Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation and a publicly traded bank holding company whose Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CBNA.” The Company serves as the registered bank holding company for Chain Bridge Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company does not own or control any other subsidiaries and conducts substantially all of its business through the Bank. Both the Company and Bank have their headquarters and sole executive office in McLean, Virginia.

The Bank is a national banking association chartered by the OCC under the National Bank Act. The Bank commenced operations on August 6, 2007, following receipt of its Charter No. 24755 from the OCC. The Bank is a member of the FDIC under Certificate No. 58595 and is also a Federal Reserve member bank, as required of national banks. In 2020, the Bank opened its Trust & Wealth department following authorization from the OCC to exercise full fiduciary powers in accordance with 12 U.S.C. § 92a.

The Bank uses a branchless operating model that integrates digital banking channels with in-person services at its headquarters in McLean, Virginia. It offers a broad range of commercial and personal banking services, including deposit accounts, multiple types of loan products, trust administration, wealth management, and asset custody. The Bank’s core deposit products include noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, as well as savings accounts. Its lending portfolio currently consists primarily of real-estate secured loans, with a significant portion being loans secured by first liens on single family residential properties in the Washington, D.C. area.

The Bank offers tailored financial solutions to individuals, families, businesses, non-profit organizations, and political organizations nationwide. The term “political organizations” refers to: campaign committees; party committees; separate segregated funds (including trade association political action committees (“PACs”) and corporate PACs); non-connected committees (including independent expenditure-only committees (“Super PACs”), committees maintaining separate accounts for direct contributions and independent expenditures (“Hybrid PACs”), and committees other than authorized campaign committees, or those affiliated with such committees that are maintained or controlled by a candidate or federal officeholder (collectively, “Leadership PACs”)); and other tax-exempt organizations under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the accompanying notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025 (“Form 10-K”).

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chain Bridge Bank, National Association. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

Certain amounts reported in the prior year may be reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Certain expenses, previously included in the “marketing and business development costs” component of noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of income, have been reclassified to the “other operating expenses” component of noninterest expense to provide comparability between periods. None of those reclassifications had an impact on stockholders’ equity or net income. There were no other reclassifications for the periods reported.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-makers, including senior management and the Board of Directors, evaluate financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis. Although the Company offers a variety of financial products and services, including deposit accounts, loans, treasury management, and trust and wealth management services, management considers these activities to be components of a single business unit. Individual financial results of specific product lines or services are not separately reviewed by senior management for the purpose of making operating decisions. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates inone reportable segment under applicable accounting guidance.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, contained within the Company’s Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the ACL on loans and fair value of investment securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity’s applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” ASU 2025-01 amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies are not currently expected to have material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2. Securities & Allowance for Securities Credit Losses

The Company invests in a variety of debt securities, principally obligations of the U.S. government and federal agencies, mortgage backed securities, state and municipal agencies, and corporations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all debt securities were classified as held to maturity (“HTM”) or available for sale (“AFS”).

Management considers the appropriateness of the accounting treatment applied to the Company’s debt securities portfolio on an ongoing basis. During a prior year, certain AFS bonds were transferred to the HTM portfolio. Bonds selected for transfer included U.S. government and federal agencies, corporate bonds, and state and municipal bonds. The unrealized loss at the time of transfer is being amortized monthly over the remaining lives of the debt securities with an increase to the carrying value of the debt securities and a decrease to the related accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is included in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables summarize the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value and allowance for credit losses of AFS and HTM debt securities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

There were no holdings of municipal or corporate debt securities that equaled or exceeded 10.0% of stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

There wereno securities pledged to secure any borrowing source at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Proceeds from sales, calls, maturities, and paydowns of debt securities available for sale totaled $316.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $81.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Proceeds from sales, calls, maturities, and paydowns of debt securities held to maturity totaled $16.5 million and $5.5 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Bank hadno sales of AFS securities. One AFS security was disposed of through a tender offered by the security’s issuer. The proceeds received approximated the security’s amortized cost, and the transaction did not result in a material gain or loss.4

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Bank sold an AFS bond that was charged off during a prior year for $210 thousand. The proceeds were recorded as a recapture of previously recorded credit losses. Because this sale did not result in a realized gain or loss on sale of securities, it is excluded from the related table below.

