Note 1:Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activities are the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, CrossFirst Bank (the “Bank”). In addition, the Bank has three subsidiaries including CrossFirst Investments, Inc. (“CFI”) that holds investments in marketable securities, CFBSA I, LLC that holds foreclosed assets and CFBSA II, LLC that holds foreclosed assets.

The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers through its branches in: (i) Leawood, Kansas; (ii) Wichita, Kansas; (iii) Kansas City, Missouri; (iv) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; (v) Tulsa, Oklahoma; (vi) Dallas, Texas; and (vii) Frisco, Texas. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered the Phoenix, Arizona market.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, CFI, CFBSA I, LLC and CFBSA II, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2021.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments which are of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and the disclosures made are adequate to make the interim financial information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the SEC.

No significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company occurred since December 31, 2020, the most recent date financial statements were provided within the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

Use of Estimates

The Company identified accounting policies and estimates that, due to the difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assumptions inherent in those policies and estimates and the potential sensitivity of the Company’s financial statements to those judgments and assumptions, are critical to an understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and resulting impacts to economic conditions, as well as adverse impacts to the Company’s operations, may impact future estimates. The allowance for loan losses, deferred tax asset, and fair value of financial instruments are particularly susceptible to significant change.

Cash Equivalents

The Company had $182 million of cash and cash equivalents at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City as of June 30, 2021. The reserve required at June 30, 2021 was $0.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)

The CARES Act gave financial institutions the right to elect to suspend GAAP principles and regulatory determinations for loan modifications relating to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) from March 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law, which extended the period during which the Company may suspend GAAP principles and regulatory determinations for loan modifications relating to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as TDRs through January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date when the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates. The Company elected to apply the guidance starting in the first quarter of 2020.

Changes Affecting Comparability

Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the “Goodwill and other intangible assets, net” into “Other assets” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consolidation was due to the immateriality of the remaining intangible assets. The change had no impact on net income.

Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”)

The Company is currently an EGC. An EGC may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. Among the reductions and reliefs, the Company elected to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. This means that the financial statements the Company files or furnishes, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as the Company remains an EGC or until the Company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides information about Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) the Company anticipates to adopt in the future:

Standard

Anticipated Date of Adoption

Description

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

ASU 2016-13

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses

If the Company maintains its EGC status, the Company is not required to implement this standard until January 2023. The Company anticipates an adoption date of January 2022.

Requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss model to estimate its lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.

The Company established a committee of individuals from applicable departments to oversee the implementation process. The Company completed the third-party software implementation phase that included data capture and portfolio segmentation amongst other items.

The Company completed parallel runs in 2019. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company continued to perform parallel runs using 2020 data and continued to recalibrate inputs as necessary. The Company is evaluating the internal control changes that will be necessary to transition to the third-party platform and third-party testing is anticipated later in 2021.

At this time, an estimate of the impact cannot be established as the Company continues to evaluate the inputs into the model. The actual impact could be significantly affected by the composition, characteristics, and quality of the underlying loan portfolio at the time of adoption.

ASU 2016-02

Leases (Topic 842)

The Company expects to implement this standard on January 1, 2022.

Requires lessees and lessors to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.

The update requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with the option to elect certain practical expedients. The update will also increase disclosures around leases, including qualitative and specific quantitative measures.

The Company expects to apply the update as of the beginning of the period of adoption and the Company does not plan to restate comparative periods. The Company expects to elect certain optional practical expedients.

The Company gathered all potential lease and embedded lease agreements and is evaluating the applicability and impact to the financial statements.

The Company’s current operating leases relate primarily to four branch locations. Based on the current leases, the Company anticipates recognizing a lease liability and related right-to-use asset on its balance sheet, with an immaterial impact to its income statement compared to the current lease accounting model. However, the ultimate impact of the standard will depend on the Company's lease portfolio as of the adoption date.

(1)The gross gains for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 included $75 thousand related to a previously disclosed OTTI municipal security that was settled in 2020.

