could also subject us to additional
regulatory scrutiny and expose us to civil litigation and possible financial
liability.
 
Our operations could be interrupted if our third-party service providers experience difficulty, terminate their services or fail to comply with banking
regulations.
 
We depend to a significant extent on a number of relationships with third-party service providers. Specifically, we receive core systems processing,
essential web hosting and other internet systems,
loan and deposit processing and other processing services from third-party service providers. If these
third-party service providers experience financial, operational or technological difficulties or terminate their services and we are unable to
replace them
with other service providers, our operations could be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. Even if we are able to replace our service providers, it may be at a higher cost to
us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may be exposed to risk of environmental liabilities with respect to properties to which we take title.
 
In the course of our business, we may foreclose and take title to real estate, and we could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these
properties. We may be held liable to a
governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred
by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or we may be required to investigate or clean up hazardous or
toxic substances, or
chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities could be substantial. In addition, if we are the owner or
former owner of a contaminated site, we may be subject to claims by
third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination
emanating from the property. If we ever become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Inflationary pressures and rising prices may affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Inflation reached a near 40-year high in late 2021 and persisted at elevated levels during 2022 and 2023. While inflationary pressures have begun to
moderate, their effects continued into 2024. The
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the 12-month percent change in the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (not seasonally adjusted) for all items was 2.9% for December 2023 to December 2024, 3.4% for December 2022 to December
2023,
6.5% for December 2021 to December 2022, 7.0% for December 2020 to December 2021, 1.4% for December 2019 to December 2020, and 2.3% for
December 2018 to December 2019. Inflationary pressures have begun to moderate during 2024, and current
economic forecasts suggest a further easing in
2025.
 
Small to medium -sized businesses may be impacted more during periods of high inflation as they are not able to leverage economics of scale to mitigate
cost pressures compared to larger businesses. 
Consequently, the ability of our business customers to repay their loans may deteriorate, and in some cases
this deterioration may occur quickly, which would adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.   When the rate of
 inflation
accelerates, there is an erosion of consumer and customer purchasing power. Accordingly, this could impact our business by reducing our tolerance for
extending credit, and our customer’s desire to obtain credit, or causing us to incur
additional provisions for credit losses resulting from a possible increased
default rate.  Inflation may lead to lower loan re-financings.  Furthermore, a prolonged period of inflation could cause wages and other costs to further
increase which
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Sustained higher interest rates by the Federal Reserve may be needed to tame persistent inflationary price pressures, which could push down asset prices
and weaken economic activity.   A
 deterioration in economic conditions in the United States and our markets could result in an increase in loan
delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for our products and services, all
of which, in turn,
would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
A natural disaster affecting our market areas could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business is concentrated in Oklahoma, the Dallas/Ft. Worth and to a lesser extent Kansas.   Almost all of our credit exposure is in that area.  This
geographic region has been subject to
tornadoes and severe hail storms with occasional flooding.  Natural disasters could harm our operations directly
through interference with communications, which would prevent us from gathering deposits, originating loans, and processing and
controlling our flow of
business, as well as through the destruction of facilities and our operational, financial and management information systems.  A natural disaster or recurring
power outages may also impair the value of our loan portfolio,
as uninsured or underinsured losses, including losses from business disruption, may reduce
our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.  Disasters may also reduce the value of the real estate securing our loans, impairing our ability to recover
on
defaulted loans through foreclosure and making it more likely that we would suffer losses on defaulted loans.  The occurrence of natural disasters in our
market areas could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition, and results of operations.
 
Risks Relating to Our Regulatory Environment
 
We are subject to extensive regulation, which increases the cost and expense of compliance and could limit or restrict our activities, which in turn may
adversely impact our earnings and ability to grow.
 
We operate in a highly regulated environment and are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by a number of governmental regulatory agencies,
including the Federal Reserve, the OBD, and
the FDIC. Regulations adopted by these agencies, which are generally intended to provide protection for
depositors, customers and the DIF, rather than for the benefit of shareholders, govern a comprehensive range of matters relating to ownership
and control of
our shares, our acquisition of other companies and businesses, permissible activities for us to engage in, maintenance of adequate capital levels, dividend
payments and other aspects of our operations. These bank regulators possess
broad authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations
of law. Following examinations, we may be required, among other things, to change our asset valuations or the amounts of required credit loss allowances
or to restrict
 our operations, as well as increase our capital levels, which could adversely affect our results of operations. The laws and regulations
applicable to the banking industry could change at any time and we cannot predict the effects of these
changes on our business, profitability or growth
strategy. Increased regulation could increase our cost of compliance and adversely affect profitability. Moreover, certain of these regulations contain
significant punitive sanctions for
violations, including monetary penalties and limitations on a bank’s ability to implement components of its business plan,
such as expansion through mergers and acquisitions or the opening of new branch offices. In addition, changes in regulatory
requirements may add costs
associated with compliance efforts. Furthermore, government policy and regulation, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve, significantly
affect credit conditions. Negative developments in the financial
industry and the impact of new legislation and regulation in response to those developments
could negatively impact our business operations and adversely impact our financial performance.
 
16

Table of Contents
Monetary policy and other economic factors could affect our profitability adversely.
 
In addition to being affected by general economic conditions, our earnings and growth are affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve. An important
function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate
the money supply and credit conditions. Among the instruments used by the Federal Reserve to implement
these objectives are open market purchases and sales of U.S. government securities, adjustments of the discount rate and changes in banks’
 reserve
requirements against bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall economic growth and the distribution of
credit, bank loans, investments and deposits. Their use also affects interest rates
charged on loans or paid on deposits.
 
The monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are
expected to continue to do so in the
future. The effects of such policies upon our business, financial condition and results of operations cannot be predicted.
 
Regulations relating to privacy, information security and data protection could increase our costs, affect or limit how we collect and use personal
information
and adversely affect our business opportunities.
 
We are subject to various privacy, information security and data protection laws, including requirements concerning security breach notification, and we
could be negatively impacted by these laws.
For example, our business is subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which, among other things: (i) imposes
certain limitations on our ability to share non-public personal information about our customers with non-affiliated third parties; (ii)
requires that we provide
certain disclosures to customers about our information collection, sharing and security practices and afford customers the right to “opt out” of any
information sharing by us with non-affiliated third parties (with
 certain exceptions) and (iii) requires we develop, implement and maintain a written
comprehensive information security program containing safeguards appropriate based on our size and complexity, the nature and scope of our activities and
the
sensitivity of customer information we process, as well as plans for responding to data security breaches. Various state and federal banking regulators
and states have also enacted data security breach notification requirements with varying
levels of individual, consumer, regulatory or law enforcement
notification in certain circumstances in the event of a security breach. Moreover, legislators and regulators in the United States are increasingly adopting or
revising privacy,
information security and data protection laws that potentially could have a significant impact on our current and planned privacy, data
protection and information security-related practices, our collection, use, sharing, retention and
safeguarding of consumer or employee information, and
some of our current or planned business activities. Bank are required to notify their regulators within 36 hours of a “computer-security incident” that rises
to the level of a “notification
incident.” This could increase our costs of compliance and business operations and could reduce income from certain business
initiatives. This includes increased privacy-related enforcement activity at the federal level by the Federal Trade
Commission, as well as at the state level.
We rely on third parties, and in some cases subcontractors, to provide information technology and data services. Although we provide for appropriate
protections through our contracts and perform
information security risk assessments of its third-party service providers and business associates, we still
have limited control over their actions and practices. In addition, despite the security measures that we have in place to ensure
compliance with applicable
laws and rules, our facilities and systems, and those of our third-party providers may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism or theft,
computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human
errors or other similar events. In such cases, notification to affected individuals, state
and federal regulators, state attorneys general and media may be required, depending upon the number of affected individuals and whether personal
information including financial data was subject to unauthorized access.
 
Compliance with current or future privacy, data protection and information security laws (including those regarding security breach notification) affecting
customer or employee data to which we are
subject could result in higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain
products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions or results of operations. Our
failure to comply with
privacy, data protection and information security laws could result in potentially significant regulatory or governmental investigations or actions, litigation,
fines, sanctions and damage to our reputation, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
Shares of certain shareholders may be sold into the public market. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly.
 
Our principal shareholders (collectively, the “Haines Family Trusts”) have the benefit of certain registration rights covering all of their shares of our
common stock pursuant to the registration
rights agreement that we entered into with the Haines Family Trusts in connection with our initial public
offering. Sales of a substantial number of these shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause
the market price of
our common stock to decline or to be lower than it might otherwise be. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 approximately 55.8% of our outstanding
common stock is beneficially owned by our principal shareholders, executive
officers and directors. The substantial amount of common stock that is owned
by and issuable to our principal shareholders, executive officers and directors may adversely affect our share price, our share price volatility and the
development and
persistence of an active and liquid trading market. The sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of
additional equity securities.
 
We are controlled by insiders, whose interests may not coincide with our other shareholders.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Haines Family Trusts, management, and the board of directors control approximately 55.8% of our common stock. So long
as insiders continue to control more than 50% of
our outstanding shares of common stock, they will have the ability, if they vote in the same manner, to
determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, the approval of mergers, material
acquisitions and
dispositions and other extraordinary transactions, and amendments to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other corporate governance documents. In
addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in
 control of our Company and make some transactions more difficult or
impossible without the support of the Haines Family Trusts. The Haines Family Trusts also have certain rights, such as registration rights, that our other
shareholders do not
have. In any of these matters, the interests of the Haines Family Trusts may differ from or conflict with our interests as a company or
the interests of other shareholders. Accordingly, the Haines Family Trusts could influence us to enter into
transactions or agreements that other shareholders
would not approve or make decisions with which other shareholders may disagree.
 
We are a bank holding company and our only source of cash, other than further issuances of securities, is distributions from the Bank.
 
We are a bank holding company with no material activities other than activities incidental to holding the common stock of the Bank. Our principal source
of funds to pay distributions on our common
stock and service any of our obligations, other than further issuances of securities, would be dividends
received from the Bank. Furthermore, the Bank is not obligated to pay dividends to us, and any dividends paid to us would depend on the
earnings or
financial condition of the Bank and various business considerations. As is the case with all financial institutions, the profitability of the Bank is subject to
the fluctuating cost and availability of money, changes in interest rates
and in economic conditions in general. In addition, various federal and state statutes
limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company without regulatory approval.

Item 1C.   Cybersecurity
 
Risk Management and Strategy 
We outsource substantially all of our IT functions, including cybersecurity, through BankOnIT, LLC (“BankOnIT”), a third-party banking technology
service provider. BankOnIT provides significant resources to identify, assess and manage risks from cybersecurity threats, including:
 
 
•
Continuous 24/7/365 monitoring of our information systems;
 
•
Scanning of our information systems;
 
•
Continuous updating and testing processes;
 
•
Performing vulnerability assessments; and
 
•
Maintaining up-to-date firewall and anti-virus protections.
BankOnIT leverages certain industry and government associations and threat-intelligence resources to keep up to date on, and respond to, the latest
cybersecurity threats.
 
We engage in regular assessments of our infrastructure, software systems, and network architecture utilizing third-party cybersecurity professions,
including annual penetration testing and audits of our information technology systems to identify vulnerabilities and areas for additional enhancement.
Employees receive regular virtual and in-person security awareness training through simulated tests, company communications, and in-person training. We
also maintain a vendor management program to identify and assess risks of our third-party service providers.

 
Due to the type and volume of information that we collect and store to provide banking services to our customers, we are an attractive target for cyber
threat actors seeking financial gain. Our failure to maintain the safety of our customer’s information could have a material adverse effect on our reputation,
financial condition and results of operations. To date, we have not experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in a material adverse effect on our
business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition; however, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience such an incident in the future.
Although we maintain cybersecurity insurance, the costs and expenses related to cybersecurity incidents may not be fully insured. We describe whether
and
how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to
materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or
 financial condition under Item 1A. Risk Factors. We are exposed to
cybersecurity risks associated with our internet-based systems and online commerce security, including ‘hacking’ and ‘identify theft.’”
 
Governance
 
Our cybersecurity function is overseen by our COO/ IT Manager who has over 9 years’ experience managing such functions. IT functions are also managed
through our IT Committee which is comprised of several senior level executive officers and other Company employees and chaired by our COO/ IT
Manager.   The IT Committee governs all IT functions at the Company and selects, monitors and manages our third-party IT service providers that
implement and
maintain our cybersecurity functions.
 
We also maintain a Cyber Incident Response Team, which includes a board representative and an executive officer representative and is chaired by our
COO/IT Manager.  The Cyber Incident Response Team is charged with developing and implementing incident response and recovery plans to guide our
employees, management and the Board in their response to a cybersecurity incident.
 
Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management activities in general, including cybersecurity risks.  The full Board
receives a network health report at each board meeting from our COO/ IT Manager, which addresses our overall network risk including any relevant
cybersecurity threats and incidents.
 
