the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals when expected or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the pending merger with Bancorp Financial);
the failure of Bancorp Financial to obtain stockholder approval, or the failure of either company to satisfy any of the other closing conditions to the transaction on a timely basis or at all;
--- ---
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement;
--- ---
the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the pending merger, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy, competitive factors in the areas where Old Second and Bancorp Financial do business, or as a result of other unexpected factors or events;
--- ---
the impact of purchase accounting with respect to the merger with Bancorp Financial, or any change in the assumptions used regarding the assets purchased and liabilities assumed to determine their fair value;

--- ---
each of the factors and risks under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent filings we make with the SEC.
--- ---

Because the Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, there can be no assurances that future actual results will correspond to any forward-looking statements and you should not rely on any forward-looking statements. Additionally, all statements in this Form 10-Q, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events, except as required by applicable law.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data, unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial information. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the interim period presented. Results for the period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in Old Second Bancorp, Inc.’s (the “Company”) annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts in the tables contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Future changes in information may affect these estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which, in turn, may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that have impacted or could potentially affect the Company**:**

ASU 2023-06 – On October 9, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” The amendments in the ASU modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, the current requirements. Each amendment in the ASU will only become effective if the SEC removes the related disclosure or presentation requirement from its existing regulations by June 30, 2027. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

ASU 2023-09 – On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the following information about income taxes paid: (1) The amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, and (2) The amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments also require that all entities disclose the following information: (1) Income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (2) Income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is required to adopt the expanded disclosure requirements of this ASU in its annual financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and does not expect the amendments to have a material impact to the financial statements of the Company.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data, unaudited)

ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 – On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. Specifically, they will be required to: (1) Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. (2) Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements.

Note 2 – Acquisition

Completed Acquisitions

On December 6, 2024, the Company completed its purchase of five Illinois branch locations in the southeast Chicago metropolitan statistical area from First Merchants Bank (“FRME”), the wholly owned subsidiary of First Merchants Corporation.  This acquisition brought increased scale as the Company expanded its current branch network in the Chicago market.  At closing, the Company recorded $24.8 million of assets, including $7.1 million of loans and $3.9 million of premises and equipment, and $268.0 million of deposits, net of fair value adjustments.

The Company recorded the estimate of fair value based on initial valuations available at December 6, 2024. Estimated fair values are subject to adjustment for up to one year after December 6, 2024. Based on current valuations, $13.3 million of core deposit intangible was recorded. Goodwill of $6.8 million was ultimately recorded from the branch purchase transaction. None of the $6.8 million of goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table provides the purchase price allocation as of the December 6, 2024, branch purchase transaction with FRME, including the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of that date, as recorded by the Company.

First Merchants Transaction Summary
As of Date of Transaction
December 6, 2024
Assets

Other liabilities 585
Total liabilities 268,552
Cash consideration received (237,023)
Total liabilities assumed and cash consideration received for transaction $ 31,529
Goodwill $ 6,754

Expenses related to the FRME branch transaction totaled $168,000 and $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The expenses related to the transaction are reported within noninterest expense based on the line items impacted, which are primarily salaries and employee benefits, computer and data processing, legal fees, and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

All acquired loans are considered non-PCD as none of the loans met the definition of a purchase credit deteriorated loan.

Note 3 – Securities

Investment Portfolio Management

Our investment portfolio serves the liquidity needs and income objectives of the Company. While the portfolio serves as an important component of the overall liquidity management at the Bank, portions of the portfolio also serve as income producing assets. The size and composition of the portfolio reflects liquidity needs, loan demand and interest income objectives. Portfolio size and composition will be adjusted from time to time. While a significant portion of the portfolio consists of readily marketable securities to address liquidity, other parts of the portfolio may reflect funds invested pending future loan demand or to maximize interest income without undue interest rate risk.

Investments are comprised of debt securities and non-marketable equity investments. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available-for-sale are reported as a separate component of equity. This balance sheet component changes as interest rates and market conditions change. Unrealized gains and losses are not included in the calculation of regulatory capital.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLBC”) and Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“FRBC”) stock are considered nonmarketable equity investments. FHLBC stock was recorded at $4.5 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. FRBC stock was recorded at $14.9 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Our FHLBC stock is necessary to maintain access to FHLBC advances.

Each quarter, we perform an analysis to determine if any of the unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale are comprised of credit losses as compared to unrealized losses due to market interest rate adjustments. Our assessment includes a review of the unrealized loss for each security issuance held; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including external credit ratings and recent downgrades; and our ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value. We also consider the extent to which the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, and any guarantee of issued amounts by those agencies. The portfolio continues to consist of a mix of fixed and floating-rate, high quality securities, largely rated AA (or better), displaying an overall effective duration of approximately 3.0 years. No credit losses were determined to be present as of March 31, 2025, as there was no credit quality deterioration noted. Therefore, no provision for credit losses on securities was recognized for the first quarter of 2025.

The following table presents net realized gains on securities available-for-sale for three months ended:

^1^ The “Other” segment includes consumer loans and overdrafts in this table and in subsequent tables within Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.

^2^ Excludes accrued interest receivable of $ 17.9 million and $ 17.5 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, that is recorded in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

It is the policy of the Company to review each prospective credit prior to making a loan in order to determine if an adequate level of security or collateral has been obtained. The type of collateral, when required, will vary from liquid assets to real estate. The Company seeks to ensure access to collateral, in the event of borrower default, through adherence to lending laws, the Company’s lending standards and credit monitoring procedures. Although the Bank makes loans primarily within its market area, there are no significant concentrations of loans where the customers’ ability to honor loan terms is dependent upon a single economic sector. The real estate related categories listed above represent 68.2% and 67.2% of the portfolio at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and include a mix of owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, residential, construction and multifamily loans.

Total $ 44,264 $ 3,544 $ 3,988 $ 293 $ 44,113

^1^ Amount does not include the provision for unfunded commitment liability.

At March 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans totaled $41.6 million, and our ACL on unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities, totaled $2.0 million. During the first three months of 2025, we recorded net provision for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments of $2.4 million based on historical loss rate updates driven by higher charge-offs in the commercial portfolio, a slight downward change to the economic forecast, the downgrade of a couple of credits, and our assessment of estimated future credit losses. The $3.4 million commercial loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2025 are specific to two credits within a single relationship. The ACL on loans excludes an allowance for unfunded commitments of $2.0 million as of March 31, 2025, $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024, and $2.7 million as of March 31, 2024, which is recorded within other liabilities.

Generally, the Bank considers a loan to be collateral dependent when, based on current information and events, it is probable that foreclosure could be initiated. Additionally, the Bank will review all loans meeting the criteria for individual analysis, to determine if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is expected through the sale of collateral. This will generally be the case for credits with high loan-to-values. Exceptions to this policy would include loans with guarantors or sponsors that have the means and willingness to support the obligation. Non-accruing loans with an outstanding balance of $500,000 or more are assessed on an individual loan level basis. When a financial asset is deemed collateral-dependent, the level of credit loss is measured by the difference between amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value of collateral adjusted for estimated cost to sell. The Company had $30.8 million and $26.2 million of collateral dependent loans secured by real estate or business assets as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into credit risk categories based on current financial information, overall debt service coverage, comparison to industry averages, historical payment experience, and current economic trends. This analysis includes loans with outstanding balances or commitments greater than $50,000 and excludes homogeneous loans such as home equity lines of credit and residential mortgages. Loans with a classified risk rating are reviewed quarterly regardless of size or loan type. The Company uses the following definitions for classified risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The substandard credit quality indicator includes both potential problem loans that are currently performing and nonperforming loans.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Credits that are not covered by the definitions above are pass credits, which are not considered to be adversely rated.

^1^See Note 8: Junior Subordinated Debentures.

The Company enters into deposit sweep transactions where the transaction amounts are secured by pledged securities. These transactions consistently mature overnight from the transaction date and are governed by sweep repurchase agreements. All sweep repurchase agreements are treated as financings secured by U.S. government agencies and collateralized mortgage-backed securities, and had a carrying amount of $38.7 million at March 31, 2025, and $36.7 million at December 31, 2024. The fair value of the pledged collateral was $73.9 million at March 31, 2025, and $73.6 million at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, there were no customers with secured balances exceeding 10% of stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s borrowings at the FHLBC require the Bank to be a member and invest in the stock of the FHLBC. Total borrowings are generally limited to the lower of 35% of total assets or 60% of the book value of certain mortgage loans. There were no outstanding short-term FHLBC advances as of March 31, 2025, and the outstanding balance of our short-term FHLBC borrowings was $20.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The large decrease in short-term FHLB advances is due to an influx of cash resulting from the acquisition of the five FRME branches on December 6, 2024, which allowed us to utilize the purchased deposits for lower cost funding. FHLBC stock held at March 31, 2025, was valued at $4.5 million, and any potential FHLBC advances were collateralized by loans and securities with a principal balance of $1.40 billion, which carried a FHLBC-calculated combined collateral value of $929.8 million. The Company had excess collateral of $928.6 million available to secure borrowings at March 31, 2025.

In the second quarter of 2021, we issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2031 (the “Notes”). The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.50%, from and including the date of issuance to but excluding April 15, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including April 15, 2026, to, but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to three-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (as defined by the Note) plus 273 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had $59.5 million of subordinated debentures outstanding, net of deferred issuance cost.