Equity Securities

Equity securities consist of a $2 million investment in a Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) mutual fund, a $100 thousand private equity investment and an $11 million privately-held security acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020 as part of a debt restructuring. Equity securities are included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The privately-held security was acquired in partial satisfaction of debts previously contracted. The Company elected a measurement alternative that allows the security to remain at cost until an impairment is identified or an observable price change for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer occurs. Impairment is recorded when there is evidence that the expected fair value of the investment has declined to below the recorded cost. No changes to the cost basis occurred during the six-months ended June 30, 2021. The Company is required to make good faith efforts to dispose of the security. The shares may be held for a maximum of five years, subject to a five-year extension that would result in a change to Tier 1 capital.

The following is a summary of the unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities:

Allowance for Loan Losses


Table of Contents			Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

The ALLL is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged against income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the loan balance is not collectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The ALLL is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of its ability to collect the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The ALLL consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all loans on accrual and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process and loan categories. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

The Company evaluates the loan risk grading system definitions, portfolio segment definitions and ALLL methodology on an ongoing basis. No changes to loan definitions, segmentation, or ALLL methodology occurred during the second quarter of 2021.

The following tables summarize the activity in the ALLL by portfolio segment and disaggregated based on the Company’s impairment methodology. The allocation in one portfolio segment does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments:

Credit Risk Profile

The Company analyzes its loan portfolio based on internal rating categories (grades 1 - 8), portfolio segmentation and payment activity. These categories are utilized to develop the associated ALLL. A description of the loan grades and segments follows:

Loan Grades

•Pass (risk rating 1-4) - The category includes loans that are considered satisfactory. The category includes borrowers that generally maintain good liquidity and financial condition or the credit is currently protected with sales trends remaining flat or declining. Most ratios compare favorably with industry norms and Company policies. Debt is programmed and timely repayment is expected.

•Special Mention (risk rating 5) - The category includes borrowers that generally exhibit adverse trends in operations or an imbalanced position in their balance sheet that has not reached a point where repayment is jeopardized. Credits are currently protected but, if left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or in the Company’s credit or lien position at a future date. These credits are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to enough risk to warrant adverse classification.

•Substandard (risk rating 6) - The category includes borrowers that generally exhibit well-defined weakness(es) that jeopardize repayment. Credits are inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. A distinct possibility exists that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. Substandard loans include both performing and nonperforming loans and are broken out in the table below.

•Doubtful (risk rating 7) - The category includes borrowers that exhibit weaknesses inherent in a substandard credit and characteristics that these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based on existing facts, conditions and values. Because of reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

•Loss (risk rating 8) - Credits which are considered uncollectible or of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.

Loan Portfolio Segments

•Commercial - The category includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital, equipment purchases and expansions. Repayment is primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.

•Energy - The category includes loans to oil and natural gas customers for use in financing working capital needs, exploration and production activities, and acquisitions. The loans are repaid primarily from the conversion of crude oil and natural gas to cash. Credit risk is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations. Energy loans are typically collateralized with the underlying oil and gas reserves.

•Commercial Real Estate - The category includes loans that typically involve larger principal amounts and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market areas.

•Construction and Land Development - The category includes loans that are usually based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project and include independent appraisal reviews and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment include permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Credit risk may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market areas.

•Residential and Multifamily Real Estate - The category includes loans that are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences or multifamily properties. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers or underlying tenants. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic


Table of Contents			Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

conditions within or outside the borrower’s market areas that might impact either property values, a borrower’s personal income, or residents’ income.

•PPP - The category includes loans that were established by the CARES Act which authorized forgivable loans to small businesses to pay their employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The loans are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA and repayment is primarily dependent on the borrower’s cash flow or SBA repayment approval.

•Consumer - The category includes revolving lines of credit and various term loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the borrower’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on internal rating categories (grades 1 - 8), portfolio segmentation, and payment activity:

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The intent of concessions is to maximize collection.

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. The following tables present loans individually evaluated for impairment, including all restructured and formerly restructured loans, for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Non-accrual Loans

Non-accrual loans are loans for which the Company does not record interest income. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date, if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The following table presents the Company’s non-accrual loans by loan category at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Restructured loans are those extended to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty and who have been granted a concession, excluding loan modifications as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The modification of terms typically includes the extension of maturity, reduction or deferment of monthly payment, or reduction of the stated interest rate.