Item 2.   Properties
 
The Company’s corporate offices are located at 1039 N.W. 63rd Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73116. The Company’s
principal corporate office space
is owned by the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 1039 NW 63rd, LLC, and consists of approximately 6,600 square feet, an annex of
approximately 4,400
square feet, and a 10,000 square foot operations building. We lease additional corporate office space located at 525 Central Park Drive, Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. The Bank operates from our corporate offices, eight full-service
branch offices located in Oklahoma, two full-service branch offices located in
southwest Kansas and two full-service branch offices located in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. Of these twelve locations, four are leased and
eight are owned
by the Bank.

Item 5.   Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “BSVN”. The approximate number of holders of record of the
Company’s common stock as of March 12, 2025 was 5.
 
We paid quarterly dividends of $0.21 per share with respect to each of the first two quarters of 2024, increasing to $0.24 per share for the third and fourth
quarters. We currently expect to
continue quarterly dividends of $0.24 per share in the future. Any future determination to pay dividends and the amount of
such dividends will be made by its Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including
•
historical and projected financial condition, liquidity and results of operations;
 
•
our capital levels and requirements;
 
•
statutory and regulatory prohibitions and other limitations;
 
•
any contractual restriction on our ability to pay cash dividends, including pursuant to the terms of any of our credit agreements or other
borrowing arrangements;
 
•
business strategy;
 
•
tax considerations;
 
•
any acquisitions or potential acquisitions;

CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among
other things, future events and our financial
performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as
“may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,”
 “intend,” “plan,”
“strive,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable
words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These
forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations,
estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are
inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by
the forward-looking
statements.
 
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements,
including, but not limited to, the
following:
 
•
our ability to effectively execute our expansion strategy and manage our growth, including identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions;
 
•
business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting our market areas of Oklahoma, the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and
Kansas, including a decrease in or the volatility of oil and gas
prices or agricultural commodity prices within the region;
 
 
•
the geographic concentration of our markets in Oklahoma, the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and Kansas;
 
 
•
high concentrations of loans secured by real estate and energy located in our market areas;
 
•
risks associated with our commercial loan portfolio, including the risk for deterioration in value of the general business assets that secure such
loans;
 
 
•
risks related to the significant amount of credit that we have extended to a limited number of borrowers;
 
 
•
our ability to maintain our reputation;
 
 
•
our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance;
 
 
•
reinvestment risks associated with a significant portion of our loan portfolio maturing in one year or less;
 
 
•
our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified management personnel;
 
•
our dependence on our management team, including our ability to retain executive officers and key employees and their customer and community
relationships;
 
 
•
interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability;
 
 
•
competition from banks, credit unions and other financial services providers;
 
 
•
system failures, service denials, cyber-attacks and security breaches;
 
 
•
our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
 
•
employee error, fraudulent activity by employees or customers and inaccurate or incomplete information about our customers and counterparties;
 
•

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and related

General
 
We are Bank7 Corp., a bank holding company headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank7, we operate
twelve full-service branches in Oklahoma, the Dallas/Fort
Worth, Texas metropolitan area and Kansas. We are focused on serving business owners and
entrepreneurs by delivering fast, consistent and well-designed loan and deposit products to meet their financing needs. We intend to grow organically by
selectively opening additional branches in our target markets and we will also pursue strategic acquisitions.
 
As a bank holding company, we generate most of our revenue from interest income on loans and from short-term investments.  The primary source of
funding for our loans and short-term investments are
deposits held by our subsidiary, Bank7.  We measure our performance by our return on average assets,
return on average equity, earnings per share, capital ratios, and efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the
sum of net
interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income.
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had total assets of $1.74 billion, total loans of $1.40 billion, total deposits of $1.52 billion and total shareholders’ equity of
$213.2 million.
 
The U.S. economy experienced widespread volatility throughout 2020 and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses to the
pandemic. Economic
condition declined rapidly and significantly following the initial widespread U.S. outbreak in March and April of 2020. Federal
stimulus was quickly passed in the form of the CARES Act and the economy rebounded significantly in the second half of
2020. In an emergency measure
aimed at dampening the economic impact of COVID-19, the Federal Reserve lowered the target for the federal funds rate to a range of between zero to
0.25% effective on March 16, 2020 where it remained through the end
of 2020. This action by the Federal Reserve followed a prior reduction of the
targeted federal funds rates to a range of 1.0% to 1.25% effective March 4, 2020.  As the pandemic eased through 2021 and inflation increased, the Federal
Reserve
aggressively raised the federal funds target rate to 4.25-4.50% by the end of 2022 and to 5.25%-5.50% by the end of 2023.  In 2024, the Federal
Reserve began to adjust monetary policy, ultimately lowering the federal funds rate three times,
ending the year with a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%.
These monetary policy actions, along with the impact of the elevated interest rate environment experienced earlier in 2024, influenced our net interest
income and credit quality throughout the
year.
2024 Overview
We reported total loans of $1.40 billion as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $36.5 million, or 2.7%, from December 31, 2023. Total deposits were
$1.52 billion as of December 31, 2024, a decrease
of $75.9 million, or 4.8%, from December 31, 2023.
Pre-tax net income was $60.4 million, an increase of $23.1 million, or 62.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to pre-tax net income of
$37.2 million for the same period in 2023.
Pre-tax return on average assets and return on average equity was 3.50% and 31.41%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to
2.21% and 23.47%, respectively, for the same
period in 2023. Tax-adjusted return on average assets and return on average equity was 2.65% and 23.78%,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 1.68% and 17.83%, respectively, for the same period in 2023. Our
efficiency ratio for
the year ended December 31, 2024 was 37.90% as compared to 36.07% for the same period in 2023.
The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $21.1 million, or 100%, from $21.1 million compared to the same period
in 2023. The
provision expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was related to loan growth in the first quarter of 2023, the impact of updated
economic assumptions, and we had a single loan customer that filed for bankruptcy, and as a result, we recorded
a charge-off of $16.5 million, increased
nonaccrual loans by $18.4 million, and recorded an additional specific reserve to the allowance for credit losses and provision for loan losses of $2.0
million.  See Note (6) of the financial statements
for further disclosure and discussion.

The FED influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. Our loan portfolio is
significantly affected by changes in the
prime interest rate. For the three-year period between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024, the prime rate
fluctuated between a high of 8.50%, and a low of 3.25%.
 
Interest income on short-term investments increased $740,000, or 8.6%, to $9.3 million for year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023, due to an
increase in the average balances of $9.7 million,
or 5.6% and a yield increase of 13 basis points.  Interest income on short-term investments increased $6.9
million, or 412.9%, to $8.6 million for year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2022, due to an increase in the average balances of $45.0
million, or
34.7% and a yield increase of 362 basis points.
 
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits totaled $45.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $39.0 million for 2023, an increase
of $6.3 million, or 16.3%. The increase was
related to the cost of interest-bearing deposits increasing to 3.98% for the year ended December 31, 2024 from
3.60% for the year ended December 31, 2023.  Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits totaled $39.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023,
compared to $9.3 million for 2022, an increase of $29.7 million, or 318.3%. The increase was related to the cost of interest-bearing deposits increasing to

We have established internal concentration limits in the loan portfolio for CRE loans, hospitality loans, energy loans, and construction loans, among others.
All loan types are within our
established limits. We use underwriting guidelines to assess each borrower’s historical cash flow to determine debt service,
and we further stress test the debt service under higher interest rate scenarios. Financial and performance covenants are
used in commercial lending to
allow us to react to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, should that occur. Discussion of credit risk as it relates to commercial lending, which is
primarily comprised of hospitality and energy loans, is
discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The allowance is based on management’s estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio. In the opinion of management, the allowance is adequate to
absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of
each balance sheet date. While management uses available information to analyze losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their
examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance, a comprehensive loan grading system to
determine risk potential in loans is utilized together with the results of internal
credit reviews.
 
To determine the adequacy of the allowance, the loan portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type. Historical loss experience factors by segment,
adjusted for changes in trends and
conditions, are used to determine an indicated allowance for each portfolio segment. These factors are evaluated and
updated based on the composition of the specific loan segment. Other considerations include volumes and trends of delinquencies,
nonaccrual loans, levels
of bankruptcies, criticized and classified loan trends, expected losses on real estate secured loans, new credit products and policies, economic conditions,
concentrations of credit risk and the experience and abilities
of our lending personnel. In addition to the segment evaluations, impaired loans with a balance
of $250,000 or more are individually evaluated based on facts and circumstances of the loan to determine if a specific allowance amount may be
necessary.
Specific allowances may also be established for loans whose outstanding balances are below the $250,000 threshold when it is determined that the risk
associated with the loan differs significantly from the risk factor amounts
established for its loan segment.
 
The allowance was $17.9 million at December 31, 2024, $19.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $14.7 million at December 31, 2022.  See the 2024

Nonperforming Assets
 
Loans are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more. Delinquent loans may remain on accrual status between
30 days and 90 days past due. Loans on
which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Typically, the accrual of
interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or when, in the opinion of management,
there is a reasonable
doubt as to collectability of the obligation. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against
current period interest income. Income on a nonaccrual loan is
subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan’s principal
balance is deemed collectible. Loans are restored to accrual status when loans become well-secured and management believes full collectability of
principal
and interest is probable.
 
Loans are evaluated for expected credit losses over their contractual term, reflecting management’s current estimate.  Loans placed on nonaccrual status
and loan modifications granted to
borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are considered to have elevated credit risk and are carefully considered within
our current expected credit loss methodology.  Income from loans placed on nonaccrual status continues to be recognized
to the extent cash is received and
when the collectability of the loan’s principal balance is reasonably assured.  Depending on a particular loan’s risk characteristics, we estimate expected
credit losses using methods such as present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, observable market prices for
similar assets if available, or the fair value of collateral less estimated costs to sell for collateral-dependent loans. A loan is
considered collateral-dependent
when the expected source of repayment is primarily the liquidation of the collateral. Fair value, where utilized, is determined by independent appraisals,
typically on an annual basis. Between appraisal periods,
the estimated fair value may be adjusted based on specific events, such as identified deterioration
of collateral quality through our credit risk monitoring, or discussions with the borrower indicating the appraised value may no longer reflect
current
market conditions. The estimated credit losses are recognized as an allowance for credit losses, which is a valuation account. Changes in the allowance for
credit losses, whether increases or decreases, are recorded in current period
earnings as provision for credit losses.
 
Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned, or OREO, until sold, and is
initially recorded at fair value less
costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.
 
Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of
nonperforming loans plus OREO. Loans accounted for
on a nonaccrual basis were $7.2 million as of December 31, 2024, $18.9 million as of December 31,
2023 and $8.0 million as of December 31, 2022. OREO was $321,000, $0, and $0 as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022,
respectively.

In addition to the past due and nonaccrual criteria, the Company also evaluates loans according to its internal risk grading system. Loans are segregated
between pass, watch, special mention,
and substandard categories. The definitions of those categories are as follows:
 
Pass: These loans generally conform to Bank policies, are characterized by policy-conforming advance rates on collateral, and have well-defined
repayment
sources. In addition, these credits are extended to borrowers and guarantors with a strong balance sheet and either substantial liquidity or a
reliable income history.
 
Watch: These loans are still considered “Pass” credits; however, various factors such as industry stress, material changes in cash flow or financial
conditions, or deficiencies in loan documentation, or other risk issues determined by the lending officer, Commercial Loan Committee or Credit Quality
Committee warrant a heightened sense and frequency of monitoring.
 
Special mention: These loans have observable weaknesses or evidence imprudent handling or structural issues. The weaknesses require close attention, and
the remediation of those weaknesses is necessary. No risk of probable loss exists. Credits in this category are expected to quickly migrate to “Watch” or
“Substandard” as this is viewed as a transitory loan grade.
 
33

Table of Contents
Substandard: These loans are not adequately protected by the sound worth and debt service capacity of the borrower, but may be well-secured. The loans
have
defined weaknesses relative to cash flow, collateral, financial condition or other factors that might jeopardize repayment of all of the principal and
interest on a timely basis. There is the possibility that a future loss will occur if
weaknesses are not remediated.
 
Substandard loans totaled $15.2 million as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $15.9 million compared to December 31, 2023. Substandard loans totaled
$31.1 million as of December 31, 2023, an
increase of $10.1 million compared to December 31, 2022. The total net decrease in substandard loans in 2024
as compared to 2023, is comprised of a net decrease in commercial and industrial substandard loans primarily related to a decrease in
one relationship
comprised of three notes totaling $18.4 million with a $2.0 million specific reserve, and a net increase in commercial real estate primarily related to two
relationships comprised of one note totaling $3.0 million with a $0.2
million specific reserve, and one note totaling $1.45 million with no specific reserve.
 
Outstanding loan balances categorized by internal risk grades as of the periods indicated are summarized as follows:

Deposits
 
We gather deposits primarily through our twelve branch locations and online though our website. We offer a variety of deposit products including demand
deposit accounts and interest-bearing
products, such as savings accounts and certificates of deposit. We put continued effort into gathering noninterest-
bearing demand deposit accounts through loan production cross-selling, customer referrals, marketing efforts and various
involvement with community
networks. Some of our interest-bearing deposits were obtained through brokered transactions. We participate in the CDARS program, where customer
funds are placed into multiple certificates of deposit, each in an
amount under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000, and placed at a network
of banks across the United States.  We also participate in the One-Way Buy Insured Cash Sweep service and similar services, which provide for one-way
buy
transactions among banks for the purpose of purchasing cost-effective floating-rate funding without collateralization or stock purchase requirements.
 
