ITEM 1.     BUSINESS
Background
The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by Item 1A. Risk Factors and the section captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “TCBI” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in November 1996 and commenced banking operations in December 1998. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank (the “Bank”). The Company is a registered bank holding company and has elected to be a financial holding company.
The Bank is headquartered in Dallas, with primary banking offices in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, the five largest metropolitan areas of Texas. Substantially all of our business activities are conducted through the Bank. We have focused on organic growth, maintenance of credit quality and recruiting and retaining experienced bankers with strong personal and professional relationships in their communities.
We serve the needs of commercial businesses and professionals and entrepreneurs located in Texas as well as operate several lines of business serving a regional or national clientele of commercial borrowers. We are primarily a secured lender, with the majority of our loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, being made to businesses headquartered or with operations in Texas. Our national lines of business provide specialized lending products to businesses throughout the United States.
In May 2021, the Bank applied to the Texas Department of Banking to convert from a national association to a Texas state-chartered bank. The application was approved during the third quarter and the conversion was effective at open of business on September 15, 2021. Effective as of the date of conversion, the Texas Department of Banking is the Bank’s primary regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is the Bank’s primary federal regulator, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) will continue to be the Company’s primary federal regulator.
In December 2021, the Company received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for registration and FINRA membership of a broker-dealer to conduct securities transactions and business with the investing public in the United States. In connection with this approval, TCBI Securities, Inc., (“TCBI Securities”) a wholly owned non-bank subsidiary of the Bank, was formed to provide investment banking products and services to our customers. TCBI Securities is subject to regulation by the SEC, FINRA and state securities regulators.
Growth History
We have grown substantially in both size and profitability since our formation. In 2020, we continued to experience growth in most of our key areas of business, however we did experience a decline in certain loan portfolios as we strategically reduced certain concentrations. In 2021, we continued this strategic reduction of certain portfolios, transitioned our Mortgage Correspondent Aggregation (“MCA”) program to a third party, and embarked on an enterprise-wide transformation to support our new long-term strategic plan, as was unveiled on September 1, 2021, all of which resulted in the continued contraction of certain areas of our balance sheet. The table below sets forth data regarding our key areas of business for the past five years.

The Texas Market
Our business is concentrated in Texas. The Texas market for banking services is highly competitive. We compete with national, regional and local bank holding companies and commercial banks. Texas’ largest banking organizations are headquartered outside of Texas and are controlled by out-of-state organizations. We also compete with other providers of financial services, such as non-bank lenders, commercial finance and leasing companies, consumer finance companies, financial technology, or fintech, companies, securities firms, insurance companies, full-service brokerage firms and discount brokerage firms, credit unions and savings and loan associations. We believe that many commercial businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs are interested in banking with a company headquartered in, and with decision-making authority based in, Texas and with established Texas bankers who have the expertise to act as trusted advisors to customers with regard to their banking needs.
Our banking centers in our target markets are served by experienced bankers with lending expertise in the specific industries found in their market areas and established community ties. We believe our Bank can offer customers more responsive and personalized service than our competitors. By providing effective service to these customers, we believe we will be able to establish long-term relationships and provide multiple products to our customers, thereby enhancing our profitability.
National Lines of Business
While the Texas market continues to be central to the growth and success of our company, we have developed several lines of business that offer specialized loan and deposit products to businesses and individuals regionally and throughout the nation, including mortgage finance, homebuilder finance, insurance premium finance, lender finance, asset-based lending, and Bask Bank, an online banking division that offers depositors American Airlines AAdvantage® miles instead of interest. We believe these business lines help us mitigate our geographic concentration risk in Texas. We continue to seek opportunities to develop additional lines of business that leverage our capabilities and are consistent with our business strategy.
Business Strategy
Drawing on the business and community ties of our management and their banking experience, our strategy has been to grow an independent bank that has focused primarily on commercial businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs in each of the five major metropolitan markets of Texas as well as our national lines of business. To achieve this, we employ the following strategies:
offering a differentiated banking experience to commercial businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs who value a broad relationship with our Bank;
growing our loan and deposit base in our existing markets by hiring additional experienced bankers in our different lines of business;
developing lines of business that leverage our strengths and complement our existing lines of business;
continuing our emphasis on credit policy to maintain credit quality consistent with long-term objectives;
leveraging our existing infrastructure with improvements in technology and processes to gain efficiencies to support a larger volume of business;
maintaining effective internal approval processes for capital and operating expenditures;
continuing our extensive use of outsourcing to provide cost-effective and more efficient operational support and service levels consistent with large-bank operations; and
extending our reach within our target markets and lines of business through service innovation and service excellence.

On September 1, 2021, we announced key updates to our long-term strategy. This new long-term strategy includes the following key steps that we are taking to build a technology-enabled operating model:
organizing around client delivery and investing in technology;
expanding products and services; and
enhancing accountability and maintaining financial resilience.
Products and Services
We offer a variety of loan, deposit account and other financial products and services to our customers.
Business Customers.    We offer a full range of products and services oriented to the needs of our business customers, including:
commercial loans for general corporate purposes, including financing for working capital, organic growth, acquisitions and financing for business insurance premiums;
real estate term and construction loans;
mortgage warehouse lending;
equipment finance and leasing;
treasury management services, including online banking and debit and credit card services;
investment banking services; and
letters of credit.
Individual Customers.    We also provide complete banking services for our individual customers, including:
personal wealth management and trust services;
certificates of deposit (“CDs”) and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”);
interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing checking accounts;
traditional money market and savings accounts;
loans, both secured and unsecured;
online and mobile banking;
investment banking services; and
Bask Bank, an online banking division offering depositors American Airlines AAdvantage® miles instead of interest.
Lending Activities
We target our lending to commercial businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs that meet our credit standards. The credit standards are set by our standing Credit Policy Committee with the assistance of our Bank’s Chief Credit Officer, who is charged with ensuring that credit standards are met by loans in our portfolio. Our Credit Policy Committee is comprised of senior Bank officers, including our Bank's Chief Risk Officer, our Bank’s Chief Credit Officer and other Bank officers as deemed appropriate, and is subject to oversight by the Risk Committee of the Company's board of directors. We believe we maintain an appropriately diversified loan portfolio. Credit policies and underwriting guidelines are tailored to address the unique risks associated with each industry represented in the portfolio.
Our credit standards for commercial borrowers are based on numerous criteria with respect to the borrower, including historical and projected financial information, strength of management, acceptable collateral and associated advance rates, and market conditions and trends in the borrower’s industry. In addition, prospective loans are analyzed based on current industry concentrations in our loan portfolio to prevent an unacceptable concentration of loans in any particular industry. We believe our credit standards are consistent with achieving our business objectives in the markets we serve and are an important part of our risk mitigation strategy. We believe that our Bank is differentiated from its competitors by its focus on and targeted marketing to our core customers and by its ability to tailor its products to the individual needs of our customers.
We generally extend variable rate loans in which the interest rate fluctuates with a specified reference rate and frequently provide for a minimum floor rate. Our use of variable rate loans is designed to protect us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations since the rates of interest earned will automatically reflect such fluctuations. In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would no longer compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) after 2021. The administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023 and to cease publishing other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The U.S. federal banking agencies issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. We have significant exposure to financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR to establish their interest rate and/or value, some of which mature after December 31, 2021. We have established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from
5


Table of Contents
throughout the Company, to monitor developments relating to LIBOR changes and to guide the Bank’s response. This team is continuing to work to ensure that our technology systems are prepared for the transition, our loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders are apprised of the transition. Based on our transition progress to date, we have ceased originating LIBOR-based products and began originating Bloomberg Short Term Yield Index based loans in December 2021. We are prepared with other alternative benchmarks, as necessary, to support the transition from LIBOR. Over the next 18 months, we will continue to transition all of our remaining LIBOR-based products to an alternative benchmark. We will also continue to evaluate the transition process and align our trajectory with regulatory guidelines regarding the cessation of LIBOR as well as monitor new developments for transitioning to alternative reference rates.
Our mortgage finance business encounters seasonal demands for credit, surges in consumer demand driven by changes in interest rates and month-end “spikes” of residential mortgage closings.
Deposit Products
We offer a variety of deposit products and services to our customers with terms, including interest rates, which are competitive with other banks. Our business deposit products include commercial checking accounts, lockbox accounts, cash concentration accounts and other treasury management services, including online banking. Our treasury management online system offers information services, wire transfer initiation, ACH initiation, account transfer and service integration. Our consumer deposit products include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. We also allow our consumer deposit customers to access their accounts, transfer funds, pay bills and perform other account functions through online and mobile banking.
Wealth Management and Trust
Our wealth management and trust services include wealth strategy, financial planning, investment management, personal trust and estate services, custodial services, retirement accounts and related services. Our investment management professionals work with our clients to define objectives, goals and strategies for their investment portfolios. We assist the customer with the selection of an investment manager and work with the client to tailor the investment program accordingly. We also offer retirement products such as individual retirement accounts and administrative services for retirement vehicles such as pension and profit sharing plans. Our wealth management and trust services are primarily focused on serving the needs of our banking clients and depend on close cooperation and support between our banking relationship managers and our investment management professionals.
Human Capital
Our goal is to attract, develop, retain and plan for succession of key talent and executives to achieve strategic objectives. We are continually investing in our workforce to further emphasize diversity and inclusion and to foster our employees' growth and career development.
As part of our commitment to address diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) we have a DEI Council, co-chaired by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer and made up of colleagues from departments across our organization, that aims to steer our DEI strategies. The DEI Council is working to develop DEI goals and metrics that will be integrated into our business strategy. Through routine strategy sessions and planning, the DEI Council continues to explore the evolution of DEI at the Company.
Among our highest priorities in 2021 was the safety, well-being and stability of our employees during the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic. We focused on providing employee support to address work, life, financial and health-related matters. This included programs and benefits to ease work-from-home challenges and address the medical and other support needs of those directly impacted by COVID-19. We took significant measures to provide employees with a sense of safety, security, and certainty in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, by establishing social distancing and hygiene and environmental safety protocols for on-site workers at our banking centers and offices. We also provided free COVID-19 testing for employees enrolled in our medical coverage and developed tracking and reporting solutions to monitor employee circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We offer a comprehensive benefits program to our employees and design our compensation programs to attract, retain and motivate employees, as well as to align with Company performance. During 2021, we enhanced our performance management process, and implemented a more defined process for succession planning deeper into the organization. We also enhanced parental bonding leave benefits.
We also made enhancements to our training and development program during 2021 which included the creation and launch of training targeted for people managers, packaging of current online training courses to align with career paths, the launch of an analyst program that included several months of training in preparation to transition to frontline banking positions and the creation of technical training focused on bank employees.

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2021, we had 1,751 employees, nearly all of whom are full time and of which approximately 50% were female and 40% were minorities. Due to our significant Texas-based operations and branch-lite network, the majority of our employees are based in Texas.
None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Regulation and Supervision
General.    We and our Bank are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations that impose specific requirements on us and provide regulatory oversight of virtually all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations generally are intended for the protection of the Bank's depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC and the stability of the U.S. banking system as a whole, rather than for the protection of our stockholders and creditors. Complying with the regulations discussed below did not have and is not expected to have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position. We do not have any environmental control facilities, and we did not spend any capital expenditures on such facilities during 2021.
The following discussion summarizes certain laws, regulations and policies to which we and our Bank are subject. It does not address all applicable laws, regulations and policies that affect us currently or might affect us in the future. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of the laws, regulations and policies described.
The Company’s activities are governed by the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). The Company is subject to primary regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve pursuant to the BHCA. We file quarterly reports and other information with the Federal Reserve. As a public company, we also file reports with the SEC and are subject to its regulatory authority, as well as the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to our securities, financial reporting and certain governance matters. Because our securities are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), we are subject to Nasdaq's rules for listed companies, including rules relating to corporate governance.
Our Bank is organized as a Texas state-chartered bank, and is subject to primary regulation, supervision and examination by the Texas Department of Banking and the FDIC. Our Bank’s activities are also subject to regulation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) and by certain other federal and state agencies. Our Bank files quarterly reports of condition and income with the FDIC, which provides insurance for certain of our Bank’s deposits.
Our Bank has a wholly owned non-bank subsidiary, TCBI Securities, that is a registered broker-dealer with the SEC and a member of FINRA. TCBI Securities is subject to a number of regulatory bodies, including the SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators.
Bank Holding Company Regulation.    The BHCA limits our business to banking, managing or controlling banks and other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related to banking. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, as amended (the “GLB Act”), allows bank holding companies meeting certain management, capital and Community Reinvestment Act standards to elect to be treated as a financial holding company that may offer customers a more comprehensive array of financial products and services. We have elected to register with the Federal Reserve as a financial holding company. This authorizes us to engage in any activity that is either (i) financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity, as determined by the Federal Reserve, or (ii) complementary to a financial activity, so long as the activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of our Bank or the financial system generally, as determined by the Federal Reserve. Examples of non-banking activities that are financial in nature include securities underwriting and dealing, insurance underwriting, providing investment and financial advice, leasing personal property and making merchant banking investments.
In order for us to undertake certain new activities permitted by the BHCA, we and our Bank must be considered “well capitalized” (as defined below) and well managed, our Bank must have received a rating of at least “satisfactory” in its most recent examination under the Community Reinvestment Act and we must notify the Federal Reserve within 30 days of engaging in the new activity.
Under Federal Reserve regulations, now largely authorized by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we are expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to our Bank and commit resources to its support. Such support may be required even at times when a holding company may not be in a financial position, or otherwise inclined, to provide such resources. We also could in certain circumstances be required to guarantee the capital restoration plan of our Bank if it became undercapitalized.
It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that bank holding companies may maintain their existing rate of cash dividends on common stock only out of net income available over the past year and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future capital needs, asset quality and financial condition. As a general matter, the Federal Reserve expects a bank holding company’s board of directors to inform it and to eliminate, defer or significantly reduce the bank holding company’s dividends if (i) the bank holding company’s net income available to stockholders for the past four
7


Table of Contents
quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends, (ii) the bank holding company’s prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition or (iii) the bank holding company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. The policy provides that bank holding companies may not pay cash dividends in an amount that would undermine the holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiary.
With certain limited exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended (the “CIBC Act”), together with regulations promulgated thereunder, prohibit a person or company or a group of persons deemed to be an association or “acting in concert” from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 10% (5% if the acquirer is a bank holding company) of any class of our voting stock or obtaining the ability to control in any manner the election of a majority of our directors or otherwise direct the management or policies of our company without prior notice or application to and the approval of the Federal Reserve.
If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory authorities, a depository institution or holding company is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which could include the payment of dividends or repurchase or redemptions of securities), such authority may require, generally after notice and hearing, that such institution or holding company cease and desist such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s or holding company’s capital base to an inadequate level would be such an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Declaring or paying dividends that exceed its earnings for the relevant period could result in supervisory findings by the Federal Reserve. Federal Reserve regulations require that the Company, under certain circumstances, provide prior notice to or obtain prior approval for redemptions or repurchases of its equity securities. Under such regulations, the Federal Reserve may disapprove such actions if the Federal Reserve finds that they would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or violate any law or Federal Reserve order.
Regulation of Our Bank by the Texas Department of Banking and the FDIC. Pursuant to applicable Texas and federal law, Texas state-chartered banks are permitted to engage in any activity permissible for national banks, including non-banking activities that are permissible for national banks. In addition, Texas state-chartered banks may engage in financial activities or activities incidental or complementary to a financial activity with the prior approval of the Commission.
Our Bank is subject to continuous regulation, supervision and examination by the Texas Department of Banking and the FDIC. Our regulators monitor all areas of our Bank’s operations, including security devices and procedures, adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves, accounting treatment and impact on capital determinations, loans, investments, borrowings, deposits, liquidity, mergers, issuances of securities, payment of dividends, interest rate risk management, establishment of branches, corporate reorganizations, maintenance of books and records, and adequacy of staff training to carry on safe and sound lending and deposit gathering practices. Among other things, our Bank is required by its regulators to maintain specified capital ratios, file quarterly reports of its financial condition and results of operations and to obtain an annual audit of its financial statements.
Regulation of Our Bank by the CFPB. The CFPB has regulation, supervision and examination authority over our Bank with respect to substantially all federal statutes and regulations protecting the interests of consumers of financial services, including but not limited to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and their respective related regulations. Penalties for violating these laws and regulations could subject our Bank to lawsuits and administrative penalties, including civil monetary penalties, payments to affected consumers and orders to halt or materially change our consumer banking activities. The CFPB has broad authority to pursue enforcement actions, including investigations, civil actions and cease and desist proceedings, and can refer civil and criminal findings to the Department of Justice for prosecution. The Bank is also subject to other federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations that, among other things, prohibit unfair, deceptive and abusive, corrupt or fraudulent business practices, untrue or misleading advertising and unfair competition.
Capital Adequacy Requirements.    Federal banking regulators adopted a system using certain risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies that is based upon the 1988 capital accord of the Bank for International Settlements’ Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”), a committee of central banks and bank regulators from the major industrialized countries that coordinates international standards for bank regulation. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets and off-balance-sheet activities such as letters of credit are assigned risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit or other risks associated with the asset. Off-balance-sheet activities are assigned a credit conversion factor based on the perceived likelihood that they will become on-balance-sheet assets. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a “risk weighted” asset base, which is then measured against various forms of capital to produce capital ratios.
In 2010, the Basel Committee released a set of international recommendations for strengthening the regulation, supervision and risk management of banking organizations, known as Basel III. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules for the adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework (the “Basel III Capital Rules”). The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for us on January 1, 2015, with certain transition provisions phasing in over a period that ended on January 1, 2019.