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the modifications related to the TDRs below did not impact the ALLL because the loans were previously impaired and evaluated on an individual basis or enough collateral was obtained.

Note 5:Derivatives and Hedging

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to clients. The Company executes interest rate swaps with customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

Note 8:Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes that, as of June 30, 2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The capital rules require the Company to maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer with respect to Common Equity Tier I capital, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which is included in the column “Minimum Capital Required - Basel III” within the table below. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, as well as certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are presented in the following table:

The Company awards PBSAs to key officers of the Company. The PBSAs typically cliff-vest at the end of three years based on attainment of certain performance metrics developed by the Compensation Committee. The ultimate number of shares issuable under each performance award is the product of the award target and the award payout percentage given the level of achievement. The award payout percentages by level of achievement range between 0% of target and 150% of target.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 63,631 PBSAs. The performance metrics include three-year cumulative, adjusted earnings per share and relative total shareholder return.

The following table summarizes the status of and changes in the PBSAs:


	Performance-Based Stock Awards
	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested, January 1, 2021	231,631	$10.51

Vested	(77,426)	11.31
Forfeited	0	0.00
Unvested, June 30, 2021	220,260	$10.90

Unrecognized stock-based compensation related to the PBSAs issued through June 30, 2021 was $717 thousand and is expected to be recognized over 2.7 years.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”)

The Company issues RSUs and RSAs to provide incentives to key officers, employees, and nonemployee directors. Awards are typically granted annually as determined by the Compensation Committee. The service-based RSUs typically vest in equal amounts over three years. The service-based RSAs typically cliff-vest after one year.

Note 11:Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Recurring Measurements

The following list presents the assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Fair Value Description

Valuation Hierarchy Level

Where Fair Value Balance Can Be Found

Available-for-Sale Securities and equity security

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows.

Level 2

Note 3: Securities

Derivatives

Fair value of the interest rate swaps is obtained from independent pricing services based on quoted market prices for similar derivative contracts.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer.

Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability


Table of Contents			Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer by comparison to historical results.

Foreclosed Assets Held-for-Sale

The fair value of foreclosed assets-held-for-sale is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell.

Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs

Update on the COVID-19 Global Pandemic (“COVID-19”) Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and may continue to cause, economic uncertainty and a disruption to the financial markets, the duration and extent of which is not currently known. A discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its operations and measures undertaken by the Company in response thereto is provided below.

Bank Operations

The Company implemented certain business continuity procedures in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, substantially all employees returned to on-premise work and the Company is evaluating hybrid working opportunities. In addition, the bank lobbies were re-opened to the public. The Company remains ready to appropriately respond to changes, including federal, state and local requirements in the event of the COVID-19 pandemic's resurgence. No material interruptions to our business operations have occurred to date.

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Lending Facility and Loans

The PPP was established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) in March 2020 and authorized forgivable loans to small businesses. The Bank provided PPP loans to support current customers and foster relationships with new customers. The loans earn interest at 1%, include fees between 1% and 5% and typically mature in two years. PPP loans received a 0% risk weight under the regulatory capital rules which resulted in increased Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and Tier 2 capital ratios, but the PPP loans are included in the calculation of our Leverage ratio.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 allocated additional PPP loan funding. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) reopened PPP funds in January 2021. The second round of PPP loans had similar terms to the first round of PPP loans mentioned above, but typically mature in five years. The PPP loans were available through May 5, 2021. The SBA will continue to fund outstanding, approved PPP applications.