The Company also has an undrawn line of credit of $30.0 million with a correspondent bank to be used for short-term funding needs; advances under this line can be outstanding up to 360 days from the date of issuance. This line of credit has not been utilized since early 2019.

Note 8 – Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company issued $25.0 million of cumulative trust preferred securities through a private placement completed by an unconsolidated subsidiary, Old Second Capital Trust II, in April 2007. These trust preferred securities mature in 30 years, but subject to regulatory approval, can be called in whole or in part on a quarterly basis commencing June 15, 2017. The quarterly cash distributions on the securities were fixed at 6.77% through June 15, 2017, and now have a floating rate of 150 basis points over three-month SOFR. Upon conversion to a floating rate, a cash flow hedge was initiated which resulted in the total interest rate paid on the debt of 4.53% and 4.37% for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Company issued a $25.8 million subordinated debenture to Old Second Capital Trust II in return for the aggregate net proceeds of this trust preferred offering. The interest rate and payment frequency on the debenture are equivalent to the cash distribution basis on the trust preferred securities.

The junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company are disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related interest expense for each issuance is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the junior subordinated debentures were less than $1,000 and are included as a reduction to the balance of the junior subordinated debentures on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining deferred issuance costs on the junior subordinated debentures related to the issuance of Old Second Capital Trust II will be amortized to interest expense over the remainder of the 30-year term of the notes and are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 9 – Equity Compensation Plans

Stock-based awards are outstanding under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan was originally approved at the May 2019 annual stockholders’ meeting and authorized 600,000 shares, and at the May 2021 annual stockholders’ meeting, the Company obtained stockholder approval to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan by 1,200,000 shares, from 600,000 shares to 1,800,000 shares. Following the approval of the 2019 Plan, no further awards will be granted under any other prior plan.

The 2019 Plan authorizes the granting of qualified stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), to date only restricted stock units have been awarded. Awards may be granted to selected directors, officers, employees or eligible service providers under the 2019 Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2025, 556,714 shares remained available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The Company has granted only restricted stock units under the 2019 Equity Plan.

Generally, restricted stock units granted under the 2019 Plan vest three years from the grant date, but the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has discretionary authority to change the terms of particular awards including the vesting schedule.

Under the 2019 Plan, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, upon the occurrence of a change in control, all equity awards then held by the participant will become fully exercisable immediately if, and all stock awards and cash incentive awards will become fully earned and vested immediately if, (i) the 2019 Plan is not an obligation of the successor entity following a change in control or (ii) the 2019 Plan is an obligation of the successor entity following a change in control and the participant incurs a termination of service without cause or for good reason following the change in control. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the vesting of an award is conditioned upon the achievement of performance measures, then such vesting will generally be subject to the following: if, at the time of the change in control, the performance measures are less than 50% attained (pro rata based upon the time of the period through the change in control), the award will become vested and exercisable on a fractional basis with the numerator being equal to the percentage of attainment and the denominator being 50%; and if, at the time of the change in control, the performance measures are at least 50% attained (pro rata based upon the time of the period through the change in control), the award will become fully earned and vested immediately upon the change in control.

Awards of restricted stock under the 2019 Plan generally entitle holders to voting and dividend rights upon grant and are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed including employment for a specific period. Awards of restricted stock units under the 2019 Plan are also subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed including employment for a specific period, but do not entitle holders to voting rights until the restricted period ends and shares are transferred in connection with the units.

There were 267,805 and 338,235 restricted stock units issued under the 2019 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the restricted stock units based on the market value of the award on the issue date. Total compensation cost that has been recorded for the 2019 Plan was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

A summary of changes in the Company’s unvested restricted awards for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is as follows:

March 31, 2025

Note 11Regulatory & Capital Matters

The Bank is subject to the risk-based capital regulatory guidelines, which include the methodology for calculating the risk-weighted Bank assets, developed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) and the other bank regulatory agencies. In connection with the current risk-based capital regulatory guidelines, the Bank’s Board of Directors has established an internal guideline requiring the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at or above eight percent (8%) and a total risk-based capital ratio at or above twelve percent (12%). At March 31, 2025, the Bank exceeded those thresholds.

At March 31, 2025, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital leverage ratio was 11.27%, an increase of 37 basis points from December 31, 2024, and is above the 8.00% Board of Directors’ guideline. The Bank’s total capital ratio was 14.58%, an increase of 76 basis points from December 31, 2024, and also above the Board of Directors’ guideline of 12.00%.

Bank holding companies are generally required to maintain minimum levels of capital in accordance with capital guidelines implemented by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The general bank and holding company capital adequacy guidelines are shown in the accompanying table, as are the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank, as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

The Basel III Rules are applicable to all banking organizations that are subject to minimum capital requirements, including federal and state banks and savings and loan associations, as well as to bank and savings and loan holding companies, other than “small bank holding companies,” which are generally holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3.0 billion. A detailed discussion of the Basel III Rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, under the heading “Supervision and Regulation.”

At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company, on a consolidated basis, exceeded the minimum thresholds to be considered “well capitalized” under current regulatory defined capital ratios.

^1^Amounts are shown inclusive of a capital conservation buffer of 2.50%.

^2^ The prompt corrective action provisions are only applicable at the Bank level. The Bank exceeded the general minimum regulatory requirements to be considered “well capitalized.”

As part of its response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the first quarter of 2020, U.S. federal regulatory authorities issued an interim final rule that provided banking organizations that adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology during the 2020 calendar year with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay (i.e., a five-year transition in total). In connection with our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we elected to utilize the five-year CECL transition. As of January 1, 2025, the five-year CECL transition is complete. As of March 31, 2025, the above capital measures of the Company no longer include a modified CECL transition adjustment.

Dividend Restrictions

In addition to the above requirements, banking regulations and capital guidelines generally limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by a bank without prior regulatory approval. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s profits, combined with the retained profit of the previous two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank had capacity to pay dividends of $94.0 million to the Company without prior regulatory approval. Pursuant to the Basel III rules, the Bank must keep a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% above the regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of Common Equity Tier 1 capital in order to avoid additional limitations on capital distributions and certain other payments.

Note 12Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as 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 fair value hierarchy established by the Company also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:

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 observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

There were no transfers between levels during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.

The majority of securities available-for-sale are valued by external pricing services or dealer market participants and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Both market and income valuation approaches are utilized. Quarterly, the Company evaluates the methodologies used by the external pricing services or dealer market participants to develop the fair values to determine whether the results of the valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal markets and an appropriate representation of fair value. The Company uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Government-sponsored agency debt securities are primarily priced using available market information through processes such as benchmark spreads, market valuations of like securities, like securities groupings and matrix pricing.
Other government-sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and some of the actively traded real estate mortgage investment conduits and collateralized mortgage obligations are priced using available market information including benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, spreads, volatility of similar securities and trade date.
--- ---
State and political subdivisions are largely grouped by characteristics (e.g., geographical data and source of revenue in trade dissemination systems). Because some securities are not traded daily and due to other grouping limitations, active market quotes are often obtained using benchmarking for like securities.
--- ---
Auction rate securities are priced using market spreads, cash flows, prepayment speeds, and loss analytics. Therefore, the valuations of auction rate asset-backed securities are considered Level 2 valuations.
--- ---
Asset-backed collateralized loan obligations were priced using data from a pricing matrix supported by our bond accounting service provider and are therefore considered Level 2 valuations.
--- ---
Annually every security holding is priced by a pricing service independent of the regular and recurring pricing services used. The independent service provides a measurement to indicate if the price assigned by the regular service is within or outside of a reasonable range. Management reviews this report and applies judgment in adjusting calculations at year end related to securities pricing.
--- ---
Residential mortgage loans available for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair market value. The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices.

Lending related commitments to fund certain residential mortgage loans, e.g., residential mortgage loans with locked interest rates to be sold in the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors, as well as forward commitments for future delivery of MBS, are considered derivatives. Fair values are estimated based on observable changes in mortgage interest rates including prices for MBS from the date of the commitment and do not typically involve significant judgments by management.
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income to derive the resultant value. The Company is able to compare the valuation model inputs, such as the discount rate, prepayment speeds, weighted average delinquency and foreclosure/bankruptcy rates to widely available published industry data for reasonableness.
--- ---
Interest rate swap positions, both assets and liabilities, are based on valuation pricing models using an income approach reflecting readily observable market parameters such as interest rate yield curves.
--- ---
The fair value of individually evaluated loans with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses is essentially based on recent real estate appraisals or the fair value of the collateralized asset. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to reflect differences between the available comparable sales and income data. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
--- ---
Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification, or an executed pending sales contract. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, a valuation loss is recognized.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These assets consist of individually evaluated loans and OREO. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each valuation and the carrying value of the related assets:

Total $ - $ - $ 28,287 $ 28,287

^1^ Represents carrying value and related write-downs of loans for which adjustments are substantially based on the appraised value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans, which had a carrying amount of $30.8 million and a valuation allowance of $5.3 million, resulting in a decrease of specific allocations within the allowance for credit losses on loans of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

^2^ OREO is measured at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, and had a net carrying amount of $2.9 million at March 31, 2025, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $3.7 million, net of a valuation allowance of $853,000.