As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 brokered deposits were $336.7 million, $273.5 million, and $249.9 million, respectively.
 
Uninsured deposits are defined as the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit and amounts in any other uninsured
investment or deposit account that are
classified as deposits and are not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes. Total uninsured deposits
were $354.2 million and $448.7 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as calculated per regulatory
guidance. This was
approximately 23.4% and 28.2% of deposits at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
 
Total deposits as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $1.52 billion, $1.59 billion and $1.43 billion, respectively. The following table sets forth
deposit balances by certain categories as

Liquidity
 
Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating,
capital and strategic cash flow needs,
all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are
managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the
daily cash flow needs of
customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.
 
Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and access to alternative sources of funds. Our liquid assets include cash, interest-
bearing deposits in correspondent banks and
 fed funds sold. Other available sources of liquidity include wholesale deposits and borrowings from
correspondent banks and FHLB advances.
 
Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily met through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing
balances in our loan portfolios, and increases in
customer deposits. Other alternative sources of funds will supplement these primary sources to the extent
necessary to meet additional liquidity requirements on either a short-term or long-term basis.
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had no unsecured fed funds lines with correspondent depository institutions with no amounts advanced. In addition, based on
the values of loans pledged as collateral,
we had borrowing availability with the FHLB of $190.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and $159.2 million as of
December 31, 2023, and we had access to approximately $336.1 million in liquidity with the Federal Reserve Bank as of December 31,
2024 and $0 as of
December 31, 2023.

Capital Requirements
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital
requirements may result in certain
mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective
action” (described below), the
Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting policies. The capital amounts
and classifications are subject to qualitative judgments by the federal banking regulators about
components, risk weightings and other factors. Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy required the Bank to
maintain
minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1, or CET1, capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to
average consolidated assets, referred to as the “leverage ratio.” For further
 information, see “Supervision and Regulation – Regulatory Capital
Requirements” and “Supervision and Regulation – Prompt Corrective Action Framework.”
 
In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, the role of capital has become fundamentally more important, as banking regulators have
concluded that the amount and quality of
capital held by banking organizations was insufficient to absorb losses during periods of severely distressed
economic conditions. The Dodd-Frank Act and banking regulations promulgated by the U.S. federal banking regulators to implement Basel
 III have
established strengthened capital standards for banks and bank holding companies and require more capital to be held in the form of common stock. In
addition, the Basel III regulations implement a concept known as the “capital
conservation buffer.” In general, banks, bank holding companies with more
than $3.0 billion in assets and bank holding companies with publicly-traded equity are required to hold a buffer of CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-
weighted assets
over each minimum capital ratio in order to avoid being subject to limits on capital distributions (e.g., dividends, stock buybacks, etc.) and
certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action framework. There have been no
conditions or events since December 31, 2024 that
management believes would change this classification.

Shareholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding, allows for future growth and provides a cushion to withstand unforeseen adverse
developments. Total shareholders’ equity increased to
$213.2 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $170.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and
$144.1 million as of December 31, 2022. The increases were driven by retained capital from net income during the periods.

We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. We expect to
maintain adequate cash levels through
profitability, loan repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. We have in place
various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These
financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts
of those instruments reflect
the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.  To control this credit risk, the Company uses the same underwriting
standards as it uses for loans recorded on the balance sheet.
 
Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Standby letters of
credit are conditional commitments issued
by the Bank to guarantee the performance of the customer to a third party. They are intended to be disbursed,
subject to certain conditions, upon request of the borrower.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and conform to general practices within the industry in which we operate. To prepare financial
statements in conformity with GAAP, management
 makes estimates, assumptions and judgments based on available information. These estimates,
assumptions and judgments affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments
are
based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates,
assumptions and judgments reflected in the financial statement. In particular,
 management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the
estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements.
 
The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that we believe require us to make the most complex or subjective
decisions or assessments. Additional
information about these policies can be found in Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included
in the Annual Report on the Form 10-K.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The allowance is based on management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In the opinion of management, the allowance is
adequate to absorb estimated losses in the
portfolio as of each balance sheet date. While management uses available information to analyze losses on loans,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and changes in the composition of the
loan portfolio. In
addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance. In analyzing the adequacy
of the allowance, a comprehensive loan grading system to determine
risk potential in loans is utilized together with the results of internal credit reviews.
 
To estimate the allowance for credit losses, the loan portfolio is segmented based on shared risk characteristics, primarily by loan type.  Historical credit
loss experience for each segment,
adjusted for relevant current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, is a significant input in determining the
expected credit losses for each portfolio segment under the current expected credit loss methodology. These historical
loss factors and adjustments are
regularly evaluated and updated based on the evolving composition of each loan segment.   Other considerations in our current expected credit loss
estimation process include current volumes and trends of
delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, levels of bankruptcies, trends in criticized and classified loans,
expected losses on real estate secured loans, impact of new credit products and policies, current and forecasted economic conditions,
concentrations of
credit risk, and the experience and abilities of our lending personnel in the current environment.  In addition to these segment-level estimations, loans with
larger balances or unique risk profiles may be further analyzed
based on specific facts and circumstances to refine the overall expected credit loss estimate. 
This individual analysis helps ensure the allowance for credit losses appropriately reflects the expected losses inherent in the portfolio. 
Adjustments to the
segment-level or portfolio-level expected credit loss estimates may be necessary when specific loan characteristics warrant a different loss expectation than
indicated by the segment risk factors.
 
Goodwill and Intangibles
 
Intangible assets totaled $878,000 and goodwill, net of accumulated amortization totaled $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to
intangible assets of $1.0 million and goodwill, net of
accumulated amortization of $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
 
Goodwill resulting from a business combination represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition
date. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if other impairment indicators are
present.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written
down to its
implied fair value.  Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis based on an estimated useful life of 10 years. 
Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the
recoverability of their carrying values.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
 
The Company files a consolidated income tax return. Deferred taxes are recognized under the balance sheet method based upon the future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
periods when the related temporary differences are expected to be realized.
 
The amount of accrued current and deferred income taxes is based on estimates of taxes due or receivable from taxing authorities either currently or in the
future. Changes in these accruals are
reported as tax expense, and involve estimates of the various components included in determining taxable income, tax
credits, other taxes and temporary differences. Changes periodically occur in the estimates due to changes in tax rates, tax
 laws and regulations and
implementation of new tax planning strategies. The process of determining the accruals for income taxes necessarily involves the exercise of considerable
judgment and consideration of numerous subjective factors.
 
Management performs an analysis of the Company’s tax positions annually and believes it is more likely than not that all of its tax positions will be utilized
in future years.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial
liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The degree of management judgment involved in determining the
fair value of assets and liabilities is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For
financial instruments that
trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market parameters, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When
observable market prices and parameters are not available, management
 judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in market
conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or the observable date.
 
Debt securities that are being held for indefinite periods of time and are not intended to sell, are classified as available for sale and are stated at estimated
fair value. Unrealized gains or
losses on debt securities available for sale are reported as a component of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income,
net of income tax.
 
The Company reviews its portfolio of debt securities in an unrealized loss position at least quarterly. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell,
or it is more-likely-than-not that it
will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the
securities amortized cost basis is written down to fair value as a current period expense. If either of the above
criteria is not met, the Company evaluates
whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers, among other things, the
period of time the security has been in an
unrealized loss position, and performance of any underlying collateral and adverse conditions specifically related
to the security.
 
The estimates of fair values of debt securities and other financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. In some cases, fair values represent quoted
market prices for identical or
comparable instruments. In other cases, fair values have been estimated based on assumptions concerning the amount and
timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of risk. Accordingly, the fair
values may not represent actual
values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of year-end or that will be realized in the future.

Item 7a.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
 
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our financial management policy provides management with the
guidelines for effective funds
management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We
have historically managed our sensitivity position within our established guidelines.
 
Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market
value of all interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of
economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net
interest income and/or a loss of current
fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the
same time maximizing income.
 
We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not enter into instruments such as
leveraged derivatives, financial options or
financial future contracts to mitigate interest rate risk from specific transactions. Based upon the nature of our
operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.
 
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Asset/Liability Committee, or the ALCO Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the
Company’s board of directors. The ALCO Committee
formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate
level of interest rate risk, the ALCO Committee considers the impact on earnings and capital on the current outlook on interest rates,
potential changes in
interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The ALCO Committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the
sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the
book and market values of assets and liabilities, commitments to originate loans and the
maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the ALCO Committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer
and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and an interest rate shock simulation
model.
 
We use interest rate risk simulation models and shock analyses to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the
impact of changes in interest rates on
other financial metrics. Contractual maturities and re-pricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model.
The average lives of non-maturity deposit accounts are based on decay assumptions and are incorporated into the model. We
utilize third-party experts to
periodically evaluate the performance of our non-maturity deposit accounts to develop the decay assumptions. All of the assumptions used in our analyses
are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot
precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in
market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency
of interest
rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.

Table of Contents
On a quarterly basis, we run various simulation models including a static balance sheet and dynamic growth balance sheet. These models test the impact on
net interest income and fair value of
equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static model and dynamic growth
models, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rates change over a 12-month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel and
non-parallel yield curve
shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Non-parallel simulation
involves analysis of interest income and expense under various
changes in the shape of the yield curve. Our internal policy regarding internal rate risk
simulations currently specifies that for gradual parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year
period
should not decline by more than 10% for a -100 basis point shift, 5% for a 100 basis point shift, 10% for a 200 basis point shift, 15% for a 300 basis point
shift, and 20% for a 400 basis point shift.
 
The following table summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated:

The results are primarily due to behavior of demand, money market and savings deposits during such rate fluctuations. We have found that, historically,
interest rates on these deposits change more
slowly than changes in the discount and fed funds rates. This assumption is incorporated into the simulation
model and is generally not fully reflected in a gap analysis. The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and,
as a result, the model
cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual
results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to
 timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market
conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.
Impact of Inflation
 
Our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These require
the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over
time due to inflation or recession.
 
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant
impact on our performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same
magnitude as the prices of goods and services. However, other operating expenses do reflect general levels of inflation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Shareholders, Board of Directors, and Audit Committee
Bank7 Corp.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bank7 Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related
consolidated statements
of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s
internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements
based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements which was communicated or is
required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion
on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical
audit matter or on the
accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s total loans and associated allowance for credit losses (ACL) were
$1.4
billion and $17.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The amount of the ACL represents management’s best estimate of current expected
credit losses on loans considering all available information from internal and external sources,
 relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the
contractual term of the loans. Loans with similar risk characteristics are aggregated into homogenous segments for assessment.
For substantially all loan segments, the Company uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate expected losses. For each loan segment, the Company
generates
cash flow projections at the instrument level adjusting payment expectations for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, probability of default,
and loss given default.
Management qualitatively adjusts its model results for risk factors not considered within the modeling processes but still relevant in assessing the expected
credit losses within the loan pools.
Auditing management’s estimate of the ACL involved a high degree of subjectivity due to management’s identification and measurement of the qualitative
factor
adjustments being highly judgmental.
The primary procedures we performed related to this critical audit matter included:
•
Obtained an understanding of the Company’s process for establishing the qualitative adjustment.
•
Evaluated and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the establishment of qualitative factors.
•
Evaluated the qualitative adjustments to the ACL including assessing the basis for adjustments and the reasonableness of the significant
assumptions.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Operations
 
Bank7 Corp. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary,
Bank7 (the “Bank”).  The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers
located in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial
institutions. The Company is subject to the regulation of
certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and its two subsidiaries, 1039 NW 63rd, LLC, which
holds real estate utilized by the Bank, and Giddings
Production, LLC, which is engaged in the production of oil, natural gas and natural liquid (“NGL”)
reserves in Texas. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
requires
management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
 
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, income
 taxes,
goodwill and intangibles and fair values of financial instruments.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2022 consolidated financial statements to conform to classification used for December 31, 2023. These
reclassifications had no impact on net income,
shareholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported.

Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents may include
deposits held at Federal Home Loan Banks, which are not insured by the FDIC.
 
Interest-Bearing Time Deposits in Other Banks
 
Interest-bearing time deposits in other banks totaled $6.7 million and $17.7 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively, and have
original maturities generally ranging from three months to five years.
 
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
 
Available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately in
 other
comprehensive income, except for the credit-related impairment, as discussed in the following section. The Company currently has no
securities designated
as trading or held-to-maturity. Interest income is recognized at the coupon rate adjusted for amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts.
Discounts are accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the
related security and premiums are amortized against income to the earlier of the
call date or weighted average life of the related security using the interest method. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date
and are
determined using the specific identification method. They are included in noninterest income or expense and, when applicable, are reported as a
reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive income(loss).

Allowance for Credit Losses – Investment Securities
On January 1, 2023, the Company was required to adopt a new credit loss methodology, the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)
methodology.