The following table summarizes the impact of the PPP loans on our financials:

Unearned fee balance, end	$	4,708	$	7,885	$	4,708	$	7,885

Credit Quality

Credit quality metrics generally improved during the second quarter of 2021 as classified assets declined by $99 million and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 1.09% from 1.15% in the previous quarter. The improvements in credit metrics were primarily driven by upgrades in COVID-19 impacted segments and the energy portfolio.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted and may continue to impact our borrowers that may result in additional charge-offs. However, the Company’s key credit metrics generally improved during the first half of 2021 and are expected to continue to improve should the overall economy continue its current trajectory.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, including net interest margin, is presented on a tax-equivalent basis below. A tax-equivalent basis presents all income taxable as if taxable at the same rate. For example, $100 of tax-exempt income would be presented as $126.58, an amount that, if taxed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% would yield $100. We believe a tax-equivalent basis provides for improved comparability between the various earning assets.

Changes in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to: (i) changes in volume (change in volume times old rate); (ii) changes in rates (change in rate times old volume); and (iii) changes in rate/volume (change in rate times the change in volume).

(1) Tax exempt income is calculated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-free municipal securities are exempt from Federal income taxes. The incremental tax rate used is 21.0%.
(2) The change in interest not due solely to volume or rate has been allocated in proportion to the respective absolute dollar amounts of the change in volume or rate.

Interest income - Interest income declined for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, lower yields on loans were driven by more than $1 billion of loans tied to LIBOR. LIBOR dropped approximately 25 basis points on average between the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021. In addition, maturities of higher interest rate loans were renewed or replaced at lower rates. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, lower yields on earning assets were driven by a decline in the interest rate environment. The decline in asset yields was partially offset by year-over-year loan growth and PPP loan income.

Interest expense - Interest expense declined for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. The cost of interest-bearing deposits declined due to strategic rate changes in our deposit products driven by the declining interest rate environment. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, the average volume for interest-bearing deposits declined primarily as a result of time deposit maturities and current rates on time deposits. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, the decline in interest expense due to changes in rates was partially offset by an increase in average volume due to increased liquidity in the market.

Average FHLB and other borrowings declined for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, as the Company’s increase in cash offset the need to renew or increase these borrowings. The increase in the cost of FHLB borrowings was the result of short-term duration borrowings with lower rates that matured in 2020 and were not renewed.

Net interest income - Net interest income increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 driven by rate and volume declines in interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in interest-earning asset volume.

Impact of Transition Away from LIBOR

The Company had more than $1.4 billion in loans tied to LIBOR at June 30, 2021. The Company anticipates that, starting in October 2021, it will no longer add loans using the LIBOR index. For current borrowers, the Company is modifying loan document language to account for the transition away from LIBOR as loans renew or originate. The Company plans to replace LIBOR based loans with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” in 2020. The ASU allows the Company to recognize the modification related to LIBOR as a continuation of the old contract, rather than a cancellation of the old contract resulting in a write-off of unamortized fees and creation of a new contract.

The changes in non-interest income were driven by the following:

Service charges and fees on customer accounts - This category includes account analysis fees offset by a customer rebate program. The increase for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same corresponding periods in 2020 was driven by a decline in costs associated with our rebate program, including a reduction in the funded balance and reduction in rates used. In addition, customer growth and an increase in transactions improved account analysis fees.

Realized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities - The decrease for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same corresponding periods in 2020 was primarily due to the value and volume of the Company’s securities sold in 2020 in the declining rate environment. The 2020 sales were a strategic decision by management to capitalize on attractive market conditions and improve credit quality.

Income from bank-owned life insurance - During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $2 million in tax-free death benefits from a bank-owned life insurance policy compared to $0 of such proceeds for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2020.

Swap fee and credit valuation adjustments, net - This category includes swap fees from the execution of new swaps and the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). Swap fees on new swaps depend on the size and term of the underlying asset. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, no new swaps were executed compared to zero and two new swaps for the three- and six-month

Table of Contents

periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The low volume of new swaps was due to management's loan and pricing strategy and lower long-term interest rates.

ATM and credit card interchange income - The increase in ATM and credit card interchange income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily the result of customers that mobilized their workforce directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As anticipated, the Company saw an $822 thousand decline for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior, three month period ended March 31, 2021 as COVID-19 cases declined. The Company anticipates the credit card activity and related income will continue to fluctuate in connection with changes in COVID-19 cases and the related vaccine rollout.

