The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or note disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2024 (SEC File No. 001-38956). However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

Financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loans

For all loan classes, the accrual of interest is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. For all loan classes, the entire balance of the loan is considered past due if the minimum payment contractually required to be paid is not received by the contractual due date. For all loan classes, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

The Company charges off residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance, which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value, less costs to sell when the loan is 120 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 90 days past due, and charge down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 90 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off.

For all classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less thansix months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status.

On occasion, the Company will provide modifications to loans and leases to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, by providing payment delays, term extensions, or interest-rate reductions. In some cases, combinations of modifications may be made to the same loan or lease. If determined that the value of the modified loan or lease is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a charge-off is recognized to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases.

Note 2: Accounting Pronouncements

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"), which was enacted in April 2012, has made numerous changes to the federal securities laws to facilitate access to capital markets. Under the JOBS Act, a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1.07 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year qualifies as an “emerging growth company.” The Company qualifies as and has elected to be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may elect to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. Such an election is irrevocable during the period a company is an emerging growth company. The Company has elected to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In December of 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06 which extended the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. The guidance ensures the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place and the ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. This ASU allows reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. ASU No. 2023-02 is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2024. Adoption of ASU 2023-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU established new income tax disclosure requirements and modified existing requirements. The ASU requires additional information be disclosed for specified categories, and reconciling items that meet a certain threshold, within the rate reconciliation on an annual basis. Additionally, this ASU requires information be disclosed on the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds), disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds)

disaggregated by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for all public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Investment Securities

The amortized cost and approximate fair values, together with gross unrealized gains and losses, of investment securities are as follows:

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $102,075,000 and $162,430,000 were pledged at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, to secure certain deposits and for other purposes as permitted or required by law.

Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $3,789,000. Gross losses recognized on the sale of securities available for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $62,000, while there wereno gross gains recognized during those same periods. There wereno sales of securities available for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Certain investments in debt securities, as reflected in the table below, are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $269,787,000 and $279,852,000, respectively, which is approximately 99% and 97% of the Company’s aggregated available for sale and held to maturity investment portfolio at those dates, respectively. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates since their purchase.

The Company does not consider available for sale securities with unrealized losses to be experiencing credit losses at June 30, 2024. Management considers it more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be the maturity dates of the securities.

Held to maturity securities are financial assets measured at amortized cost. Held to maturity securities are required to have an established allowance for credit losses that represents the portion of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset that is not expected to be collectable. The Company estimates expected credit losses on a collective basis by security type, with consideration given to historical information, credit ratings, and the statistical probability of future losses.

The Company monitors the credit quality of investment securities held to maturity through the use of credit ratings quarterly. As of June 30, 2024, there was no allowance for credit losses recognized on the Company's securities held to maturity portfolio.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost of held to maturity securities by credit quality indicator as of June 30, 2024:

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the calculation of the allowance for credit losses.

The following tables show the Company’s investment securities by gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Federal Agency Obligations. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. federal agencies were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

SBA Pools and Mortgage-Backed Securities - GSE Residential. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities and SBA pools were caused by interest rate changes and illiquidity. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

State, Municipal, and Corporate Obligations. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities of state, municipal, and corporate obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those securities do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

The Company expects the fair value of the securities as described above to recover as the securities approach their maturity or reset date.

Note 4: Loans, Leases and Allowance

The following table shows the composition of the loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The Company rates all loans and leases by credit quality using the following designations:

Grade 1 – Exceptional

Exceptional loans and leases are top-quality loans to individuals whose financial credentials are well known to the Company. These loans and leases have excellent sources of repayment, are well documented and/or virtually free of risk (i.e., CD secured loans).

Grade 2 – Quality Loans and Leases

These loans and leases have excellent sources of repayment with no identifiable risk of collection, and they conform in all respects to Company policy and IDFI and FDIC regulations. Documentation exceptions are minimal or are in the process of being corrected and are not of a type that could subsequently expose the Company to risk of loss.

Grade 3 – Acceptable Loans

This category is for “average” quality loans and leases. These loans and leases have adequate sources of repayment with little identifiable risk of collection and they conform to Company policy and IDFI/FDIC regulations.

Grade 4 – Acceptable but Monitored

Loans and leases in this category may have a greater than average risk due to financial weakness or uncertainty but do not appear to require classification as special mention or substandard loans. Loans and leases rated “4” need to be monitored on a regular basis to ascertain that the reasons for placing them in this category do not advance or worsen.

Grade 5 – Special Mention

Loans and leases in this category 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 loan or lease or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans and leases are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. This special mention rating is designed to identify a specific level of risk and concern about an asset’s quality. Although a special mention loan or lease has a higher probability of default than a pass rated loan or lease, its default is not imminent.