Allowance for Credit Losses - AFS Securities - The Company evaluates its available-for-sale securities portfolio on a
quarterly basis for potential credit-
related impairment. The Company assesses potential credit impairment by comparing the fair value of a debt security to its amortized cost basis. If the fair
value of a debt security is greater than the
amortized cost basis, no impairment is recognized. If the fair value is less than the amortized costs basis, the
Company reviews the factors to determine if the impairment is credit-related or noncredit-related. For debt securities the Company
intends to sell or is more
likely than not required to sell, before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, the difference between fair value and amortized cost is impaired and is
recognized through earnings. For debt securities the Company
does not intend to sell and is not more likely than not required to sell, prior to expected
recovery of amortized cost basis, the credit portion of the impairment is recognized through earnings, with a corresponding entry to an allowance for
credit
losses, and the noncredit portion is recognized through accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
 
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses,
if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income
and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of
the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon the sale of the loan.
Loans
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost.
Amortized
cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts. Accrued interest receivable totaled $8.8 million and $8.7 million at
December
31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was reported in interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The
Company has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the
estimate of credit losses. Interest income is
accrued on the unpaid principal balance using the simple-interest method on the daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding.
 
For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct
origination costs,
as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized over the respective term of the loan.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past-
due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on
nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or
interest is considered doubtful.
 
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest
on these loans
is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal
and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future
payments are reasonably assured.
Loans acquired through business combinations are required to be carried at fair value as of the date of the combination. Fair value is the price
that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market
participants at the measurement date.

Allowance for Credit Losses
 
On January 1, 2023, the Company was required to adopt a new credit loss methodology, the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology. 
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 the loans. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of
loan amounts, net of recoveries.   Loans are charged off against the allowance when
 management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is
confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Expected credit loss
inherent in non-cancellable off-balance
sheet credit exposures is accounted for as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
The allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the
loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay and
estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to
significant revision as more information becomes available. 

The methodology for estimating the amount of credit losses reported in the
 allowance for credit losses has two basic components: an asset-specific
component involving loans that do not share risk characteristics and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and a pooled
component for expected
credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.
Loans That Do Not Share
Risk Characteristics (Individually Analyzed)

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis.  Loans deemed to be collateral dependent have differing risk
characteristics and are individually analyzed to estimate the expected credit loss.
A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial
difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on the operation or liquidation and sale of the underlying collateral. For collateral dependent loans where
foreclosure
is probable, the expected credit loss is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral (less selling cost) and the
amortized cost basis of the asset. For collateral dependent loans where foreclosure is not probable,
the Company has elected the practical expedient allowed
by ASC 326-20 to measure the expected credit loss under the same approach as those loans where foreclosure is probable. For loans with balances greater
than $250,000, the fair value of the collateral is obtained through independent appraisal of the underlying collateral. For loans with balances less than
$250,000, the Company has made a policy election to measure expected loss for these individual loans utilizing loss rates for similar
loan types.

Loans That Share Similar
Risk Characteristics (Pooled Loans)

The general steps in determining expected credit losses for the pooled loan component of the allowance are as follows:

•
Segment loans into pools according to similar risk characteristics;
•
Develop historical loss rates for each loan pool segment;
•
Incorporate the impact of forecasts;
•
Incorporate the impact of other qualitative factors; and
•
Calculate and review pool specific allowance for credit loss estimate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Methodology

The weighted-average remaining maturity method (“WARM”) methodology is utilized
as the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses for consumer
segment loans. The WARM method uses a historical average annual charge-off rate. This average annual charge-off rate contains loss content over a
historical lookback period
and is used as a foundation for estimating the credit loss reserve for the remaining outstanding balances of loans in a segment at
the balance sheet date. The average annual charge-off rate is applied to the contractual term, further adjusted for
estimated prepayments, to determine the
unadjusted historical charge-off rate. The calculation of the unadjusted historical charge-off rate is then adjusted for current conditions and for reasonable
and supportable forecast periods. Adjustments
to historical loss information 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, or other relevant factors. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in
the portfolio that are not reflected in our historic loss factors.

A discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology is utilized to calculate expected
cash flows for the life of each individual loan, with the exception of
consumer segment loans. The discounted present value of expected cash flow is then compared to the loan’s amortized cost basis to determine the credit
loss estimate. 
Individual loan results are aggregated at the pool level in determining total reserves for each loan pool.

The primary inputs used to calculate expected cash flows include historical
loss rates which reflect probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default
(“LGD”), and prepayment rates.  The historical look-back period is a key factor in the calculation of the PD rate and is based on management’s assessment
of current and
forecasted conditions and may vary by loan pool.  LGD rates generally reflect the historical average net loss rate by loan pool.  Expected
cash flows are further adjusted to incorporate the impact of loan prepayments which will vary by loan
segment and interest rate conditions.  In general,
prepayment rates are based on peer group benchmark reporting of observed prepayment rates occurring in the loan portfolios of the peer group, and
consideration of forecasted interest rates.

Forecast Factors

Adjustments are made to incorporate the impact of forecasted conditions. 
Certain assumptions are also applied, including the length of the forecast and
reversion periods. The forecast period is the period within which management is able to make a reasonable and supportable assessment of future conditions.
The
reversion period is the period beyond which management believes it can develop a reasonable and supportable forecast, and bridges the gap between
the forecast period and the use of historical default and loss rates. The remainder period reflects
the remaining life of the loan. The length of the forecast
and reversion periods are periodically evaluated and based on management’s assessment of current and forecasted conditions and may vary by loan pool.
For purposes of developing a
reasonable and supportable assessment of future conditions, management utilizes established industry and economic data
points and sources, with the forecasted unemployment rate being a significant factor. PD rates for the forecast period will be
adjusted accordingly based on
management’s assessment of future conditions. PD rates for the remainder period will reflect the historical mean PD rate. Reversion period PD rates reflect
the difference between forecast and remainder period PD
rates closed using a straight-line adjustment over the reversion period.

Qualitative Factors

Loss rates are further adjusted to account for other risk factors that impact
 loan defaults and losses. These basis point adjustments are based on
management’s assessment of trends and conditions that impact credit risk and resulting credit losses, more specifically internal and external factors that are
independent of and
 not reflected in the quantitative loss rate calculations. Risk factors management considers in this assessment include trends in
underwriting standards, nature/volume/terms of loan originations, past due loans, loan review systems, collateral
 valuations, concentrations,
legal/regulatory/political conditions, and the unforeseen impact of natural disasters.

Purchased Loans

When a loan portfolio is purchased, an allowance is established for those loans
considered purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration
(“PCD”), and those not considered purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration (“non-PCD”). The allowance established utilizes the same
risk factors discussed
above for our non-acquired allowance. The allowance established for non-PCD loans is recognized through provision expense upon
acquisition, whereas the allowance established for loans considered PCD at acquisition is offset by an increase in the
basis of the acquired loans. Any
subsequent increases and decreases in the allowance related to acquired loans are recognized through provision expense, with future charge-offs recorded to
the allowance.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance
Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in
which it is exposed to credit risk through a contractual obligation to extend
credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is
adjusted as a
provision for credit loss expense and is recorded in interest payable and other liabilities. 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 and applies the same
estimated loss rate as determined for current outstanding loan balances by segment.

Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to operating expense and is computed using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized.
Premises and
equipment is tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of any premises and
equipment may not be recoverable. Premises that are identified to be sold are transferred to other real
estate owned at the lower of their carrying amounts or
their fair values less estimated costs to sell. Any losses on premises identified to be sold are charged to operating expense.

  
Leases
Certain operating leases are included as right of use lease assets in
interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and a related lease
liability is included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Right of use assets represent the Company’s right to
use an
underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The lease
liability is measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments, and the right
of use assets value is derived from the calculation of the lease liability.
To calculate the discount rate for each lease, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease if available, otherwise an appropriate Federal Home Loan Bank
(“FHLB”)
advance borrowing rate is used that correlates with the term of the lease.

Non-Marketable Equity Securities
 
Non-marketable equity securities consist primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka stock and Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City stock and
are
required investments for financial institutions that are members of the FHLB and Federal Reserve systems.  The required investment in common stock is
based on a predetermined formula, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.
 
Long-Lived Asset Impairment
 
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying
amount may
not be recoverable.  If a long-lived asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows is expected to result from the use and
eventual disposition of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the
asset, the asset cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as
the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
 
No asset impairment was
recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
 
Foreclosed assets held for sale consist of assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure and are initially recorded at fair value,
less cost to sell at the
date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are
carried at the lower of carrying amount of fair value less costs to
sell.  Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are
included in current operations.
 
Business Combinations
 
The acquisition method of accounting is used for business combinations. Under the acquisition accounting method, the acquiring Company
recognizes
100% of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair value. The excess of fair value of the consideration transferred over the
acquisition date fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Asset Acquisition

The fair value of assets acquired is measured and recognized at the amount of monetary assets or liabilities exchanged, which
generally includes the
transaction costs of the assets acquired. No gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of any noncash assets given as consideration differs from the
assets carrying amounts on the acquiring entities books.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets totaled $878,000
and goodwill, net of accumulated amortization totaled $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to
intangible assets
of $1.0 million and goodwill, net of accumulated amortization of $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Goodwill resulting from a business combination represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of
the net assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if other impairment indicators are
present.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its
carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its
implied fair value.  Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis based on an estimated useful life
of 10 years. 
Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying values.
 
Segments
 
The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. Operating segments are defined as components of a business
about which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
performance.  While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services offered by
the Bank, the Company’s operations are
managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis as a single reportable operating segment, which is the Bank.

Discrete financial information, with a full allocation of revenue, costs, and capital from key corporate functions, is not available at a level other than on a
Company-wide basis. Although the CODM has some limited financial information about the
Company’s various financial products and services, this
information is not complete and is insufficient for making resource allocation decisions or performance assessments at a more granular level. Therefore,
management considers all financial
 service operations to be aggregated within one reportable operating segment, the Bank, and evaluates financial
performance on a
company-wide basis using net income as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.  The measure of segment assets is total
assets, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The CODM uses net income to monitor budget versus
 actual results and in the
determination of allocating resources across the Company.

The Company’s single reportable segment, the Bank, generates revenues primarily from interest income from financial instruments and non-interest income
and service charges on deposit accounts.   There are no intra-entity sales or transfers within
 the Company. Management continues to evaluate the
Company’s business units for potential separate reporting in the future as facts and circumstances evolve.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation as
salaries and employee benefits expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
based on the fair value of the Company’s stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) on the measurement date, which, for the Company, is the
date
of the grant. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was based on certain
assumptions including risk-free rate of return, dividend yield, stock price
volatility and the expected term. The fair value of each RSU granted is equal to
the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The fair value of each option and RSU is expensed over its vesting period.
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that the tax position would be sustained in
a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount
recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50%
likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
 
The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31,
2024,
2023 and 2022, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.  We are no
longer subject to
U.S. federal or state tax examinations for years before 2021.
 

Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income includes all changes in shareholders’ equity during a period, except those resulting from transactions with shareholders.
Besides net
income, other components of the Company’s comprehensive income includes the after tax effect of changes in the net unrealized gain/loss on debt
securities available-for-sale. The Company’s policy is to release material stranded tax
effects included in accumulated other comprehensive income on a
specific identification basis.
Revenue Recognition 

In addition to lending and related activities, the Company offers various services to customers that generate revenue. Contract performance typically occurs
in one year or less. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred
when the amortization period is one year or less. 

Service and transaction fees on depository accounts
 
Customers often pay certain fees to the bank to access the cash on deposit including certain non-transactional fees such as account maintenance
 or
dormancy fees, and certain transaction based fees such as ATM, wire transfer, or foreign exchange fees. Revenue is recognized when the transactions occur
or as services are performed over primarily monthly or quarterly periods. Payment is
typically received in the period the transactions occur, or in some
cases, within 90 days of the service period.

Interchange Fees
 
Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to the processors who, in turn, share that revenue with us and other
card-issuing banks for
processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange fees represent the portion of the debit card transaction amount that the card issuer retains to
compensate it for processing transactions and providing rewards.
Interchange fees are settled and recognized on a daily or monthly basis. Interchange fees
are included with noninterest income and recorded net of related expenses as the Bank acts as an agent, introducing the customer transactions to the
processor.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--Specific to Production of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Operations

Use of Estimates

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include, the proved oil, and natural gas and NGL reserves used in the
valuation of oil and gas
properties, asset retirement obligations, fair value of derivatives and revenue accruals. It is possible these estimates could be revised in the near term and
these revisions could be material.

The Company’s estimates of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves are, by necessity, projections based on geologic and engineering
 data, and there are
uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data, as well as the projection of future rates of production. Reserve engineering is a subjective process
of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas, and
NGL that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of
the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil, natural gas and NGL
reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area
compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effect of regulations by
governmental agencies, and assumptions governing future oil,
natural gas, and NGL prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For
these reasons, estimates
of the economically recoverable quantities of expected oil, natural gas, and NGL attributable to any particular group of properties,
classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows may vary
substantially. Any significant variance in the
assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and
NGL properties and/or the rate of depletion
related to the oil, natural gas, and NGL properties.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s oil and gas related accounts receivable primarily consists of oil, natural gas and NGL receivables and joint
interest billings to our partners
for their share of expenses on projects for which we are the operator. These balances are generated when estimating and accruing for expected oil, natural
gas and NGL sales, upon receipt of oil, natural gas and
NGL sales and when our cost is cutback to our joint interest partners.  The oil and gas related
accounts receivable balance is included in “Interest receivable and other assets” on the consolidated balances sheets.

