~~Note 2. Risks and Uncertainties~~

Significant progress has been made to combat the outbreak of COVID-19; however, the global pandemic has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company's customers operate and could still impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. While it appears that health and economic conditions are trending in a positive direction as of September 30, 2021, a resurgence in the virus or its variants could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full impact COVID-19, and any potential measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company's future operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.

Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout of the pandemic. The CARES Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act was to curb the economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors through programs like the PPP. During December 2020, many provisions of the CARES Act were extended through the end of 2021. Additionally, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill, was signed into law in March 2021. This package builds upon many of the measures in the CARES Act and is intended to speed up the recovery from the economic and health effects of COVID-19.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 87

~~Financial position and results of operations~~

The Company has not yet experienced any charge-offs related to COVID-19. See Note 8. Should economic conditions worsen as a result of a resurgence of the virus or its variants and resulting measures to curtail its spread, the Company could experience increases in the required ALL and record additional provision for loan losses. The use of payment deferrals favorably impacted the ratio of past due loans to total loans as well other asset quality ratios at September 30, 2021. It is possible that asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if a resurgence of COVID-19 progresses.

Through September 30, 2021, the Company had executed modifications on outstanding loan balances of $145.6 million that carried accrued interest of $926 thousand. Of the total modifications executed, at September 30, 2021 outstanding loan balances of $748 thousand remained subject to modified terms and carried accrued interest of $34 thousand.

~~Capital and liquidity~~

As of September 30, 2021, all of the Company's and Union's capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While the Company believes it has sufficient capital to withstand a double-dip economic recession brought about by a resurgence in COVID-19, the reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit loss expense. The Company relies on cash on hand as well as dividends from its subsidiary bank to pay dividends to shareholders. If the Company’s capital deteriorates such that its subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to it for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to maintain its dividend to shareholders at the current level. Management continues to analyze the Company's current capital levels and its ability to maintain growth projections and absorb future credit losses while maintaining sufficient levels of capital.

The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to the Company. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Company’s deposit customers to withdraw their funds, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding. To date in 2021, primarily as a result of the deposit of PPP loan proceeds and government assistance payments under the CARES Act and The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Company has experienced a significant increase in customer deposits.

~~Asset valuation~~

COVID-19 has not affected the Company's ability to account timely for the assets on the balance sheet; however, a resurgence of COVID-19 could cause this to change in future periods. The Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test, an intangible asset impairment test, or both, resulting in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP. As of September 30, 2021, goodwill was not impaired and there was no impairment with respect to our intangible assets, premises and equipment or other long-lived assets.

~~Processes, controls and business continuity plan~~

The Company’s preparedness efforts, coupled with quick and decisive plan implementation, has resulted in minimal impacts to operations as a result of COVID-19. At September 30, 2021, some employees have returned to banking facilities while some continue to work remotely. The Company has not experienced any disruption to its operations. The Company has not incurred additional material cost related to the remote working strategy to date, nor are material costs anticipated in future periods.

As of September 30, 2021, management does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain the systems and controls and does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of our business continuity plans.

~~Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers~~

Union continued to work with borrowers during the unprecedented situation caused by COVID-19 and as allowed under the CARES Act, executed a payment deferral program for its customers that were adversely affected by COVID-19. Depending on the demonstrated need of the customer, the Company either deferred the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for up to 180 days for the majority of the deferral requests. The Company had executed 313 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $145.6 million as of September 30, 2021. Of the total deferrals executed, 5 remained in effect on outstanding loan balances of $748 thousand as of September 30, 2021. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020 and updated in April 2020, and confirmed by the FASB, these short term deferrals are not considered TDRs. In August 2020, the federal banking regulators issued supplemental guidance for working with borrowers as their loans near the end of their accommodation period. It is possible that in spite of our best efforts to assist our borrowers and achieve full

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 9~~

collection of our investment, these deferred loans could result in future charge-offs with additional credit loss expense charged to earnings; however, the amount of any future charge-offs on deferred loans is unknown.

With the passage of the PPP, administered by the SBA, the Company assisted its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans bear a mandated annual interest rate of 1.0%. The PPP was initially launched with loans having a two-year term, but subsequent revisions to the PPP allowed the maximum term be extended to five years. The majority of the Company's PPP loans were originated with the two-year term and have not been extended to five years. As of September 30, 2021, $102.1 million of PPP loans were originated of which $73.9 million have been forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government, subject to borrower eligibility requirements. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for credit losses through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Note 3.2. Legal Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal and other proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 5.4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Under ~~the new~~this guidance, which will replace the existing incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, banks and other lending institutions will be required to recognize the full amount of expected credit losses. The ~~new~~ guidance in the ASU, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), requires that expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date that are accounted for at amortized cost be measured and recognized based on historical experience and current and reasonably supportable forecasted conditions to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. A modified version of these requirements also applies to debt securities classified as AFS. As initially proposed, the ASU was to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such years. In October 2019, the FASB approved amendments to delay the effective date of the ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, and other non-SEC reporting entities. The Company did not choose to early adopt the ASU. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the ~~delay is applicable to~~ASU will become effective for the Company ~~and~~beginning with the ~~Company does not intend to early adopt the ASU at this time.~~2023 fiscal year. The Company has established a CECL implementation team and developed a transition project plan. The Company utilizes a software package for its current calculation of the allowance for loan losses that will also be utilized for CECL implementation. Historical data has been compiled and ~~training on utilizing the software for the existing incurred loss model has been completed. The Company~~ continues ~~the collection of historical data~~to be collected and training is ongoing surrounding CECL implementation and methodologies. ~~This~~In addition, the Company is conducting parallel calculations under the existing incurred loss model and the CECL model throughout 2022. The measures will facilitate the eventual implementation process and management's evaluation of the potential impact of the ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and has issued subsequent amendments thereto, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying ~~generally accepted accounting principles~~GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The transition away from LIBOR is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March ~~2020, various financial institution regulatory agencies, including~~2022, the ~~FRB and the FDIC (“the agencies”),~~FASB issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The guidance was subsequently amended following passage of the CARES Act, which included a provision for addressing certain COVID-19 related loan modifications. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASCASU No. ~~310-40,~~2022-02, ~~Receivables –~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by ~~Creditors~~,creditors when a ~~restructuring~~borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The ASU also requires disclosure of ~~debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor,~~current period charge offs by year of origination for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months or less) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current areloans and leases. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies supplemented their interagency guidance on August 3, 2020 to provide prudent risk management and consumer protection principles for financial institutions to consider while working with borrowers near the end of their initial loan accommodation period. The interagency guidancefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU No. 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company evaluates all investment securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, to determine if an OTTI exists. A security is considered impaired if the fair value is lower than its amortized cost basis at the report date. If impaired, management then assesses whether the unrealized loss is OTT.

An unrealized loss on a debt security is generally deemed to be OTT and a credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The credit loss component of OTTI write-down is recorded, net of tax effect, through net income as a component of net OTTI losses in the consolidated statements of income, while the remaining portion of the impairment loss is recognized in OCI, provided the Company does not intend to sell the underlying debt security and it is "more likely than not" that the Company will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery.

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 12~~

Management considers the following factors in determining whether OTTI exists and the period over which the security is expected to recover:

•The length of time, and extent to which, the fair value has been less than the amortized cost;

•Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry, or geographic area;

•The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;

•The payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that may increase in the future;

•Failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

•Any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency;

•Recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date; and

•The nature of the issuer, including whether it is a private company, public entity or government-sponsored enterprise, and the existence or likelihood of any government or third party guaranty.

