Blue Valley Ban Corp.Y R A S R E N I V A N 2021 ANNUAL REPORT Y R A S R E N I V A N VISION Magnify the collective strengths of our banks to satisfy customers, empower employees, and enhance value for our communities and shareholders. FORESIGHT SUBSIDIARIES Freeport, IL www.foresightfg.com Dear Stockholders, The year 2021 was an unusual year filled with unusual challenges to the banking industry and our company. The impact of the pandemic had a dramatic impact on our interest rate margin. Work from home or a remote site, now normal and part of our community-banking model was another dramatic change. We have adjusted our approach to customer service and excelled at providing superior customer service from any location. Our employees grew closer together as a unified team and addressed those changes. It is with pride I report to you record earnings for our company of approximately $11.4 million for 2021. The record earnings are a direct result of our team’s exceptional work effort. Basic earnings per common share were $3.11, an increase of 12.7% greater than $2.76 reported in 2020, producing a return on equity of 7.42% for 2021. The market performance of Foresight Stock in the past year increased 10.11% to $32.90 compared to the market price at year end 2020. A significant increase in credit quality during the year also contributed to the 2021 earnings and should aid in producing greater earnings in the future. The net interest rate margin declined 4.6% in 2021 to 3.14% compared to 3.29% in 2020. We see signs that our margin will improve with anticipated higher interest rates and the addition of more loans in the future. We aggressively participated in the PPP government program that impacted our margin and profits for both 2020 and 2021 adding a margin benefit of approximately $4.6 million pre-tax in 2021. Our non-interest expenses were up significantly in 2021 as we continued to invest in becoming a more profitable streamlined company. The “Future Forward” initiative will bring expense efficiencies and greater non-interest income to our bottom line once fully implemented. Presently, the goal is to have the needed changes in place so that the full effect of the changes will be included in the financial results for 2023. Mid-year 2021, we welcomed Peter Morrison as President at the State Bank, Freeport replacing Mary Hartman, a valuable President for Freeport, at her retirement. Troy Coffman was promoted to President of the State Bank of Herscher in October, as another valuable President, Randall Chaplinski retired on December 31, 2021 Our already strong capital position bolstered by record earnings in 2021, allows us to continue the current dividend pay out to shareholders of $11 cents per quarter. Our strong capital position has also funded our stock buyback program that ended at December 31, 2021 and supports the creation of a subsequent stock buyback program that is scheduled to end June 1, 2022. The Board continues to believe our stock is undervalued and a stock buyback program is in the best interests of shareholders. Your support in our efforts to continue building Communities through Community Banking increases value for shareholders. We appreciate the past support and look forward to building greater value for all shareholders. Respectfully, Rex K. Entsminger President/Chief Executive Officer 2 we are a market driven, people oriented community banking organization dedicated to enhancing shareholder value by providing our customers with diversified financial services that help them achieve economic success and financial security. we will pursue these goals while balancing shareholder and customer interests with the ongoing welfare of our employees and local communities. The member banks of our group maintain a high degree of independence and sensitivity to the concerns of the local communities and markets that we choose to serve. we will seek to expand sensibly into new markets when we believe that our business model and community banking philosophy can be successfully extended.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may internal control. involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

The following is a description of the more significant accounting policies: ((aa)) NNaattuurree ooff OOppeerraattiioonnss The Company provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through its facilities in the Rockford, Freeport, German Valley, Davis, Lena, Winnebago, Pecatonica, Seward, Kankakee, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Belvidere, and Herscher, Illinois areas. Its primary deposit products are demand deposits and certificates of deposit and its primary lending products are agriculture, agribusiness, commercial, real estate, and installment loans. ((bb)) BBaassiiss ooff CCoonnssoolliiddaattiioonn The financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries: German-American State Bank (German), State Bank of Davis (Davis), State Bank (Freeport), Northwest Bank of Rockford (Northwest), Lena State Bank (Lena), and State Bank of Herscher (Herscher) (collectively the “Banks”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ((cc)) SSuubbsseeqquueenntt EEvveennttss The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through March 8, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. ((dd)) RRiisskkss aanndd UUnncceerrttaaiinnttiieess The United States and world economies continue to suffer adverse effects from the COVID-19 virus pandemic (“CV 19 pandemic”). The Company has responded throughout the CV19 pandemic as guided by governmental authorities and regulatory agencies with necessary operational and procedural modifications. The Company has not experienced an adverse impact to the financial statements. Future potential impacts to the Company may include disruptions or restrictions on employees and contracted agents ability to work, reduced demand for new loans, and increased repurchase risk or loan defaults. The future impact of the CV19 pandemic on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. ((ee)) UUssee ooff EEssttiimmaatteess The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. The allowance for loan losses, deferred tax assets, fair values of securities, foreclosed assets and financial instruments are particularly susceptible to change in the near-term. ((ff)) CCaasshh aanndd CCaasshh EEqquuiivvaalleennttss For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold, all of which generally mature within ninety days. 14 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((gg)) IInntteerreesstt--bbeeaarriinngg DDeeppoossiittss iinn BBaannkkss Interest-bearing deposits in banks are comprised of liquid non-maturing deposits but also include some balances in time deposits with the maturity being the determining factor for inclusion in cash and cash equivalents with the non-maturing interest-bearing deposits. Interest-bearing deposits in banks are carried at cost. ((hh)) DDeebbtt SSeeccuurriittiieess Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity (HTM) and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as HTM are classified as available for sale (AFS) and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income or loss. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method. Premiums that exceed the amount repayable by the issuer at the next call date are amortized to the next call date. Other premiums and discounts are amortized (accreted) over the estimated lives of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific-identification method. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Gains and losses on the sale of marketable equity securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific-identification method. Other investments include equity securities without a readily determinable fair value which consists primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock. The Company has elected to account for equity securities without readily determinable fair values using the alternative measurement method. Under this method, these securities are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment. The Company is required to hold FHLB stock as a member of the FHLB and transfer of the stock is substantially restricted. The FHLB stock is pledged as collateral for outstanding FHLB advances. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. ((jj)) LLooaannss HHeelldd ffoorr SSaallee Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or market in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights retained by the Company. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the cost allocated to the associated mortgage servicing rights. Realized gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold. 15 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((kk)) LLooaannss aanndd AAlllloowwaannccee ffoorr LLooaann LLoosssseess Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff; generally, are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for purchase premiums or discounts, charge-offs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued daily based on the unpaid principal balance. A loan is considered to be delinquent when payments have not been made according to contractual terms, typically evidenced by nonpayment of a monthly installment by the due date. The accrual of interest on a loan is generally discontinued when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Generally, interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off is 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. Loan-origination fees with the exception of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) fees received in 2020 and 2021 and direct origination costs are generally recognized as income or expense when received or incurred since capitalization of these fees and costs would not have a significant impact on the financial statements. Fees received as part of PPP were capitalized and amortized to income over the contractual life of the PPP loans. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and classified as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. All problem loans meeting Company criteria are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected from the collateral. 16 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((kk)) LLooaannss aanndd AAlllloowwaannccee ffoorr LLooaann LLoosssseess ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd)) TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment and included in the separately identified impairment disclosures. TDRs are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of the allowance on that loan in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses on loans individually identified as impaired. The general component covers loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not included in the impairment disclosures. The general allowance component also includes loans that are not individually identified for impairment evaluation, such as commercial loans below the individual evaluation threshold, as well as those loans that are individually evaluated but are not considered impaired. The general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment or loan class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment or loan class. These economic factors include: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and employees; national and economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. Management considers the following when assessing the risk in the loan portfolio: • Residential real estate loans are affected by the local residential real estate market, the local economy, and, for variable rate mortgages, movement in indices tied to these loans. At the time of origination, the Company evaluates the borrower's repayment ability through a review of debt- to-income and credit scores. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the loan amount. Financial information is obtained from the borrowers and/or the individual project to evaluate cash flows sufficiency to service debt at the time of origination. • Agricultural and commercial real estate loans are dependent on the industries tied to these loans. Agricultural real estate loans are primarily for land acquisition. Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants. Financial information is obtained from the borrowers and/or the individual project to evaluate cash flows sufficiency to service debt; and is periodically updated during the life of the loan. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market, such as geographic location and/or property type. • Commercial and agricultural loans are primarily for working capital, physical asset expansion, asset acquisition loans and other. These loans are made based primarily on historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral securing loans may fluctuate in value due to economic or individual performance factors. Financial information is obtained from the borrowers to evaluate cash flows sufficiency to service debt and is periodically updated during the life of the loan. 17 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((kk)) LLooaannss aanndd AAlllloowwaannccee ffoorr LLooaann LLoosssseess ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd)) • Consumer and other loans may take the form of installment loans, demand loans, or single payment loans and are extended to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures.

((ll)) LLooaann CCoommmmiittmmeennttss The Company enters into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit issued to meet customer-financing needs.

