Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Reportquarterly report on Form
Form 10-Q
may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results of operations may differ materially from those projected or suggested in the forward-looking statements due to certain risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, (i) the fact that the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation have been or may be negatively impacted by the extent and duration of the
COVID-19
pandemic, (iii) the fact that consumer behavior may change due to changing political, business and economic conditions, including increased unemployment, or legislative or regulatory initiatives, (iv) the fact that the Company’s success is dependent to a significant extent upon general economic conditions in New England, (ii)(v) the fact that the Company’s earnings depend to a great extent upon the level of net interest income (the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings) generated by the Bank and thus the Bank’s results of operations may be adversely affected by increases or decreases in interest rates, (iii)(vi) failure to obtain the approval of our shareholders in connection with our proposed merger with Eastern Bankshares, Inc. (“Eastern”); (vii) the timing to consummate the proposed merger; (viii) the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed merger may not be satisfied; (ix) the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed merger is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; (x) the effect of the announcement of the proposed merger on our ability to maintain relationships with our key partners, customers and employees, and on our operating results and business generally; (xi) the fact that the Bank’s participation in the Paycheck Protection Program involves reputational risks, (xii) the fact that the banking business is highly competitive and the profitability of the Company depends upon the Bank’s ability to attract loans and deposits within its market area, where the Bank competes with a variety of traditional banking and other institutions such as credit unions and finance companies, (xiii) the fact that our operations are subject to risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters and (iv)future pandemics, (xiv) the fact that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions and adverse economic developments, and (xvi) the fact that a significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, exposing the Company to the risks inherent in loans based upon analyses of credit risk, the value of underlying collateral, including real estate, and other more intangible factors, which are considered in making commercial loans. Accordingly, the Company’s profitability may be negatively impacted by errors in risk analyses, and by loan defaults, and the ability of certain borrowers to repay such loans may be adversely affected by any downturn in general economic conditions, (v) the fact that the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation have been or may be negatively impacted by the extent and duration of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Thesethese factors, as well as general economic and market conditions, may materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock. Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control. The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Company’s judgment as of the date of this quarterly report on from
Form 10-Q,
and the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Century Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
NineThree Months Ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019
Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Century Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Century Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. (“CSII”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. II (“CSII II”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. III (“CSII III”) and Century Financial Services Inc. (“CFSI”). CSII, CSII II, and CSII III are engaged in buying, selling and holding investment securities. CFSI has the power to engage in financial agency, securities brokerage, and investment and financial advisory services and related securities credit. The Company also owns 100% of Century Bancorp Capital Trust II (“CBCT II”). The entity is an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company provides a full range of banking services to individual, business and municipal customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Virginia, Washington D.C, and New York.Pennsylvania. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board.System (the “Federal Reserve Board”). The Bank, a state chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision and regulation by applicable state and federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. All aspects of the Company’s business are highly competitive. The Company faces aggressive competition from other lending institutions and from numerous other providers of financial services. The Company has 1 reportable operating segment.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s quarterly reportQuarterly Report on Form
10-Q
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which provides a summary of the Company’s significant accounting principles. The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain reclassifications are made to prior-year amounts whenever necessary to conform with the current-year presentation.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act allows certain companies to delay FASB ASU
2016-13,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL), including the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. The Company has elected to delay FASB ASU
2016-13.
This ASU will be delayed until the earlier of the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID–19 outbreak declared by the President on March 15, 2020 terminates or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation date of January 1, 2020.
Material estimates that are susceptible to change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on a review of factors, including historical
charge-off
rates with additional allocations based on qualitative risk factors for each category and general economic factors. While management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. Certain risks and uncertainties remain in the allowance for loan losses as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic that occurred during 2020. Future provision levels will be dependent upon the length of the economic disruption and the effectiveness of government programs to mitigate the economic impact. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Certain reclassifications are made to prior-year amounts whenever necessary to conform with the current-year presentation.