Other non-interest income - The increase in other non-interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 was related to $183 thousand in state employment incentives that we received in the second quarter of 2021. We anticipate a similar benefit in the third quarter of 2021 and will continue to receive the incentive quarterly going forward for three years, but at significantly lower amounts. The Company also saw a $278 thousand and $392 thousand increase in letter of credit and foreign exchange fees for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding periods in 2020, respectively.

The changes in noninterest expense were driven by the following:

Salary and Employee Benefits - Salary and employee benefit costs increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to an increase in anticipated payouts for performance-based awards that resulted from improved earnings and asset quality metrics. In addition, the Company recognized $719 thousand in costs due to the death of an

Table of Contents

employee during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The costs related to the accelerated vesting of stock-based awards and the annual incentive award held by the employee upon the employee’s death.

The increase in these costs were offset by reductions in headcount that resulted in a benefit of $564 thousand and $794 thousand for the three- and six-months periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, respectively. The Company optimized staffing levels during the second half of 2020 and savings began to materialize in 2021.

Occupancy - Occupancy costs increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to our new locations in the rapidly growing Frisco, Texas market and our more prominent location on the Country Club Plaza, in Kansas City, Missouri. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered the Phoenix, Arizona market and entered into a temporary lease agreement that is expected to have an immaterial impact to occupancy costs for the quarter ending September 30, 2021.

Professional Fees - Professional fees declined for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same corresponding periods in 2020 primarily from a reduction in legal fees related to PPP loan originations and loan workouts. The decline was partially offset by an increase in consulting fees as a result of our CFO search.

Deposit Insurance Premiums - The FDIC uses a risk-based premium system to calculate quarterly fees. Our costs fluctuate as a result of changes in asset growth, changes in asset quality and changes in capital ratios.

Advertising - The increase in advertising costs was driven by increased in-person events for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions being lifted.

Software and Communication - Software and communication costs increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to our continued strategy to invest in technologies that allow us to cover beginning-to-end loan originations, provide customers with a suite of online tools and allow us to analyze operational trends. In addition to the growing number of technologies implemented, a portion of costs increased as a result of our growth.

Foreclosed Assets, net - The value of a commercial use facility foreclosed upon in 2020 was reduced by $630 thousand during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The value of industrial facilities and raw land foreclosed upon in 2019 was reduced by $1 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Goodwill Impairment - The Company performed an interim review for goodwill impairment at June 30, 2020. A quantitative review was performed on the Tulsa market reporting unit using a combination of income and market based approaches. The reporting unit’s fair value was less than its book value and resulted in a $7 million impairment during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Other Non-interest Expense - Other non-interest expense increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to a $465 thousand and $1 million increase in commercial card costs, respectively, as a result of our growing customer base and increased use as a result of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions being lifted. In addition, insured cash sweep (“ICS”) deposits increased in 2021 from 2020, which drove related fees higher.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Securities Portfolio

The securities portfolio is maintained to serve as a contingent, on-balance sheet source of liquidity. The objective of the investment portfolio is to optimize earnings, manage credit and interest rate risk, ensure adequate liquidity, and meet pledging and regulatory capital requirements. As of June 30, 2021, available-for-sale investments totaled $712 million, an increase of $58 million from December 31, 2020. For additional information, see “Note 3: Securities” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loan Portfolio

Refer to “Note 4: Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, gross loans declined $203 million or 5% from December 31, 2020 and was driven by the following:

PPP - PPP loans decreased $95 million or 33% from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. PPP loan activity is detailed in the “Second Quarter 2021 Highlights” section within Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The loans are guaranteed by the SBA, earn interest at 1.00%, and include a fee. The PPP loans will decline as the SBA forgives the loans and provides repayment to the Bank.

Construction and Land Development - The $60 million or 11% increase was driven by customer drawdowns on lines of credit primarily for commercial projects.

Energy - Our energy portfolio declined $19 million or 5% from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 primarily due to pay downs on outstanding lines of credit. Customers remain impacted by lower oil and natural gas prices that strained operating cash flow and the ability to pay down their lines of credit. The Company expects the energy portfolio to decline further as part of management’s strategy to lower our oil and natural gas loan concentrations.

