  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Changes in the estimated fair value of debt securities may reduce stockholders' equity and net income.

    At December 31, 2025, we maintained an available for sale debt securities portfolio of $880.6 million. The estimated fair value of the available for sale debt securities portfolio may change depending on the credit quality of the underlying issuer, market liquidity, changes in interest rates and other factors. Stockholders' equity increases or decreases by the amount of the change in the unrealized gain or loss (difference between the estimated fair value and the amortized cost) of the available for sale debt securities portfolio, net of the related tax expense or benefit, under the category of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At December 31, 2025, accumulated other comprehensive losses were $43.4 million, net of tax, primarily related to unrealized holding losses in the available for sale investment securities portfolio, which negatively impacted stockholders' equity, as well as book value per common share. We conduct a periodic review of the debt securities portfolio to determine if any decline in the estimated fair value of any security below its cost basis indicates that the security is impaired. Factors that are considered include the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition, credit rating and future prospects of the issuer, whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments and our intent and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and the likelihood of any near-term fair value recovery. If such decline is deemed to be uncollectible, the security is written down to a new cost basis and the resulting loss will be recognized as a securities credit loss expense through an allowance for securities credit losses.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline.

    The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;- changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts;- failure to meet analysts' revenue or earnings estimates;- speculation in the press or investment community;- strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;- general market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the financial services industry;- inflation and changes in interest rates;- the imposition of tariffs and any retaliatory responses;- proposed or adopted legislative, regulatory or accounting changes or developments;- anticipated or pending investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve or affect us; or - domestic and international political and economic factors unrelated to our performance. The stock market and, in particular, the market for financial institution stocks, has experienced significant volatility. The trading price of the shares of our common stock will depend on many factors, which may change from time to time, including, without limitation, our financial condition, performance, creditworthiness and prospects, future sales of our equity securities, and other factors identified in the section captioned "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Share ownership may be diluted by the issuance of additional shares of our common stock in the future.

    We may decide to raise additional funds for many reasons, including in response to regulatory or other requirements, to meet our liquidity and capital needs, to finance our operations and business strategy or for other reasons. If we raise funds, by issuing equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced. Further, the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Anti-takeover provisions and state and federal law may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline.

    Various provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws could delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions provide for, among other things, supermajority approval for certain actions, limitation on large stockholders taking certain actions and authorization to issue "blank check" preferred stock by action of the Board of Directors without stockholder approval. In addition, the BHCA, and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, together with applicable federal regulations, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either Federal Reserve approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve and not disapproved prior to any person or entity acquiring "control" of a state nonmember bank, such as the Bank. Additional prior approvals from other federal or state bank regulators may also be necessary depending upon the particular circumstances. These provisions may prevent a merger or acquisition that would be attractive to stockholders and could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