((mm)) LLooaann SSeerrvviicciinngg aanndd CChhaannggee iinn AAccccoouunnttiinngg PPrriinncciippllee The Company services mortgage loans it sells to third-party institutions. Servicing loans includes collecting monthly principal and interest payments from borrowers, passing such payments through to the third- party investors, and maintaining escrow accounts for taxes and insurance. When necessary, the Company also performs collection functions for delinquent loan payments, handles loan foreclosure proceedings, and disposes of foreclosed property. The Company generally earns a servicing fee of 25 basis points on the outstanding loan balance for performing these services as well as fees and interest income from ancillary sources, such as late fees and float. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through a sale of loans and are reported in other assets. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company elected fair value accounting for all of its mortgage servicing rights previously accounted for using the amortization method. This irrevocable election applies to all subsequently acquired or originated servicing assets and liabilities that have characteristics consistent with this class. A cumulative-effect adjustment of $254 (net of tax) was recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2021, to reflect the excess of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights over their carrying amount. Prior to January 1, 2021, when the originating mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market, the Company allocated the total cost of the mortgage loans between mortgage servicing rights and the loans, based on their relative fair values. The cost of originated mortgage-servicing rights was amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage-servicing rights was assessed based on the fair value of those rights. The amount of impairment was the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceeded their fair value. Fair value was determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Effective January 2021, mortgage servicing rights recognized when mortgage loans are sold are included as a component of loan servicing fees and are measured at fair value at acquisition and at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated using market prices for comparable contracts, when available, or a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as costs to service, a discount rate, custodial earnings rate, ancillary income, default rates and losses, and prepayment speeds. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights may change due to changes in discount rates, prepayment expectations, default rates, and other factors. Changes in fair value are recognized each period and reported in the Statements of Income as a component of loan servicing fees. 18 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((mm)) LLooaann SSeerrvviicciinngg aanndd CChhaannggee iinn AAccccoouunnttiinngg PPrriinncciippllee ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd)) Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans.

((nn)) RRaattee LLoocckk CCoommmmiittmmeennttss Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest-rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and mandatory delivery forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are to be accounted for as derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.

Changes in fair values on these derivatives are to be included in net gains on sales of loans.

The guidance includes a five-step model to apply to revenue recognition, consisting of the following: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations within the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Since performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying revenue recognition that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers. The following significant revenue-generating transactions are within the scope of revenue recognition, which are presented in the statements of income as components of noninterest income: Customer service fees – The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, such as statement rendering and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly service charges and maintenance fees, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs as this corresponds with the Company’s performance obligation. Interchange fees – Customers use a bank-issued debit card to purchase goods and services, and the Company earns interchange fees on those transactions, typically a percentage of the sale amount of the transaction. The Company is considered an agent with respect to these transactions. Interchange fee payments received included in other noninterest income, net of related expense, are recognized as income daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder through the payment networks. There are no contingent debit card interchange fees recorded by the Company that could be subject to a claw-back in future periods. Trust fees – The Company earns trust fees, included in other noninterest income, from its contracts with trust customers for providing investment management and/or transaction-based services on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are assessed based on the total investable assets of the customer’s trust account. A signed contract between the Company and the customer is maintained for all customer trust accounts with payment terms identified. There are no contingent incentive fees recorded by the Company that could be subject to a claw-back in future periods. Insurance commissions – Insurance agency commissions, included in other noninterest income, are received from insurance carriers for the agency’s share of commissions from customer premium payments. These commissions are recorded into income when checks are received from the insurance carriers, and there is no contingent portion associated with these commission checks that may be clawed back by the carrier in the future. There may be a short time-lag in recording revenue when cash is received instead of recording the revenue when the policy is signed by the customer, but the time lag is insignificant and does not impact the revenue recognition process. The Company has evaluated the potential amount of premium refunds due to customers when policies are cancelled and has determined such amounts are insignificant. 20 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((ss)) RReevveennuuee ffrroomm CCoonnttrraaccttss wwiitthh CCuussttoommeerrss ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd)) Wealth management fees – Wealth management income, included in other noninterest income, is primarily comprised of fees from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the services and are recognized quarterly, based upon the quarter-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment of these fees is generally received in the month following quarter-ends through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. Other related services provided include financial planning and the fees the Company earns, which are based on a fixed fee schedule, are recognized when the services are rendered. Net gain (loss) on sales of foreclosed assets and other real estate owned – The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of foreclosed assets and other real estate owned when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed and transfer of control is completed. When the Company finances the sale to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether the Company expects to collect substantially all of the transaction price. Once these criteria are met, the asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if the financing does not include market terms. ((tt)) IInnccoommee TTaaxxeess Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The Company files consolidated Federal and State income tax returns. The Company may also recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits represent the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured in the financial statements. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income taxes, if applicable. No liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions have been recorded. ((uu)) CCoommpprreehheennssiivvee IInnccoommee Accounting principles generally require the Company to include in net income recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, net of taxes. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. ((vv)) EEaarrnniinnggss PPeerr SShhaarree Basic earnings per share (EPS) represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. 21 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ((ww)) LLoossss CCoonnttiinnggeenncciieess Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

((xx)) TTrraannssffeerrss ooff FFiinnaanncciiaall AAsssseettss Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard will significantly change how financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented. Such assets, which include most loans and securities held to maturity, will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected over their remaining contractual lives. Estimated credit losses will be based on relevant information about historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The standard will also change the accounting for credit losses related to securities available-for-sale and purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. This new accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating what impact this new standard will have on its financial statements. (2) Cash Equivalents and Interest-Bearing Deposits Effective March 12, 2021, the Federal Reserve's board of directors approved the final rule reducing the required reserve requirement ratios to zero percent, effectively eliminating the requirement to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. This reduction in the required reserves does not have a defined timeframe and may be revised by the Federal Reserve's board in the future. In the normal course of business, the Company maintains cash and due from bank balances in accounts with correspondent banks. Balances in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) insured limit of $250. Management believes these financial institutions have strong credit ratings and that credit risk related to these deposits is not material. Interest-bearing deposits consist of certificates of deposit at other financial institutions. Certificates of deposit are in denominations of $250 or less and are fully insured by the FDIC.