Table of Contents
The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) establishes the capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specifies that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting stated requirements, (iii) requires that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) defines the scope of the deductions/adjustments to the capital measures. The Basel III Capital Rules also specify a capital measure for Tier 2 capital, which includes subordinated debt and a portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses, in each case, subject to certain regulatory requirements. Our preferred stock constitutes Additional Tier 1 capital and our subordinated notes constitute Tier 2 capital.
The Basel III Capital Rules set the Tier 1 risk-based capital requirement and the total risk-based capital requirement to a minimum of 6.0% and 8.0%, respectively, each plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed entirely of CET1, producing targeted ratios of 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, which were fully phased-in as of January 1, 2019 and for subsequent years. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The leverage ratio requirement under the Basel III Capital Rules, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets, is 4.0%. Under the rules now in effect, the Company and the Bank must maintain CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios that are equal to or greater than 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, and a leverage ratio equal to or greater than 5.0%.
We have met the capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis since we commenced filing of the applicable reports with our federal banking regulators. As of December 31, 2021 our Bank's CET1 ratio was 11.30% and its total risk-based capital ratio was 13.42% and, as a result, it is currently classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations, which is discussed in more detail below.
Because we had less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, we are allowed to continue to classify our trust preferred securities, all of which were issued prior to May 19, 2010, as Tier 1 capital. As a non-advanced approaches banking organization, we have elected to exclude the effects of certain AOCI items included in stockholders’ equity for the determination of regulatory capital and capital ratios under the Basel III Capital Rules.
In December 2017, the Basel Committee published the last version of the Basel III regulatory reforms, which are commonly referred to as “Basel IV.” The Basel IV standards revised, among other things the Basel Committee’s standardized approach for credit risk and provide a new standardized approach for operational risk capital. Under the current U.S. capital rules, operational risk capital requirements and a capital floor apply only to banking organizations that are subject to the advanced approaches framework. The impact of the Basel IV standards on us and our Bank will depend on the manner in which it is implemented by the federal banking regulators.
In February 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule (the “2019 CECL Rule”) that revised certain capital regulations to account for changes to credit loss accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The 2019 CECL Rule included a transition option that allows banking organizations to phase in, over a three-year period, the day-one adverse effects of adopting the new accounting standard related to the measurement of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on their regulatory capital ratios (three-year transition option). In March 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that maintains the three-year transition option of the 2019 CECL Rule and also provides banking organizations that were required under GAAP to implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years an estimate of the effect of CECL on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). We adopted CECL on January 1, 2020, and have elected to utilize the five-year transition option.
Regulators may change capital and liquidity requirements, including previous interpretations of practices related to risk weights, which could require an increase to the allocation of capital to assets held by our Bank. Regulators could also require us to make retroactive adjustments to financial statements to reflect such changes. A regulatory capital ratio or category may not constitute an accurate representation of a financial institution’s overall financial condition or prospects. Our regulatory capital status is addressed in more detail under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 13 - Regulatory Restrictions in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the “FDICIA”) established a system of prompt corrective action regulations and policies to resolve the problems of undercapitalized insured depository institutions. Under this system, insured depository institutions are ranked in one of five capital categories as described below. Regulators are required to take mandatory supervisory actions and are authorized to take other discretionary actions of increasing severity with respect to insured depository institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The five capital categories for insured depository institutions under the prompt corrective action regulations consist of:
Well capitalized - equals or exceeds a 10% total risk-based capital ratio, 8% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, 6.5% CET1 capital ratio and 5% leverage ratio and is not subject to any written agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain a specific level for any capital measure;
9


Table of Contents
Adequately capitalized - equals or exceeds an 8% total risk-based capital ratio, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, 4.5% CET1 capital ratio and 4% leverage ratio;
Undercapitalized - total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, or a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of less than 6%, a CET1 capital ratio of less than 4.5% or a leverage ratio of less than 4%;
Significantly undercapitalized - total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, a CET1 capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio of less than 3%; and
Critically undercapitalized - a ratio of tangible equity to total assets equal to or less than 2%.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide that an institution may be downgraded to the next lower category if its regulator determines, after notice and opportunity for hearing or response, that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has received and not corrected a less-than-satisfactory rating for any of the categories of asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity in its most recent examination.
Federal bank regulatory agencies are required to implement arrangements for prompt corrective action for institutions failing to meet minimum requirements to be at least adequately capitalized. FDICIA imposes an increasingly stringent array of restrictions, requirements and prohibitions as an organization’s capital levels deteriorate. A bank rated “adequately capitalized” or below may not accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits unless it receives a waiver from the FDIC. A “significantly undercapitalized” institution is subject to mandated capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions with affiliates, removal of management and other restrictions. The FDIC has only very limited discretion in dealing with a “critically undercapitalized” institution and generally must appoint a receiver or conservator if the capital deficiency is not corrected promptly.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDIA”), “critically undercapitalized” banks may not, beginning 60 days after becoming critically undercapitalized, make any payment of principal or interest on their subordinated debt (subject to certain limited exceptions). In addition, under Section 18(i) of the FDIA, banks are required to obtain the advance consent of the FDIC to retire any part of their subordinated notes. Under the FDIA, a bank may not pay interest on its subordinated notes if such interest is required to be paid only out of net profits, or distribute any of its capital assets, while it remains in default on any assessment due to the FDIC.
In December 2020, the FDIC issued a final rule that is designed to bring the brokered deposits regulations in line with modern deposit taking methods and generally reduces the scope of deposits that would be classified as brokered, which most directly affects banks rated as “adequately capitalized” or “undercapitalized”. The final rule became effective on April 1, 2021, with an extended compliance date of January 1, 2022. Compliance with the final rule did not have an impact to our classification of brokered deposits.
Federal bank regulators may set capital requirements for a particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal banking guidelines provide that banking organizations experiencing significant growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Concentration of credit risks, interest rate risk (imbalances in rates, maturities or sensitivities) and risks arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage these risks, are important factors taken into account by regulatory agencies in assessing an organization’s overall capital adequacy.
The FDIC and the Federal Reserve also use a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of banking organizations. The leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its average total consolidated assets. Banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, unless a different minimum is specified by an appropriate regulatory authority. In order to be considered well capitalized the leverage ratio must be at least 5.0%.
As of December 31, 2021, our Bank’s leverage ratio was 8.51% and is currently classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations.
The risk-based and leverage capital ratios established by federal banking regulators are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking organizations that meet specified criteria, assuming that they otherwise have received the highest regulatory ratings in their most recent examinations. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate with capital positions in excess of the minimum ratios. Regulators can, from time to time, change their policies or interpretations of banking practices to require changes in risk weights assigned to our Bank's assets or changes in the factors considered in order to evaluate capital adequacy, which may require our Bank to obtain additional capital to support existing asset levels or future growth or reduce asset balances in order to meet minimum acceptable capital ratios.

Liquidity Requirements.    U.S. capital rules implementing the Basel III standards also include two quantitative liquidity tests for certain large banking organizations. One of the liquidity tests, referred to as the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”), is designed to ensure that a banking entity maintains an adequate level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets equal to the entity’s expected net cash outflow for a 30-day time horizon (or, if greater, 25% of its expected total cash outflow) under an acute liquidity stress scenario.
The other test, referred to as the net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”), is designed to promote more medium- and long-term funding of the assets and activities of banking entities over a one-year time horizon. These requirements encourage the covered banking entities to increase their holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and other sovereign debt as a component of assets and to increase the use of long-term debt as a funding source.
While the LCR and NSFR tests are not currently applicable to us or our Bank, other relevant measures of liquidity are monitored by management and are reported to our board of directors. Regulators may change capital and liquidity requirements, including previous interpretations of practices related to risk weights, which could require an increase in liquid assets or in the necessary capital to support the assets held by our Bank. Regulators could also require us to make retroactive adjustments to financial statements and reported capital ratios to reflect such changes.
Stress Testing.    Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and regulations published by the federal bank regulatory agencies, we were required to conduct an annual “stress test” of capital and consolidated earnings and losses under a base case and two severely adverse stress scenarios provided by federal bank regulatory agencies from the years 2016 to 2018. In response to this requirement we developed dedicated staffing, economic models, policies and procedures to implement stress testing on an annual basis, the results of which were furnished to regulators and published on our website, as well as conducting stress tests for internal use based upon economic scenarios we developed. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”), which amended portions of the Dodd-Frank Act, was enacted in 2018 and subsequently implemented by the federal banking regulators. The Regulatory Relief Act, terminated our stress testing requirements. However, we have continued to perform certain stress tests internally and have incorporated the economic models and information developed through our stress testing program into our risk management and business, capital and liquidity planning activities, which are subject to continuing regulatory oversight.
Privacy and Data Security.    The financial privacy provisions of the GLB Act generally prohibit financial institutions, including our Bank, from disclosing non-public personal financial information about customers to non-affiliated third parties unless customers have the opportunity to “opt out” of the disclosure and have not elected to do so. Our Bank is required to comply with state laws regarding consumer privacy if they are more protective than the GLB Act.
In October 2016, the federal banking regulators jointly issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on enhanced cyber risk management standards that are intended to increase the operational resilience of large and interconnected entities under their supervision. If established, the enhanced cyber risk management standards would be designed to help reduce the potential impact of a cyber-attack or other cyber-related failure on the financial system. The advance notice of proposed rulemaking addresses five categories of cyber standards: (1) cyber risk governance; (2) cyber risk management; (3) internal dependency management; (4) external dependency management; and (5) incident response, cyber resilience and situational awareness. In November 2021, the federal banking agencies approved a final rule that, among other things, would require banking organizations to notify their primary federal regulator within 36 hours of becoming aware of a “computer-security incident” that rises to the level of a “notification incident.”
In February 2018, the SEC published interpretive guidance to assist public companies in preparing disclosures about cybersecurity risks and incidents. These SEC guidelines, and any other regulatory guidance, are in addition to notification and disclosure requirements under state and federal banking law and regulations.
Privacy and data security areas are expected to receive increased attention at the federal level. An increasing number of state laws and regulations have been enacted in recent years to implement privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations, including data breach notification and data privacy requirements. Recently, several states have adopted regulations requiring certain financial institutions to implement cybersecurity programs that meet specified requirements. In addition, other jurisdictions in which our customers do business, such as the European Union, have adopted similar requirements. This trend of activity is expected to continue to expand, requiring continual monitoring of developments in the states and nations in which our customers are located and ongoing investments in our information systems and compliance capabilities.
Community Reinvestment Act.    The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the “CRA”) requires depository institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas consistent with safe and sound banking practice. Under the CRA, each depository institution is required to help meet the credit needs of its market areas by, among other things, providing credit, making investments and providing community development services to low- and moderate-income individuals and communities. Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the CRA and are assigned one of four ratings. Our Bank is subject to examination by the FDIC. In order for a financial holding company to commence new activity permitted by the BHCA, each insured depository institution subsidiary of the financial holding company must have received a
11


Table of Contents
rating of at least “satisfactory” in its most recent examination under the CRA. Our Bank's strategic focus on serving commercial customers in regional and national markets from a limited number of branches makes it more challenging for us to satisfy CRA requirements as compared to banks of comparable size that focus on providing retail banking services in markets where they maintain a network of full-service branches.
In December 2019, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking intended to (i) clarify which activities qualify for CRA credit; (ii) update where activities count for CRA credit; (iii) create a more transparent and objective method for measuring CRA performance; and (iv) provide for more transparent, consistent, and timely CRA-related data collection, recordkeeping, and reporting. The FDIC has not finalized the revisions to its CRA rule. The OCC finalized its CRA rule in 2020, but, effective January 1, 2022 rescinded it and replaced it with the OCC’s prior CRA rule. The Federal Reserve has so far only issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on its CRA rules.
The USA Patriot Act, the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act and the Bank Secrecy Act.    A major focus of U.S. government policy regarding financial institutions in recent years has been combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other illegal payments. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 substantially broadened the scope of U.S. anti-money laundering laws and penalties, specifically related to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, and expanded the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the U.S. government in this area. Regulations issued under these laws impose obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and other suspicious activity and to verify the identity of their customers and apply additional scrutiny to customers considered to present greater than normal risk. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal, reputational and financial consequences for the institution. Because of the significance of regulatory emphasis on these requirements, we have expended, and expect to continue to expend, significant staffing, technology and financial resources to maintain programs designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and an effective audit function for testing our compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act on an ongoing basis.
The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AMLA”), which amends the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (“BSA”), was enacted in January 2021. The AMLA is intended to be a comprehensive reform and modernization to U.S. bank secrecy and anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, it codifies a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering compliance for financial institutions; requires the development of standards for evaluating technology and internal processes for BSA compliance; and expands enforcement- and investigation-related authority, including increasing available sanctions for certain BSA violations and instituting BSA whistleblower incentives and protections.
Office of Foreign Assets Control. The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) is responsible for administering and enforcing economic and trade sanctions against specified foreign parties, including countries and regimes, foreign individuals and other foreign organizations and entities. OFAC publishes lists of prohibited parties that are regularly consulted by our Bank in the conduct of its business in order to ensure compliance. We are responsible for, among other things, blocking accounts of, and transactions with, prohibited parties identified by OFAC, avoiding unlicensed trade and financial transactions with such parties and reporting blocked transactions after their occurrence. Failure to comply with OFAC requirements could have serious legal, financial and reputational consequences for our Bank.
Safe and Sound Banking Practices; Enforcement.    Banks and bank holding companies are prohibited from engaging in unsafe and unsound banking practices. Bank regulators have broad authority to prohibit and penalize activities of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws, regulations or written directives of or agreements with regulators. Regulators have considerable discretion in identifying what they deem to be unsafe and unsound practices and in pursuing enforcement actions in response to them.
The FDIA requires federal bank regulatory agencies to prescribe, by regulation or guideline, operational and managerial standards for all insured depository institutions that relate to, among other things: (i) internal controls, information systems and audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate exposure; (v) asset growth and quality; and (vi) compensation and benefits. Federal banking agencies have adopted regulations and Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement these requirements, which regulators use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If a regulator determines that a bank fails to meet any standards prescribed by the guidelines, the bank may be required to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance, and agree to specific deadlines for the submission to and review by the regulator of reports confirming progress in implementing the safety and soundness compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan may result in an enforcement action against the bank.
Enforcement actions against us, our Bank and our officers and directors may include the issuance of a written directive, the issuance of a cease-and-desist order that can be judicially enforced, the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance of directives to increase capital, the issuance of formal and informal agreements, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against officers or other institution-affiliated parties, the imposition of restrictions and sanctions under prompt corrective action

regulations, the termination of deposit insurance (in the case of our Bank) and the appointment of a conservator or receiver for our Bank. Civil money penalties can be over $2 million for each day a violation continues.
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders.    Our Bank is subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended (the “FRA”) which places limits on, among other covered transactions, the amount of loans or extensions of credit to affiliates that may be made by our Bank. Extensions of credit to affiliates must be adequately collateralized by specified amounts and types of collateral. Section 23A also limits the amount of loans or advances made by our Bank to third party borrowers that are collateralized by securities or obligations of the Bank’s affiliates. Our Bank is also subject to Section 23B of the FRA, which, among other things, prohibits an institution from engaging in transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to such institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliates.
We are subject to restrictions on extensions of credit to insiders (namely executive officers, directors, and 10% stockholders) and their related interests. These restrictions are contained in the FRA and Federal Reserve Regulation O and apply to all insured depository institutions as well as their subsidiaries and holding companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to any individual insider and such insider's related interests and certain conditions that must be met before such loans can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests, which cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus, unless the FDIC determines that a lesser amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions. Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates and insiders are discussed in the Dodd-Frank Act section below.
Restrictions on Payment of Dividends by Our Bank.    The sole source of funding of our parent company financial obligations has consisted of proceeds of capital markets transactions and cash payments from our Bank for debt service and dividend payments with respect to our preferred stock issued to us by the Bank. We may in the future seek to rely upon receipt of dividends paid by our Bank to meet our financial obligations. Our Bank is subject to federal banking law requirements concerning the payment of dividends, including, under the FDICIA, our Bank may not pay any dividend if it is undercapitalized or if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized.
Limits on Compensation.    The Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC in 2010 issued comprehensive final guidance on incentive compensation policies for executive management of banks and bank holding companies. This guidance was intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine their safety and soundness by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The objective of the guidance is to ensure that incentive compensation arrangements (i) provide incentives that do not encourage excessive risk-taking, (ii) are compatible with effective internal controls and risk management and (iii) are supported by strong corporate governance, including oversight by the board of directors. In 2016, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the SEC proposed rules that would, depending upon the assets of the institution, directly regulate incentive compensation arrangements and would require enhanced oversight and recordkeeping. As of December 31, 2021, these rules have not been implemented.
Deposit Insurance.    Our Bank’s deposits are insured through the DIF, which is administered by the FDIC, up to limits established by applicable law, currently $250,000 per depositor. The FDIC determines quarterly deposit insurance assessments consisting of a percentage of an assessment base equal to our Bank’s average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity capital and the assignment of one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. The FDIC has the discretion to adjust an institution’s risk rating and may terminate its insurance of deposits upon a finding that the institution engaged or is engaging in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or written agreement entered into with the FDIC. The FDIC may also prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity it determines to pose a serious risk to the DIF.
For 2021, minimum and maximum assessment rates (inclusive of possible adjustments) for institutions the size of our Bank ranged from 1.5 to 40 basis points. As a “large” institution for purposes of determining FDIC insurance assessments, our Bank was until December 31, 2018, subject to additional surcharges to rebuild the DIF to a reserve ratio (DIF balance divided by total insured deposits) equal to 1.35%.
The Dodd-Frank Act.    In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act became law and has had a broad impact on the financial services industry, imposing significant regulatory and compliance changes. The following discussion provides a brief summary of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that may have an effect on us.
The Dodd-Frank Act generally enhances the restrictions on transactions with affiliates under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, including an expansion of the definition of “covered transactions” and an increase in the amount of time for which the statutorily prescribed collateral amounts must be maintained for covered credit transactions must be satisfied. Insider transaction limitations are expanded through the expansion of the types of transactions subject to the various limits, including derivatives transactions, repurchase agreements and securities lending or borrowing transactions. Restrictions on certain asset sales to and from certain insiders to an institution were also expanded to include a broader range of insiders, to
13


Table of Contents
always require the transactions be on market terms and, in certain circumstances, to also require approval of the transaction by a majority of the disinterested members of the institution’s board.
The Dodd-Frank Act increases the risk of “secondary actor liability” for lenders that provide financing or other services to customers offering financial products or services to consumers, as our Bank does in our mortgage finance and lender finance lines of business. The Dodd-Frank Act can impose liability on a service provider for knowingly or recklessly providing substantial assistance to a customer found to have engaged in unfair, deceptive or abusive practices that injure a consumer. This exposure contributes to increased compliance and other costs in connection with the administration of credit extended to entities engaged in providing financial products and services to consumers.
The Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent compliance, capital, liquidity and leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business. These developments may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make changes to our business as necessary to comply with new and changing statutory and regulatory requirements.
The Volcker Rule.    The Dodd-Frank Act amended the BHCA to require the federal financial regulatory agencies to adopt rules that prohibit banks and their affiliates from engaging in proprietary trading in designated types of financial instruments and from investing in and sponsoring certain hedge funds and private equity funds. The Volcker Rule has not had a material effect on our operations since we do not engage in the businesses prohibited by the Volcker Rule. Unanticipated effects of the Volcker Rule’s provisions or future interpretations may have an adverse effect on our business or services provided to our Bank by other financial institutions.
Future Legislation and Regulation. Laws, regulations and policies are continually under review by Congress and state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies. In addition to the specific legislation and regulations described above, future legislation and regulations or changes to existing statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to us and our subsidiaries may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in adverse and unpredictable ways and increase our reporting requirements and compliance costs. The substance or impact of pending or future legislation or regulation, or the application thereof, cannot be predicted.

