RANDOLPH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2022 and 2021

1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Randolph Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Envision Bank (the “Bank”, together with Bancorp, the “Company”). The Bank has subsidiaries involved in owning investment securities and foreclosed real estate properties and a subsidiary which provides loan closing services. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the accompanying interim financial statements do not include all information required under GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other interim period.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting requirements. In May 2020, FASB amended the effective date on the new guidance on leases. Previously, the amendments and related new guidance on leases were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for private companies. The new guidance on leases is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is still permitted, and the Company adopted the standard during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held right-of-use assets (“ROUs”) related to operating leases of $1.1 million, and recognized the ROUs in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets. The corresponding operating lease liability is recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in other liabilities for $1.1 million.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing probable incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgements used in determining the allowance for loan losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s loan portfolio. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which extended the effective date for adoption of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has formed a working group consisting of accounting, credit and data systems personnel to lead our implementation of this ASU. The working group is evaluating the alternative methodologies which are available and has engaged professional advisors to assist in implementation.

3. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), included in total stockholders’ equity, are as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2022			2021
	(In thousands)
Securities available for sale:

At March 31, 2022, 50 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 4.87% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The Company had 17 securities in a loss position at December 31, 2021. The unrealized losses at March 31, 2022 were due to interest rate increases since the date on which they were purchased. The Company currently does not believe it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these investments. Therefore, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell any debt securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any debt securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2022.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company periodically grants concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The Company’s troubled debt restructurings consist primarily of interest rate concessions for periods of three months to thirty years for residential real estate loans, and for periods up to one year for commercial real estate loans.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not enter into any loan modifications meeting the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring. 

Management performs a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the amount of valuation reserve required on each of the troubled debt restructurings. Any reserve required is recorded as part of the allowance for loan losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no material changes to the allowance for loan losses as a result of loan modifications made which were considered a troubled debt restructuring.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no troubled debt restructurings that defaulted (over 30 days past due) within twelve months of the restructure date.

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with troubled debt restructurings.  

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes an eight-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial and industrial loans, as follows:

Loans rated 1 – 3B are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 4 are considered “special mention.”  These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 5 are considered “substandard” and are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged.  There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

Loans rated 6 are considered “doubtful” and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 7 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial and industrial loans.  Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments.  Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

6. LOAN SERVICING

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $1.95 billion and $1.98 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In connection with these serviced loans, we maintained $16.5 million and $16.6 million of custodial escrow balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity relating to mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021
Mortgage servicing rights:
Balance at beginning of year	$	18,173		$	15,372
Additions through originations		377			2,786
Amortization		(749	)		(840	)
Balance at end of period	$	17,801		$	17,318
Valuation allowance:
Balance at beginning of year	$	2,558		$	2,995
Provision (recovery)		(135	)		(421	)
Balance at end of period	$	2,423		$	2,574
Amortized cost, net	$	15,378		$	14,744
Fair value	$	16,055		$	15,362

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company decreased the valuation allowance for its MSRs by $135,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company decreased the valuation allowance for its MSRs by $421,000. Such adjustments to the valuation allowance were due primarily to changes in fair value caused by the impact of changes in interest rates on expected loan prepayments.

7. ON-BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments qualify as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold either in the secondary market, to large aggregators of loans or to other financial institutions.

14

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to an increase in mortgage interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.  The notional amount of derivative loan commitments was $42,678,000 and $85,887,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of such commitments consisted of assets of $221,000 and $1,364,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and liabilities of $199,000 and $0 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.     

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

The Company utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments and To Be Announced (“TBA”) securities to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the value of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments as well as for loans held for sale.

With a “mandatory delivery” contract, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. If the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor to compensate the investor for the shortfall.

With a “best efforts” contract, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. Generally, the price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower).