Additionally, due to the creditworthiness of our purchasers, we do not have any allowance for doubtful accounts recorded and do
not expect to write off any
portion of our oil and gas related accounts receivable.

Accounts Payable

The Company’s oil and gas related accounts payable balance primarily consists of trade payables owed to vendors that
provide services and equipment for
the wells and assets that we operate. The oil and gas related accounts payable balance is included in “Interest payable and other liabilities” on the
consolidated balances sheets.

Bank7 Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition

We
recognize revenue from the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs in the period that the performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with ASC 606.
Our performance obligations are primarily comprised of the delivery of oil, natural gas or
NGLs at a delivery point (pipeline, railcar or truck). Each barrel
of oil, MMBtu of natural gas or other unit of measure is separately identifiable and represents a distinct performance obligation to which the transaction
price is allocated.
The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced, if required, by calendar
month based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically received within 30 days of the end of the production month. Performance
obligations are satisfied at a point in time once control of the product has been
transferred to the customer through monthly delivery of oil, natural gas and
NGLs. Revenue from the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs is included in “Other” noninterest income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, and taxes
assessed by governmental authorities on oil, natural gas and NGL sales are included in “Other” noninterest expense on the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.

Oil and Gas Property (Successful Efforts Method of Accounting)

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas production activities. Costs incurred by the Company related to the
acquisition of oil and gas properties and the cost of
drilling development wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment,
delay rentals, lease and well operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses arising from sales of production are
generally included in
the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Capitalized acquisition costs attributable to proved oil and gas properties are depleted by formation or field using the unit-of-production method based on
proved reserves. Capitalized development costs, including asset retirement obligations,
 are amortized by producing unit, based on proved developed
producing reserves. Depletion, depreciation, and amortization expense related to proved oil and gas properties was $2.7 million and $3.6 million for the
years ended December 31,
2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in “Other” noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income.

Capitalized costs are evaluated for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(ASC Topic 360), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying
amount may not be recoverable.

The
fair values of proved properties are measured using valuation techniques consistent with the income approach, converting future cash flows to a single
discounted amount. Significant inputs used to determine the fair values of proved properties
include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating; (iii)
future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in the Company’s
estimated cash flows are the
product of a process that begins with applicable forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials,
as well as other factors that Company management believes will impact realizable prices.

To
determine if a depletable unit is impaired, the carrying value of the depletable unit is compared to the undiscounted future net cash flows by applying
management’s estimates of future oil and gas prices to the estimated future production of
oil and gas reserves over the economic life of the property and
deducting future costs. Future net cash flows are based upon third party reservoir engineers’ estimates of proved reserves and internal management
estimates for probable and
possible reserves. For a property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying
value and the estimated fair value of the impaired property will be recognized. Fair value, on a depletable unit basis,
is estimated to be the present value of
the aforementioned expected future net cash flows. Each part of this calculation is subject to a large degree of judgment, including the determination of the
depletable units’ estimated reserves, future
net cash flows and fair value. No impairment expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024.

There were no costs of unproved properties at December 31, 2024, and during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized no
abandonment expense.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The
Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires recognition of liabilities for retirement obligations
associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites when there is a legal
obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the
amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting
asset retirement
cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the assumptions used to
estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement
obligation and the asset retirement cost. The asset
retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to that used for the associated property and equipment. The Company’s asset
retirement obligations relate to the
plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and natural gas properties.  The asset
retirement obligation balance is included in “interest payable and other liabilities” on the consolidated of balance
sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

All
derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet and are measured at fair value using mark-to-market accounting.

Derivatives
During 2023, the Company entered into a certain oil derivative position. The Company primarily utilizes oil swap contracts to (i) reduce the effect of
price
volatility on the commodities the Company produces and sells or consumes, and (ii) reduce commodity price risk associated with certain capital projects.
 
By using derivative financial instruments to economically hedge exposures to changes in commodity prices, the Company exposes itself to credit risk
and
market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract
is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk. The
Company is not required to post any collateral. The Company does not
receive collateral from its counterparties. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments as defined under accounting
guidance.
 
The Company nets derivative assets and liabilities by commodity where legal right to such netting exists. Therefore, the Company’s derivatives are
presented on a net basis on the consolidated balance sheets in “Interest receivable and other assets” or “Interest payable and other liabilities”. Unrealized
and realized gains or losses are recognized in “Other” noninterest income on the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
 
With respect to its derivatives, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized gain of $0.1 million for the
years ended
December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and recognized a realized loss of $0.2 million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024,
and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Adopted During Current Period:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU
2023-
07”), which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in
this update introduce a new requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly
provided to the chief operating decision maker, extend certain
annual disclosures to interim periods, clarify that single reportable segment entities must apply Topic 280 in its entirety, permit more than one measure of
segment profit or loss to
be reported under certain conditions and require disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker. ASU
2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 and concluded the impact to be
immaterial on its consolidated financial position, results
of operations, or disclosures. See Note 1 for the corresponding segments disclosure.

Standards Not Yet Adopted:

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of
Convertible Debt Instruments. This ASU clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be
accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company does not currently have any convertible debt instruments; therefore, the Company does not expect the adoption of this
ASU to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This
ASU requires public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain expense captions,
including compensation costs, depreciation and
amortization, advertising costs, shipping and handling costs, and research and development costs, in the notes to their financial statements. The
amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), primarily
focused on income tax disclosures regarding effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09
requires public business entities, on an annual
basis, to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if
the effect of those reconciling
items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the applicable statutory
income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, with early
adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 and concluded that the adoption impact is not material as it will
primarily result in expanded income tax disclosures in the notes to
the financial statements.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments
 
In April 2020, the Company began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by
the Small
Business Administration (SBA). PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and thus have a zero percent risk weight under applicable risk-based capital
rules. The Company had no PPP loans as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one
PPP loan with a balance of $2.0 million.
The Company recognized $0 in fee income during the year ended December 31, 2024, with $0
remaining to be recognized, as compared to $50,000
recognized and $0 to be recognized as of December 31, 2023.
Subsequent
Events
The
Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.  There were no subsequent events requiring
recognition or disclosure.
Note 2: Recent Events, Including Mergers and Acquisitions
Acquisition
On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement, effective September 1, 2023, to acquire proven oil and natural gas
properties from HB2 Origination, LLC, which consisted of nine wells in formations in four
counties in Texas for $15.4 million in cash. On November 17,
2023, the transaction closed for a total purchase price of $15.1 million, after closing adjustments. As a part of the purchase, the Company assumed asset
retirement obligations of $0.4 million that were included in “interest payable and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31,
2023. The acquisition
 was considered an asset acquisition and did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, Business Combinations.
Additionally, transaction costs of $1.4
million were capitalized into oil and gas properties related to this acquisition. The purchase price and related asset
retirement obligations were allocated based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and $1.7 million was allocated to proved leasehold costs while
the remaining $15.4 million was allocated to “interest receivable and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31,
2024, the Company had oil and gas assets and related receivables of $12.1 million included in “interest receivable and other assets” on
the consolidated balance sheets, assets retirement obligations and oil and gas related liabilities of $0.9 million included in
“interest payable and other
liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets, oil and gas related revenues of $8.5 million included in
“Other” noninterest income on the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, and oil and gas related expenses of $4.8 million
 included in “Other” noninterest expense on the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had oil and gas assets and related receivables of $16.8 million included in “interest receivable and other assets” on
the consolidated balance sheets, assets retirement obligations and oil and gas
related liabilities of $1.3 million included in “interest payable and other
liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets, oil and gas
related revenues of $6.0 million included in “Other” noninterest income on the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, and oil
 and gas related expenses of $4.8 million included in “Other” noninterest expense on the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.

Note 3: Restriction on Cash and Due from Banks
 
On March 26, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent, effectively eliminating reserve requirements
for all
depository institutions. There was no reserve requirement as of December 31, 2024.
Note 4: Earnings per Share
 
Basic earnings per common share represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during
 the
reporting period. Basic EPS is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
 
Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding including common stock that
would
have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted
EPS is computed based upon net income dividend by the weighted average number of
commons shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for the
effect of dilutive potential common shares, such as restricted stock awards and nonqualified stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table details gross unrealized losses and fair values of investment securities aggregated by investment category and length of time that the
individual
securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the
Company had the ability and intent to hold the debt securities classified as available-for-sale for a period of
time sufficient for a recovery of cost. The
unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying debt securities were purchased and
acquired. The fair value of those debt securities
having unrealized losses is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing
date, or if market yields for such investments decline. Management has no intent or requirement to sell before the recovery of the
unrealized loss; therefore,
no impairment loss was realized in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13,
which replaces the incurred loss methodology for determining its provision for credit losses and
allowance for credit losses with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL model. See Note (1) for additional information
regarding the
factors that influenced the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses. Upon adoption, the allowance for credit losses was increased by $250,000
and $500,000 for loans and unfunded commitments, respectively, with no impact to the
consolidated statement of income. Subsequent to the adoption of
ASU 2016-13, the Company recorded a $21.2 million and ($36,000) provision for credit losses related to loans and unfunded commitments, respectively,
for the twelve months of 2023 utilizing the newly
adopted CECL methodology.

Internal Risk Categories
 
Each loan segment is made up of loan categories possessing similar risk characteristics.
 
Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows:
 
Real Estate – The real estate portfolio consists of residential and commercial
properties.  Residential loans are generally secured by owner occupied 1–4
family residences.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers.  Credit risk in these loans
can be
impacted by economic conditions within the Company’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. 
Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a
large number of borrowers.  Commercial real estate loans in
this category typically involve larger principal amounts and are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation, the sale of
the real estate or
income independent of the loan purpose.  Credit risk in these loans is driven by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values, the
local economy and other economic conditions impacting a borrower’s business or personal income.
 
Commercial & Industrial – The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial
customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment
purchases and expansions.  The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation.  Credit risk in
these loans is driven
by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.
 
Agricultural – Loans secured by agricultural assets are generally made for the purpose
of acquiring land devoted to crop production, cattle or poultry or
the operation of a similar type of business on the secured property.   Sources of repayment for these loans generally include income generated from
operations of a business on
the property, rental income or sales of the property.  Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by crop and commodity prices,
the creditworthiness of a borrower, and changes in economic conditions which might affect underlying property
values and the local economies in the
Company’s market areas.
 
Consumer – The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit
loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. 
Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose.  Credit risk is driven by
consumer
economic factors, such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company’s market area and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Table of Contents
Bank7 Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Loan grades are numbered 1 through 4.  Grade 1 is considered satisfactory.  The grades of 2 and 3, or Watch and Special Mention, respectively,
represent
loans of lower quality and are considered criticized.  Grade of 4, or Substandard, refers to loans that are classified.
•
Grade 1 (Pass) – These loans generally conform to Bank policies, and are characterized by policy conforming advance rates on
collateral,
and have well-defined repayment sources. In addition, these credits are extended to Borrowers and/or Guarantors with a strong balance sheet
and either substantial liquidity or a reliable income history.
•
Grade 2 (Watch) – These loans are still considered “Pass” credits; however, various factors such as industry stress, material changes in cash
flow or financial
conditions, or deficiencies in loan documentation, or other risk issues determined by the Lending Officer, Commercial Loan
Committee (CLC), or Credit Quality Committee (CQC) warrant a heightened sense and frequency of monitoring.
•
Grade 3 (Special Mention) – These loans must have observable weaknesses or evidence of imprudent handling or structural issues. The
weaknesses require close
attention and the remediation of those weaknesses is necessary. No risk of probable loss exists. Credits in this
category are expected to quickly migrate to a “2” or a “4” as this is viewed as a transitory loan grade.
•
Grade 4 (Substandard) – These loans are not adequately protected by the sound worth and debt service capacity of the Borrower, but may be
well secured. They have
 defined weaknesses relative to cash flow, collateral, financial condition, or other factors that might jeopardize
repayment of all of the principal and interest on a timely basis. There is the possibility that a future loss will occur
if weaknesses are not
remediated.
The Company evaluates the definitions of loan grades and the allowance for loan losses methodology on an ongoing basis.  No changes were made
to
either during the period ended December 31, 2024.

