Hamilton, Bermuda - April 30, 2020: The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited ("Butterfield" or the "Bank") (BSX: NTB.BH; NYSE: NTB) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $40.3 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, compared to $52.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share, for the period ended March 31, 2019. Core net income^1^ for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $40.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, compared to $51.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share, for the period ended March 31, 2019.

The core return on average tangible common equity^1^ for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 18.6%, compared to 25.6% for the period ended March 31, 2019. The core efficiency ratio^1^ for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 63.8%, compared with 60.1% for the period ended March 31, 2019.

Michael Collins, Butterfield's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Our first quarter financial results were relatively strong despite the early headwinds that we experienced from the global COVID-19 health crisis. As an essential service provider, Butterfield continues to offer financial services for our customers, while maintaining social distancing and taking necessary steps to reduce the spread of the virus. We are acutely aware of the personal and financial challenges being experienced throughout the communities in which we operate. We have taken appropriate measures, such as temporarily deferring mortgage payments, reducing fees, safeguarding our colleagues and customers in retail banking, and operating remotely where possible. We have also significantly increased our contributions to community programs for people in the greatest need.

"We are working closely with our regulators and government officials. Our capital and liquidity profile remains strong. We continue to stress test our risk positions and believe that our historically conservative underwriting criteria now places the Bank in a strong position to manage through this crisis, and we are beginning to plan for possible economic recovery scenarios. It is important to note that the impacts to Butterfield from this health crisis will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the length and severity of the economic downturn, the interest rate environment and the time it takes for tourism in Bermuda and Cayman to recover. We are monitoring the changing operating environment closely while preparing for a challenging economic base case and continue to take appropriate actions to balance the interests of all stakeholders."

(1) See table "Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings" below for reconciliation of US GAAP results to non-GAAP measures.         1

Net income decreased in the first quarter of 2020 versus the prior quarter due principally to lower fee income and a $5.2 million reserve build for future expected credit losses under CECL, which were partially offset by lower non-interest expenses and higher net interest income.

Net interest income (“NII”) for the first quarter of 2020 was $87.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million compared with NII of $86.2 million in the previous quarter and $88.0 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the first quarter of 2020 was 2.63%, an increase of 4 basis points from 2.59% in the previous quarter and down 68 basis points from 3.31% in the first quarter of 2019. NIM increased in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior quarter due to lower fixed rate deposit costs that were partially offset by lower asset yields driven by a lower global interest rate environment.

Non-interest income decreased to $47.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $49.7 million in the previous quarter and $43.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease versus the prior quarter was mostly due to lower banking fees, particularly card services, which benefited from seasonal increases in the fourth quarter of 2019 and was partly offset by increased foreign exchange commissions.

Non-interest expenses were $88.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $93.9 million in the previous quarter and $80.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. Core non-interest expenses^1^ were $87.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with $91.6 million in the previous quarter and $80.3 million in the first quarter of 2019. Non-interest expenses were lower in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior quarter due to re-sequencing the Bank's re-branding initiative, as well as lower travel expenses and client event costs.

Capital Management

The Bank adheres to a disciplined and balanced capital return policy. The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.44 per common share to be paid on May 28, 2020 to shareholders of record on May 14, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, Butterfield repurchased 1.3 million common shares under the Bank's current 3.5 million common share repurchase plan authorization.

The current total regulatory capital ratio as at March 31, 2020 was 19.8% as calculated under Basel III, compared to 19.4% as at December 31, 2019. Both of these ratios are significantly above regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank.

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019

Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $40.3 million, down $3.6 million from $43.9 million in the prior quarter.

The $3.6 million decrease in net income in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 over the previous quarter was due principally to the following:

$1.4 million increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses due to a $2.5 million decrease in interest expense on deposits due to both lower volumes and the impact of deposit repricing in the Channel Islands and a $0.8 million increase in interest income on loans due to loan growth in the Channel Islands and UK segment. This was partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in interest income from investments and banks driven by reduced rates as a result of recent fed rate cuts;
$3.3 million decrease in staff-related costs due primarily to normalizing the Bank's footprint in the Channel Islands following the ABN AMRO acquisition in 2019;
--- ---
$1.6 million decrease in marketing expenses associated with lower costs on the Bank's re-branding initiative, lower travel expenses and client event costs;
--- ---
$2.1 million decrease in non-interest income primarily due to a $2.8 million decrease in banking income due to reduced card services income as a result of seasonal increases in the fourth quarter of 2019 as well as
--- ---

4


lower current quarter transaction volumes offset by a $0.9 million increase in foreign exchange revenue driven by higher volumes;

$4.8 million increase in provision for expected credit losses due to the negative revised macroeconomic forecasts impacting future expected credit loss estimates;
$0.9 million decrease in total other gains/(losses) due to mark-to-market losses; and
--- ---
$2.9 million increase in tax expense due to prior quarter recognition of a deferred tax asset in the UK.
--- ---

Non-Core Items^1^

Non-core items resulted in expenses of $0.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which improved by $1.8 million compared to expenses of $2.3 million in the prior quarter. Non-core items for the period were incurred in the final implementation of a target staffing model for the combined Channel Islands segment following the ABN AMRO (Channel Islands) acquisition.

Management does not believe that the expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

^(1)^ See table "Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings" below for reconciliation of US GAAP results to non-GAAP measures.

BALANCE SHEET COMMENTARY AT MARCH 31, 2020 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 2019

Total Assets

Total assets of the Bank were $13.2 billion at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $0.7 billion from December 31, 2019. The Bank maintained a highly liquid position at March 31, 2020, with $7.8 billion of cash and demand deposits with banks, reverse repurchase agreements and liquid investments representing 58.8% of total assets, compared with 60.0% at December 31, 2019.

Loans Receivable

The loan portfolio totaled $5.0 billion at March 31, 2020, which was a decrease of $141.7 million compared to December 31, 2019, due primarily to the impact of a weaker GBP currency on the Channel Islands portfolio.

Allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2020 totaled $36.2 million, an increase of $12.6 million from December 31, 2019. The movement was primarily due to the adoption of the new CECL standard.

The loan portfolio represented 37.9% of total assets at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: 36.9%), while loans as a percentage of customer deposits increased from 41.3% at December 31, 2019 to 42.6% at March 31, 2020. The increases in both are due principally to a decrease in customer deposits at March 31, 2020 related to expected Euro deposit declines in the Channel Islands.