The Company expects that these forward loan sale commitments and TBA securities will experience changes in fair value that serve to offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and derivative loan commitments, the degree to which depends on the notional amount of such sale commitments.  The notional amount of forward loan sale commitments and TBA securities was $44,132,000 and $80,407,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of such commitments consisted of liabilities of $13,000 and $84,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and assets of $674,000 and $50,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

8. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Bank maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), which is a tax-qualified retirement plan providing eligible employees the opportunity to own Company stock. The Company made a loan to the ESOP for the purchase of 469,498 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share in connection with its initial public offering in July 2016. The loan is payable annually over 25 years with interest at the prime rate to be reset each January 1. The loan is secured by the shares which have not yet been allocated to participants. Loan payments are funded by cash contributions from the Bank. Such contributions are allocated to eligible participants based on their compensation, subject to federal tax limits.

Shares are committed to be released on a monthly basis and allocated as of December 31 of each year. The number of shares to be allocated annually is 18,780 through the year 2040. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized compensation expense for the ESOP of $112,000 and $94,000, respectively. The fair value of the 352,187 unallocated ESOP shares at March 31, 2022 was $9,301,000.

9. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In October 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 10%, or 510,000 shares, of its then outstanding common shares. Repurchases under the program may be made in open market or in privately negotiated transactions and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC. Any repurchased shares will be held by the Company as authorized but unissued shares. On January 25, 2022, the Company announced a modification to this program. The modification changes the program so that the Company may purchase up to 62,000 shares, or approximately 1% of the Company’s outstanding stock. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had repurchased 62,000 shares at a cost of $1,402,000 in connection with this program.

10. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares of common stock having dividend rights are treated as “participating securities” and, accordingly,

15

are considered outstanding in computing basic earnings (loss) per share. Unallocated ESOP shares are not considered to be outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.  

The following table sets forth the calculation of the average number of shares outstanding used to calculate the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Average number of common shares outstanding		5,169,802			5,429,422
Less: Average unallocated ESOP shares		(354,477	)		(373,257	)
Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share		4,815,325			5,056,165
Effect of dilutive stock options		199,213			198,742
Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate dilutive earnings per share		5,014,538			5,254,907

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Randolph Bancorp, Inc. 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2017 Equity Plan”), the Company may grant options, restricted stock, restricted units or performance awards to its directors, officers and employees. Both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the 2017 Equity Plan with 586,872 shares initially reserved for options. Any options forfeited because vesting requirements are not met or expired will become available for re-issuance under the 2017 Equity Plan. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant and the maximum term of each option is 10 years. The total number of shares initially reserved for restricted stock is 234,749. Options and awards generally vest ratably over three to five years. The fair value of shares awarded is based on the market price at the date of grant.

In addition, the Company granted 15,000 shares of restricted stock and 44,118 options in 2020 as an inducement for senior executives to accept employment (the “2020 Inducement Plan”). The inducement awards and options vest ratably over five years.  The fair value of shares awarded is based on the market price at the date of grant.

At the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 24, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”). The 2021 Equity Plan permits equity awards to employees and directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock and other forms of compensation. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Equity Plan is 100,000. On August 13, 2021, the Company granted 18,000 performance-based restricted stock unit awards to certain senior level employees. These performance-based restricted stock unit awards were issued from the 2021 Equity Plan and were determined to have a grant fair value per share of $20.15. The number of stock units to be vested is contingent upon the Company’s attainment of certain performance criteria to be measured at the end of a three-year performance period, ending December 31, 2023. The awards will vest upon the earlier of the date on which it is determined if the performance goal is achieved subsequent to the performance period or April 15, 2024. Also on August 13, 2021, the Company granted 19,750 restricted stock awards to certain senior level employees and members of the Board of Directors. These restricted stock awards were issued from the 2021 Equity Plan and were determined to have a grant fair value per share of $20.15. The shares vest ratably over a three-year period.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

• Volatility is based on peer group volatility because the Company does not have a sufficient trading history.

• Expected life represents the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding, taking into account the contractual term, and the vesting period.

• Expected dividend yield is based on the Company's history and expectation of dividend payouts.

• The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a period equivalent to the expected life of the option.