Commercial - The $151 million or 11% decline in commercial loans was driven by $11 million of charge-offs taken, an increase in pay downs and $28 million of loans sold to a third-party. The loans sold were written down to the sales price prior to the sale.

The following table shows the contractual maturities of our gross loans and sensitivity to interest rate changes:

Refer to “Note 4: Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the activity in the allowance for loan losses. A discussion of the changes in the ALLL is provided below:

Charge-offs and Recoveries:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, charge-offs primarily related to a commercial borrower. The $3 million charged-off was greater than the reserved balance in the ALLL at December 31, 2020 resulting in a $2 million increase in the provision during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, charge-offs primarily related to two commercial borrowers that were unable to support their debt obligations. The $8 million charged-off was greater than the reserved balance in the ALLL at December 31, 2020 resulting in a $5 million increase in the provision during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company charged-off one energy loan that was classified for several years and accounted for the majority of net charge-offs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net charge-offs included an $18 million charge-off related to a previously disclosed non-performing, commercial loan. The commercial loan had a specific reserve associated with it as of December 31, 2019, resulting in a limited impact to the first quarter 2020 provision. In addition, the Company charged off $1 million related to one oil exploration and production credit.

Impact of Risk Rating Changes:

Loans risk rated “accruing, substandard” that are not TDRs declined $95 million between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 resulting in a $9 million decrease to the required reserve. The decline was driven by approximately $69 million of loans upgraded primarily due to an improving economy and approximately $41 million of loan pay downs, including two commercial loans partially charged-off, discussed above, totaling $28 million that were sold in the first quarter of 2021. The declines were offset by loans that were downgraded to “accruing, substandard” during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The commercial loan portfolio had elevated charge-offs over the past five quarters. The charge-offs impacted the commercial loan historical loss factor that resulted in a $3 million increase to the required reserve during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Impaired Loans and Other Factors:

Impaired loans declined $21 million between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, driven by $15 million of loans upgraded, including an $8 million loan upgraded due to an increase in capital, and a $10 million decline as a result of payments made by several borrowers offset by approximately $4 million of loans impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The reduction in impaired loans and related reserve was offset by changes in underlying collateral values that ultimately increased the ALLL by $3 million.

Nonperforming Assets and Other Asset Quality Metrics

Nonperforming assets include: (i) nonperforming loans - includes non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that are not performing in accordance with their modified terms; (ii) foreclosed assets held for sale; (iii) repossessed assets; and (iv) impaired securities.

Nonaccrual loans declined $9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to $6 million of loans placed back on accrual status due to payments made or being in the process of collection. In addition, two commercial loans were able to pay down their outstanding balance that decreased the nonaccrual total by $5 million. The reductions were offset by a $3 million commercial loan that matured in the first quarter of 2021 and for which the borrower was unable to make the required payments.

Nonaccrual loans declined $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to one commercial real estate loan borrower that recapitalized its balance sheet and was placed back on accrual. In addition, several commercial borrowers were able to pay down a portion of the outstanding loan balance during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Nonaccrual energy loans increased slightly between December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 as oil and natural gas borrowers struggled from the effects of low oil and gas prices over the past year.

During 2020, nonaccrual loans increased primarily from energy loans that did not meet the criteria to be modified under the CARES Act and several loans impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Foreclosed assets held-for-sale declined $629 thousand during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 due to an additional write-down on a commercial property.

The Company's classified assets as of June 30, 2021 declined $99 million since March 31, 2021. The decline was driven by $18 million in loan payoffs, $56 million in loans upgraded, $35 million in pay downs partially offset by $11 million of new or increased loan balances. The decrease in classified assets was primarily related to commercial, energy and commercial real estate loans that improved due to better economic conditions.