^1^ Represents carrying value and related write-downs of loans for which adjustments are substantially based on the appraised value of

collateral for collateral-dependent loans and to a lesser extent the discounted cash flow, which had a carrying amount of $26.2 million and a valuation allowance of $7.2 million, resulting in a decrease of specific allocations within the allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.9 million for the year December 31, 2024.

^2^ OREO is measured at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, and had a net carrying amount of $21.6 million at December 31, 2024, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $23.5 million, net of a valuation allowance of $1.9 million.

The Company has estimated the fair values of these assets based primarily on Level 3 inputs. OREO and individually evaluated loans are generally valued using the fair value of collateral provided by third party appraisals. These valuations include assumptions related to cash flow projections, discount rates, and recent comparable sales. The numerical ranges of unobservable inputs for these valuation assumptions are not meaningful.

Note 13 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values approximate carrying amount for all items except those described in the following table. Securities available-for-sale fair values are based upon market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security. The carrying value of FHLBC stock approximates fair value as the stock is nonmarketable and can only be sold to the FHLBC or another member institution at par. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the fair values of loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors. The fair value of time deposits was estimated using discounted future cash flows at current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair values of borrowings were estimated based on interest rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of off-balance sheet volume was not considered material.

Note 14 – Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s loan portfolio.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The amount included in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to current earnings should all or a portion of the hedge no longer be considered effective. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income or interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are received on the variable rate loan pools or paid on the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data, unaudited)

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $200.0 million as of March 31, 2025, and $300.0 million as of December 31, 2024, were designated as cash flow hedges of certain variable rate commercial and commercial real estate loan pools. Each of these hedges were executed to pay variable and receive fixed rate cash flows. Each of these hedges was determined to be effective during all periods presented and the Company expects the hedges to remain effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.

An interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25.8 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is designated as a cash flow hedge of junior subordinated debentures and was executed to pay fixed and receive variable rate cash flows. The hedge was determined to be effective during all periods presented and the Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining terms of the swap.

During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $929,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest income and an additional $354,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps and rate cap agreements with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The notional amounts of interest rate swaps with its loan customers as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 were $120.5 million and $121.2 million, respectively. The notional amounts of interest rate cap agreements with its loan customers were $32.9 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Those interest rate swaps and rate cap agreements are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $2.3 million of cash collateral pledged with two correspondent financial institutions. The Company held $4.3 million and $5.2 million of cash pledged from one correspondent financial institution to support the interest rate swap activity during the periods presented, respectively. No investment securities were required to be pledged to any correspondent financial institution during 2025 through March 31, 2025, or during 2024. The Company offsets derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting arrangement.

The Company also grants mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments to borrowers, subject to normal loan underwriting standards. The interest rate risk associated with these loan interest rate lock commitments is managed with contracts for future deliveries of loans as well as selling forward mortgage-backed securities contracts. Loan interest rate lock commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require 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 notional amount of these commitments at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $15.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans or forward MBS contracts are considered derivative instruments and changes in the fair value are recorded to mortgage banking revenue. Fair values are estimated based on observable changes in mortgage interest rates including mortgage-backed securities prices from the date of the commitment.

Disclosure of the Effect of Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedge Accounting

The fair value and cash flow hedge accounting related to derivatives covered under ASC Subtopic 815-20 impacted Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and the Income Statement. The gain recognized in AOCI on derivatives totaled $1.6 million as of March 31, 2025, and the loss recognized in AOCI totaled $2.1 million as of March 31, 2024. The amount of the loss reclassified from AOCI to net interest income on the Income Statement was $579,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

For derivative transactions involving counterparties who are lending customers of the Company, the derivative credit exposure is managed through the normal credit review and monitoring process, which may include collateralization, financial covenants and/or financial guarantees of affiliated parties. Agreements with such customers require that losses associated with derivative transactions receive payment priority from any funds recovered should a customer default and ultimate disposition of collateral or guarantees occur.

Credit exposure to broker/dealer counterparties is managed through agreements with each derivative counterparty that require collateralization of fair value gains owed by such counterparties. Some small degree of credit exposure exists due to timing differences between when a gain may occur and the subsequent point in time that collateral is delivered to secure that gain. This is monitored by the Company and procedures are in place to minimize this exposure. Such agreements also require the Company to collateralize counterparties in circumstances wherein the fair value of the derivatives result in loss to the Company. 39

Other provisions of such agreements include the definition of certain events that may lead to the declaration of default and/or the early termination of the derivative transaction(s):

If the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness (exclusive of deposit obligations), then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
If a merger occurs that materially changes the Company's creditworthiness in an adverse manner.
--- ---
If certain specified adverse regulatory actions occur, such as the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order, or citations for actions considered Unsafe and Unsound or that may lead to the termination of deposit insurance coverage by the FDIC.
--- ---

The Bank also issues letters of credit, which are conditional commitments that guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved and collateral obtained in issuing letters of credit are essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to our customers. In addition to customer related commitments, the Company is responsible for letters of credit commitments that relate to properties held in OREO. The following table represents the Company’s contractual commitments due to letters of credit as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

The following table is a summary of letter of credit commitments:

Unused loan commitments: $ 148,686 $ 612,605 $ 761,291 $ 163,282 $ 616,533 $ 779,815

As of March 31, 2025, the Company evaluated current market conditions, including any impacts related to market interest rate changes and unused line of credit utilization trends during the first quarter of 2025, and based on that analysis under the CECL methodology, the Company determined credit losses related to unfunded commitments totaled $2.0 million. The resultant increase in the ACL for unfunded commitments of $115,000 for the first quarter of 2025 from $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by adjustments to historical benchmark assumptions, such as the funding rates and the period used to forecast those rates within the ACL calculation. The Company will continue to assess the credit risk at least quarterly, and adjust the allowance for unfunded commitments, which is carried within other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as needed, with the appropriate offsetting entry to the provision for credit losses on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 15 – Segment Information

Various identifiable operating segments provide a variety of revenue streams including loans, deposits, and wealth management services. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief Financial Officer.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Old Second National Bank, we offer a wide variety of community banking services primarily throughout the Chicagoland area, including commercial and consumer lending and deposit services, and a wide array of wealth management services. The accounting policies for the services discussed here are the same as those described in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  We earn interest income on portfolio loans, fee income on loan originations and commitments, fees charged on certain deposit accounts, as well as fees related to wealth management services.

Although information is available on each of the individual revenue streams, the CODM manages, allocates resources, and evaluates performance on a company-wide basis. The CODM uses consolidated net income to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s business along with budget to actual results in assessing the Company’s performance and in determining the allocation of resources whether it be to reinvest in the Company or deploy capital in order to maximize shareholder value. The CODM uses consolidated net income and return on average assets to benchmark the Company against competitors as well as against prior periods.

On a regular basis the CODM is provided consolidated income and expense, assets, liabilities, and equity, in the same manner that is presented publicly on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets, to assess performance and allocate resources throughout the Company. Further, additional internal financial information is provided to the CODM in order to assess credit quality in each of our lending segments. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has only one reportable segment, Community Banking.

Business Overview

The Company is a bank holding company headquartered in Aurora, Illinois. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Old Second National Bank, a national banking organization also headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, we offer a wide range of financial services through our 53 banking centers located in Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle and Will counties in Illinois. These banking centers offer access to a full range of traditional retail and commercial banking services including treasury management operations as well as fiduciary and wealth management services. We focus our business on establishing and maintaining relationships with our clients while maintaining a commitment to provide for the financial services needs of the communities in which we operate. We emphasize relationships with individual customers as well as small to medium-sized businesses throughout our market area. We also have extensive wealth management services, which includes a registered investment advisory platform in addition to trust administration and trust services related to personal and corporate trusts and employee benefit plan administration services.

On December 6, 2024, we completed our branch transaction with First Merchants Bank (“FRME”). Under the terms of the purchase and assumption agreement, we assumed approximately $268.0 million in deposits related to the branch locations acquired and purchased approximately $7.1 million in branch-related loans along with other branch-related assets. The five branches acquired in the transaction are located in Cook and DuPage counties in Illinois as part the branch purchase agreement.

On February 24, 2025, Old Second and Bancorp Financial, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”).  The merger agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bancorp Financial will merge with and into Old Second, with Old Second continuing as the surviving entity (the “merger”).  Immediately following the merger, Evergreen Bank Group (“Evergreen Bank”), an Illinois state-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp Financial, will merge with and into Old Second National Bank, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Second, with Old Second National Bank continuing as the surviving bank (the “bank merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each Bancorp Financial stockholder will receive 2.5814 shares of Old Second common stock and $15.93 in cash for each share of Bancorp Financial common stock owned by the stockholder.  Holders of Bancorp Financial common stock, subject to certain exceptions, will also be entitled to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Old Second common stock.

The parties expect to complete the merger in the third quarter of 2025, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, including receipt of customary required regulatory approvals and the approval of the merger agreement by the Bancorp Financial stockholders.

Table of Contents ​

Our results of operations depend generally on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. In addition, we are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or at different speeds, than our interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by noninterest income, such as service charges, wealth management fees, loan fees, gains from the sale of newly originated loans, gains or losses on investments and certain other noninterest related items. Our principal operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy costs, professional fees, data processing expenses and provision for credit losses.