16

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company made the following grants of options to purchase shares of common stock and used the following assumptions in measuring the fair value of such grants:

	2022		2021
Options granted		—		40,491
Vesting period (years)		—		5
Expiration period (years)		—		10
Expected volatility		—		30.98	%
Expected life (years)		—		6.2
Expected dividend yield		—		—
Risk free interest rate		—		0.64	%
Option fair value		—	$	6.20

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is presented in the table below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 stock-based compensation expense applicable to stock options was $93,000 and $142,000, respectively.  

Restricted Stock

Shares issued may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company. Any shares forfeited because vesting requirements are not met will become available for reissuance under the Equity Plan. The fair market value of shares awarded, based on the market price at the date of grant, is amortized over the applicable vesting period. Restricted stock awarded to date has been at no cost to the awardee. The following table presents the activity in restricted stock awards under the Equity Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

	Restricted Stock Awards			Weighted Average Grant Price		Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units(1)		Weighted Average Grant Price		Total Restricted Stock Awards and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units			Weighted Average Grant Price

Determination of fair value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  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 is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various assets and liabilities.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:

Securities – All fair value measurements are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are not adjusted by management.  The securities measured at fair value in Level 1 (none at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021) are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market. Securities measured at fair value in Level 2 are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

Loans held for sale – Fair values are based on commitments in effect from investors or prevailing market prices and include the servicing value of the loans.

Loans – Fair values for mortgage loans and other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Mortgage servicing rights – Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income, using various assumptions related to fees, discount rates and prepayment speeds.

On-balance-sheet derivatives - Fair values of forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans using current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market. For derivative loan commitments, fair values also consider the value of servicing, costs to be incurred to close loans and the probability of such commitments being exercised.

Off-balance sheet credit-related instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  The fair values of these instruments are not material.

There were no transfers between levels for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to record certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

	$	—	$	15,616	$	2,551

The Company recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance for its MSRs of $135,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company utilizes an independent valuation from a third party which uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The model uses loan prepayment assumptions based on current market conditions and applies a discount rate based on indicated rates of return required by market participants. The decrease in the valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was caused by slower loan prepayment speeds attributable to the increase in interest rates on residential mortgage loans during the period.

19

Losses applicable to write-downs of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. The losses on impaired loans are not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings, but rather as a component in determining the allowance for loan losses. The losses on foreclosed real estate represent adjustments in valuation recorded during the time period indicated and not for losses incurred on sales. Appraised values are typically based on a blend of (a) an income approach using observable cash flows to measure fair value, and (b) a market approach using observable market comparisons. These appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, expertise or changes in market conditions from time of valuation.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market, credit and interest rate risk which are not recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following financial instruments were outstanding, at the dates indicated, whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(In thousands)
Commitments to originate loans	$	85,463	$	107,889
Unused lines and letters of credit		75,823		79,012
Unadvanced funds on construction loans		13,895		13,879
Overdraft lines of credit		7,787		7,967

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The majority of these financial instruments are collateralized by real estate.

Other contingencies

The Company is not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its activities in one of two business segments, namely Envision Bank (“EB”) and Envision Mortgage (“EM”). Envision Bank operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Bank’s five full-service branch offices and investing those funds in residential and commercial real estate loans, home equity lines of credit, construction loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans. Envision Mortgage’s operations primarily consist of the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans and the servicing of loans sold to government-sponsored entities. A portion of the loans originated by Envision Mortgage are held in the loan portfolio of Envision Bank.

The information above was derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure performance of the segments.

The Company’s internal transfer pricing arrangements determined by management primarily consist of the following:

1. EM’s cost of funds is based on the weighted average rate of overnight advances from the FHLBB for the period.

2. EM is credited with service released premiums and a sales premium totaling 1.50% for new loans transferred to EB’s loans held for investment, and a 1.00% fee for home equity line of credit (“HELOC”) originations. This income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $727,000.

