Regulatory Capital Requirements under Banking Regulations [Text Block]
NOTE 15: REGULATORY
 
RESTRICTIONS AND CAPITAL
 
RATIOS
As required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection
 
Act of 2018, the Federal Reserve Board
issued rule that expanded applicability of the Board’s
 
small bank holding company policy statement (the “Small BHC
Policy Statement”) and has been added as Appendix C to Federal Reserve Regulation
 
Y.
 
These increased the Small BHC
Policy Statement’s asset limit from
 
$1 billion to $3 billion in total consolidated assets for a bank holding company or
savings and loan holding company that: (1) is not engaged in significant nonbanking activities; (2)
 
does not conduct
significant off-balance sheet activities; and (3) does not have a materi
 
al amount of debt or equity securities, other than trust-
preferred securities, outstanding that are registered with the SEC. The interim
 
final rule provides that, if warranted for
supervisory purposes, the Federal Reserve may exclude a company from
 
this asset level increase. The Federal Reserve has
treated the Company as a small bank holding company for purposes of
 
the Small BHC Policy Statement and therefore has
considered only the Bank’s capital and
 
not the Company’s consolidated capital.
 
The Bank remains subject to regulatory capital requirements of
 
the Alabama Banking Department and the Federal Reserve.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory
 
- and possibly additional discretionary -
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
 
on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
 
action, the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain
 
off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification
 
are also subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings, necessary capital to support
 
risks and other factors.
 
Notwithstanding the
minimum capital requirements, Federal Reserve Regulation Q states that a Federal Reserve
 
-regulated institution must
maintain capital commensurate with the level and nature of all risks to which such
 
institution is exposed.
Federal Reserve Regulation Q limits “distributions” and discretionary
 
bonus payments from eligible retained income” by
sate member banks, such as the Bank, unless its capital conservation
 
buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”)
exceeds 2.5%. “Distributions” include dividends declared or paid on common
 
stock, and stock repurchases, redemptions or
repurchases of Tier 2 capital instruments (unless
 
replaced by a capital instrument in the same quarter). “Eligible retained
income” for the Bank and other Federal Reserve regulated institutions is the greater
 
of:
(A) The Board-regulated institution's net income, calculated in accordance
 
with the instructions to the institution’s
 
FR Y–
9C or Call Report, for the four calendar quarters preceding the current calendar
 
quarter, net of any distributions and
associated tax effects not already reflected in net income; and
 
(B) The average of the Board-regulated institution’s
 
net income, calculated in accordance with the instructions to the
institutions’ FR Y–9C or Call Report, as applicable, for the four calendar
 
quarters preceding the current calendar quarter.
 
The Bank’s Call Report is used for
 
its calculation of “eligible retained income”.
As of December 31, 2024, the Bank is “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework
 
for prompt corrective action. To
be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum common
 
equity Tier 1, total risk-based, Tier
 
1 risk-
based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
 
following table. Management has not received any notification from the
Bank's regulators that changes the Bank’s
 
regulatory capital status.
 
The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Bank and the aforementioned
 
minimums as of December 31, 2024 and 2023
are presented below.

Dividends paid by the Bank are a principal source of funds available to the Company
 
for payment of dividends to its
stockholders and for other needs which are restricted by Alabama and Federal law and
 
regulations as described above.
Capital adequacy considerations could further limit the availability of dividends
 
from the Bank. At December 31, 2024, the
Bank could have declared additional dividends of approximately $
9.7
 
million without prior approval of regulatory
authorities.
 
As a result of this limitation, approximately $
67.2
 
million of the Company’s investment in
 
the Bank was
restricted from transfer in the form of dividends.