'Special Mention' ratings are assigned to loans where management has some concern that the collateral or debt service ability may not be adequate, though the collectability of the contractual loan payments is still probable. 'Substandard' ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability; such that collectability of the contractual loan payments is no longer probable. 'Doubtful' ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability, and collectability of the contractual loan payments is unlikely. 32 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (4) Loans (continued) Information regarding the credit quality indicators most closely monitored by class of loan at December 31 follows: Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Totals 2021 Real estate: Commercial real estate Residential real estate Agricultural real estate Commercial: Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Consumer and other $239,071 100,486 130,170 199,960 77,751 55,093 $20,439 928 9,519 504 1,503 40 $13,567 1,521 476 8,503 222 79 Total $802,531 $32,932 $24,368 $0 0 0 0 0 0 $0 $273,077 102,935 140,165 208,967 79,476 55,212 $859,832 Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Totals 2020 Real estate: Commercial real estate Residential real estate Agricultural real estate Commercial: Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Consumer and other $233,507 81,799 118,001 213,511 58,272 43,491 $25,089 2,061 11,292 9,665 11,612 48 $13,515 2,706 3,722 1,847 2,107 48 Total $748,581 $59,767 $23,945 Loan aging information by class of loan at December 31 follows: $0 0 0 0 0 0 $0 $272,111 86,566 133,015 225,023 71,991 43,587 $832,293 As of December 31, 2021 Real estate: Commercial real estate Residential real estate Agricultural real estate Commercial Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Consumer and other Loans Past Due 30-89 Days Loans Past Due 90+ Days Total Past Due $700 980 73 181 12 263 $2,117 201 205 443 0 39 $2,817 1,181 278 624 12 302 Total $2,209 $3,005 $5,214 33 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (4) Loans (continued) As of December 31, 2021 Total Past Due Total Current Total Loans 90+ Days Due and Accruing Interest Total Non-accrual Loans Real Estate: Commercial real estate Residential real estate Agricultural real estate Commercial: Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Consumer and other $2,817 1,181 278 624 12 302 $270,260 101,754 139,887 208,343 79,464 54,910 $273,077 102,935 140,165 208,967 79,476 55,212 $1,117 11 205 0 0 0 $5,886 870 0 489 222 79 Total $5,214 $854,618 $859,832 $1,333 $7,546 As of December 31, 2020 Real estate: Commercial real estate Residential real estate Agricultural real estate Commercial Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Consumer and other Loans Past Due 30-89 Days Loans Past Due 90+ Days Total Past Due $1,922 1,242 338 259 54 53 $4,109 665 1,092 799 239 33 $6,031 1,907 1,430 1,058 293 86 Total $3,868 $6,937 $10,805 As of December 31, 2020 Total Past Due Total Current Total Loans 90+ Days Due and Accruing Interest Total Non-accrual Loans Real Estate: Commercial real estate Residential real estate Agricultural real estate Commercial: Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Consumer and other $6,031 1,907 1,430 1,058 293 86 $266,080 84,659 131,585 223,965 71,698 43,855 $272,111 86,566 133,015 225,023 71,991 43,587 $170 68 105 0 0 27 $5,798 1,394 1,124 848 293 47 Total $10,805 $821,842 $832,293 $370 $9,504 When, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider the modified loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Loan modifications may consist of forgiveness of interest and/or principal, a reduction of the interest rate, interest only payments for a period of time, and/or extending amortization terms. All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. There were no modifications of loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the year ended of December 31, 2021. 34 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (4) Loans (continued) The following table presents information regarding modifications of loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings by class of loan that occurred during the years ended December 31, 2020: Real Estate: Residential real estate Commercial: Commercial & industrial Agricultural production Total Number of Loans Pre-Modification Investment Post-Modification Investment 1 1 1 3 $3,828 191 23 $4,042 $3,828 191 23 $4,042 There were no troubled debt restructurings that defaulted during the year, within 12 months of their modification as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $13,771 of outstanding modifications that were excluded from the TDR classification based on this act. (5) Loan Servicing Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage loans serviced for others as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, were approximately $303,768 and $311,909, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in conjunction with serviced loans were approximately $3,859 and $3,799 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Effective in January 1, 2021, due to the election of a change in accounting principle by the Company, the following is a summary of changes in the balance of mortgage servicing rights, included in other assets, for the year ended December 31, 2021: Balance at December 31, 2020 Effect of change in accounting principle Balance at January 1, 2021 Change in fair value Additions Balance at end of year $1,150 355 1,505 466 57 $2,028 35 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (5) Loan Servicing (continued) Prior to the election in 2021, the following summarizes the activity pertaining to mortgage servicing rights, included in other assets, for the years ended December 31: Balance at beginning of year Mortgage servicing rights capitalized Mortgage servicing rights amortized Balance at end of year 2020 $993 813 (656) $1,150 2019 $1,167 342 (516) $993 No impairment of mortgage servicing rights existed and no valuation allowance was recognized for 2020 and 2019. The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined using a valuation model that calculates the present value of expected future servicing and ancillary income, net of expected servicing costs. The model incorporates various assumptions, such as discount rates and prepayment speeds based on market data from independent organizations. Information about the estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights at December 31: Range of discount rates Range of prepayment speeds Weighted average default rate (6) Mortgage Banking Loan Commitments 2021 2020 2019 9.00% - 11.00% 6.79% - 33.96% 9.01% 9.00% - 11.00% 6.59% - 34.37% 9.01% 9.50% - 11.50% 6.98% - 27.90% 9.51% The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans (interest rate locks) at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will be subsequently sold to third-party investors. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock. It is the Company’s practice to enter into best efforts and mandatory delivery forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans to third-party investors when an interest rate lock commitment is granted. Best efforts forward commitments bind the Company to deliver a mortgage loan to a third-party investor only if the underlying loan is funded. Mandatory delivery forward commitments bind the Company to deliver a residential mortgage loan to a third-party investor even if the underlying loan never funds. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had approximately $6,559 and $9,830 in interest rate lock commitments outstanding. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had approximately $110,261 and $0 in mandatory delivery forward commitments outstanding and approximately $2,857 and $19,660 in best effort forward commitments outstanding. These outstanding mortgage loan commitments are considered to be derivatives. The approximate fair values associated with these derivatives were considered to be immaterial as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. 36 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (7) Foreclosed Assets and Other Real Estate Owned Foreclosed assets and other real estate owned net of valuation allowance consist of the following at December 31: Residential real estate Commercial real estate Non-farm non-residential properties Construction, land development and other land Balance at end of year 2021 2020 $0 39 0 0 $39 $0 107 0 205 $312 Residential real estate loans that are in process of foreclosure totaled $99 at December 31, 2021 and $482 at December 31, 2020.

(9) Intangible Assets The core deposit premium intangible asset in other assets had a gross carrying amount of $1,952 and accumulated amortization of $1,952 and $1,666 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $286. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $312. 37 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (10) Other Assets The components of other assets at December 31 are as follows: Accrued interest receivable Mortgage servicing rights Net deferred tax assets Qualified affordable housing project investments Other 2021 2020 $5,535 2,028 2,980 439 3,947 $6,107 1,150 990 794 4,152 $14,929 $13,193 (11) Time Deposits The aggregate amount of time deposits with a minimum denomination of $250 was approximately $68,880 and $69,067 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Time deposits are included in the interest-bearing deposits on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the scheduled maturities of time deposits are as follows: 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 and thereafter $195,417 85,974 40,569 13,392 17,793 $353,145 (12) Employee and Director Benefit Plans The Company and the Banks maintain a 401(k) plan with profit sharing features covering substantially all employees under which the Company has historically provided a discretionary match of eligible employee contributions. Total 401(k) expense was approximately $561, $549, and $457, for 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Each plan participant elects how the employer contributions are invested; whereby the participants choose between purchasing the Company’s common stock or investing in the plan’s investment funds. In addition, the Company and the Banks maintain non-qualified deferred compensation plans whereby certain directors and officers are provided with guaranteed annual payments for periods ranging after reaching a variation of retirement ages pending participant plan. The compensation plans are funded by bank-owned life insurance policies which had an aggregate death benefit of approximately $53,114 and $53,983 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Banks accrue amounts to be paid over the participant’s active service life. The accrued benefits were $2,888, $2,547, and $2,143 at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Non-qualified deferred compensation expenses were $413, $476, and $190 in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 38 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (13) Income Taxes The components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31 are as follows: Current – federal Current – state Deferred – federal Deferred – state 2021 $2,148 1,175 3,323 (61) (25) (86) 2020 2019 $2,074 1,178 3,252 (330) (156) (486) $1,757 984 2,741 357 86 443 Total income tax expense $3,237 $2,766 $3,184 A reconciliation of the differences between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective federal income tax rate with the resulting dollar amounts is shown in the following table: 2021 2020 2019 % of Pretax Earnings % of Pretax Earnings % of Pretax Earnings Amount Amount Amount $3,071 21.0% $2,741 21.0% $2,986 21.0% (619) (126) 909 2 (4.2%) (0.9%) 6.2% 0.0% (593) (124) 807 (65) (4.5%) (1.0%) 6.2% 0.5% (632) (103) (4.4%) (0.7%) 846 87 6.0% 0.6% Statutory federal tax Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: Tax-exempt interest Bank-owned life insurance State taxes, net of federal benefit Other Effective tax rates $3,237 22.1% $2,766 21.2% $3,184 22.4% 39 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (13) Income Taxes (continued) The tax effects of existing temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are summarized as follows: Deferred tax assets: Allowance for loan losses Allowance for losses on foreclosed assets and other real estate owned Deferred compensation and other Total deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: FHLB stock dividend Depreciation Mortgage servicing rights and other Available-for-sale securities Purchase accounting adjustments Total deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax assets 2021 2020 $3,986 74 2,022 6,082 55 1,549 746 615 137 3,102 $2,980 $3,900 191 1,907 5,998 55 1,776 453 2,519 205 5,008 $990 No valuation allowance has been recorded since deferred tax assets are expected to be realized. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal or state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017. (14) Transactions with Related Parties The Company had, and may be expected to have in the future, loans or other banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, significant stockholders, principal officers, their immediate families, and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties). In management’s opinion, these loans and transactions were on the same terms as those for comparable loans and transactions with non-related parties. Activity for related party loans for the years ending December 31, is as follows: Balance at beginning of year New credits No longer related party loans Repayments Balance at end of year 2021 $8,671 2,231 0 (4,774) $6,128 2020 $14,319 4,711 (1,631) (8,728) $8,671 Deposit accounts from related parties totaled approximately $19,075 and $15,717 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 40 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (15) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk: The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the