3. Loan servicing fees are charged to EB by EM based on the number of residential mortgage loans held in portfolio at a rate of 0.25% per annum and amounted to $205,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

4. Certain cost centers provide services to both business segments. The cost centers include Finance, Marketing, IT and Administration. Costs which are common to both business segments are referred to as “indirect costs” and are allocated using relevant benchmarks, e.g. headcount, number of accounts, etc.

Borrowings from the FHLB, which aggregated $45.0 million at March 31, 2022, are secured by blanket lien on qualified collateral, consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain commercial loans and qualified mortgage-backed government securities. The interest rates on FHLB advances ranged from 0.45% to 1.49%, and the weighted average interest rate on FHLB advances was 1.28% at March 31, 2022. All FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2022 are long-term with an original maturity of more than one year.

17. MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is subject to various capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective actions regulations involve qualitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgment by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015. Under BASEL III, community banking institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity tier I capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following tables) of total, Tier 1 capital and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (all as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2022, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier

24

1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual and minimum capital amounts and ratios, exclusive of the capital conservation buffer, are presented in the following table:

18. LEASES

The Company recognized ROUs and operating lease liabilities totaling $1.8 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The ROU is recognized in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and operating lease liabilities are recognized in other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. At March 31, 2022, the Company had entered in 9 noncancelable operating lease agreements for office space and branch locations, several of which contain renewal options to extend lease payments for a period of 1 to 10 years. The Company had no financing leases outstanding and no leases with residual value guarantees.

The Company’s operating lease cost was $170,000 and $245,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 4.4 years and 4.5 years at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 1.95% and 1.99% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows of base rent related to operating leases at March 31, 2022 with payments scheduled over the next five years and thereafter, including a reconciliation to the operating lease liability.

Overview

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income and net gains on loan origination and sale activities. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets consist primarily of residential mortgage loans (including loans held for sale), commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, construction loans, consumer loans and investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposit accounts (including brokered deposits) and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) and the FRB. Net gains on loan origination and sale activities result from the origination and sale of such loans to investors including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other financial institutions. The

27

amount of these gains is dependent on the volume of our loan originations, profit margins earned upon sale and the prevailing fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”).

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the loan is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as either additional information becomes available or circumstances change. The allowance for loan losses is allocated to loan types using both a formula-based approach applied to groups of loans (general component) and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment (allocated component). Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments using information available to them at the time of their examination.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In 2014, we established a 100% valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets after completing an assessment of our recent operating results, including significant non-recurring items, and projected operating results. This assessment led us to conclude that it was more likely than not that we would be unable to realize our deferred tax assets. In performing subsequent assessments through 2019, management concluded that no significant changes in the key factors affecting the realizability of our deferred tax assets had occurred and that a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets should be maintained. After incurring losses in four of the seven previous years, the Company had net income of $9.6 million and $19.9 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. During 2021, management concluded that the previous 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was no longer needed. There was no valuation allowance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We do not have any uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 which require accrual or disclosure. We record interest and penalties as part of income tax expense. Interest and penalties recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were not significant.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

Total Assets. Total assets decreased $33.0 million to $770.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $803.3 million at December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of a decrease in loans held for sale of $22.1 million and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $44.4 million, partially offset by net loan growth of $35.0 million. The decrease in loans held for sale is the result of declining mortgage banking activity during the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was the result of an $11.2 million dividend paid during the quarter and decreases in brokered deposits and FHLBB advances of $17.0 million, and $5.0 million, respectively. Net loan growth was mainly the result of one-to four-family residential loan growth of $35.4 million.

Loans Held for Sale. We are actively involved in the secondary mortgage market and historically sell most of our residential first mortgage loan production to investors. At March 31, 2022, loans held for sale totaled $22.7 million compared to $44.8 million at December 31, 2021. Proceeds from sales of mortgage loans totaled $131.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Increasing mortgage rates available during the first three months of 2022 negatively impacted loan refinancing activity, which comprised 51% of residential mortgage loan originations in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 80% in the first quarter of 2021.