The Company has the ability to hold the investment securities that had unrealized losses at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 for the foreseeable future. The decline in value is the result of market conditions and not attributable to credit quality in the investment securities and no declines were deemed by management to be OTT.

Note 7.6. Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALL, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Loan interest income is accrued daily on outstanding balances. The following accounting policies, related to accrual and nonaccrual loans, apply to all portfolio segments and loan classes, which the Company considers to be the same. The accrual of interest is normally discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired and/or management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Generally, any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed against current period interest income. A loan may be restored to accrual status when its financial status has significantly improved and there is no principal or interest past due. A loan may also be restored to accrual status if the borrower makes ~~six~~6 consecutive monthly payments or the lump sum equivalent. Income on nonaccrual loans is generally not recognized unless a loan is returned to accrual status or after all principal has been collected. Interest income generally is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Delinquency status is determined based on contractual terms for all portfolio segments and loan classes. Loans past due 30 days or more are considered delinquent. Loans are considered in process of foreclosure when a judgment of foreclosure has been issued by the court.

Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield using methods that approximate the interest method. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the estimated average life of the related loans.

Note 8.7. Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

The ALL is established for estimated losses in the loan portfolio through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. For all loan classes, loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible or in accordance with federal guidelines. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL.

The ALL is maintained at a level believed by management to be appropriate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The amount of the ALL is based on management's periodic evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature, volume and risk characteristics of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, estimated value of any underlying collateral, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. There was no change to the methodology used to estimate the ALL during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the ALL may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or other relevant factors.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, regularly review the Company's ALL. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ALL, with a corresponding charge to earnings, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 12

The ALL consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to the loans that are classified as impaired. Loans are evaluated for impairment and may be classified as impaired when management believes it is probable that the Company will not collect all the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. Impaired loans may also include troubled loans that are restructured. A TDR occurs when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would otherwise not be granted. A TDR classification may result from the transfer of assets to the Company in partial satisfaction of a troubled loan, a modification of a loan's terms (such as reduction of stated interest rates below market rates, extension of maturity that does not conform to the Company's policies, reduction of the face amount of the loan, reduction of accrued interest, or reduction or deferment of loan payments), or a combination. A specific reserve amount is allocated to the ALL for individual loans that have been classified as impaired based on management's estimate of the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, an observable market price, or the present value of anticipated future cash flows. The Company accounts for the change in present value attributable to the passage of time in the loan loss reserve. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, real estate or small balance commercial loans for impairment evaluation, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement or have been identified as impaired as part of a larger customer relationship. Based on an evaluation of the Company's historical loss experience on substandard commercial loans, management has established the commercial loan threshold for individual impairment evaluation as commercial loan relationships with aggregate balances greater than $500 thousand.

The general component represents the level of ALL allocable to each loan portfolio segment with similar risk characteristics and is determined based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors, for each class of loan. Management deems a five year average to be an appropriate time frame on which to base historical losses for each portfolio segment. Qualitative factors considered include underwriting, economic and market conditions, portfolio composition, collateral values, delinquencies, lender experience and legal issues. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each portfolio segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

•Residential real estate - Loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied 1-4 family residential real estate, second and vacation homes, 1-4 family investment properties, home equity and second mortgage loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Construction real estate - Loans in this segment include residential and commercial construction properties, commercial real estate development loans (while in the construction phase of the projects), land and land development loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower and/or the underlying cash flows generated by the properties being constructed. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, housing prices, vacancy rates and material costs, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 15~~

•Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment are primarily properties occupied by businesses or income-producing properties. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by a general slowdown in business or increased vacancy rates which, in turn, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment. Management requests business financial statements at least annually and monitors the cash flows of these loans.

•Commercial - Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by non-real estate assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer or business spending, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Consumer - Loans in this segment are made to individuals for personal expenditures, such as an automobile purchase, and include unsecured loans. Repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Municipal - Loans in this segment are made to municipalities located within the Company's service area. Repayment is primarily dependent on taxes or other funds collected by the municipalities. Management considers there to be minimal risk surrounding the credit quality of this segment.

Management increased certain economic qualitative factors utilized to estimate the ALL during ~~the first nine months of~~ 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. ~~Due~~During 2021, the economic qualitative reserve factor assigned to each loan portfolio in the ALL estimate was decreased due to continued indications of economic ~~improvement~~improvement. COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in June 2021 and ~~with~~ the majority of borrowers that had executed loan modifications due to COVID-19 were no longer subject to modified ~~terms,~~terms. Based on these continued improving economic trends, the economic qualitative reserve factor assigned to all loan portfolios, except the ~~commercial, commercial real estate, residential, junior lien, consumer and~~ municipal loan ~~portfolios~~portfolio, was decreased 5 bps during both the ~~third quarter~~first and second quarters of ~~2021.~~2022.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 13

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the ALL reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

All evaluations are inherently subjective as they require estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as changes occur in economic conditions or other relevant factors. Despite the allocation shown in the tables below, the ALL is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any class of loan.

Changes in the ALL, by class of loans, for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were as follows:

Risk and collateral ratings are assigned to loans and are subject to ongoing monitoring by lending and credit personnel with such ratings updated annually or more frequently if warranted. The following is an overview of the Company's loan rating system:

1-3 Rating - Pass

Risk-rating grades "1" through "3" comprise those loans ranging from those with lower than average credit risk, defined as borrowers with high liquidity, excellent financial condition, strong management, favorable industry trends or loans secured by highly liquid assets, through those with marginal credit risk, defined as borrowers that, while creditworthy, exhibit some characteristics requiring special attention by the account officer.

4-4.5 Rating - Satisfactory/Monitor

Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting management's attention. While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. When warranted, these credits may be monitored on the watch list.

5-7 Rating - Substandard

Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. The loan may be inadequately protected by the net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and/or the underlying collateral is inadequate.

The following tables summarize the loan ratings applied by management to the Company's loans by class as of the balance sheet dates:

The TDR loans above represent loan modifications in which a concession was provided to the borrower, including due date extensions, maturity date extensions, interest rate reductions or the forgiveness of accrued interest. Troubled loans that are restructured and meet established thresholds are classified as impaired and a specific reserve amount is allocated to the ALL on the basis of the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, an observable market price, or the present value of anticipated future cash flows.

~~The following tables provides~~There was no new TDR activity for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021 and 2020:~~2022 or 2021.

There were no TDR loans modified within the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 or ~~2020.~~2021. TDR loans are considered defaulted at 90 days past due.

In March 2020, the federal banking agencies issued guidance, confirmed by the FASB, that certain short-term modifications made to loans to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and government shutdown orders would not be considered TDRs under specified ~~circumstances (See Notes 2 and 5). Through September~~circumstances. As of June 30, ~~2021, the Company had executed modifications under this guidance on~~2022, 1 loan with an outstanding loan ~~balances~~balance of ~~$145.6 million that carried accrued interest of $926 thousand. Of the total modifications executed, outstanding loan balances of $748~~$137 thousand remained subject to modified terms and carried accrued interest of ~~$34 thousand as of September 30, 2021. The Company intends to continue to follow the guidance of the banking regulators in making TDR determinations.~~

Note ~~10.~~9. Subordinated ~~Debentures and~~ Notes

In August 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $16.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 (the "Notes") to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes ~~will~~ initially bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 3.25% per annum, until September 1, 2026. From and including September 1, 2026, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount due will reset quarterly to the then current three-month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 263 basis points. The Company may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of September 1, 2026 but not generally prior thereto, and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part. The Notes ~~have been structured to~~ qualify as Tier 2 capital instruments for the Company under bank regulatory guidelines.

