These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments and reclassifications, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition as of and for the interim periods presented. All adjustments and reclassifications are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

The interim consolidated financial statements of Citizens Holding Company (the “Company”) include the accounts of its ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank” and collectively with the Company, the “Corporation”). In addition to full service commercial banking, the Bank offers title insurance services through its subsidiary, Title Services LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For further information and significant accounting policies of the Corporation, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Citizens Holding Company included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~15, 2019.~~

Nature of Business

The Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides general banking services. As a state bank, the Bank is subject to regulations of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company is also subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve. The area served by the Bank is east central and southern counties of Mississippi and the surrounding areas. Services are provided at several branch offices.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and to value foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowance or adjustments to the valuation may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and valuations of foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or to make adjustments to the valuation based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Due to these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for loan losses and valuation of foreclosed real estate may change materially in the near term.

Risks and Uncertainties

(in thousands, except for number of loans)

The outbreak of

COVID-19

has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The World Health Organization has declared

COVID-19

to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. While there has been no material impact to the Company’s employees to date,

COVID-19

could also potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.

Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as an over $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and providers. In addition to the general impact of

COVID-19,

certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain

COVID-19

escalates further or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full extent that the impact of

COVID-19,

and resulting measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company’s operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.

Table of Contents

Financial position and results of operations

The Company’s fee income has been, and could continue to be, reduced due to

COVID-19. In

keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company is actively working with

COVID-19

affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the expected

COVID-19

related economic crisis. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact its fee income in future periods.

The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to

COVID-19. In

keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company is actively working with

COVID-19

affected borrowers to defer their payments and fees. While interest and fees will still accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

Capital and liquidity

While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by

COVID-19,

its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses and loss of fee income.

The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. 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. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin.

Asset valuation

Currently, the Company does not expect

COVID-19

to affect its ability to account timely for the assets on its consolidated statements of financial condition; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

COVID-19

could cause a decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is 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.

Table of Contents

Processes, controls and business continuity plan

The Company has invoked its Board approved Pandemic Preparedness Plan that includes a remote working strategy, among other measures. The Company does not anticipate incurring additional material cost related to its continued deployment of the remote working strategy. No material operational or internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date. The Company does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain its systems and controls in light of the measures the Company has taken to prevent the spread of

COVID-19. The

Company does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of its business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company has been executing a payment deferral program for its commercial lending clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for 60 or 90 days. As the original deferment period for many borrowers starts to expire, the Company is offering an interest-only payment program for up to an additional six months on a

loan-by-loan

basis. As of July 24, 2020, the Company has executed 311 deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $226,855. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020, these short-term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings.

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Company is actively participating in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a

two-year

term and earn interest at 1%. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of July 24, 2020, the Company has closed 588 SBA PPP loans representing $48,821 in funding. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for credit loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Further, in sensitivity and service to its communities during this unprecedented time, the Company is waiving certain late payments and service charges and has temporarily suspended collection efforts on past due loans.

Table of Contents

Credit

The Company is working with customers directly affected by

COVID-19. The

Company is prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulator guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the

COVID-19

virus, the Company is engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its allowance for loan losses and record additional credit loss expense. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of

COVID-19

are prolonged.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU~~2016-02~~ ~~“Leases~~

2017-04, “

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic ~~842)~~350)—Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

” (“ASU~~2016-02”~~

2017-04

simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the ~~statement~~first step in the previous

impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of ~~financial condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.~~goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard eliminates the prior requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2, which requires an entity to calculate any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. ASU~~2016-02~~

2017-04

was effective for the Company on January 1, ~~2019. ASU2016-02~~ ~~provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize~~2020 and measure leases on the balance sheet at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to apply ASU~~2016-02~~ ~~as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and has~~did not ~~restated comparative periods. Of the optional practical expedients available under ASU2016-02,~~ ~~all that apply have been adopted.~~

~~The Company’s operating leases relate primarily to branch properties and related equipment. As a result of implementing ASU2016-02,~~ ~~we recognized an operating leaseright-of-use~~ (“ROU”) asset of $1.086 million and an operating lease liability of $1.086 million on January 1, 2019, with no impact on our consolidated statements of income or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows compared to the prior lease accounting model. The ROU asset and liability are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated statements of condition. See Note 9. Premises and Equipment for additional information.