As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had gross non-accrual loans of $53.1 million, representing 1.1% of total gross loans, a slight increase from the $50.4 million, or 1.0%, of total loans at December 31, 2019. Butterfield continues to engage proactively with clients who experience financial difficulty.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) increased by $0.4 million from year-end 2019 to $4.2 million at March 31, 2020, as a result of one new foreclosure during the first quarter of 2020.

Investment in Securities

The investment portfolio was $4.5 billion at March 31, 2020, up $101.2 million from December 31, 2019.

The investment portfolio is made up of high quality assets with 99.8% invested in A-or-better-rated securities. The investment yield increased from 2.77% in the previous quarter to 2.78% as at March 31, 2020. Total net unrealized gains were $155.0 million, compared to total net unrealized gains of $60.8 million at December 31, 2019, which was due to lower long term US dollar interest rates.

Deposits

Average deposits were $12.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $12.2 billion in the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The cost of deposits decreased 8 basis points from the previous quarter reflecting customer rate decreases in term deposit products and driven by active repricing initiatives in the Channel Islands.

Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings

The table below shows the reconciliation of net income in accordance with US GAAP to core earnings, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain significant items that are included in our US GAAP results of operations. We focus on core net income, which we calculate by adjusting net income to exclude certain income or expense items that are not representative of our business operations, or “non-core”. Core net income includes revenue, gains, losses and expense items incurred in the normal course of business. We believe that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these non-core items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Bank and predicting future performance. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as management.

The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Note 1: Nature of business

The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited (“Butterfield”, the “Bank” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and has a banking license under the Banks and Deposit Companies Act, 1999 (“the Act”). Butterfield is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”), which operates in accordance with Basel principles.

Butterfield is a full service bank and wealth manager headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. The Bank operates its business through three geographic segments: Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and the Channel Islands and the United Kingdom ("UK"), where its principal banking operations are located and where it offers specialized financial services. Butterfield offers banking services, comprised of retail and corporate banking, and wealth management, which consists of trust, private banking, and asset management. In the Bermuda and Cayman Islands segments, Butterfield offers both banking and wealth management. In the Channel Islands and the UK segment, the Bank offers wealth management and residential property lending. Butterfield also has operations in the jurisdictions of The Bahamas, Canada, Mauritius, Singapore and Switzerland, which are included in our Other segment.

The Bank's common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NTB" and on the Bermuda Stock Exchange ("BSX") under the symbol "NTB.BH".

Note 2: Significant accounting policies

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the opinion of Management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Bank’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. The Bank’s results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the most critical accounting policies upon which the financial condition depends and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows:

• Allowance for credit losses

• Fair value and impairment of financial instruments

• Impairment of long-lived assets

• Impairment of goodwill

• Employee benefit plans

• Share-based payments

• Business combinations

New Accounting Standards

Accounting for Financial instruments - Credit losses

Starting on January 1, 2020 the Bank adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). Accordingly, from the date of adoption, the Bank uses a current expected credit loss model ("CECL") which is based on expected losses. The model used by the Bank up to December 31, 2019 to estimate credit losses was based on incurred losses. The CECL model is applied by the Bank to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities. The Bank also applies the CECL model to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures such as undrawn loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. In line with Topic 326, the Bank will present credit losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") securities as a valuation allowance rather than as a direct write-down. Changes in expected credit losses are recorded through the respective credit loss allowances on the consolidated balance sheets as well as in the provision for credit losses (or recoveries) in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Bank's purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans outstanding as at January 1, 2020 are now classified as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans and both the amortized cost and an allowance for expected credit losses are disclosed and included with other non-PCD loans' figures. The Bank will continue to recognize the amortization of the noncredit discount, if any, as interest income based on the yield of such assets.

The Bank has not restated comparative information previously accounted for under the incurred loss and the PCI models. The total adjustment resulting from the adoption of this methodology on the opening balance of the Bank’s accumulated deficit as at January 1, 2020 was a negative adjustment of $7.8 million relating to the Bank's loan portfolio.

Under the CECL model, the Bank collects and maintains attributes as they relate to its financial instruments that are within scope of CECL including fair value of collateral, expected performance over the lifetime of the instruments and reasonable and supportable assumptions about future economic conditions. The Bank's measurement of expected losses takes into account historical loss information and is primarily based on the product of: the respective instrument’s probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”) and exposure at default (“EAD”). For AFS securities, any allowance for credit losses is based on an impairment assessment.

The Bank made the accounting policy election to write off accrued interest receivable on loans that are placed on non-accrual status by reversing the then accrued interest balance against interest income revenue.

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses

The Bank maintains allowances for credit losses, which in management’s opinion is adequate to absorb all estimated credit-related losses that are expected in its lending and off-balance sheet credit-related arrangements at the balance sheet date.

Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities on a collective basis by major security type when similar risk characteristics exist, or failing that, on an individual basis.

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Bank first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Bank evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

(In thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in the current-loan specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting practices, vintage, portfolio mix, delinquency level, term as well as changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in macroeconomic factors and collateral values for periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Bank has identified the following portfolio segments: Residential mortgages, Consumers loans (including overdrafts), Commercial loans, Commercial overdrafts, Commercial real estate loans and Credit cards.

For Loans and overdrafts, Management uses a probability of default and loss-given-default model to estimate the allowance for credit losses and a loss-rate. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. For Credit cards, Management uses a loss rate to estimate expected credit losses.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans. The contractual term excludes potential extensions, renewals and modifications unless management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that the extension or renewal options included in the original contract will occur or that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed. Credit card receivables do not have stated maturities, therefore establishing a contractual term is performed by using analytical approximation behavior.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting developments were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or are accounting standards pending adoption:

In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published ASU 2020-01-Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Bank does not anticipate this ASU to have a material impact on the Bank.

In February 2020, the FASB published ASU 2020-02- Financial Instrument - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (SEC Update). The amendments are effective immediately. The Bank does not anticipate this ASU to have a material impact on the Bank.