financial instruments, for commitments to extend credit, and letters of credit are represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing letters of credit as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Banks’ exposures to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31 is as follows: Unused lines of credit and other loan commitments Commercial letters of credits Performance and standby letters of credit 2021 $211,776 887 4,554 2020 $220,332 1,017 102 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Banks evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies; but may include accounts receivable, inventory, crops, livestock, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties. Standby, performance and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. They are considered financial guarantees under FASB guidance. The fair value of these financial guarantees is considered immaterial. The Company participates in the FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (the "Program"). In addition to entering into forward commitments to sell mortgage loans to a secondary market agency, the Company enters into firm commitments to deliver loans to the FHLB through the Program. Under the Program, loans are funded by the FHLB, and the Company receives an agency fee reported as a component of gain on sale of loans. The Company had no firm commitments outstanding to deliver loans through the Program at December 31, 2021. Once delivered to the Program, the Company provides a contractually agreed-upon credit enhancement and performs servicing of the loans. Under the credit enhancement, the Company is liable for losses on loans delivered to the Program after application of any mortgage insurance and a contractually agreed-upon credit enhancement provided by the Program subject to an agreed-upon maximum. The agreed- upon accumulated credit enhancement provided by the Program totaled $2,547, subject to an agreed-upon maximum. The fee the Company received for this credit enhancement was not material in each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. 41 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (15) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations (continued) Concentration of credit risk: The Company provides several types of loans to customers including real estate, agricultural, commercial, and installment loans. The largest component of loans is secured by residential real estate, commercial real estate, or other interest in real property. Lending activities are conducted with customers in a wide variety of industries as well as with individuals with a wide variety of credit requirements. The Company does not have a concentration of loans in any specific industry. Credit risk, as it relates to the Company’s business activities, tends to be geographically concentrated in that the majority of the customer base lies within the surrounding communities served by its subsidiary banks. (16) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase Securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $35,109 and $31,149 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are collateralized by U.S. agencies, state and municipal and mortgage-backed investment securities with fair values of approximately $61,560 and $43,047. The weighted-average interest rates on these agreements were 0.10% and 0.12% at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase mature on a daily basis. (17) Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Advances and Other Borrowings FHLB Advances at December 31: 2021 2020 Fixed-rate advances with rates ranging from 0% to 3.03% and weighted average rates of 1.06% and 0.62% as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest is payable monthly with principal due at maturity. $16,000 $32,750 Advances are collateralized by 1-4 family mortgage loans, other qualifying loans and securities. The total amounts of collateral securing FHLB advances were approximately $93,767 and $85,350 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. FHLB advances are subject to a prepayment penalty if they are repaid prior to maturity. FHLB advances are also secured by $1,360 and $1,285 of FHLB stock owned by the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company participates in the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Discount Window Lending Program. Primary advances generally mature daily and bear interest at a generally approved rate in relation to the federal funds rate. The primary advance interest rate at December 31, 2021 was 25-basis points. Outstanding advances were $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Advances are collateralized by investment securities pledged totaling approximately $9,578 and $9,253 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to the Federal Reserve Bank. Additional other borrowings totaled $1,076 and $2,038 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and mature from 2022 to 2024, at interest rates ranging from 1.60% to 2.38%. 42 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (17) Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Advances and Other Borrowings (continued) At December 31, the scheduled maturities of FHLB advances and other borrowings are as follows: 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 and thereafter 2021 2020 $0 5,163 500 5,818 0 5,595 20,250 210 2,373 6,335 0 5,620 $17,076 $34,788 The Company had federal funds purchased with its main correspondent institutions totaling $533 and $2,124 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Federal funds purchased generally mature within one day from transaction date. The weighted average interest rate was 0.25% and 0.10% as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. (18) Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other 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. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value: Securities available-for-sale: The fair values of the Company’s securities available-for-sale are primarily determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The values determined by matrix pricing are considered Level 2 fair value measurements. 