Disciplined Interest Rate Risk Management FLOATING RATE PORTFOLIO Floating portfolio is predominantly indexed to SOFR, which aligns with the Bank’s SOFR‐indexed and managed rate non‐maturity deposit portfolio. 61% of portfolio as of 6/30/26: METHODICAL APPROACH Typically individually match‐fund loans with maturities over 5 years and amounts greater than $5MM. Portfolio match‐funding in various terms against the fixed‐rate loan portfolio with maturities under 5 years and amounts less than $5MM. ~$10‐$25 million of monthly wholesale funding maturities to effectively manage the liquidity requirements of the match‐funding strategy. Loans Deposits SOFR: $1.700 B SOFR: $811 MM Prime: $468 MM Managed rate, non‐maturity: $1.378 B TOTAL = $2.168 B TOTAL = $2.189 B FIXED RATE PORTFOLIO Wholesale funding used to match maturities and cash flows on long‐term fixed rate loans. This locks in interest rate spread and maintains greater stability in net interest margin. 39% of portfolio as of 6/30/26.

Note: Peer group defined as publicly‐traded bank with total assets between $1.75 billion and $7 billion. Peer data not yet available for 2Q26. MATCH FUNDING STRATEGY SUPPORTS Long-term NIM stability
Decline in Non-Performing Assets PROGRESS ON NPAs WITH STRONG COLLATERAL POSITION NPAs declined in 2Q26, driven by the repayment of a non-accrual SBA loan and lower non-accrual equipment finance loans. Two largest NPAs were $17.0 million and $6.1 million at June 30, 2026. We continue to expect progress toward resolution of these credits later this year.