Collateral Dependent Loans
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the
borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially
through the operation or sale of the collateral. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no material amount
of interest
income was recognized on collateral-dependent loans subsequent to their classification as collateral-dependent. At a minimum, the estimated value of the
collateral for loan equals the current book value.
The following table summarizes collateral-dependent
 gross loans held for investment by collateral type and the related specific allocation as follows

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial
Difficulty

As part of the Company’s ongoing risk management
practices, the Company attempts to work with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and when
necessary to extend or modify loan terms to better align with their current ability to repay. Modifications could include extension of the
maturity date,
reductions of the interest rate, reduction or forgiveness of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. Combinations of these modifications may also be made
for individual loans. Extensions and modifications to loans are
made in accordance with internal policies and guidelines which conform to regulatory
guidance. Principal reductions may be made in limited circumstances, typically for specific commercial loan workouts, and in the event of borrower
bankruptcy. Each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately.
The assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing
financial difficulty can be subjective in nature and management’s judgment may be required in
making this determination. The Company may determine that a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently in default
on any of
its debt, or if it is probable that a borrower may default in the foreseeable future absent a modification. Many aspects of a borrower’s financial situation are
assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial
difficulty.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024,
the Company modified a single commercial real estate loan to a borrower who was experiencing
financial difficulty, which
included a term extension and interest rate reduction in exchange for credit enhancements. The loan had a period-end amortized
cost basis of $2.7
million and represented 0.5% of the commercial real estate class of loans at December 31, 2024.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company modified a single commercial loan to a borrower who was
experiencing financial
difficulty, which included a term extension and payment of principal and interest deferral until the sale of collateral. The loan had a period-end amortized
cost basis of $10.1 million and represented 1.9% of the commercial and
industrial class of loans at December 31, 2023.

The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness
of its modification efforts. There were no loans to borrowers experiencing financial
difficulty that had a payment default during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2024 and were modified in the twelve months prior to default.

Bank7 Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In assessing the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred
tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize all benefits related to these deductible differences as
of December 31, 2024.
 
The Company does not have any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2024.
 
The Company is not presently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any state tax authority.
 
The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions that reflect management’s best estimate of deductions and credits that may not be
sustained
on a more-likely-than-not basis. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is considered greater than 50% likely of being
realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in
which the change in judgment occurs. There were no uncertain tax positions
as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and there were no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions reflected in the consolidated statements of
income for the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023, and 2022.

Note 11: Letters of Credit
 
The Bank has entered into an arrangement with the FHLB resulting in the FHLB issuing letters of credit on behalf of the Bank with the
 resulting
beneficiary being certain public funds in connection with these deposits.  Outstanding letters of credit to secure these public funds at December 31, 2024
and 2023 were $750,000 and $400,000, respectively.  Loans with a collateral value of
approximately $191.7 million and $159.6
million were used to secure
the letters of credit at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
 
Note 12: Advances and Borrowings
 
The Bank has a blanket floating lien security agreement with a maximum borrowing capacity of $190.9 million and $159.2 million at December 31, 2024
and
December 31, 2023, respectively, with the FHLB, under which the Bank is required to maintain collateral for any advances, including its stock in the
FHLB, as well as qualifying first mortgage and other loans.  The Bank had no advances from the FHLB at December 31, 2024 or 2023. The Bank had
additional liquidity with the Federal Reserve Bank of $336.1 million and $0 as of December
31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 13: Shareholders’ Equity
On October 28, 2021, the Company adopted a Repurchase Plan (the “RP”) that authorizes the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s stock.
Stock repurchases under the RP take place pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan with pricing and purchasing
parameters established by management. The RP
expired on October 28, 2023. There were no share repurchases under this plan. On
October 30, 2023, the Company adopted a new Repurchase Plan (the
“New RP”) that authorizes the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of
the Company’s stock. Stock repurchases under the New RP will take place pursuant to
a Rule 10b5-1 Plan with pricing and purchasing parameters established by management. There were no repurchases as of December 31, 2024.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company and Bank are subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued 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
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 assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under
GAAP, regulatory reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards.  The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors.   Furthermore, the Company’s and the Bank’s
regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set
forth in the following table) of total, Tier I, and Common Equity capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of
December 31, 2024, that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject and maintains capital conservation buffers that allow the Company and Bank to avoid limitations on capital
distributions, including
dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to certain executive officers.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) categorized the Bank as well
capitalized
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain capital ratios as set forth in the
table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
 
In April 2020, we began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA. Federal bank regulatory agencies have
issued an interim
final rule that permits banks to neutralize the regulatory capital effects of participating in the Paycheck Protection Program Lending
Facility (the “PPP Facility”) and clarify that PPP loans have a zero percent risk weight under applicable
risk-based capital rules. Specifically, a bank may
exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPP Facility from its average total consolidated assets for the purposes of calculating its leverage ratio,
while PPP loans that are not
pledged as collateral to the PPP Facility will be included.

The federal banking agencies require that banking organizations meet several risk-based capital adequacy requirements. The current risk-based
capital
standards applicable to the Company and the Bank are based on the Basel III Capital Rules established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(the “Basel Committee”). The Basel Committee is a committee of central banks and bank
supervisors/regulators from the major industrialized countries
that develops broad policy guidelines for use by each country’s supervisors in determining the supervisory policies they apply. The requirements are
intended to ensure that banking
organizations have adequate capital given the risk levels of assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments.
 
The Basel III Capital Rules require the Bank and the Company to comply with four minimum capital standards: a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at
least 4.0%; a
CET1 to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%; a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%; and a total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%.
The calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to
definitions, deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations.
82

Table of Contents
Bank7 Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The
Basel III Capital Rules also require a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital
conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and
effectively increases the minimum required risk-weighted capital
ratios.  Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets below the effective minimum (4.5% plus the capital conservation buffer) are
subject to limitations on
certain activities, including payment of dividends, share repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers based on the
amount of the shortfall.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum capital adequacy guideline percentage requirements
under
the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis.
 
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval.  At December 31,
2024,
approximately $83.7 million of retained earnings was available for dividend declaration from the Bank without prior regulatory
approval.
 
Note 14: Related-Party Transactions
At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had loans outstanding to executive officers, directors, significant shareholders and
their
affiliates (related parties) approximating $0 and $203,000, respectively. 

The Bank leases office and retail banking space in Oklahoma City and Woodward, Oklahoma from Central Park on Lincoln, LLC and Haines Realty
Investments Company, LLC, respectively, both related parties of the Company.  Lease expense totaled $286,000, $251,000 and $155,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  In addition, payroll and office sharing arrangements were in place between the Company and
certain of its affiliates.

401(k) Savings Plan
 
The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees.  Employees may contribute up to the maximum legal limit
with
the Bank matching up to 5% of the employee’s salary. Employer contributions charged to expense for the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023 and 2022
totaled $434,000, $399,000
and $366,000, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted a nonqualified incentive stock option plan (the “Bank7 Corp. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan”) in September 2018 and amended
the
Bank7 Corp. 2018 Equity Plan on May 20, 2020 adding an additional 507,500 shares to the plan. The Bank7 Corp. 2018 Equity
Incentive Plan will
terminate in September 2028, if not extended. Compensation expense, net of settlement of shares for payroll withholding related to the Plan for the years
ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 totaled $2,467,000, $2,164,000 and $1,384,000, respectively. There were 636,430
shares available for future
grants as of December 31, 2024.
 
The Company grants to employees and directors restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) which vest ratably over one, three, four, five, or eight years and stock
options which vest ratably over four years.  All RSUs and stock options are granted at the fair value of the common stock at the time of the award.  The
RSUs are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value are known at the date of grant and
the fair value at the grant date is amortized
over the vesting and/or service period.
 
The Company uses newly issued shares for granting RSUs and stock options.

Note 16: Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
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.   Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.   There is a
hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are
not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
 
Recurring Measurements
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:
Available-for-sale securities: Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For those debt securities
classified as Level 2, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing
service. The fair value measurements consider observable
data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data for similar
securities, market consensus
prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
 
Nonrecurring Measurements
 
The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair
 value
hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.  For assets classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop
the reported fair value is described below.
Collateral-Dependent Loans, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on fair value, less estimated cost to sell.  Collateral-dependent
impaired loans are
classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Company considers appraisal analysis as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the
environment
that may affect the fair value.  Values of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-
dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by executive management and
loan administration.  Values are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by
executive management and loan administration.  The ultimate collateral values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated
cost to sell if
repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets
at amounts other than fair value:
Cash and Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold, Interest-Bearing Time Deposits in Other Banks, Nonmarketable Equity Securities,
Interest Receivable
and Interest Payable
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Loans and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
 
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to
borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
Deposits
 
Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair
value. The
fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities.
Commitments to Extend Credit, Lines of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
 
The fair values of unfunded commitments are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account
the remaining
terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The fair values of standby letters of credit and lines of credit are based on
fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost
 to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the
reporting date. The estimated fair values of the Company’s commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit were not material at
December
31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Interest Receivable and Other Assets

 

Interest receivable and other assets
include prepaid expenses, right-of-use lease assets, interest receivable on loans, deferred tax assets, and oil and gas
related assets. For prepaid expense, right-of-use lease assets, deferred tax assets, and interest receivable on loans the
carrying amount approximates fair
value. For the determination of fair value of oil and gas assets, see discussion in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--Specific to
Production of Oil and
Natural Gas Reserves Operations.

Interest Payable and Other Liabilities
Interest payable
and other liabilities include unfunded commitment liabilities, lease liabilities, interest payable on deposits,dividends payable, other accrued
liabilities, and oil and gas related liabilities. For unfunded commitment liabilities, lease
liabilities, interest payable on deposits, dividends payable, and
other accrued liabilities carrying amount approximates fair value.For the determination of fair value of oil and gas liabilities, see discussion in Note 1,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--Specific to Production of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Operations.

Note 17: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers. 
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.  The following summarizes those financial instruments
with contract amounts representing credit risk as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in
thousands):

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.  Each
instrument generally has fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Since many of the instruments are expected to expire without being drawn
upon, total commitments to extend credit amounts do not necessarily
 represent future cash requirements.   The Company evaluates each customer’s
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the Company upon extension of credit is based on
management’s
credit evaluation of the customer.  Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, see Note (1) and Note (6).  Upon adoption, the Company estimated an allowance for credit
losses
on off-balance sheet credit exposures, which resulted in recording a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $500,000.  The
reserve for unfunded loan
commitments totaled $464,000 and $464,000 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 
Note 18: Significant Estimates and Concentrations
GAAP requires disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations.  Estimates related to the
allowance for
loan losses are reflected in Note 6 regarding loans.
 
As of December 31, 2024, hospitality loans were 18.5%
of gross total loans with outstanding balances of $259.1 million and unfunded commitments of
$2.9 million; energy loans were 9.5%
of gross total loans with outstanding balances of $133.3 million and unfunded commitments of $39.0 million.
 
The Company evaluates goodwill for potential goodwill impairment on an annual basis or more often based on consideration if any impairment
indicators
have occurred. A prolonged strain on the U.S. economy impacting the Company could result in goodwill being partially or fully impaired. At December 31,
2024, goodwill of $8.5 million was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 19: Operating Leases
Lessee
On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of the Company’s
operating leases on its
balance sheet.  See Note (1) for additional information. The Company has operating leases, which primarily consist of office space in buildings, ATM
locations, equipment and land on which it owns certain buildings.
Rental expense on all operating leases, including those rented on a monthly or temporary basis were as follows (Dollars in

Note 20: Asset Retirement Obligation
Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to our obligation for the plugging and abandonment of oil and natural gas properties. The ARO is recorded at
fair value and accretion expense, recognized over the life of the property, increases the liability to its expected settlement value. Accretion expense is
included within “Other” noninterest expense of the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income and consolidated statements of cash flows. If the fair
value of the estimated ARO changes, an adjustment is recorded for both the ARO and the asset retirement cost.
The
following table is a reconciliation of changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31,
2023 (dollars in thousands):

The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Fair
value,
to the extent possible, includes a market risk premium for unforeseeable circumstances.
Inherent in the fair value calculation of the ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors,
credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future
revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a
corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance.

Evaluation of Disclosure
 
a)
Controls and Procedures
 
Management of the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness as of December 31, 2024 of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment
in evaluating its controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.
 
b)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting, as such term
 is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management has assessed the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013
edition),” issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment and criteria, management has determined
that the Company has maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2024.
Forvis Mazars, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an
audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2024.  The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December
31, 2024, immediately follows:

Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
We have audited Bank7 Corp.’s (the “Company”) internal control as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework: (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company
maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal
Control –
Integrated Framework: (2013), issued by COSO.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated
financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and our
report dated March 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance
about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Definitions and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting
and the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Exhibit 19
BANK7 CORP. INSIDER TRADING POLICY
 
As adopted by the Board of Directors on August 17, 2023
 
The Need for a Policy
 
This Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”) provides guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of Bank7 Corp. (the “Company”) and
the handling of confidential
information about the Company and the companies with which the Company does business.  Insider trading violations are
pursued vigorously by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)
and similar state
authorities, and are punished severely.  While the SEC concentrates its efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip inside information to others who
trade, the federal securities laws also impose potential liability on
companies and other “controlling persons” if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent
insider trading by company personnel.
 
Accordingly, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has adopted this Policy both to satisfy its obligation to prevent insider trading and to
protect the Company and
the persons covered by this Policy from the severe consequences associated with violations of the insider trading laws.  This
Policy is also intended to prevent even the appearance of improper conduct on the part of insiders, such as directors
and officers, and employees, as well as
certain other persons who may be associated with the Company.  The ethical and business principles that are the foundation of this Policy may be broader
than the stringent requirements of federal securities
laws.  However, the confidence and trust placed in the people covered by this Policy by the Company
and its shareholders are of great value and should be preserved and protected.  The Company is proud of its reputation for integrity and ethical
conduct and
cannot afford to have that reputation damaged.
 
