NOTE 12 LEASING ACTIVITIES

As of March 31, 2025, the Bank leases four branch offices, one administrative office, one loan production office and sublets a lot adjacent to another branch office. The lease agreements have maturity dates ranging from 2028 to December 2041. It is assumed that there are currently no circumstances in which the leases would be terminated prior to expiration. The weighted average remaining life of the lease terms as of March 31, 2025 was 6.98 years.

This methodology is expected to be used for any other subsequent lease agreements. The weighted average discount rate for the leases as of March 31, 2025 was 3.37%.