In March 2020, the FASB published ASU 2020-03-Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. Issue 1: Fair value option Disclosures. The amendments clarify that all entities are required to provide the fair value option disclosures in par 825-10-50-24 through 50-32. Issue 2: Applicability of Portfolio Exception in Topic 820 to Nonfinancial Items. Paragraph 820-10-35-2(g) and 820-10-35-18L are amended to include the phrase nonfinancial items accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815 to be consistent with the previous amendments to Section 820-10-35 that were made by Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. Issue 3: Disclosures for Depository and Lending Institutions. The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in Topic 320 apply to the disclosure requirements in Topic 942 for depository and lending institutions. Issue 4: Cross-reference to Line-of-credit or revolving-Debt arrangements Guidance in Subtopic 470-50. The amendments improve the understandability of the guidance. Issue 5: Cross-reference to Net Asset Value Practical Expedient in Subtopic 820-10. The amendments improve the understandability of the guidance. Issue 6: Interaction of Topic 842 and Topic 326. The amendments clarify that the contractual term of a net investment in a lease determined in accordance with Topic 842 should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses under Topic 326.Issue 7: Interaction of Topic 326 and Subtopic 860-20 .The amendments to Subtopic 860-20, Transfers and Servicing - Sales of Financial Assets, clarify that when an entity regains control of financial assets sold, an allowance for credit losses should be recorded in accordance with Topic 326. The amendments related to Issue 1, Issue 2, Issue 4, and Issue 5 are conforming amendments. For public business entities, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this final Update. The amendment related to Issue 3 is a conforming amendment that affects the guidance in the amendments in Accounting Standards Update 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. That guidance relates to the amendments in 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The effective date of Update 2019-04 for the amendments to Update 2016-01 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For amendments to Issues 6 and 7, for entities that have adopted the guidance in Update 2016-13, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13. The Bank does not anticipate this ASU to have a material impact on the Bank.

In March 2020, the FASB published ASU 2020-04-Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Inter Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provide by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities upon issuance (March 12, 2020) through December 31, 2022. The Bank does not anticipate this ASU to have a material impact on the Bank.

Investments with Unrealized Loss Positions

The Bank does not believe that the AFS and HTM investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2020 (and December 31, 2019), which were composed of 52 securities representing 28% of the AFS and HTM portfolios' carrying value (December 31, 2019: 68 and 23%, respectively), represent an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). Total gross unrealized losses were 1.7% of the fair value of affected securities (December 31, 2019: 0.8%). Management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. Unrealized losses were attributable primarily to changes in market interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities. The following describes the processes for identifying credit impairment in security types with the most significant unrealized losses as shown in the preceding tables.

Management believes that all the US government and federal agencies securities do not have any credit losses, given the explicit and implicit guarantees provided by the US federal government.

Management believes that all the Non-US governments debt securities do not have any credit losses, given the explicit guarantee provided by the issuing government.

Investments in Asset-backed securities - Student loans are composed primarily of securities collateralized by Federal Family Education Loan Program loans (“FFELP loans”). FFELP loans benefit from a US federal government guarantee of at least 97% of defaulted principal and accrued interest, with additional credit support provided in the form of over-collateralization, subordination and excess spread, which collectively total in excess of 100%. Accordingly, the vast majority of FFELP loan-backed securities are not exposed to traditional consumer credit risk.

Investments in Residential mortgage-backed securities relate to 13 securities (December 31, 2019: 7) which are rated AAA and possess similar significant credit enhancement as described above. No credit losses were recognized on these securities as the weighted average credit support and the weighted average loan-to-value ratios range from 6% - 24% and 52% - 62%, respectively. Current credit support is significantly greater than any delinquencies experienced on the underlying mortgages.

In the following tables, debt securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be OTTI are categorized as being in a loss position for "less than 12 months" or "12 months or more" based on the point in time that the fair value most recently declined below the amortized cost basis.

Note 6: Loans

The principal means of securing residential mortgages, personal, credit card and business loans are entitlements over assets and guarantees. Mortgage loans are generally repayable over periods of up to thirty years and personal and business loans are generally repayable over terms not exceeding five years. Government loans are repayable over a variety of terms which are individually negotiated. Amounts owing on credit cards are revolving and typically a minimum amount is due within 30 days from billing. The effective yield on total loans as at March 31, 2020 is 4.47% (December 31, 2019: 4.73%). The interest receivable on total loans as at March 31, 2020 is $9.2 million (December 31, 2019: $9.2 million). The interest receivable is included in Accrued interest and other assets on the balance sheet and is excluded from all loan amounts disclosed in the present note to the financial statements.

Loans' Credit Quality

The four credit quality classifications set out in the following tables are defined below and describe the credit quality of the Bank's lending portfolio. These classifications each encompass a range of more granular internal credit rating grades. Loans' internal credit ratings are assigned by the Bank's customer relationship managers as well as members of the Bank's jurisdictional and group Credit Committees. The borrowers' financial condition is documented at loan origination and maintained periodically thereafter at a frequency which can be up to monthly for certain loans. The loans' performing status, as well as current economic trends, are continuously monitored. The Bank's jurisdictional and group Credit Committees meet on a monthly basis. The Bank also has a Group Provisions and Impairments Committee which is responsible for approving significant provisions and other impairment charges.

A pass loan shall mean a loan that is expected to be repaid as agreed. A loan is classified as pass where the Bank is not expected to face repayment difficulties because the present and projected cash flows are sufficient to repay the debt and the repayment schedule as established by the agreement is being followed. Loans in this category are reviewed by the Bank’s management on at least an annual basis.

A special mention loan shall mean a loan under close monitoring by the Bank’s management on at least a quarterly basis. Loans in this category are currently protected and still performing (current with respect to interest and principal payments), but are potentially weak and present an undue credit risk exposure, but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard.

A substandard loan shall mean a loan whose evident unreliability makes repayment doubtful and there is a threat of loss to the Bank unless the unreliability is averted. Loans in this category are under close monitoring by the Bank’s management on at least a quarterly basis.

A non-accrual loan shall mean either management is of the opinion full payment of principal or interest is in doubt or when principal or interest is 90 days past due and for residential mortgage loans which are not well secured and in the process of collection. Loans in this category are under close monitoring by the Bank’s management on at least a quarterly basis.

The amortized cost of loans by credit quality classifications and allowance for expected credit losses by class of loans is as follows:

Changes in Allowances For Credit Losses

The increase in the provision for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to changes in macroeconomic factors, such as GDP forecasts,  and changes in the credit ratings of some commercial customers. As per the Bank’s accounting policy, as disclosed in Note 2, the Bank continuously collects and maintains attributes related to financial instruments within the scope of CECL, including current conditions, and reasonable and supportable assumptions about future economic conditions.

Collateral-dependent loans

Management identified that the repayment of certain commercial and consumer mortgage loans is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or the sale of the collateral pledged to the Bank ("collateral-dependent loans"). The Bank believes that for the vast majority of loans identified as collateral-dependent , the sale of the collateral will be sufficient to fully reimburse the loan's carrying amount.

Non-Performing Loans

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, no interest was recognized on non-accrual loans. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2020 include PCD loans, which have all been on non-accrual status since their acquisition.