Generally, for purposes of this Policy, the term “insider” means all directors, executive officers, employees, and other similar persons.  This Policy
regarding insider
trading is not designed or intended to discourage the persons covered by this Policy from investing in the Company’s securities; indeed,
the Company encourages investment in its shares by its directors, officers and employees, and the directors,
officers, and employees of its subsidiaries.
 
Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company in this Policy include the subsidiaries of the Company.
 
Administration of the Policy
 
The Internal Legal Department of the Company will serve as the Compliance Officer for purposes of this Policy, and in his absence, the Chief
Operating Officer or another
 employee designated by the Internal Legal Department will be responsible for the administration of this Policy.   All
determinations and interpretations by the Internal Legal Department are final and not subject to further review.  Any questions
regarding this Policy should
be directed to the Internal Legal Department which may consult with outside counsel to the Company in connection with the administration of this Policy.

Persons Subject to the Policy
 
You are subject to this Policy if you are a director,1 officer or employee of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries.  The Company may also
determine that other persons are subject to this Policy, such as contractors or consultants who have access to material nonpublic information.  In addition, if
you are subject to this Policy, this
Policy applies to your family members who reside with you (including a spouse, a child, a child away at college,
stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws), anyone else who lives in your household, and
any family members
who do not live in your household but whose transactions in the Company’s securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control, such
as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in the
Company’s securities (collectively referred to in this Policy as “Family Members”).
This Policy also applies to executors of estates of the foregoing and any entities that you or your Family Members influence or control, including any
corporations, partnerships, or trusts (collectively referred to in this Policy as “Controlled Entities”).  You are responsible for the transactions of your Family
Members and Controlled Entities and should treat all such transactions for the
purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if the transactions
were for your own account.  This Policy does not, however, apply to personal securities transactions of Family Members where the purchase or sale
decision is made by a
third party not controlled by, influenced by, or related to you or your Family Members.  You should treat all nonpublic information as
confidential and proprietary to the Company.  It is inappropriate for a person in possession of nonpublic
information to intentionally provide other people
with such information or to recommend that they buy or sell company securities based upon that information.  This is called “tipping,” and both the tipper
and tippee may have monetary or criminal
liability under the law.
 
The prohibitions in this Policy extend to Internet or other electronic discussions.  With the availability of electronic bulletin boards, chat rooms,
and social media,
electronic discussions about companies and their business prospects have become common.  Inappropriate communications disseminated
on the Internet may pose an inherently greater risk due to the size of the audience they can reach.  These forums
have the potential to move a stock price
significantly and rapidly, yet the information disseminated through such means is often unreliable, and in some cases may be deliberately false.  The SEC
has investigated and prosecuted fraudulent schemes
 involving electronic bulletin board and chat rooms.   You may encounter information about the
Company on the Internet that you know or believe is harmful or inaccurate, or other information that you know or believe is true or beneficial for the
Company.  Although you may have the natural tendency to deny or confirm such information on an electronic bulletin board, chat room, or social media
page, any sort of response, even if it presents accurate information, could be considered
improper disclosure and could result in legal liability for you
and/or the Company.
 
Although all persons described above are generally subject to this Policy (the “Covered Persons”), not all sections of this Policy will apply to all
Covered Persons. 
Specifically, the sections titled “Pre-Clearance Procedures” and “Blackout Periods” apply only to directors and executive officers of the
Company and its subsidiaries, and any other persons specifically designated by the Internal Legal
 Department, together with their respective Family
Members and Controlled Entities.
 
Transactions Subject to the Policy
 
This Policy applies to transactions in the Company’s securities, including the Company’s common stock, options to purchase common stock, or
any other type of securities that
the Company may issue, including (but not limited to) preferred stock, convertible debentures and warrants, as well as
derivative securities that are not issued by the Company, such as exchange- traded put or call options or swaps relating to the
 Company’s securities
(collectively referred to in this Policy as “Company Securities”), except as expressly set forth below.
1 For purposes of this Policy, the term “director” includes any advisory director, board observer or any other person who regularly
attends board meetings
or has access to materials provided to directors

Transactions Not Subject to this Policy
 
The following transactions are not subject to this Policy to the extent expressly set forth below:
 
Stock Option Exercises.  This Policy does not apply to the exercise of stock options issued by the Company; if the exercise price is paid in cash or
by means of a “net exercise,” whereby an option holder has elected to have the Company withhold
shares subject to an option to cover the exercise price of
the options.  In addition, this Policy does not apply to the exercise of a tax withholding right under which an optionholder has elected to have the Company
withhold shares subject to
an option to satisfy tax withholding requirements.  This Policy does apply, however, to the sale of Company Securities acquired
upon the exercise of a stock option, as well as to any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless
exercise of an option or any other market sale for the
purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option or any tax withholding obligation.
 
Restricted Stock Awards.  This Policy does not apply to the
vesting of restricted stock, or the exercise of a tax withholding right under which you
elect to have the Company withhold shares of stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of any restricted stock.  This Policy does
apply,
however, to any sale of restricted stock in any public or private transaction.
 
401(k) Plan.  To the extent that the Company’s 401(k) plan may
from time to time permit the acquisition of Company Securities, this Policy does
not apply to purchases of Company Securities in the Company’s 401(k) plan resulting from your periodic contribution of money to the plan under any
payroll
deduction election.   This Policy does apply, however, to certain elections you may make under the Company’s 401(k) plan, including: (a) an
election to increase or decrease the percentage of your periodic contributions that will be
allocated to Company stock fund; (b) an election to make an intra-
plan transfer of an existing account balance into or out of Company stock fund; (c) an election to borrow money against your 401(k) plan account if the
loan will result in a
liquidation of some or all of your Company stock fund balance; and (d) an election to pre-pay a plan loan if the pre-payment will result
in allocation of loan proceeds to your Company stock fund.
 
Company Offerings or Repurchases.   The purchase of Company
 Securities from the Company, and the sale of Company Securities to the
Company, are not subject to this Policy.
 
Bona Fide Gifts.  Bona fide gifts of Company Securities are not
subject to this Policy, unless the person making the gift has reason to believe that
the recipient intends to sell such securities while the insider is aware of material nonpublic information, or the person making the gift is subject to the
trading restrictions specified below under the heading “Pre-Clearance Procedures” and has reason to believe that the recipient intends to sell Company
Securities during a blackout period.
 
Mutual Fund Transactions.  Transactions in mutual funds that are
invested in Company Securities are not subject to this Policy.
 
Individual Responsibility
 
Covered Persons have ethical and legal obligations to maintain the confidentiality of information about the Company and its subsidiaries and not
to engage in transactions in
Company Securities while in possession of material nonpublic information.  Each Covered Person is responsible for ensuring
that he or she complies with this Policy, and that any Family Member or Controlled Entity also complies with this Policy. 
In all cases, the responsibility for
determining whether an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information rests with that individual, and any action on the part of the Company,
the Internal Legal Department or any other insider
does not in any way constitute legal advice or insulate an individual from liability under applicable
securities laws.   You could be subject to severe legal penalties and disciplinary action by the Company for any conduct prohibited by this
Policy or
applicable securities laws, as described below in more detail under the heading “Consequences of Violations.”
 

Statement of Policy
 
It is the policy of the Company that no Covered Person who is aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company may, directly, or
indirectly through any other
person or entity:
 
1.
Engage in transactions in Company Securities, except as otherwise specified in this Policy under the headings “Transactions Not Subject
to this Policy” and “Rule 10b5-1 Plans;”
 
2.
Recommend or in any way influence the purchase or sale of any Company Securities;
 
3.
Disclose material nonpublic information to persons (a) within the Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information, or
(b) outside of the Company to other persons, including, but not limited to,
family, friends, business associates, investors, news media,
broker-dealers, analysts, investment bankers, investment advisors, institutional investment managers, and expert consulting firms, unless
any such disclosure is made in
accordance with the Company’s policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of
information regarding the Company; or
 
4.
Assist anyone engaged in the above activities.
 
In addition, it is the policy of the Company that no Covered Person who, in the course of their relationship with the Company, learns of material
nonpublic information about a
company with which the Company does business, including a customer, vendor, or supplier of the Company, may not trade
in that company’s securities until the information becomes public or is no longer material.
 
There are no exceptions to this Policy, except as specifically noted herein.  Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent
reasons (such as the need to
raise money for an emergency expenditure), or small transactions, are not excepted from this Policy.  The securities laws do not
recognize any mitigating circumstances, and, in any event, even the appearance of an improper transaction must be
avoided to preserve the Company’s
reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.
 
Definition of Material Nonpublic Information
 
Material Information.   Information is considered “material” if a
reasonable investor would consider that information important in making a
decision to buy, hold or sell securities.  Any information that could be expected to affect the Company’s stock price, whether it is positive or negative,
should be
considered material.  There is no bright-line standard for assessing materiality; rather, materiality is based on an assessment of all of the facts and
circumstances with the benefit of hindsight.  If you are uncertain whether information is
material, you should assume that it is until you obtain guidance
from the Internal Legal Department.  While it is not possible to define all categories of material information, some examples of information that ordinarily
would be regarded as
material are:
 

•
annual or quarterly financial results,
 
•
financial projections,
 
•
dividend announcements,
 
•
earnings estimates or changes in previously announced earnings estimates,
 
•
significant expansion or curtailment of operations,
 
•
a significant increase or decrease in business,
 
•
a significant merger or acquisition proposal or agreement,
 
•
unusual borrowings or securities offerings,
 
•
liquidity problems or bankruptcy proceedings,
 
•
significant changes in management,
 
•
purchases or sales of substantial assets,
 
•
plans for material changes to the Company’s capital plan,
 
•
stock splits,
 
•
new equity or debt offerings,
 
•
purchases or redemptions of Company Securities,
 
•
positive or negative developments in outstanding significant litigation,
 
•
significant litigation exposure due to actual or threatened litigation,
 
•
regulatory or governmental inquiry or investigation of the Company, its management or employees that could be material to the
Company,
 
•
regulatory violations,
 
•
any other factors that would cause the Company’s financial results to be substantially different from analyst estimates,
 
•
the same types of information about a customer or supplier of the Company,
 
•
major cybersecurity breaches, or
 
•
any substantial change in industry circumstances or competitive conditions which could significantly affect the Company’s or its
customer’s earnings or prospects for expansion.
 

When Information is Considered Public.   Information that has not
 been disclosed to the public is generally considered to be nonpublic
information.  In order to establish that the information has been disclosed to the public, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the information has been
widely disseminated
to the marketplace.  Information generally would be considered widely disseminated if it has been disclosed through the newswire
services, a broadcast on widely available radio or television programs, publication in a widely-available
newspaper, magazine, or news website, or included
in public disclosure documents filed with the SEC that are available on the SEC’s website.  By contrast, information would likely not be considered widely
disseminated if it is available only to
the Company’s employees, or if it is only available to a select group of analysts, brokers, and institutional investors.
 
Once information is widely disseminated, it is still necessary to allow the investing public sufficient time to absorb the information before the
information is considered
public.  As a general rule, information should not be considered fully absorbed by the marketplace until the third business day
after the day on which the information is released.  If, for example, the Company were to make an announcement on a
Monday, you should not trade in
Company Securities until Thursday.  Depending on the particular circumstances, the Company may determine that a longer or shorter period should apply
to the release of specific material nonpublic information.
 
Pre-Clearance Procedures
 
Directors and executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, and any other persons designated by the Internal Legal Department under
this Policy as being subject to
the pre-clearance procedures, together with their respective Family Members and Controlled Entities, may not engage in any
transaction in Company Securities without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transaction from the Internal Legal
Department.
 
A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Internal Legal Department at least two business days in advance of the proposed
transaction.  The Internal Legal
Department is under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre-clearance and may determine not to permit the
transaction.  If a person seeks pre-clearance to engage in the transaction and is denied, then he or she should refrain
from initiating any transaction in
Company Securities and should not inform any other person of the restriction.  Pre-cleared trades must be executed within five business days of receipt of
pre-clearance, unless the Internal Legal Department
grants an exception.
 
When a request for pre-clearance is made, the requestor should carefully consider whether he or she may be aware of any material nonpublic
information about the Company and
should describe fully those circumstances to the Internal Legal Department.   The requestor should also indicate
whether he or she has effected any transactions in Company Securities within the past six months.  Pre-clearance of a trade does not
constitute legal advice
and does not relieve the requestor of his or her legal obligation to refrain from trading while in possession of material nonpublic information.
 
The requirement for pre-clearance does not apply to those transactions to which this Policy does not apply, as described above under the heading
“Transactions Not Subject to
this Policy,” or to transactions conducted under approved Rule 10b5-1 plans, as described under the heading “Rule 10b5-1
Plans.”
 
Blackout Periods
 
Quarterly Blackout Periods.  The Company’s announcement of its
quarterly financial results almost always has the potential to have a material
effect on the market for Company Securities.  Therefore, to avoid even the appearance of trading while aware of material nonpublic information, directors
and
executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, and any other persons designated by the Internal Legal Department, as well as their respective
Family Members and Controlled Entities, generally will not be pre-cleared to conduct any
transactions involving Company Securities during a “blackout
period” beginning on the 15th day of the last month of each fiscal quarter and ending on the third business day after the date of the public release of the
Company’s financial results
for that quarter. In other words, these persons may only conduct transactions in Company Securities during the “window
period” beginning on the third business day after the public release of the Company’s quarterly financial results and ending
on the 14th day of the last
month of the next fiscal quarter.
 

