The Company's Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table summarizes the purchases made by or on behalf of the Company or certain affiliated purchasers of shares of the Company's common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2026:

(1) On June 5, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $10.0 million of its common stock, which replaced the Company’s prior common stock repurchase program. Pursuant to the repurchase program, management is given discretion to determine the number and pricing of the shares to be repurchased by the Company from time to time, as well as the timing of any such repurchases. The program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock. The Company did not repurchase any common shares under its repurchase programs during the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, $8.0 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to the Company's current repurchase program. On July 29, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the repurchase program to increase the authorized repurchase limit to $10.0 million.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders and repurchase shares is affected by the Company's financial condition and liquidity, general corporate law requirements and the regulations and policies of U.S. federal regulatory authorities applicable to bank holding companies, including the Basel III Capital Rules. The Company's principal source of funds to pay dividends on its common stock and to repurchase shares, other than further issuances of securities, is dividends received from the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company depends on the earnings and financial condition of the Bank and various business considerations. In addition, the Bank is subject to federal and state laws limiting the payment of dividends, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Missouri banking law. Future dividends declared and paid by the Company are subject to the determination, declaration and discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements.
