Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the subsidiary bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends. The approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) is required to pay dividends when a bank fails to meet certain minimum regulatory capital standards or when such dividends are in excess of a subsidiary bank’s earnings retained in the current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years as specified in applicable OCC regulations. At December 31, 2022, approximately $145.3 million of the total stockholders’ equity of the Bank was available for payment of dividends to the Company without approval by the OCC. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends also is subject to the Bank’s continued compliance with regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is currently in compliance with these requirements. Under the State of Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company may declare and pay dividends either out of accumulated net retained earnings or capital surplus.

The Company purchased 400,000 shares of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2022, for a total of $14.7 million at an average price of $36.78 per share under its previously announced share repurchase program. On December 20, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for the Company to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2022, there were 1,600,000 shares available for repurchase under this plan which is set to expire on December 31, 2023.