In addition, the Company’s financial results may be sufficiently material in a particular fiscal quarter that, in the judgment of the Internal Legal
Department, designated
persons should refrain from trading in Company Securities even sooner than the typical quarterly blackout period described above,
in which case the Internal Legal Department may impose an event-specific blackout period.
 
Event-Specific Blackout Periods.  From time to time, an event may
occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few directors,
officers, or employees.  So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the persons designated by the Internal Legal Department may not trade in
Company
Securities.  The existence of an event-specific blackout period will not be announced, other than to those who are aware of the event giving rise
to the blackout.  Any person made aware of the existence of an event-specific blackout period
should not disclose the existence of the blackout to any other
person.   The failure of the Internal Legal Department to designate you as a person subject to an event-specific blackout will not relieve you of the
obligation not to trade while
aware of material nonpublic information.
 
Pension Fund Blackout Periods.  No director or officer of the
Company may trade in Company Securities during any “pension fund blackout
period” if that person acquired such securities in connection with his or her role as a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiaries.  A “pension fund
blackout
period” means any period of more than three consecutive business days during which the ability of not fewer than 50% of the participants or
beneficiaries under all individual account plans (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, but excluding a one-participant
retirement plan) maintained by the Company to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer an interest in any equity security of the Company held in
such an individual account plan is
temporarily suspended by the Company or a fiduciary of the plan, but does not include any period which the SEC
exempts from the definition of “blackout period” under Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
Share Repurchase Plan Announcement Blackout Periods. No director or
executive officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act may trade
in Company Securities in the four business days before or after the Company’s announcement of the stock repurchase plan or program, or the
announcement of an increase in the
number or amount of securities to be purchased under an existing plan or program.
 
Exceptions.   A person who is subject to a quarterly earnings
blackout period and who has an unexpected and urgent need to sell Company
Securities in order to generate cash may, in appropriate circumstances, be permitted to do so even during a blackout period.  Hardship exceptions may be
granted only by
the Internal Legal Department and must be requested at least two business days in advance of the proposed trade.  A hardship exception
may be granted only if the Internal Legal Department concludes that the person does not in fact possess
 material nonpublic information.   Under no
circumstance will a hardship exception be granted during an event-specific blackout period.
 
The quarterly trading restrictions and event-driven trading restrictions do not apply to those transactions to which this Policy does not apply, as
described above under the
heading “Transactions Not Subject to this Policy,” or to transactions conducted under approved Rule 10b5- 1 plans, as described
under the heading “Rule 10b5-1 Plans.”
 

Special and Prohibited Transactions
 
The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk or potential appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if persons subject
to this Policy engage in
certain types of transactions.  Therefore, it is the Company’s policy that no Covered Person, should engage in any of the following
transactions except to the extent permitted below:
 
Short-Term Trading.   Short-term trading of Company Securities may
 be distracting to the person and may unduly focus the person on the
Company’s short-term performance instead of the Company’s long-term business objectives.  For these reasons, a Covered Person who purchases Company
Securities in the open
market may not sell any Company Securities of the same class during the six months after the purchase (or vice versa), except with
the consent of the Internal Legal Department.
 
Short Sales.  Short sales of Company Securities (i.e., the sale of
a security that the seller does not own) may evidence an expectation on the part of
the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore have the potential to signal to the market that the seller lacks confidence in the Company’s
prospects.  In addition, short sales may reduce a seller’s incentive to seek to improve the Company’s performance.  For these reasons, short sales of
Company Securities by Covered Persons are prohibited.  In addition, Section 16(c) of the
Exchange Act prohibits officers and directors from engaging in
short sales.  (Short sales arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the paragraph below captioned “Hedging Transactions.”)
 
Publicly-Traded Options.   A transaction in publicly-traded options
 is, generally speaking, a bet on the short-term movement of Company
Securities and therefore may create the appearance that the insider is trading based on material nonpublic information.  Transactions in publicly-traded
options may also focus
an insider’s attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company’s long-term objectives.  Accordingly, transactions
by Covered Persons in put options, call options or other derivative securities with respect to Company Securities,
on an exchange or in any other organized
market, are prohibited by this Policy.  Option positions arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the next paragraph below.
 
Hedging Transactions.  Certain forms of hedging or monetization
transactions, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, and
exchange funds, allow an insider to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside
appreciation
in the stock.   These transactions allow the insider to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of
ownership.  When that occurs, the insider may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other
shareholders.  Therefore, the Company strongly
discourages Covered Persons from engaging in such transactions with respect to Company Securities.  Any Covered Person wishing to enter into such an
arrangement must first pre-clear the proposed
transaction with the Internal Legal Department.   Any request for pre-clearance of a hedging or similar
arrangement must be submitted to the Internal Legal Department at least two weeks prior to the proposed execution of documents evidencing the
proposed
transaction and must set forth a justification for the proposed transaction.
 
Margin Accounts and Pledged Securities.  Securities held in a
margin account as collateral for a margin loan may be sold by the broker without
the customer’s consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call.  Because a margin sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material
nonpublic
information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company Securities, Covered Persons are not permitted to hold Company Securities in a
margin account.  Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in
foreclosure if the borrower defaults on a loan while
the borrower is aware of material nonpublic information.  As such, Covered Persons are generally discouraged from pledging Company Securities as
collateral for a loan.   A Covered Person who
 wishes to pledge Company Securities as collateral for a loan (not including margin debt) and clearly
demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities may engage in such a transaction with the prior
approval of the
Internal Legal Department.  Any Covered Person who wishes to pledge Company Securities as collateral for a loan must submit a request for approval to
the Internal Legal Department at least two weeks prior to the proposed
execution of documents evidencing the proposed pledge.  Pledges of Company
Securities arising from certain types of hedging transactions may also be governed by the paragraph above captioned “Hedging Transactions.”
 

Standing and Limit Orders.  Standing and limit orders (except
standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 Plans, as described below)
create heightened risks for insider trading violations similar to the use of margin accounts.  There is no control over the timing of purchases or sales that
result
from standing instructions to a broker, and as a result the broker could execute a transaction when an insider is in possession of material nonpublic
information.  The Company therefore discourages placing standing or limit orders on Company
Securities.  If a Covered Person subject to this Policy
determines he or she must use a standing order or limit order, the terms of the standing or limited order must be disclosed to the Internal Legal Department
during the pre- clearance
process.
 
Rule 10b5-1 Plans
 
Rule 10b5-1 issued under the Exchange Act provides a defense from insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5 issued under the Exchange Act.  To
rely on this defense, a person
subject to this Policy must enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan for transactions in Company Securities that meet certain conditions
specified in that rule (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”).  If the plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, Company Securities
subject to that plan may be purchased
or sold without regard to certain insider trading restrictions.  To comply with this Policy, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must meet the following requirements of Rule
10b5-1, including those listed below:
 
•
the Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be in the form of a written contract with a reputable securities brokerage firm.
 
•
if you are an executive officer of the Company, the Rule 10b5-1 Plan must require the brokerage firm to timely report the execution of
trades in the Company’s securities to the Internal Legal Department to
facilitate your Section 16 reporting obligations.
 
•
If you are an executive officer, director, or senior management member of the Company, the Rule 10b5-1 Plan may not begin until after
the expiration of a cooling-off period ending on the later of (1) 90 days
after your adoption of the trading plan or (2) two business days
following the disclosure of the Company’s financial results on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, for the fiscal quarter in which the
Rule 10b5-1 Plan was adopted, up to
a maximum of 120 days.  For all other persons, the Rule 10b5-1 Plan may not begin until after the
expiration of a 30-day cooling-off period after the adoption of your Rule 10b5-1 Plan.
 
•
If you are an executive officer, director, or senior management member of the Company, the Rule 10b5-1 Plan must include a
representation certifiying, at the time of the adoption of a new or modified Rule
10b5-1 Plan, that (1) you are not aware of material
nonpublic information about the Company or its securities and (2) you are adopting the Rule 10b5-1 Plan in good faith and not as part of
a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of
Rule 10b5.
 

•
The Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be reviewed and approved in advance by the Internal Legal Department.
 
•
The Rule 10b5-1 Plan must meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 in one of the following ways:
 
o
Specify the amounts, prices, and dated of future trades;
 
o
Include a formula, algorithm, or computer program for determining the amounts, prices, and dates of the transactions covered by
the Rule 10b5-1 Plan; and
 
o
Effectively delegate to a third party, who does not have access to any material nonpublic information, all power to determine
how, when, or whether to effect transactions under the plan.
 
•
You may not enter into, modify, or cancel the Rule 10b5-1 Plan when you are in possession of any material nonpublic information or
when you are subject to a blackout period.
 
•
Cancellations or amendments to an effective Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be in writing and approved in advance by the Internal Legal
Department.
 
•
You may not have more than one Rule 10b5-1 Plan outstanding at the same time, except in limited circumstances pursuant to Rule 10b5-
1 and subject in all cases to preapproval by the Internal Legal Department.
 
•
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b5-1, you may not have more than one “single trade” Rule 10b5-1 Plan during any
12-month period.
 
Transactions effected under a pre-cleared Rule 10b5-1 Plan will not require further pre- clearance at the time of the transaction if the plan specifies
the dates, prices, and
amounts of the contemplated trades, or establishes a formula for determining the dates, prices, and amounts.
 
Post-Termination Transactions
 
This Policy continues to apply to transactions in Company Securities even after termination of an insider’s service to the Company.   If an
individual is in possession of
material nonpublic information when his or her service terminates, neither that individual, nor his or her Family Members or
Controlled Entities, may trade in Company Securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. 
The pre-clearance procedures
described in this Policy, however, will cease to apply to transactions in Company Securities at the time of the insider’s termination of service.
 

Consequences of Violations
 
The purchase or sale of securities while aware of material nonpublic information, or the disclosure of material nonpublic information to others
who then trade in Company
Securities, is prohibited by the federal and applicable state laws.  Insider trading violations are pursued vigorously by the SEC,
U.S. Attorneys, and applicable state enforcement authorities, among others.   Punishment for insider trading
 violations is severe, and could include
significant fines and imprisonment.  While the regulatory authorities concentrate their efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip inside information to
others who trade, the federal securities laws
also impose potential liability on companies and other “controlling persons” if they fail to take reasonable steps
to prevent insider trading by company personnel.  In addition, an individual’s failure to comply with this Policy may subject the
individual to Company
imposed sanctions, including dismissal for cause, whether or not the employee’s failure to comply results in a violation of law.  A violation of law, or even
an SEC investigation that does not result in prosecution, can
tarnish a person’s reputation and irreparably damage a career.  Accordingly, the Company
strongly urges all persons covered by this Policy to strictly comply with its terms.
 
Reporting of Completed Trades
 
Each director or executive officer (or other person, including, without limitation, key employees, as determined by the Internal Legal Department)
who is responsible for
complying with the reporting requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange Act must timely complete and deliver to the Internal
Legal Department the appropriate forms for filing with the SEC after execution of a reportable transaction.  If such
person has completed an acceptable
power of attorney, the Internal Legal Department will complete the Section 16 filing, as long as such person has supplied the necessary transaction detail to
the Internal Legal Department in a timely manner. 
All Section 16 filings must be available on the Company’s website no later than the end of the business
day after the filing with the SEC.  Any late or delinquent Section 16 filing must also be publicly reported, by individual, under separate
caption, in the
Company’s proxy statement for its next annual meeting.
 
Reporting of Violations
 
Any Covered Person who violates this Policy or any federal or state laws governing insider trading or tipping, or knows of any such violation by
any other Covered Person, must
report the violation immediately to the Internal Legal Department.  Upon learning of any such violation, the Internal Legal
Department, in consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, will determine whether the Company should release
 any material nonpublic
information, or whether the Company should report the violation to the SEC or other appropriate governmental authority.
 
Disclosure Requirements
 
The Company will be required to make certain quarterly disclosures, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1, regarding any adoption, modification, or
termination of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan by
an executive officer, director, or senior management member of the Company.  Upon the occurrence of such adoption,
modification, or termination, such persons are required to promptly furnish the Internal Legal Department information regarding the
date of adoption,
modification, or termination of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan, the Rule 10b5-1 Plan’s duration, the aggregate number of securities to be sold or purchased under the
Rule 10b5-1 Plan, and any other information reasonably required by the
Internal Legal Department.
 
Inquiries
 
Please direct all inquiries regarding any of the provisions or procedures of this Policy to the Internal Legal Department.  However, the ultimate
responsibility for adhering
to this Policy and avoiding unlawful transactions rests with you.
 

Delivery of Policy
 
This Policy will be delivered to all directors, executive officers, employees, and agents of the Company when they begin service to the Company. 
In addition, this Policy (or
a summary of this Policy) will be circulated periodically.  Each insider of the Company is required to acknowledge that he or she
understands and agrees to comply with this Policy.
