Regulatory Capital and Ratios
The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy requirements intended to ensure that banking organizations maintain capital that is commensurate with the degree of risk associated with their operations. The Company and the Bank are each subject to these regulatory capital adequacy requirements. See Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Regulatory Capital Requirementsin the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K for additional details.
The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 under the Basel III Capital Rules, and those required by regulatory agencies for capital adequacy and well-capitalized classification purposes:
| Basel III Capital Rules | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 · December 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Company | Bank | Company | Bank | Minimum Regulatory Requirements | Minimum Regulatory Requirements including Capital Conservation Buffer | Well-Capitalized Requirements | |

| Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital (1) | 15.1% | 13.8% | 15.1% | 13.9% | 4.5% | 7.0% | 6.5% |
| Tier 1 capital (2) | 15.1% | 13.8% | 15.1% | 13.9% | 6.0% | 8.5% | 8.0% |

(2)Well-capitalized Tier 1 capital ratio requirements for the Company and the Bank are 6.0% and 8.0%, respectively.
