Approximately 80% of the estimated increase is related to: ◦ Additions to existing reserves for unfunded lending-related commitments due to the consideration under CECL of expected utilization by the Company's borrowers over the life of such commitments. ◦ Establishment of reserves for acquired loans which previously considered credit discounts.

The key drivers of the shift in credit quality mix include: • Risk rating upgrades as a result of improved credit performance. • Increase in pass rated credits was driven by commercial loan growth and higher utilization on existing lines partially offset by decline in PPP Loans.
