Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) conducts its business activities primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Blue Ridge Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and its wealth and trust management subsidiary, BRB Financial Group, Inc. (the “Financial Group”). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiaries, the Bank and the Financial Group.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Bank and the Financial Group and were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as amended (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

The Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are contained in the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

Certain amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. The reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss), net earnings (loss) per share, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

Restatement

On October 31, 2023, the Company and the Audit Committee of its board of directors, after consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Bank's primary federal banking regulator, determined that certain specialty finance loans that, as previously disclosed, were placed on nonaccrual, reserved for, or charged off in the interim periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 should have been reported as nonaccrual, reserved for, or charged off in earlier periods. On November 14, 2023, the Company filed amendments to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 to restate the consolidated financial statements included therein. Following the restatements, the Company has partially recovered—and, in some cases, fully recovered—amounts from certain specialty finance loans previously charged off. See Note 3 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

The Company does not believe that the restatements reflect any significant financial impact on the Company's financial condition as of September 30, 2024, or any trends in the Company's business or its prospects. The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the effects of the aforementioned restatement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Regulatory Matters

On January 24, 2024, the Bank consented to the issuance of a consent order (the “Consent Order”) with the OCC. The Consent Order generally incorporates the provisions of the formal written agreement (the "Written Agreement") entered into between the Bank and the OCC on August 29, 2022, as well as adding new provisions. The Written Agreement principally concerned the Bank’s fintech operations and required the Bank to continue enhancing its controls for assessing and managing the third-party, Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering, and information technology risks stemming from its fintech partnerships. The Consent Order adds time frames by which certain of the directives are required, requires the Bank to submit a strategic plan and a capital plan, and places further restrictions on the Company’s fintech operations. The Consent Order also requires the Bank to maintain a leverage ratio of 10.0% and a total capital ratio of 13.0%, referred to as minimum capital ratios. Complete copies of the Written Agreement and the Consent Order are included as Exhibits 10.14 and 10.15, respectively, to the 2023 Form 10-K.

Private Placements

On April 3, 2024 and June 13, 2024, the Company closed private placements in which it issued and sold shares of its common and preferred stock for gross proceeds of $150.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively (collectively, the

"Private Placements"). At a special meeting of shareholders held June 20, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved various proposals, thus approving the conversion of the preferred shares issued in the Private Placements into shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 28, 2024, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The outstanding shares of the Company’s Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), remained outstanding at September 30, 2024. On July 11,2024, the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock received the required regulatory non-objection to exchange the Series C Preferred Stock for common stock as stipulated in the Private Placements. The Company expects the exchange for shares of the Company's common stock will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2024. Capital proceeds received, net of issuance costs, from the Private Placements totaled $152.1 million.

The Private Placements also included the issuance of warrants for 6,549 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants for 1,441 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Each warrant can be exercised to purchase shares at a price of $10 thousand per share. On June 28, 2024, the warrants for Series B Preferred Stock converted to warrants for common stock, and the warrants for Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding pending exchange of the Series C Preferred Stock. The conversion rate on the warrants from preferred stock to common stock was 4,000 shares of common per preferred share. As of September 30, 2024, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 26,195,999 common shares. Of these, warrants to purchase 21,635,999 common shares have an exercise price of $2.50 per share, and warrants to purchase 4,560,000 common shares have an exercise price of $2.39 per share. The warrants have 5-year terms and expire April 3, 2029.

The Company intends to use the capital from the Private Placements to propel its near-term strategic initiatives, which include repositioning business lines, supporting organic growth, and further enhancing the Bank’s capital levels, including compliance with the minimum capital ratios set forth in the Consent Order. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded these minimum capital ratios.

The following tables summarize the effect of the Private Placements on the Company's shares of common and preferred stock as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(2) The holder of Series C Preferred Stock received regulatory non-objection to exchange the Series C Preferred Stock for common stock as stipulated in the Private Placements on July 11, 2024. The Company expects the exchange for shares of the Company's common stock will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2024.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 - Fair Value Measurements, the Company calculated the fair value of the stock warrants issued as part of the Private Placements, through the engagement of a third-party valuation firm. The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM") was used for the valuation and incorporated grant date assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying stock, strike price, risk-free interest rate, term, and expected volatility.

