Q1 2022 Total Portfolio Loans ($MM) Total loan growth (excluding SBA PPP) was 0.9% sequentially, or 3.6% annualized Sequential quarter total commercial loan growth of 2.9% (annualized) driven by both commercial real estate and C&I (excluding SBA PPP) Residential mortgage growth of 7.5% year-over-year and 10.6% quarter-over-quarter (annualized) reflect retention of 75% of Q1 2022 originations of $271 million on the balance sheet Q1 2022 commercial real estate payoffs were $136 million, as compared to a more historical average of ~$85 million per quarter ~1,085 SBA PPP loans remaining total ~$77 million (as of 3/31/2022) During Q1 2022, ~867 customers received forgiveness of SBA PPP loans totaling $86 million (net of deferred fees) Note: commercial loan average payoff and new yields exclude loans funded through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA PPP”), as established by the CARES Act