The weighted average remaining life of investment securities
available-for-sale
at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was 4.75.0 years. The contractual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the actual maturities, due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations. Also $236,600,000$210,125,000 of the securities are floating rate or adjustable rate and reprice prior to maturity.
As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade.
The unrealized loss on SBA Backed Securities, U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

Table of Contents
In evaluating the underlying credit quality of a security, management considers several factors such as the credit rating of the obligor and the issuer, if applicable. Internal reviews of issuer financial statements are performed as deemed necessary. In the case of privately issued mortgage-backed securities, the performance of the underlying loans is analyzed as deemed necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows of the securities. Factors considered include the level of subordination, current and estimated future default rates, current and estimated prepayment rates, estimated loss severity rates, geographic concentrations and origination dates of underlying loans.
The following table shows the temporarily impaired securities of the Company’s
available-for-sale
portfolio at September 30,March 31, 2021. This table shows the unrealized market loss of securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and a continuous loss position for 12 months or longer. There are 3 and 27 securities that are temporarily impaired for less than 12 months and for 12 months or longer, respectively, out of a total of 151 holdings at March 31, 2021.

The weighted average remaining life of investment securities
held-to-maturity
at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was 3.6 years. Included in the weighted average remaining life calculation at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 were $207,730,000$320,611,000 of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises obligations that are callable at the discretion of the issuer. The contractual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the actual maturities, due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations. Also $89,000$81,000 of the securities are floating rate or adjustable rate and reprice prior to maturity.
As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized costs. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered the fact that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade.

Table of Contents
The unrealized loss on U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, SBA Backed Securities, and U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage-Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2019.2020. In evaluating the underlying credit quality of a security, management considers several factors such as the credit rating of the obligor and the issuer, if applicable. Internal reviews of issuer financial statements are performed as deemed necessary.

Impaired loans
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the Company measures impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans are
charged-off
when management believes that the collectability of the loan’s principal is not probable. The specific factors that management considers in making the determination that the collectability of the loan’s principal is not probable include: the delinquency status of the loan, the fair value of the collateral, if secured, and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. For collateral dependent loans, the amount of the recorded investment in a loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral is
charged-off
against the allowance for loan losses in lieu of an allocation of a specific allowance amount when such an amount has been identified definitively as uncollectible. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans is contained within Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are identified as modifications in which a concession was granted to a customer who was having financial difficulties. This concession may be below market rate, longer amortization/term, or a lower payment amount. The present value calculation of the modifications did not result in an increase in the allowance for these loans beyond any previously established allocations.
There was no TDR that occurredmade during the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Also, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to troubled debt restructuringTDR borrowers. There were no troubled debt restructuringsTDRs that subsequently defaulted during the first ninethree months of 2020.2021.
Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for
COVID-19
modifications. The Company can then suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to
COVID-19
that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of
COVID-19
as being a TDR, including the requirement to determine impairment for accounting purposes.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC
820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASU
2016-1,
“Financial Instruments-Overall”
(Subtopic 825-10)
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. ASC
820-10
establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The type of financial instruments included in Level I are highly liquid cash instruments with quoted prices such as
G-7
government, agency securities, listed equities and money market securities, as well as listed derivative instruments.
Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments include cash instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, derivative instruments whose fair value have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Instruments which are generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, mortgage whole loans, municipal bonds, and OTC derivatives.
Page 25 of 50
Table of Contents
Level III – Instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have
two-way
markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Instruments that are included in this category generally include municipal securities with no observable fair value with an average life of one year or less. The securities are carried at cost which approximates fair value. A periodic review of underlying financial statements and credit ratings is performed to assess the appropriateness of these valuations.

