Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-06 "Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative." The amendments in this Update are the result of the FASB’s decision to incorporate into the Accounting Standards Codification certain disclosure requirements, referred by the SEC, that require incremental information to US GAAP. Topics in the ASU that have applicability to the Company are as follows:

* Statement of Cash Flows - requires an accounting policy disclosure in annual periods of where cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and losses are presented in the statement of cash flows.

* Debt- requires disclosure of amounts and terms of unused lines of credit and unfunded commitments and the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding short-term borrowings.

* Derivatives and Hedging - adds cross-reference to disclosure requirements related to where cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and losses are presented in the statement of cash flows.

The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Accounting Standards Codification and will not become effective for any entity. Management is reviewing the provisions of ASU 2023-06, and does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this Update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income [or loss] by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments also require disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national) and state jurisdictions. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. Management adopted the Update effective December 31, 2025, as required, without material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this Update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each

interim and annual reporting period (1) the Company disclose the amounts of (a) employee compensation, (b) depreciation, and (c) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed. (2) Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. (3) Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. (4) Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this Update or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the Update and does not expect adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Purchased Loans. The amendments in this Update expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. In accordance with the amendments in this Update, loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned” are purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. All non- PCD (purchased financial asset with credit deterioration) loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to loans that are acquired on or after the initial application date. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Management is currently evaluating the Update and does not expect adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) — Hedge Accounting Improvements. The amendments in this Update are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The amendments included in five issues addressed in this Update are intended to better reflect those strategies in financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. The issues addressed in the ASU include:

(1) expanding the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge by changing the requirement to designate a group of individual forecasted transactions from having a shared risk exposure to having a similar risk exposure;

(2) providing a model to facilitate the application of cash flow hedge accounting to forecasted interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments with contractual terms that permit the borrower to change the interest rate index and interest rate tenor (that is, reset frequency) upon which interest is accrued (commonly referred to as “choose-your-rate” debt instruments);

(3) expanding hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets;

(4) updating the hedge accounting guidance to accommodate differences in the loan and swap markets that developed after the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate. Specifically, the amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement to apply the net written option test to a compound derivative comprising a swap and a written option designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge of interest rate risk; and

(5) eliminating the recognition and presentation mismatch related to a dual hedge strategy (that is, a hedge for which a foreign currency-denominated debt instrument is both designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge and designated as the hedged item in a fair value hedge of interest rate risk).

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of this Update. Entities should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective

basis for all hedging relationships. An entity may elect to adopt the amendments in this Update for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption of the amendments in this Update, entities are permitted to modify certain critical terms of certain existing hedging relationships without de-designating the hedge. Management is currently evaluating the Update and does not expect adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270) -- Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this Update clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendments in this Update result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. In developing the list of disclosures required by other Topics, the FASB Board focused on identifying the interim disclosures that are currently required under GAAP. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in this Update also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update can be applied either (1) prospectively or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the Update and does not expect adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12 Codification Improvements. The amendments in this Update represent changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments in this Update are varied in nature and may affect the application of guidance in cases in which the original guidance may have been unclear. Codification improvements are generally not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or result in significant costs to most entities. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Management is currently evaluating the Update and does not expect adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

About New Standards Disclosures

New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.

Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