Note 7: Credit risk concentrations

Concentrations of credit risk in the lending and off-balance sheet credit-related arrangements portfolios arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities, are in the same geographic region, or when they have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Bank regularly monitors various segments of its credit risk portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks and to obtain collateral when deemed necessary. In the Bank's commercial portfolio, risk concentrations are evaluated primarily by industry and by geographic region of loan origination. In the consumer portfolio, concentrations are evaluated primarily by products. Credit exposures include loans, guarantees and acceptances, letters of credit and commitments for undrawn lines of credit. Unconditionally cancellable credit cards and overdraft lines of credit are excluded from the tables below.

The following tables summarize the credit exposure of the Bank by business sector and by geographic region. The exposures amounts disclosed below do not include accrued interest and are gross of specific allowances for credit losses and collateral held.

Note 9: Employee benefit plans

The Bank maintains trusteed pension plans including non-contributory defined benefit plans and a number of defined contribution plans, and provides post-retirement medical benefits to its qualifying retirees. The defined benefit provisions under the pension plans are generally based upon years of service and average salary during the relevant years of employment. The defined benefit and post-retirement medical plans are not open to new participants and are non-contributory and the funding required is provided by the Bank, based upon the advice of independent actuaries. The defined benefit pension plans are in the Bermuda, Guernsey and United Kingdom jurisdictions and the defined benefit post-retirement medical plan is in Bermuda.

The Bank includes an estimate of the 2020 Bank contribution and estimated benefit payments for the next ten years under the pension and post-retirement plans in its financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material revisions to these estimates.

Note 10: Credit related arrangements, repurchase agreements and commitments

Commitments

The Bank enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of the Bank's commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. Management assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of the allowance for expected credit losses.

The Bank has a facility with one of its custodians, whereby the Bank may offer up to US$200 million of standby letters of credit to its customers on a fully secured basis. Under the standard terms of the facility, the custodian has the right to set-off against securities held of 110% of the utilized facility. At March 31, 2020, $141.7 million (December 31, 2019: $143.6 million) of standby letters of credit were issued under this facility.

Outstanding unfunded commitments to extend credit March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Commitments to extend credit 643,207 549,049
Documentary and commercial letters of credit 1,850 355
Total unfunded commitments to extend credit 645,057 549,404
Allowance for credit losses (179 )

Credit-Related Arrangements

Standby letters of credit and letters of guarantee are issued at the request of a Bank customer in order to secure the customer’s payment or performance obligations to a third party. These guarantees represent an irrevocable obligation of the Bank to pay the third party beneficiary upon presentation of the guarantee and satisfaction of the documentary requirements stipulated therein, without investigation as to the validity of the beneficiary’s claim against the customer. Generally, the term of the standby letters of credit does not exceed one year, while the term of the letters of guarantee does not exceed four years. The types and amounts of collateral security held by the Bank for these standby letters of credit and letters of guarantee is generally represented by deposits with the Bank or a charge over assets held in mutual funds.

The Bank considers the fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit and letters of guarantee to be representative of the fair value of its obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. In accordance with applicable accounting standards related to guarantees, the Bank defers fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit and letters of guarantee. The fees are then recognized in income proportionately over the life of the credit agreements. The following table presents the outstanding financial guarantees. Collateral is shown at estimated market value less selling cost. Where the collateral is cash, it is shown gross including accrued income.

Total 231,480 224,184 7,296 238,777 231,383 7,394

Repurchase agreements

The Bank utilizes repurchase agreements and resell agreements (reverse repurchase agreements) to manage liquidity. The risks of these transactions include changes in the fair value in the securities posted or received as collateral and other credit related events. The Bank manages these risks by ensuring that the collateral involved are appropriate and by monitoring the value of the securities posted or received as collateral on a daily basis.

As at March 31, 2020, the Bank had 9 open positions (December 31, 2019: 13) in resell agreements with a remaining maturity of less than 30 days involving pools of mortgages issued by US federal agencies. The amortized cost of these resell agreements is $192.3 million (December 31, 2019: $142.3 million) and are included in securities purchased under agreement to resell on the consolidated balance sheets. As at March 31, 2020, there were no positions (December 31, 2019: no positions) which were offset on the balance sheet to arrive at the carrying value, and there was no collateral amount which was available to offset against the future settlement amount.

Legal Proceedings

There are actions and legal proceedings pending against the Bank and its subsidiaries which arose in the normal course of its business. Management, after reviewing all actions and proceedings pending against or involving the Bank and its subsidiaries, considers that the resolution of these matters would in the aggregate not be material to the consolidated financial position of the Bank, except as noted in the following paragraphs.

As publicly announced, in November 2013, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York applied for and secured the issuance of so-called John Doe Summonses to six US financial institutions with which the Bank had correspondent bank relationships. The Bank has been fully cooperating with the US authorities in their ongoing investigation. Specifically, the Bank has conducted an extensive review and account remediation exercise to determine the US tax compliance status of US person account holders. The review process and results have been shared with the US authorities.

Management believes that as at March 31, 2020, a provision of $5.5 million (December 31, 2019: $5.5 million), which has been recorded, is appropriate. As the investigation remains ongoing at this time, the timing and terms of the final resolution, including any fines or penalties, remain uncertain and the financial impact to the Bank could exceed the amount of the provision. In this regard, we note that the US authorities have not approved or commented on the adequacy or reasonableness of the estimate. The provision is included on the consolidated balance sheets under other liabilities.

Note 11: Leases

The Bank enters into operating lease agreements either as the lessee or the lessor, mostly for office and parking spaces as well as for small office equipment. The terms of the existing leases, including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, extend up to the year 2035. Certain lease payments will be adjusted during the related lease's term based on movements in the relevant consumer price index.

Note 12: Segmented information

The Bank is managed by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) on a geographic basis. The Bank presents four reportable segments, three geographical and one other: Bermuda, Cayman, Channel Islands and the UK, and Other. The Other segment is composed of several non-reportable operating segments that have been aggregated in accordance with GAAP. Each reportable segment has a managing director who reports to the Chairman and CEO. The Chairman and CEO and the segment managing director have final authority over resource allocation decisions and performance assessment.

The geographic segments reflect this management structure and the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by the Chairman and CEO. Segment results are determined based on the Bank's management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the geographic segments. The process is designed around the Bank's organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. A description of each reportable segment and table of financial results is presented below.

Accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Bank's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Transactions between segments are accounted for on an accrual basis and are all eliminated upon consolidation. The Bank generally does not allocate assets, revenues and expenses among its business segments, with the exception of certain corporate overhead expenses and loan participation revenue and expense. Loan participation revenue and expenses are allocated pro-rata based upon the percentage of the total loan funded by each jurisdiction participating in the loan.