Risks Relating to Our Securities
Our stock price can be volatile.
The trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies.
Our preferred stock is thinly traded.
An investment in our securities is not an insured deposit.
The holders of our indebtedness and preferred stock have rights that are senior to those of our common stockholders.
We do not currently pay dividends on our common stock.
Federal legislation and regulations impose restrictions on the ownership of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for you to receive a change in control premium.
Our Bank is subject to regulatory and contractual limitations on the payment of its subordinated notes.
Risk Factors Associated with Our Business
Credit Risks
We must effectively manage our credit risks.    The risk of non-payment of loans is inherent in commercial banking, which may result from many factors, including:
Adverse changes in local, U.S. and global economic and industry conditions;
Business and market disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic;
Declines in the value of collateral, including asset values that are directly or indirectly related to external factors such as commodity prices, real estate values or interest rates;
Concentrations of credit associated with specific loan categories, industries or collateral types; and
Exposures to individual borrowers and to groups of entities that may be affiliated on some basis that individually and/or collectively represent a larger percentage of our total loans or capital than might be considered common at other banks of similar size.
We rely heavily on information provided by third parties when originating and monitoring loans. If this information is intentionally or negligently misrepresented and we do not detect such misrepresentations, the credit risk associated with the transaction may be increased. Although we attempt to manage our credit risk by carefully monitoring the concentration of our loans within specific loan categories and industries and through prudent loan approval and monitoring practices in all categories of our lending, we cannot assure you that our approval and monitoring procedures will reduce these lending risks. Our significant number of large credit relationships (above $20 million) could exacerbate credit problems precipitated by a regional or national economic downturn. Competitive pressures could erode underwriting standards, leading to a decline in general credit quality and increases in credit defaults and non-performing asset levels. If our credit portfolio management routines, policies and procedures are not able to adequately adapt to changes in economic, competitive or other conditions that affect customers and the quality of the loan portfolio, we may incur increased losses that could adversely affect our financial results and lead to increased regulatory scrutiny, restrictions on our lending activity or financial penalties.
A significant portion of our assets consists of commercial loans, which involve a high degree of credit risk. We generally invest a greater proportion of our assets in commercial loans to business customers than other banking institutions of our size, and our business plan calls for continued efforts to increase our assets invested in these loans. At December 31, 2021, approximately 43% of our portfolio of loans held for investment was comprised of commercial loans. Commercial loans may involve a higher degree of credit risk than other types of loans due, in part, to their larger average size, the effects of changing economic conditions on the businesses of our commercial loan customers, the dependence of borrowers on operating cash flow to service debt and our reliance upon collateral which may not be readily marketable. Due to the greater proportion of these commercial loans in our portfolio and because the balances of these loans are, on average, larger than other categories of loans, losses incurred on a relatively small number of commercial loans could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks arising from conditions in the real estate market, as a significant portion of our loans are secured by commercial and residential real estate. At December 31, 2021, approximately 54% of our loans held for investment portfolio was comprised of loans with real estate as the primary component of collateral. Our real estate lending activities, and our exposure to fluctuations in real estate collateral values, are significant and may increase as our assets increase. The market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a relatively short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located, in response to factors such as economic downturns, changes in the economic health of industries heavily concentrated in a particular area and in response to changes in market interest rates, which influence capitalization rates used to value revenue-generating commercial real estate. If the value of real estate serving as collateral for
16


Table of Contents
our loans declines materially, a significant part of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized and losses incurred upon borrower defaults would increase. Conditions in certain segments of the real estate industry, including homebuilding, lot development and mortgage lending, may have an effect on values of real estate pledged as collateral for our loans. The inability of purchasers of real estate, including residential real estate, to obtain financing may weaken the financial condition of our borrowers who are dependent on the sale or refinancing of property to repay their loans. Changes in the economic health of certain industries can have a significant impact on other sectors or industries which are directly or indirectly associated with those industries, and may impact the value of real estate in areas where such industries are concentrated.
Our future profitability depends, to a significant extent, upon our commercial business customers. Our future profitability depends, to a significant extent, upon revenue we receive from commercial business customers, and their ability to continue to meet their loan obligations. Adverse economic conditions or other factors affecting this market segment, and our failure to timely identify and react to unexpected economic downturns, may have a greater adverse effect on us than on other financial institutions that have a more diversified customer base. Additionally, our inability to grow our commercial business customer base in a highly competitive market could affect our future growth and profitability.
Our business is concentrated in Texas; our energy industry exposure could adversely affect our performance. Although more than 50% of our loan exposure is outside of Texas and more than 50% of our deposits are sourced outside of Texas, our Texas concentration remains significant compared to other peer banks. A majority of our loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, are to businesses with headquarters or operations in Texas. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be strongly affected by any prolonged period of economic recession or other adverse business, economic or regulatory conditions affecting Texas businesses and financial institutions. While the Texas economy is more diversified than in the 1980s, the energy sector continues to play an important role. At December 31, 2021, our outstanding energy loans represented 3% of total loans held for investment. Furthermore, energy production and related industries represent a significant part of the economies in some of the primary markets in which we operate. Our energy loans consist primarily of producing reserve-based loans to exploration and production companies, with a smaller portion of our loan balances attributable to royalty owners, midstream operators, saltwater disposal and other service companies whose businesses primarily relate to production, not exploration and development, of oil and gas. These businesses are significantly affected by volatility in oil and natural gas prices, reserve depletion curves, material declines in the level of drilling and production activity in Texas and in other areas of the United States and material fluctuations in investor interest in oil and gas exploration and production investments. There is no assurance that we will not be materially adversely impacted by the direct and indirect effects of current and future conditions in the energy industry in Texas and nationally.
We are subject to certain other risks related to our transition away from our mortgage correspondent aggregation business. In 2015, we launched our MCA business, a correspondent lending program that complemented our mortgage warehouse lending business. On April 20, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our portfolio of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and to transition the MCA program to a third-party. At December 31, 2021, we have $8.1 million in loans held for sale remaining on our balance sheet. Volatility in the mortgage industry has caused uncertainty related to the pricing of these mortgage loans when they are sold or securitized. This volatility may cause the actual returns on mortgage sales or securitization transactions to be less than anticipated.
We are from time to time required to hold or repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse investors as a result of breaches in contractual representations and warranties under the agreements pursuant to which we purchase and sell mortgage loans. While our agreements with the originators and sellers of mortgage loans provide us with legal recourse against them that may allow us to recover some or all of our losses, these companies are frequently not financially capable of paying large amounts of damages and as a result we can offer no assurance that we will not bear all of the risk of loss.
We must effectively manage our counterparty risk. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty and other relationships. Our Bank has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks, and other financial market participants. Many of these transactions expose our Bank to credit risk in the event of a default by a counterparty or client. In addition, our Bank’s credit risk may be increased when the collateral securing its loans cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of its credit or derivative exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We must maintain an appropriate allowance for credit losses. Our experience in the banking industry indicates that some portion of our loans will become delinquent, and some may only be partially repaid or may never be repaid at all. We maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans, which is a reserve established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense each quarter, that is consistent with management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio in light of the amount of loans committed and outstanding and current and future economic conditions and market trends. When specific loan losses are identified, the amount of the expected loss is removed, or charged off, from the allowance. Our methodology for establishing the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on loans depends on our subjective application of risk grades as indicators

of each borrower’s ability to repay specific loans, together with our assessment of how actual or projected changes in competitor underwriting practices, competition for borrowers and depositors and other conditions in our markets are likely to impact improvement or deterioration in the collectability of our loans as compared to our historical experience.
Our business model makes our Bank more vulnerable to changes in underlying business credit quality than other banks with which we compete. We have a substantially larger percentage of commercial, real estate and other categories of business loans relative to total assets than most other banks in our market and our individual loans are generally larger as a percentage of our total earning assets than other banks. We have substantially increased our liquidity in recent years, and these funds have primarily been invested in low-yielding deposits with federal agencies and other financial institutions. And, we have had a substantially smaller portion of our assets consist of securities and other earning asset categories that can be less vulnerable to changes in local, regional or industry-specific economic trends, causing our potential for credit losses to be more severe than other banks. During 2021, these balances have remained elevated, although they have begun to run off as we have purchased investment securities and proactively exited certain high-cost indexed deposit products; however, the most significant portion of earning assets still remains in loans. The failure to maintain above-peer credit quality metrics would have a material adverse impact on our growth and profitability. Historically, we have sought to take action prior to economic downturns by slowing growth rates and decreasing the risk level of our assets by, among other things, allowing runoff of loans that we believe may not perform well during a weakening or declining economic environment.
If our assessment of inherent risk and losses in our loan portfolio is inaccurate, or economic and market conditions or our borrowers' financial performance experience material unanticipated changes, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the allowance may become inadequate, requiring larger provisions for loan losses that can materially decrease our earnings. Certain of our loans individually represent a significant percentage of our total allowance for credit losses. Adverse collection experience in a relatively small number of these loans could require an increase in the provision for credit losses. Federal regulators periodically review our allowance for credit losses and, based on their judgments, which may be different than ours, may require us to change classifications or grades of loans, increase the allowance for credit losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in the allowance for credit losses or in the amount of loan charge-offs required by our methodology or regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial results. The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC may change the financial accounting and reporting standards, or the interpretation of those standards, that govern the preparation of our external financial statements from time to time. The impact of these changes or the application thereof on our financial condition and operations can be difficult to predict.
For example, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2020 which replaced the incurred loss methodology for determining our provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses with the CECL model. Implementation of CECL requires that we determine periodic estimates of lifetime expected future credit losses on loans in the provision for credit losses in the period when the loans are booked. Our adoption of CECL resulted in an increase to the allowance for credit losses by $9.1 million. The impact of CECL in future periods will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Should these factors materially change, we may be required to increase or decrease our allowance for credit losses, decreasing or increasing our reported income, and introducing additional volatility into our reported earnings.
Liquidity Risks
We must effectively manage our liquidity risk. Our Bank requires liquidity in the form of available funds to meet deposit, debt and other obligations as they come due, borrower requests to draw on committed credit facilities as well as unexpected demands for cash payments. While we are not subject to Basel III liquidity regulations, the adequacy of our liquidity is a matter of regulatory interest given the significant portion of our balance sheet represented by loans as opposed to securities and other more marketable investments. Our Bank’s principal source of funding consists of customer deposits, supplemented by our short-term and long-term borrowings, including federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings. We also rely on the availability of the mortgage secondary market provided by Ginnie Mae and the GSEs to support the liquidity of our residential mortgage assets. A substantial majority of our Bank’s liabilities consist of demand, savings, checking and money market deposits, which are payable on demand or upon relatively short notice. By comparison, a substantial portion of our assets are loans, most of which, excluding our mortgage finance loans and mortgage loans held for sale, cannot be collected or sold in so short a time frame, creating the potential for an imbalance in the availability of liquid assets to satisfy depositors and loan funding requirements.
We have historically held smaller balances of marketable securities than many of our competitors, limiting our ability to increase our liquidity by completing market sales of these assets. During 2020 and continuing into 2021, we deployed some of our excess liquidity into marketable securities. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of securities and loans and other sources, or an inability to access the capital markets, could have a substantial negative effect on our Bank’s liquidity. We actively manage our available sources of funds to meet our expected needs under normal and financially stressed conditions, but there is no assurance that our Bank will be able to make new loans, meet ongoing funding commitments to
18


Table of Contents
borrowers and replace maturing deposits and advances as necessary under all possible circumstances. Our Bank’s ability to obtain funding could be impaired by factors beyond its control, such as disruptions in financial markets, negative expectations regarding the financial services industry generally or in our markets or negative perceptions of our Bank, including our credit ratings.
Our Bank sources a significant volume of its demand deposits from financial services companies, mortgage finance customers and other commercial sources, resulting in a larger percentage of large deposits and a smaller number of sources of deposits than would be typical of other banks in our markets, creating concentrations of deposits that carry a greater risk of unexpected material withdrawals. In recent periods, over half of our total deposits have been attributable to customers whose balances exceed the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit. Many of these customers actively monitor our financial condition and results of operations and could withdraw their deposits quickly upon the occurrence of a material adverse development affecting our Bank or their businesses. Significant deterioration in our credit quality or a downgrade in our credit ratings could affect funding sources such as financial institutions and broker dealers. In response to this risk, we have increased our liquidity and developed more sophisticated techniques for monitoring and planning for changes in liquidity and capital over the past several years, but there is no assurance that we will maintain or have access to sufficient funding and capital to fully mitigate our liquidity risk.
One potential source of liquidity for our Bank consists of “brokered deposits” arranged by brokers acting as intermediaries, typically larger money-center financial institutions. We receive deposits provided by certain of our customers in connection with our delivery of other financial services to them or their customers which are subject to regulatory classification as “brokered deposits” even though we consider these to be relationship deposits and they are not subject to the typical risks or market pricing associated with conventional brokered deposits.
If we do not maintain our regulatory capital above the level required to be well capitalized we would be required to obtain FDIC consent for us to continue to accept, renew or roll over most deposits classified as brokered deposits, and there can be no assurance that the FDIC would consent under any circumstances. We could also be required to suspend or eliminate deposit gathering from any source classified as “brokered” deposits. The FDIC can change the definition of brokered deposits or extend the classification to deposits not currently classified as brokered deposits. These non-traditional deposits are subject to greater operational and reputational risk of unexpected withdrawal than traditional demand and time deposits, particularly those provided by consumers. A significant decrease in our balances of relationship brokered deposits could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below for further discussion of our liquidity.
Our growth plans are dependent on the availability of capital and funding. Our historical ability to raise capital through the sale of capital stock and debt securities may be affected by economic and market conditions or regulatory changes that are beyond our control. Adverse changes in our operating performance or financial condition could make raising additional capital difficult or more expensive or limit our access to customary sources of funding, including inter-bank borrowings, repurchase agreements and borrowings from a Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) or the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Unexpected changes in requirements for capital resulting from regulatory actions could require us to raise capital at a time, and at a price, that might be unfavorable, or could require that we forego continuing growth or reduce our current loan portfolio. We cannot offer assurance that capital and funding will be available to us in the future, in needed amounts, upon acceptable terms or at all. Our efforts to raise capital could require the issuance of securities at times and with maturities, conditions and rates that are disadvantageous, and which could have a dilutive impact on our current stockholders. Factors that could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital or necessary funding include conditions in the capital markets, our financial performance, our credit ratings, regulatory actions and general economic conditions. Increases in our cost of capital, including dilution and increased interest or dividend requirements, could have a direct adverse impact on our operating performance and our ability to achieve our growth objectives. Trust preferred securities are no longer viable as a source of new long-term debt capital as a result of regulatory changes. The treatment of our existing trust preferred securities as capital may be subject to further regulatory change prior to their maturity, which could require the Company to seek additional capital.
Our mortgage finance business has experienced, and will likely continue to experience, highly variable usage of our funding capacity resulting from seasonal demands for credit, surges in consumer demand driven by changes in interest rates and month-end “spikes” of residential mortgage closings. These spikes could also result in our Bank having capital ratios that are below internally targeted levels or even levels that could cause our Bank to not be well capitalized and could affect liquidity levels. At the same time, managing this risk by declining to respond fully to the needs of our customers could severely impact our business. We have responded to these variable funding demands by, among other things, increasing the extent of participations sold in our mortgage loan interests, as needed, and by maintaining a substantial borrowing relationship with the FHLB. Our mortgage finance customers have in recent periods provided significant low-cost deposit balances associated with the borrower escrow accounts created at the time certain mortgage loans are funded, which have benefitted our liquidity and net interest margin. In response to competitive pressures, we sometimes find it necessary to pay interest on some of these accounts, as regulations allow or require and this trend may continue, which can affect our ability to reduce our costs of funds. Individual escrow account balances also experience significant variability monthly as principal and interest payments, as well as ad valorem taxes and insurance premiums, are paid periodically. While the short average holding period of our mortgage interests
19