43 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (18) Fair Value Measurements (continued) Marketable equity securities – Marketable equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value measurement of equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are based on the quoted price of the security and is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when transaction prices for identical or similar securities are identified. Fair value measurements on equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are generally considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. Collateral-dependent impaired loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect (1) partial write- downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market- quoted value of the underlying collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value of the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s expertise and knowledge of the borrower and borrower’s business. Fair value measurements prepared internally are based on management's comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data and are therefore considered Level 3 measurements. Foreclosed assets and other real estate owned: Real estate acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure is not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, other real estate is initially measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) when it is acquired and may also be measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) if it becomes subsequently impaired. The fair value measurement for each property may be obtained from an independent appraiser or prepared internally. Fair value measurements obtained from independent appraisers generally utilize a market approach based on sales of comparable assets and/or an income approach. Such measurements are usually considered Level 2 measurements. However, management routinely evaluates fair value measurements of independent appraisers by comparing actual selling prices to the most recent appraisals. If management determines significant adjustments should be made to the independent appraisals based on these evaluations, these measurements are considered Level 3 measurements. Fair value measurements prepared internally are based on management's comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data and are therefore considered Level 3 measurements. Mortgage servicing rights - Mortgage servicing rights are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Serviced loan pools are stratified by year of origination, and a fair value measurement is obtained for each stratum from an independent firm. The measurement is based on recent sales of mortgage servicing rights with similar characteristics. Since the fair value measurement is based on observable market data, it is considered a Level 2 measurement. 44 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (18) Fair Value Measurements (continued) The following table presents the Company’s approximate fair-value hierarchy for the assets measured at fair value as of December 31: As of December 31, 2021 Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Assets: Securities available-for-sale U.S. Government sponsored entities and U.S. agencies State and municipal Agency mortgage-backed Marketable equity securities Mortgage servicing rights Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis: Assets: Collateral-dependent impaired loans Foreclosed assets and other real estate owned Total $85,106 $151,486 $203,286 $900 $2,028 $3,275 $39 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (Level 2) (Level 1) (Level 3) $85,106 $151,486 $203,286 $900 $2,028 $3,275 $39 Collateral-dependent impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral, had a carrying value of $4,579 with specific reserves of $1,304 as of December 31, 2021.

The following table presents quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and 2020: Collateral-dependent impaired loans, net of specific reserves Foreclosed assets and other real estate owned Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Sales comparison approach Sales comparison approach Appraised values 10% - 20% Appraised values 10% - 20% FASB guidance requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Accounting guidance excludes certain financial instruments and certain nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. These fair value disclosures may not represent the fair value of the Company. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2021 are as follows: Carrying Amount Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy Level 2 Level 1 Level 3 Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Interest-bearing deposits in other banks- term deposits Securities Marketable equity securities Loans held for sale Loans, net of allowance Accrued interest receivable Cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance Mortgage servicing rights Financial liabilities: Demand and saving deposits Time deposits Federal funds purchased Securities sold under agreements to repurchase FHLB advances and other borrowings Accrued interest payable $91,644 $91,644 $91,644 12,198 444,267 900 2,254 845,847 5,535 12,198 444,439 900 2,254 844,952 5,535 12,198 5,535 23,210 2,028 23,210 2,028 $882,299 353,145 533 $882,299 353,939 533 35,109 17,076 694 35,111 17,355 694 $882,299 533 694 $444,439 900 2,254 2,028 $844,952 23,210 $353,939 35,111 17,355 46 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (18) Fair Value Measurements (continued) The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: Carrying Amount Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Interest-bearing deposits in other banks- term deposits Securities Loans held for sale Loans, net of allowance Accrued interest receivable Cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance Mortgage servicing rights Financial liabilities: Demand and saving deposits Time deposits Federal funds purchased Securities sold under agreements to repurchase FHLB advances and other borrowings Accrued interest payable $124,745 $124,745 $124,745 15,284 367,001 2,846 818,611 6,107 15,284 367,323 2,846 827,267 6,107 15,284 6,107 23,594 1,150 23,594 1,404 $763,772 390,688 2,124 $763,772 397,320 2,124 $763,772 2,124 $367,323 2,846 1,404 $827,267 23,594 $397,320 31,149 34,788 985 31,147 35,054 985 985 31,147 35,054 (19) Stock-Compensation Plans During 2012, the Company approved an equity incentive plan to promote the long-term financial success of the Company through stock-based awards to employees, directors or service providers who contribute to that success. This equity incentive plan permits Company management to approve and grant a maximum of 150,000 shares of common stock-based awards in the form of any combination of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards or cash incentive awards. Stock Options The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation model (Black-Scholes) based on the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur. No options were granted for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019 5,000 shares of non-qualified stock options were granted. 47 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (19) Stock-Compensation Plans Stock Options (continued) The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019: Expected volatility Expected dividend yield Expected term (in years) Risk free rate 2019 0.0163 0.88% 5.00 2.39% Based on these assumptions the estimated weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $2.42 during 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $16, $19, and $18 in compensation expense for stock options, respectively. No tax benefits were recognized for the three-year period ended December 31, 2021. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $0, $276 and $393, respectively.