28

Net Loans. Net loans increased $35.0 million to $579.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $544.6 million at December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of increases in residential and commercial real estate loans, where we have focused our originations in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by decreases in commercial and industrial, consumer and construction loans, where loan repayments have not been offset by increased loan originations or purchases.

Investment Securities. Investment securities, all of which are classified as available for sale, decreased $2.8 million to $48.8 million at March 31, 2022 from $51.7 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to principal payments on mortgage-backed securities and a decline in the fair value of securities attributable to an increase in longer-term interest rates, partially offset by purchases of U.S. Treasury securities in first quarter of 2022. At March 31, 2022, investments, a primary source of liquidity, represented 6.3% of total assets.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. MSRs decreased $238,000 to $15.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $15.6 million at December 31, 2021. The principal reason for the decrease was amortization in excess of the pace of the origination of new MSRs, partially offset by the recognition of a positive valuation adjustment of $135,000, given expectations of lower mortgage loan prepayments in the rising interest rate environment. At March 31, 2022, the Company serviced $1.95 billion of mortgage loans for others, a decrease of $23.7 million from $1.98 billion at December 31, 2021. The average value of MSRs at March 31, 2022 was 82 basis points, a decrease of 1 basis point from the average value of 83 basis points at December 31, 2021.

Deposits. Deposits decreased $13.5 million, or 2.1%, to $624.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $638.1 million at December 31, 2021. During this period, brokered deposits decreased by $17.0 million, or 33.9%, which was partially offset by growth in savings and money market accounts of $4.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Driving the decrease in brokered deposits was scheduled maturities of time deposits.

FHLBB Advances. FHLBB advances decreased by $5.0 million to $45.0 million at March 31, 2022, from $50.0 million at December 31, 2021, as the Company’s deposit gathering activities have reduced the reliance on wholesale funding.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $12.4 million to $88.5 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $100.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease reflects a net loss of $235,000 during the quarter, dividends of $11.2 million, $1.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, as a result of increasing interest rates on available for sale securities, and share repurchases of $1.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of options of $1.8 million and stock-based compensation of $284,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

General. The Company recognized a net loss of $235,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The worsening in operating results in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to a decline in net gain on loan origination and sale activities and the absence of a credit for loan losses, partially offset by decreases in non-interest expenses and the recognition of an income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2022.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and the expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned on such assets and paid on such liabilities.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income, presented on a tax equivalent basis, for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate

30

(changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income, inclusive of tax equivalent adjustments on municipal securities, decreased $32,000, or 0.6%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of loans and investment securities, partially offset by the interest rate paid on interest-earning deposits. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 29 basis points to 3.11% in the first quarter of 2022 from 3.40% in the same quarter of the prior year due principally to a declining contribution from residential mortgages.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $208,000, or 31.0%, to $462,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease resulted from a 19 basis point decrease in the cost of funds to 0.35%, which was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of term certificates. The decrease in cost of funds was principally due to a downward pricing of deposits and a change in composition of interest bearing liabilities, with more deposits and fewer borrowings during the quarter.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income, inclusive of tax equivalent adjustments on municipal securities, increased $176,000, or 3.5%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in deposit costs, complemented by a decline in the balance of FHLBB and FRB advances. The average balance of FHLBB and FRB advances in the first quarter of 2022 decreased $22.5 million, or 31.8%, from the prior year quarter and the average balance of lower cost interest bearing deposits increased $55.9 million, or 13.8%, from the prior year quarter, contributing to a 19 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $71,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to a credit for loan losses of $213,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The provision in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was driven by loan growth. The credit in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was driven by changes in the qualitative factors related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic environment used in the Company’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

Net Gain on Loan Origination and Sale Activities. The net gain on loan origination and sale activities decreased $9.7 million, or 88.5%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The higher mortgage rates offered during the first quarter of 2022 negatively impacted loan refinancing activity, which comprised 51% of loan production of $109.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 80% in the prior year quarter. Accordingly, loan sales proceeds decreased by 74.5% to $131.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $515.4 million in the prior year period.