Table of Contents
of approximately 20 days will allow us, if necessitated by a funding shortfall, to rapidly decrease the size of the portfolio and its associated capital and funding requirements, any such action might significantly damage our business and important mortgage finance relationships.
We are dependent on funds obtained from borrowing or capital transactions or from our Bank to fund our obligations. We are a financial holding company engaged in the business of managing, controlling and operating our Bank. We conduct no material business or other activity at the parent company level other than activities incidental to holding equity and debt investments in our Bank. As a result, we rely on the proceeds of capital transactions, borrowings under our revolving line of credit, payments of interest and principal on loans made to our Bank and dividends on preferred stock issued by our Bank to pay our operating expenses, to satisfy our obligations to debtholders and to pay dividends on our preferred stock. The profitability of our Bank is subject to fluctuation based upon, among other things, the cost and availability of funds, changes in interest rates and economic conditions in general. Our Bank’s ability to pay dividends to us is subject to regulatory limitations that can, under certain adverse circumstances, prohibit the payment of dividends to us. Our right to participate in any distribution from the liquidation or sale of our Bank’s assets is subject to the prior claims of our Bank’s creditors.
If we are unable to access funds from capital transactions, borrowing under our revolving line of credit or dividends or interest on loan payments from our Bank, we may be unable to satisfy our obligations to creditors or debtholders or pay dividends on our preferred stock. Changes in our Bank’s operating results or capital requirements could require us to convert subordinated notes or preferred stock of our Bank held by us into common equity, reducing our cash flow available to meet our obligations.
Market Risks
We must effectively manage our interest rate risk. Our profitability is dependent to a large extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income paid to us on our loans and investments and the interest we pay to third parties such as our depositors, lenders and debtholders. Changes in interest rates can impact our profits and the fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities. Models that we use to forecast and plan for the impact of rising and falling interest rates may be incorrect or fail to consider the impact of competition and other conditions affecting our loans and deposits.
Periods of unusually low or volatile interest rates have a material effect on our earnings. During the first quarter of 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced the target Federal Funds rate to between zero and 0.25%. At the most recent meeting, the Federal Reserve voted to maintain this target range, but indicated that the economic recovery pace was such that a rate increase was likely in early 2022 with additional rate increases to potentially follow.
Increases in interest rates and economic conditions affecting consumer demand for housing can have a material impact on the volume of mortgage originations and refinancings, adversely affecting the profitability of our mortgage finance business. Interest rate risk can also result from mismatches between the dollar amounts of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities and from mismatches in the timing and rates at which our assets and liabilities reprice. We actively monitor and manage the balances of our maturing and repricing assets and liabilities to reduce the adverse impact of changes in interest rates, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid material adverse effects on our net interest margin in all market conditions.
Rising interest rates in prior periods have increased our interest expense, with a commensurate adverse effect on our net interest income, and may be expected to do so in future periods. In a rising rate environment, competition for cost-effective deposits increase, making it more costly for us to fund loan growth. Rapid and unexpected volatility in interest rates creates additional uncertainty and potential for adverse financial effects. There can be no assurance that we will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates.
We may be adversely affected by the transition away from LIBOR for our variable rate loans, derivative contracts and other financial assets and liabilities. Our business relies upon a large volume of loans, derivative contracts and other financial instruments which are directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR to establish their interest rate and/or value. The administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023 and ceased publishing other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The U.S. federal banking agencies issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. We have significant exposure to financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR to establish their interest rate and/or value, some of which mature after December 31, 2021.
We have established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the company, to monitor developments relating to LIBOR changes and to guide the Bank’s response. This team is continuing to work to ensure that our technology systems are prepared for the transition, our loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders are apprised of the transition. Based on our transition progress to date, we have ceased originating LIBOR-based products and began originating Bloomberg Short Term Yield Index based loans in December 2021. We are prepared with other alternative benchmarks, as necessary, to support the continued transition from LIBOR. Over the next 18 months, we will continue to transition all remaining LIBOR-based products to an alternative benchmark. We will also continue to evaluate the transition process and align our trajectory
20


Table of Contents
with regulatory guidelines regarding the cessation of LIBOR as well as monitor new developments for transitioning to alternative reference rates. Any successor or replacement interest rates to LIBOR may perform differently, which may affect our net interest income, change our market risk profile and require changes to our risk, pricing and hedging strategies. Any failure to adequately manage this transition could adversely impact our reputation.
Strategic Risks
We must be effective in developing and executing new lines of business and new products and services while managing associated risks. Our business strategy requires that we develop and grow new lines of business and offer new products and services within existing lines of business in order to ensure future client acquisition and retention of existing clients and realize our strategic priorities for both loans and deposits. Substantial costs, risks and uncertainties are associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. Developing and marketing new activities requires that we invest significant time and resources before new sources of revenues, funding and profits can be realized. Timetables for the development and launch of new activities may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible or their realization may be delayed. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, receipt of necessary licenses or permits, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences, may also adversely impact the successful execution of new activities. New activities necessarily entail additional risks and may present additional risks to the effectiveness of our system of internal controls and risk management strategies. All service offerings, including current offerings and new activities, may become more risky due to changes in economic, competitive and market conditions beyond our control. Our regulators could determine that our risk management practices are not adequate or our capital levels are not sufficiently in excess of well capitalized levels and take action to restrain our growth. Failure to successfully manage these risks, generally and to the satisfaction of our regulators, in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We compete with many banks and other financial service providers. Competition among providers of financial services in our markets, in Texas, regionally and nationally, is intense. We compete with other financial and bank holding companies, state and national commercial banks, savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerages, insurance companies, mortgage banking companies, money market mutual funds, asset-based non-bank lenders, government sponsored or subsidized lenders and other financial services providers. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources, lending limits and technological resources and larger branch networks than we do, and are able to offer a broader range of products and services than we can, including systems and services that could more effectively protect customers from cyber threats. Many competitors offer lower interest rates and more liberal loan terms that appeal to borrowers but adversely affect net interest margin and assurance of repayment. We are increasingly faced with competition in many of our products and services by non-bank providers who may have competitive advantages of size, access to potential customers and fewer regulatory requirements. Failure to compete effectively for deposit, loan and other banking customers in any of our lines of business could cause us to lose market share, slow or reverse our growth rate or suffer adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
We must effectively execute our business strategy in order to continue our asset and earnings growth. Our core strategy is to develop our business principally through organic growth by offering a differentiated banking experience to companies in high-value business segments. Our prospects for continued growth must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by growing companies. In order to execute our business strategy successfully, we must, among other things:
continue to identify and expand into suitable markets and lines of business, in Texas, regionally and nationally;
develop new products and services and execute our full range of products and services more efficiently and effectively;
attract and retain qualified bankers in each of our targeted market segments to build our customer base;
respond to market opportunities promptly and nimbly while balancing the demands of risk management and compliance with regulatory requirements;
expand our loan portfolio in an intensely competitive environment while maintaining credit quality;
attract sufficient deposits and capital to fund our anticipated loan growth and satisfy regulatory requirements;
control expenses; and
acquire and maintain sufficient qualified staffing and information technology and operational resources to support growth and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Failure to effectively execute our business strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Operational Risks
We, our vendors and customers must effectively manage our information systems and cyber risk which may experience disruption, failure or breach in security. We, our vendors and customers all rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our respective businesses, store sensitive data and work effectively together. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. Our ability to compete successfully depends in part upon our ability to use technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands. Many of our larger competitors invest substantially greater resources in technological capabilities than we do. We may not be able to effectively protect, develop and manage mission critical systems and IT infrastructure to support strategic business initiatives, which could impair our ability to achieve financial, operational, compliance and strategic objectives and negatively affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Our communications and information systems and those of our vendors and customers remain vulnerable to unexpected disruptions, failures and cyber-attacks. Any disruption, failure or breach in security of these systems could result in significant disruption to our operations. Information security breaches and cyber-security-related incidents include, but are not limited to, attempts to access information, including customer and company information, malicious code, computer viruses and denial of service attacks that could result in unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction of data (including confidential customer information), account takeovers, unavailability of service or other events. These types of threats may derive from human error, fraud or malice on the part of external or internal parties or may result from accidental technological failure. The risk, frequency and intensity of such attacks is escalating, including as a result of remote working arrangements implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication of these threats. Material failures or interruptions of these systems could impair our ability to serve our customers and to operate our business and could damage our reputation, result in a loss of business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny or enforcement or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability. While we have developed extensive recovery plans, we cannot assure that those plans will be effective to prevent adverse effects upon us and our customers resulting from system failures.
Cloud technologies are also critical to the operation of our systems, and our reliance on cloud technologies is growing. Service disruptions in cloud technologies may lead to delays in accessing, or the loss of, data that is important to our businesses and may hinder our clients’ access to our products and services.
We collect and store sensitive data, including personally identifiable information of our customers and employees and in the ordinary course of business must allow certain of our vendors access to that data. Breaches of our systems or our vendors' or customers’ systems, thefts of data and other breaches and criminal activity may result in significant costs to respond, liability for customer losses if we or our vendors are at fault, damage to our customer relationships, regulatory scrutiny and enforcement and loss of future business opportunities due to reputational damage. Even the most well-protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because attempted security breaches, particularly cyber-attacks and intrusions, or disruptions will occur in the future, and because the techniques used in such attempts are constantly evolving and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is virtually impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.
Breaches can be perpetrated by unknown third parties, but could also be facilitated by employees either inadvertently or by consciously attempting to create disruption or certain acts of fraud. Our customers and employees have been, and will continue to be, targeted by parties using fraudulent e-mails and other communications in attempts to misappropriate passwords, bank account information or other personal information or to introduce viruses or other malware through “Trojan horse” programs to our information systems, the information systems of our merchants or third-party service providers and/or our customers' computers. Although we, with the help of third-party service providers, will continue to implement information security technology solutions and establish operational procedures to protect sensitive data, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. We advise and provide training to our customers and evaluate and impose security requirements on our vendors regarding protection of their respective information systems, but there is no assurance that these actions will have the intended positive effects or will be effective to prevent losses. In some cases we may elect to contribute to the cost of responding to cybercrime against our customers, even when we are not at fault, in order to maintain valuable customer relationships. Successful cyber-attacks on our Bank, vendors or customers may affect the reputation of our Bank, and failure to meet customer expectations could have a material impact on our ability to attract and retain deposits as a primary source of funding.
A security breach or other significant disruption of our information systems or those related to our customers, merchants and our third-party vendors, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could (i) disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our customers; (ii) result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or our customers; (iii) result in a violation of applicable privacy, data breach and other laws, subjecting us to additional regulatory

Table of Contents
scrutiny and exposing us to civil litigation, governmental fines and possible financial liability; (iv) require significant management attention and resources to remedy the damages that result; or (v) harm our reputation or cause a decrease in the number of customers that choose to do business with us. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations rely extensively on a broad range of external vendors. We rely on a large number of vendors to provide products and services necessary to maintain our day-to-day operations, particularly in the areas of operations, treasury management systems, information technology and security. This reliance exposes us to the risk that these vendors will not perform as required by our agreements as well as risks resulting from disruptions in communications with our vendors, cyber-attacks and security breaches at our vendors, failure of a vendor to provide services for other reasons and poor performance of services. An external vendor’s failure to perform in any of these areas could be disruptive to our operations, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as cause reputational damage. External vendors who must have access to our information systems in order to provide their services have been identified as significant sources of information technology security risk. While we have implemented an active program of oversight to address this risk, there can be no assurance that we will not experience material security breaches associated with our vendors.
We must continue to attract, retain and develop key personnel. Our success depends to a significant extent upon our ability to attract, develop and retain experienced bankers in each of our lines of business and markets as well as managers in operational areas, compliance and other support areas to build and maintain the infrastructure and controls required to support continuing loan and deposit growth. Competition for the best people in our industry can be intense, and there is no assurance that we will continue to have the same level of success in this effort that has supported our historical results. Factors that affect our ability to attract, develop and retain key employees include our compensation and benefits programs, our profitability, our ability to establish appropriate succession plans for key talent, our reputation for rewarding and promoting qualified employees and market competition for employees with certain skills, including information systems development and security. The cost of employee compensation is a significant portion of our operating expenses and can materially impact our results of operations. The unanticipated loss of the services of key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain key employees, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining them.
Our accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on management judgment, which may prove inadequate or be adversely impacted by inaccurate assumptions or models. The processes we use to estimate expected credit losses for purposes of establishing the allowance for credit losses and to measure the fair value of financial instruments, certain of our liquidity and capital planning tools, as well as the processes we use to estimate the effects of changing interest rates and other market measures on our financial condition and results of operations, all depend upon management’s judgment. Management’s judgment and the data relied upon by management may be based on assumptions that prove to be inaccurate, particularly in times of market stress or other unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, CECL requires the application of greater management judgment that is supported by new models and more data elements, including macroeconomic forecasts, than the previous allowance standard. Our adoption of the CECL model is expected to increase the complexity, and associated risk, of the analysis and processes relying on management judgment, which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Our risk management strategies and processes may not be effective; our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented. We continue to invest in the development of risk management techniques, strategies, assessment methods and related controls and monitoring approaches on an ongoing basis. However, these risk management strategies and processes may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all economic market environments or against all types of risk. Any failures in our risk management strategies and processes to accurately identify, quantify and monitor our risk exposure could limit our ability to effectively manage our risks. Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and management judgment and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is susceptible to fraud. Our business exposes us to fraud risk from our loan and deposit customers, the parties they do business with, as well as from our employees, contractors and vendors. We rely on financial and other data from new and existing customers which could turn out to be fraudulent when accepting such customers, executing their financial transactions and making and purchasing loans and other financial assets. In times of increased economic stress we are at increased risk of fraud losses. We believe we have underwriting and operational controls in place to prevent or detect such fraud, but we cannot provide assurance that these controls will be effective in detecting fraud or that we will not experience fraud losses or incur costs or other damage related to such fraud, at levels that adversely affect our financial results or reputation. Our lending customers may also experience fraud in their businesses which could adversely affect their ability to repay their loans or make use of our services. Our exposure and the exposure of our customers to fraud may increase our
23

financial risk and reputation risk as it may result in unexpected loan losses that exceed those that have been provided for in our allowance for credit losses.
Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Risks
We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision. We, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, and our Bank as a Texas state-chartered bank, are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision, and the potential for regulatory enforcement actions, that impact our business on a daily basis. See the discussion above at Business - Regulation and Supervision. These regulations affect our lending practices, permissible products and services and their terms and conditions, customer relationships, capital structure, investment practices, accounting, financial reporting, operations and our ability to grow, among other things. These regulations also impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identities of our customers.
The level of regulatory scrutiny that we are subject to may fluctuate over time, based on numerous factors. In addition, Congress, state legislatures, and federal and state regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Material changes in regulation and requirements imposed on financial institutions, such as the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel III Capital Rules, European Union's General Data Protection Regulations and California Consumer Privacy Act result in additional costs, impose more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and increase the ability of non-bank financial services providers to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Such changes could result in new regulatory obligations which could prove difficult, expensive or competitively impractical to comply with if not equally imposed upon non-bank financial services providers with whom we compete.
We are subject to a continuous program of examinations by our regulators concerning, among other things, lending practices, reserve methodology, compliance with changing regulations and interpretations, BSA/AML compliance, our management of interest rate, liquidity, capital and operational risk, enterprise risk management, regulatory and financial accounting practices and policies and related matters, which can divert management’s time and attention from focusing on our business. We devote a significant amount of management time and expense to enhancing the infrastructure to support our compliance obligations, which can pose significant regulatory enforcement, financial and reputational risks if not appropriately addressed.
The Regulatory Relief Act passed on May 22, 2018, has provided a limited degree of regulatory relief for institutions of our size. Uncertainty regarding how our regulators will evaluate capital and liquidity planning going forward remains a risk. We continue to increase our capital and liquidity and expand our regulatory compliance staffing and systems in order to address continuing regulatory requirements. There is no assurance that our financial performance in future years will not be similarly burdened.
We expend substantial effort and incur costs to maintain and improve our systems, controls, accounting, operations, information security, compliance, audit effectiveness, analytical capabilities, staffing and training in order to satisfy regulatory requirements. We cannot offer assurance that these efforts will be accepted by our regulators as satisfying the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to us. Failure to comply with relevant laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.
We must maintain adequate regulatory capital to support our business objectives. Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and other regulatory requirements, we must satisfy capital requirements based upon quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. Our satisfaction of these requirements is subject to qualitative judgments by regulators that may differ materially from management’s and that are subject to being determined retroactively for prior periods. Additionally, regulators can make subjective assessments about the adequacy of capital levels, even if our Bank's reported capital exceeds the “well capitalized” requirements. Our ability to maintain our status as a financial holding company and to continue to operate our Bank as we have in recent periods is dependent upon a number of factors, including our Bank qualifying as “well capitalized” and “well managed” under applicable prompt corrective action regulations and upon our company qualifying on an ongoing basis as “well capitalized” and “well managed” under applicable Federal Reserve regulations.
Failure to meet regulatory capital standards could have a material adverse effect on our business, including damaging the confidence of customers in us, adversely impacting our reputation and competitive position and retention of key personnel. Any of these developments could limit our access to:
brokered deposits;
FRB discount window;
24