The issued warrants have been accounted for as freestanding financial instruments and classified as equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The warrants were deemed freestanding because they are (1) legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common or preferred shares, as applicable, issued in the Private Placements, (2) only exercisable into shares of the Company’s stock, with no obligation for the Company to transfer any asset in settlement, and (3) do not obligate the Company to issue a variable number of shares. The warrants are classified as equity because they are freestanding and (1) the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, (2) the warrant agreements specify a fixed number of shares to be issued upon exercise, and (3) there are no provisions requiring cash payments by the Company in any "top-off" or "make-whole" situations or for failure to make timely filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The following table presents the assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Private Placements.

Issued April 3, 2024 · Issued June 13, 2024
Assumptions · Common Stock Warrants · Series C Preferred Stock Warrants · Common Stock Warrants

Term (years)5.005.004.81

(1) Presented on a common share equivalent basis.

The $152.1 million net proceeds from the Private Placements were allocated among the individual freestanding financial instruments, including common stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and stock warrants, based on the relative fair value method. The fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock in excess of par value has been classified as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the issued warrants has also been classified as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Issued But Not Adopted)

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07–Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods certain disclosures that are currently required annually. Additionally, the ASU requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), as well as the metric that the CODM uses to gauge segment performance. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this ASU will only impact disclosures, with no impacts to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09–Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires prospective application by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or alternately applying the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, securities with a fair value of $273.0 million and $35.9 million, respectively, were pledged to secure the Bank’s line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB").

As of December 31, 2023, securities with $260.9 million of par value (amortized cost and fair value of $262.7 million and $218.7 million, respectively) were pledged as collateral for the Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). Effective March 11, 2024, the Federal Reserve terminated the BTFP. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repaid its BTFP $65.0 million advance upon maturity and unpledged all collateralized securities.

The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of securities AFS by contractual maturity as of the date stated. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities, as issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company evaluates the fair value and credit quality of its securities AFS portfolio no less than quarterly. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the majority of securities in an unrealized loss position were of investment grade; however, a portion of the portfolio does not have a third-party investment grade available. These ungraded securities were primarily subordinated debt instruments issued by bank holding companies and are classified as corporate bonds in the tables above. The Company evaluated the issuers of these individually, observing that each issuer had strong capital ratios and profitability thereby indicating limited exposure to asset quality or liquidity issues, which resulted in no identifiable credit losses. Investment securities with unrealized losses are generally attributable to changes in the interest rate environment since purchase and not as a result of permanent credit impairment. Contractual cash flows for mortgage backed securities and U.S. Treasury and agencies are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government and government agencies. State and municipal securities showed no indication that the contractual cash flows would not be received when due. The Company does not intend to sell, nor does it believe that it will be required to sell, any of its impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) against the Company's securities AFS portfolio. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Restricted equity investments consisted of stock in the FHLB (carrying value of $11.3 million and $12.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively), stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") (carrying value of $9.2 million and$5.9 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively), and stock in the Bank’s correspondent bank (carrying value of $468 thousandat both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023). Restricted equity investments are carried at cost.

The Company also has various other equity investments, including an investment in a fintech company and limited partnerships, totaling$4.5 million and$12.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company reports such investments at fair value if observable market transactions have occurred in similar securities, resulting in a new carrying value that is evaluated for impairment no less than quarterly. These impairment analyses may include quantitative and/or qualitative information obtained either directly from the investee, a third-party broker, or a third-party valuation firm. If a potential impairment has been identified, the carrying value of the investment would be written down to its estimated fair market value through a charge to earnings. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company identified potential impairment triggers related to one of its investments, mainly due to regulatory pressures on banks partnering with fintech companies in the banking-as-a-service sector. These pressures led some fintech companies to announce cost-saving measures and at least one to seek bankruptcy protection. As a result, the Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to value the Company's investment in a fintech company. This valuation resulted in an $8.5 million impairment charge, recorded in fair value adjustments of other equity investments, to adjust the investment to its estimated fair market value during the second quarter of 2024.

The Company also holds investments in early stage focused investment funds, small business investment companies ("SBIC"), and low-income housing partnerships, which totaled $21.3 million and $29.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are reported in other investments on the consolidated balance sheets. These investments do not have readily-determinable fair values, are generally reported at amortized cost, and are periodically evaluated for potential impairment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold $6.4 million of its SBIC investments at a $69 thousand loss, which is reported in other noninterest income.