The Company used the proceeds to provide additional capital support to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Bank, to support growth and for other general corporate purposes.

~~At September 30, 2021, the~~The unamortized issuance costs of the Notes were ~~$336 thousand.~~$312 thousand and $329 thousand at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, $3~~2022, $9 thousand and $17 thousand in issuance costs were recorded in interest expense. The Notes are presented net of unamortized issuance costs in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note ~~11.~~10. Other Comprehensive ~~Income~~Loss

Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities AFS that are not OTTI, are not reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The cumulative effect of such items, net of tax effect, is reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets (Accumulated OCI). OCI, along with net income, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income or loss.

Note ~~12.~~11. Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, as guidance for accounting for assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This standard defines fair value as the price that would be received, without adjustment for transaction costs, to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance in FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 20

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

•Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value:

Investment securities AFS: ~~The~~Certain U.S. Treasury notes have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1. However, the majority of the Company’s AFS securities have been valued utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows.

Mutual funds: Mutual funds have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1.

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 23~~

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below:


		Fair Value Measurements									Fair Value Measurements
		Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)			Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Certain other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods after initial recognition, such as collateral-dependent

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 21

impaired loans, MSRs and OREO, were not considered material at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company has not elected to apply the fair value method to any financial assets or liabilities other than those situations where other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements.

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Management’s estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments may be excluded from disclosure requirements. Thus, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the actual underlying fair value of such instruments of the Company.

As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values and related carrying amounts of the Company's significant financial instruments were as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis focuses on those factors that, in management's view, had a material effect on the financial position of the Company as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and its results of operations for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. This discussion is being presented to provide a narrative explanation of the consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with other financial data appearing elsewhere in this filing and with the Company's ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any events after ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 which would materially affect the information presented.

Please refer to Note 1 in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at Part I, Item 1 of this Report for definitions of acronyms, abbreviations and capitalized terms used throughout the following discussion and analysis.

CAUTIONARY ADVICE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company, "we," "us," "our," may from time to time make written or oral statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, estimates of future economic performance or conditions and assumptions relating thereto. The Company may include forward-looking statements in its filings with the SEC, in its reports to stockholders, including this quarterly report, in press releases, other written materials, and in statements made by senior management to analysts, rating agencies, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others.

Forward-looking statements ~~reflect management's~~are based on the current assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to the beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions of management and the financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business are ~~subject to uncertainties, both general and specific, and risk exists~~only expectations of future results. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the Company’s forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company’s actual results will differ from those predictions, forecasts, projections and other estimates contained in forward-looking statements. These risks cannot be readily quantified. When management uses any of the words “believes,” “expects,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “targets,” “goals,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” “should,” or similar expressions, they are making forward-looking statements. Many possible events or factors, including those beyond the control of management, could ~~affect the future financial results and performance of the Company.~~

~~Factors that may cause results or performance to~~ differ materially from those ~~expressed~~projected in the forward-looking statements ~~include, but are not limited to:~~

•~~General~~as a result of, among other factors, changes in interest rates; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; general economic conditions ~~and financial instability, either nationally, internationally, regionally or locally;~~

•~~Increased competitive pressures, including those from tax-advantaged credit unions and other financial service providers in our northern Vermont and New Hampshire market area~~on a national basis or in the ~~financial services industry generally, from increasing consolidation and integration of financial service providers, and from~~local markets in which the Company operates; changes in ~~technology~~consumer behavior due to changing political, business and ~~delivery systems;~~

•~~Interest rates change in a way that puts pressure on the Company's margins,~~economic conditions, including concerns about inflation, or ~~that results in lower fee income and lower gain on sale of real estate loans,~~legislative or ~~that increases our interest costs;~~

•Changes in laws or government rules, or the way in which courts or government agencies interpret or implement those laws or rules, that increase our costs of doing business or otherwise adversely affect our business;

•~~Further~~regulatory initiatives; changes in ~~federal or state tax policy;~~

•~~Changes~~the value of securities and other assets in ~~our level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs;~~

•~~Changes in depositor behavior resulting in movement of funds out of bank deposits and into the stock market or other higher-yielding investments;~~

•~~Changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon relevant regulatory and accounting requirements;~~

•~~Changes in information technology that require increased capital spending or that result in new or increased risks;~~

•~~Changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing and savings habits;~~

•~~Changes in accounting principles, including those governing the manner of estimating our credit risk and calculating our loan loss reserve;~~

•~~Further changes to the regulations governing the calculation of~~ the Company’s ~~regulatory capital ratios;~~

•~~Increased competitive pressures affecting~~investment portfolio; increases in loan and lease default and charge-off rates; the ~~ability~~adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses; decreases in deposit levels that necessitate increases in borrowing to fund loans and investments; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters and future pandemics; changes in regulation, war, terrorism, civil unrest; due to changes in economic assumptions and adverse economic developments; the ~~Company to attract, develop~~risk that goodwill and ~~retain employees;~~

•~~Increased cybersecurity threats; and~~

•~~The effect of~~intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; and changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements; and the ~~United States monetary~~other risks and ~~fiscal policies, including interest rate policies and regulation of~~uncertainties detailed in the ~~money supply by the FRB.~~

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 27~~

Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

In addition, statements about the continuing and potential future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including emergence of virus variants, on the Company's financial position and results of operations reflect inherent uncertainties and may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

•the continuing ability of our employees to work remotely;

•our ability to staff our branches and keep our branches open;

•the continuing strength of our capital and liquidity positions;

•our continued ability to access sources of contingent liquidity;

•the continuing strength of the asset quality in our lending portfolios; and

•the ~~potential~~ effectiveness of relief measures and programs for customers affected by COVID-19.

When evaluating forward-looking statements to make decisions about the Company and our stock, investors and others are cautioned to consider these and other risks and uncertainties, and are reminded not to place undue reliance on such statements. Investors should not consider the foregoing list of factors to be a complete list of risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them to reflect new or changed information or events, except as may be required by federal securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure. The SEC has exempted from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. However, two non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by financial institutions, namely tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin (as presented in the tables in the section labeled Yields Earned and Rates Paid), have not been specifically exempted by the SEC, and may therefore constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G. We are unable to state with certainty whether the SEC would regard those measures as subject to Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. However, that information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the reported amount of assets, liabilities, capital, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, management has identified the accounting policies and judgments most critical to the Company. They include establishing the amount of ALL, evaluating our investment securities for OTTI, and valuing our intangible assets. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from estimates and have a material impact on the carrying value of assets, liabilities, or capital, and/or the results of operations of the Company.

Please refer to the Company's ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report ~~on Form 10-K~~ for a more in-depth discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies. There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies since the filing of that report.