Table of Contents
advances from the FHLB;
capital markets transactions; and
development of new financial services.
Failure to meet regulatory capital standards may also result in higher FDIC assessments. If we fall below guidelines for being deemed “adequately capitalized” the FDIC or Federal Reserve could impose restrictions on our activities and a broad range of regulatory requirements in order to effect “prompt corrective action.” The capital requirements applicable to us are in a process of continuous evaluation and revision in connection with actions of the Basel Committee and our regulators. We cannot predict the final form, or the effects, of these regulations on our business, but among the possible effects are requirements that we slow our rate of growth or obtain additional capital which could reduce our earnings or dilute our existing stockholders.
We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business, including claims that may not be covered by our insurers. Customers and other parties we engage with assert claims and take legal action against us on a regular basis and we regularly take legal action to collect unpaid borrower obligations, realize on collateral and assert our rights in commercial and other contexts. These actions frequently result in counter claims against us. Litigation arises in a variety of contexts, including lending activities, employment practices, commercial agreements, fiduciary responsibility related to our wealth management services, intellectual property rights and other general business matters.
Claims and legal actions may result in significant legal costs to defend us or assert our rights and may result in reputational damage that adversely affects existing and future customer relationships. If claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us we may suffer significant financial liability or adverse effects upon our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Legal Proceedings below for additional disclosures regarding legal proceedings.
We purchase insurance coverage to mitigate a wide range of operating risks, including general liability, errors and omissions, professional liability, business interruption, cyber-crime, fraud and property loss, for events that may be materially detrimental to our Bank or customers. There is no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to protect us against material losses in excess of our coverage limits or that insurers will perform their obligations under our policies without attempting to limit or exclude coverage. We could be required to pursue legal actions against insurers to obtain payment of amounts we are owed, and there is no assurance that such actions, if pursued, would be successful.
Other Risks Affecting Our Business
Our business faces unpredictable economic and business conditions. Our business is directly impacted by general economic and business conditions in Texas, the United States and internationally. The credit quality of our loan portfolio necessarily reflects, among other things, the general economic conditions in the areas in which we and our customers conduct our respective businesses. Our continued financial success can be affected by other factors that are beyond our control, including:
national, regional and local economic conditions;
the value of the U.S. Dollar in relation to the currencies of other advanced and emerging market countries;
the performance of both domestic and international equity and debt markets and valuation of securities traded on recognized domestic and international exchanges;
general economic consequences of international conditions, such as weakness in European and South American sovereign debt and currencies and the U.K.'s referendum to exit from the European Union, and the impact of those conditions on the US and global economies;
legislative and regulatory changes impacting our industry;
the financial health of our customers and economic conditions affecting them and the value of our collateral, including effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued price volatility of oil and gas and other commodities;
the incidence of fraud, illegal payments, security breaches and other illegal acts among or impacting our Bank and our customers;
structural changes in the markets for origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgages;
changes in governmental economic and regulatory policies, including the extent and timing of intervention in credit markets by the Federal Reserve or withdrawal from that intervention, generally as well as changes attributable to presidential and congressional elections;
changes in the availability of liquidity at a systemic level; and
material inflation or deflation.

Substantial deterioration in any of the foregoing conditions can have a material adverse effect on our prospects and our results of operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to return to our historical rate of growth or our profitability. Our Bank's customer base is primarily commercial in nature, and our Bank does not have a significant retail branch network or retail consumer deposit base. In periods of economic downturn, business and commercial deposits may be more volatile than traditional retail consumer deposits. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected to a greater degree by these uncertainties than competitors having a larger retail customer base.
The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us and our customers, employees and third-party service providers, and the adverse impacts on our business, financial position, operations and prospects have been and are expected to continue to be significant. During 2020, as a result of the uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, business and consumer customers of the Bank experienced varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected to continue over coming months and may likely adversely affect their ability to timely pay interest and principal on their loans and the value of the collateral securing their obligations. During 2021, restrictive measures taken by governments, businesses and individuals eased and the U.S. economy began to improve. With the recent outbreak of the Omicron variant, we may experience additional uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity, which may lead to the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses. Disruptions to our customers’ businesses could also result in declines in, among other things, wealth management revenue. These new developments as a consequence of the pandemic may materially impact our business and the businesses of our customers and may have a material adverse effect on our financial results as the pandemic continues.
Effective June 1, 2021, we returned to pre-pandemic business operations and brought 100% of our workforce back into the office. Our branch locations are currently open and operating during normal business hours. In order to protect the health of our customers and employees, we continue to take additional precautions within our branch locations, including enhanced cleaning procedures. We may take further such actions that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers and communities or as may be required by government order. These actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar actions by our vendors and business partners, have not materially impaired our ability to support our employees, conduct our business and serve our customers, but there is no assurance that these actions will be sufficient to successfully mitigate the risks presented by COVID-19 or that our ability to operate will not be materially affected going forward. For instance, our business operations may be disrupted if key personnel or significant portions of our employees are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, if any of our vendors or business partners become unable to continue to provide their products and services, which we rely upon to maintain our day-to-day operations, our ability to serve our customers could be impacted.
COVID-19 does not yet appear to be contained and the continued outbreak of new variants of COVID-19 could affect significantly more households and businesses. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is not possible to accurately predict the extent, severity or duration of these conditions or when normal economic and operating conditions will resume. For this reason, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios and credit ratings, is highly uncertain and unpredictable and depends on, among other things, new information that may emerge concerning the scope, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities and other parties in response to the pandemic, the scale of distribution and public acceptance of any vaccines for COVID-19 and the effectiveness of such vaccines in stemming or stopping the spread of COVID-19. The adverse impact on the markets in which we operate and on our business, operations and financial condition is expected to remain elevated until the pandemic subsides.
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including broker-dealers, commercial banks, investment banks and other institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure due us. There can be no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
The impact of the Tax Act on us and our customers contributes to uncertainty and risk related to our customers' future demand for credit and our future results. The extent to which increased economic activity expected to result from the Tax Act has spurred additional economic activity or affected the extent of borrowing by our customers is unclear, although the continuation of the current economic expansion provides some evidence of a positive effect. At the same time, some of our customers may have elected to use their additional cash flow from lower taxes to fund their business, decreasing borrowing needs. The elimination of the federal income tax deductibility of business interest expense for a significant number of our customers effectively increases the cost of borrowing and makes equity or hybrid funding relatively more attractive. This could have a long-term negative impact on business customer borrowing. We realized a significant increase in our after-tax net income
26

available to stockholders attributable to the Tax Act beginning in 2018, but there is no guarantee that future years' results will have the same benefit. The continued compression of net interest margin at our bank and for competitor banks indicates that some or all of the expected benefit from the Tax Act has been lost as the banks and financial services companies we compete with have elected to lower interest rates and fees and we have responded in order to remain competitive. Additionally, the tax benefits could be repealed as a result of future political or regulatory actions, including as a result of changes proposed by the new U.S. presidential administration. There is no assurance that the current or anticipated benefits of the Tax Act will be realized in future periods.
We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities. A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. There is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties, and that we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property's value by limiting our ability to use or sell it. Although we have policies and procedures requiring environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Future laws or regulations or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws and regulations may increase our exposure to environmental liability.
Severe weather, earthquakes, other natural disasters, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business. Severe weather, earthquakes, other natural disasters, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause us to incur additional expenses. Recent hurricanes caused extensive flooding and destruction along the coastal areas of Texas and in other areas in the US, including communities where we conduct business. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Climate change has the potential to disrupt our business and adversely impact the operations and creditworthiness of our clients. Climate change has caused severe weather patterns and events that could disrupt operations at one or more of our locations, which may disrupt our ability to provide financial products and services to our clients. Climate change could also have a negative effect on the financial status and creditworthiness of our clients, which may decrease revenues and business activities from those clients, increase the credit risk associated with loans and other credit exposures to such clients, and decrease the value of our warrants and direct equity investments in such clients, if any.
Climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives may result in operational changes and expenditures that could significantly impact our business. The current and anticipated effects of climate change are creating an increasing level of concern for the state of the global environment. As a result, political and social attention to the issue of climate change has increased. In recent years, governments across the world have entered into international agreements to attempt to reduce global temperatures, in part by limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The United States government has rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, the most recent international climate change accord, while the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies are likely to continue to propose and advance numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives seeking to mitigate the effects of climate change. These agreements and measures may result in the imposition of taxes and fees, the required purchase of emission credits, and the implementation of significant operational changes. In addition, the federal banking agencies under the current President’s Administration may address climate-related issues in their agendas in various ways, including by increasing supervisory expectations with respect to banks’ risk management practices, accounting for the effects of climate change in stress testing scenarios and systemic risk assessments, revising expectations for credit portfolio concentrations based on climate-related factors, and encouraging investment by banks in climate-related initiatives and lending to communities disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change. Each of the above-described initiatives, as well as other similar initiatives, may require us to expend significant capital and incur compliance, operating, maintenance and remediation costs. Given the lack of empirical data on the credit and other financial risks posed by climate change, it is impossible to predict how climate change may impact our financial condition and operations; however, as a banking organization, the physical effects of climate change may present certain unique risks. For example, weather disasters, shifts in local climates and other disruptions related to climate change may adversely affect the value of real properties securing our loans, which could diminish the value of our loan portfolio. Such events may also cause reductions in regional and local economic activity that may have an adverse effect on our customers, which could limit our ability to raise and invest capital in these areas and communities, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Negative public opinion could damage our reputation and adversely affect our earnings. Reputational risk, or the risk to our earnings and capital from negative public opinion, is inherent in our business. Negative public opinion can result from the
27


Table of Contents
actual or perceived manner in which we conduct our business activities; our management of actual or potential conflicts of interest and ethical issues; and our protection of confidential client information. Our brand and reputation may also be harmed by actions taken by third parties that we contract with to provide services to the extent such parties fail to meet their contractual, legal and regulatory obligations or act in a manner that is harmful to our clients. If we fail to supervise these relationships effectively, we could also be subject to regulatory enforcement, including fines and penalties. Negative public opinion can adversely affect our ability to keep and attract clients and can expose us to litigation and regulatory action. We take steps to minimize reputation risk in the way we conduct our business activities and deal with our clients, communities and vendors but our efforts may not be sufficient.
Risks Relating to Our Securities
Our stock price can be volatile. Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly and annual results of our operations;
changes in recommendations by securities analysts;
changes in composition and perceptions of the investors who own our stock and other securities;
changes in ratings from national rating agencies on publicly or privately-owned debt securities and deposits in our Bank;
operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry, including regulatory actions against other financial institutions;
actual or expected economic conditions that are perceived to affect our company such as changes in commodity prices, real estate values or interest rates;
perceptions in the marketplace regarding us and/or our competitors;
new technology used, or services offered, by competitors;
significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
changes in government regulations and interpretation of those regulations, changes in our practices requested or required by regulators and changes in regulatory enforcement focus;
impacts and disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.
General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.
The trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. Although our common stock is traded on Nasdaq, the trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. Given the lower trading volume of our common stock, significant sales of our common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause our stock price to fall. In addition, a substantial majority of common stock outstanding is held by institutional investors, and trading activity involving large positions may increase volatility of the stock price. Concentration of ownership by institutional investors and inability to execute trades covering large numbers of shares can increase volatility of stock price. Changes in general economic outlook or perspectives on our business or prospects by our institutional investors, whether factual or speculative, can have a major impact on our stock price.
Our preferred stock is thinly traded. There is only a limited trading volume in our preferred stock due to the small size of the issue and its largely institutional holder base. Significant sales of our preferred stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause the price of the preferred stock to fall substantially.
An investment in our securities is not an insured deposit. Our common stock, preferred stock and indebtedness are not bank deposits and, therefore, are not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of securities of any company. As a result, if you acquire our common stock, preferred stock or indebtedness, you may lose some or all of your investment.

The holders of our indebtedness and preferred stock have rights that are senior to those of our common stockholders. As of December 31, 2021, we had $375.0 million outstanding in subordinated notes issued by our holding company and $113.4 million outstanding in junior subordinated notes that are held by statutory trusts which issued trust preferred securities to investors. At December 31, 2021, our Bank had $175.0 million in subordinated notes outstanding. Payments of the principal and interest on our trust preferred securities are conditionally guaranteed by us to the extent not paid by each trust, provided the trust has funds available for such obligations.
Our subordinated notes and junior subordinated notes are senior to our shares of preferred stock and common stock in right of payment of dividends and other distributions. We must be current on interest and principal payments on our indebtedness before any dividends can be paid on our preferred stock or our common stock. In the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of our indebtedness must be satisfied before any distributions can be made to our preferred or common stockholders. If certain conditions are met, we have the right to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) at any time or from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters in a deferral period, during which time no dividends may be paid to holders of our preferred stock or common stock. Because our Bank’s subordinated notes are obligations of the Bank, they would in liquidation of our Bank or sale of its assets receive payment before any amounts would be payable to holders of our common stock, preferred stock or subordinated notes.
At December 31, 2021, we had issued and outstanding 300,000 shares of our 5.75% fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 12 million depositary shares, each representing 1/40th interest in a share of the Series B preferred stock. Our preferred stock is senior to our shares of common stock in right of payment of dividends and other distributions. We must be current on dividends payable to holders of preferred stock before any dividends can be paid on our common stock. In the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of our preferred stock must be satisfied before any distributions can be made to our common stockholders.
We do not currently pay dividends on our common stock. We have not paid dividends on our common stock and we do not expect to do so for the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital. The ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by its obligation to maintain sufficient capital and by other regulatory restrictions as discussed above under the heading Supervision and Regulation - Restrictions on Payment of Dividends by Our Bank.
Federal legislation and regulations impose restriction on the ownership of our common stock. The ability of a third party to acquire us is limited under applicable U.S. banking laws and regulations. The BHCA requires any bank holding company (as defined therein) to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve prior to acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock. Any “company” (as defined in the BHCA) other than a bank holding company would be required to obtain Federal Reserve approval before acquiring “control” of us. “Control” generally means (i) the ownership or control of 25% or more of a class of voting securities, (ii) the ability to elect a majority of the directors or (iii) the ability otherwise to exercise a controlling influence over management and policies. A holder of 25% or more of our outstanding Common Stock, other than an individual, is subject to regulation and supervision as a bank holding company under the BHCA. In addition, under the CIBC Act and the Federal Reserve’s regulations thereunder, any person, either individually or acting through or in concert with one or more persons, is required to provide notice to the Federal Reserve prior to acquiring, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of our outstanding common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for you to receive a change in control premium. Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest more difficult, even if such events were perceived by many of our stockholders as beneficial to their interests. These provisions include advance notice for nominations of directors and stockholders' proposals, and authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock, from engaging in a business combination with our company for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholder unless certain specified conditions are satisfied.
Our Bank is subject to regulatory and contractual limitation on the payment of its subordinated notes. Under the FDIA, “critically undercapitalized” banks may not, beginning 60 days after becoming critically undercapitalized, make any payment of principal or interest on their subordinated debt (subject to certain limited exceptions). In addition, under Section 18(i) of the FDIA, our Bank is required to obtain the advance consent of the FDIC to retire any part of its subordinated notes. Under the FDIA, a bank may not pay interest on its subordinated notes if such interest is required to be paid only out of net profits, or distribute any of its capital assets, while it remains in default on any assessment due to the FDIC.
Our Bank’s subordinated indebtedness is unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Bank’s obligations to its depositors, its obligations under banker’s acceptances and letters of credit, its obligations to any FRB, certain obligations to

the FDIC, and its obligations to its other creditors, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, except any obligations which expressly rank on a parity with or junior to the subordinated notes.

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis. Refer to “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10K filed with the SEC on February 9, 2021, for discussion of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements and financial analysis contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance taking into account all information available to us at the time such statements are made. Forward-looking statements may often be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “goals,” “objectives,” “intends,” “seeks,” “likely,” “should,” “may,” “could” and other similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements may include, among other things and without limitation, statements about the credit quality of our loan portfolio, our liquidity, general economic conditions in the United States and in our markets, including with respect to interest rates and the market generally, the continued impact on our customers from volatility in oil and gas prices, the material risks and uncertainties for the U.S. and world economies, and for our business, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations regarding rates of default and loan losses, volatility in the mortgage industry, our business strategies (including new lines of business, products and services) and our expectations about future financial performance, future growth and earnings, the appropriateness of our allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses, the impact of changing regulatory requirements and legislative changes on our business, increased competition, and technologies (including new technologies and information security risks).
Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are based on management’s expectations and assumptions at the time the statements are made and are not guarantees of future results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
Deterioration of the credit quality of our loan portfolio or declines in the value of collateral due to external factors or otherwise.
The unpredictability of economic and business conditions that may impact us or our customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic on us and our customers, employees and third-party service providers. It is not possible to accurately predict the extent, severity or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or to what level and when normal economic and operational conditions will return and remain. This includes related costs and liabilities associated with legal and regulatory proceedings, investigations, inquiries and related matters with respect to the financial services industry, including those directly involving us or our Bank and arising from our participation in government stimulus programs responding to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our ability to effectively manage our liquidity risk and any growth plans and the availability of capital and funding to us.
Our ability to effectively manage our information technology systems (including external vendors), on which we are highly dependent. This also includes our ability to, among other things, manage such risks and to prevent cyber-incidents against us, our customers or our third-party vendors, or to manage risks from failures, disruptions or security breaches affecting us, our customers or our third-party vendors.
The costs and effects of cyber-incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches of our systems or those of our third-party providers.
Changes in interest rates.
Changes in the method of determining LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate.
Adverse or unexpected economic or market conditions and other factors in Texas, the United States or internationally that could affect the credit quality of our loan portfolio, our operating performance or our ability to access the capital markets or other sources of funding to become less advantageous.