Grade 6 – Substandard

Loans and leases in this category are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Substandard loans and leases have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well-defined weaknesses. Such loans and leases have a distinct potential for loss; however, an individual loan’s or lease’s potential for loss does not have to be distinct for the loan or lease to be rated substandard.

The following are examples of situations that might cause a loan or lease to be graded a “6”:

•Cash flow deficiencies (losses) jeopardize future loan or lease payments.

•Sale of non-collateral assets has become a primary source of loan or lease repayment.

•The relationship has deteriorated to the point that sale of collateral is now the Company’s primary source of repayment, unless this was the original source of loan or lease repayment.

•The borrower is bankrupt or for any other reason future repayment is dependent on court action.

Grade 7 – Doubtful

A loan or lease classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A doubtful loan or lease has a high probability of total or substantial loss. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Because of high probability of loss, nonaccrual accounting treatment will be required for doubtful loans and leases.

Grade 8 – Loss

Loans and leases classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan or lease has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the loan or lease even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

No material changes have been made to the risk characteristics discussed above contained in the Company's 2023 Form 10-K.

The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio based on rating category, payment activity, and origination year as of June 30, 2024 and rating category as of December 31, 2023:

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any revolving loans convert to term loans.

The following tables present the Company’s loan and lease portfolio aging analysis of the recorded investment in loans and leases as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The following table presents information on the Company’s nonaccrual loans and leases at June 30, 2024, and at December 31, 2023:

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $1,000 and $42,000 of interest income on nonaccrual loans and leases, respectively.

The following tables present the Company's amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans, and their respective collateral type, which are individually analyzed to determine expected credit losses as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Loan Modification Disclosures under ASU 2022-02

In certain situations, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications may include payment delays, term extensions, or interest-rate reductions. In some cases, combinations of modifications may be made to the same loan. If a determination is made that a modified loan has been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is charged-off, reducing the amortized cost basis of the loan and adjusting the allowance for credit losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no new modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

There were no modified loans and leases that had a payment default during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and that were modified in the twelve months prior to that default by borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned is included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, other real estate owned included $43,200 and $136,000, respectively, of foreclosed residential real estate properties recorded as a result of obtaining physical possession of the property. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process was $465,000 and $470,000, respectively.

Direct Financing Leases

The following lists the components of the net investment in direct financing leases:

The following table summarizes the future minimum lease payments receivable subsequent to June 30, 2024:

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is established for current expected credit losses on the Company's loan and lease portfolios in accordance with ASC Topic 326. This requires significant judgement to estimate credit losses measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist, and for loans evaluated individually. The Company estimates expected future losses for the loan's entire contractual term, taking into account expected payments when appropriate. The allowance is an estimation based on management's evaluation of expected losses related to the Company's financial assets measured at amortized cost. It considers relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to the historical loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the Company's outstanding loan and lease balances.

The Company utilizes a cash flow ("CF") analysis method of estimating expected losses, which relies on key inputs and assumptions. Significant factors affecting the calculation are the segmenting of loans and leases based upon similar risk characteristics, applied loss rates based upon reasonable and supportable forecasts, and contractual term adjustments, including prepayment and curtailment adjustments. To ensure the allowance is maintained at an adequate level, a detailed analysis is performed on a quarterly basis, with an appropriate provision made to adjust the allowance.

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the calculation of the allowance for credit losses, as it is the Company's policy to write off accrued interest in a timely manner as it is deemed uncollectible by reversing interest income.

The Company categorizes its loan portfolios into eight segments, as discussed above, based on similar risk characteristics. Loans within each segment are collectively evaluated using either a CF methodology or remaining life methodology. When estimating for credit loss, the Company forecasts the first four quarters of the credit loss estimate and reverts to a long-run average of each considered factor. The Company developed its reasonable and supportable forecasts using economic data, such as gross domestic product and unemployment rate.

Qualitative adjustments are applied to each collectively segmented pool to appropriately capture differences in current or expected qualitative risk characteristics. When evaluating the estimation for expected credit losses, the Company evaluates these qualitative adjustments for any changes in:

•lending policies, procedures, and strategies;

•the nature and volume of the loan and lease portfolio;

•international, national, regional, and local conditions;

•the experience, depth, and ability of lending management;

•the volume and severity of past due loans;

•the quality of the loan review system;

•the underlying collateral;

•concentration risk; and

•the effect of other external factors.

The following tables summarize changes in the allowance for credit losses by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

During the second quarter of 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased from $15.8 million at March 31, 2023, to $15.9 million at June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to additional provisions totaling $507,000 during the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by net charge-offs of $450,000. Multiple loan categories experienced loan growth while a few declined slightly, as compared to prior quarter.