~~Newly Issued, But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13,~~ ~~“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU2016-13”).~~ ~~ASU2016-13~~ makes significant changes to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments and disclosures about them. The new current expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model will require an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, which considers reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions in addition

to information about past events and current conditions. The standard provides significant flexibility and requires a high degree of judgment with regards to pooling financial assets with similar risk characteristics, determining the contractual terms of said financial assets and adjusting the relevant historical loss information in order to develop an estimate of expected lifetime losses. In addition, ASU~~2016-13~~ ~~amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in ASU2016-13~~ are currently effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers. However, in October 2019, the FASB approved deferral of the effective date for ASU 2016-13 for certain companies. The new effective date for the Company is January 1, 2023. ASU~~2016-13~~ permits the use of estimation techniques that are practical and relevant to the Company’s circumstances, as long as they are applied consistently over time and faithfully estimate expected credit losses in accordance with the standard. The ASU lists several common credit loss methods that are acceptable such as a discounted cash flow method, loss-rate method and probability of default/loss given default (PD/LGD) method. Depending on the nature of each identified pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company currently plans on implementing a PD/LGD method or a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses. The Company expects ASU~~2016-13~~ to have a ~~significant~~material impact on the Company’s ~~accounting policies, internal controls over~~ financial reporting and footnote disclosures. The Company has assessed its data and system needs and has begun designing its financial models to estimate expected credit losses in accordance with the standard.

removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by

COVID-19.

The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under Accounting Standards Codification

310-40,

“

Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors

,” (“ASC

310-40”),

a restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, 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) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or

Table of Contents

other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is ~~currently evaluating~~implemented. This interagency guidance is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, this impact cannot be quantified at this time. See Note 8 of the condensed footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for disclosure of the impact to date.

Note 2. Mergers and Acquisitions

(in thousands, except share data)

Merger with Charter Bank

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition by merger of Charter Bank (“Charter”), in a transaction valued at approximately $19.7 million. The Company issued ~~666,099~~666,101 shares of common stock and paid approximately $6.1 million in cash to Charter shareholders, excluding cash paid for fractional shares. At closing, Charter merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving corporation in the merger.

Note 3. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

(in thousands)

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. The unused portion of these commitments is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation had entered into loan commitments with certain customers with an aggregate unused balance of ~~$70,933,230~~$88,744 compared to an aggregate unused balance of ~~$58,835,208~~$94,009 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. There were ~~$2,435,810~~$4,565 of letters of credit outstanding at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~$2,516,810~~$2,436 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The fair value of such commitments is not considered material because letters of credit and loan commitments often are not used in their entirety, if at all, before they expire. The balances of such letters and commitments should not be used to project actual future liquidity requirements. However, the Corporation does incorporate expectations about the utilization under its credit-related commitments into its asset and liability management program.

The Corporation is a party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, all of which are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provisions are made for anticipated losses whenever management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At the present time, management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel, that the final resolution of pending legal proceedings will not likely have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

2020.

During ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation’s directors received restricted stock grants totaling ~~7,500~~8,250 shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan. These grants vest over a

one-year

period ending April ~~23, 2020~~29, 2021 during which time the recipients have rights to vote the shares and to receive dividends. The grant date fair value of these shares was ~~$161,475~~$169 and will be expensed ratably over the~~one-year~~

one-year

vesting period.

During 2015, 7,500 shares of restricted stock were granted to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) that would vest according to a stock performance schedule over the next five years. The stock performance for the Company met the goal for 2016 and the CEO became vested in 20%, or 1,500 shares of the restricted stock at an expense of $32. Again in 2017, the Company met 20% of its goal and the CEO became vested in an additional 1,500 shares of the restricted stock at an expense of $37. The stock performance for the Company did not meet the goal in 2020, 2019 or 2018 and no corresponding expense was recorded. Additionally, the remaining 4,500 shares of restricted stock were forfeited as of June 22, 2020, the expiration of the five-year vesting period.

Note 6. Income Taxes

(in thousands)

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes totaling ~~$212 thousand~~$392 and ~~$260 thousand,~~$320, respectively. The effective tax rate was ~~13.7%~~21.1% and ~~14.8%~~18.9% for the three months ending ~~September~~June 30, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively.