Overview of Our Business Operations
We commenced our banking operations in December 1998. An important aspect of our growth strategy has been our ability to effectively service and manage a large number of loans and deposit accounts in multiple markets in Texas, as well as several lines of business serving a regional or national clientele of commercial borrowers. Early in 2021, we embarked on an enterprise-wide transformation which included detailed reviews of all of our business lines, our operating model, our investment spend and our overall strategy, which resulted in the September 1, 2021 announcement by management of our new long-term strategy. This new long-term strategy is intended to ensure that we are best positioned to serve clients and capitalize on business opportunities going forward. This new plan includes focusing on building an operating model organized around client delivery and investing in technology. To achieve these goals we are pursuing an aggressive hiring plan to significantly increase the number of client-facing professionals by 2025, and we are also investing in new technologies and lines of business to become a full-service financial services firm for our clients, with the goal of improving client relationships and fee income. We are investing in treasury solutions product and service offerings, building on our existing private wealth business and expanding the scope of our investment banking product and service offerings.
In May 2021 the Bank applied to the Texas Department of Banking to convert from a national association to a Texas state-chartered bank. The application was approved during the third quarter and the conversion was effective at open of business on September 15, 2021. Effective as of the date of conversion, the Texas Department of Banking is the Bank’s primary regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is the Bank’s primary federal regulator and the Federal Reserve will continue to be the Company’s primary federal regulator.
In December 2021, the Company received approval from the SEC and FINRA for registration and FINRA membership of TCBI Securities, a wholly owned non-bank subsidiary of the Bank. TCBI Securities will provide investment banking products and services to our customers.
Significant transactions affecting our financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2021 included:
Issuance of 5.75% fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B and issuance and sale of 12,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock. Net proceeds from the sale totaled $289.7 million. The additional equity is being used for general corporate purposes, including funding regulatory capital infusions into the Bank, and was used to redeem our 6.5% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series A, par value $0.01 per share, in accordance with its terms;
Issuance of $275.0 million in senior unsecured credit-linked notes that mature on September 30, 2024. The net proceeds of the offering are being used to expand the Bank's warehouse lending program and better serve our clients in all market environments;
Sale of our portfolio of MSRs and transition of the MCA program to a third-party. For additional information, see Note 5 - Certain Transfers of Financial Assets in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report;
Issuance and sale of $375.0 million of 4.00% fixed-to-fixed rate subordinated notes due 2031. For additional information, see Note 11 - Long-Term Debt in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report;
Redemption of our 6.50% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series A. For additional information, see Note 20 - Material Transactions Affecting Stockholders' Equity in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report;
Redemption of our 6.50% subordinated notes due 2042. For additional information, see Note 11 - Long-Term Debt in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report;
Negative provision for credit losses of $30.0 million for full year 2021, primarily reflecting improvements in the economic outlook as the economy recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2021 combined with a decrease in criticized loans; and
Write-off of $12.0 million of certain software assets to reposition our capitalized technology investment to align with the long-term strategy as announced by management in the third quarter of 2021.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the global community. The related restrictive measures taken by governments, businesses and individuals have caused and continue to cause uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. As the restrictive measures began to be eased during 2021, the U.S. economy has begun to

improve from 2020, and with the availability and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, we anticipate continued improvements in commercial and consumer activity and the U.S. economy.
Effective June 1, 2021, we returned to pre-pandemic business operations and brought 100% of our workforce back into the office. Our branch locations are currently open and operating during normal business hours. We continue to take additional precautions within our branch locations, including enhanced cleaning procedures, to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees.
We have taken deliberative actions toward our goal of ensuring that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities, including by seeking to increase our liquidity and manage our assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position; however, future economic conditions are subject to significant uncertainty. Uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic include the duration of any COVID-19 outbreaks and any related variants, the availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, the impact to our customers, employees and vendors and the impact to the economy as a whole. COVID-19 had a significant adverse impact on our business, financial position and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020. While the economy began to recover in 2021, uncertainty still exists, but we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present economic environment.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $768.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $851.3 million for 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in total average loans and earning asset yields, partially offset by an increase in average investment securities as well as declining cost of funds.
Average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $717.1 million compared to the same period in 2020, and included a $2.7 billion increase in average total investment securities, reflecting the deployment of excess liquidity into higher-yielding investment securities, and an $894.5 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, partially offset by a $2.8 billion decrease in average total loans. Throughout 2020, management took deliberate actions to increase the balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks to ensure we had the balance sheet strength to serve our clients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, balances remained elevated, although began to run off in the later part of the year as we purchased investment securities and proactively exited certain high-cost indexed deposit products. The decrease in average loans held for sale resulted from the transition of the MCA program to a third-party in 2021. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $3.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a $3.0 billion decrease in average interest-bearing deposits and a $716.1 million decrease in other borrowings, partially offset by a $406.4 million increase in average long-term debt. Average demand deposits for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased to $15.2 billion from $11.6 billion for 2020.
Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 2.07% compared to 2.34% for 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of declining interest rates on earning asset yields and a shift in earning asset composition, primarily increases in lower-yielding investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, partially offset by lower funding costs compared to 2020.
The yield on total loans held for investment, net, decreased to 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.88% for 2020 and the yield on earning assets decreased to 2.36% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2.86% for 2020. The average cost of total deposits decreased to 0.21% for 2021 from 0.47% for 2020 and total funding costs, including all deposits, long-term debt and stockholders' equity decreased to 0.28% for 2021 compared to 0.51% for 2020.

Non-interest income decreased by $64.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 to $138.2 million, compared to $203.0 million for 2020. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in net gain/(loss) on sale of loans held for sale, brokered loan fees and servicing income, all resulting from the 2021 sale of our MSR portfolio and transition of the MCA program to a third-party. Offsetting these decreases were increases in service charges, related to a change in fee structure for our deposits on analysis, wealth management and trust fee income, related to increases in assets under management and market values, and in other non-interest income, primarily related to a gain on the sale of a foreclosed asset.

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $105.3 million compared to 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in marketing, legal, communication and technology expenses, servicing-related expenses and merger-related expenses, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits, resulting primarily from increased headcount in 2021. The decrease in servicing-related expenses resulted from the 2021 sale of our MSR portfolio and transition of the MCA program to a third-party. Communications and technology expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 included a $12.0 million write-off of certain software assets, as is discussed above, compared to $36.0 million included in the same period of 2020.
Analysis of Financial Condition
Loans Held for Investment
The following table summarizes our loans held for investment on a gross basis by portfolio segment. See Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for details of these portfolio segments.

Gross loans held for investment were $22.9 billion at December 31, 2021, a decline of $1.6 billion from 2020, primarily due to declines in mortgage finance and real estate loans, partially offset by an increase in commercial loans. Mortgage finance loans

Table of Contents
relate to our mortgage warehouse lending operations in which we purchase mortgage loan ownership interests that are typically sold within 10 to 20 days and represent 33% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2021 compared to 37% at December 31, 2020. Volumes fluctuate based on the level of market demand for the product and the number of days between purchase and sale of the loans, which can be affected by changes in overall market interest rates, and tend to peak at the end of each month. Despite the decline in 2021, balances in this portfolio remain elevated related to increases in volumes driven by continued lower long-term interest rates. The decline in the real estate loan portfolio was primarily due to above-average payoffs during 2021.
We originate a substantial majority of all loans held for investment. We also participate in syndicated loan relationships, both as a participant and as an agent. As of December 31, 2021, we had $2.5 billion in syndicated loans, $688.2 million of which we administer as agent. All syndicated loans, whether we act as agent or participant, are underwritten to the same standards as all other loans we originate. As of December 31, 2021, $9.6 million of our syndicated loans were on non-accrual.
Portfolio Concentrations
Although more than 50% of our total loan exposure is outside of Texas and more than 50% of our deposits are sourced outside of Texas, our Texas concentration remains significant. As of December 31, 2021, a majority of our loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, were to businesses with headquarters or operations in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects our loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this state. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses.
The table below summarizes the industry concentrations of our loans held for investment on a gross basis at December 31, 2021:

Our largest concentration of commercial loans held for investment in any single industry is in financials excluding banks. Loans extended to borrowers in the financials excluding banks category are comprised largely of loans to companies who loan money to businesses and consumers for various purposes including, but not limited to, insurance, consumer goods and real estate. This category also includes loans to companies involved in investment management and securities and commodities trading. The next largest industry concentration of commercial loans held for investment is to commercial borrowers providing services to the real estate industry. Loans in this category are not secured by real property and are generally made to commercial borrowers that operate within the real estate industry, which include developers, contractors, professional service providers (such as architectural and interior design services), leasing, management, and other support type services.

As noted in the tables above, approximately 21% of our loans held for investment as of December 31, 2021 are real estate loans that are generally secured by real property. This portfolio primarily includes market risk real estate loans, consisting of commercial real estate loans and loans made to residential builders and developers. Loan amounts are determined in part from an analysis of pro forma cash flows. Loans are also underwritten to comply with product-type specific advance rates against both cost and market value. We extend commercial real estate loans, including both construction/development financing and limited term financing, to professional real estate developers and owners/managers of commercial real estate projects and properties who have a demonstrated record of past success with similar properties. Collateral properties generally include office buildings, warehouse/distribution buildings, shopping centers, hotels/motels, senior living, apartment buildings and residential and commercial tract development. The primary source of repayment on these loans is expected to come from the sale, permanent financing or lease of the real property collateral. Loans to residential builders are typically in the form of uncommitted guidance lines and are for the purpose of developing lots into single-family homes, while loans to developers are typically in the form of borrowing base lines extended for the purpose of acquiring and developing raw land into lots that can be further sold to home builders. The table below summarizes our total real estate loan portfolio, which includes real estate loans and construction loans, as segregated by the type of property securing the credit.

The determination of collateral value is critically important when financing real estate. As a result, obtaining current and objectively prepared appraisals is a major part of our underwriting and monitoring processes. We engage a variety of professional firms to supply appraisals, market studies and feasibility reports, environmental assessments and project site inspections to complement our internal resources to underwrite and monitor these credit exposures. Generally, our policy requires a new appraisal every three years. However, in periods of economic uncertainty where real estate market conditions may change rapidly, more current appraisals are obtained when warranted by conditions such as a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, their possible inability to perform on the loan or other indicators of increasing risk of reliance on collateral value as the sole source of repayment of the loan. Annual appraisals are generally obtained for loans graded substandard or worse where real estate is a material portion of the collateral value and/or the income from the real estate or sale of the real estate is the primary source of debt service.
Appraisals are, in substantially all cases, reviewed by a third party to determine the reasonableness of the appraised value. The third party reviewer will challenge whether or not the data used is appropriate and relevant, form an opinion as to the appropriateness of the appraisal methods and techniques used, and determine if overall the analysis and conclusions of the appraiser can be relied upon. Additionally, the third party reviewer provides a detailed report of that analysis. Further review may be conducted by our credit officers, as well as by the Bank’s managed asset committee as conditions warrant. These additional steps of review are undertaken to confirm that the underlying appraisal and the third party analysis can be relied upon. If we have differences, we address those with the reviewer and determine an appropriate resolution. Both the appraisal process and the appraisal review process can be less reliable in establishing accurate collateral values during and following periods of economic weakness due to the lack of comparable sales and the limited availability of financing to support an active market of potential purchasers.
Large Credit Relationships
We originate and maintain large credit relationships with numerous customers in the ordinary course of business. The legal lending limit of our Bank is approximately $536.7 million. We employ much lower house limits which vary by assigned risk grade, product and collateral type. Such house limits, which generally range from $20 million to $60 million, may be exceeded with appropriate authorization for exceptionally strong borrowers and otherwise where business opportunity and assessed credit risk warrant a somewhat larger investment. We consider large credit relationships to be those with commitments equal to or in excess of $20.0 million.

Interest Reserve Loans
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $456.1 million and $549.1 million, respectively, in loans held for investment that included interest reserve arrangements, representing approximately 25% and 23%, respectively, of outstanding construction loans, which are a component of real estate loans. Interest reserve provisions are common in construction loans. The use of interest reserves is carefully controlled by our underwriting standards, which consider the feasibility of the project, the creditworthiness of the borrower and guarantors and the loan-to-value coverage of the collateral. The interest reserve allows the borrower to draw loan funds to pay interest charges on the outstanding balance of the loan when financial conditions precedent are met. When drawn, the interest is capitalized and added to the loan balance, subject to conditions specified during the initial underwriting and at the time the credit is approved. We have ongoing controls for monitoring compliance with loan covenants, advancing funds and determining default conditions.
When we finance land on which improvements will be constructed, construction funds are generally not advanced until the borrower has received lease or purchase commitments which will meet cash flow coverage requirements and/or our analysis of market conditions and project feasibility indicates to our satisfaction that such lease or purchase commitments are forthcoming or other sources of repayment have been identified to repay the loan. It is our general policy to require a substantial equity investment by the borrower to complement the Bank's credit commitment. Any such required borrower investment is first contributed and invested in the project before any draws are allowed under the Bank's credit commitment. We require current financial statements of the borrowing entity and guarantors, as well as conduct periodic inspections of the project and analysis of whether the project is on schedule or delayed. Updated appraisals are ordered when necessary to validate the collateral values to support advances, including reserve interest. Advances of interest reserves are discontinued if collateral values do not support the advances or if the borrower does not comply with other terms and conditions in the loan agreements. In addition, most of our construction lending is performed in Texas and our lenders are very familiar with trends in local real estate. If at any time we believe that our collateral position is jeopardized, we retain the right to stop the use of interest reserves. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our loans with interest reserves were on non-accrual.

(2)At December 31, 2021 and 2020, loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $3.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively.
(3)Includes one non-accrual loan previously reported in loans held for investment that was transferred to loans held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and subsequently sold at carrying value.
(4)Includes loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that were repurchased out of Ginnie Mae securities. Loans are recorded as loans held for sale and carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Interest on these past due loans accrues at the debenture rate guaranteed by the U.S. government. Balances as of December 31, 2020 also include loans that, pursuant to Ginnie Mae servicing guidelines, we have the unilateral right, but not the obligation, to repurchase if defined delinquent loan criteria are met and therefore must record as loans held for sale on our balance sheet regardless of whether the repurchase option has been exercised.
Total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2021 decreased $49.5 million from December 31, 2020. The decrease during 2021 primarily related to declines in energy and real estate non-accrual loans.
Summary of Credit Loss Experience
The provision for credit losses, comprised of a provision for loans and off-balance sheet credit losses, is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Below is a discussion of provision for credit losses on loans. See Note 12 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for presentation of the activity in the allowance for credit losses for off-balance asset credit losses.
We recorded a negative $29.8 million provision for credit losses on loans for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a $249.8 million provision for the year ended December 31, 2020. The year-over-year decrease resulted primarily from decreases in net charge-offs and criticized loans, as well as improvements in the economic outlook as the economy recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2021. We recorded $12.9 million in net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $198.8 million during 2020. Criticized loans totaled $582.9 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $918.4 million at December 31, 2020.