The Bermuda segment provides a full range of retail, commercial and private banking services. Retail services are offered to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses through three branch locations and through internet banking, mobile banking, automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and debit cards. Retail services include deposit services, consumer and mortgage lending, credit cards and personal insurance products. Commercial banking includes commercial lending and mortgages, cash management, payroll services, remote banking and letters of credit. Treasury services include money market and foreign exchange activities. Bermuda’s wealth management offering consists of Butterfield Asset Management Limited, which provides investment management, advisory and brokerage services and Butterfield Trust (Bermuda) Limited, which provides trust,

(In thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

estate, company management and custody services. Bermuda is also the location of the Bank's head offices and accordingly, retains the unallocated corporate overhead expenses.

The Cayman segment provides a comprehensive range of retail, commercial and private banking services. Retail services are offered to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses through three branch locations and through internet banking, mobile banking, ATMs and debit cards. Retail services include deposit services, consumer and mortgage lending, credit cards and property/auto insurance. Commercial banking includes commercial lending and mortgages, cash management, payroll services, remote banking and letters of credit. Treasury services include money market and foreign exchange activities. Cayman’s wealth management offering comprises investment management, advisory and brokerage services and Butterfield Trust (Cayman) Limited, which provides trust, estate and company management.

The Channel Islands and the UK segment includes the jurisdictions of Guernsey and Jersey (Channel Islands), and the UK. In the Channel Islands, a broad range of services are provided to private clients and financial intermediaries including private banking and treasury services, internet banking, wealth management and fiduciary services. The UK jurisdiction provides mortgage services for high-value residential properties.

The Other segment includes the jurisdictions of The Bahamas, Canada, Mauritius, Singapore and Switzerland. These operating segments individually and collectively do not meet the quantitative threshold for segmented reporting and are therefore aggregated as non-reportable operating segments.

Note 13: Derivative instruments and risk management

The Bank uses derivatives for risk management purposes and to meet the needs of its customers. The Bank’s derivative contracts principally involve over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions that are negotiated privately between the Bank and the counterparty to the contract and include interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts.

The Bank may pursue opportunities to reduce its exposure to credit losses on derivatives by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDAs”). Depending on the nature of the derivative transaction, bilateral collateral arrangements may be used as well. When the Bank is engaged in more than one outstanding derivative transaction with the same counterparty, and also has a legally enforceable master netting agreement with that counterparty, the net marked to market exposure represents the netting of the positive and negative exposures with that counterparty. When there is a net negative exposure, the Bank regards its credit exposure to the counterparty as being zero. The net marked to market position with a particular counterparty represents a reasonable measure of credit risk when there is a legally enforceable master netting agreement between the Bank and that counterparty.

Certain of these agreements contain credit risk-related contingent features in which the counterparty has the option to accelerate cash settlement of the Bank's net derivative liabilities with the counterparty in the event the Bank's credit rating falls below specified levels or the liabilities reach certain levels.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

(In thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

All derivative financial instruments, whether designated as hedges or not, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value within other assets or other liabilities. These amounts include the effect of netting. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative in the consolidated statements of operations depends on whether the contract has been designated as a hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting.

Notional Amounts

The notional amounts are not recorded as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as they represent the face amount of the contract to which a rate or price is applied to determine the amount of cash flows to be exchanged. Notional amounts represent the volume of outstanding transactions and do not represent the potential gain or loss associated with market risk or credit risk of such instruments. Credit risk is limited to the positive fair value of the derivative instrument, which is significantly less than the notional amount.

Fair Value

Derivative instruments, in the absence of any compensating up-front cash payments, generally have no market value at inception. They obtain value, positive or negative, as relevant interest rates, exchange rates, equity or commodity prices or indices change. The potential for derivatives to increase or decrease in value as a result of the foregoing factors is generally referred to as market risk. Market risk is managed within clearly defined parameters as prescribed by senior management of the Bank. The fair value is defined as the profit or loss associated with replacing the derivative contracts at prevailing market prices.

Risk Management Derivatives

The Bank enters into interest derivative contracts as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. The Bank’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain consolidated balance sheet assets and liabilities so that movements in interest rates do not adversely affect the net interest margin. Derivative instruments that are used as part of the Bank’s risk management strategy include interest rate swap contracts that have indices related to the pricing of specific consolidated balance sheet assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable-rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. The Bank uses foreign currency derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk. Certain hedging relationships are formally designated and qualify for hedge accounting as fair value or net investment hedges. Risk management derivatives comprise fair value hedges, net investment hedges and derivatives not formally designated as hedges as described below.

Fair value hedges consist of designated interest rate swaps and are used to minimize the Bank's exposure to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities due to movements in interest rates. The Bank previously entered into interest rate swaps to convert its fixed-rate long-term loans to floating-rate loans, and convert fixed-rate deposits to floating-rate deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Bank canceled its interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of loans receivable and therefore discontinued hedge accounting for these financial instruments. The fair value attributable to the hedged loans are accounted for prospectively and are being amortized to net income over the remaining life of each individual loan, which could extend to year 2029, using the effective interest method.

Net investment hedges includes designated currency swaps and qualifying non-derivative instruments and are used to minimize the Bank’s exposure to variability in the foreign currency translation of net investments in foreign operations. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognized in AOCL consistent with the related translation gains and losses of the hedged net investment. For net investment hedges, all critical terms of the hedged item and the hedging instrument are matched at inception and on an ongoing basis to minimize the risk of hedge ineffectiveness.

For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the Bank follows the method based on changes in spot exchange rates. Accordingly:

  • The change in the fair value of the derivative instrument that is reported in AOCL (i.e., the effective portion) is determined by the changes in spot exchange rates.

  • The change in the fair value of the derivative instrument attributable to changes in the difference between the forward rate and spot rate are excluded from the measure

of the hedge ineffectiveness and that difference is reported directly in the consolidated statements of operations under foreign exchange revenue.

Amounts recorded in AOCL are reclassified to earnings only upon the sale or substantial liquidation of an investment in a foreign subsidiary.

For foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the translation gain or loss that is recorded in AOCL is based on the spot exchange rate between the reporting currency of the Bank and the functional currency of the respective subsidiary. See Note 20: Accumulated other comprehensive loss for details on the amount recognized into AOCL during the current period from translation gain or loss.

Derivatives not formally designated as hedges are entered into to manage the interest rate risk of fixed rate deposits and foreign exchange risk of the Bank's exposure. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not formally designated as hedges are recognized in foreign exchange income.

