• Lending priorities emphasize qualified Deep Impact Lending; management expects maturing 2026 CDs to be substantially renewed and anticipates sufficient funds for current lending commitments.

• Management cited investment in people and technology to improve operating efficiency; no timing or quantified target was stated.

• Static-balance-sheet modeling estimated next-12-month net interest income down 10.97% under a +400 bps shock and up 7.94% under a -400 bps shock; the model indicated policy compliance.