Loans Held for Sale
On April 20, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our portfolio of MSRs and to transition the MCA program to a third-party. The sale was completed on June 1, 2021 and the transfer of servicing on the underlying mortgage loans was completed on August 1, 2021. Transition activities began immediately following the execution of the agreement and were complete prior to December 31, 2021. We sold the remaining MSR balance of $1.2 million, which represented MSRs from loans sold after the cut-off date for the initial sale mentioned above. The sale of this MSR portfolio and the transfer of servicing on the underlying mortgage loans were completed on October 1, 2021, at which time all remaining MSR hedge positions were closed. At December 31, 2021, we have $8.1 million in loans held for sale remaining on our balance sheet. For additional information on our loans held for sale portfolio, see Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 - Certain Transfers of Financial Assets in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Deposits
We compete for deposits by offering a broad range of products and services to our customers. While this includes offering competitive interest rates and fees, the primary means of competing for deposits is convenience and service to our customers, tailored to our strategy of maintaining a branch-lite network. Our Bank offers banking centers, courier services and online and mobile banking. BankDirect and Bask Bank, our online banking divisions, serve customers on a 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week basis solely through online banking.
Average total deposits for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $659.0 million compared to 2020. Average demand deposits for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $3.6 billion compared to 2020 and average interest-bearing deposits decreased $3.0 billion. The average cost of total deposits decreased to 0.21% in 2021 from 0.47% in 2020 as we proactively exited certain high-cost indexed deposit products in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objectives in managing our liquidity are to maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, repurchase investment securities and repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies, formulated and monitored by our senior management and our Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which take into account the demonstrated marketability of our assets, the sources and stability of our funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Our principal source of funding is customer deposits, supplemented by short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings, which are generally used to fund mortgage finance assets. We also rely on the availability of the mortgage secondary market provided by Ginnie Mae and the GSEs to support the liquidity of our mortgage finance assets.
Throughout 2020 we significantly increased our interest-bearing deposits in other banks to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients during the COVID-19 pandemic. These balances have remained elevated during 2021, although they are beginning to run off as we have purchased investment securities and proactively exited certain high-cost indexed deposit products. The following table summarizes these balances:

Our liquidity needs to support growth in loans held for investment have been fulfilled primarily through growth in our core customer deposits. Our goal is to obtain as much of our funding for loans held for investment and other earning assets as possible from deposits of these core customers. These deposits are generated principally through development of long-term customer relationships, with a significant focus on treasury management products. In addition to deposits from our core customers, we also have access to deposits through brokered customer relationships.
We also have access to incremental deposits through brokered retail certificates of deposit, or CDs. These traditional brokered deposits are generally of short maturities and are used to fund temporary differences in the growth in loan balances as compared to customer deposits. The following table summarizes our period-end and average core customer deposits, relationship brokered deposits and traditional brokered deposits:

We have short-term borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. Such borrowings are generally used to fund our mortgage finance loans, due to their liquidity, short duration and interest spreads available. These borrowing sources include federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are smaller than our Bank) and from our upstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are larger than our Bank), customer repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve. The following table summarizes our short-term and other borrowings, all of which mature within one year:

For additional information on our short-term borrowings, see Note 10 - Short-Term and Other Borrowings in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
We also have long-term debt outstanding of $928.7 million as of December 31, 2021, comprised of trust preferred securities, subordinated notes and senior unsecured credit linked notes with maturity dates ranging from September 2024 to December 2036. See Note 11 - Long-Term Debt in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information. The Company may consider raising additional capital, if needed, in public or private offerings of debt or equity securities to supplement deposits and meet our long-term funding needs.
As the Company is a holding company and is a separate operating entity from our subsidiary bank, our primary sources of liquidity are dividends received from the Bank and borrowings from outside sources. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. See Note 13 - Regulatory Restrictions in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding dividend restrictions and “Liquidity Risks” included in Part I, Item 1A of this report.
As of December 31, 2021, management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity that would have a material adverse effect on us.
Capital Resources
Our equity capital averaged $3.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $2.8 billion in 2020. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since we commenced operations and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
For additional information on our capital and stockholders’ equity, Note 13 - Regulatory Restrictions and Note 20 - Material Transactions Affecting Stockholders’ Equity, respectively, in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
SEC guidance requires disclosure of “critical accounting estimates.” The SEC defines “critical accounting estimates” as those estimates made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the registrant.
We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The more significant of these policies are summarized in Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Not all significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. However, the policy noted below could be deemed to meet the SEC’s definition of a critical accounting policy.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for credit losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 326, Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on
49


the loans. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the loan portfolio is segregated by product types in order to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. 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. Adjustments to historical loss information are made to incorporate our reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses at the portfolio segment level, as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments using a Portfolio Level Qualitative Factor (“PLQF”) and/or a Portfolio Segment Level Qualitative Factor (“SLQF”). The PLQF and SLQF are utilized to address factors that are not present in historical loss rates and are otherwise unaccounted for in the quantitative process. A reserve is recorded upon origination or purchase of a loan. See “Summary of Credit Loss Experience” above and Note 4 - Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion of the risk factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. Additionally, the financial instruments subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading purposes or held for other than trading.
We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets held for purposes other than trading. Additionally, we have some market risk relative to commodity prices through our energy lending activities. Declines and volatility in commodity prices negatively impacted our energy clients' ability to perform on their loan obligations in recent years, and further uncertainty and volatility could have a negative impact on our customers and our loan portfolio in future periods. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices (other than energy) and equity prices are not expected to pose significant market risk to us.
The responsibility for managing market risk rests with the ALCO, which operates under policy guidelines established by our board of directors. The acceptable negative variation in net interest revenue due to a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates is generally limited by these guidelines to plus or minus 10-12%. These guidelines establish maximum levels for short-term borrowings, short-term assets and public and brokered deposits and minimum levels for liquidity, among other things. Oversight of our compliance with these guidelines is the ongoing responsibility of the ALCO, with exceptions reported to the Executive Risk Committee, and to our board of directors if necessary, on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Credit Policy Committee (“CPC”) specifically manages risk relative to commodity price market risks. The CPC establishes maximum portfolio concentration levels for energy loans as well as maximum advance rates for energy collateral.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Our interest rate sensitivity is illustrated in the following table. The table reflects rate-sensitive positions as of December 31, 2021, and is not necessarily indicative of positions on other dates. The balances of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are presented in the periods in which they next reprice to market rates or mature and are aggregated to show the interest rate sensitivity gap. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time period is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate-sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite results on the net interest margin. To reflect anticipated prepayments, certain asset and liability categories are shown in the table using estimated cash flows rather than contractual cash flows. The Company employs interest rate floors in certain variable rate loans to enhance the yield on those loans at times when market interest rates are extraordinarily low. The degree of asset sensitivity, spreads on loans and net interest margin may be reduced until rates increase by an amount sufficient to eliminate the effects of floors. The adverse effect of floors as market rates increase may also be offset by the positive gap, the extent to which rates on deposits and other funding sources lag increasing market rates for loans and changes in composition of funding.

While a gap interest table is useful in analyzing interest rate sensitivity, an interest rate sensitivity simulation provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Earnings are also affected by the effects of changing interest rates on the value of funding derived from demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. We perform a sensitivity analysis to identify interest rate risk exposure on net interest income. We quantify and measure interest rate risk exposure using a model to dynamically simulate the effect of changes in net interest income relative to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months based on three interest rate scenarios. These are a static rate scenario and two “shock test” scenarios.
These scenarios are based on interest rates as of the last day of a reporting period published by independent sources and incorporate relevant spreads of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. The Federal Reserve’s federal funds target affects short-term borrowing; the prime lending rate, LIBOR and other alternative indexes are the basis for most of our variable-rate loan pricing. The 10-year treasury rate is also monitored because of its effect on prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities. These are our primary interest rate exposures. We are currently not using derivatives to manage our interest rate exposure, although we may do so in the future if that appears advisable.
For modeling purposes, the “shock test” scenarios as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 assume immediate, sustained 100 and 200 basis point increases in interest rates. As short-term rates declined during 2020 and remained low throughout 2021, we do not believe that analysis of an assumed decrease in interest rates would provide meaningful results. We will continue to evaluate these scenarios as interest rates change.
Our interest rate risk exposure model incorporates assumptions regarding the level of interest rate on indeterminable maturity deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts) for a given level of market rate change. In the current environment of decreasing short-term rates, deposit pricing can vary by product and customer. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and projection of future expected pricing behavior. Changes in prepayment behavior of mortgage-backed securities, residential and commercial mortgage loans in each rate environment are captured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon segments of the portfolio. The impact of these changes is factored into the simulation model. This modeling indicated interest rate sensitivity as follows:
  Anticipated Impact Over the Next
Twelve Months as Compared to Most Likely Scenario
  
December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
(in thousands) 100 bps Increase 200 bps Increase 100 bps Increase 200 bps Increase
Change in net interest income $ 48,802  $ 124,986  $ 35,286  $ 87,613 
The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.
In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would no longer compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) after 2021. The administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023 and to cease publishing other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The U.S. federal banking agencies issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. We have significant exposure to financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR to establish their interest rate and/or value, some of which mature after December 31, 2021. We have established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the Company, to monitor developments relating to LIBOR changes and to guide the Bank’s response. This team is continuing to work to ensure that our technology systems are prepared for the transition, our loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders are apprised of the transition. Based on our transition progress to date, we have ceased originating LIBOR-based products and began originating Bloomberg Short Term Yield Index based loans in December 2021. We are prepared with other alternative benchmarks, as necessary, to support the transition from LIBOR. Over the next 18 months, we will continue to transition all remaining LIBOR-based products to an alternative benchmark. We will also continue to evaluate the transition process and align our trajectory with regulatory guidelines regarding the cessation of LIBOR as well as monitor new developments for transitioning to alternative reference rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 9, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for accounting for credit losses in 2020.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
Description of the Matter
The Company’s loans held for investment portfolio totaled $22.8 billion as of December 31, 2021, and the associated allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $229.1 million. The ACL represents management’s best estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of loans and for off-balance sheet commitments. The ACL is estimated using relevant available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as qualitative adjustments using a Portfolio Level Qualitative Factor and/or Portfolio Segment Level Qualitative Factor (collectively the “qualitative factors”). The qualitative factors are used to bring the ACL to the level management believes is appropriate based on factors that are otherwise unaccounted for in the quantitative process. The ACL also includes reserves for loans evaluated on an individual basis, such as certain loans graded substandard or worse. Management applies judgment in the determination and usage of the qualitative factors, and in the use of a single or a blend of forecast scenarios used to calculate the reasonable and supportable forecast.
Auditing management’s estimate of the ACL is complex due to the models utilized and involves a high degree of subjectivity due to the judgment required in evaluating management’s determination and usage of the qualitative factors, and in the use of a single or blend of forecast scenarios used to calculate the reasonable and supportable forecast.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our considerations and procedures performed included evaluation of the process utilized by management to challenge the model results and determine the best estimate of the ACL as of the balance sheet date. We obtained an understanding of the Company’s process for establishing the ACL, including determination and usage of the qualitative factors and determination of a single or blend of multiple forecast scenarios used to calculate the reasonable and supportable forecast. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls associated with the ACL process, including controls around the reliability and accuracy of data used in the model, management’s review and approval of the selected qualitative factors, the single or blend of multiple forecast scenarios used to calculate the reasonable and supportable forecast, the governance of the credit loss methodology, and management’s review and approval of the ACL.
We performed specific substantive tests of the models utilized, qualitative factors and the single or blend of forecast scenarios used to calculate the reasonable and supportable forecast. We involved EY specialists to assist in testing management models including evaluating model methodology and key modeling assumptions, as well as the appropriateness of management’s qualitative and reasonable and supportable forecast framework. We evaluated if the qualitative factors were applied based on a comprehensive framework and compared the adjustments utilized by management to both internal portfolio metrics and external macroeconomic data (as applicable) to support the adjustments and evaluate trends in such adjustments. We searched for and evaluated information that corroborates or contradicts management’s reasonable and supportable forecast as well as identification and measurement of qualitative factors. In addition, we evaluated the Company’s estimate of the overall ACL, giving consideration to the Company’s borrowers, loan portfolio, and macroeconomic trends, independently obtained and compared such information to comparable financial institutions and considered whether new or contrary information existed.

(1) Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Business
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “TCBI” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in November 1996 and commenced banking operations in December 1998. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank (the “Bank”).
We serve the needs of commercial businesses and professionals and entrepreneurs located in Texas as well as operate several lines of business serving a regional or national clientele of commercial borrowers. We are primarily a secured lender, with the majority of our loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, being made to businesses headquartered or with operations in Texas. Our national lines of business provide specialized lending products to businesses throughout the United States.
In May 2021 the Bank applied to the Texas Department of Banking to convert from a national association to a Texas state-chartered bank. The application was approved during the third quarter and the conversion was effective at open of business on September 15, 2021. Effective as of the date of conversion, the Texas Department of Banking is the Bank’s primary regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is the Bank’s primary federal regulator, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”).
Basis of Presentation
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and to generally accepted practices within the banking industry. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
In December 2021, the Company received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for broker-dealer registration and FINRA membership of TCBI Securities, a wholly owned non-bank subsidiary of the Bank. As a result, we are establishing a policy regarding the accounting for loan syndication fees and reclassifying prior period financial statements to conform to this policy. Refer to the Revenue Recognition section of this footnote for this accounting policy. Such reclassifications are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to both current and all previously issued financial statements taken as a whole and have no effect on previously reported consolidated net income.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses, the fair value of financial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to significant change.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is based on net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding non-vested stock-settled awards. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of non-vested stock-settled awards granted using the treasury stock method.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Unrealized gains or losses on our available-for-sale debt securities, net of applicable income tax expense or benefit, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net (“AOCI”) in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Changes to AOCI are reported on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
60


GAAP does not permit the adjustment of tax amounts in AOCI for changes in tax rates; as a result the effects become “stranded” in AOCI. Stranded tax effects caused by the 2018 revaluation of deferred taxes resulting from the corporate tax rates established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) are reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings in accordance with our early adoption of ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold.
Investment Securities
Investment securities include debt securities and equity securities.
Debt Securities
Debt securities are classified as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. Management classifies securities at the time of purchase and re-assesses such designation at each balance sheet date.
Trading Account
Debt securities acquired for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as trading and recorded at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in income.
Held-to-Maturity
Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
Available-for-Sale
Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of AOCI. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the securities’ amortized cost basis is written down to fair value as a current period expense. If either of the above criteria is not met, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance of any underlying collateral and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit losses, limited to the amount by which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in AOCI, net of tax, as a non credit-related impairment.
The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization and accretion are included in interest income from investment securities. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in other non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
We have made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale debt securities and report accrued interest separately in accrued interest and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Available-for-sale debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on non-accrual status. Accordingly, we do not recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable.
Included in debt securities available-for-sale are credit risk transfer (“CRT”) securities. CRT securities represent unsecured obligations issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) such as Freddie Mac and are designed to transfer mortgage credit risk from the GSE to private investors. CRT securities are structured to be subject to the performance of a reference pool of mortgage loans in which we share in 50% of the first losses with the GSE. If the reference pool incurs losses, the amount we will recover on the notes is reduced by our share of the amount of such losses, which could potentially be up to 100% of the amount outstanding. Unrealized losses recognized in AOCI for the CRT securities are primarily related to the difference between the current market rate for similar securities and the stated interest rate and are not considered to be related to credit loss events. The CRT securities are generally interest-only for an initial period of time and may be restricted from being transferred until a future date.
61


Equity Securities
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less any impairment, if any.
Loans
Loans Held for Sale
We transitioned our mortgage correspondent aggregation (“MCA”) program to a third party in 2021. Prior to transition, we committed to purchase residential mortgage loans from independent correspondent lenders and delivered those loans into the secondary market via whole loan sales to independent third parties or in securitization transactions to third parties such as Ginnie Mae or to GSEs. In some cases, we retained the mortgage servicing rights. Once purchased, these loans were classified as held for sale and carried at fair value pursuant to our election of the fair value option in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments. At the commitment date, we entered into a corresponding forward sale commitment with a third party, typically Ginnie Mae or a GSE, to deliver the loans within a specified timeframe. The estimated gain/(loss) for the entire transaction (from initial purchase commitment to final delivery of loans) was recorded as an asset or liability.
The fair value of loans held for sale is derived from observable current market prices, when available, and includes the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. Adjustments to reflect unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and realized gains and losses upon ultimate sale of the loans are classified as gain/(loss) on sale of loans held for sale on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Residential mortgage loans held for sale are subject to both credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is partially managed through forward sales contracts, which set the price for loans that will be delivered in the next 60 to 90 days.
Pursuant to Ginnie Mae servicing guidelines, we have the unilateral right, but not the obligation, to repurchase certain delinquent loans securitized in Ginnie Mae pools, if they meet defined delinquent loan criteria. Once the delinquency criteria have been met, and regardless of whether the repurchase option has been exercised, we account for these loans as if they had been repurchased and recognize the loans and a corresponding liability as loans held for sale and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. If the loans are actually repurchased, the liability is extinguished and the loans continue to be reported as held for sale. As a Ginnie Mae approved lender, we may recover losses incurred on repurchased loans through a claims process with the government agency.
From time to time we hold for sale the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration 7(a) loans, which are carried at lower of cost or market.
Loans Held for Investment
Loans held for investment (including financing leases) are stated at the amount of unpaid principal reduced by unearned income (net of costs). Interest on loans is recognized using the simple interest method on the daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, and commitment fees are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan, or over the commitment period, as applicable.
Restructured loans are loans on which, due to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider for borrowers of similar credit quality. This may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the borrower, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. Modifications of terms that could potentially qualify as a restructuring include reduction of contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at a contractual interest rate lower than the current rate for new debt with similar risk, an adjustment to payment terms, a reduction of the face amount of debt or forgiveness of either principal or accrued interest. A loan continues to qualify as restructured until a consistent payment history or change in the borrower’s financial condition has been evidenced, generally for no less than twelve months. If the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate at the time of the restructuring that is greater than or equal to the rate that we are willing to accept for a new extension of credit with comparable risk, then the loan is no longer considered a restructuring if it is in compliance with the modified terms in calendar years after the year of the restructure.
A loan is considered past due when a contractually due payment has not been received by the contractual due date. We place a loan on non-accrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed as a reduction of current period interest income. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be collectible. If collectability is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both
62