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes totaling ~~$727 thousand~~$617 and ~~$888 thousand,~~$515, respectively. The effective tax rate was ~~15.6%~~19.0% and ~~15.2%~~16.5% for the ~~nine~~six months ending ~~September~~June 30, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively.

The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income taxes and differs from the statutory rate due to favorable permanent differences primarily related to tax free municipal investments.

The Corporation’s unrealized losses on its obligations of United States government agencies, mortgage backed securities and state, county and municipal bonds are the result of an upward trend in interest rates since purchase, mainly in the

mid-term

sector. None of the unrealized losses disclosed in the previous table are related to credit deterioration. The Corporation does not intend to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position that it holds and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell any such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Furthermore, even though a number of these securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months, the Corporation is collecting principal and interest payments as scheduled. The Corporation has determined that none of the securities in this classification were other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 nor at December 31, ~~2018.~~

2019.

(1)	Includes PPP loans of $48,821 and $-0- as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Loans are considered to be past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on

non-accrual

status, when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on

non-accrual

status regardless of whether such loans are considered past due. When interest accruals are discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. In determining which loans to evaluate for impairment, management looks at all loans over ~~$100,000~~$100 that are past due loans, bankruptcy filings and any situation that might lend itself to cause a borrower to be unable to repay the loan according to the original agreement terms. If a loan is determined to be impaired and the collateral is deemed to be insufficient to fully repay the loan, a specific reserve will be established. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans or portions thereof, are

charged-off

when deemed uncollectible.

Table of Contents

The Corporation utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans when

originated

and is updated as factors related to the strength of the loan changes. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the general characteristics of the 9 risk grades follows.

Grade 1. MINIMAL RISK - These loans are without loss exposure to the Corporation. This classification is reserved for only the best, well secured loans to borrowers with significant capital strength, low leverage, stable earnings and growth and other readily available financing alternatives. This type of loan would also include loans secured by a program of the government.

Grade 2. MODEST RISK - These loans include borrowers with solid credit quality and moderate risk of loss. These loans may be fully secured by certificates of deposit with another reputable financial institution, or secured by readily marketable securities with acceptable margins.

Grade 3. AVERAGE RISK - This is the rating assigned to the majority of the loans held by the Corporation. This includes loans with average loss exposure and average overall quality. These loans should liquidate through possessing adequate collateral and adequate earnings of the borrower. In addition, these loans are properly documented and are in accordance with all aspects of the current loan policy.

Grade 4. ACCEPTABLE RISK - Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service but most working asset and capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Profitability and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more may be higher than peers.

Grade 5. MANAGEMENT ATTENTION - Borrower has significant weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the borrower has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Cash flow is weak but cash reserves remain adequate to meet debt service. Management weakness is evident.

Grade 6. OTHER LOANS ESPECIALLY MENTIONED (“OLEM”) - Loans in this category are fundamentally sound but possess some weaknesses. OLEM loans have potential weaknesses which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the bank’s credit position at some future date. These loans have an identifiable weakness in credit, collateral, or repayment ability but there is no expectation of loss.

Grade 7. SUBSTANDARD ASSETS - Assets classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness based upon objective evidence. Assets classified as substandard are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The possibility that liquidation would not be timely requires a substandard classification even if there is little likelihood of total loss. This classification does not mean that the loan will incur a total or partial loss. Substandard loans may or may not be impaired.

Table of Contents

Grade 8. DOUBTFUL - A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses of a substandard classification and the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. A doubtful classification could reflect the fact that the primary source of repayment is gone and serious doubt exists as to the quality of a secondary source of repayment.

Grade 9. LOSS - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future. Also included in this classification is the defined loss portion of loans rated substandard assets and doubtful assets.

These internally assigned grades are updated on a continual basis throughout the course of the year and represent management’s most updated judgment regarding grades at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~

Note 10. Allowance for Loan Losses

(in thousands)

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.

The allowance on the majority of the loan portfolio is calculated using a historical chargeoff percentage applied to the current loan balances by loan segment. This historical period is the average of the previous twenty quarters with the most current quarters weighted more heavily to show the effect of the most recent chargeoff activity. This percentage is also adjusted for economic factors such as local unemployment and general business conditions, both local and nationwide.