We are significantly impacted by prevailing economic conditions, including federal monetary and fiscal policies, and federal regulations of financial institutions. Deposit balances are influenced by numerous factors such as competing investments, the level of income and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Factors influencing lending activities include the demand for housing and the interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions.

As of March 31, 2025, all of our capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by credit losses.

Financial Overview

Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $19.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $19.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $21.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. The reduction in net income compared to the prior year like period was primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense of $6.3 million and a $300,000 decrease in noninterest income. Partially offsetting these negative impacts on net income in the first quarter of 2025 was an increase in net interest and dividend income of $3.1 million year over year driven by a $2.9 million decrease to interest expense primarily due to lower short-term borrowing expense, a $235,000 increase in interest and dividend income, a $1.1 million decrease in provision for credit losses, and an $861,000 decrease in provision for income taxes. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes mortgage servicing rights mark to market activity and certain nonrecurring items, as applicable, was $20.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $20.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2024.

See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 45, as well as the table below, which provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalents.

The following provides an overview of some of the factors impacting our financial performance for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to the like period ended March 31, 2024:

Net interest and dividend income was $62.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $59.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest and dividend income in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher securities and loan yields and lower other short-term borrowing costs, partially offset by higher deposit costs.

Table of Contents ​

We recorded a net provision for credit losses of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by quarterly net charge-offs of $4.4 million, as well as an increase in select qualitative factors primarily driven by recent global tariff volatility and a slight uptick in the macro-economic unemployment assumptions used for forecast. Further, we recorded a $115,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments in the first quarter of 2025 based on an adjustment of historical benchmark assumptions, such as funding rates and the period used to forecast those rates, within the ACL calculation. We recorded a net provision for credit losses of $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest income was $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. Contributing to the lower noninterest income was a $499,000 decrease in mortgage banking revenue driven by mark to market losses on mortgage servicing rights as well as a $674,000 decrease in the quarterly adjustment to the cash surrender value of BOLI (which includes COLI) due to market changes in the underlying assets of our COLI investments in the first quarter of 2025. These decreases were partially offset by a $528,000 increase in wealth management income and a $304,000 increase in service charges on deposits.

Noninterest expense was $44.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $6.3 million, or 16.4%. Contributing to the increase in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2025 was higher salaries and employee benefits as well as increases in occupancy, furniture and equipment, amortization of core deposit intangibles, legal fees, and OREO related expenses.

We had a provision for income tax expense of $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to a provision for income tax expense of $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for these two periods was 24.3% and 25.3%, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, we experienced a decrease of $41.1 million in total loans compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, and a decrease of $29.2 million in total loans compared to March 31, 2024. We believe we can still achieve single digit loan growth in 2025 despite a softer outlook in business and trading activities. We continue to seek to provide value to our customers and the communities in which we operate, by executing on growth opportunities in our local markets and developing new banking relationships, while seeking to ensure the safety and soundness of our Bank, our customers, and our employees.

Nonaccrual loans increased $4.5 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, and decreased $30.9 million compared to March 31, 2024. The increase in nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, was primarily due to inflows of $11.7 million on fifteen loans, consisting primarily of seven commercial loans totaling $10.2 million. The inflows are partially offset by $4.4 million of net charge-offs year to date, as well as $1.7 million of paid off nonaccrual loans, and $1.0 million reduction of principal. The decrease in nonaccrual loans year over year is due to various charge-offs, larger transfers to OREO in late 2024 which were sold in the first quarter of 2025, and an increase in paid off loans over the last twelve months, primarily related to the CRE-Investor portfolio, the majority of which are office and healthcare loans. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans was 0.9% as of March 31, 2025, compared to 0.8% as of December 31, 2024, and 1.6% as of March 31, 2024. Classified assets decreased to $88.4 million as of March 31, 2025, which is $25.7 million, or 22.5%, less than December 31, 2024, and $52.2 million, or 37.1%, less than March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains references to financial measures that are not defined in GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a tax equivalent (“TE”) basis, adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, our adjusted efficiency ratio, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures (a) provides important supplemental information that contributes to a proper understanding of our operating performance, (b) enables a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business, and (c) allows investors to evaluate our performance in a manner similar to management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts, and bank regulators. Management uses non-GAAP measures as follows: in the preparation of our operating budgets, monthly financial performance reporting, and in our presentation of our performance to investors. However, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These measures should not be considered an alternative to our GAAP results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below or alongside the first instance where each non-GAAP financial measure is used.

Overview

Three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

Our income before taxes was $26.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $28.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. This decrease in pretax income was primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in noninterest expense and a $300,000 decrease in noninterest income. Income before taxes was positively impacted by a $2.9 million decrease in interest expense, and a $1.1 million decrease in provision for credit losses. The noninterest expense increase of $6.3 million is primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in salary and employee benefits expense, a $621,000 increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment, a $457,000 increase in amortization of core deposit intangibles, a $246,000 increase in legal fees, and a $1.8 million increase in OREO related expenses. Our net income was $19.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $21.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. The Bank remains well positioned to navigate uncertain macroeconomics; we have mitigated interest rate risk, controlled expenses in an inflationary environment, and actively managed daily liquidity. Furthermore, we continue to possess strong liquidity metrics and a short duration securities portfolio for short term funding needs.

Net interest and dividend income was $62.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $59.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The $3.1 million increase was driven by a decrease in other short-term borrowings in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the majority of these borrowings being paid down in the fourth quarter of 2024, as well as a $235,000 increase in dividend and interest income. Partially offsetting the increase in net interest and dividend income was a net increase in deposit interest expense of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, which is our primary source of earnings, is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, accretion income on purchased loans, dividend income earned on certain equity investments, and interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends upon the relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the ratio of interest-earning assets to total assets and of interest-bearing liabilities to total funding sources, and movements in market interest rates. Our net interest income can be significantly influenced by a variety of factors, including overall loan demand, economic conditions, credit risk, the amount of nonearning assets including nonperforming loans and OREO, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities, early withdrawal of deposits, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, and balance sheet growth or contraction.

Yield on earnings assets decreased two basis points compared to the linked period, which was primarily driven by repricing within the securities and loan portfolios and, to a lesser extent, higher volumes of interest earning deposits with financial institutions, which were partially offset by a reduction in yields. Changes in the market interest rate environment impact earning assets at varying intervals depending on the repricing timeline of securities and loans, as well as the securities maturity, security and loan paydowns and security purchase activities.

The year over year increase of nine basis points on interest earning assets was primarily driven by overall increases to benchmark interest rates over the past twelve months, primarily impacting variable rate loans and securities. Average balances of securities available for sale decreased $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year like quarter, while the tax equivalent yield on the securities available for sale portfolio increased 41 basis points year over year primarily due to variable security rate resets. Average balances of loans and loans held for sale decreased $60.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year like quarter, while the tax equivalent yield on loans and loans held for sale increased four basis points.

Average balances of interest bearing deposit accounts have increased steadily since the fourth quarter of 2024 through the first quarter of 2025, from $2.89 billion to $3.10 billion, as NOW, money market, savings, and time account average balances all increased due to the impact of FRME acquired deposits. We have continued to control the cost of funds over the periods reflected by monitoring market activity as well as allowing previous exception-priced deposits to runoff naturally, which resulted in a 13 basis point reduction in the cost of interest bearing deposits, from 141 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, to 128 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. A 52 basis point decrease in the cost of time deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, drove a significant portion of the overall decrease from the prior linked quarter. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased ten basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from 118 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. A 22 basis point increase in the cost of money market accounts drove a significant portion of the overall increase from the prior year like quarter.

Borrowing costs decreased in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to the $203.3 million decrease in average other short-term borrowings stemming from a decrease in average daily FHLB advances over the prior linked quarter as the remainder of this borrowing was paid down in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease of $330.8 million year over year of average FHLB advances was based on daily liquidity needs and was the primary driver of the $4.6 million decrease to interest expense on other short-term borrowings. Subordinated and junior subordinated debt interest expense were essentially flat over each of the periods presented.

Our net interest margin, for both GAAP and tax equivalent (“TE”) presentations, showed solid growth over the periods presented above, most significantly in the current quarter. Our net interest margin (GAAP) increased 19 basis points to 4.85% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 4.66% for the fourth quarter of 2024, and increased 30 basis points compared to 4.55% for the first quarter of 2024. Our net interest margin (TE) increased 20 basis points to 4.88% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 4.68% for the fourth quarter of 2024, and increased 30 basis points compared to 4.58% for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest margin for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior linked quarter, was driven by an increase in market interest rates as well as the impact of a full quarter of average deposit balances stemming from the acquisition of the acquired FRME branches, which drove down our cost of funds. Although interest income and expense both decreased compared to the prior linked quarter, interest expense decreased at a higher rate leading to increased net interest income. The net interest margin increased in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior year like quarter, primarily due to the significant decrease of other short-term borrowings as well as higher security and loan yields on lower average balances, partially offset by the increase in costs of interest bearing deposits. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, above, and the tables beginning on page 48 that provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent. 46

Noninterest income decreased $1.4 million, or 12.1%, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, and decreased $300,000, or 2.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2024.  The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a $1.0 million decrease in residential mortgage banking revenue primarily due to a decrease of $955,000 in MSRs mark to market valuation based on faster prepayment speeds and lower balances. Also contributing to the decrease during the quarter was a $210,000 decrease in wealth management income primarily due to a decline in estate fees, and a $269,000 decrease in the cash surrender value of BOLI due to market interest rates.

