RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments: In June of 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-13 that requires entities to present financial assets measured at amortized cost at the net amount expected to be collected, considering an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities are required to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, with changes in credit loss estimates recognized through current earnings. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, which resulted in the recognition of $76.0 million of allowance for credit losses which includes $26.0 million attributable to loans, $5.6 million attributable to unfunded commitments, $35.7 million attributable to PCD loans, $8.5 million attributable to non-PCD acquired loans, and $220,000 attributable to securities held-to-maturity. The portion of the allowance for credit losses attributable to PCD loans did not have an impact on equity as the credit-related portion of acquisition adjustments on loans previously classified as PCI transitioned to PCD accounting treatment upon adoption. The amount of allowance for credit losses recognized upon adoption was based on the composition of the loan portfolio, as well as the economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. The Company adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach which resulted in the recognition of a $26.8 million after-tax reduction to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment on January 1, 2020. Prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable standards and the accounting policies described in the Company's 2019 10-K.

The Company has made the following elections upon adoption of ASU 2016-13:

•When determining the allowance and net carrying value amount for financial assets in which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the Company will use the fair value of collateral at the reporting date.

•The Company writes off uncollectible accrued interest in a timely manner and, therefore, will not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable.

•The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach for the majority of its applicable instruments. The change in the present value from one reporting period to the next may result from the passage of time, in addition to changes in estimates of the timing of the cash flows. The Company will report the entire change in the present value as provision for loan losses (or reversal of provision for loan losses) versus reporting the change related to the passage of time as interest income.

For additional discussion of the allowance for credit losses, see Note 7 "Past Due Loans, Allowance for Credit Losses, Non-Accrual Loans, and TDRs."

Accounting for Goodwill Impairment: In January of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill using the second step of the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment model prescribed under current accounting guidance. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020 did not materially impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement: In August of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 that eliminates, modifies, and adds to certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements associated with the three-tiered fair value hierarchy. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020 did not materially impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Loan Modifications Due to COVID-19: In March of 2020, the CARES Act was enacted by the U.S. government in response to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"). The Company's banking regulators issued a statement titled the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications by Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus" that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of the pandemic. Additionally, the CARES Act, as amended by the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into law in December 2020, provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of January

1, 2022 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the pandemic declared by the President of the United States terminates. Accordingly, the Company is offering short-term modifications made in response to the pandemic to borrowers who are current and otherwise not past due. These include short-term modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has eligible modifications with outstanding balances totaling $96.7 million.

Regulatory Capital Delay of CECL Impact: In February of 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule, the 2019 CECL Rule, that revised certain capital regulations to account for changes to credit loss accounting under U.S. GAAP. The 2019 CECL Rule included a transition option that allows banking organizations to phase in, over a three-year period, the day-one adverse effects of CECL on their regulatory capital ratios (three-year transition option). During 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a rule that maintains the three year transition option of the 2019 CECL Rule and also provides banking organizations that were required under GAAP (as of January 2020) to implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years an estimate of the effect of CECL on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). The Company elected to adopt the five-year transition option. This election of the transition option is applicable only to regulatory capital computations under federal banking regulations and does not otherwise impact the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans: In August of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 that makes minor changes and clarifications to the disclosure requirements for entities that sponsor defined benefit plans. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance will materially impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Income Taxes: In December of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 that removes certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance will materially impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Reference Rate Reform: In March of 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 that provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is in the process of determining the impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