The Company has pledged certain commercial and residential mortgages as collateral for borrowings with the FHLB. Loans totaling $802.6 million and $767.1 million were pledged with the FHLB as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has pledged certain commercial and industrial loans totaling $69.6 million and $161.0 million as collateral for borrowings with the FRB Discount Window as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decline in the amount pledged at the FRB Discount Window was primarily due to paydowns and payoffs of the commercial and industrial loans serving as collateral.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company executed an agreement to sell a nonperforming specialty finance loan to a third party, reclassifying the loan from loans held for investment to loans held for sale in the same period at its estimated fair value. Upon reclassification, the Company recorded a charge-off of substantially all of the reserve held on theloan, which was provisioned for in prior years. In the third quarter, the sale was completed upon the receipt of all contractual amounts due. Upon the completion of the sale, the Company recorded an $8.4 million recovery of credit losses.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company segments loans held for investment into risk categories based on relevant information about the expected ability of borrowers to repay debt, such as current financial information, historical payment performance, experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. Management assigns loan risk grades by a numerical system as an indication of credit quality of its portfolio of loans held for investment. The Company uses the following definitions for loan risk ratings and periodically evaluates the appropriateness of these ratings across its loan portfolio. Independent third-party loan reviews are periodically performed on the Company's loan portfolio and such reviews are used to validate management's determination of loan risk grades. Bank regulatory agencies also periodically review the Company's loan portfolio, including loan risk grades and may change a grade based on their judgment of the facts at the time of review.

Risk Grade 1 – Strong: This grade is reserved for loans to the strongest of borrowers. These loans are to individuals or businesses where the probability of default is extremely low to the Bank and are secured with collateral where the loss given default is unlikely because of the source of repayment such as a lien on a deposit account held at the Bank. Character, credit history, and ability of individuals or company principals are excellent. High liquidity, minimum risk, strong ratios, and low servicing cost are present.

Risk Grade 2 – Minimal: This grade is reserved for loans to borrowers who are deemed exceptionally strong. These loans are within established guidelines and where the borrowers have documented significant overall financial strength with consistent and predictable cash flows. These loans have excellent sources of repayment, significant balance sheet liquidity, no significant identifiable risk of collection, and conform in all respects to policy, underwriting standards, and federal and state regulations (no exceptions of any kind). In addition, guarantor support, when provided, is viewed as excellent.

Risk Grade 3 – Acceptable: This grade is reserved for loans to borrowers who are deemed strong. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with minimal identifiable risk of collection. Generally, loans assigned this risk grade will demonstrate the following characteristics: (1) conformity in all respects with policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and federal and state regulations (no exceptions of any kind), (2) documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources, and (3) adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt. In addition, guarantor support, when provided, is viewed as strong.

Risk Grade 4 – Satisfactory: This grade is given to satisfactory loans containing more, but deemed acceptable, risk and where the borrower is assessed as sound. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with minimal identifiable risk of collection. Loans assigned this risk grade will demonstrate the following characteristics: (1) general conformity to the Bank's underwriting requirements, with limited exceptions to policy, product, or underwriting guidelines. All exceptions noted have documented mitigating factors that offset any additional risk associated with the exceptions noted, (2) documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources, and (3) adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt. In addition, guarantor support, when provided, is viewed as satisfactory.

Risk Grade 5 – Watch: This grade is for satisfactory loans containing acceptable but elevated risk. These loans are characterized by borrowers who exhibit signs of financial distress or experience unstable or unfavorable change(s) adversely impacting their current or expected financial condition. The borrower's management is deemed to be satisfactory, the collateral securing the loan may have decreased in value, the debt service coverage ratio is inconsistent or breakeven but mostly positive, and/or guarantor support, if any, is limited or marginal. Loans classified as Watch warrant additional monitoring by management.

Risk Grade 6 – Special Mention: This grade is for loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the Bank's credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Special mention credits typically do not conform to underwriting guidelines and/or exceptions without mitigating factors, or have emerging weaknesses that may or may not be cured with the passage of time.

Risk Grade 7 – Substandard: A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The probability of default is likely and may have occurred. Loans in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action. The weaknesses may include, but are not limited to: (1) current or expected unprofitable operations, (2) inadequate debt service coverage, (3) declining or inadequate liquidity, (4) improper loan structure, (5) questionable or weak repayment sources, and (6) lack of well-defined secondary repayment source. There is a distinct possibility of loss and the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Risk Grade 8 – Doubtful: Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the Bank's position, which can include, but is not limited to (1) an injection of capital, (2) alternative financing, and (3) liquidation of assets or the pledging of additional collateral. Doubtful is a temporary grade where a loss is expected but is presently not quantified with any degree of accuracy. Once the loss position is determined, the amount is charged off against the allowance for credit losses.