The group of loans that are considered to be impaired are individually evaluated for possible loss and a specific reserve is established to cover any loss contingency. Loans that are determined to be a loss with no benefit of remaining in the portfolio are charged off to the allowance. These specific reserves are reviewed periodically for continued impairment and adequacy of the specific reserve and are adjusted when necessary.

Note ~~11.~~14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value topic of the ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This topic clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This topic also requires disclosure about how fair value was determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:


Level 1		Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2		Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or

Level 3		Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019:~~

The Corporation recorded no0 gains or losses in earnings for the period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 or December 31, ~~2018~~2019 that were attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at the reporting date.

Impaired Loans

Loans considered impaired are reserved for at the time the loan is identified as impaired taking into account the fair value of the collateral less

estimated

selling costs. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including but not limited to, equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The fair value of the business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the business’s financial statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are observable, these nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified Level 3. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with the fair value of real estate based on appraised value being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the certified appraisals for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling, closing and liquidation costs, which typically approximates 25% of the appraised value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified.

Table of Contents

Other real estate owned

OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. The Company outsources the valuation of OREO with material balances to third party appraisers. The Company reviews the third-party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically approximate 25% of the appraised value.

2019.

The financial instruments topic of the ASC requires disclosure of financial instruments’ fair values, as well as the methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating fair values. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The financial instruments topic of the ASC excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a

one-bank

holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Mississippi on February 16, 1982. The Company is the sole shareholder of the Bank. The Company does not have any direct subsidiaries other than the Bank.

The Bank was opened on February 8, 1908 as The First National Bank of Philadelphia. In 1917, the Bank surrendered its national charter and obtained a state charter, at which time the name of the Bank was changed to The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia, Mississippi. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Bank was the largest bank headquartered in Neshoba County, Mississippi, with total assets of ~~$1,052.111 million~~$1,402,061 and total deposits of ~~$796.094 million.~~$1,077,318. In addition to full service commercial banking, the Bank offers title insurance services through its subsidiary, Title Services LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The principal executive offices of both the Company and the Bank are located at 521 Main Street, Philadelphia, Mississippi 39350, and the main telephone number is (601)

656-4692.

All references hereinafter to the activities or operations of the Company reflect the Company’s activities or operations through the Bank.

LIQUIDITY

The Corporation has an asset and liability management program that assists management in maintaining net interest margins during times of both rising and falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. A measurement of liquidity is the ratio of net deposits and short-term liabilities divided by the sum of net cash, short-term investments and marketable assets. This measurement for liquidity of the Corporation at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, was ~~24.94%~~18.19% and at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, was ~~21.34%~~24.87%. The ~~increase~~decrease was due to an increase in ~~short-term marketable assets~~deposits at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. Management believes it maintains adequate liquidity for the Corporation’s current needs.

Table of Contents

The Corporation’s primary source of liquidity is customer deposits, which were ~~$794,314,007~~$1,075,348 at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$756,221,510~~$898,996 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Other sources of liquidity include investment securities, the Corporation’s line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and federal funds lines with correspondent banks. The Corporation had ~~$434,145,569~~$627,719 invested in

available-for-sale

investment securities at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$444,746,454~~$464,383 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. This ~~decrease~~increase was due to ~~paydowns, maturities, sales and calls in excess of~~ purchases ~~partially offset by~~coupled with an increase in the ~~market~~fair value of the Corporation’s investment securities ~~portfolio.~~

portfolio in excess of paydowns, maturities, sales and calls.

The Corporation also had ~~$61,234,815~~$41,184 in interest bearing deposits at other banks at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~$8,079,742~~$58,557 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The Corporation had secured and unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks in the amount of ~~$45,000,000~~$45,000 at both ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. In addition, the Corporation has the ability to draw on its line of credit with the FHLB. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation had unused and available ~~$183,897,221~~$209,280 of its line of credit with the FHLB and at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Corporation had unused and available ~~$171,252,131~~$177,592 of its line of credit with the FHLB. The increase in the amount available under the Corporation’s line of credit with the FHLB from the end of ~~2018~~2019 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, was the result of an increase in the amount of loans eligible for the collateral pool securing the Corporation’s line of credit with the FHLB. The Corporation had federal funds purchased of

$-0-

as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The Corporation may purchase federal funds from correspondent banks on a temporary basis to meet short term funding needs.