The Company's classified assets as of March 31, 2021 decreased $17 million from December 31, 2020. The decline was driven by $30 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans upgraded due to improvements in the borrowers’ capital structure and $8 million in pay downs from classified loans, offset by an increase of approximately $21 million in downgraded loans, primarily from our energy and commercial loan portfolio.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

The following table sets forth the maturity of time deposits as of June 30, 2021:


	As of June 30, 2021
	Three Months or Less		Three to Six Months		Six to Twelve Months		After Twelve Months		Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Time deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limit	$	99,085	$	62,390	$	78,251	$	47,480	$	287,206
Time deposits below FDIC insurance limit	139,572		126,376		139,175		111,718		516,841
Total	$	238,657	$	188,766	$	217,426	$	159,198	$	804,047

At June 30, 2021, our deposits totaled $4 billion, a decrease of $338 million or 7% from December 31, 2020. Of this decrease, $199 million were money market, NOW and savings deposits and $239 million were time deposits. Declines were offset by a $100 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits. The decline in money market, NOW and savings deposits was driven by required payments from our customers to the Internal Revenue Service and interest rate competition. The decrease in time deposits resulted from maturities and the low interest rate environment.

Other borrowings include FHLB advances, repurchase agreements and our trust preferred security. At June 30, 2021, other borrowings totaled $284 million, a $12 million or 4% decrease from December 31, 2020. The decline was driven by borrowings that matured and were not replaced during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to increased Company liquidity.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $333 million of deposits with one customer relationship. The Company evaluated the deposit concentration and determined that a significant reduction to these deposits would not adversely impact the Company as sufficient liquidity is accessible and at favorable rates.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $2 billion of uninsured deposits, which is an estimated amount based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for the bank’s regulatory requirements. The Company believes that its current capital ratios and liquidity are sufficient to mitigate the risks of uninsured deposits.

Liquidity

The Company’s liquidity strategy is to maintain adequate, but not excessive, liquidity to meet the daily cash flow needs of its clients while attempting to achieve adequate earnings for its stockholders. The liquidity position is monitored continuously by the Company’s finance department. Liquidity resources can be derived from two sources: (i) on-balance sheet liquidity resources, which represent funds currently on the balance sheet and (ii) off-balance sheet liquidity resources, which represent funds available from third-party sources. Our on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet liquidity resources consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:


	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
	(Dollars in thousands)





Total on-balance sheet liquidity	$	918,959		$	1,046,110




Total off-balance sheet liquidity	689,513			756,325
Total liquidity	$	1,608,472		$	1,802,435
On-balance sheet liquidity as a percent of assets	17		%	19		%
Total liquidity as a percent of assets	30		%	32		%

The Company believes that its current liquidity will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party, venture capital firm. The Company invested $100 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and will invest up to $3 million into the venture capital fund. The fund was designed to invest in companies that find solutions for community banks and help accelerate technology adoption for community banks.

Table of Contents

Refer to “Note 6: Time Deposits and Borrowings” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for our significant contractual cash obligations to third parties. In addition, the Company has various lease agreements with approximately $32 million of future minimum lease payments at June 30, 2021.

Contractual obligations may be satisfied through our on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet liquidity discussed above.

Capital Resources and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The regulatory capital requirements involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, select off-balance sheet items and equity. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Note 8: Regulatory Matters” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Management believes that as of June 30, 2021, the Company and the bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The Company is subject to off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the needs of its clients that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Refer to “Note 12: Commitments and Credit Risk” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a breakout of our off-balance sheet arrangements. As of June 30, 2021, the Company believes it has sufficient access to liquid assets to support the funding of these commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company identified several accounting policies that are critical to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assumptions that create potential sensitivity of our financial statements to those judgments and assumptions. These policies relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, investment securities impairment, deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. A discussion of these policies can be found in the section captioned “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2020 Form 10-K.