The proceeds, gross realized gains and losses from sales of debt securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Management classifies bonds as HTM only when the Company has the ability and intent to hold the bond to maturity, and certain sales or transfers of HTM could call into question management’s ability or intent to hold the remaining HTM bond portfolio to maturity, thereby “tainting” the entire portfolio and triggering a reclassification of the entire portfolio to available for sale. However, there are limited situations, including evidence of deterioration in the issuer’s creditworthiness, in which the Company could sell an HTM bond without tainting the remaining HTM portfolio. During

4 Immaterial gains and losses are defined as those less than one thousand dollars.

the first nine months of 2025 the Company didnot sell any HTM bonds. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company soldtwo HTM bonds from a single issuer due to significant documented deterioration of the issuer’s creditworthiness evidenced by the downgrading of the issuer’s public credit rating. The sales are included in the tables above. Under these circumstances, the sale did not taint the HTM portfolio.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2025 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

In the AFS portfolio at September 30, 2025,29 out of 69 debt securities of the U.S. government and federal agencies,10 out of 16 mortgage backed securities,36 out of 116 corporate bonds, and 215 out of 308 state and municipal securities were in an unrealized loss position. All of the Company’s investment portfolio was evaluated under the monitoring process described in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, contained within the Form 10-K, and all investments were deemed investment grade. All of the unrealized losses are attributed to changes in market interest rates, and are not a result of deterioration of creditworthiness among any of the issuers.

Of the total AFS and HTM portfolio at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,643 and 776 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate impairment of 2.0% and 4.3%, respectively, of the Company’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses related principally to interest rate movements and not the creditworthiness of the issuer. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the debt securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Credit loss allowances for the AFS and HTM portfolios are described in the following sections.

Allowance for Credit Losses—AFS Securities

Management evaluates debt securities to determine whether the unrealized loss is due to credit-related factors or non-credit-related factors. This analysis occurs on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the extent to which fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for full recovery of its amortized cost. If the assessment reveals that a credit loss exists, the present value of the expected cash flows of the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost, an allowance for the credit loss is recorded. The loss is limited by the amount that the amortized cost exceeds fair value.

As of the reporting date, the Company did not intend to sell any of the AFS debt securities, did not expect to be required to sell these debt securities, and expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of all of the debt securities.

The Company didnot record an ACL on the AFS debt securities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company has evaluated these debt securities for credit-related impairment at the reporting date and concluded that no impairment existed. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the debt securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, industry analysts’ reports, and correlations between fair value changes and interest rate changes among instruments that are not credit sensitive. All AFS debt securities were current with no debt securities past due or on non-accrual as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company considers the unrealized losses on the debt securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and is not reflective of deterioration in credit.

At September 30, 2025, there wasno allowance for credit losses, and there were no provisions, write offs, or recoveries on AFS debt securities recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The table below presents a rollforward by major security type of the allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

At September 30, 2024, there wasno allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities recorded. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Bank received proceeds totaling $210 thousand for a bond that was fully charged off during 2023, and recorded a recovery of the credit loss.

Credit Quality Indicators and Allowance for Credit Losses - HTM Securities

The Company evaluates the credit risk of its HTM debt securities on a quarterly basis. The Company estimates expected credit losses on HTM debt securities using an instrument-level process described in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s HTM portfolio are security type, time remaining to maturity, and credit rating. Credit ratings may be influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flows, geography, seniority and others. The HTM portfolio includes debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and agencies of the federal government, and mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies. These types of investments carry implicit or explicit backing of the U.S. Treasury, and therefore are deemed to carry no credit risk for purposes of the ACL evaluation.

The following table presents the amortized cost of HTM debt securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 by security type and credit rating (dollars in thousands):

Collateral Dependent Loans

FASB ASC Topic 326 describes a collateral-dependent asset as a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower, based on management’s assessment, is experiencing financial difficulty as of the reporting date. Whether the underlying collateral is expected to be a substantial source of repayment for an asset depends on the availability, reliability, and capacity of sources other than the collateral to repay the debt. Collateral-dependent loans are individually evaluated for expected credit losses as of the reporting date, and they are removed from their respective pools of collectively evaluated assets. Expected credit losses for these types of assets are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs. There were no collateral-dependent loans that were individually evaluated for purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses under FASB ASC Topic 326 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Company may modify loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, and other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses. There were no loan modifications provided to borrowers exhibiting financial distress during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and there were no such prior modifications in existence during the periods reported. During the reported periods, there were no payment defaults from any such loans during the twelve months preceding the modification because no such modifications were in existence during the periods.

Related Party Loan Transactions

Officers, directors and their affiliates had loans outstanding with the Company of $9.9 million and $8.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in loans outstanding reflects the origination of a new loan during the period to a director with pre-existing lending relationships with the Company. These transactions occurred in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons.

Note 4. Deposits

The Bank heldno deposits classified as brokered as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. To achieve full insurance from the FDIC, some of the Bank’s depositors have enrolled in the ICS® program offered by the Bank through the IntraFi® network. When accounts are enrolled in this service, the Bank must elect, for each account, whether it will receive a reciprocal deposit balance or sell the deposit balance. Reciprocal deposits through ICS® held on the consolidated balance sheets were $228.2 million and $130.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Total ICS® One-Way Sell® deposits of $146.4 million and $63.3 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, were sold to the network and excluded from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Bank receives fee income for deposits that are sold, which is reported under deposit placement services income on the consolidated statements of income.