When the Corporation has more funds than it needs for its reserve requirements or short-term liquidity needs, the Corporation increases its investment portfolio, increases the balances in interest bearing due from bank accounts or sells federal funds. It is management’s policy to maintain an adequate portion of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term basis to insure rate flexibility and to meet loan funding and liquidity needs. When deposits decline or do not grow sufficiently to fund loan demand, management will seek funding either through federal funds purchased or advances from the FHLB.

Quantitative measures established by federal regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (primarily common stock and retained earnings, less goodwill) to risk weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and according to these requirements the Corporation is considered to be well capitalized.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to adopt regulations imposing a continuing “floor” on the risk based capital requirements. In December 2010, the Basel Committee released a final framework for a strengthened set of capital requirements, known as “Basel III”. In early July 2013, each of the U.S. federal banking agencies adopted final rules relevant to us: (1) the Basel III regulatory capital reforms; and (2) the “standardized approach of Basel II for

non-core

banks and bank holding companies”, such as the Bank and the Company. The capital framework under Basel III replaced the existing regulatory capital rules for all banks, savings associations and U.S. bank holding companies with greater than $500 million in total assets, and all savings and loan holding companies.

Beginning January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank began to comply with the final Basel III rules, which became effective on January 1, 2019. Among other things, the final Basel III rules impact regulatory capital ratios of banking organizations in the following manner:

Create a requirement to maintain a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of not less than 4.5%;

Increase the minimum leverage capital ratio to 4% for all banking organizations (currently 3% for certain banking organizations);

Increase the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio from 4% to 6%; and

Maintain the minimum total risk-based capital ratio at 8%.

In addition, the final Basel III rules subject banking organizations to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of its total risk-weighted assets. The effect of the capital conservation buffer increases the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7%, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5% and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5% for banking organizations seeking to avoid the limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

Table of Contents

The final Basel III rules also changed the capital categories for insured depository institutions for purposes of prompt corrective action. Under the final rules, to be well capitalized, an insured depository institution must maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, and a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%. In addition, the final Basel III rules established more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital and imposed certain deductions from and adjustments to the measure of common equity Tier 1 capital.

Management believes that, as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. The changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets required by Basel III did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s capital ratios as presented.

NET INTEREST INCOME / NET INTEREST MARGIN

One component of the Corporation’s earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid for deposits and borrowed funds. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

The annualized net interest margin was ~~2.59%~~2.60% for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~3.07%~~2.65% for the corresponding period of ~~2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, annualized net interest margin was 2.62% compared to 3.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.~~2019. The decrease in net interest margin for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, when compared to the same period in ~~2018,~~2019, was primarily driven by the ~~result~~impact of ~~the increase~~$48,821 in ~~rates paid on deposits in excess of the increase in yields on earning assets, as detailed below.~~PPP loans yielding 1%. Earning assets averaged ~~$967,972,563~~$1,237,906 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. This represents an increase of ~~$85,396,240,~~$281,415, or ~~9.7%~~29.4%, over average earning assets of ~~$882,576,323~~$956,491 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018. For~~2019.

The annualized net interest margin was 2.74% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2020 compared to 2.69% for the corresponding period of 2019. The increase in net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020, when compared to the same period in 2019, was due to yields on earning assets decreasing less than rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. While the margin growth was significant, the increase was partially offset by the aforementioned impact the PPP loans had on our loan yields. Earning assets averaged ~~$951,520,484.~~$1,173,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This represents an increase of ~~$57,489,453,~~$230,576, or ~~6.4%~~24.4%, over average earning assets of ~~$894,031,031~~$943,158 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~

2019.

Interest bearing deposits averaged ~~$634,978,452~~$770,288 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. This represents an increase of ~~$39,364,580,~~$119,537, or ~~6.6%~~18.4%, from the average of interest-bearing deposits of ~~$595,613,872~~$650,751 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018. This was~~2019. In correlation with the national trend of increased savings, all

non-time

deposit categories increased as customers increased savings due to the uncertainty surrounding the

COVID-19

pandemic. The decrease in time deposits was caused by a strategic rate reduction made by the Company.