The decrease in noninterest income of $300,000 in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024, is primarily due to a $499,000 decrease in residential mortgage banking revenue primarily due to a $664,000 decrease in MSRs mark to market valuations based on faster prepayment speeds. Also contributing to the decrease during the quarter was a $674,000 decrease in the quarterly adjustment to the cash surrender value of BOLI (which includes COLI) due to market changes in the underlying assets of our COLI investments. Partially offsetting the decrease in noninterest income from the prior year like quarter was a $528,000 increase in wealth management income primarily due to growth in advisory fees and estate fees and a $304,000 increase in service charges on deposits partially related to growth in commercial treasury management fees.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 increased $183,000, or 0.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, and increased $6.3 million, or 16.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2024.  The increase in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, was attributable to a $1.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, with increases reflected primarily in restricted stock expense, payroll taxes, and increases in salaries based on increased base salary rates.  Also contributing to the increase in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2025 was a $321,000 increase in the amortization of core deposit intangible due to a full quarter of expense recorded with the FRME branch purchase in December 2024. Partially offsetting the increase over the prior linked quarter was a $311,000 decrease in computer and data processing, a $457,000 decrease in consulting & management fees, and a $363,000 decrease in other expense; all three of these decreases quarter over linked quarter are due to FRME related costs recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The year over year increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributable to a $2.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to increases in annual base salary rates, officers’ incentives, and restricted stock expense  Also contributing to the increase was a $621,000 increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment, a $457,000 increase in core deposit intangible, and a $246,000 increase in legal fees primarily due to transaction-related costs incurred related to our branch purchase from FRME in December 2024 and our pending acquisition of Bancorp Financial announced in late February 2025. Other increases year over year include a $1.8 million increase in other real estate owned expense, net, related to operating and closing costs as we liquidated two large OREO properties during the first quarter of 2025.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 on $26.2 million of pretax income, compared to income tax expense of $6.3 million on $25.4 million of pretax income in the fourth quarter of 2024, and income tax expense of $7.2 million on $28.5 million of pretax income in the first quarter of 2024. Our effective tax rate was 24.3% in the first quarter of 2025, 24.7% for the fourth quarter of 2024, and 25.3% for the first quarter of 2024.

Income tax expense reflected all relevant statutory tax rates and GAAP accounting. There were no significant changes in our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. We had no valuation reserve on the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025. 50

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $78.3 million to $5.73 billion at March 31, 2025, from $5.65 billion at December 31, 2024, due primarily to the increase of $156.8 million in cash stemming from the FRME acquisition, offset by a decrease in total loans of $41.1 million, a decrease in securities available-for-sale of $15.0 million, and a decrease of $18.7 million of OREO. We continue to actively assess potential investment opportunities to utilize our excess liquidity. Total deposits were $4.85 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $84.1 million from December 31, 2024.

We continue to position the portfolio in higher credit quality, shorter duration securities with an appropriate mix of fixed- and floating-rate exposures.

Total loans were $3.94 billion as of March 31, 2025, a decrease of $41.1 million from December 31, 2024. The decrease in total loans in the first three months of 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, was due primarily to paydowns, net of originations, within commercial of $67.6 million, commercial real estate – owner occupied of $13.3 million, and multifamily of $10.1 million, partially offset by net increases in commercial real estate – investor of $26.6 million, leases of $13.7 million, and construction of $4.1 million. Total loans decreased $29.2 million compared to March 31, 2024, primarily due to paydowns, net of originations, within commercial real estate – owner occupied of $112.6 million, commercial of $63.7 million, and multifamily of $46.2 million, partially offset by net increases in leases of $79.8 million, commercial real estate – investor of $87.1 million, and construction of $36.7 million. As required by CECL, the balance (or amortized cost basis) of purchased credit deteriorated loans, or PCD loans (discussed below) is carried on a gross basis, rather than net of the associated credit loss estimate, and the expected credit losses for PCD loans are estimated and separately recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses, or ACL.

The quality of our loan portfolio is impacted not only by our credit decisions but also by the economic health of the communities in which we operate. Since we are located in a corridor with significant open space and undeveloped real estate, real estate lending (including commercial real estate, construction, residential, multifamily, and HELOCs) has been and continues to be a sizeable portion of our portfolio. These categories comprised 68.2% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2025, compared to 67.2% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, our outstanding commercial real estate loans and undrawn commercial real estate commitments, excluding owner occupied real estate, were equal to 267.5% of our Tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses, a decrease from 273.3% at December 31, 2024. We continue to oversee and seek to manage our loan portfolio in accordance with interagency guidance on risk management.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or greater past due. Nonperforming loans increased by $4.5 million to $34.8 million at March 31, 2025, from $30.3 million at December 31, 2024, and decreased $30.3 million from $65.1 million at March 31, 2024. Purchased credit deteriorated loans, or PCD loans, are purchased loans that, as of the date of acquisition, we determined had experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. PCD loans and their related deferred loan costs are included in our nonperforming loan disclosures, if such loans otherwise meet the definition of a nonperforming loan. Management continues to carefully monitor loans considered to be in a classified status. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans were 0.9% as of March 31, 2025, 0.8% as of December 31, 2024, and 1.6% as of March 31, 2024.

The net charge offs for the first quarter of 2025 were primarily due to one charge off on two commercial loans totaling $3.4 million, and one construction loan for $821,000. We have continued our conservative loan valuations and aggressive recovery efforts on prior charge-offs.

Classified loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing substandard and doubtful loans. Classified assets include both classified loans, OREO, and repossessed assets. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by either the current net worth and ability to meet payment obligations of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged to secure the loan, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and carry the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if deficiencies remain uncorrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent as those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Total classified loans and classified assets decreased $7.0 million and $25.7 million as of March 31, 2025, from December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in classified assets since December 31, 2024, is due to loan outflows of $8.1 million which consisted of $1.7 million of loans paid off, $1.5 million of loans charged off, $481,000 of classified loans upgraded, $4.4 million of principal reductions through payments and partial charge offs, and OREO outflows of $18.7 million on two OREO sales. The outflows are offset by the additions of $1.1 million. The $52.2 million decrease in classified assets compared to March 31, 2024, is primarily due to a classified loan decrease of $50.4 million. Classified loans from March 31, 2024, had outflows of $118.7 million which consisted of $42.4 million of loans paid off, $29.8 million of classified loans upgraded, $7.5 million of loans charged off, $22.1 million of principal reductions, and $17.6 million transferred to OREO. The outflows are offset by additions of $68.3 million from March 31, 2024. Management monitors a ratio of classified assets to the sum of Bank Tier 1 capital and the ACL on loans as another measure of overall change in loan related asset quality, which is referred to as the “classified assets ratio.” The classified assets ratio was 13.12% for the period ended March 31, 2025, compared to 17.45% as of December 31, 2024, and 21.33% as of March 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The provision for credit losses, which includes a provision for losses on unfunded commitments, is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.

​ 54

Table of Contents ​

At March 31, 2025, our ACL on loans totaled $41.6 million, and our ACL on unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities, totaled $2.0 million. In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded provision expense on loans of $2.3 million driven by the downgrade of two credits resulting in a reduced specific allocation and a slight upward adjustment to a macro-economic forecast, these negative trends were offset by upgrades and payoffs on credits that carried higher loss rates. The reduction in provision for commercial real estate – owner occupied was driven primarily by two credits moving from substandard to nonaccrual with a higher required pooled reserve than what is required with an individual reserve based on improved property valuations.  Further, we recorded a $115,000 provision on unfunded commitments, primarily due to an adjustment of historical benchmark assumptions, such as funding rates and the period used to forecast those rates, within the ACL calculation. These adjustments resulted in a $2.4 million net impact to the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2025.

Management estimates the amount of provision required on a quarterly basis and records the appropriate provision expense, or release of expense, to maintain an adequate reserve for all potential and estimated credit losses on loans, leases and unfunded commitments. The ACL on loans totaled $41.6 million as of March 31, 2025, $43.6 million as of December 31, 2024, and $44.1 million as of March 31, 2024. Our ACL on loans to total loans was 1.05% as of March 31, 2025, 1.10% as of December 31, 2024, and 1.11% as of March 31, 2024. See Item 7 – Critical Accounting Estimates in the Management Discussion and Analysis in our 2024 Annual Report in Form 10-K for discussion of our ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged-off.

The coverage ratio of the ACL on loans to nonperforming loans was 119.4% as of March 31, 2025, which was a decrease from the coverage ratio of 144.0% as of December 31, 2024, and an increase from 67.8% as of March 31, 2024.  Net charge-offs to average loans have remained relatively stable over the past year, at 0.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, 0.49% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and 0.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

In management’s judgment, an adequate ACL has been established to encompass the current lifetime expected credit losses at March 31, 2025, as well as general changes in lending policy, procedures and staffing, and other external factors. However, there can be no assurance that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts in the future, based on unforeseen economic events, changes in business climates and the condition of collateral at the time of default and repossession. Continued volatility in the economic environment stemming from the impacts of and response to inflation, tariffs, potential recession, and the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, and the associated effects on our customers, or other factors, such as changes in business climates and the condition of collateral at the time of default or repossession, may revise our current expectations of future credit losses in future reporting periods.