As of September 30, 2025, there were three clients with an individual deposit balance exceeding 5.0% of total deposits. The total deposit balance related to these clients was $229.9 million or 16.8% of total deposits. As of December 31, 2024, there weretwo clients whose individual deposit balances exceeded 5.0% of total deposits. The total deposit balance related to these clients was $202.6 million or 16.2% of total deposits.

Note 5. Borrowings

Available Lines of Credit

The Bank maintains eligibility for a secured line of credit with the FHLB. To establish credit availability, the Bank will typically pledge eligible 1-4 family residential real estate loans from its loan portfolio as collateral. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had not pledged any collateral to the FHLB. Consequently, no credit availability was established, and no outstanding borrowings were recorded.

The Bank also maintains eligibility for a secured line of credit with the FRB, and will typically pledge investment securities to establish credit availability. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had not pledged any collateral to the FRB. Consequently, no credit availability was established, and no outstanding borrowings were recorded.

Short-Term Borrowing Facilities

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company hadno outstanding short-term borrowings. The Bank maintains access to unsecured federal funds purchase lines of credit with:

Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank: $50.0 million, maturing June 30, 2026

First National Bankers’ Bank: $10.0 million, maturing June 30, 2026, and

Community Bankers’ Bank: $8.0 million, maturing March 12, 2026.

These federal funds lines renew annually, and balances may remain outstanding for periods ranging from 10 to 90 consecutive days. The use of these credit facilities is contingent upon compliance with specified financial conditions and covenants.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank hadno outstanding balances under these federal funds purchase lines.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

Determination of Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value measurements and disclosure topic specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to these valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Fair Value Hierarchy

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which categorizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

An asset or liability’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Securities Available for Sale & Equity Securities

Debt securities available for sale and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).

The Company’s investment portfolio is valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 1 or Level 2 but may also use Level 3 measurements if required by the composition of the portfolio. The Bank has contracted with a securities portfolio accounting service provider for valuation of its securities portfolio. Most security types are priced using the securities accounting provider’s internally developed pricing software which appraises securities from an online real-time database. Subscription pricing services such as ICE Data Services and Bloomberg Valuation Services may be used to supplement the internal pricing system for security types where the underlying collateral, cash flow projections or trade data is not readily available. If Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, the software may rely upon a discounted cash flow analysis based on the net present value of a security’s projected cash flow to arrive at fair market value. Valuations for direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, exchange listed stock and preferred stock are obtained from online real-time databases.

The securities accounting service provider utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipal securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.

The following table presents the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Individually evaluated loans are analyzed to determine whether they are collateral dependent. Any individually evaluated loans, which are deemed to be collateral dependent, with an allocation to the ACL are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.

The measurement of loss associated with collateral dependent loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property using an income approach or is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for loan credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. There were no collateral dependent loans, and therefore no recorded reserve as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value less costs to sell. Valuation of OREO is determined using current appraisals from independent parties, a Level 2 input. If current appraisals cannot be obtained, or if declines in value are identified after a recent appraisal is received, appraisal values may be discounted, resulting in a Level 3 estimate. If the Company markets the property with a realtor, estimated selling costs reduce the fair value, resulting in a valuation based on Level 3 inputs. Fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings. The Bank held no OREO at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of 1-4 family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

There wereno assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

The Company’s stock is comprised oftwo classes: Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Except in regard to voting and conversion rights, the rights of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, and the classes rank equally and share ratably with regard to all other matters. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time intoone share of Class A Common Stock. Because Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share in earnings equally, any potential conversions of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock do not have a dilutive impact.

On October 3, 2024,26,876 existing shares of Old Common Stock held by the company’s pre-IPO investors were reclassified into 4,568,920 shares of Class B Common Stock. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 1,850,000 shares of Class A Common Stock on October 7, 2024 and 142,897 shares of Class A Common Stock on November 1, 2024. Share information for historical periods gives effect to the Reclassification. All earnings are attributed to Class B shares for the historical periods because no Class A shares were outstanding during the historical periods.

When declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends equally and ratably on a per-share basis. The Company did not pay dividends to any stockholder during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Under the two-class method, earnings available to common stockholders are allocated ratably on a per-share basis between Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The table below provides a reconciliation of the combined Class A and Class B Common Stock numerators and denominators of the earnings per share computations (dollars in thousands, except per share data). The number of basic and diluted shares are the same because there are no potentially dilutive instruments.