There have been no additional changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

A primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Interest rate risk management is a key element of the Company’s balance sheet management. Interest rate risk is the risk that NIM will erode over time due to changing market conditions. Many factors can cause margins to erode: (i) lower loan demand; (ii) increased competition for funds; (iii) weak pricing policies; (iv) balance sheet mismatches; and (v) changing liquidity demands. The objective is to maximize income while minimizing interest rate risk. The Company manages its sensitivity position using its interest rate risk policy. The management of interest rate risk is a three-step process and involves: (i) measuring the interest rate risk position; (ii) policy constraints; and (iii) strategic review and implementation.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Funds Management Committee (“FMC”). The FMC uses a combination of three systems to measure the balance sheet’s interest rate risk position. The three systems in combination are expected to provide a better overall result than a single system alone. The three systems include: (i) gap reports; (ii) earnings simulation; and (iii) economic value of equity. The FMC’s primary tools to change the interest rate risk position are: (i) investment portfolio duration; (ii) deposit and borrowing mix; and (iii) on balance sheet derivatives.

Table of Contents

The FMC evaluates interest rate risk using a rate shock method and rate ramp method. In a rate shock analysis, rates change immediately and the change is sustained over the time horizon. In a rate ramp analysis, rate changes occur gradually over time. The following tables summarize the simulated changes in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon using a rate shock and rate ramp method as of the dates indicated:


Hypothetical Change in Interest Rate - Rate Shock
	June 30, 2021				June 30, 2020
Change in Interest Rate (Basis Points)	Percent change in net interest income		Percent change in fair value of equity		Percent change in net interest income		Percent change in fair value of equity
+300	2.9	%	(10.0)	%	2.9	%	(7.5)	%

-100	NA(1)		NA(1)		NA(1)		NA(1)
-200	NA(1)		NA(1)		NA(1)		NA(1)
(1) The Company decided to exclude the down rate environment from its analysis due to the already low interest rate environment.


Hypothetical Change in Interest Rate - Rate Ramp

Change in Interest Rate (Basis Points)	Percent change in net interest income		Percent change in net interest income
+300	0.9	%	1.7	%
+200	0.2		1.1
+100	(0.3)		0.6
Base	—	%	—	%
-100	NA(1)		NA(1)
-200	NA(1)		NA(1)
(1) The Company decided to exclude the down rate environment from its analysis due to the already low interest rate environment.

The Company’s position is relatively neutral as of June 30, 2021. The hypothetical change in net interest income as of June 30, 2021 in an up 100 basis point shock is mainly due to floors on variable rate loans that limit interest income growth as rates start to rise and the number of fixed-rate PPP loans outstanding. In addition, the Company reduced wholesale deposits and time deposits to lower interest rate sensitivity in the current low rate environment. As a result, our interest-bearing liabilities reprice at the same speed as our earning assets in an up 100 basis point rate environment. The FMC has several options available, including an increase in fixed-rate deposits and using on balance sheet derivatives, that could reduce the short-term, negative impact of a rising interest rate environment. The Company expects that forgiveness of our PPP loans over the near term may improve net interest income if rates were to increase. Approximately 65% of the Company’s earning assets reprice or mature over the next 12 months.

The models the Company uses include assumptions regarding interest rates while balances remain unchanged. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the second quarter of 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, we are named or threatened to be named as a defendant in various lawsuits. Management, following consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or growth prospects. However, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the updated risk factor below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2020 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

We may not be able to manage the risks associated with our anticipated growth and expansion through de novo branching.

Our business strategy includes evaluating potential strategic opportunities to grow through de novo branching. We are in the process of opening a de novo branch in Phoenix, Arizona. De novo branching carries with it certain potential risks, including significant startup costs and anticipated initial operating losses; an inability to gain regulatory approval; an inability to secure the services of qualified senior management to operate the de novo banking location and successfully integrate and promote our corporate culture; poor market reception for de novo banking locations established in markets where we do not have a preexisting reputation; challenges posed by local economic conditions; challenges associated with securing attractive locations at a reasonable cost; and the additional strain on management resources and internal systems and controls. Failure to adequately manage the risks associated with our anticipated growth through de novo branching could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Repurchase Program

The following table summarizes our repurchases of our common shares for the three-months ended June 30, 2021:

Total	875,696	$	14.69	875,696

On October 20, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $20 million of its common stock. Repurchases under the program could be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The program did not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it could be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. No time limit was set for completion of the program.

On June 30, 2021, the Company completed its share repurchase program under which the Company purchased $20 million of its common stock.
