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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Audit Committee
Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
OOppiinniioonn
We have audited the consolidated financial statements (the financial statements'') of Foresight Financial Group, Inc.
and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and
2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the
financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the
results of its operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021,
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (''GAAP'').
BBaassiiss ffoorr OOppiinniioonn
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAS"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Foresight Financial
Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical
requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess ooff MMaannaaggeemmeenntt ffoorr tthhee FFiinnaanncciiaall SSttaatteemmeennttss
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether 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 one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

AAuuddiittoorr''ss RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittyy ffoorr tthhee AAuuddiitt ooff tthhee FFiinnaanncciiaall SSttaatteemmeennttss
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit
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.
SSuupppplleemmeennttaarryy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The
consolidating information included in Schedules 1 and 2, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived
from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a
whole.

(000s omitted except share data)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Foresight Financial Group, Inc. (Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (Banks) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
to general practices within the banking industry. 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.

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.
((ii)) MMaarrkkeettaabbllee EEqquuiittyy SSeeccuurriittiieess aanndd OOtthheerr IInnvveessttmmeennttss
Marketable equity securities have a readily determinable fair value and are measured at fair value with
changes in fair value reported in net income. 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.

((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.

(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.

• 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. At the time of origination, the Company evaluates the borrower's repayment ability
through a review of debt-to-income and credit scores.

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. Loan commitments are recorded
when they are funded. Standby or performance letters of credit are considered financial guarantees in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards and are recorded at fair value, if material.
((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.

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual
percentage of the outstanding principal and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of
mortgage servicing rights prior to the change in accounting principle was offset against loan servicing fee

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. The fair values of these mortgage
derivatives are to be estimated based on the net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the
loans and on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitments. Changes in fair values
on these derivatives are to be included in net gains on sales of loans. The Company has deemed the effect
of these derivatives to be immaterial to the financial statements and, accordingly, has elected not to record
fair values associated with these derivatives.

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost
of disposal when acquired. Included in this category is Bank owned real estate originally purchased for
potential future expansion or no longer in active use in which the Company has elected to sell. Subsequent
to foreclosure and transfer to other real estate owned, valuations are periodically performed by
management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net
expenses from foreclosed assets and other real estate owned.

The core revenue recognition principle requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company
expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those services or products recognized as performance
obligations are satisfied. 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.

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.

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. Management does not believe there now are such matters that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
((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.
((yy)) TTrruusstt AAsssseettss
Assets of the trust departments of State Bank and State Bank of Herscher, other than trust cash on deposit
at the Banks, are not included in these financial statements because they are not assets of the Company.

Intangible assets attributable to the value of core deposits are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets. The excess of
purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is not amortized.
The Company evaluates whether goodwill and other intangible assets may be impaired at least annually; and
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not the fair value of the
reporting unit or asset is less than its carrying amount.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase liabilities represent amounts advanced by various

The Company records the cost of stock-based employee compensation using the fair-value method.
Compensation expense for share-based awards is recorded over the vesting period at the fair value of the
award at the time of grant. The Company has historically assumed no projected forfeitures on its stock
based compensation, since forfeitures have not been significant.

The following ASUs have been issued by FASB and may impact the Company’s financial statements in
future reporting periods.
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.
Maturities of certificates of deposits at other financial institutions as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

There were no held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the bonds are of high credit
quality, management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline in fair value is
largely due to market interest rate fluctuations and current bond markets. The fair value is expected to recover
as the bonds approach their maturity dates and/or market rates.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, is an economic
stimulus bill signed into law on March 27, 2020, in response to the economic fallout of the CV-19 pandemic in
the United States. The creation of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) enacted under the CARES Act
provides forgivable loans to small businesses for payroll obligations, emergency grants to cover immediate
operating costs, and a mechanism for loan forgiveness by the Small Business Administration should all criteria
be met. Included in commercial loans are approximately $8,805 and $57,211 of loans granted under the
Paycheck Protection Program as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These loans are fully guaranteed
by the Small Business Administration.

The Company regularly evaluates various attributes of loans to determine the appropriateness of the allowance
for loan losses. The Company generally monitors credit quality indicators for all loans using the following
internally prepared ratings:
'Pass' ratings are assigned to loans with adequate collateral and debt service ability; such that collectability of
the contractual loan payments is highly probable.
'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.

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.

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:

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.

(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.

(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

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.

(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.

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%.

(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.

(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.

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

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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. The payment of dividends would also be restricted if a Bank does not meet the
minimum capital conservation buffer as defined by Basel III regulatory capital guidelines.