Impaired loan balances represent those collateral dependent loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loan’s carrying value against the expected realizable fair value of the collateral. Fair value is generally determined through a review process that includes independent appraisals, discounted cash flows, or other external assessments of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not observable. The Company discounts the fair values, as appropriate, based on management’s observations of the local real estate market for loans in this category.
Appraisals, discounted cash flows and real estate tax assessments are reviewed quarterly. There is no specific policy regarding how frequently appraisals will be updated. Adjustments are made to appraisals and real estate tax assessments based on management’s estimate of changes in real estate values. All impaired loans have been reviewed during the past quarter using either a discounted cash flow analysis, appraisal of collateral or other type of real estate tax assessment. The types of adjustments that are made to specific provisions (credits) related to impaired loans recognized for the three and nine month periodsthree-month period ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 amounted to $0($375,000) and ($9,000), respectively.amounted to $501,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
There were 0 transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 9. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of its financial instruments. Excluded from this disclosure are all
non-financial
instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The assumptions used below are expected to approximate those that market participants would use in valuing these financial instruments.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below.
Securities
Held-to-Maturity
The fair values of these securities were based on quoted market prices, where available, as provided by third-party investment portfolio pricing vendors. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values provided by the vendors were based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments in active markets and/or based on a matrix pricing methodology which employs The Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis, live benchmark bond pricing and terms/condition data available from major pricing sources. Management regards the inputs and methods used by third party pricing vendors to be “Level 2 inputs and methods” as defined in the “fair value hierarchy” provided by FASB.
Loans
The fair value of loans is estimated using the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow analysis was based on the contractual maturity of the loan and market indications of rates, prepayment speeds, defaults and credit risk. For certain
non-performing
assets, fair value of the underlying collateral is determined based on the estimated values of individual receipts.
Time Deposits
The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. The fair values of the Company’s time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.
Other Borrowed Funds
The fair value of other borrowed funds is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other borrowed funds of similar remaining maturities.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the type of financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions and changes in the loan, debt and interest rate markets could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the income tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered.
Note 10. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC Topic 606 is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations.
The Company’s performance obligations are typically satisfied as services are rendered, and our contracts do not include multiple performance obligations. Payment is generally collected at the time services are rendered, or monthly. Unsatisfied performance obligations at the report date are not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Page 27 of 45
Table of Contents
The Company pays sales commissions to its employees in accordance with certain incentive plans. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred if we do not expect to recover these costs from the terms of the contract with the customer. Sales commissions are included in compensation expense.
In certain cases, other parties are involved with providing products and services to our customers. If the Company is a principal in the transaction (providing goods or services itself), revenues are reported based on the gross consideration received from the customer and any related expenses are reported gross in noninterest expense. If the Company is an agent in the transaction (arranging for another party to provide goods or services), the Company reports its net fee or commission retained as revenue.
Page 30 of 50
Table of Contents
Waivers and reversals are recorded as a reduction of revenue either when the revenue is recognized by the Company or at the time the waiver or reversal is earned by the customer.
 
 
A.
Nature of goods and services
The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is specifically
out-of-scope
of Topic 606. For the revenue
in-scope,
the following is a description of principal activities, separated by the timing of revenue recognition, from which the Company generates its revenue from contracts with customers.
 
 a.
Revenue earned at a point in time – Examples of revenue earned at a point in time are ATM transaction fees, wire transfer fees, NSF
“non-sufficient
funds” fees, credit and debit card interchange fees and foreign exchange transaction fees. Revenue is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems and is recognized as revenue immediately as the transactions occur or upon providing the service to complete the customer’s transaction. The Company is the principal in each of these contracts, with the exception of credit and debit card interchange fees, in which case we are acting as the agent and record revenue net of expenses paid to the principal.
 
 b.
Revenue earned over time – The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers in a variety of ways in which the revenue is earned over a period of time – generally monthly or quarterly. Examples of this type of revenue are deposit account service fees, lockbox fees, investment management fees, merchant referral services, and safe deposit box fees. Account service charges, management fees and referral fees are recognized on a monthly basis while any transaction based income is recorded as the activity occurs. Revenue is primarily based on the number and type of transactions or assets managed and is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems. Revenue is recorded in the same period as the related transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer.
 
 
B.
Disaggregation of revenue
The following table presents total revenues as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the related amounts which are from contracts with customers within the scope of Topic 606. As illustrated here, the vast majority of our revenues are specifically excluded from the scope of Topic 606.

basis for the first ninethree months of 20192020 to 2.01%1.80% for the same period in 2020.2021. This was primarily the result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve.

The margin remained relatively stable for the first three quarters of 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018 and first and second quarters of 2019, the Company increased its average interest-bearing deposits and average earning assets. This increased net interest income but decreased the net interest margin. During the third quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased mainly as a result of deposit rate decreases. These deposits increased net interest income and the net interest margin. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased mainly as a result of prepayment penalties collected. Prepayment penalties collected amounted to $1.4 million and contributed approximately eleven basis points to the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2019. The net interest margin decreased during the first quarter of 2020 mainly as a result of decreases in rates on earning assets. This was partially offset by prepayment penalties collected of $874,000 and contributed approximately seven basis points to the net interest margin. The net interest margin decreased during the second, third, and thirdfourth quarters of 2020 primarily as a result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve. This was partially offset by prepayment penalties collected of $453,000 and contributed approximately three basis points to the net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2020. The net interest margin decreased during the first quarter of 2021 primarily as a result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve. While management will continue its efforts to improve the net interest margin, there can be no assurance that certain factors beyond its control, such as the prepayment of loans and changes in market interest rates, will positively impact the net interest margin.