Interest bearing deposits averaged $750,879 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This represents an increase inof $126,465, or 20.2%, from the average of interest-bearing ~~NOW and money market accounts, savings and certificates~~deposits of ~~deposit.~~

$624,414 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was discussed previously.

Other borrowed funds averaged ~~$131,268,828~~$190,620 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. This represents an increase of ~~$20,987,455,~~$76,736, or ~~19.0%~~67.4%, over the other borrowed funds of ~~$110,281,373~~$113,884 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. This increase in other borrowed funds was due to an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase ~~partially offset by a decrease in federal funds purchased and FHLB advances~~ for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, when compared to the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~

~~Interest bearing deposits~~2019.

Other borrowed funds averaged ~~$639,908,371~~$174,553 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. This represents an increase of ~~$39,044,591,~~$64,197, or 6.5%, from the average of interest-bearing deposits of $600,863,780 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This was due to an increase in interest-bearing NOW and money market accounts, savings and certificates of deposit.

~~Other borrowed funds averaged $117,403,793 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This represents a decrease of $4,070,648, or 3.6%~~58.2%, over the other borrowed funds of ~~$113,333,145~~$110,356 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. This increase ~~in other borrowed funds~~ was due to an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase partially offset by a decrease in federal funds purchased and FHLB advances for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

CREDIT LOSS EXPERIENCE

As a natural corollary to the Corporation’s lending activities, some loan losses are to be expected. The risk of loss varies with the type of loan being made and the overall creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. The degree of perceived risk is taken into account in establishing the structure of, and interest rates and security for, specific loans and for various types of loans. The Corporation attempts to minimize its credit risk exposure by use of thorough loan application and approval procedures.

The Corporation maintains a program of systematic review of its existing loans. Loans are graded for their overall quality. Those loans, which management determines require further monitoring and supervision, are segregated and reviewed on a regular basis. Significant problem loans are reviewed monthly by the Corporation’s management and Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

The Corporation charges off that portion of any loan that the Corporation’s management and Board of Directors has determined to be a loss. A loan is generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or in part, when exposure beyond the collateral value is apparent, servicing of the unsecured portion has been discontinued or collection is not anticipated based on the borrower’s financial condition. The general economic conditions in the borrower’s industry influence this determination. The principal amount of any loan that is declared a loss is charged against the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses.

The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses is designed to provide for loan losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to operating expenses in the form of provisions for loan losses. Actual loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited to the allowance for loan losses. The Board of Directors determines the amount of the allowance. Among the factors considered in determining the allowance for loan losses are the current financial condition of the Corporation’s borrowers and the value of security, if any, for their loans. Estimates of future economic conditions and their impact on various industries and individual borrowers are also taken into consideration, as are the Corporation’s historical loan loss experience and reports of banking regulatory authorities. As these estimates, factors and evaluations are primarily judgmental, no assurance can be given as to whether the Corporation will sustain loan losses in excess or below its allowance or that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio may not require material increases or decreases in such allowance.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses for the dates indicated:

demand. As a result of the

COVID-19

virus, the Corporation increased the allowance for loan losses qualitatively, specifically related to exposures that we felt were more

“at-risk”

than others, including hotels, restaurants and retail real estate. The Corporation’s model used to calculate the provision is based on the percentage of historical charge-offs, increased for certain qualitative factors within the regulatory framework, applied to the current loan balances by loan segment and specific reserves applied to certain impaired loans.

Management reviews quarterly with the Corporation’s Board of Directors the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The loan loss provision is adjusted when specific items reflect a need for such an adjustment. Management believes that there were no material loan losses during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 that have not been charged off. Management also believes that the Corporation’s allowance will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. However, it remains possible that additional provisions for loan loss may be required.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The principal objective of our asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing net income and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The Board of Directors of the Bank has oversight of our asset and liability management function, which is managed by our Chief Financial Officer. Our Chief Financial Officer meets with our senior executive management team regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to market rate changes, local and national market conditions and market interest rates. That group also reviews our liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions.

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the fair value of all interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair values.

We manage our exposure to interest rates primarily by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not typically enter into derivative contracts for the purpose of managing interest rate risk, but we may elect to do so should the situation warrant. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are not subject to material foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.