Client service derivatives

The Bank enters into foreign exchange contracts and interest rate caps primarily to meet the foreign exchange needs of its customers. Foreign exchange contracts are agreements to exchange specific amounts of currencies at a future date at a specified rate of exchange. Changes in the fair value of client services derivative instruments are recognized in foreign exchange income.

We manage derivative exposure by monitoring the credit risk associated with each counterparty using counterparty specific credit risk limits, using master netting arrangements where appropriate and obtaining collateral. The Bank elected to offset in the consolidated balance sheets certain gross derivative assets and liabilities subject to netting agreements.

The Bank also elected not to offset certain derivative assets or liabilities and all collateral received or paid that the Bank or the counterparties could legally offset in the event of default. In the tables below, these positions are deducted from the net fair value presented in the consolidated balance sheets in order to present the net exposures.

Note 14: Fair value measurements

The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Management classifies these items based on the type of inputs used in their respective fair value determination as described in Note 2 of the Bank's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Management reviews the price of each security monthly, comparing market values to expectations and to the prior month’s price. Management's expectations are based upon knowledge of prevailing market conditions and developments relating to specific issuers and/or asset classes held in the investment portfolio. Where there are unusual or significant price movements, or where a certain asset class has performed out-of-line with expectations, the matter is reviewed by management.

Financial instruments in Level 1 include actively traded redeemable mutual funds.

Financial instruments in Level 2 include government debt securities, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, forward foreign exchange contracts and mutual funds not actively traded.

Financial instruments in Level 3 include asset-backed securities for which the market is relatively illiquid and for which information about actual trading prices is not readily available.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 15: Interest rate risk

The following tables set out the assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity on the date of the earlier of contractual maturity, expected maturity or repricing date. Use of these tables to derive information about the Bank’s interest rate risk position is limited by the fact that customers may choose to terminate their financial instruments at a date earlier than the contractual maturity or repricing date. Examples of this include fixed-rate mortgages, which are shown at contractual maturity but which may pre-pay earlier, and certain term deposits, which are shown at contractual maturity but which may be withdrawn before their contractual maturity subject to prepayment penalties. Investments are shown based on remaining contractual maturities. The remaining contractual principal maturities for mortgage-backed securities (primarily US government agencies) do not consider prepayments. Remaining expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature.

Note 16: Long-term debt

On June 27, 2005, the Bank issued US $150 million of Subordinated Lower Tier II capital notes. The notes were issued at par in two tranches, namely US $90 million in Series A notes due 2015, which were redeemed at face value in January 2014, and US $60 million in Series B notes due 2020. The issuance was by way of private placement with US institutional investors. The notes are listed on the BSX in the specialist debt securities category. The Series B notes paid a fixed coupon of 5.11% until July 2, 2015 when they became redeemable in whole at the Bank’s option. The Series B notes were priced at a spread of 1.10% over the 10-year US Treasury yield. During September 2011, the Bank repurchased a portion of the outstanding 5.11% 2005 Series B Subordinated notes (“the Note”). The face value of the portion of the Note repurchased was $15 million and the purchase price paid for the repurchase was $13.875 million, which realized a gain of $1.125 million.

On May 27, 2008, the Bank issued US $78 million of Subordinated Lower Tier II capital notes. The notes were issued at par and in two tranches, namely US $53 million in Series A notes due 2018, which were redeemed at face value in May 2013, and US $25 million in Series B notes due 2023. The issuance was by way of private placement with US institutional investors. The notes are listed on the BSX in the specialist debt securities category. The proceeds of the issue were used to repay the entire amount of the US $78 million outstanding subordinated notes redeemed in May 2008. The Series B notes pay a fixed coupon of 8.44% until May 27, 2018 when they became redeemable in whole at the Bank’s option. The Series B notes were priced at a spread of 4.51% over the 10-year US Treasury yield.

On May 24, 2018, the Bank issued US $75 million of Subordinated Lower Tier II capital notes. The notes were issued at par and due on June 1, 2028.  The issuance was by way of a registered offering with US institutional investors. The notes are listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX) in the specialist debt securities category. The proceeds of the issue were used, among other, to repay the entire amount of the US $47 million outstanding subordinated notes series 2003-B. The notes issued pay a fixed coupon of 5.25% until June 1, 2023 when they become redeemable in whole at the option of the Bank. The notes were priced at a spread of 2.27% over the 10-year US Treasury yield. The Bank incurred $1.8 million of costs directly related to the issuance of these capital notes. These costs have been capitalized directly against the carrying value of these notes on the balance sheet, and will be amortized over the life of the notes.

No interest was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the event the Bank would be in a position to redeem long-term debt, priority would go to the redemption of the higher interest-bearing Series, subject to availability relative to the earliest date the Series is redeemable at the Bank's option.

The following table presents the contractual maturity and interest payments for long-term debt issued by the Bank as at March 31, 2020. The interest payments are calculated until contractual maturity using the current London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rates.

Note 17: Earnings per share

Earnings per share have been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after deduction of the shares held as treasury stock. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation plans was calculated using the treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds received from the exercise of share-based awards are assumed to be used to repurchase outstanding shares, using the average market price of the Bank’s shares for the period. Numbers of shares are expressed in thousands.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, options to purchase an average of 0.2 million (March 31, 2019: 0.2 million) common shares were outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the average number of outstanding awards of unvested common shares was 0.8 million (March 31, 2019: 1.0 million). Only awards for which the sum of 1) the expense that will be recognized in the future (i.e., the unrecognized expense) and 2) its exercise price, if any, was lower than the average market price of the Bank‘s common shares were considered dilutive and, therefore, included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. An award's unrecognized expense is also considered to be the proceeds the employees would need to pay to purchase accelerated vesting of the awards. For purposes of calculating dilution, such proceeds are assumed to be used by the Bank to buy back common shares at the average market price. The weighted-average number of outstanding awards, net of the assumed weighted-average number of common shares bought back, is included in the number of diluted participating shares.

Note 18: Share-based payments

The common shares transferred to employees under all share-based payments are either taken from the Bank's common treasury shares or from newly issued shares. All share-based payments are settled by the ultimate parent company which, pursuant to Bermuda law, is not taxed on income. There are no income tax benefits in relation to the issue of such shares as a form of compensation.

In conjunction with the 2010 capital raise, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Omnibus Plan (the "2010 Plan"). Under the 2010 Plan, 5% of the Bank’s fully diluted common shares, equal to approximately 2.95 million shares, were initially available for grant to certain officers in the form of stock options or unvested shares awards. Both types of awards are detailed below. In 2012 and 2016, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the equivalent number of shares allowed to be granted under the 2010 Plan to 5.0 million and 7.5 million shares, respectively.

