Future rate changes would impact a multitude of variables beyond the Company’s control, and as a result, the data presented is not intended to be used for forward-looking modeling purposes. • Interest rate risk modeling shows asset sensitive balance sheet; net interest income graph shows impact of an instantaneous, parallel rate shock and alternative views of a gradual parallel ramp and a parallel rate shock. • Management employs rigorous modeling techniques under a variety of yield curve shapes, twists and ramps. -15% 0% 15% 30% -200 -100 +100 +200 +300 Parallel Shock Alternative Parallel Shock Alternative Ramp 12-Month Interest Rate Sensitivity from Base Net Interest Income Parallel Shock is a statutory required calculation of the impact of an immediate change in rates, assuming other variables remain unchanged. Ramp reflects additional modeling of more gradual increases in interest rates. The Alternative scenarios mirror the Parallel Shock and Ramp with the additional incorporation of the Company’s card fee income and card processing expenses impacted by interest rates.