We use an interest rate risk simulation model to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet. Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in projected net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. We also analyze the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the fair value of assets less the fair value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer-term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of all future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates, and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

As part of our asset/liability management strategy, our management has emphasized the origination of shorter duration loans as well as variable rate loans to limit the negative exposure to a rate increase. We also desire to acquire deposit transaction accounts, particularly noninterest or low ~~interest bearing~~interest-bearing

non-maturity

deposit accounts, whose cost is less sensitive to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The management of the Company, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019~~2020 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report).

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

RISK FACTORS.

The Corporation’s business, ~~futurefinancial~~future

financial condition and results of operations are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, which are disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, which the Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~15, 2019.~~13, 2020. Additional information regarding some of those risks and uncertainties is contained in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report and in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” appearing in Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report. The risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Corporation’s quarterly reports on Form

10-Q

and other reports and forms filed with the SEC are not necessarily all of the risks and uncertainties that may affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.

~~There~~

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus

(“COVID-19”)

could adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The ongoing

COVID-19

global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. As a result, the

COVID-19

pandemic could have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The spread of

COVID-19

has caused illness, quarantines, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. Additionally, in response to the

COVID-19

pandemic, the state government of Mississippi, where all of the Bank’s branch offices and the Corporation’s principal executive office are located, and the governments of most other states, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego activities outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be

non-essential.

These restrictions and other consequences of the pandemic have resulted in a significant number of layoffs and furloughs of employees nationwide and in the regions in which the Bank operates.

Table of Contents

The ultimate effects of

COVID-19

on the broader economy and the markets that the Bank serves are not known. Moreover, the Federal Reserve has taken action to lower the Federal Funds rate, which may negatively affect the Corporation’s interest income and, therefore, earnings, financial condition and results of operation. Additional impacts of

COVID-19

on the Corporation’s business could be widespread and material, and may include, or exacerbate, among other consequences, the following:

employees contracting

COVID-19;

a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption of the Corporation’s business;

unavailability of key personnel necessary to conduct the Corporation’s business activities;

sustained closures of the Bank’s branch lobbies or the offices of the Bank’s customers;

declines in demand for loans and other banking services and products;

reduced consumer spending due to both job losses and other effects attributable to the pandemic;

unprecedented volatility in United States financial markets;

volatile performance of the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio;

decline in the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, owing to the effects of

COVID-19

in the markets the Bank serves, leading to a need to increase the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses;

declines in value of collateral for loans, including real estate collateral;

declines in the net worth and liquidity of borrowers and loan guarantors, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; and

declines in demand resulting from businesses being deemed to be

“non-essential”

by governments in the markets the Bank serves, and from

“non-essential”

and “essential” businesses suffering adverse effects from reduced levels of economic activity in the Corporation’s markets.

These factors, together or in combination with other events or occurrences that may not yet be known or anticipated, may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ongoing

COVID-19

pandemic has resulted in meaningfully lower stock prices for many companies, as well as the trading prices for many other securities. The further spread of the

COVID-19

outbreak, as well as ongoing or new governmental, regulatory and private sector responses to the pandemic, may materially disrupt banking and other economic activity generally and in the areas in which the Bank operates. This could result in further decline in demand for the Bank’s banking products and services, and could negatively impact, among other things, our liquidity, regulatory capital and growth strategy of the Corporation.

The Corporation is taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of its employees and customers. However, no ~~material changes~~assurance can be given that the steps being taken will be adequate or deemed to be appropriate, nor can the Corporation predict the level of disruption which will occur to employee’s ability to provide customer support and service. If the Corporation is unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The Corporation may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could further adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Since the Bank is a participating lender in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company and the Bank are subject to additional risks of litigation from the Bank’s clients or other parties regarding the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The Bank is participating as a lender in the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. Since the opening of the PPP, several other larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. The Company and the Bank may be exposed to the risk ~~factors as disclosed~~of litigation, from both clients and

non-clients

that approached the Bank regarding PPP loans, regarding its process and procedures used in ~~the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form10-K~~processing applications for the ~~Corporation’s year ended December 31, 2018.~~

PPP. If any such litigation is filed against the Company or the Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or the Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