31

Other Non-interest Income. Excluding the net gain on loan origination and sale activities, non-interest income was $928,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to non-interest income of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $502,000 decrease between periods was mainly attributed to a positive adjustment of $135,000 to the valuation allowance for MSRs which was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as loan prepayment speeds were adjusted lower to reflect the impact of higher interest rates, compared to a $421,000 positive adjustment to the valuation allowance recognized in the prior year quarter.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 27.2%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $3.3 million to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease is principally due to a decline in commissions of $3.8 million, primarily attributed to declining residential loan production.

Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $379,000, or 50.9%, to $365,000 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $744,000 in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was related to a $290,000 cease use liability reversal during the first quarter of 2022 and due to the decreases in the Company’s overall space footprint.

Professional fees increased $464,000 in the first quarter of 2022 over the prior year period, primarily related to legal fees and merger and acquisition related expenses.

Other non-interest expenses decreased $120,000, or 7.0% to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, because of lower costs related to declining levels of mortgage loan production.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). An income tax benefit of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted from pre-tax losses generated during the quarter, in addition to a high amount of non-qualified stock option exercises.

(1) Before elimination of inter-segment profit.

Envision Bank Segment

The Envision Bank segment had income before income taxes and elimination of inter-segment profit of $831,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in operating results between periods of $648,000 was mainly driven by merger expenses of $588,000 during the first quarter of 2022 and a $284,000 variation in the provision for loan losses.

Net interest income increased by $810,000, or 19.3%, as a result of a decrease in deposit rates that generated a 19 basis point decrease in the cost of funds in the first quarter of 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $71,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to a credit for loan losses of $213,000 in the prior year quarter.

Total assets attributable to the Envision Bank segment decreased $6.3 million, or 0.9%, to $702.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $708.6 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease was principally due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by loan growth.

Envision Mortgage Segment

The Envision Mortgage segment had a loss before income taxes and elimination of inter-segment profit of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to income of $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease of $6.4 million in operating results occurred as a result of a decrease of $9.7 million, or 82.9%, in net gains on loan origination and sale activities.

33

The net gain on loan origination and sale activities, the principal source of revenue for Envision Mortgage, decreased $9.7 million to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, driven by declines in overall mortgage loan production, primarily related to refinancing activity due to the rising rate environment.

Net interest income decreased $634,000, or 71.2%, to $256,000 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $890,000 in the first quarter of 2021. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of loans held for sale in the 2022 period.

Mortgage servicing fee income decreased $320,000 between periods largely due to a $286,000 decrease in the positive adjustment to the valuation allowance for MSRs in the 2022 period, as compared to the 2021 period.

Non-interest expenses of Envision Mortgage decreased $4.3 million, or 49.6%, to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease is primarily due to a decline of $3.4 million, or 51.5%, in salaries and employee benefits, largely related to decreased loan production volume and staffing reductions completed during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by severance expenses.

Occupancy and equipment decreased $448,000 as a result of a decrease in the residential lending footprint and a $290,000 reversal of a cease use liability during the first quarter of 2022. Other non-interest expenses decreased $407,000, or 24.2%, to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease is mainly due to volume-related cost decreases associated with declining residential mortgage loan production.

Total assets attributable to the Envision Mortgage segment were $68.0 million at March 31, 2022, compared to total assets of $94.6 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease is primarily related to a decrease in loans held for sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2022, we had $45.0 million of FHLBB advances outstanding. At that date, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $98.8 million from the FHLBB under a blanket pledge agreement, $4.2 million and $2.0 million under available lines of credit with the FHLBB and Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, respectively, and $12.5 million under an unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $71.1 million.  