OVERVIEW

~~In August 2021,~~Several global conditions have created uncertainty about the ~~Company completed~~future environment that will continue to evolve and impact our business and the ~~private placement~~businesses of ~~$16.5 million~~our customers in ~~aggregate principal amount~~future periods. U.S. economic activity slowed during the first half of ~~fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 (the Notes) to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes will initially bear interest, payable semi-annually,~~2022 with U.S. Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") contracting at ~~the~~an estimated annual rate of ~~3.25% per annum, until September 1, 2026. From~~0.9 percent in the second quarter of 2022. Repercussions from the Russia-Ukraine war along with the economic impacts that continue to result from the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted supply chains and ~~including September 1, 2026,~~increased energy prices. There has also been a significant rise in inflation, which reached a 40-year high in June. The personal consumption expenditures price index increased to an estimated annual rate of 6.8 percent in the second quarter of 2022, well above the FRB's target inflation rate. The FRB increased short-term interest rates in 2022 by a total of 225 bps through July and has announced that it will likely increase short-term interest rates further during the remaining months of 2022 in order to fight inflation.

Concerns over interest rate ~~applicable~~levels, energy prices, domestic and global policy issues, trade policy in the U.S. and geopolitical events, as well as the implications of those events on the markets in general, further add to the ~~outstanding principal amount~~global uncertainty. There is also a risk that interest rate increases to fight inflation could lead to a prolonged recession. Interest rate levels and energy prices, in combination with global economic conditions, fiscal and monetary policy and the level of regulatory and government scrutiny of financial institutions will continue to impact our results in 2022 and beyond.

Consolidated net income decreased $60 thousand, or 2.0%, to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 due ~~will reset quarterly~~ to the ~~then current three-month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 263 basis points. The Company may, at its option, beginning with~~combined effects of a decrease in noninterest income of $974 thousand, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $752 thousand, and decreases in the provision for loan losses of $75 thousand and noninterest expenses of $94 thousand.

Consolidated net income decreased $454 thousand, or 7.7%, to $5.4 million for the the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the combined effects of an increase in net interest ~~payment date~~income of ~~September 1, 2026 but not generally prior thereto,~~$1.3 million and ~~on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem~~decreases in the ~~Notes,~~provision for loan losses of $225 thousand and income tax expense of $112 thousand, which were more than offset by a decrease in ~~whole or~~noninterest income of $1.5 million and an increase in ~~part.~~

~~The Company used the proceeds to provide additional capital to Union to support its growth and for other general corporate purposes.~~noninterest expenses of $567 thousand.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 2825

Consolidated net income decreased $222 thousand, or 5.4%, to $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2020 due to the combined effect of an increase in net interest income of $1.0 million and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $800 thousand, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $1.3 million and increases of $553 thousand in noninterest expenses and $123 thousand in income tax expense.

Net interest income increased ~~$3.0~~$1.3 million, or ~~12.8%~~7.6%, to ~~$26.5~~$18.6 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$23.5~~$17.3 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Interest income increased ~~$1.8 million~~$732 thousand primarily due to higher volumes of earning assets despite lower yields and ~~recognition of higher~~$955 thousand less in PPP fee income ~~from PPP loans for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.~~between periods. Interest expense was ~~$2.8~~$1.5 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$4.0~~$2.1 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, reflecting lower rates paid on deposits despite an increase in ~~interest-bearing~~average interest bearing liabilities between periods of ~~$113.9~~$52.5 million. Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 also includes $284 thousand related to the issuance of subordinated notes that were issued in August of 2021.

The was no provision for loan losses ~~was~~for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a provision of $225 thousand ~~for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1.6 million~~ for the same period in 2020. The provision for loan losses was higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to management's adjustment to the economic qualitative factors utilized to estimate the allowance for loan losses due to the economic uncertainty at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.2021. There were no changes to the methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses during either of the ~~nine~~six month comparison periods.

Total noninterest income amounted to ~~$10.0~~$4.2 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$11.0~~$5.8 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, a decrease of ~~$1.1~~$1.5 million, or ~~9.6%~~26.7%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in sales of qualifying residential loans. There were ~~$164.2~~$34.4 million in residential loan sales with net gains of ~~$4.0 million~~$300 thousand for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to residential loan sales of ~~$187.5~~$85.2 million with net gains of ~~$5.4~~$2 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease in ~~the volume of~~ loan sales ~~reflects~~for the comparison periods was due to the combination of management's ~~decision~~intent of increasing the in house residential mortgage loan portfolio balances and the rapid increase in interest rates reducing the premium able to ~~slow sales in the first quarter of 2021 to utilize some excess liquidity and increase interest income~~be obtained on ~~loans.~~sales.

Total noninterest expenses were ~~$24.4~~$16.4 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$22.3~~$15.8 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Increases of ~~$886~~$294 thousand in salaries and wages, ~~$147~~$228 thousand in employee benefits, ~~$276~~$180 thousand in equipment expenses, ~~$785~~partially offset by decreases of $15 thousand in occupancy expenses and $120 thousand in other expenses, ~~and $18 thousand in occupancy expenses,~~ occurred between the ~~nine~~six month comparison periods of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had total consolidated assets of ~~$1.16~~$1.19 billion, including gross loans and loans held for sale (total loans) of ~~$790.0~~$821.8 million, deposits of ~~$1.04~~$1.10 billion, ~~borrowed funds of $7.0 million,~~ subordinated debt of $16.2 million and stockholders' equity of ~~$83.7~~$59.9 million.

As of September 30, 2021, Union had originated a combined total of $102.1 million in PPP loans since inception of the program in 2020. As of September 30, 2021, $73.9 million in PPP loans had been forgiven by the SBA. Union's borrowers have received 100% forgiveness on all applications submitted to date. Interest income and origination fees from PPP loans were $777 thousand and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, there was $1.2 million remaining in PPP origination fee income to be recognized in future periods.

The Company's total capital ~~increased~~decreased from ~~$80.9~~$84.3 million at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~$83.7~~$59.9 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. This ~~increase~~decrease primarily reflects ~~net income~~an increase of ~~$9.8 million for the first nine months of 2021, offset by decreases of $2.8~~$26.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive ~~income~~loss and regular cash dividends declared of ~~$4.4 million.~~$3.1 million offset by net income of $5.4 million for the first six months of 2022. (See Capital Resources on page ~~44.~~42.) These changes also resulted in a decrease in the Company's book value per share to $13.34 from $18.77 as of December 31, 2021.

Return on average assets is a financial metric often utilized as an indicator of a financial institution's performance. The Company's return on average assets decreased 12 bps and 17 bps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to an increase in average assets of $114.2 million and $116.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income. The largest component of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income received from earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by various factors including, but not limited to changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies, the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and the level of nonperforming assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets.

~~The fed funds target range remains~~As mentioned above, the FRB has increased short term interest rates 150 bps during the first half of 2022 and another 75 bps in July with additional increases likely for the the remaining months of 2022. Also, the 10-year treasury rate increased from 1.512% at 0%the beginning of the year to ~~0.25% since~~2.972% at the ~~reductions made~~end of June, to 2.889% at the end of July. These increases in interest rates have not yet significantly impacted asset yields or rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. However, competitive pressures and further increases in short term rates by the ~~Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)~~FRB may result in ~~March 2020. The most recent meeting~~increases in interest rates paid on customer deposit accounts which may impact future earnings of the FOMC, held on November 3, 2021, indicated that this low target range will remain in effect, but they are committed to using its full range of tools to support the economy. The FOMC also decided to begin tapering net asset purchases in November and is prepared to adjust the pace of purchases if warranted by changes in the economic outlook.Company.

The average yield on average earning assets was ~~3.70%~~3.53% for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~4.07%~~3.77% for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, a decrease of 3724 bps despite an increase in average earning assets of ~~$139.3~~$129.3 million. ~~The~~Although interest rates have been increasing during 2022, the prolonged low interest rate environment ~~continues~~which prevailed throughout the first quarter of 2022 continued to put downward pressure on asset ~~yields.~~yields for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income on investment securities increased ~~$200~~$649 thousand between the three month comparison periods due to an increase in the average balances of ~~$71.7~~$146.0 million, ~~despite a decrease~~and an increase of 554 bps in the average yield. The average balance of PPP loans was ~~$39.8~~$4.9 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 with an average yield of ~~7.74%~~12.63%, which takes into account the

income on loans, excluding PPP loans, increased ~~$22~~$508 thousand between the three month comparison periods due to an increase in the average volume of loans outstanding of ~~$25.7~~$54.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of 186 bps in the average yield.

Interest expense for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 decreased ~~$452~~$246 thousand compared to the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020~~2021 due to lower rates paid on customer deposit accounts, despite increases in average deposit balances of ~~$78.7~~$37 million, partially offset by the addition of $142 thousand of interest expense on subordinated notes with an average balance of $16.2 million. The increase in average customer deposit balances is due to an increase in the money supply from proceeds of PPP loans, government stimulus payments, and other economic recovery payments. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 3014 bps to 0.35% for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~0.65%~~0.49% for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. The average rates paid on interest bearing checking accounts and savings and money market accounts decreased 103 bps and 2718 bps, respectively, between the ~~third~~second quarter comparison periods. The Company decreased interest rates paid on deposit accounts early in 2021 and again in June of 2021 and implemented a tiered rate structure in these accounts which ~~has~~ remained in place as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The decreases in these interest rates resulted in ~~decreases~~a decrease in interest expense of ~~$26 thousand on interest bearing checking accounts and $201~~$183 thousand on savings and money market accounts between the three month comparison periods. Interest expense on time deposits decreased ~~$279~~$148 thousand due to decreases in the average volume of ~~$32.5~~$16.6 million and 6444 bps in the average rate paid during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Management believes that the decrease in the average volume is primarily due to customers transferring proceeds from matured CDs into non-maturity deposits in hopes of obtaining higher yields in future ~~periods. The remaining~~periods as well as some funds leaving Union to seek a higher ~~rate paying CD specials offered in prior years matured in the third quarter of 2021.~~return. Higher customer deposit balances reduced reliance on wholesale funding, as evidenced by decreases between the three month comparison periods of ~~$2.4~~$7.2 million in the average outstanding balance of borrowed funds and $2$55 thousand in related interest expense. The issuance of subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2021 resulted in an average balance of ~~$8.2~~$16.2 million for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and an average rate of ~~2.71%~~3.52% and interest expense of ~~$56~~$142 thousand.

The net interest spread decreased 710 bps to ~~3.35%~~3.18% for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, from ~~3.42%~~3.28% for the same period last year, reflecting the net effect of the 3014 bps decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and the 3724 bps decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets between periods. The net interest margin decreased 1312 bps during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period last year as a result of the changes discussed above.

Net interest income was ~~$26.5~~$18.6 million, on a fully tax equivalent basis for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$23.5~~$17.3 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, an increase of ~~$3.0~~$1.3 million, or ~~12.8%~~7.6%. The average volume of earning assets increased ~~$185.6~~$124.5 million and the average yield on earning assets decreased 5328 bps to ~~3.74%~~3.49% compared to ~~4.27%~~3.77% for the comparison period. Interest income on investment securities increased ~~$324 thousand~~$1.3 million between the ~~nine~~six month comparison periods due to an increase in the average balances of ~~$58.2~~$152.9 million, despite a decrease of 713 bps in the average yield. Average loans, excluding PPP loans, increased ~~$55.4~~$55.8 million, or ~~7.90%~~7.36%, to ~~$756.7~~$813.4 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021. Despite an~~2022. The increase in the average loan volume resulted in $641 thousand increase in interest income on loans ~~decreased $88 thousand~~ between periods, ~~due to the~~despite a decrease in the average yield. As discussed above, the current interest rate environment and competition for quality loans ~~continues to~~ put downward pressure on loan yields. Management expects loan yields to improve over the next quarter as new loans are being booked at higher rates. The average balance of PPP loans for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$60.4~~$7.1 million with an average yield of ~~5.57%~~13.16%, compared to ~~$40.1~~$70.9 million with an average yield of ~~2.84%~~4.96% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. As mentioned above, the average yield on PPP loans includes the interest earned at 1.0% on the loan as well as origination fee income recognized during the respective periods.

The average cost of funds, which is tied primarily to customer deposit accounts, decreased 3117 bps to ~~0.47%~~0.36% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~0.78%~~0.53% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Interest expense decreased ~~$1.2 million,~~$584 thousand, to ~~$2.8~~$1.5 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$4.0~~$2.1 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities despite an increase in average balances of ~~$113.9~~$52.5 million between periods. ~~Should the low interest rate environment persist, management~~Management expects ~~further reduction in~~ the average cost of funds ~~in future periods due~~ to ~~further lowering of~~increase over the next quarter as customers may expect higher rates on their deposit accounts prompted by the increase in interest rates ~~on time deposit and savings account products.~~executed by the Fed. The issuance of subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2021 resulted in an average balance of ~~$3.3~~$16.2 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and an average rate of ~~2.28%~~3.54% and interest expense of ~~$56~~$284 thousand.

The net interest spread decreased 2211 bps to ~~3.27%~~3.13% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, from ~~3.49%~~3.24% for the same period last year, reflecting the net effect of the 3117 bps decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and the 5328 bps decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets between periods. The net interest margin decreased 2713 bps for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period last year as a result of the changes discussed above.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which changes in average interest rates earned and paid (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) and changes in volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. For each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to:

•changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate);

•changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior volume); and

•total change in rate and volume.

Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

The significant changes in noninterest expense for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same ~~periods~~period in ~~2020~~2021 are described below:

•Salaries and wages. ~~The increases in salaries~~Salaries and wages ~~of $200 thousand and $886~~decreased $33 thousand for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, respectively,~~2022 compared to the same ~~periods~~period in ~~2020 were~~2021 primarily due to employee turnover and the increased number of open positions that resulted during the second quarter of 2022, a reduction in commissions earned by mortgage loan originators and the deferral of loan origination costs, partially offset by annual salary adjustments. The increase of $294 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020 in addition~~2021 was primarily due to annual increases in ~~employee's~~employee salaries and ~~wages~~the deferral of loan origination costs, partially offset by a reduction in 2021 and an increase in the accrual amounts for the annual incentive plan payments. Also, the number of full time equivalent employees has increased from 196 at September 30, 2020 to 199 as of September 30, 2021.commissions earned by mortgage loan originators.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had total consolidated assets of ~~$1.16~~$1.19 billion, including gross loans and loans held for sale (total loans) of ~~$790.0~~$821.8 million, investment securities AFS of $261.7 million, deposits of ~~$1.04~~$1.10 billion, ~~borrowed funds of $7.0 million,~~ subordinated ~~debentures and~~ notes of $16.2 million and stockholders' equity of ~~$83.7~~$59.9 million. The Company’s total assets at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021 increased $64.7~~2022 decreased $13.5 million, or ~~5.9%~~1.1%, from ~~$1.09~~$1.21 billion at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, attributable to the seasonal reduction in municipal loans discussed below, and increased ~~$149.2~~$125.8 million, or ~~14.8%~~11.8%, compared to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

June 30th marks the end of the fiscal year for the majority of municipal customers, including school districts, and several customers are required to reduce their outstanding short term debts to zero for one day during their fiscal year. The one day requirement traditionally occurs annually on June 30th and as a result the Company experiences a decrease in outstanding loan balances. In many cases monies are transferred from corresponding deposit accounts to pay off these debts so the Company experiences a corresponding decrease in deposit balances as well. These decreases are short term in nature as the loans and deposits for the next municipal fiscal year are recorded within the first few days of July. In July 2022, the Company recorded $70.2 million in new municipal loans.

Net loans and loans held for sale ~~decreased $13.5~~increased $21.4 million, or ~~1.7%~~2.7%, to ~~$781.5~~$814.6 million, representing ~~67.5%~~68.3% of total assets at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$794.9~~$793.2 million, or ~~72.7%~~65.8% of total assets at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. (See Loans Held for Sale and Loan Portfolio below.)

Total deposits increased ~~$46.3~~$8.0 million, or ~~4.7%~~0.7%, to ~~$1.04~~$1.103 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, from ~~$994.3 million~~$1.095 billion at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, despite the seasonal decline in municipal deposits discussed above. There were increases in noninterest bearing deposits of ~~$37.7~~$72.3 million, or ~~17.5%, and interest bearing deposits of $43.1 million, or 6.8%~~27.3%, which were partially offset by ~~a decrease~~decreases in interest bearing deposits of $60.7 million, or 8.4%, primarily attributable to the seasonality of municipal deposits, and time deposits of ~~$34.4~~$3.6 million, or ~~24.3%~~3.4%. (See average balances and rates in the Yields Earned and Rates Paid table on pages 3229 and ~~33.)~~

~~Borrowed funds, which consist of FHLB advances, were $7.0 million at September 30, 2021 and $7.2 million at December 31, 2020. (See~~ ~~Borrowings~~ ~~on page 43.~~30.)

~~Total stockholders’ equity increased $2.9 million to $83.7 million at September 30, 2021 from $80.9 million at December 31, 2020. (See~~ ~~Capital Resources~~ ~~on page 44.)~~

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 3734

Stockholders’ equity decreased from $84.3 million at December 31, 2021 to $59.9 million at June 30, 2022, reflecting an increase of $26.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to a decrease in the fair market value of the Company's AFS investment securities, cash dividends declared of $3.1 million and stock repurchases of $79 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2022. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $5.4 million for the first six months of 2022, an increase of $236 thousand from stock based compensation and a $28 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. (See Capital Resources on page 42.)

Changes in ~~the composition of~~ the Company's loan portfolio from December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (see table below) resulted primarily from an increase in the volume of residential, construction and commercial real estate loans originated, partially offset by a seasonal decrease in the municipal portfolio discussed above, and a decrease in the commercial portfolio related to PPP loan forgiveness and a decrease in the municipal portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the volume of residential loans originated.

The Company originates and sells qualified residential mortgage loans in various secondary market avenues to mitigate long-term interest rate risk and generate fee income, with a majority of sales made to the FHLMC/Freddie Mac, generally with servicing rights retained. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company serviced ~~an $873.3~~a $936.0 million residential real estate mortgage portfolio, of which ~~$17.8~~$3.8 million was held for sale and approximately ~~$629.7~~$628.0 million of which was serviced for unaffiliated third parties.

~~During~~In an effort to utilize some excess liquidity along with the rapid increase in the 10-year treasury rate in 2022 and the related impact on the pricing of loans held for sale, the Company elected to retain the majority of residential real estate loans originated in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2021, the~~2022. The Company sold ~~$164.2~~$34.4 million of qualified residential real estate loans to the secondary market ~~to mitigate long-term interest rate risk and to generate fee income,~~during the first six months of 2022 compared to sales of ~~$187.5~~$85.2 million during the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020.~~2021.

Customers continue to refinance existing mortgages~~activity, although there has been a decline in ~~order to obtain lower~~refinancing activity with the increase in interest rates. Despite low housing inventory, purchase activity continues to be ~~strong.~~strong and construction loan activity is increasing as well. The Company originates and sells FHA, VA, and RD residential mortgage loans, and also has an Unconditional Direct Endorsement Approval from HUD which allows the Company to approve FHA loans originated in any of its Vermont or New Hampshire markets without needing prior HUD underwriting approval. The Company sells FHA, VA and RD loans as originated with servicing released. Some of the government backed loans qualify for zero down payments without geographic or income restrictions. These loan products increase the Company's ability to serve the borrowing needs of residents in the communities served, including low and moderate income borrowers, while the loan sales and government guaranty mitigate the Company's exposure to credit risk.

There was ~~$31.8~~$6.7 million guaranteed under these various programs at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 on an aggregate balance of ~~$33.1~~$7.9 million in subject loans.

There were no commercial loans sold in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$131 thousand in commercial loans were sold in the first nine months of 2020.~~2021. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the sale of the principal portion of these loans as they occur.

The unamortized balance of MSRs on loans sold with servicing retained was ~~$2.5~~$2.2 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, with an estimated market value in excess of the carrying value as of such date.

Asset Quality. The Company, like all financial institutions, is exposed to certain credit risks, including those related to the value of the collateral that secures its loans and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. Consistent application of the Company’s conservative loan policies has helped to mitigate this risk and has been prudent for both the Company and its customers. Management closely monitors the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, OREO and OAO for potential problems and reports to the Company’s and Union’s Board at regularly scheduled meetings. Board approved policies set forth portfolio diversification levels to mitigate concentration risk and the Company participates large credits out to other financial institutions to further mitigate that risk.

There was one residential real estate loan totaling $28 thousand in ~~Vermont related to the COVID-19 emergency was lifted effective July 15,~~process of foreclosure at June 30, 2022 and no loans in process of foreclosure at December 31, 2021. The aggregate interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans approximated ~~$492~~$437 thousand as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$420~~$504 thousand as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company had loans rated substandard that were on performing status totaling ~~$1.2 million~~$744 thousand at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$2.2 million~~$769 thousand at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. In management's view, substandard loans represent a higher degree of risk of becoming nonperforming loans in the future.

