Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

 

Chemung Financial Corporation’s (the “Corporation”) wholly owned subsidiary, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the “Bank”), owns a participating interest totaling $4.2 million in an approximately $36.0 million commercial credit secured by business assets. The lead lender recently advised the Bank of a default on the credit due to potentially fraudulent activity. The Corporation is currently evaluating the situation but expects that the Corporation’s third quarter 2019 net income and net income per share will be adversely affected. The Bank expects to remain well-capitalized subsequent to recording any potential loss associated with this credit. The Bank plans to pursue all available sources of collection and other means of mitigating the potential loss, but no assurance can be given that it will be successful in this regard. Based on the Bank’s review of the circumstances of the alleged fraudulent activities involving this borrower, the Bank believes this incident is isolated to the subject credit.

 

The information contained in this Form 8-K provided under Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.
