Current report
On January 28, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock over a period beginning on January 28, 2025, and continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase, or December 31, 2025, or termination of the program by the Board of Directors.
Current report
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 created a new nondeductible 1% excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock by certain publicly traded corporations or their specified affiliates after December 31, 2022. The tax is imposed on the fair value of the stock of a covered corporation that is repurchased in a given year, less the fair market value of any stock issued in that year. A “covered corporation” is any domestic corporation whose stock is traded on an established securities market, such as Nasdaq. The excise tax applies to all of the stock of a covered corporation regardless of whether the corporation has profits or losses. The act contains several exceptions to the excise tax, including, but not limited to, any repurchase of stock: in which the total value of the repurchased stock in a given year does not exceed $1,000,000; that is contributed to an employer sponsored retirement plan or other similar stock compensation plan; that is taxed as a dividend. The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on our consolidated financial statements will be dependent on the extent of stock repurchases made in future periods.
Current report
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase of shares of its outstanding common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current report
Under applicable state law, Florida corporations are not permitted to retain treasury stock. As such, the price paid for the repurchased shares reduces the amount of common stock on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2025, total shares repurchased for $335,111 had been redeemed since the Repurchase Program was implemented. The repurchased shares remain authorized, unissued shares.

Previous report
The development and use of artificial intelligence by us or others, or our inability to effectively and timely implement its use, may adversely affect the Company.
Previous report
The use of artificial intelligence in the banking industry is developing and growing. Customer demand may cause us and others to offer products or services incorporating artificial intelligence. As with many developing technologies, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to invest in and use appropriate technology, which may include artificial intelligence. To effectively make such investments, we may need to expend significant financial, human, and other resources. However, we may not be able to implement artificial intelligence in an effective or timely way, thus adversely impacting our operations. This may also adversely impact our ability to compete with financial institutions which have greater resources to invest in such technological improvements. Ultimately, any artificial intelligence we develop or use may be flawed. If our use of artificial intelligence, or its use by third parties with which we do business or otherwise interact, is deficient, biased, or inaccurate, or compromises customer privacy or implicates other ethics issues, we could be subject to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm.