Stock Option Awards

1997 Stock Option Plan

Prior to the capital raise on March 2, 2010, the Bank granted stock options to employees and Directors of the Bank that entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a subscription price equal to the market price on the effective date of the grant. Generally, the options granted vest 25 percent at the end of each year for four years, however

as a result of the 2010 capital raise, the options granted under the Bank's 1997 Stock Option Plan to employees became fully vested and options awarded to certain executives were surrendered.

2010 Plan

Under the 2010 Plan, options are awarded to Bank employees and executive management, based on predetermined vesting conditions that entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a subscription price usually equal to the price of the most recently traded common share when granted and have a term of 10 years. The subscription price is reduced for all special dividends declared by the Bank. Stock option awards granted under the 2010 Plan vest based on two specific types of vesting conditions i.e., time and performance conditions, as detailed below:

Time vesting condition

50% of each option award was granted in the form of time vested options and vested 25% on each of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the effective grant date.

In addition to the time vesting conditions noted above, the options will generally vest immediately:

• by reason of the employee’s death or disability,

• upon termination, by the Bank, of the holder’s employment, unless if in relation with the holder’s misconduct, or

• in limited circumstances and specifically approved by the Board, as stipulated in the holder’s employment contract.

In the event of the employee’s resignation, any unvested portion of the awards shall generally be forfeited and any vested portion of the options shall generally remain exercisable during the 90-day period following the termination date or, if earlier, until the expiration date, and any vested portion of the options not exercised as of the expiration of such period shall be forfeited without any consideration therefore.

Performance vesting condition

50% of each option award was granted in the form of performance options and would vest (partially or fully) on a “valuation event” date (the date that any of the March 2, 2010 new investors transfers at least 5% of the total number of common shares or the date that there is a change in control and any of the new investors realize a predetermined multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”)). On September 21, 2016, it was determined that a valuation event occurred during which a new investor realized a MOIC of more than 200% of the original invested capital of $12.09 per share and accordingly, all outstanding unvested performance options vested.

Share Based Plans

Recipients of unvested share awards are entitled to the related common shares at no cost, at the time the award vests. Recipients of unvested shares may be entitled to receive additional unvested shares having a value equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid had the unvested shares been issued and vested. Such additional unvested shares granted as dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting schedule and conditions as the underlying unvested shares.

Unvested shares subject only to the time vesting condition generally vest upon retirement, death, disability or upon termination, by the Bank, of the holder’s employment unless if in connection with the holder’s misconduct. Unvested shares subject to both time vesting and performance vesting conditions remain outstanding and unvested upon retirement and will vest only if the performance conditions are met. Unvested shares can also vest in limited circumstances and if specifically approved by the Board, as stipulated in the holder’s employment contract. In all other circumstances, unvested shares are generally forfeited when employment ends.

The grant date weighted average fair value of unvested share awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $34.51 (December 31, 2019: $35.96). The Bank expects to settle these awards by issuing new shares.

Employee Deferred Incentive Plan (“EDIP”)

Under the Bank’s EDIP Plan, shares are awarded to Bank employees and executive management based on the time vesting condition, which states that the shares will vest equally over a three-year period from the effective grant date.

Executive Long-Term Incentive Share Plan (“ELTIP”) - Years 2013 - 2020

The 2020 ELTIP was approved on February 12, 2020. Under the Bank’s ELTIP plans for the years 2013 through 2020, performance shares as well as time-vested shares were awarded to executive management. The performance shares will generally vest upon the achievement of certain performance targets in the three-year period from the effective grant date. The time-vested shares will generally vest over the three-year period from the effective grant date.

Note 19: Share buy-back plans

The Bank initially introduced two share buy-back programs on May 1, 2012 as a means to improve shareholder liquidity and facilitate growth in share value. Each program was approved by the Board of Directors for a period of 12 months, in accordance with the regulations of the BSX. The BSX must be advised monthly of shares purchased pursuant to each program.

From time to time the Bank's associates, insiders and insiders' associates as defined by the BSX regulations may sell shares which may result in such shares being repurchased pursuant to each program, provided no more than any such person's pro-rata share of the listed securities is repurchased. Pursuant to the BSX regulations, all repurchases made by any issuer pursuant to a securities repurchase program must be made: (1) in the open market and not by private agreement; and (2) for a price not higher than the last independent trade for a round lot of the relevant class of securities.

Common Share Buy-Back Program

On February 15, 2018, the Board approved, with effect on April 1, 2018, the 2018 common share buy-back program, authorizing the purchase for treasury of up to 1.0 million common shares.

On December 6, 2018, the Board approved, with effect from December 10, 2018 to February 29, 2020, a common share buy-back program, authorizing the purchase for treasury of up to 2.5 million common shares.

On December 2, 2019, the Board approved a new $125 million common share repurchase program, authorizing the purchase for treasury of up to 3.5 million common shares through to February 28, 2021. The new program came into effect on December 20, 2019 following the completion of the previous program.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank repurchased and retired 1,295,000 shares.

Note 21: Capital structure

Authorized Capital

On September 16, 2016, the Bank began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "NTB". The offering of 12,234,042 common shares consisted of 5,957,447 newly issued common shares sold by Butterfield and 6,276,595 common shares sold by certain selling shareholders, including 1,595,744 common shares sold by certain of the selling shareholders pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full prior to the closing.

The par value of each issued common share and each authorized but unissued common share is BM$0.01 and the authorized share capital of the Bank comprises 2,000,000,000 common shares of par value BM$0.01 each, 6,000,000,000 non‑voting ordinary shares of par value BM$0.01 each, 110,200,001 preference shares of par value US$0.01 each and 50,000,000 preference shares of par value £0.01 each.

Dividends Declared

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank paid cash dividends of $0.44 (March 31, 2019: $0.44) for each common share as of the related record dates. On April 30, 2020, the Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of $0.44 per common share to be paid on May 28, 2020 to shareholders of record on May 14, 2020.

The Bank is required to comply with Section 54 of the Companies Act 1981 issued by the Government of Bermuda (the “Companies Act”) each time a dividend is declared or paid by the Bank and also obtain a letter of no objection from the BMA pursuant to the Banks and Deposit Companies Act 1999 for any dividends declared. The Bank has complied with Section 54 and has obtained the BMA's letter of no objection for all dividends declared during the periods presented.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank’s regulatory capital is determined in accordance with current Basel III guidelines as issued by the BMA. Basel III adopts Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") as the predominant form of regulatory capital with the CET1 ratio as a new metric. Basel III also adopts the new Leverage Ratio regime, which is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by an exposure measure. The Leverage Ratio Exposure Measure consists of total assets (excluding items deducted from Tier 1 capital) and certain off-balance sheet items converted into credit exposure equivalents as well as adjustments for derivatives to reflect credit risk and other risks.

