NOTE 26. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In February 2022, the Company purchased $133.1 million in unpaid principal balances of single-family residential mortgage loans from a privately owned non-affiliated bank holding company. In addition, the Company entered into a subservicing agreement with the bank holding company pursuant to which it would service the purchased loans on an ongoing basis and the Company could outsource servicing of loans purchased from third parties to it. The Company’s former Chairman of the Board of Directors and now Lead Director (the "former Chairman") is a director of the non-affiliated bank holding company.

On December 30, 2021, the Company purchased in a private placement 1,000,000 depository shares each representing an ownership interest in a share of non-voting Fixed-Rate, Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of the same bank holding company for the purchase price of $25 per depository share for a total of $25.0 million for investment purposes.

In the normal course of business, the Bank purchases corporate securities for investment purposes. At December 31, 2022, the following security was in our securities portfolio and issued by a non-affiliated bank holding company of which the former Chairman is a managing member of funds that own greater than 5% of the non-affiliated bank holding company's common stock: one subordinated debt security with a par value of $4.5 million.

The transactions described above were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance with our related party transactions policy.
