Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and disclosure through the date financial statements were filed with the SEC. On April 29, 2020, the Company declared a quarterly dividend to common shareholders of $0.34 per share, to be paid on May 21, 2020 to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has seemingly triggered a period of material global economic slowdown which could be deemed to constitute or lead to a global recession. As a result, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact revenues and have other potential financial impacts on our position that are not yet known. Management has actively worked to minimize the current and future impact of this unprecedented situation and has made adjustments to operations where appropriate or necessary to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s financial results will depend on a number of things including the extent of the spread of the virus, the rate of infection, the severity of illness and the degree of lethality, the relative effect on various portions of the population, the measures taken to combat the virus and their effectiveness, the effect on international trade of any measures taken to combat the virus, any action taken (such as the lowering of interest rates) by government entities to combat the negative macroeconomic effects of these measures, the timing and availability of any treatments or vaccines for the virus, any possible resurgence of the COVID-19 virus after the initial outbreak, and other factors. There are no comparable recent events that may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and the resulting pandemic, and, as a result, there is considerable uncertainty of its potential effect.

As part of the U.S. government’s response to COVID-19, the CARES Act enacted a number of measures to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy. For instance, the CARES Act created a new guaranteed, unsecured loan program under the Small Business Administration, or SBA, called the Payroll Protection Program, or the PPP, which the Company participates in, designed to provide a direct incentive for sole proprietors, independent contractors, self-employed persons, non-profits, and small businesses with less than 500 employees, allowing for narrow exceptions with businesses greater than 500 employees, to keep their workers on the payroll during the pandemic period. The Company is actively participating in assisting our customers with applications for resources through the program and through Phase I approved more than 6,800 applications, for approximately $1.0 billion.

The CARES Act permits financial institutions to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 and is intended to provide interpretive guidance as to conditions that would constitute a short-term modification that would not meet the definition of a TDR. As of April 27, 2020 the Company has implemented modifications on approximately 3,950 loans totaling approximately $1.1 billion and anticipates that it will continue to experience an increase in short-term modifications. Additionally, the Company has granted forbearance requests on approximately 133 residential mortgage loans totaling $46.6 million.

No other undisclosed events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified.