The credit provision for the first quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to a decline in loan balances exclusive of PPP loans and a reduction in specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses. The provision for the first quarter of 2020 was primarily as a result of the economic uncertainties associated with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID–19) pandemic and increased loan balances, offset by decreases in historical loss rates.

During the first three quarters
Table of 2020, the
COVID-19
pandemic caused economic turmoil for individuals and businesses throughout the country and, in particular, our market area. Many businesses were required to fully or partially shut down. Many businesses laid off and/or furloughed employees as a result. Unemployment has increased significantly, and GDP declined significantly. This may cause loan defaults in the future as customers are unable to make their contractual loan payments. The Company has increased its provision for loan losses in response to this increased risk. Future provision levels will be dependent upon the length of the economic disruption and the effectiveness of government programs to mitigate the economic impact of the shutdowns. The Company’s revenue has been and may continue to be negatively impacted as transaction fees have declined due to decreased volume.Contents

On March 18, 2020, the FFCRA was signed into law and on March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The FFCRA and the CARES Act provide relief for families and businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The provisions in this legislation include, among other things, loan programs for businesses, expanded unemployment insurance benefits, stimulus payments to certain taxpayers, new provisions on sick leave and family leave, and funding for a variety of health-related efforts and government programs. Also, as a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the Company’s AMT credit was refunded in 2020.
The CARES Act, among other things, provides cash payments to certain individuals and has various programs for businesses. In particular, it includes the Payroll Protection Program (PPP)PPP which provides forgivable loans to qualified small businesses, primarily to allow these businesses to continue to pay their employees. The original amount allocated to the program was $349 billion, which was exhausted on April 16, 2020. On April 24, 2020, an additional allocation of $310 billion was signed into law. These loans are funded by participating banks and are 100% guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).SBA. If utilized primarily for payroll, subject to certain other conditions, the loans may be forgiven, in whole or in part, and repaid by the SBA. During 2020 and 2021, the Company participated in the PPP. Since the inception of the program, PPP originations totaled approximately 1,860 loans for approximately $325 million. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Century Bank’s PPP loans totaled approximately 1,3241,117 loans for approximately $232$213 million. The fees collected, from the SBA, amount to approximately $8.0$11.9 million. The amount of fees recognized during the first quarter of 2021 amounted to approximately $2.2 million. Total cost deferrals amounted to approximately $1.7 million, since inception. The fees and costs are being amortized over the lives of the loans utilizing the level-yield method.