Risk Grade 9 – Loss: Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer charging off the worthless loan, even though partial recovery may be effected in the future. Probable loss portions deemed uncollectible are charged off promptly against the allowance for credit losses.

The following table presents the amortized cost of loans held for investment by internal loan risk grade by year of origination as of September 30, 2024. There were no loans classified as loss (risk grade 9) as of the same date. Also presented are current period gross charge-offs by loan type for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

For thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the effective interest rate on the 2030 Note was 6.08% and 6.10%, respectively.

Note 5 – Leases

The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and such extensions are included in the calculation of the lease liabilities to theextent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

The following tables present information about the Company’s leases as of the dates and for the periods stated.

Note 6 – Fair Value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.

The three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 –Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 –Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates stated.

Note 7 – Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, financial institutions must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. A financial institution's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Banks must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios of 2.50% for all ratios exceptthe tier 1 leverage ratio. If a banking organization dips into its capital conservation buffer, it is subject to limitations on certain activities, including payment of dividends, share repurchases, and discretionary compensation to certain officers. Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by the Company. The total amount of dividends that may be paid at any date is generally limited to retained earnings of the Company.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized; although, these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

In addition to the foregoing capital requirements, the Bank is subject to minimum capital ratios set forth in the Consent Order that are higher than those required for capital adequacy purposes generally. The Bank is required tomaintain a leverage ratio of 10.00% and a total capital ratio of 13.00%. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Bank met these minimum capital ratios. Until the Consent Order has been lifted, the Bank is deemed to be less than well capitalized, thus adequately capitalized.

The Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (referred herein as “current expected credit losses” or “CECL”) effective January 1, 2023. Federal and state banking regulations allow financial institutions to irrevocably elect to phase-in the after-tax cumulative effect adjustment at adoption to retained earnings (“CECL Transitional Amount”) over a three-year period. The three-year phase-in of the CECL Transitional Amount to regulatory capital is 25%,50%, and 25% in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. The Bank made this irrevocable election effective with its first quarter 2023 call report.

The following tables present the capital ratios to which banks are subject to be adequately and well capitalized, as well as the capital and capital ratios for the Bank as of the dates stated. Adequately capitalized ratios include the conservation buffer, if applicable. The following table also includes the capital adequacy ratios to which bank holding companies are subject. On January 1, 2024, the Company became subject to these ratios. Also presented are the minimum capital ratios set forth in the Consent Order for the Bank and the related capital amounts for both the leverage ratio and the total capital ratio. The CECL Transitional Amount was $8.1 million, of which $4.1 million and $2.0 million reduced the regulatory capital amounts and capital ratios as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of operations, the Company is party to legal proceedings. Based upon information currently available, management believes that such legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Also, in the ordinary course of operations, the Company offers various financial products to its customers to meet their credit and liquidity needs. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional commitments as it does for on-balance sheet commitments.

Subject to its normal credit standards and risk monitoring procedures, the Company makes contractual commitments to extend credit. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $320.3 million and $480.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $106.3 million and $113.5 million were unconditionally cancelable at the sole discretion of the Company as of the same respective dates.

Conditional commitments are issued by the Company in the form of financial stand-by letters of credit, which guarantee payment to the underlying beneficiary (i.e., third party) if the customer fails to meet its designated financial obligation. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commitments under outstanding financial stand-by letters of credit totaled $11.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively. The credit risk of issuing stand-by letters of credit can be greater than the risk involved in extending loans to customers.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses for unfunded commitments of $200 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, which was primarily attributable to lower balances of loan commitments. As of September 30, 2024, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $1.4 million compared to $3.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of and for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a recourse reserve of $520 thousand for estimated putbacks and transition costs as part of the sale of a portion of its MSR portfolio in the same period. This amount is included in the loss on sale of MSRs and other liabilities on the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet, respectively. The putbacks relate to industry-standard items, including prepayments or early delinquencies of the underlying mortgages, as well as any deficiencies in the underlying documentation, all of which are subject to term limits per the sales agreement.

The Company invests in various partnerships, limited liability companies, and SBIC funds. Pursuant to these investments, the Company commits to an investment amount to be fulfilled in future periods. At September 30, 2024, the Company had future commitments outstanding totaling $7.6 million related to these investments.