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors. Deposits decreased $13.5 million, or 2.1%, to $624.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $638.1 million at December 31, 2021. During this period, brokered deposits, which management considers to be a source of wholesale funding and an alternative to FHLBB advances, decreased $17.0 million. FHLBB advances decreased $5.0 million to $45.0 million at March 31, 2022 from $50.0 million at December 31, 2021. Brokered deposits, FHLBB advances and listing service deposits make up the Bank’s wholesale funding which management targets at a limit of 25% of assets. At March 31, 2022, wholesale funding amounted to $107.5 million, or 14.0% of total assets.

At March 31, 2022, we had $85.5 million in loan commitments outstanding, including $42.7 million related to loans to be sold in the secondary mortgage market and to other financial institutions. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $75.8 million in unused lines and letters of credit to borrowers and $13.9 million in undisbursed construction loans. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2022 totaled $92.2 million, including $7.0 million of brokered deposits. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed or retained in other deposit products.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. At March 31, 2022, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 10.5%. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines as of March 31, 2022.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is not required to disclose quantitative and qualitative information about market risk as it qualifies as a smaller

reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not involved in any material pending litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Please read “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “10-K”). Except as noted below, there have been no material changes since the 10-K was filed. These risks are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the

36

Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results

If our merger with Hometown is not completed, we will have incurred substantial expenses without our shareholders realizing the expected benefits.

On March 28, 2022, we entered into the merger agreement with the MHC, Hometown, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which we will merge with and into Hometown, with Hometown as the surviving corporation. Completion of the merger is subject to closing conditions including, but not limited to, various regulatory approvals and the approval of our shareholders. We currently expect that the merger will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. It is possible, however, that factors outside of our control could require the parties to complete the merger at a later time, or not to complete the merger at all. In the event that the merger is not consummated for any reason, we will be subject to many risks, including the costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, which must be paid even if the merger is not completed, and, potentially, the payment of a termination fee under certain circumstances. If the merger is not consummated, the market price of our common stock could decline. We also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the merger agreement.

We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, suppliers and customers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us. Our employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the effective time of the merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.

The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our financial results. In addition, the merger agreement generally requires that we operate in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business and restricts us from taking certain actions prior to the effective time of the merger or termination of the merger agreement without Hometown’s consent in writing. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or impose conditions that are not presently anticipated.

Before the merger may be completed, certain approvals or consents must be obtained from the various bank regulatory and other authorities. There can be no assurance as to whether regulatory approval will be received or the timing of the approvals. Hometown is not obligated to complete the merger if the regulatory approvals received in connection with the completion of the merger include any conditions or restrictions that would constitute a burdensome condition under the merger agreement.

The termination fee and the restrictions on solicitation contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us.

Until the completion of the merger, we are prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging, or with some exceptions, considering any inquiries or proposals that may lead to a proposal or offer for a merger or other business combination transaction with any person other than Hometown. In addition, we have agreed to pay a termination fee of approximately $5.75 million to Hometown in specified circumstances. These provisions could discourage other companies from trying to acquire us even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to our shareholders than Hometown has offered in the merger. The payment of the termination fee also could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Litigation may be filed against the board of directors the Company and/or Hometown that could prevent or delay the completion of the merger or result in the payment of damages following completion of the merger.

In connection with the merger, it is possible that our shareholders may file putative class action lawsuits against the boards of directors of the Company and/or Hometown. Among other remedies, these shareholders could seek to enjoin the merger. The outcome of any such litigation would be uncertain. If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached, such potential lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the merger and result in substantial costs to Hometown and the Company, including any costs associated with indemnification obligations of the Company and/or Hometown.

(c) In October 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company would purchase up to 10%, or 510,000 shares, of its then outstanding common shares. This program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice and was set to expire on October 29, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company announced a modification to the program which changed the repurchase limit to 62,000 shares, or approximately 1% of the Company’s outstanding stock at the time of the modification. The timing of purchases depends on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, available funds and alternative uses of capital. The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open market purchases, block trades, negotiated transactions or pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Repurchased shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. As of March 31, 2022, the Company completed the program. The following table sets forth information with respect to any purchases made by or on behalf of the Company during the indicated periods under the repurchase plan:
