Note A –Background and Basis of Presentation

City Holding Company ("City Holding"), a West Virginia corporation headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, is a registered financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act and conducts its principal activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, City National Bank of West Virginia ("City National"). City National is a retail and consumer-oriented community bank with 94 banking offices in West Virginia (58), Kentucky (19), Virginia (13) and southeastern Ohio (4). City National provides credit, deposit, and trust and investment management services to its customers in a broad geographical area that includes many rural and small community markets in addition to larger cities including Charleston (WV), Huntington (WV), Martinsburg (WV), Ashland (KY), Lexington (KY), Winchester (VA) and Staunton (VA). In addition to its branch network, City National's delivery channels include automated-teller-machines ("ATMs"), interactive-teller machines ("ITMs"), mobile banking, debit cards, interactive voice response systems, and Internet technology. The Company’s business activities are currently limited to one reportable business segment, which is community banking.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, include all of the accounts of City Holding and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for each of the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and with Industry Guide 3, Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies. Such policies require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020 Annual Report of the Company.

Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified.  Such reclassifications had no impact on shareholders’ equity or net income for any period.

Note B -     Recent Accounting Pronouncements    

Recently Adopted:

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." This amendment permits the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the UST, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. This ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 with anticipation the LIBOR index will be phased out by the end of 2021. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This amendment provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed all contracts, identified those that will be affected, and is continuing to review probable replacements for LIBOR.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

The Company's other investment securities include marketable, non-marketable equity securities and certificates of deposits held for investment. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $9.2 million and $11.8 million in marketable equity securities, respectively. Marketable equity securities mainly consist of investments made by the Company in equity positions of various community banks. Included within this portfolio are ownership positions in community bank holding companies including Eagle Financial Services, Inc. (EFSI) (1.5%). Changes in the fair value of the marketable equity securities are recorded in "unrealized gains (losses) recognized on equity securities still held" in the consolidated statements of income. The Company's non-marketable securities consist of securities with limited marketability, such as stock in the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") or the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $15.3 million and $15.5 million, respectively, in non-marketable equity securities. These securities are carried at cost due to the restrictions placed on their transferability. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in certificates of deposits held for investment.

The Company's mortgage-backed U.S. government agency securities consist of both residential and commercial securities, all of which are guaranteed by Fannie Mae ("FNMA"), Freddie Mac ("FHLMC"), or Ginnie Mae ("GNMA"). At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there were no securities of any non-governmental issuer whose aggregate carrying value or estimated fair value exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity.

Certain investment securities owned by the Company were in an unrealized loss position (i.e., amortized cost basis exceeded the estimated fair value of the securities) as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.  The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands):

The Company incurred no credit-related investment impairment losses in either the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, management does not intend to sell any impaired security and it is not more than likely that it will be required to sell any impaired security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily the result of interest rate changes, credit spread fluctuations on agency-issued mortgage-related securities, general financial market uncertainty and unprecedented market volatility. These conditions should not prohibit the Company from receiving its contractual principal and interest payments on its debt securities. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date. As of September 30, 2021, management believes the unrealized losses detailed in the table above are temporary and therefore no allowance for credit losses has been recognized on the Company’s securities. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss will be recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified, while any noncredit loss will be recognized in other comprehensive income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no credit-related net investment impairment losses.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2021, by contractual maturity, is shown in the following table (in thousands).  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.  Mortgage-backed securities have been allocated to their respective maturity groupings based on their contractual maturity.
Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities    
Due in one year or less $ 3,829  $ 3,888 
Due after one year through five years 42,608  44,755

Net unrealized gains (losses) recognized on equity securities still held $ 93  $ 461  $ 452  $ (1,698)

During January 2020, the Company sold the entirety of its Visa Inc. Class B common shares (86,605) in a cash transaction which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $17.8 million. The carrying value of the Visa Class B shares on the Company's balance sheet was $0, as the Company had no historical cost basis in the shares.

The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law approximated $691 million and $644 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s commercial and residential real estate construction loans are primarily secured by real estate within the Company’s principal markets.  These loans were originated under the Company’s loan policies, which are focused on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, including construction loans. In the judgment of the Company's management, adequate consideration has been given to these loans in establishing the Company's allowance for credit losses.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Company originated loans to its customers under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). Loans covered by the PPP may be eligible for loan forgiveness. The remaining loan balances, if any, after the loan forgiveness, are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has funded approximately $136 million of SBA-approved PPP loans to over 2,500 customers. The Company started submitting forgiveness applications on behalf of its customers during the fourth quarter of 2020 and as of September 30, 2021, has received forgiveness proceeds of approximately $110 million.

Management systematically monitors the loan portfolio and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis to provide for expected losses inherent in the portfolio. Management assesses the risk in each loan type based on historical trends, the general economic environment of its local markets, individual loan performance and other relevant factors. The Company's estimate of future economic conditions utilized in its provision estimate is primarily dependent on expected unemployment ranges over a two-year period. Beyond two years, a straight line reversion to historical average loss rates is applied over the life of the loan pool in the migration methodology. The vintage methodology applies future average loss rates based on net losses in historical periods where the unemployment rate was within the forecasted range. The provision for credit losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the expected economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of COVID-19, expected unemployment ranges significantly increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and resulted in an increase in the Company's provision for credit losses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company partially recovered a portion of the provision for credit losses incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, due to adjustments to qualitative and other factors.

15

Individual credits in excess of $1 million are selected at least annually for detailed loan reviews, which are utilized by management to assess the risk in the portfolio and the appropriateness of the allowance.

Non-Performing Loans

Interest income on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amount outstanding, using methods that generally result in level rates of return.  Loan origination fees, and certain direct costs, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the yield over the term of the loan.  The accrual of interest generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest for all loan types.  However, any loan may be placed on non-accrual status if the Company receives information that indicates a borrower is unable to meet the contractual terms of its respective loan agreement. Other indicators considered for placing a loan on non-accrual status include the borrower’s involvement in bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions, litigation and any other situation resulting in doubt as to whether full collection of contractual principal and interest is attainable.  When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income in the current year is reversed, and interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for credit losses.  Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the net realizable value of collateral exceeds the principal balance and related accrued interest, and the loan is in the process of collection.

Generally for all loan classes, interest income during the period the loan is non-performing is recorded on a cash basis after recovery of principal is reasonably assured.  Cash payments received on nonperforming loans are typically applied directly against the outstanding principal balance until the loan is fully repaid.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, the borrower has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

     The Company would have recognized less than $0.3 million of interest income during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, if such loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. There were no significant commitments to provide additional funds on non-accrual or impaired loans at September 30, 2021.

Generally, all loan types are considered past due when the contractual terms of a loan are not met and the borrower is 30 days or more past due on a payment.  Furthermore, residential and home equity loans are generally subject to charge-off when the loan becomes 120 days past due, depending on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to dispose, versus the outstanding loan balance.  Commercial loans are generally charged off when the loan becomes 120 days past due.  Open-end consumer loans are generally charged off when the loan becomes 180 days past due.

Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs")

The Company’s policy on loan modifications typically does not allow for modifications that would be considered a concession from the Company. However, when there is a modification, the Company evaluates each modification to determine if the modification constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) in accordance with ASU 2011-02, whereby a modification of a loan would be considered a TDR when both of the following conditions are met: (1) a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the modification constitutes a concession. These modifications range from partial deferrals (interest only) to full deferrals (principal and interest). When determining whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company reviews whether the debtor is currently in payment default on any of its debt or whether it is probable that the debtor
18

would be in payment default in the foreseeable future without the modification. Other indicators of financial difficulty include whether the debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy, the debtor’s ability to continue as a going concern, or the debtor’s projected cash flow to service its debt (including principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms for the foreseeable future, without a modification.

The following table sets forth the Company’s TDRs (in thousands). Substantially all of the Company's TDRs are accruing interest.

The TDRs above increased the allowance for credit losses by less than $0.1 million in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and resulted in no charge-offs during those same time periods.
19


The Company had one TDR that had a partial charge-off of $2.1 million during 2021, and no significant TDRs that subsequently defaulted in 2020.

Most TDRs above are reported due to filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Regulatory guidance requires that loans be accounted for as collateral-dependent loans when borrowers have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debt has been discharged by the bankruptcy court and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt. The filing of bankruptcy is deemed to be evidence that the borrower is in financial difficulty and the discharge of debt by the bankruptcy court is deemed to be a concession granted to the borrower.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March of 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory guidance was issued that clarified the accounting for loan modifications. Modifications of loan terms do not automatically result in a TDR. Short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extension of repayment terms, or other delays that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time of modification. In addition, modifications or deferrals pursuant to the CARES Act do not represent TDRs. However, these deferrals do not absolve the company from performing its normal risk rating and therefore a loan could be current and have a less than satisfactory risk rating.

Through September 30, 2021, the Company granted deferrals of approximately $143 million to its mortgage customers. These deferral arrangements ranged from 30 days to 90 days. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $3 million of these loans were still deferring, while approximately $140 million have resumed making their normal loan payment. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $4 million of these deferrals were previously and currently considered TDRs due to Chapter 7 bankruptcies.

Through September 30, 2021, the Company granted deferrals of approximately $479 million to its commercial customers. These deferral arrangements ranged from one month to six months. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $15 million of these loans related to hotel and lodging customers were still deferring, while approximately $464 million have resumed making their normal loan payment.

Credit Quality Indicators
 
All commercial loans within the portfolio are subject to internal risk rating.  All non-commercial loans are evaluated based on payment history.  The Company’s internal risk ratings for commercial loans are:  Exceptional, Good, Acceptable, Pass/Watch, Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful.  Each internal risk rating is defined in the loan policy using the following criteria:  balance sheet yields; ratios and leverage; cash flow spread and coverage; prior history; capability of management; market position/industry; potential impact of changing economic, legal, regulatory or environmental conditions; purpose; structure; collateral support; and guarantor support.  Risk grades are generally assigned by the primary lending officer and are periodically evaluated by the Company’s internal loan review process.  Based on an individual loan’s risk grade, estimated loss percentages are applied to the outstanding balance of the loan to determine the amount of expected loss.
 
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information regarding the customer’s debt service ability, capacity and overall collateral position, along with other economic trends and historical payment performance.  The risk rating for each credit is updated when the Company receives current financial information, the loan is reviewed by the Company’s internal loan review and credit administration departments, or the loan becomes delinquent or impaired.  The risk grades are updated a minimum of annually for loans rated Exceptional, Good, Acceptable, or Pass/Watch.  Loans rated Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful are reviewed at least quarterly.  The Company uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:
Risk Rating Description
Pass Ratings:
(a) Exceptional Loans classified as exceptional are secured with liquid collateral conforming to the internal loan policy.  Loans rated within this category pose minimal risk of loss to the bank.
(b) Good Loans classified as good have similar characteristics that include a strong balance sheet, satisfactory debt service coverage ratios, strong management and/or guarantors, and little exposure to economic cycles. Loans in this category generally have a low chance of loss to the bank.
(c) Acceptable Loans classified as acceptable have acceptable liquidity levels, adequate debt service coverage ratios, experienced management, and have average exposure to economic cycles.  Loans within this category generally have a low risk of loss to the bank.
(d) Pass/watch Loans classified as pass/watch have erratic levels of leverage and/or liquidity, cash flow is volatile and the borrower is subject to moderate economic risk.  A borrower in this category poses a low to moderate risk of loss to the bank.
Special mention Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness(es) that deserves management’s close attention.  The potential weakness could result in deterioration of the loan repayment or the bank’s credit position at some future date.  A loan rated in this category poses a moderate loss risk to the bank.
Substandard Loans classified as substandard reflect a customer with a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt.  Loans in this category have the possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected and the bank’s collateral value is weakened by the financial deterioration of the borrower.
Doubtful Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristics that make collection of the full contract amount highly improbable.  Loans rated in this category are most likely to cause the bank to have a loss due to a collateral shortfall or a negative capital position.

Note F –Derivative Instruments

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company primarily utilizes non-hedging derivative financial instruments with commercial banking customers to facilitate their interest rate management strategies. For these instruments, the Company acts as an intermediary for its customers and has offsetting contracts with financial institution counterparties. Changes in the fair value of these underlying derivative contracts generally offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company's results of operations.


The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of these derivative instruments (in thousands):
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Notional Amount Fair Value Notional Amount Fair Value
Non-hedging interest rate derivatives:
Customer counterparties:
Loan interest rate swap - assets $ 540,737  $ 26,126  $ 647,613  $ 52,364 
Loan interest rate swap - liabilities 139,539  3,684  37,721  562 
Non-hedging interest rate derivatives:

Loan interest rate swap - liabilities 544,384  26,231  661,866  52,607 

The following table summarizes the change in fair value of these derivative instruments (in thousands):
  Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Change in Fair Value Non-Hedging Interest Rate Derivatives:    
Other (expense) income - derivative assets $ (3,999) $ (4,615) $ (22,138) $ 37,103 
Other income (expense) - derivative liabilities 3,999  4,615  22,138  (37,103)
Other income (expense) - derivative liabilities 59  (20) 411  163 

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements. The Company's derivative transactions with financial institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association ("ISDA") master agreements which include "right of setoff" provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Nonetheless, the Company does not generally offset financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

Pursuant to the Company's agreements with certain of its derivative financial institution counterparties, the Company may receive collateral or post collateral, which may be in the form of cash or securities, based upon mark-to-mark positions. The Company has posted collateral with a value of $36.2 million and $68.4 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Loans associated with a customer counterparty loan interest rate swap agreement may be subject to a make whole penalty upon termination of the agreement. The dollar amount of the make whole penalty varies based on the remaining term of the agreement and market rates at that time. The make whole penalty is secured by equity in the specific collateral securing the loan. The Company estimates the make whole penalty when determining if there is sufficient collateral to pay off both the potential make whole penalty and the outstanding loan balance at the origination of the loan. In the event of a customer default, the make whole penalty is capitalized into the existing loan balance; however, no guarantees can be made that the collateral will be sufficient to cover both the make whole provision and the outstanding loan balance at the time of foreclosure.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into a series of fair value hedge agreements to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the change in fair value of certain securities. The total notional amount of these agreements was $150 million. The gains or losses on these hedges are recognized in current earnings as fair value changes. The fair value of these hedges was $3.0 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Note G –Employee Benefit Plans

Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Share Units

The Company records compensation expense with respect to restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance share units in an amount equal to the fair value of the common stock covered by each award on the date of grant. These awards become fully vested after various periods of continued employment from the respective dates of grant. The Company is entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted shares when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Compensation is being charged to expense over the respective vesting periods.

Restricted shares are forfeited if the awardee officer or employee terminates his employment with the Company prior to the lapsing of restrictions. The Company records forfeitures of restricted stock as treasury share repurchases and any compensation cost previously recognized is reversed in the period of forfeiture.  Recipients of restricted shares do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the shares, and, except for restricted stock units and performance share units, have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and receive all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested.  For restricted shares and performance share units that have performance-based criteria, management has evaluated those criteria and has determined that, as of September 30, 2021, the criteria were probable of being met.

A summary of the Company’s restricted shares activity and related information is presented below:
Nine months ended September 30,
  2021 2020
Restricted Awards Average Market Price at Grant Restricted Awards Average Market Price at Grant
Outstanding at January 1 158,554  $ 67.40  148,083  $ 62.62

Outstanding at September 30 147,605  $ 72.23  156,911  $ 66.56 

Information regarding stock-based compensation associated with restricted shares is provided in the following table (in thousands):

Stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted shares $ 717  $ 708  $ 2,192  $ 2,018 
At period-end: September 30, 2021
Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted shares $ 5,704 
Weighted average period (in years) in which the above amount is expected to be recognized 2.9

Shares issued in conjunction with restricted stock awards are issued from available treasury shares. If no treasury shares are available, new shares would be issued from available authorized shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, all shares issued in connection with restricted stock awards were issued from available treasury stock.

Benefit Plans
 
The Company provides retirement benefits to its employees through the City Holding Company 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”), which is intended to be compliant with Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) section 404(c). The Company also maintains a frozen defined benefit pension plan (the “Defined Benefit Plan”), which was inherited from the Company's acquisition of the plan sponsor (Horizon Bancorp, Inc.).

Note H –Commitments and Contingencies

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID-19 are evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, the effects could have a material adverse impact on the Company in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, customer demand, funding, operations, interest rate risk, human capital and self-insurance, as well as financial statement related risk associated with critical accounting estimates such as the allowance for credit losses or valuation impairments on the Company's goodwill, intangible assets and deferred taxes.

Credit Related Financial Instruments

The Company is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  The Company has entered into agreements with certain customers to extend credit or provide a conditional commitment to provide payment on drafts presented in accordance with the terms of the underlying credit documents. The Company also provides overdraft protection to certain demand deposit customers that represent an unfunded commitment.  Overdraft protection commitments, which are included with other commitments below, are uncollateralized and are paid at the Company’s discretion.  Conditional commitments generally include standby and commercial letters of credit. Standby letters of credit represent an obligation of the Company to a designated third party contingent upon the failure of a customer of the Company to perform under the terms of the underlying contract between the customer and the third party. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce. Under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated, as intended, between the customer and a third party. The funded portion of these financial instruments is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet, while the unfunded portion of these commitments is not reflected in the balance sheet.  

The table below presents a summary of the contractual obligations of the Company resulting from significant commitments (in thousands):
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Commitments to extend credit:    
Home equity lines $ 221,442  $ 215,619 
Commercial real estate 46,875  65,828 
Other commitments 227,666  245,647 
Standby letters of credit 6,026  6,460 
Commercial letters of credit 153  610 
 
Loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit have credit risks essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s standard credit policies. Collateral is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.

28

Litigation

In addition, the Company is engaged in various legal actions that it deems to be in the ordinary course of business. As these legal actions are resolved, the Company could realize positive and/or negative impact to its financial performance in the period in which these legal actions are ultimately resolved. There can be no assurance that current legal actions will have an immaterial impact on financial results, either positive or negative, or that no material legal actions may be presented in the future.

Note J – Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share using the two class method (in thousands, except per share data): 
Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Net income available to common shareholders $ 22,732  $ 20,126  $ 64,694  $ 67,374 
Less: earnings allocated to participating securities (220) (198) (618) (658)
Net earnings allocated to common shareholders $ 22,512  $ 19,928  $ 64,076  $ 66,716 
Distributed earnings allocated to common stock $ 8,726  $ 8,944  $ 26,177  $ 26,832 
Undistributed earnings allocated to common stock 13,786  10,984  37,899  39,884 
Net earnings allocated to common shareholders $ 22,512  $ 19,928  $ 64,076  $ 66,716 
Average shares outstanding 15,279  15,950  15,501  16,065 
Effect of dilutive securities:    
Employee stock awards 23  20  25  19 
Shares for diluted earnings per share 15,302  15,970  15,526  16,084 
Basic earnings per share $ 1.47  $ 1.25  $ 4.13  $ 4.15 
Diluted earnings per share $ 1.47  $ 1.25  $ 4.13  $ 4.15 

Anti-dilutive options are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company bases fair value of assets and liabilities on quoted market prices, prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.  If such information is not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.  These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty creditworthiness, as well as unobservable parameters.  Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.  The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.  Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.  A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities

measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

Securities Available for Sale.  Securities available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs.  The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by utilizing a market approach by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (other than forced or distressed transactions) that occur in sufficient volume or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.  If such measurements are unavailable, the security is classified as Level 3.  Significant judgment is required to make this determination.

The Company utilizes a third party pricing service provider to value its Level 1 and Level 2 investment securities.  Annually, the Company obtains an independent auditor’s report from its third party pricing service provider regarding its controls over investment securities. On a quarterly basis, the Company reprices its debt securities with a third party that is independent of the primary pricing service provider to verify the reasonableness of the fair values.

Derivatives. Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.  The Company utilizes a market approach by obtaining dealer quotations to value its customer interest rate swaps.  The Company’s derivatives are included within "other assets" and "other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Derivative assets are typically secured through securities with financial counterparties or cross collateralization with a borrowing customer. Derivative liabilities are typically secured through the Company pledging securities to financial counterparties or, in the case of a borrowing customer, by the right of setoff. The Company considers factors such as the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties, right of setoff, and remaining maturities in determining the appropriate fair value adjustments. All derivative counterparties approved by the Company's Asset and Liability Committee ("ALCO") are regularly reviewed, and appropriate business action is taken to adjust the exposure to certain counterparties, if necessary. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting agreements, as well as considering the amount of marketable collateral securing the position. This approach used to estimate impacted exposures to counterparties is also used by the Company to estimate its own credit risk in derivative liability positions. To date, no material losses have been incurred due to a counterparty's inability to pay any undercollateralized position. There was no significant change in the value of derivative assets and liabilities attributed to credit risk that would have resulted in a derivative credit risk valuation adjustment at September 30, 2021.

31

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include individually evaluated loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on observable market data for both real estate collateral and non-real estate collateral.  The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value (in thousands):

The Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) include impaired loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for credit losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral (in thousands).  The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent impaired loans primarily relate to discounts applied to the customers’ reported amount of collateral.  The amount of collateral discount depends upon the marketability of the underlying collateral.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, collateral discounts ranged from 10% to 30%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no Level 2 financial assets and liabilities that were measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has no non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include other real estate owned (“OREO”), which is measured at the lower of cost or fair value, and goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value for impairment assessments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments,” as amended, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  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 discount rates and estimate of future cash flows.  In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

33

The following table represents the estimates of fair value of financial instruments (in thousands). For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

COVID-19 Pandemic/Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant health, economic and other major pressure throughout the communities the Company serves, the United States and the entire world. The Company has implemented a number of procedures in response to the pandemic to support the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and shareholders that continue through the date of this report, including but not limited to:

We addressed the safety of our branches by following recommended state mandates. During this time, we found ways to service our customers based on their needs; in person, over the phone, via digital banking access and our drive thru facilities. We adapted our delivery channels to meet our customer's needs, including opening deposit accounts and closing loans in our drive thrus.
We provided extensions and deferrals to loan customers affected by COVID-19 provided such customers were not 30 days past due at March 19, 2020. Through September 30, 2021, the Company granted deferrals of approximately $143 million to its mortgage customers. These deferral arrangements ranged from 30 days to 90 days. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $3 million of these loans were still deferring, while approximately $140 million have resumed making their normal loan payment. Through September 30, 2021, the Company granted deferrals of approximately $479 million to its commercial customers. These deferral arrangements ranged from one month to six months. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $15 million of these loans related to hotel and lodging customers were still deferring, while approximately $464 million have resumed making their normal loan payment.
We chose to participate in the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") that provided government guaranteed and forgivable loans to our customers. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has funded approximately $136 million of SBA-approved PPP loans to over 2,500 customers. The Company started submitting forgiveness applications on behalf of its customers during the fourth quarter of 2020 and as of September 30, 2021, has received forgiveness proceeds of approximately $110 million.

The Company continues to closely monitor this pandemic and expects to make future changes to respond to the pandemic as this situation continues to evolve.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related footnotes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available to management as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates. As this information changes, management’s estimates and assumptions used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures may also change. The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note One to the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020 Annual Report of the Company.  Based on the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for credit losses and income taxes to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans: The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. These evaluations are conducted at least quarterly and more frequently if deemed necessary. Additionally, all commercial loans within the portfolio are subject to internal risk grading. Risk grades are generally assigned by the primary lending officer and are periodically evaluated by the Company’s internal loan review process.

35

Table of Contents
In evaluating the appropriateness of its allowance for credit losses, the Company stratifies the loan portfolio into six major groupings. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods:
Portfolio Segment Measurement Method
Commercial and industrial Migration
Commercial real estate:
   1-4 family Migration
   Hotels Migration
   Multi-family Migration
   Non Residential Non-Owner Occupied Migration
   Non Residential Owner Occupied Migration
Residential real estate Vintage
Home equity Vintage
Consumer Vintage

Migration is an analysis that tracks a closed pool of loans for a configurable period of time and calculates a loss ratio on only those loans in the pool at the start date based on outstanding balance. Vintage is a predictive loss model that includes a reasonable approximation of probable and estimable future losses by tracking each loan's net losses over the life of the loan as compared to its original balance. For demand deposit overdrafts, the allowance for credit losses is measured using the historical loss rate. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loan, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled-debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it conducts business.  In computing the provision for income taxes, management must make judgments regarding interpretation of laws in those jurisdictions.  Because the application of tax laws and regulations for many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determinations by taxing authorities.  On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate for the year and uses that rate to provide for income taxes on a year-to-date basis.  The amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change over the next twelve months as a result of various factors.  However, management cannot currently estimate the range of possible change.  The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and forward.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Selected balance sheet fluctuations from the year ended December 31, 2020 are summarized in the following table (in millions):
September 30, December 31,
2021 2020 $ Change % Change
Cash and cash equivalents $ 639.5  $ 528.7  $ 110.8  21.0  %
Investment securities 1,397.6  1,206.2  191.4  15.9  %
Gross loans 3,521.9  3,622.1  (100.2) (2.8) %
Total deposits 4,887.5  4,652.2  235.3  5.1  %

Cash and cash equivalents increased $111 million (21.0%) from December 31, 2020 to $640 million at September 30, 2021, due to an increase in deposit balances primarily as a result of the third round of Economic Income Payments as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 and a weak loan demand environment.

Investment securities increased $191 million (15.9%) from December 31, 2020 to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2021, due to the increase in deposit balances and a weak loan demand environment.

Gross loans decreased $100 million (2.8%) from December 31, 2020 to $3.52 billion at September 30, 2021. PPP loans decreased $29 million from December 31, 2020, as loans forgiven of $76 million were partially offset by the Company’s participation in the second round of the PPP lending ($47 million). Excluding outstanding PPP loans (included in the commercial and industrial loan category), total loans decreased $71.0 million, (2.0%), from December 31, 2020 to $3.50 billion at September 30, 2021. Residential real estate loans decreased $81.1 million (5.1%); home equity loans decreased $11.7 million (8.6%); consumer loans decreased $4.4 million (9.2%); commercial real estate loans increased $16.7 million (1.1%); and commercial and industrial loans increased $9.2 million (2.9%) (excluding PPP loans).

Total deposits increased $235 million (5.1%) from December 31, 2020 to $4.89 billion at September 30, 2021. This increase was largely attributable to the third round of Economic Impact Payments as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (approximately $180 million).

Net Interest Income

Nine months ended September 30, 2021 vs. 2020

The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income decreased $1.2 million, or (1.0)%, from $117.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $116.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of accretion from fair value adjustments, net interest income increased $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Lower loan yields (41 basis points) and lower investment yields (53 basis points) decreased net interest income by $10.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Additionally, lower average loan volumes ($89.6 million) decreased net interest income by $3.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in average investment securities ($284 million), which increased net interest income by $6.2 million, lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (45 basis points), which lowered interest expense by approximately $9.1 million and an increase in loan fees related to PPP loan forgiveness, which increased net interest income by $2.4 million. The Company’s reported net interest margin decreased from 3.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 2.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis on March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve cut the target range for the Fed Funds Rate to a range of 0-25 basis points, which had the impact of lowering interest rates on variable rates tied to Prime, LIBOR or Fed Funds, as well as decreasing deposit rates. The Company's loan portfolio has historically included a significant portion of adjustable rate residential mortgage loans and variable rate commercial real estate loans made in markets where the Company has a presence.

Net Interest Income

Three months ended September 30, 2021 vs. 2020

The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income increased from $38.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $39.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of accretion from fair value adjustments, net interest income increased $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. A decrease in rates paid on interest bearing deposits (41 basis points) and an increase in average investment balances ($300.3 million) increased net interest income by $2.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In addition, higher loan fees, primarily related to PPP loan forgiveness, increased net interest income by $1.0 million and lower average time deposit balances ($195.9 million) increased net interest income by $0.7 million. These increases were partially offset by lower average investment yields (61 basis points), lower loan yields (18 basis points) and lower average loan balances ($126.1 million), which lowered net interest income by $2.1 million, $1.4 million, and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company’s reported net interest margin decreased from 3.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 2.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis on March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve cut the target range for the Fed Funds Rate to a range of 0-25 basis points, which had the impact of lowering interest rates on variable rates tied to Prime, LIBOR or Fed Funds, as well as decreasing deposit rates. The Company's loan portfolio has historically included a significant portion of adjustable rate residential mortgage loans and variable rate commercial real estate loans made in markets where the Company has a presence.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management of the Company uses measures in its analysis of the Company's performance other than those in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures are useful when evaluating the underlying performance of the Company's operations. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures enhance comparability of results with prior periods and demonstrate the effects of significant gains and charges in the current period. The Company's management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance without the impact of those items that may obscure trends in the Company's performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. The following table reconciles fully taxable equivalent net interest income with net interest income as derived from the Company's financial statements, as well as other non-GAAP measures (dollars in thousands):

Total loans $ 3,521,925  $ 3,622,119  $ 3,663,966 

Loan balances decreased $100.2 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.

The commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan portfolio consists of loans to corporate borrowers that are primarily in small to mid-size industrial and commercial companies. Collateral securing these loans includes equipment, machinery, inventory, receivables and vehicles. C&I loans are considered to contain a higher level of risk than other loan types, although care is taken to minimize these risks. Numerous risk factors impact this portfolio, including industry specific risks such as the economy, new technology, labor rates and cyclicality, as well as customer specific factors, such as cash flow, financial structure, operating controls and asset quality. Included in C&I loans are PPP loans of $26.3 million at September 30, 2021, which decreased $29.2 million from December 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans, C&I loans increased $9.2 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.

Commercial real estate loans consist of commercial mortgages, which generally are secured by nonresidential and multi-family residential properties, including hotel/motel and apartment lending. Commercial real estate loans are to many of the same customers and carry similar industry risks as C&I loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $16.7 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, $19.4 million of the commercial real estate loans were for commercial properties under construction.

In order to group loans with similar risk characteristics, the portfolio is further segmented by product types:

Commercial 1-4 Family loans decreased $0.9 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Commercial 1-4 Family loans consist of residential single-family, duplex, triplex, and fourplex rental properties and totaled $108.9 million as of September 30, 2021. Risk characteristics are driven by rental housing demand as well as economic and employment conditions. These properties exhibit greater risk than multi-family properties due to fewer income sources.
Hotel loans increased $2.9 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. The Hotel portfolio is comprised of all lodging establishments and totaled $297.3 million as of September 30, 2021. Risk characteristics relate to the demand for travel.
Multi-family loans decreased $0.4 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Multi-family consists of 5 or more family residential apartment lending. The portfolio totaled $215.3 million as of September 30, 2021. Risk characteristics are driven by rental housing demand as well as economic and employment conditions.
Non-residential commercial real estate includes properties such as retail, office, warehouse, storage, healthcare, entertainment, religious, and other nonresidential commercial properties. The non-residential product type is further segmented into owner- and non-owner occupied properties. Nonresidential non-owner occupied commercial real estate

Table of Contents
totaled $664.4 million at September 30, 2021 and increased $23.0 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Nonresidential owner-occupied commercial real estate totaled $205.6 million at September 30, 2021 and decreased $7.9 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Risk characteristics relate to levels of consumer spending and overall economic conditions.

Residential real estate loans decreased $81.1 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.  Residential real estate loans represent loans to consumers that are secured by a first lien on residential property. Residential real estate loans provide for the purchase or refinance of a residence and first-lien home equity loans allow consumers to borrow against the equity in their home. These loans primarily consist of single family 3 and 5 year adjustable rate mortgages with terms that amortize up to 30 years. The Company also offers fixed-rate residential real estate loans that are sold in the secondary market that are not included on the Company's balance sheet; the Company does not retain the servicing rights to these loans. Residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten to comply with Fannie Mae guidelines, while the home equity loans are underwritten with typically less documentation, but with lower loan-to-value ratios and shorter maturities.  At September 30, 2021, $19.1 million of the residential real estate loans were for properties under construction.

Home equity loans decreased $11.7 million during the first nine months of 2021.  The Company's home equity loans represent loans to consumers that are secured by a second (or junior) lien on a residential property. Home equity loans allow consumers to borrow against the equity in their home without paying off an existing first lien. These loans consist of home equity lines of credit ("HELOC") and amortized home equity loans that require monthly installment payments. Home equity loans are underwritten with less documentation, lower loan-to-value ratios and for shorter terms than residential mortgage loans. The amount of credit extended is directly related to the value of the real estate at the time the loan is made.

Consumer loans may be secured by automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles and other personal property or they may be unsecured. The Company monitors the risk associated with these types of loans by monitoring such factors as portfolio growth, lending policies and economic conditions. Underwriting standards are continually evaluated and modified based upon these factors. Consumer loans decreased $4.4 million during the first nine months of 2021. 

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" effective January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU No. 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new current expected credit losses model ("CECL") will apply to the allowance for credit losses, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, purchased financial assets with credit deterioration and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. As a result of adopting CECL, the Company increased its allowance for credit losses ("ACL") by $3.0 million and decreased retained earnings by $2.3 million on January 1, 2020. In addition, the adoption required the Company to "gross up" its previously purchased credit impaired loans through the allowance at January 1, 2020. As a result, the Company increased its ACL and loan balances as of January 1, 2020 by $2.7 million.

Management systematically monitors the loan portfolio and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis to provide for expected losses inherent in the portfolio. Management assesses the risk in each loan type based on historical trends, the general economic environment of its local markets, individual loan performance and other relevant factors. The Company's estimate of future economic conditions utilized in its provision estimate is primarily dependent on expected unemployment ranges over a two-year period. Beyond two years, a straight line reversion to historical average loss rates is applied over the life of the loan pool in the migration methodology. The vintage methodology applies future average loss rates based on net losses in historical periods where the unemployment rate was within the forecasted range. The provision for credit losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the expected economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of COVID-19, expected unemployment ranges significantly increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and resulted in an increase in the Company's provision for credit losses. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company partially recovered a portion of the provision for credit losses incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, due to adjustments to qualitative and other factors. As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ACL, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a provision for credit losses of $10.2 million for the comparable period in 2020.

Individual credits in excess of $1 million are selected at least annually for detailed loan reviews, which are utilized by management to assess the risk in the portfolio and the appropriateness of the allowance.

Table of Contents
Determination of the ACL is subjective in nature and requires management to periodically reassess the validity of its assumptions. Differences between actual losses and estimated losses are assessed such that management can timely modify its evaluation model to ensure that adequate provision has been made for risk in the total loan portfolio.
  
Based on the Company’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and in consideration of the known factors utilized in computing the allowance, management believes that the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2021 is adequate to provide for expected losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Future provisions for credit losses will be dependent upon trends in loan balances including the composition of the loan portfolio, changes in loan quality and loss experience trends, and recoveries of previously charged-off loans, among other factors.

Consumer 221  260  277 
   Total TDRs $ 21,320  $ 27,652  $ 26,142 

Regulatory guidance requires that loans be accounted for as collateral-dependent loans when borrowers have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debt has been discharged by the bankruptcy court and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt. The filing of bankruptcy is deemed to be evidence that the borrower is in financial difficulty and the discharge of debt by the bankruptcy court is deemed to be a concession granted to the borrower.

The Company's troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") related to its borrowers who had filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection make up 85% of the Company's total TDRs as of September 30, 2021. The average age of these TDRs was 13.8 years; the average current balance as a percentage of the original balance was 66.9%; and the average loan-to-value ratio was 61.9% as of September 30, 2021. Of the total 371 Chapter 7 related TDRs, 21 had an estimated loss exposure based on the current balance and the latest appraised value at September 30, 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March of 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory guidance was issued that clarified the accounting for loan modifications. Modifications of loan terms do not automatically result in a TDR. Short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extension of repayment terms, or other delays that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time of modification. In addition, modifications or deferrals pursuant to the CARES Act do not represent TDRs. However, these deferrals do not absolve the company from performing its normal risk rating and therefore a loan could be current and have a less than satisfactory risk rating.

Through September 30, 2021, the Company granted deferrals of approximately $143 million to its mortgage customers. These deferral arrangements ranged from 30 days to 90 days. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $3 million of these loans were still deferring, while approximately $140 million have resumed making their normal loan payment. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $4 million of these deferrals were previously and currently considered TDRs due to Chapter 7 bankruptcies.

Through September 30, 2021, the Company granted deferrals of approximately $479 million to its commercial customers. These deferral arrangements ranged from one month to six months. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $15 million of these loans related to hotel and lodging customers were still deferring, while approximately $464 million have resumed making their normal loan payment.

Non-interest expense 88.6  86.6  2.0  2.3 

Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income was $52.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $65.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported $0.8 million of unrealized fair value gains and gains on the sale of the Company's equity securities compared to $1.6 million unrealized fair value losses on the Company's equity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold the entirety of its Visa Inc. Class B common shares (86,605) in a cash transaction which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $17.8 million. Excluding these items, non-interest income increased from $48.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $51.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was largely attributable to an increase of $3.2 million, or 18.5%, in bankcard revenue.

Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expenses increased $2.0 million (2.3%), from $86.6 million in the first nine months of 2020 to $88.6 million in the first nine months of 2021 mainly due to increases in FDIC insurance expense ($0.7 million), telecommunications expense ($0.6 million), salaries and employee benefits ($0.5 million), and bankcard expenses ($0.4 million). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other expenses of $0.9 million.

Income Tax Expense: The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 20.7% compared to 20.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Non-interest expense 29.2  28.7  0.5  1.7  %

Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income was $17.9 million for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $17.0 million for the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company reported $0.1 million of unrealized fair value gains on the Company’s equity securities compared to $0.5 million of unrealized fair value gains on the Company’s equity securities in the third quarter of 2020. Exclusive of these gains, non-interest income increased from $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2020 to $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2021. This increase was largely attributable to higher bankcard revenues ($0.7 million, or 12.0%) and service charges ($0.4 million, or 6.5%). In addition, trust and investment management fee income increased $0.3 million and other income increased $0.2 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2020. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bank owned life insurance revenues due to lower death benefit proceeds ($0.3 million).

Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expenses increased $0.5 million (1.7%), from $28.7 million in the third quarter of 2020 to $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses of $0.3 million and telecommunication expenses of $0.2 million.

Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in current and future cash flows, fair values, earnings or capital due to adverse movements in interest rates and other factors, including foreign exchange rates, underlying credit risk and commodity prices. Because the Company has no significant foreign exchange activities and holds no commodities, interest rate risk represents the primary market risk factor affecting the Company’s balance sheet and net interest margin. Significant changes in interest rates by the Federal Reserve could result in similar changes in LIBOR interest rates, prime rates, and other benchmark interest rates that could affect the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, interest paid on the Company’s short-term and long-term borrowings, interest earned on the Company’s loan portfolio and interest paid on its deposit accounts.

The Company’s Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) has been delegated the responsibility of managing the Company’s interest-sensitive balance sheet accounts to maximize earnings while managing interest rate risk. ALCO, comprised of various members of executive and senior management, is also responsible for establishing policies to monitor and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and to manage the Company’s liquidity position. ALCO satisfies its responsibilities through quarterly meetings during which product pricing issues, liquidity measures, and interest sensitivity positions are monitored.

In order to measure and manage its interest rate risk, the Company uses an asset/liability management and simulation software model to periodically update the interest sensitivity position of the Company’s balance sheet. The model is also used to perform analyses that measure the impact on net interest income and capital as a result of various changes in the interest rate environment. Such analyses quantify the effects of various interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income.

The Company’s policy objective is to avoid negative fluctuations in net income or the economic value of equity of more than 15% within a 12-month period, assuming an immediate parallel increase of 300 points or decrease of 200 basis points. The Company measures the long-term risk associated with sustained increases and decreases in rates through analysis of the impact to changes in rates on the economic value of equity.

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the Company’s net income to various interest rate scenarios. The results of the sensitivity analyses presented below differ from the results used internally by ALCO in that, in the analyses below, interest rates are assumed to have an immediate and sustained parallel shock. The Company recognizes that rates are volatile, but rarely move with immediate and parallel effects. Internally, the Company considers a variety of interest rate scenarios that are deemed possible while considering the level of risk it is willing to assume in “worst-case” scenarios such as shown by the following:
Immediate Basis Point Change in Interest Rates Implied Federal Funds Rate Associated with Change in Interest Rates Estimated Increase (Decrease) in Net Income Over 12 Months
September 30, 2021    
+400  4.25  % +14.7  %
+300  3.25  +15.1 
+200  2.25  +13.2 
+100 1.25  +8.5 
December 31, 2020    
+400  4.25  % +22.1  %
+300  3.25  +21.5 
+200  2.25  +17.9 
+100  1.25  +12.0 
These estimates are highly dependent upon assumptions made by management, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding the manner in which interest-bearing demand deposit and savings deposit accounts reprice in different interest rate scenarios, changes in the composition of deposit balances, pricing behavior of competitors, prepayments of loans and deposits under alternative rate environments, and new business volumes and pricing. As a result, there can be no assurance
51

Table of Contents
that the estimates above will be achieved in the event that interest rates increase or decrease during the remainder of 2021 and beyond.  The estimates above do not necessarily imply that the Company will experience increases in net income if market interest rates rise.  The table above indicates how the Company’s net income behaves relative to an increase in rates compared to what would otherwise occur if rates remain stable.

Based upon the estimates above, the Company believes that its net income is positively correlated with increasing rates as compared to the level of net income the Company would expect if interest rates remain flat.

Liquidity

The Company evaluates the adequacy of liquidity at both the City Holding level and at the City National level. At the City Holding level, the principal source of cash is dividends from City National. Dividends paid by City National to City Holding are subject to certain legal and regulatory limitations. Generally, any dividends in amounts that exceed the earnings retained by City National in the current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years must be approved by regulatory authorities. At September 30, 2021, City National could pay dividends up to $62.5 million plus net profits for the remainder of 2021, as defined by statute, up to the dividend declaration date without prior regulatory permission.

Additionally, City Holding anticipates continuing the payment of dividends on its common stock, which are expected to approximate $35.2 million on an annualized basis over the next 12 months based on common shares outstanding at September 30, 2021.  However, dividends to shareholders can, if necessary, be suspended. In addition to these anticipated cash needs, City Holding has operating expenses and other contractual obligations, which are estimated to require $1.2 million of additional cash over the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2021, City Holding reported a cash balance of $14.6 million and management believes that City Holding’s available cash balance, together with cash dividends from City National, will be adequate to satisfy its funding and cash needs over the next 12 months.

City National manages its liquidity position in an effort to effectively and economically satisfy the funding needs of its customers and to accommodate the scheduled repayment of borrowings. Funds are available to City National from a number of sources, including depository relationships, sales and maturities within the investment securities portfolio, and borrowings from the FHLB and other financial institutions. As of September 30, 2021, City National’s assets are significantly funded by deposits and capital. Additionally, City National maintains borrowing facilities with the FHLB and other financial institutions that are accessed as necessary to fund operations and to provide contingency funding mechanisms. As of September 30, 2021, City National has the capacity to borrow $2.0 billion from the FHLB and other financial institutions under existing borrowing facilities. City National maintains a contingency funding plan, incorporating these borrowing facilities, to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or systemic financial industry crisis. Also, although it has no current intention to do so, City National could liquidate its unpledged securities, if necessary, to provide an additional funding source.  City National also segregates certain mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other investment securities in a separate subsidiary so that it can separately monitor the asset quality of these primarily mortgage-related assets, which could be used to raise cash through securitization transactions or obtain additional equity or debt financing if necessary.

The Company manages its asset and liability mix to balance its desire to maximize net interest income against its desire to minimize risks associated with capitalization, interest rate volatility, and liquidity. With respect to liquidity, the Company has chosen a conservative posture and believes that its liquidity position is strong. The Company’s net loan to asset ratio is 58.9% as of September 30, 2021 and deposit balances fund 82.1% of total assets. The Company has obligations to extend credit, but these obligations are primarily associated with existing home equity loans that have predictable borrowing patterns across the portfolio. The Company has investment security balances with carrying values that totaled $1.40 billion at September 30, 2021, and that exceeded the Company’s non-deposit sources of borrowing, which totaled $296.6 million.  Further, the Company’s deposit mix has a high proportion of transaction and savings accounts that fund 63.6% of the Company’s total assets.

As illustrated in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company generated $73.7 million of cash from operating activities during the first nine months of 2021, primarily from interest income received on loans and investments, net of interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings.  The Company used $123.2 million of cash in investing activities during the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to purchases of securities available-for-sale of $438.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by proceeds from maturities and calls of securities available-for-sale of $213.6 million and a net decrease in loans of $99.3 million. The Company generated $160.4 million of cash in financing activities during the first nine months of 2021, principally as a result of increases in non-interest-bearing deposits of $134.5 million and interest-bearing deposits of $100.9 million. These increases were partially offset by purchases of treasury stock of $48.3 million and dividends paid to the Company's common stockholders of $27.4 million.

Capital Resources

Shareholders' equity decreased $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the repurchase of 628,809 common shares at a weighted average price of $76.85 per share ($48.3 million) as part of a one million share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in March 2021, cash dividends declared of $27.2 million, and other comprehensive loss of $16.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $64.7 million and stock based related compensation expense of $2.4 million.

As of January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules require City Holding and City National to maintain minimum CET 1, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios, along with a capital conservation buffer, effectively resulting in new minimum capital ratios (which are shown in the table below). The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to City Holding Company or City National Bank.

As of September 30, 2021, management believes that City Holding Company and its banking subsidiary, City National, were “well capitalized.”  City Holding is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve, while City National is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Regulatory agencies can initiate certain mandatory actions if either City Holding or City National fails to meet the minimum capital requirements, as shown above.  As of September 30, 2021, management believes that City Holding and City National have met all capital adequacy requirements.

In November 2019, the federal banking regulators published final rules implementing a simplified measure of capital adequacy for certain banking organizations that have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets. Under the final rules, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a leverage ratio of greater than 9%,
54

Table of Contents
off–balance–sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets and trading assets plus trading liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets, are deemed “qualifying community banking organizations” and are eligible to opt into the “community bank leverage ratio framework.” A qualifying community banking organization that elects to use the community bank leverage ratio framework and that maintains a leverage ratio of greater than 9% is considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk–based and leverage capital requirements under the Basel III Rules and, if applicable, is considered to have met the “well capitalized” ratio requirements for purposes of its primary federal regulator’s prompt corrective action rules, discussed below. The final rules include a two–quarter grace period during which a qualifying community banking organization that temporarily fails to meet any of the qualifying criteria, including the greater–than–9% leverage capital ratio requirement, is generally still deemed “well capitalized” so long as the banking organization maintains a leverage capital ratio greater than 8%. A banking organization that fails to maintain a leverage capital ratio greater than 8% is not permitted to use the grace period and must comply with the generally applicable requirements under the Basel III Rules and file the appropriate regulatory reports. The Company and its subsidiary bank do not have any immediate plans to elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework but may make such an election in the future.

AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
CITY HOLDING COMPANY

I.The undersigned agrees to become a corporation by the name of CITY HOLDING COMPANY.

II.The address of the principal office of said corporation will be located at 25 Gatewater Road, Cross Lanes, WV 25313.

III.     The purpose or purposes for which this corporation is formed are as follows: To transact any or all lawful business for which corporations may be incorporated under the corporation laws of the State of West Virginia.

IV.     No shareholder or other person shall have any preemptive rights whatsoever.

V.    Provisions for the regulation of the internal affairs of the corporation are:

Each director and officer of this corporation, or former director or officer of this corporation, or any person who may have served at its request as a director or officer of another corporation, his heirs and personal representatives, shall be indemnified by this corporation against costs and expenses at any time reasonably incurred by him arising out of or in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil or criminal, against him or to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been such director or officer except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of a duty to the corporation. If in the judgement of the board of directors of this corporation a settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding so arising be deemed in the best interests of the corporation, and such director or officer shall be reimbursed for any amounts paid by him in entering such settlement and reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any and all other rights to which any director or other officer may be entitled as a matter of law.

VI.     The Corporation shall have the authority to issue 500,000 shares of preferred stock of a par value of $25 per share and 50,000,000 shares of common stock of a par value of $2.50 per share.

Preferred Stock. Authority is expressly vested in the Board of Directors to fix and determine the relative rights, preferences and limitations, within the limits set forth in Section 31-1-79 of the West Virginia Code 1966, as amended, or any successor statute, of one or more series within the class of preferred stock and to provide for the issuance thereof. Each series shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. All shares of preferred stock shall be identical except as to the relative rights, preferences and limitations of any series fixed and determined by the Board of Directors pursuant hereto.




Prior to the issuance of any shares of a series of preferred stock, (i) the Board of Directors shall establish such series by adopting a resolution, and by filling with the Secretary of State a statement setting forth the designation and number of shares of the series and the relative rights and preferences thereof, and (ii) the Secretary of State shall have accepted such statement for filing.

Each series of preferred stock shall rank on a parity as to dividends and assets with all other series according to the respective dividend rates and amounts distributable upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company fixed for each such series and without preference or priority of any series over any other series; but all shares of preferred stock shall be preferred over shares of common stock as to both dividends and amounts distributable upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company.

Common Stock. The holders of common stock shall, to the exclusion of the holders of any other class of stock of the Company, have the sole and full power to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes without limitation except only (i) as otherwise provided in the certificate of amendment for a particular series of preferred stock, and (ii) as otherwise expressly provided by the then existing statutes of the State of West Virginia. The holders of common stock shall have one vote for each share of common stock held by them.

Subject to the provisions of the certificate of amendment for series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock shall be entitled to receive dividends if, when and as declared by the board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and to the net assets remaining after payment of all liabilities upon voluntary and involuntary liquidation of the Company.

Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A. The Corporation has designated 100,000 shares of the authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, par value $25, as Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred, Series A (hereinafter referred to as “Series A Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the respect in which the shares of such series may vary from shares of any and all other series of Preferred Stock, are as follows:

(a) Dividends and Distributions.

(1) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in preference to the holders of Common Stock and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, dividends payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $100 or (b) subject to the



provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after June 13, 2001 (the “Rights Dividend Declaration Date”), (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(2) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (1) above immediately after it declares a divided or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend at the rate of $100 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(3) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

(b) Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:



(1) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(2) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Articles of Incorporation or under applicable law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one voting group on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

(3) (i) If at any time dividends on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (a “default period”) that shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly dividend period on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each default period, all holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock together with any other series of Preferred Stock then entitled to such a vote under the terms of the Articles of Incorporation, voting as a separate voting group, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(ii) During any default period, such voting right of the holders of Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Subsection (b)(3) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the right of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock, if any, to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of Directors shall be exercised unless the holders of ten percent (10%) in number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting at which the holders of Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting right initially during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting as a separate voting group, to elect Directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may then exist up to two (2) Directors, or if such right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two (2) Directors. If the number which may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the required number, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number. After the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors in any default period and during the continuance of such period, the number of Directors shall not be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders



of Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock.

(iii) Unless the holders of Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of any and all series, may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the President, a Vice-President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph (b)(3)(iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 10 days and not later than 60 days after such order or request. In the event such meeting is not called within 60 days after such order or request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (b)(3)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders.

(iv) In any default period, the holders of Common Stock, and other classes of stock of the Corporation if applicable, shall continue to be entitled to elect the whole number of Directors until the holders of Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two (2) Directors voting as a separate voting group, after the exercise of which right (x) the Directors so elected by the holders of Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of Directors may (except as provided in paragraph (b)(3)(ii) be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the voting group which elected the Director whose office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph (b)(3)(iv) to Directors elected by a particular voting group shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence.

(v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Preferred Stock, as a separate voting group, to elect Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any Directors elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, as a separate voting group, shall terminate, and (z) the number of Directors shall be such number as may be provided for in, or pursuant to, the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 5(b)(3)(ii) (such number being subject, however, to change thereafter in any manner provided by law or in the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors affected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors, even though less than a quorum.

(4) Except as set forth herein or as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and



their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

(c) Certain Restrictions.

(1) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Subsection (a) are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

(i) declare or pay or set apart for payment any dividends (other than dividends payable in shares of any class or classes of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock) or make any other distributions on, any class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock and shall not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, whether voluntarily, for a sinking fund, or otherwise any shares of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred stock, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of stock of any such junior class in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds from the concurrent sale of, other shares of stock of any such junior class;

(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;

(iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.




(2) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (1) of Subsection (c), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

(d) Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

(e) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(1) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $1,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 1,000 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph 3 below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment Number”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1 with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(2) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of all such shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

(3) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the



outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(f) Consolidation, Merger, Share Exchange, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, share exchange, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a small number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(g) Redemption. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Board of Directors as a whole, but not in part, at any time, or from time to time, at a cash price per share equal to (i) 100% of the product of the Adjustment Number times the Average Market Value (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock, plus (ii) all dividends which on the redemption date have accrued on the shares to be redeemed and have not been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, without interest. The “Average Market Value” is the average of the closing sale prices of a share of the Common Stock during the 30-day period immediately preceding the date before the redemption date on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange Listed Stocks, or, if such stock is not quoted on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed on such exchange, on the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on which such stock is listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid quotations with respect to a share of Common Stock during such 30-day period on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or any system then in use, or if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of a share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

(h) Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.



(i) Amendment. Except as permitted by the West Virginia Corporation Act, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation shall not be further amended in any manner that would adversely affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(j) Fractional Shares. Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of one one-thousandth of a share (and integral multiples thereof) which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holders’ fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

VII.    The full name and address of the incorporator is:

3601 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E.

Charleston, West Virginia, 25304

VIII.    The existence of this corporation is to be perpetual.

IX.    The full name and address of the appointed person to which notice or process may be sent is: Victoria A. Faw, 25 Gatewater Road, Cross Lanes, West Virginia, 25313.
X.
1.Number, Election & Term of Directors. The number of directors shall be set forth in the Bylaws, but in the absence of such a provision in the Bylaws, the number of directors of the corporation shall be 6. Commencing with the 1986 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible. At the 1986 annual meeting of stockholders, directors of the first class (Class I) shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the 1987 annual meeting of stockholders; directors of the second class (Class II) shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the 1988 annual meeting of stockholders; and directors of the third class (Class III) shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the 1989 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders after 1986, the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be indemnified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third preceding annual meeting of stockholders. When the number of directors has changed, any newly-created directorships or any decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes by the Board of Directors as to make all classes as nearly equal as possible.

2.     Newly-Created Directorships and Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors through less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and



directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term for the class to which they have been elected expires. No decrease in number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

3.     Removal of Directors. Any director may be removed, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock.

4.     Tie Votes. In the event that a vote which is duly brought before the Board of Directors at a meeting at which a quorum is present results in a tie vote, the vote of the Chairman of the Board of the Company or his duly appointed delegate (who shall also be a director) shall be counted twice.

5.     Waiver of Liability. A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the West Virginia Business Corporation Act or the laws of the United States or the State of West Virginia, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provision by the stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right of protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

6.     Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast in the election of directors, for which purpose broker non-votes and abstentions shall not be counted; provided, however, that if there is an Uncontested Election (hereinafter defined), and a nominee (including a currently serving director nominated for reelection) does not receive a Majority Vote for Election (hereinafter defined), then such nominee shall immediately after the certification of the shareholder vote relating to such election, submit his or her resignation, subject to acceptance or declination by the Board of Directors. Such resignation shall be effective upon the first to occur of: (i) acceptance by the Board of Directors or (ii) 90 days after the date of certification of the shareholder vote relating to the election. An Uncontested Election is defined as an election in which the number of director candidates does not exceed the number of directors to be elected. A Majority Vote for Election is defined as more shareholder votes being cast for such nominee's election than against such nominee's election, counting votes against such nominee's election or for which voting authority for such nominee's election is expressly withheld, but not including abstentions or broker non-votes. No resignation shall be required to be submitted in the event a nominee does not receive a Majority Vote for Election in an election which is not an Uncontested Election. The Board of Directors shall establish a policy and procedures relating to the submission, and the acceptance or declination, of such resignations.