Note 9 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") amounts are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator). Diluted EPS amounts assume the conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common stock instruments, unless the effect would be to reduce the loss or increase earnings per common share. Potential dilutive common stock instruments include exercisable stock options, performance-based restricted stock awards (“PSAs”), preferred stock, and warrants. The Company calculates diluted EPS for its warrants and stock options using the treasury stock method, for its preferred stock using the if-converted method, and for its PSAs using the two-class method.

The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in computing EPS and the effect on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of dilutive potential common stock for the periods stated. For the 2023 periods presented and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, all outstanding stock options, PSAs, preferred stock, and warrants were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, due to the net loss in the respective periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, stock options of 29,741 shares and PSAs of 171,752 shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 10– Business Segments

The Company hasthree reportable business segments: commercial banking, mortgage banking, and holding company activities. The commercial banking business segment makes loans to and generates deposits from individuals and businesses, while offering a wide array of general banking activities to its customers. It is distinct from the Company's mortgage banking division, which concentrates on individual and wholesale mortgage lending and sales activities. Activities at the holding company (or parent level) are primarily associated with investments, borrowings, and certain noninterest expenses.

The following tables present statement of operations items and assets by segment as of the dates and for the periods stated.

Note 12 – Bank Owned Life Insurance and MSRs

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's investment in bank owned life insurance totaled $14.9 million and $48.5 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company surrendered the majority of its bank owned life insurance policies and received $34.3 million of the proceeds by the end of the third quarter of 2024. The Company expects to receive the remaining proceeds of approximately$14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. There wasno gain or loss as a result of this transaction, as bank owned life insurance is carried at cash surrender value. Other noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, included approximately $940 thousand of excise taxes related to the surrender of these policies. Additionally, $2.0 million of income tax expense was recognized in the second quarter of 2024 representing the tax effect of the life-to-date income earned on the policies, as the earnings were previously permanently deferred but became subject to tax upon surrender.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's portfolio of MSRs totaled $19.5 million and $27.1 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold certain MSRs, representing loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $438.6 million. The sale resulted in $6.6 million in sales proceeds and a loss on sale of approximately $1.0 million. This loss includes transaction-related costs and an estimated recourse reserve for potential putbacks and/or transition costs to the Company.

Note 13 – Legal Matters

In December of 2023, a purported shareholder of the Company commenced a putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (No. 1:23-cv-08944) (Hunter v. Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc., et al). The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws against the Company and certain of its current and former officers based on alleged material misstatements and omissions in the Company’s SEC filings. The complaint seeks certification of a class action, unspecified damages, and attorneys fees. The putative class has filed an amended complaint, and the Company has filed a letter seeking permission to file a motion to dismiss. The parties are scheduled to engage in non-binding mediation on December 5, 2024. The Company nevertheless continues to believe the claims are without merit and no loss has been accrued for this lawsuit as of September 30, 2024.

On August 12, 2019, a former employee of Virginia Community Bankshares, Inc. ("VCB") and participant in its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “VCB ESOP”) filed a class action complaint against VCB, its subsidiary, Virginia Community Bank, and certain individuals associated with the VCB ESOP in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia, Charlottesville Division. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to VCB ESOP participants in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company automatically assumed liability of VCB in connection with this litigation as a result of its 2019 acquisition of VCB.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff to resolve the VCB ESOP litigation (the "Settlement Agreement"). As provided in the Settlement Agreement, the plaintiff agreed to release the Company, the Bank, and related parties from all claims related to acts or omissions associated with the VCB ESOP and the Company agreed to pay $6.0 million for such release. In June of 2024, the court granted final approval of the Settlement Agreement. This resulted in the ongoing lawsuit being dismissed with prejudice, and all similar claims that were or could have been brought relating to the VCB ESOP released and barred. The Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation and to resolve the claims that were or could have been asserted related to the VCB ESOP. The Company accrued $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 in anticipation of this settlement. On July 15, 2024, the Company made the final payment related to the VCB ESOP litigation pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

On October 31, 2024, the Company sold the majority of its remaining MSR portfolio consisting of $1.51 billion unpaid principal balances of underlying mortgages at an estimated loss of $1.6 million. This loss includes transaction-related costs and an estimated recourse reserve for potential putbacks and/or estimated transition costs to the Company.