The Bank is fully compliant with all regulatory capital requirements to which it is subject, and it maintains capital ratios in excess of regulatory minimums as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The following table sets forth the Bank's capital adequacy in accordance with the Basel III framework:

ABN AMRO (Channel Islands) Limited Acquisition

On April 25, 2019, the Bank announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of ABN AMRO (Channel Islands) Limited (“ABN AMRO Channel Islands”), the Channel Islands-based banking subsidiary of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. via one of the Bank's subsidiaries, Butterfield Bank (Guernsey) Limited. ABN AMRO Channel Islands offers banking, investment management and custody products to three distinct client groups, including trusts, private clients, and funds.

This agreement is part of the Bank's strategy to grow through acquisitions in offshore markets where the Bank already has scale and expertise in order to create an organization with a widened and diversified offering.

On July 15, 2019, the transaction completed as planned and the aggregate purchase price of £160.7 million ($201.1 million) was paid in cash. During 2020, it is expected that ABN AMRO Channel Islands' business and employees will be integrated with the existing Butterfield Guernsey operations and operate under the Butterfield name. In addition to the figures noted below, on July 15, 2019, ABN AMRO Channel Islands had estimated clients' assets under management and custody of $4.7 billion.

The fair value of the net assets acquired and allocation of purchase price is summarized as follows:

As at July 15, 2019
Total consideration transferred 201,107
Assets acquired
Cash due from banks 3,016,859
Loans 654,503
Intangible assets - Customer relationships 24,371
Other assets 31,674
Total assets acquired 3,727,407
Liabilities assumed
Deposits (3,493,239 )
Other liabilities (33,061 )
Total liabilities assumed (3,526,300 )
Excess purchase price (Goodwill)

The acquired customer relationships intangible assets have an estimated finite useful life of 15 years.

The Bank incurred legal and professional transaction expenses related to this acquisition in the amount of $5.4 million all of which were incurred and expensed during the year ended December 31, 2019.

For the period beginning on July 15, 2019 (i.e. acquisition date) to December 31, 2019, the amount of revenues and earnings relating to the acquired ABN AMRO Channel Islands operations that were not inextricably merged into the Bank’s operations were $13.7 million and a net income of $1.5 million respectively.

Appendix Commentary on Factors Influencing COVID-19 Implications The short- and medium/long-term implications of the pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations will depend on factors such as, but not limited to the following: • The duration and scope of the pandemic and related economic fallout • The pace and magnitude of the economic recovery in the jurisdictions in which we operate • The interest rate environment • The time it takes for tourism in Bermuda and Cayman to recover • Increased unemployment and decreased business in the jurisdictions in which we operate • Ratings downgrades, credit deterioration and defaults in many industries, including the hotel/restaurants/hospitality sector and commercial real estate • A decrease in the rates and yields on US Government guaranteed securities, which may lead to a decrease in the quality of our investment portfolio • Significant draws in credit lines, as customers and clients seek to increase liquidity • Volatility of market conditions and increased demands on capital and liquidity, leading the Bank to cease repurchases of its common shares • A reduction in the value of the assets under administration for the trust and custody businesses, which may affect related fee income and/or demand for these services • Heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks as a result of remote working arrangements implemented for staff • Actions that have been, or may be taken in the future, by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, such as a suspension of mortgage and other loan payments and foreclosures • Heightened risk of litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny as a result of the effects of COVID-19 on market and economic conditions and actions governmental authorities take in response to those conditions 23

BUTTERFIELD ANNOUNCES BOARD CHANGES

Hamilton, Bermuda - April 30, 2020: The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited (“Butterfield”) (NYSE: NTB | BSX: NTB.BH) today announced that Independent Directors Caroline Foulger and Meroe Park have retired from the Board and will not stand for re-election at the Bank’s upcoming Annual General Meeting. Butterfield also announced that its Group Chief Financial Officer, Michael Schrum, has joined the Board as an Executive Director.

A former Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers Bermuda, Ms. Foulger joined the Board as an Independent Director in 2013, and most recently served on the Board’s Audit Committee. After seven years on the Board, she has decided to commit her time to other non-executive roles. Ms. Foulger is a Fellow or Member of several professional bodies, including the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, Institute of Chartered Professional Accountants of Bermuda, and the Institute of Directors, and holds directorship positions with several listed and private companies.

Ms. Park, who was Executive Director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency prior to joining Butterfield’s Board as an Independent Director in 2017, most recently served on the Board’s Risk Policy & Compliance and Compensation & Human Resources Committees. In December 2019, Ms. Park was appointed to the full time role of Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, a position which does not afford her the opportunity to continue to serve as a Butterfield Director.

Mr. Schrum has served as the Bank’s Group Chief Financial Officer since September 2015. He was previously Chief Financial Officer at HSBC Bank Bermuda. He has more than 20 years of financial services experience in London, New York and Bermuda, mainly in banking, insurance and tax. He joined HSBC in Bermuda in 2001 and held progressively senior positions within the bank’s commercial banking, strategy, and finance divisions. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst and a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and also holds a Master’s degree (University of London) in Economics. He is a Director of Ascendant Group Limited, Chairman of the Bermuda Foundation, and serves as Bermuda’s Honorary Consul for Denmark.

Michael Collins, Butterfield’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “I would like to thank Caroline and Meroe for their many contributions to Butterfield’s Board during their tenure.

“Caroline served on the Board during an important time of change for the Bank, helping oversee the post-financial crisis rebuilding of the balance sheet, and our transition from private equity control to being an independent, widely-held NYSE-listed company. Her insight, dedication and counsel at the Board were invaluable during that transition.

“Meroe joined us following our initial public offering in the US and, with her leadership background and cyber security knowledge, helped us put a renewed focus on many personnel and technology-related aspects of the Bank’s businesses. She provided valuable input and oversight regarding Butterfield’s 2018/19 Deutsche Bank and ABN AMRO acquisitions, which transformed our global trust operations and our banking footprint in the Channel Islands.


“As Group CFO, Michael has worked closely with our Directors over the years, and on their behalf, I welcome him to the Board, where I know our deliberations will be enhanced by his robust experience in banking and thorough knowledge of Butterfield’s operations around the world.”