Recent Market Developments
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
“D-F
Act”) became law. The
D-F
Act was intended to address many issues arising in the recent financial crisis and is exceedingly broad in scope, affecting many aspects of bank and financial market regulation. The
D-F
Act requires, or permits by implementing regulation, enhanced prudential standards for banks and bank holding companies inclusive of capital, leverage, liquidity, concentration and exposure measures. In addition, traditional bank regulatory principles such as restrictions on transactions with affiliates and insiders were enhanced. The
D-F
Act also contains reforms of consumer mortgage lending practices and creates a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which is granted broad authority over consumer financial practices of banks and others. It is expected as the specific new or incremental requirements applicable toloan modifications, the Company become effective that the costs and difficultieshas modifications of remaining compliant8 loans aggregating approximately $36.2 million, primarily consisting of short-term payment deferrals. Of these modifications, $36.2 million, or 100%, were performing in accordance with all such requirements will increase. The
D-F
Act broadened the base for FDIC assessments to average consolidated assets less tangible equity of financial institutions and also permanently raises the current standard maximum FDIC deposit insurance amount to $250,000. The Act extended unlimited deposit insurance on
non-interest-bearing
transaction accounts through December 31, 2012.their modified terms.
In addition, the
D-F
Act added a new Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act, the
so-called
“Volcker Rule,” (the “Rule”) which generally restricts certain banking entities such as the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, from engaging in proprietary trading activities and owning equity in or sponsoring any private equity or hedge fund. The Rule became effective July 21, 2012. The final implementing regulations for the Rule were issued by various regulatory agencies in December 2013 and under an extended conformance regulation compliance was required to be achieved by July 21, 2015. The conformance period for investments in and relationships with certain “legacy covered funds” was extended to July 21, 2017. Under the Rule, the Company may be restricted from engaging in proprietary trading, investing in third party hedge or private equity funds or sponsoring new funds unless it qualifies for an exemption from the rule. The Company has little involvement in prohibited proprietary trading or investment activities in covered funds and the Company does not expect that complying with the requirements of the Rule will have any material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation. The federal banking agencies have issued amendments to the Rule to provide greater clarity and certainty about what activities are prohibited and to improve the effective allocation of compliance resources, and to conform the Rule to the EGRRCPA (discussed below). Effective October 1, 2020, further amendments to the Rule took effect, which modifies existing exemptions from the definition of covered fund, add new exclusions from the definition of covered fund and provide relief in other areas.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted, which represents the most comprehensive reform to the U.S. tax code in over thirty years. The majority of the provisions of the Tax Act took effect on January 1, 2018. The Tax Act lowered the Company’s federal tax rate from 34% to 21%. Also, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) has been repealed. For 2018 through 2021, the AMT credit carryforward can offset regular tax liability and is refundable in an amount equal to 50% (100% for 2021) of the excess of the minimum tax credit for the tax year over the amount of the credit allowable for the year against regular tax liability. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. As a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the AMT credit was refunded during 2020. The Tax Act also contains other provisions that may affect the Company currently or in future years. Among these are changes to the deductibility of meals and entertainment, the deductibility of executive compensation, the dividend received deduction and net operating loss carryforwards. Tax Act changes for individuals include lower tax rates, mortgage interest and state and local tax limitations as well as an increase in the standard deduction, among others.
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act
On May 24, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, or the EGRRCPA, became law. This is arguably the most significant financial institution legislation since the
D-F
Act. The EGRRCPA changes certain of the regulatory requirements of the
D-F
Act and includes provisions intended to relieve the regulatory burden on “community banks.” Among other things, for qualifying community banks with less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, the EGRRCPA contains a safe harbor from the
D-F
Act “ability to repay” mortgage requirements, an exemption from the Volcker Rule, may permit filing of simplified Call Reports, and potentially will result in some alleviation of the
D-F
Act and U.S. Basel III capital mandates. The EGRRCPA requires the federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of tangible equity capital to average
Page 36 of 50
Table of Contents
total consolidated assets) for banks and holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion and an appropriate risk profile. The required regulations must specify a minimum community bank leverage ratio of not less than 8% and not more than 10%. The federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, which would set the minimum ratio at 9%. Qualifying banks that exceed the minimum community bank leverage ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements including the capital ratio requirements that are required to be considered well capitalized under Section 38 of Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)
On March 18, 2020 the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was signed into law and on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The FFCRA and the CARES Act provide relief for families and businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The provisions in this legislation include, among other things, loan programs for businesses, expanded unemployment insurance benefits, stimulus payments to certain taxpayers, new provisions on sick leave and family leave, and funding for a variety of health-related efforts and government programs.

Table of Contents
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL). This ASU was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.
To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. See discussion below of the deferral of the amendments in this ASU.
To implement the new standard the Company has purchased a software solution and has captured the information needed to implement this ASU. As part of the FASB ASC 326 implementation process, the company is using two models: a rating migration model and a probability of default model. The ratings migration model, which will be used for our larger loans made to institutions with available credit ratings, is designed to estimate loss reserves according to the CECL standard for rated loans or similar instruments. The model structure follows a grade migration approach, where the default rate is based on the probability of each grade transition which is modelled using historical data. The probability of default model, which will be used for our remaining commercial loans and our consumer loans, is based primarily on four components: loss history, product lifecycle,life cycle, behavioral attributes and the economic environment. During the fourth quarter of 2019 and during 2020, the Company tested the two CECL credit models in parallel with the existing incurred loss models. The securities
held-to-maturity
include U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, SBA Backed Securities and U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities. The CECL standard allows assumption of zero expected credit losses where expectation of
non-payment
is zero for these types of securities. The Company expects no impact from ASU

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed for an adequate reserve to absorb losses in the existing loan portfolio. This amount is determined by an evaluation of the loan portfolio, including input from an independent organization engaged to review selected larger loans, a review of loan experience and current economic conditions. Although the allowance is allocated between categories, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses attributable to all loan categories.
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Investments
Management continually evaluates its investment alternatives in order to properly manage the overall balance sheet mix. The timing of purchases, sales and reinvestments, if any, will be based on various factors including expectation of movements in market interest rates, deposit flows and loan demand. Notwithstanding these events, it is the intent of management to grow the earning asset base mainly through loan originations while funding this growth through a mix of retail deposits, FHLB advances, and retail repurchase agreements.