Future projected compensation expense (before tax benefits); assuming all restricted shares eventually vest to employees; would be $272, $62, $6, $6 and $2 for years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 respectively. (20) Stock Repurchase Program In October 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program authorizing an aggregate repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of common stock at market price, each year. In October 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program authorizing an aggregate repurchase of up to 100,000 of common stock at up to 110% of book value, which expired in October 2018. In July 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved reinstatement of the Company’s stock repurchase program. This program authorized the repurchase of blocks of common stock with a purchase price within a range of 90- 100% of book value. In November 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase plan. The plan provided a maximum dollar threshold of aggregate cost of repurchases under the plan, set a limit on the daily number of shares that could be repurchased and provided a maximum per share price. This plan, scheduled to expire on November 30, 2021, was subsequently extended to November 30, 2022 with modification of maximum per share price and daily purchase limits. A revised repurchase plan was approved by the Board of Directors as of December 30, 2021 and effective January 1, 2022, replacing the prior active plan. The revised stock repurchase plan provides additional funding, updated maximum per share price and adjusted daily limits and expires June 1, 2022. For the years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 131,500 and 17,900 shares under the repurchase program. There were no shares repurchased in 2019. 49 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (20) Stock Repurchase Program (continued) The purchase price for the shares of the Company’s stock repurchased is reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity as treasury stock. (21) Earnings Per Common Share For the years ended December 31, earnings per common share have been computed based on the following: Net income Net income available to common stockholders 2021 2020 2019 $11,386 $11,386 $10,290 $11,022 $10,290 $11,022 Average number of common shares outstanding Effect of dilutive options 3,665,228 15,844 3,726,475 10,799 3,701,671 22,444 Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share 3,681,072 3,737,274 3,724,093 (22) Equity and Regulatory Matters The Company and Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state 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 financial statements. In September 2019, the FDIC finalized a rule that introduced an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy known as the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, the Company and Banks must have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act lowered the CBLR to 8% through December 31, 2020. Beginning in 2021, the CBLR will increase to 8.5% for the calendar year, before increasing back to 9% beginning January 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company and Banks qualified for and elected to use the CBLR framework. An institution opting into the CBLR framework and meeting all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. As of December 31, 2021, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized all six Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2021, which management believes have changed the capital categories of the Banks. 50 1986 - 2021ANNIVERSARY2021 Annual Report NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (000s omitted except share data) (22) Equity and Regulatory Matters (continued) The Company and the Banks actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31 are presented in the following tables: As of December 31, 2021: Community Bank Leverage Ratio: Company Northwest German Davis Freeport Lena Herscher As of December 31, 2020: Community Bank Leverage Ratio: Company Northwest German Davis Freeport Lena Herscher Actual Amount In $000s $153,543 33,922 28,252 19,575 33,006 11,324 20,130 Actual Amount In $000s $147,077 29,455 26,201 18,632 30,662 10,962 19,200 Ratio 10.50% 8.83% 9.30% 11.43% 10.07% 11.99% 11.75% Ratio 10.74% 8.53% 9.41% 11.00% 9.86% 11.50% 11.67% To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount In $000s Ratio $116,938 30,748 24,308 13,969 26,211 7,554 13,705 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount In $000s Ratio $109,576 27,615 22,275 13,547 24,882 7,627 13,165 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% 8.00% (23) Dividends State banking regulations restrict the amount of dividends that a bank may pay to its stockholders. The regulations provide that dividends are limited to the balance of undivided profits, subject to capital-adequacy requirements, plus an additional amount equal to the Bank’s current-year earnings through the date of any declaration of dividends.