In March 2020, the federal banking agencies issued guidance, confirmed by the FASB, that certain short-term modifications made to loans to ~~a borrower~~borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and government shutdown orders would not be considered TDRs under specified ~~circumstances (See Notes 2 and 5). Through September~~circumstances. As of June 30, ~~2021, the Company had executed modifications under this guidance on~~2022, one loan with an outstanding loan ~~balances~~balance of ~~$145.6 million that carried accrued interest of $926 thousand. Of the total modifications executed, outstanding residential loan balances of $748~~$137 thousand remained subject to modified terms and carried accrued interest of ~~$34 thousand as of September 30, 2021. The Company intends to continue to follow the guidance of the banking regulators in making TDR determinations.~~$1 thousand.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Some of the Company’s loan customers ultimately do not make all of their contractually scheduled payments, whether due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, requiring the Company to charge off a portion or all of the remaining principal balance due. The Company maintains an ALL to absorb such losses. The ALL is maintained at a level believed by management to be appropriate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date; however, actual loan losses may vary from current estimates. The Company's policy and methodologies for establishing the ALL, described in the Company's ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report did not change during the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2021.~~2022. The Company's ALL was ~~$8.6~~$8.3 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$8.3 million as of~~ December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Impaired loans, including ~~$2.4~~$1.9 million of TDR loans, were ~~$7.0~~$5.4 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, with government guaranties of ~~$350~~$347 thousand and a specific reserve amount allocated of ~~$46~~$23 thousand. Impaired loans, including ~~$2.9~~$2.2 million of TDR loans, were ~~$4.6~~$6.8 million at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, with government guaranties of ~~$514~~$423 thousand and a specific reserve amount allocated of ~~$58~~$46 thousand. Based on management's evaluation of the Company's historical loss experience on substandard commercial loans, commercial loan relationships with aggregate balances greater than $500 thousand are evaluated individually for impairment, with a specific reserve allocated when warranted. Commercial loans with balances under this threshold are collectively evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement or have been identified as impaired as part of a larger customer relationship. The specific reserve amount allocated to individually identified impaired loans decreased ~~$12~~$23 thousand as a result of the ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 impairment evaluation.

Notwithstanding the categories shown in the table above or any specific allocation under the Company's ALL methodology, all funds in the ALL are available to absorb loan losses in the portfolio, regardless of loan category or specific allocation.

Management believes, in its best estimate, that the ALL at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 is appropriate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of such date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods which could be greater than the size of the ALL at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. In addition, our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ALL. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the ALL based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large adjustment to the ALL for losses in future periods could require increased provisions to replenish the ALL, which could negatively affect earnings.

Investment Activities. During the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2021,~~2022, investment securities classified as AFS, which are carried at fair value, decreased $6.2 million to $261.7 million, comprising 22.0% of total assets, compared to $267.8 million, or 22.2% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Despite this decrease in the overall fair market value of the investment portfolio, the amortized cost of investment securities classified as AFS increased ~~$78.4~~$27.8 million ~~to $184.2 million, comprising 15.9%~~during the first six months of ~~total assets, compared to $105.8 million, or 9.7% of total assets at December 31, 2020.~~2022. The Company used excess liquidity to increase the investment portfolio during 2021 and the first six months of 2022 to obtain higher yields than what would have been earned at the ~~current~~ Federal Funds rate.

Net unrealized losses ~~for~~in the Company’s AFS investment securities portfolio were ~~$238 thousand~~$35.9 million as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to net unrealized ~~gains~~losses of ~~$3.3~~$2.0 million as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company’s accumulated OCI component of stockholders’ equity at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 reflected cumulative net unrealized losses on investment securities of ~~$188 thousand.~~$28.4 million. There were no securities classified as HTM at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The rapid increase in the 10-year treasury rate in 2022 has negatively impacted the fair market value of the investment portfolio as this index is typically tied to mortgage-backed securities. No declines in value were deemed by management to be OTT at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Deterioration in credit quality and/or imbalances in liquidity that may result from changes in financial market conditions might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and the amount of gains or losses ultimately realized on the sale of such securities and may also increase the potential that unrealized losses will be designated as OTT in future periods, resulting in write-downs and charges to earnings. ~~There~~

Investment securities AFS with a carrying amount of $479 thousand and $608 thousand were ~~no investment securities~~ pledged as ~~of September~~collateral for public unit deposits or for other purposes as required or permitted by law at June 30, ~~2021 or~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~

During the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2021,~~2022, average total deposits grew ~~$199.0~~$113.9 million, or ~~24.3%~~11.2%, compared to the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, with growth in all categories except time ~~deposits.~~deposits and money market accounts. The increase in average balances for nontime deposits was attributable to ~~proceeds from PPP loans deposited into customer accounts at Union,~~ customer's receipt of government stimulus payments, and the general reduction in spending by customers due to COVID-19. The decrease in the average balance of money market accounts is related to the seasonality of municipal deposits as discussed above and the average balances of time deposits decreased due to the maturing of higher rate paying time deposit accounts, ~~have matured and~~with customers ~~have~~ primarily ~~transferred~~transferring those funds into other deposit accounts.

The Company participates in CDARS, which permits ~~the Company~~it to offer full deposit insurance coverage to its customers by exchanging deposit balances with other CDARS participants. CDARS also provides the Company with an additional source of funding and liquidity through the purchase of deposits. There were no purchased CDARS deposits as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. There were $13.6 million of time deposits of $250,000 or less on the balance sheet at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$14.2 million at~~ December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, which were exchanged with other CDARS participants.

The Company also participates in the ICS program, a service through which it can offer its customers demand or savings products with access to unlimited FDIC insurance, while receiving reciprocal deposits from other FDIC-insured banks. Like the exchange of certificate of deposit accounts through CDARS, exchange of demand or savings deposits through ICS provides a depositor with full deposit insurance coverage of excess balances, thereby helping the Company retain the full amount of the deposit on its balance sheet. As with the CDARS program, in addition to reciprocal deposits, participating banks may also purchase one-way ICS deposits. There were ~~$116.1~~$69.5 million and ~~$146.2~~$155.3 million in exchanged ICS demand and money market

A provision of the Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised FDIC deposit insurance coverage to $250 thousand per depositor per insured depository institution for each account ownership category. ~~At September 30, 2021, the Company had deposit accounts~~Uninsured deposits have been estimated to include deposits with ~~less~~balances greater than ~~the maximum FDIC insured deposit amount of $250 thousand totaling $695.6 million, or 66.8% of total deposits. An additional $32.0 million of municipal deposits were over~~ the FDIC insurance coverage limit ~~at September~~of $250 thousand. This estimate is based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting requirements. At June 30, ~~2021 and~~2022, the Company had estimated uninsured deposit accounts totaling $419.1 million, or 38.0% of total deposits. Uninsured deposits include $29.7 million of municipal deposits that were collateralized under applicable state regulations by investment securities or letters of credit issued by the FHLB at June 30, 2022, as described below under Borrowings.

Borrowings. ~~The Company's borrowed funds at September 30, 2021 were comprised of borrowings~~Advances from the FHLB are another key source of ~~$7.0 million~~funds to support earning assets. These funds are also used to manage the Bank's interest rate and liquidity risk exposures. The Company had no FHLB advances at ~~a weighted average rate of 3.13%. At~~June 30, 2022, and December 31, ~~2020, borrowed funds were comprised of borrowings from the FHLB of $7.2 million at a weighted average rate of 3.07%.~~2021.

The Company has the authority, up to its available borrowing capacity with the FHLB, to collateralize public unit deposits with letters of credit issued by the FHLB. FHLB letters of credit in the amount of ~~$32.7~~$35.7 million and ~~$23.6~~$37.5 million were utilized as collateral for these deposits at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Total fees paid by the Company in connection with the issuance of these letters of credit were ~~$23~~$7 thousand and ~~$39~~$15 thousand for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 respectively, and $7 thousand and ~~$23~~$16 thousand for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

In August 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $16.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 ~~(the Notes)~~ to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes ~~will~~ initially bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 3.25% per annum, until September 1, 2026. From and including September 1, 2026, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount due will reset quarterly to the then current three-month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 263 basis points. The Notes are presented net of unamortized issuance costs of ~~$336~~$312 thousand and $329 thousand at ~~September~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to implement its strategic objectives. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, commitments to participate in or sell loans, commitments to buy or sell securities, certificates of deposit or other investment instruments and risk-sharing commitments or guarantees on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instruments.