Other Real Estate Owned

As of March 31, 2025, OREO totaled $2.9 million, reflecting a decrease of $18.7 million from $21.6 million at December 31, 2024, and a decrease of $2.2 million from $5.1 million at March 31, 2024. There were two property sales totaling $18.3 million during the first quarter of 2025. Valuation reserve adjustments of $1.0 million were recorded related to one property sale, partially offset by adjustments for updated appraisals on other properties still held. Valuation write-downs totaling $1.8 million occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024 and there were no valuation adjustments in the first quarter of 2024.

In management’s judgment, the property valuation allowance as established presents OREO at current estimates of fair value less estimated costs to sell; however, there can be no assurance that additional losses will not be incurred on disposals or upon updates to valuations in the future. These valuations are reversed when the property is sold.

Total deposits were $4.85 billion at March 31, 2025, which reflects an $84.1 million increase from total deposits of $4.77 billion at December 31, 2024, and an increase of $244.5 million from total deposits of $4.61 billion at March 31, 2024. The increase in deposits at March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, was primarily due to increases in non-interest bearing deposits of $8.8 million, savings accounts of $20.4 million, NOW accounts of $31.0 million, and money market accounts of $68.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $44.2 million in time deposits. The increase in deposits at March 31, 2025, compared to March 31, 2024, was primarily due to increases in NOW accounts of $82.6 million, money market accounts of $133.2 million, and time deposits of $117.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $86.2 million and savings accounts of $2.9 million stemming from both the FRME branch acquisition and legacy deposit account seasonal increases. Total quarterly average deposits increased $218.7 million, or 4.8%, in the year over year period, driven by an increase in average time deposits of $166.9 million, and NOW and money markets combined of $185.7 million, which was partially offset by decreases in average demand deposits of $116.1 million, and savings accounts of $17.8 million. The overall increase in quarterly average deposits for the year over year period was primarily due to the acquisition of the FRME branches.

The following table presents estimated insured and uninsured deposits at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, by deposit type, as well as the weighted average rates for each year to date ending period.

Deposits increased 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, due to growth from new deposits, primarily due to seasonal tax receipts. Deposits experienced product migration from time deposits into money market accounts and more broadly across noninterest bearing demand, savings, and NOW accounts. The mix of insured and uninsured remained unchanged in the first quarter.

In addition to deposits, we used other liquidity sources for our funding needs in all periods presented, such as repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings with the FHLBC. Securities sold under repurchase agreements totaled $38.7 million at March 31, 2025, a $2.0 million, or 5.5%, increase from $36.7 million at December 31, 2024, and an increase of $5.1 million, or 15.3%, from March 31, 2024. There were no outstanding short-term FHLBC borrowings as of March 31, 2025, and the outstanding balance of our short-term FHLBC borrowings was $20.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and $220.0 million as of March 31, 2024. The large decrease in short-term FHLB advances is due to an influx of cash resulting from the acquisition of the five FRME branches on December 6, 2024, which allowed us to utilize the purchased deposits for lower cost funding.

We are also indebted on $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, net of deferred issuance costs, as of March 31, 2025, which are related to the trust preferred securities issued by its statutory trust subsidiary, Old Second Capital Trust II (“Trust II”). The Trust II issuance converted from fixed to floating rate at three month LIBOR, which is now three month Term SOFR, plus 150 basis points beginning June 15, 2017. Upon conversion to a floating rate, we initiated a cash flow hedge which resulted in net year to date interest rate paid on this debt of 4.53% as of March 31, 2025, as compared to 6.77%, which was the rate paid during the period prior to the June 15, 2017, rate reset.

In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers pursuant to which we issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2031 (the “Notes”). We sold the Notes to eligible purchasers in a private offering, and the proceeds of this issuance were used for general corporate purposes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.50% through April 14, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears. As of April 15, 2026, forward, the interest rate on the Notes will generally reset quarterly to a rate equal to three-month Term SOFR (as defined by the Note) plus 273 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes have a stated maturity of April 15, 2031, and are redeemable, in whole are in part, on April 15, 2026, or any interest payment date thereafter, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events. As of March 31, 2025, we had $59.5 million of subordinated debentures outstanding, net of deferred issuance costs.

Capital

As of March 31, 2025, total stockholders’ equity was $694.5 million, which was an increase of $23.5 million from $671.0 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was largely attributable to net income of $19.8 million in the first three months of 2025, partially offset by $2.7 million of dividends paid to our common stockholders. In addition, total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2025, increased over December 31, 2024, due to a reduction in unrealized net losses on available-for-sale securities and swaps, which contributed to the overall decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $6.4 million in the first three months of 2025, due to changes in market interest rates. Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2025, increased $98.3 million compared to March 31, 2024, due to net income year over year and the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $22.0 million year over year.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company, on a consolidated basis, exceeded the minimum capital ratios to be deemed “well capitalized” and met the capital conservation buffer requirements. In addition to the above regulatory ratios, our GAAP common equity to total assets ratio, which is used as a performance measurement for capital analysis and peer comparisons, increased from 11.88% at December 31, 2024, to 12.13% at March 31, 2025. Our GAAP tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 10.34% at March 31, 2025, compared to 10.04% as of December 31, 2024. Our non-GAAP tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, which management also considers a valuable performance measurement for capital analysis, increased from 10.11% at December 31, 2024, to 10.40% at March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in tangible common equity at a faster pace than tangible assets in the first three months of 2025. The increase in tangible common equity from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025, was primarily due to an increase in retained earnings of $17.1 million and a reduction of $6.4 million in unrealized losses in AOCI.

The non-GAAP intangible asset exclusion reflects the 80% core deposit limitation per Basel III guidelines within risk-based capital calculations, and is useful for us when reviewing risk-based capital ratios and equity performance metrics.

Liquidity

Liquidity is our ability to fund operations, to meet depositor withdrawals, to provide for customers’ credit needs, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments. Our liquidity principally depends on our cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings, and our ability to borrow funds. In the first quarter of 2025, we experienced a decrease in loans but an increase in deposits. We managed the change in our funding through a reduction in average borrowings from the FHLBC through March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year like period. We seek to ensure our funding needs are met by maintaining a level of liquidity through asset and liability management. We monitor our borrowing capacity at the FHLBC as part of our liquidity management process as supervised by our Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) and reviewed by our Board of Directors. In addition, our senior management team monitors cash balances daily to ensure we have adequate liquidity to meet our operational and financing needs. As of March 31, 2025, our cash on hand liquidity totaled $256.1 million, an increase of $156.8 million over cash balances held as of December 31, 2024.

Net cash inflows from operating activities were $17.8 million during the first three months of 2025, compared with net cash inflows of $47.4 million in the same period of 2024. Proceeds from sales of loans held-for-sale, net of funds used to originate loans held-for-sale, resulted in outflows for the first three months of 2025 compared to a source of inflows for the like period of 2024. Interest paid, net of interest received, combined with changes in other assets and liabilities were a source of outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a source of inflows for the like period of 2024. The management of investing and financing activities, as well as market conditions, determines the level and the stability of net interest cash flows. Management’s policy is to mitigate the impact of changes in market interest rates to the extent possible, as part of the balance sheet management process.

Table of Contents ​

Net cash inflows from investing activities were $76.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash inflows of $93.9 million in the same period in 2024. In the first three months of 2025, securities transactions accounted for net inflows of $23.5 million, and the principal change on loans accounted for net inflows of $36.8 million. In the first three months of 2024, securities transactions accounted for net inflows of $22.3 million, and principal on loans funded, net of paydowns, accounted for net inflows of $70.0 million.

Net cash inflows from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $62.2 million, compared with net cash outflows of $143.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net deposit inflows in the first three months of 2025 were $84.3 million compared to net deposit inflows of $37.6 million in the first three months of 2024. Other short-term borrowings had $20.0 million of net cash outflows in the first three months of 2025, compared to net cash outflows of $185.0 million for other short-term borrowings in the first three months of 2024. Changes in securities sold under repurchase agreements accounted for inflows of $2.0 million and inflows of $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends paid on our common stock totaled $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The purchase of treasury stock in the first three months of 2025 due to shares acquired with equity award vestings resulted in outflows of $1.4 million, compared to cash outflows of $776,000 in the first three months of 2024 related to shares acquired from equity award vestings.

Cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $256.1 million, as compared to $99.3 million as of December 31, 2024, and $98.1 million as of March 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to year end 2024 and March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to the decrease in our loan and securities portfolios and the increase in customer deposits, partially offset by the decrease in other short-term borrowings during the first three months of 2025. In addition to cash and cash equivalents on hand or held as deposits with other financial institutions, we rely on funding sources from customer deposits, cash flows from securities available-for-sale and loans, and a line of credit with the FHLBC to meet potential liquidity needs. These sources of liquidity are immediately available to satisfy any funding requirements due to depositor or borrower demands through the ordinary course of our business. Additional sources of funding available include a $30.0 million undrawn line of credit held by the Company with a third party financial institution, as well as unpledged securities available-for-sale.

