Allowance for Credit Loss of 28 bps of loans held for investment includes a net increase of $2.29 million in
3Q23 as a result of a $3.46 million decrease in reserve on loans and $682 thousand specific reserve release
related to PCD loans, primarily due to a payoff, partially offset by an increase of $153 thousand related to
impaired loans and an increase of $1.7 million in qualitative adjustments to the loan portfolio to reflect current
market conditions and the effect of high interest rates.

Probability of Default ("PD") and Loss Given Default ("LGD") term structure approach for majority of loan
portfolio (97% of Non-PCD portfolio) with Loss Rate approach for remainder of Non-PCD loan portfolio.
PCD loans associated with the TGR Financial acquisition were individually assessed for credit losses based on
methodologies consistent with the CECL standards.
Reasonable and supportable forecast period of 2 years using a weighting of Moody's consensus and
alternative economic scenarios.
Reversion to long run historical PDs and LGDs after 2 year period.
Management expects key drivers of provisioning and reserving under CECL standard going forward to
include:
Replenishment of reserves for net charge-offs
Change in portfolio size and composition
■ All other macroeconomic variables and loan level characteristics
Ongoing reserve levels will continue to utilize quantitative and qualitative information.