The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, the contractual or notional amounts do not represent the Company’s exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the risk of interest rate cap agreements through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures. The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

The following table details the contractual or notional amount of financial instruments that represented credit risk at the balance sheet dates:

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally have a fixed expiration date or other termination clause and may

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 43~~

require payment of a fee. Since many of the loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and not all credit lines will be utilized, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Lines of credit incur seasonal volume fluctuations due to the nature of some customers' businesses, such as ~~tourism and maple syrup products production.~~tourism. The large increase in commitments to originate loans at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 from December 31, ~~2020~~2021 is primarily the result of ~~a $28.8~~the fiscal cycle of local municipalities and school districts, with $70.2 million ~~increase in~~committed to them on June 30, 2022 for their fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022. In addition, commitments to originate ~~commercial real estate and commercial~~residential construction ~~loans.~~loans increased $10.2 million over December 31, 2021. The increase in unused lines of credit at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021 from~~2022 compared to December 31, ~~2020~~2021 is primarily related to an increase in unused residential construction ~~loan availability~~lines of ~~$17.7~~credit of $10.6 million and an increase in unused municipal lines of credit of $5.5 million.

The Company did not hold any derivative or hedging instruments at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

In addition to commitments arising from the Company’s financial instruments, in the normal course of business the Company enters into contractual commitments from time to time for the purchase or lease of property, including real property for its banking premises.

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measurement of the Company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund deposit withdrawals, repay borrowings, fund investment and lending activities, purchase and lease commitments, and for other general business purposes. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. The Company’s principal sources of funds are deposits; whole-sale funding options including purchased deposits, amortization, prepayment and maturity of loans, investment securities, interest bearing deposits and other short-term investments; sales of securities and loans AFS; earnings; and funds provided from operations. Contractual principal repayments on loans have been a relatively predictable source of ~~funds; however, payment deferrals approved for borrowers as a result of COVID-19 will delay receipt of contractual payments.~~funds. Deposit flows and loan and investment prepayments are less predictable and can be significantly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. Managing liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and earnings stability.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Union, as a member of FHLB, had access to unused lines of credit up to ~~$98.8~~$138.4 million over and above the ~~$40.7~~$36.7 million in combined FHLB borrowings and other credit subject to collateralization ~~subject~~and to the purchase of required FHLB Class B common stock and evaluation by the FHLB of the underlying collateral available. This line of credit can be used for either short-term or long-term liquidity or other funding needs.

Union also maintains an IDEAL Way Line of Credit with the FHLB. The total line available was $551 thousand at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. There were no borrowings against this line of credit as of such date. Interest on this line is chargeable at a rate determined by the FHLB and payable monthly. Should Union utilize this line of credit, qualified portions of the loan and investment portfolios would collateralize these borrowings.

In addition to its borrowing arrangements with the FHLB, Union maintains a pre-approved federal funds line of credit totaling $15.0 million with an upstream correspondent bank, a master brokered deposit agreement with a brokerage firm, and one-way buy options with CDARS and ICS. In addition to the funding sources available to Union, the Company maintains a $5.0 million revolving line of credit with a correspondent bank. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there were no purchased ICS or CDARS deposits, no retail brokered deposits, and no outstanding advances on the Union or Company correspondent lines.

Union's investment and residential loan portfolios also provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. Additional contingent liquidity sources are available with further access to the brokered deposit market. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity

plan. Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor needs in the present economic environment. However, any projections of future cash needs and flows are subject to substantial uncertainty, including factors outside the Company's control.

Capital Resources. Capital management is designed to maintain an optimum level of capital in a cost-effective structure that meets target regulatory ratios, supports management’s internal assessment of economic capital, funds the Company’s business strategies and builds long-term stockholder value. Dividends are generally in line with long-term trends in earnings per share and conservative earnings projections, while sufficient profits are retained to support anticipated business growth, fund strategic investments, maintain required regulatory capital levels and provide continued support for deposits. The Company continues to evaluate growth opportunities both through internal growth or potential acquisitions.

Stockholders’ equity ~~increased~~decreased from ~~$80.9~~$84.3 million at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~$83.7~~$59.9 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, reflecting ~~net income of $9.8 million for the first nine months of 2021,~~ an increase of $274 thousand from stock based compensation, a $48 thousand increase due to the issuance of 2,000 shares of common stock from the exercise of incentive stock options and a $30 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.8$26.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive ~~income~~loss due to a decrease in the fair market value of the Company's AFS investment securities, cash dividends declared of ~~$4.4~~$3.1 million and stock repurchases of $2$79 thousand during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $5.4 million for the first six months of 2022, an increase of $236 thousand from stock based compensation and a $28 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. The components of other comprehensive ~~income~~loss are illustrated in Note 1110 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company has 7,500,000 shares of $2.00 par value common stock authorized. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had ~~4,958,884~~4,969,972 shares issued, of which ~~4,485,154~~4,494,812 were outstanding and ~~473,730~~475,160 were held in treasury.

In January ~~2021,~~2022, the Company's Board reauthorized for ~~2021~~2022 the limited stock repurchase plan that was initially established in May of 2010. The limited stock repurchase plan allows the repurchase of up to a fixed number of shares of the Company's common stock each calendar quarter in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, as management deems advisable and as market conditions may warrant. The repurchase authorization for a calendar quarter (currently 2,500 shares) expires at the end of that quarter to the extent it has not been exercised, and is not carried forward into future quarters. The quarterly repurchase authorization expires on December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, unless reauthorized. The Company repurchased 972,650 shares under this program during the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2021~~2022 at a total cost of $2$79 thousand.

The Company maintains a DRIP whereby registered stockholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends and make optional cash contributions to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of its common stock for issuance and sale under the DRIP. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, 5,138~~2022, 6,358 shares of stock had been issued from treasury stock under the DRIP.

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and Union are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Union's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Union must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Union's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Under the ~~current~~standard regulatory capital guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 directed the federal banking regulators to adopt rules providing for a simplified regulatory capital framework for qualifying community banking organizations. In September 2019, the banking regulators finalized a rule that introduced the community bank leverage ratio ~~(CBLR)~~("CBLR") framework as an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying institutions. Beginning with the March 31, 2020 regulatory capital calculation, a banking organization with a Tier I leverage ratio greater than 9.0%, less than $10 billion in average consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities may opt into the CBLR framework and will be deemed "well capitalized" and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. A community banking organization that does not meet the requirements for use of the simplified CBLR framework will

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 42

continue to calculate its regulatory capital ratios under ~~existing~~standard guidelines. A provision of the CARES Act temporarily lowers the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio to 8.0% for a banking organization to elect to use the CBLR framework, with a phased increase back to 9.0% by the end of 2021. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Tier I leverage ratios for the Company and Union were ~~7.26%~~6.78% and ~~8.54%~~8.02%, respectively.

~~Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 45~~

As shown in the table below, as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, both the Company and Union met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are currently subject and Union exceeded the requirements for a "well capitalized" bank under the FDIC's Prompt Corrective Action framework. There were no conditions or events between ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and the date of this report that management believes have changed either Company’s regulatory capital category.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of the Disclosure Control Committee, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files with the Commission is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required information.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