Table of Contents Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk from changes on assets (loans and securities), liabilities (customer deposits and borrowed funds) and off-balance sheet derivatives (interest rate swaps). Fluctuations in interest rates may have a material impact to fair market values of our financial instruments, cash flows, and net interest income. Like most financial institutions, we have an exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates. We believe a financial institution’s ability to effectively tune its interest rate risk profile and strategically position its balance sheet through rate cycles helps sustain financial performance of our institution.

The Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) has held the Federal Funds (“FF”) target rate at a range of 4.25-4.50%. The recently enacted tariffs could move the FRB further from its goals of promoting price stability, and the current posture is to wait for greater clarity. Despite the current outlook on rates, the current forward curve continues to expect multiple rate cuts in 2025. Recently, Treasury markets have been volatile as investors digested the news of tariffs; Treasury auctions evidenced a reduction of demand by US-based investors that was offset by increased demand by non-US buyers.

We manage interest rate risk within guidelines established by the asset liability policy which are intended to limit the amount of rate exposure. In practice, we seek to manage our interest rate risk exposure within our guidelines so that such exposure does not pose a material risk to our future earnings. We manage various market risks in the normal course of our operations, including credit, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities and operations. In addition, since we do not hold a trading portfolio, we are not exposed to significant market risk from trading activities. Our interest rate risk exposures at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, are outlined in the table below.

Our net income can be significantly influenced by a variety of external factors, including: overall economic conditions, policies and actions of regulatory authorities, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities other than those that are assumed, early withdrawal of deposits, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, competition, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, changes in historical relationships between indices (such as SOFR and Prime), and balance sheet growth or contraction. Our asset-liability committee seeks to manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring our on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions, which includes interest rate swap derivatives as discussed in Note 19 of our consolidated financial statements found in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We seek to monitor and manage interest rate risk within approved policy guidelines and limits. Asset and liability modeling and tracking is performed and presented to the asset-liability committee and the Board of Directors no less than quarterly. Such presentations discuss our current and historical interest rate risk posture, shifts in the balance sheet composition, and the impact of interest rate movements on earnings and equity. Our current balance sheet is a moderately asset sensitive profile, our variable rate assets reprice faster than our longer duration, low beta deposit base. The market events of failed liquidity management at other banks in 2023 have been discussed and reviewed by the asset-liability committee. The committee concluded that we possess a strong liquidity profile and no new liquidity risks were identified. Prudently, we added new measures to assess liquidity risk and enhanced our internal reports to segment deposits by insured, uninsured, collateralized deposits, and we monitor the bank’s funding sources and uses on a regular basis.

We also have a risk committee, chaired by our Chief Risk Officer, which reports no less than quarterly to senior management as well as our Board of Directors regarding compliance with risk tolerance limits, key risk factor changes, both internally and externally, due to portfolio changes as well as market conditions. Our enterprise risk management framework is governed by this committee, with input being provided by line of business managers, senior management and the Board.

We use simulation analysis to quantify the impact of various rate scenarios on our net interest income. Specific cash flows, repricing characteristics, and embedded options of the assets and liabilities held by us are incorporated into the simulation model. Earnings at risk are calculated by comparing the net interest income of a stable interest rate environment to the net interest income of a different interest rate environment in order to determine the percentage change. As of March 31, 2025, our net interest income profile remained sensitive to earnings gains (in both dollars and percentage) should market interest rates rise. Comparatively, we have a slightly more sensitive profile relative to December 31, 2024, should interest rates rise. This reflects a continued build of our cash balance derived from earnings and return of principal in the form of amortizations, maturities, calls, and prepayments. 61

Table of Contents The following table summarizes the effect on annual income before income taxes based upon an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, with no change in the slope of the yield curve.

The amounts and assumptions used in the simulation model should not be viewed as indicative of expected actual results. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, balance sheet composition and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. The above results do not take into account any management action to mitigate potential risk.

Effects of Inflation

In management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect our financial condition to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate; we monitor both. The annual U.S. inflation rate for March 2025 eased to 2.4%, down from 2.9% quarter-over-quarter, while Core CPI also eased to 2.8%. With the unprecedented enactment of tariffs across US trade partners, management believes the economic effect will manifest via higher prices, reversing the course of lower inflation. The downside risks of high inflation put upwards pressure on our expenses, which could impact our profits. Furthermore, higher costs of living may weaken the financial condition of our borrowers which could affect our credit profile. Inflation at the levels currently experienced has a minimal impact to our financial results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of March 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s internal controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Stock Repurchases

In December 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,234,896 shares of our common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Company received notice of non-objection in December 2024 from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for the Repurchase Program. Under the Repurchase Program, repurchases may be made through December 31, 2025, will not exceed an aggregate value of $39.1 million. We may make repurchases under the Repurchase Program from time to time through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means.

The actual means and timing of any repurchases, quantity of purchased shares and prices will be, subject to certain limitations, at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, market prices of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be initiated, discontinued, suspended or restarted at any time provided that repurchases under the Repurchase Program after December 31, 2025, would require Federal Reserve non-objection or approval. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under the Repurchase Program.

Exhibit 10.1

OLD SECOND BANCORP, INC.

2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

The Participant specified below has been granted a restricted stock unit award (the “Award”) by Old Second Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), under the Old Second Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, As Amended and Restated **** (the “Plan”).  The Award shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and the terms set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”).

Section 1.Award .  The Company has granted to the Participant the Award of performance-based restricted stock units (each such unit, a “PRSU”), where each PRSU represents the right of the Participant to receive one share of common stock of the Company, $1.00 par value per share (each a “Share,” and collectively the “Shares”) upon the vesting of such PRSU as set forth below.

Section 2.Terms of Restricted Stock Unit Award . The following words and phrases relating to the Award have the following meanings:

(a)The “Participant” is [●].

(b)The “Grant Date” is [●].

(c)The number of “PRSUs” is [●], subject to the restrictions imposed under this Award Agreement and the Plan.  Each PRSU entitles the Participant to one Share of Company Common Stock upon the vesting of such PRSUs as set forth below.

Except for words and phrases otherwise defined in this Award Agreement, any capitalized word or phrase in this Award Agreement has the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Section 3.Vesting .

(a)The PRSUs will vest upon the achievement of the performance metrics determined by the Committee and attached as Exhibit A for the Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit A), provided that the Participant’s Termination of Service has not occurred prior to the conclusion of the Restricted Period (the “Continuous Service Requirement”).  The “Restricted Period” shall begin on the first day of the Performance Period and shall end on the date of the committee’s certification of achievement of the performance metrics as defined in Exhibit A.   The determination of whether a performance metric has been achieved will be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

​ ​

​ (b)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, and subject to Section 3(c) below, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Service (not including a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s death) initiated by the Company without Cause, or by the Participant due to Good Reason, or due to the Participant’s Disability, or Retirement, then:

(i) with respect to any PRSUs for which the Performance Period has already ended, the Continuous Service Requirement of Section 3(a) shall be waived and such PRSUs shall fully vest on the date of such Termination of Service to the extent that the applicable performance metrics have been achieved and, the Shares due upon vesting of such PRSUs shall be issued in accordance with Section 4(a) , subject to any required delay pursuant to Section 16 below, and in each case subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d).

(ii)with respect to any PRSUs for which the Performance Period has not yet ended, the Continuous Service Requirement of Section 3(a) shall be waived and a pro rata portion of such PRSUs shall vest in full on the date of such Termination of Service.  Such pro rata portion shall be calculated as follows: (A) the target (100%) number of PRSUs set forth on Exhibit A to this Award Agreement, will be multiplied by (B) the quotient of (x) the number of full months that have elapsed between the first day of the Performance Period and the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and (y) the total number of full months in the respective Performance Period and, the Shares due upon vesting of such PRSUs shall be issued within thirty (30) days following the date of such Termination of Service initiated by the Company without Cause, or by the Participant due to Good Reason, or due to the Participant’s Disability or Retirement, as applicable, subject to any required delay pursuant to Section 16 below, and in each case subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and **(d).**For purposes of this Award Agreement, "Retirement" shall mean the Participant's voluntary Termination of Service on or after the attainment of sixty (60) years of age and five (5) years of service with the Company, having submitted written notice to the Company of his or her intended Retirement date at least one year in advance of such Retirement, provided, however, that Participant's voluntary Termination of Service in anticipation of the Company taking action to terminate Participant's employment for Cause shall not qualify as a Retirement.

(c)Upon a Change in Control, this Award will be treated as follows:

​ 2

​ ​

(i)If this Award is assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board, any PRSUs for which the Performance Period has not yet ended shall be deemed earned at the target (100%) level on the effective date of the Change in Control (such number, the “Earned PRSUs”); provided, however, that the vesting of any Earned PRSU’s shall be conditioned on the requirement that the Participant’s Termination of Service has not occurred prior to the conclusion of the Performance Period (which, following a Change in Control, shall be deemed to be the Continuous Service Requirement).  Following the date of consummation of the Change in Control, the applicable number of Earned PRSUs shall continue to be subject to the Continuous Service Requirement and be subject to forfeiture during the Performance Period. Following the end of the Performance Period, any such vested Earned PRSUs will be settled in accordance with Section 4(a), and subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within two (2) years after the effective date of such Change in Control, the Participant incurs a Termination of Service by the Company (or such surviving entity) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, the Continuous Service Requirement with respect to the Earned PRSUs shall be waived as of the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and, the Shares due upon settlement of such Earned PRSUs shall be issued within thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, subject to any required delay pursuant to Section 16 below, and in each case subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d).

(ii)To the extent that this Award is not assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board, then with respect to any PRSUs for which the Performance Period has not yet ended, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control the Fair Market Value of the target (100%) number of any such unvested PRSUs shall be determined as of the date of the Change in Control and will be deemed to be earned (such amount, the “Earned Cash PRSU Amount”); provided, however, that the vesting of any Earned Cash PRSU Amount shall be conditioned on the Continuous Service Requirement (applicable following a Change in Control).  Following the date of consummation of the Change in Control, the applicable Earned Cash PRSU Amount shall continue to be subject to the Continuous Service Requirement and be subject to forfeiture during the Performance Period. Following the end of the Performance Period, any such vested Earned Cash PRSU Amount will be paid in a single-lump sum cash payment, less applicable Federal, state, and local tax and other withholdings (without interest) in accordance with Section 4(a), and subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period and within two (2) years after the effective date of such Change in Control, the Participant incurs a Termination of Service by the Company (or such surviving entity) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, the Continuous Service Requirement with respect to the Earned Cash PRSU Amount shall be waived as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and the Earned Cash PRSU Amount shall be paid to the Participant (without interest) in a single lump-sum cash payment, less applicable Federal, state, and local tax and other withholdings within thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, subject to any required delay pursuant to Section 16 below, and in each case subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d). 3

​ (d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(a), and subject to Section 3(c) above, if the Participant dies prior to a Termination of Service, then:

(i)with respect to any PRSUs for which the Performance Period has already ended, the Continuous Service Requirement of Section 3(a) shall be waived and such PRSUs shall fully vest on the date of such death to the extent that the applicable performance metrics have been achieved and, the Shares due upon vesting of such PRSUs shall be issued during the period beginning on the date of the Participant’s death, and ending on December 31 of the year following the year in which the Participant’s death occurred, subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d).

(ii)with respect to any PRSUs for which the Performance Period has not yet ended, the Continuous Service Requirement of Section 3(a) shall be waived and a pro rata portion of such PRSUs shall vest in full on the date of such death.  Such pro rata portion shall be calculated as follows: (A) the target (100%) number of PRSUs set forth on Exhibit A to this Award Agreement, will be multiplied by (B) the quotient of (x) the number of full months that have elapsed between the first day of the Performance Period and the date of the Participant’s death and (y) the total number of full months in the respective Performance Period and, the Shares due upon vesting of such PRSUs shall be issued during the period beginning on the date of the Participant’s death, and ending on December 31 of the year following the year in which the Participant’s death occurred, subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d).

(e)Except as set forth in Section 3 (b), Section 3 (c), and Section 3(d) above, any unvested PRSUs shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason (or, in the case of Termination of Service for Cause, upon notification of such termination, if earlier).

Section 4.Settlement of PRSUs .  Delivery of Shares or other amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a)Delivery of Shares.  Following vesting of each PRSU, the Company will issue to the Participant the vested Shares (i) during the calendar year (anticipated by the Company to occur generally in March) following the last day of the Performance Period and subject to any required delay pursuant to Section 16 below, or (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 3(b)(ii), 3(c), or 3(d), if applicable.

(b)Compliance with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding any other term of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Shares or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws and the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(c)Certificates Not Required. To the extent that this Award Agreement and the Plan provide for the issuance of Shares, such issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(d)No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be delivered pursuant to this Award Agreement (cash shall be paid in lieu thereof). 4

​ ​

Section 5.Withholding . All vesting and delivery of Shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to withholding of all applicable Federal, State, and local tax and other withholdings.  The Participant (or if applicable, permitted assigns, heirs and Designated Beneficiaries (as defined below)) shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Participant pursuant to the Award (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by withholding vested Shares to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Award), the amount of any required withholdings in respect of the Award and to take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes; further provided that, unless otherwise approved by the Committee, any withholdings in respect of the Award shall be satisfied through the withholding of vested Shares to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Award (provided, however, such Shares may not be used to satisfy more than the Company’s maximum statutory withholding obligation or, if applicable, such lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes).  The Participant (or if applicable, permitted assigns, heirs and Designated Beneficiaries) may elect to satisfy any withholding obligation in respect of the Award (a) if approved by the Committee (i) through cash payment by the Participant, or (ii) through the surrender of Shares that the Participant already owns, or (b) through the withholding of vested Shares to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Award (provided, however, such Shares under clause (b) may not be used to satisfy more than the Company’s maximum statutory withholding obligation or, if applicable, such lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); provided that any such election must be made on or before the date the amount of tax to be withheld is determinable and, once made, such election shall be irrevocable.  The fair market value of the Shares to be withheld or surrendered will be deemed to be the Fair Market Value as of the date the amount of tax to be withheld is determinable.

Section 6.Non-Transferability of Award **.**The Award, or any portion thereof, is not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Award shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Participant in any way whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Award contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Award, shall be null and void and without effect.

Section 7.Dividend Equivalents .  Provided that the Participant has not incurred a Termination of Service prior to the applicable dividend or distribution date, the Participant shall be entitled to receive

(a)dividend equivalents on such PRSU equal to any cash dividends issued on Shares covered by the PRSU Award in accordance with the Company’s Equity Awards Accounting Processes policy (“Dividends”); and 5

​ (b)all non-cash dividend, distribution and liquidation rights with respect to such PRSU as if the Participant held unrestricted Stock (“Non-Cash Dividends, and together with any Dividends (“Dividend Equivalents”) (other than dividends and distributions that may be issued with respect to Shares by virtue of any corporate transaction, to the extent adjustment is made pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Plan).

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents shall be owed or provided to or for the benefit of the Participant with respect to record dates for such dividends or distributions occurring before the Grant Date or on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited the RSUs.  Dividend Equivalents shall be accrued at the time the respective dividends or distributions are paid and shall be subject to the same restrictions, vesting, payment timing, and other terms and conditions applicable to the underlying PRSUs.

Section 10.Administration .

(b)The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement or any Company policy applicable to the unauthorized use or disclosure of trade secrets, the Participant is hereby notified that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (Pub. Law 114-153), the Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, municipal or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The Participant also may not be held so liable for such disclosures made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, individuals who file a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Award Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).  Nothing in this Award Agreement shall be construed to authorize, or limit liability for, an act that is otherwise prohibited by law, such as the unlawful access of material by unauthorized means.

Section 19.Non-Solicitation Covenants **.**As an essential ingredient and in consideration of the Participant’s employment or other service by the Company, the Participant’s receipt of this Award and the Participant’s opportunity to participate in the Plan or another equity incentive plan maintained by the Company, the Participant shall not, during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates and for a period of one (1) year after termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company (and its Subsidiaries or affiliates) for any reason (the “Restrictive Period”) and regardless of when such termination of employment occurs, do any of the following (the “Restrictive Covenant”): directly or indirectly, for the Participant or any bank, savings and loan association, credit union or similar financial institution (a “Financial Institution”): (a) induce or attempt to induce any officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or any employee who previously reported to the Participant, to leave the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates; (b) in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates and any such officer or employee; (c) employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any such officer or employee; or (d) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to cease doing business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates and any of their respective customers, suppliers, licensees or business relations where the Participant had personal contact with, or has accessed Confidential Information in the preceding twelve (12) months with respect to, such customers, suppliers, licensees or business relations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party identified on Schedule 1 hereto shall be excluded from the scope of the Restrictive Covenant.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenant exist independently of and is in addition to (and is not in lieu of and does not limit or modify) any other agreements, covenants and obligations by which the Participant may be bound by or to which the Participant may be subject by contract, or by applicable law or regulation, with respect to non-solicitation, non-competition or other restrictions.

​ ​

Section 20.Remedies for Breach .  The Participant has reviewed the provisions of this Award Agreement with legal counsel, or has been given adequate opportunity to seek such counsel, and the Participant acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants contained herein are reasonable with respect to their duration and scope.  The Participant further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Award Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company, that they create no undue hardships, that any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to the Company and its interests, that the Company would not have agreed to enter into this Award Agreement, or otherwise allow the Participant an opportunity to participate in the Plan or any other equity incentive plan maintained by the Company, without receiving Participant’s agreement to be bound by the Restrictive Covenants and that such Restrictive Covenants were a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Award Agreement, or otherwise allow the Participant an opportunity to participate in the Plan or any other equity incentive plan maintained by the Company.  During the Restrictive Period, the Company shall have the right to communicate the existence and terms of this Award Agreement to any third party with whom the Participant may seek or obtain future employment or other similar arrangement.  In addition, in the event of any violation or threatened violation of the restrictions contained in this Award Agreement, the Company, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies or damages available to the Company under this Award Agreement or the Plan or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation by the Participant and any and all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with him, as the case may be.  If the Participant violated the Restrictive Covenant and the Company brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Company shall not, as a result of time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the Restrictive Covenant.  Accordingly, the Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified herein computed from the date the relief is granted but reduced by the time between the period when the Restrictive Period began to run and the date of the first violation of the Restrictive Covenant by the Participant.

​ 11

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Award Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf, and the Participant acknowledges understanding and acceptance of, and agrees to, the terms of this Award Agreement, all as of the Grant Date.