•Commercial Mortgage – allowance increased due to loan balances increasing $17.8 million.

•Commercial & Industrial – allowance increased due to loan balances increasing $3.5 million.

•Construction & Development – allowance decreased due to loan balances decreasing $25.5 million.

•Multi-Family – allowance increased due to balances increasing $20.5 million.

•Residential Mortgage – allowance increased due to balances increasing $4.0 million.

•Home Equity – allowance increased due to balances increasing $1.6 million.

•Direct Financing Leases – allowance increased while balances decreased $4.3 million, due to a higher calculated reserve percentage.

•Consumer – allowance increased slightly, while balances decreased $222,000.

Our commercial loan portfolio, consisting of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and construction loans, represented 68.9% and 68.1% of our portfolio as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases allocated to the commercial loan portfolio represented 74.1% of our total allowance at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Economic Outlook

Due to the future-focused nature of the calculation for the allowance for credit losses, management must make significant assumptions. Estimating an appropriate allowance requires management to use relevant forward-looking information drawn from reasonable and supportable forecasts. Economic factors are a consequential part of these forecasts, and as such are evaluated periodically for developments that may impact the Company's allowance for credit losses and loan and lease portfolio.

As of June 30, 2024, the primary economic factors affecting the Company's loan portfolio continue to be persistent inflation, higher interest rates, geopolitical risk, mild economic growth, and a weakened employment outlook. These key factors will continue to influence the Company's loan and lease portfolio for the near future. In addition, market liquidity continues to impact the economic environment and could potentially further tighten credit conditions.

The Company remains committed to three growth market regions: Columbus, Ohio, Dayton/Springfield, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Indiana. These market regions specialize in commercial real estate loans, and their respective forecasts are described below:

•Columbus, Ohio – The market region anticipates stable job growth in 2024, with slight increases projected in certain sectors. Construction activity is showing signs of slowing, as speculative projects are not being pre-leased, prompting greater caution in initiating new developments. The majority of new construction projects are built-to-suit, indicating a softening demand as parties exercise prudence amid economic uncertainties. The region's unemployment rate has seen a slight uptick, aligning with the national average.

•Dayton/Springfield, Ohio – The economic outlook for this region remains stable. With few new projects entering the market and a lack of ongoing construction, the real estate sector appears to be in a holding pattern. However, there is a noticeable trend towards a decrease in the region's vacancy rate, suggesting potential shifts in demand patterns or better utilization of existing properties. Concerns about recession are diminishing, and the economic outlook for 2024 indicates a slow but steady positive trajectory.

The relationship between Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and the local market is deeply interconnected, influencing all aspects of the economy. The future economic prospects of the area are closely tied to WPAFB and the success of the military, federal government, and defense industry. WPAFB is currently unveiling extensive plans to revamp and streamline processes across the Air Force and related sectors. These initiatives have the potential to significantly impact the economic trajectory of the local market.

•Indianapolis, Indiana – Based upon optimistic 2024 first half economic results, the market region is expecting continued economic growth in 2024. First half results were fueled primarily by an expanding labor market, retail sales growth, and increasing median household incomes.

Future potential economic volatility may have a significant impact on the Company's loan and lease portfolio, specifically the allowance for credit losses. There are a myriad of potential outcomes, and the variances may be significant and unpredictable. As a result, the Company's future estimates may fluctuate for the remainder of 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments

The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimate of expected losses on unfunded commitments is calculated based on the loss rate for the loan or lease segment in which the loan or lease commitments would be classified if funded, adjusted for the estimate of funding probability. Additional provisions applied to the allowance are recognized in the provision for credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Note 5: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as 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 assets or liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Recurring Measurements

The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Available for Sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy, which includes equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include agency securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and mortgage-backed securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Measurements

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following tables present estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Note 6: Earnings per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes the participating securities. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but excludes awards considered participating securities. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for EPS until they are earned. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

Note 7: Benefit Plans

401(k)

The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan, in which substantially all employees may participate. The Company matches employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent for the firstsix percent of base salary contributed by participants. The Company’s expense for the plan was $70,000 and $138,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $66,000 and $104,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

As part of the reorganization and related stock offering, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP, covering substantially all employees. The ESOP acquired 1,082,130 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $13.59 per share on the open market with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Dividends on unallocated shares used to repay the loan for the Company are recorded as a reduction of the loan or accrued interest, as applicable. Dividends on allocated shares paid to participants are reported as compensation expense. Unearned ESOP shares which have not yet been allocated to ESOP participants are excluded from the computation of average shares outstanding for earnings per share calculation. Accordingly,816,089 and 843,142 shares of common stock acquired by the ESOP were shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid.