As illustrated in the table above, the main contributors to the increase in net interest income for the three and nine-month periods werethree-month period was a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The Company has decreased interest rates on these products as market rates have decreased. Securities

income increased, for the nine-monththree-month period, primarily as a result of an increase in volume. Securities

COVID-19
pandemic. Other income decreased mainly as a result of a decrease in loan servicing fees.insurance gains on life insurance policies. Lockbox fees increased mainly as a result of increased customer activity. Also, there were no loan sales during the third quarters of 2020 and 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. As a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the AMT credit was refunded in 2020.

Item 3.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates tied to specific assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using several tools. The Company’s primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital, while structuring the Company’s asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. Management believes that there has been no material changes in the interest rate risk reported in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information is contained in the
Form 10-K
within the Market Risk and Asset Liability Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Item 4.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, with participation of its principal executive and financial officers, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The disclosure controls and procedures also effectively ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings and submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is accumulated and reported to Company management (including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company has evaluated its internal control over financial reporting and during the first ninethree months of 20202021 there were no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As
If our merger with Eastern Bankshares, Inc. is not completed, we will have incurred substantial expenses without our shareholders realizing the expected benefits.
On April 7, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Eastern Bankshares, Inc. pursuant to which we will merge with and into Eastern, with Eastern as the surviving corporation. Completion of the merger is subject to closing conditions including, but not limited to, various regulatory approvals and the approval of our shareholders. We currently expect that the merger will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. It is possible, however, that factors outside of our control could require the parties to complete the merger at a resultlater time, or not to complete the merger at all. In the event that the merger is not consummated for any reason, we will be subject to many risks, including the costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, which must be paid even if the merger is not completed, and, potentially, the payment of the
COVID-19
pandemic,a termination fee under certain circumstances. If the Company’smerger is not consummated, the market price of our common stock could decline. We also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the merger agreement.
We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, suppliers and customers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us. Our employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the effective time of the merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.
The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our financial conditionresults. In addition, the merger agreement generally requires that we operate in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business and restricts us from taking certain actions prior to the effective time of the merger or termination of the merger agreement without Eastern’s consent in writing. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or impose conditions that are not presently anticipated.
Before the merger may be completed, certain approvals or consents must be obtained from the various bank regulatory and other authorities. There can be no assurance as to whether regulatory approval will be received or the timing of the approvals. Eastern is not obligated to complete the merger if the regulatory approvals received in connection with the completion of the merger include any conditions or restrictions that would constitute a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition” as defined in the merger agreement. There can be no assurance that regulatory approvals will not include such conditions or restrictions and such conditions or restrictions could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger.
The termination fee and the restrictions on solicitation contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us.
Until the completion of the merger, we are prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging, or with some exceptions, considering any inquiries or proposals that may lead to a proposal or offer for a merger or other business combination transaction with any person other than Eastern. In addition, we have agreed to pay a termination fee of approximately $25.7 million to Eastern in specified circumstances. These provisions could discourage other companies from trying to acquire us even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to our shareholders than Eastern has offered in the merger. The payment of the termination fee also could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation have been and may continue to be, negatively impacted. In light of the ongoing and unprecedented nature of the pandemic, it is difficult to predict its full impact on our business. Future developments, including governmental legislation and other actions, when
COVID-19
can be controlled, and when the economy may be reopened, are highly uncertain. We anticipate the
Covid-19
recession may have adverse effects on our operating results for the year ending December 31, 2020 and possibly beyond.

In connection with the merger, it is possible that our shareholders may file putative class action lawsuits against the boards of directors of the Company and/or Eastern. Among other remedies, these shareholders could seek to enjoin the merger. The outcome of any such litigation would be uncertain. If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached, such potential lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the merger and temporary result in substantial costs to Eastern and the Company, including any costs associated with indemnification obligations of the Company and/or permanent closures of businesses;