principal and interest are current and it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.
Loans held for investment includes legal ownership interests in mortgage loans that we purchase through our mortgage finance division. The ownership interests are purchased from unaffiliated mortgage originators who are seeking additional liquidity to facilitate their ability to originate loans. The mortgage originator has no obligation to offer and we have no obligation to purchase these interests. The originator closes mortgage loans consistent with underwriting standards established by approved investors, and, at the time of the sale to the investor, our ownership interest and that of the originator are delivered by us to the investor selected by the originator and approved by us. We typically purchase up to a 99% ownership interest in each mortgage with the originator owning the remaining percentage. These mortgage ownership interests are generally held by us for a period of less than 30 days and more typically 10-20 days. Because of conditions in agreements with originators designed to reduce transaction risks, under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets (“ASC 860”), the ownership interests do not qualify as participating interests. Under ASC 860, the ownership interests are deemed to be loans to the originators and payments we receive from investors are deemed to be payments made by or on behalf of the originator to repay the loan. Because we have an actual, legal ownership interest in the underlying residential mortgage loan, these interests are reported as extensions of credit to the originators that are secured by the mortgage loans as collateral.
Due to market conditions or events of default by the investor or the originator, we could be required to purchase the remaining interests in the mortgage loans and hold them beyond the expected 10-20 days. Mortgage loans acquired under these conditions would require mark-to-market adjustments to income and could require further allocations of the allowance for credit losses or be subject to charge-off in the event the loans become impaired.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which uses the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to determine the allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)".
We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, off-balance sheet credit exposures and net investments in leases. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for loan losses was based on incurred credit losses in accordance with accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019.
The following is our discussion of the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment. See “Investment Securities - Available-for-Sale” above for discussion of the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
The CECL methodology recognizes lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. 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, credit quality, or term, as well as for changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, crude oil prices, property values or other relevant factors.
The allowance for credit losses is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Reserves on loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. In order to determine the allowance for credit losses, all loans are assigned a credit grade. Loans graded substandard or worse and greater than $500,000 are specifically reviewed for loss potential and when deemed appropriate are assigned a reserve based on an individual evaluation. For purposes of determining the pool-basis reserve, the remainder of the portfolio, representing all loans not assigned an individual reserve, is segregated first by portfolio segment, then by product type, to recognize differing risk profiles within portfolio segments, and finally by credit grade. Each credit grade within each product type is assigned a historical loss rate. These historical loss rates are then modified to incorporate our reasonable and
63


supportable forecast of future losses at the portfolio segment level, as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments using a Portfolio Level Qualitative Factor (“PLQF”) and/or a Portfolio Segment Level Qualitative Factor (“SLQF”). These modified historical loss rates are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of each loan to calculate a required reserve. A similar process is employed to calculate a reserve assigned to off-balance sheet commitments, specifically unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit, and any needed reserve is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The PLQF and SLQF are utilized to address factors that are not present in historical loss rates and are otherwise unaccounted for in the quantitative process. The PLQF is used to apply a qualitative adjustment across the entire portfolio of loans, while the SLQF is designed to apply a qualitative adjustment across a single portfolio segment. Even though portions of the allowance may be allocated to specific loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
We generally use a two-year forecast period, based on a single forecast scenario or a blend of multiple forecast scenarios, using variables we believe are most relevant to each portfolio segment. For periods beyond which we are able to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts, we immediately revert to the average historical loss rate. The forecast period and scenario(s) used are reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted based on management's view of the current economic conditions and level of predictability the forecast can provide.
Portfolio segments are used to pool loans with similar risk characteristics and align with our methodology for measuring expected credit losses. A summary of our primary portfolio segments is as follows:
Commercial. Our commercial loan portfolio is comprised of lines of credit for working capital, term loans and leases to finance equipment and other business assets across a variety of industries. These loans are used for general corporate purposes including financing working capital, internal growth, acquisitions and business insurance premiums and are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets of our clients’ businesses. Our commercial loan portfolio also includes consumer loans because our small portfolio of consumer loans is largely comprised of accommodation loans to individuals associated with our commercial clients.
Energy. Our energy loan portfolio is primarily comprised of loans to exploration and production companies that are generally collateralized with proven reserves based on appropriate valuation standards that take into account the risk of oil and gas price volatility. The majority of this portfolio is first lien, senior secured, reserve-based lending, which we believe is the lowest-risk form of energy lending. Energy loans are impacted by commodity price volatility, as well as changes in consumer and business demand.
Mortgage finance. Mortgage finance loans relate to our mortgage warehouse lending operations in which we purchase mortgage loan ownership interests from unaffiliated mortgage originators that are generally held by us for a period of less than 30 days and more typically 10-20 days before they are sold to an approved investor. Volumes fluctuate based on the level of market demand for the product and the number of days between purchase and sale of the loans, which can be affected by changes in overall market interest rates and housing demand and tend to peak at the end of each month. Mortgage finance loans are consistently underwritten based on standards established by the approved investors. Market conditions or events of default by an investor or originator could require that we repurchase the remaining interests in the mortgage loans and hold them beyond the expected 10-20 days.
Real estate. Our real estate portfolio is comprised of the following types of loans:
Commercial real estate (“CRE”). Our CRE portfolio is comprised of both construction/development financing and limited term financing provided to professional real estate developers and owners/managers of commercial real estate projects and properties who have a demonstrated record of past success with similar properties. Collateral properties include office buildings, warehouse/distribution buildings, shopping centers, hotels/motels, senior living, apartment buildings and residential and commercial tract development. The primary source of repayment on these loans is expected to come from the sale, permanent financing or lease of the real property collateral. CRE loans are impacted by fluctuations in collateral values, as well as the ability of the borrower to obtain permanent financing.
Residential homebuilder finance (“RBF”). The RBF portfolio is comprised of loans made to residential builders and developers. Loans to residential builders are typically in the form of uncommitted guidance lines and are for the purpose of developing lots into single-family homes, while loans to developers are typically in the form of borrowing base lines extended for the purpose of acquiring and developing raw land into lots that can be further sold to home builders. RBF loans, if not structured and monitored correctly, can be impacted by volatility in consumer demand, as well as fluctuation in housing prices.
Secured by 1-4 family. This category of loans includes both first and second lien loans made for the purpose of purchasing or constructing 1-4 family residential dwellings, as well as home equity revolving lines of credit and loans to purchase lots for future construction of 1-4 family residential dwellings.
64


Other. The “other” category is primarily comprised of real estate loans originated through a Small Business Administration (SBA) program where repayment is partially guaranteed by the SBA, as well as other loans secured by real estate where the primary source of repayment is not expected to come from the sale or lease of the real property collateral.
We have several pass credit grades that are assigned to loans based on varying levels of risk, ranging from credits that are secured by cash or marketable securities, to watch credits which have all the characteristics of an acceptable credit risk but warrant more than the normal level of monitoring. Within our criticized/classified credit grades are special mention, substandard and doubtful. Special mention loans are those that are currently protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, but that are potentially weak and constitute an additional credit risk. These loans have the potential to deteriorate to a substandard grade due to the existence of financial or administrative deficiencies. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Some substandard loans are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower and of the collateral pledged and may be considered impaired. Substandard loans can be accruing or can be on non-accrual depending on the circumstances of the individual loans. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high. All doubtful loans are on non-accrual.
The methodology used in the estimation of the allowance, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and forecasted economic conditions. Changes are reflected in the pool-basis allowance and in reserves assigned on an individual basis as the collectability of classified loans is evaluated with new information. As our portfolio has matured, historical loss ratios have been closely monitored. The review of the appropriateness of the allowance is performed by executive management and presented to the audit and risk committees of our board of directors for their review. The committees report to the board as part of the board's review on a quarterly basis of our consolidated financial statements.
When management determines that foreclosure is probable, and for certain collateral-dependent loans where foreclosure is not considered probable, expected credit losses are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral adjusted for selling costs, when appropriate. A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, 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 that a loan will be restructured or the extension or renewal options are included in the borrower contract and are not unconditionally cancellable by us.
We do not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable balances because these balances are written off in a timely manner as a reduction to interest income when loans are placed on non-accrual status as discussed above.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”), which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, consists of real estate that has been foreclosed. When foreclosure occurs, the acquired asset is recorded at fair value less selling costs, generally based on appraised value, which may result in partial charge-off of the loan through a charge to the allowance for credit losses, if necessary. Subsequent write-downs required for declines in value are recorded through a valuation allowance, or taken directly to the asset, and are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on sale of OREO are recorded in other non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights, Net
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are created by selling mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. We identify classes of servicing rights based upon the nature of the underlying assumptions used to value the asset along with the risks associated with the underlying asset. Based upon these criteria we have one class of MSRs, residential.
MSRs are recognized based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage loans and the related servicing rights at the date of sale using values derived from a valuation model. MSRs are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, less a valuation allowance if the fair value of identified strata within the MSR portfolio are determined to have a fair value that is less than amortized cost. MSRs are amortized proportionally over the estimated life of the projected net servicing revenue and are periodically evaluated for impairment. From time to time we may sell MSRs. Gain/(loss) from the sale of MSRs is calculated as the difference between the amortized cost of the sold MSRs, adjusted for any valuation allowance, compared to the sales price. Loan servicing fee income represents income earned for servicing mortgage loans owned by investors and includes mortgage servicing fees and other ancillary servicing income. Servicing fees are recorded as income when earned and are reported in non-
65


interest income on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. MSR valuation allowance expense, gain/(loss) on the sale of MSRs and servicing related expenses are recorded in servicing-related expenses on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
The estimated fair value of the MSR assets is obtained from an independent third party and reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. MSRs typically do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices; as such, the fair value of MSRs is determined using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of the estimated future net servicing income. The assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model are based on market data for comparable assets, where available. Each quarter, management and the independent third party review the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model and make adjustments as necessary to estimate the fair value of the MSRs.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets are acquired assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Our intangible assets relate primarily to loan customer relationships purchased as part of business acquisitions. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated life. Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Premises and Equipment, Net
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and equipment is generally depreciated over three to five years, while leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over the term of their respective lease. Gains or losses on disposals of premises and equipment are included in other non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Software
Costs incurred in connection with development or purchase of internal use software and cloud computing arrangements, including in-substance software licenses, are capitalized. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which generally ranges from one to five years. Capitalized software is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company has undertaken certain guarantee obligations in the ordinary course of business which include liabilities with off-balance sheet risk. We consider the following arrangements to be guarantees: commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and indemnification agreements included within third party contractual arrangements.
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Commitments to extend credit do not include our mortgage finance arrangements with mortgage loan originators through our mortgage warehouse lending division, which are established as uncommitted “guidance” purchase and sale facilities under which the mortgage originator has no obligation to offer and we have no obligation to purchase interests in the mortgage loans subject to the arrangements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
In conjunction with the sale and securitization of loans held for sale and their related servicing rights, we may be exposed to liability resulting from recourse, repurchase and make-whole agreements. If it is determined subsequent to our sale of a loan or its related servicing rights that a breach of the representations or warranties made in the applicable sale agreement has occurred,
66


which may include guarantees that prepayments will not occur within a specified and customary time frame, we may have an obligation to either (a) repurchase the loan for the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser against any loss it suffers or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan and its related servicing rights.
Our repurchase, indemnification and make-whole obligations vary based upon the terms of the applicable agreements, the nature of the asserted breach and the status of the mortgage loan at the time a claim is made. We establish reserves for estimated losses of this nature inherent in the origination of mortgage loans by estimating the losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in claims and actual loss severities experienced. The reserve will include accruals for probable contingent losses in addition to those identified in the pipeline of claims received.
Leases
Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease agreements may contain extension options which typically provide for an extension of a lease term at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term. Our operating leases relate primarily to real estate used for corporate offices and bank branches and our finance leases relate primarily to equipment. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for our real estate leases.
For those leases with a term greater than one year, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental borrowing rate at the date the lease is executed and signed, which is based on our collateralized borrowing capabilities over a similar term as the related lease payments. ROU assets are further adjusted for lease incentives.
Operating leases in which we are the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, and are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in net occupancy expense on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Finance leases in which we are the lessee are recorded as finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities and are included in premises and equipment, net, and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease expense is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded in net occupancy expense on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, which is recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term and recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit, derivatives and investment securities, as well as revenue related to our mortgage servicing activities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our income statements as components of non-interest income are as follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts - these represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed, which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as a stop payment). Payments for these activities are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.
Wealth management and trust fee income - this represents monthly fees due from wealth management customers as consideration for managing the customers' assets. Wealth management and trust services include custody of assets, investment management, escrow services, fees for trust services and similar fiduciary activities. These fees are typically paid to us on a quarterly basis and recognized ratably throughout the quarter as our performance obligation is satisfied each month.
67


Brokered loan fees - these represent fees for the administration and funding of purchased mortgage loan interests as well as facility renewal and application fees received from mortgage originator customers in our mortgage warehouse lending business. Also included are fees received from independent correspondent mortgage lenders as consideration for our purchase of individual residential mortgage loans through our MCA business. Revenue related to the mortgage warehouse lending business is recognized when the related loan interest is disposed (i.e., through sale or payoff) or upon receipt of the facility renewal or application. Revenue related to our MCA business is recognized at the time a loan is purchased.
Investment banking and trading income - these include fees for merger, acquisition, divestiture and restructuring advisory services, fees for securities underwriting activities, loan syndication fees, and swap fees. Advisory fees are generally earned as performance obligations of the advisory service are satisfied. Underwriting fees are generally recognized upon execution of the client’s issuance of debt or equity instruments. Loan syndication fees are generally recognized upon closing of a loan syndication transaction.
Other non-interest income includes items such as letter of credit fees, bank owned life insurance income, dividends on FHLB and FRB stock and other general operating income, none of which are subject to the requirements of ASC 606. Also included in other-non-interest income are interchange fees earned when our commercial credit card clients process transactions through card networks. Our performance obligations are generally complete when the transactions generating the fees are processed.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for all stock-based compensation transactions in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires that stock compensation transactions be recognized as compensation expense on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income based on their fair values on the measurement date, which is generally the date of the grant.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. We utilize the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the values of the assets and liabilities as reflected in the financial statements and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets, net, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
The tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities is recorded to other comprehensive income and is not a component of income tax expense/(benefit).
Unrecognized tax benefits for the uncertain portion of recorded tax benefits and related interest may result from the application of complex tax laws, rules, regulations and interpretations. Unrecognized tax benefits, as well as estimated penalties and interest, are assessed quarterly and may be adjusted through current income tax expense in future periods based on changing facts and circumstances, completion of examinations by taxing authorities or expiration of a statute of limitations.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as provided below.
Level 1    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Also required are disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practical 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
68


used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments does not and is not intended to represent the fair value of the Company.
The following are descriptions of the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Variable Rate Loans, and Variable Rate Debt
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
Investment Securities
Within the investment securities portfolio, we hold equity securities that consist of investments that qualify for consideration under the regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment Act and investments related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Some of these equity securities are valued using quoted market prices for identical equity securities in an active market and are classified as Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy and others are traded in less active markets and are classified as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our U.S. government agency and residential mortgage-backed securities are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services that are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, and are characterized as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy. We obtain documentation from our primary pricing service regarding their processes and controls applicable to pricing investment securities, and on a quarterly basis independently verify the prices that we receive from the service provider using two additional independent pricing sources. We also hold tax-exempt asset-backed securities and CRT securities that are valued using a discounted cash flow model, which utilizes Level 3 inputs, and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Loans Held for Sale
The fair value for loans held for sale is derived from quoted market prices for similar loans, in which case they are characterized as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy, or is derived from third party pricing models, in which case they are characterized as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
The estimated fair value of interest rate swaps and caps is obtained from independent pricing services based on quoted market prices for similar derivative contracts and these financial instruments are characterized as Level 2 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy. On a quarterly basis, we independently verify the fair value using an additional independent pricing source. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued based upon quoted market prices obtained from independent pricing services for similar derivative contracts. As such, these financial instruments are characterized as Level 2 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy. The derivative instruments related to the loans held for sale portfolio include loan purchase commitments and forward sale commitments. Loan purchase commitments are valued based upon the fair value of the underlying mortgage loans to be purchased, which is based on observable market data for similar loans. Forward sale commitments are valued based upon quoted market prices from brokers. As such, these loan purchase commitments and forward sales commitments are characterized as Level 2 assets or liabilities in the fair value hierarchy. The derivative instruments related to our residential MSRs include interest rate swap futures and forward sale commitments. The interest rate swap futures are valued based on quoted market prices obtained from brokers for similar derivative contracts, while the forward sale commitments are valued based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loans to be purchased, which is based on observable market data for similar loans. As such, these derivative instruments are characterized as Level 2 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Financial Instruments
All contracts that satisfy the definition of a derivative are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. We record the derivatives on a net basis when a right of offset exists with a single counterparty that is subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement.
We enter into interest rate derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative positions relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with another financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, we agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows our customer to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because we act as an intermediary for our customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts substantially offset each other and do not have a material impact on our results of operations.
We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative instruments relate to transactions in which we enter into a contract with a customer to buy or sell a foreign currency at a future date for a specified price while at the same time entering into an offsetting contract with a financial institution to buy or sell the
69


same currency at the same future date for a specified price. These transactions allow our customers to manage their exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Because we act as an intermediary for our customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative instruments substantially offset each other and do not have a material impact on our results of operations.
Prior to the transition of our MCA program to a third party in 2021, we entered into loan purchase commitment contracts with mortgage originators to purchase residential mortgage loans at a future date, as well as forward sales commitment contracts to sell residential mortgage loans or to deliver mortgage-backed securities at a future date. The objective of these transactions was to mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk associated with the purchase of mortgage loans held for sale. Any changes in fair value were recorded in gain/(loss) on sale of loans held for sale on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Prior to the sale of our portfolio of MSRs to a third party in 2021, we entered into interest rate derivative contracts, primarily interest rate swap futures and forward sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities, in order to mitigate exposure to potential impairment losses from adverse changes in the fair value of our residential MSR portfolio. These derivative instruments were considered highly liquid and could be settled daily, which allowed us to dynamically manage our exposure. The derivative instruments were used to economically hedge the fair value of the residential MSR portfolio impacted by changes in anticipated prepayments resulting from mortgage interest rate movements and were classified as other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Any unrealized or realized gains/(losses) related to derivatives economically hedging the residential MSR portfolio were recognized in servicing-related expenses along with changes to the MSR valuation allowance.
Segment Reporting
We have determined that all of our lending divisions and subsidiaries meet the aggregation criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, as our current operating model is structured whereby divisions and subsidiaries serve a similar base of primarily commercial clients utilizing a bank-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes and platforms that are collectively reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.

At December 31, 2021, we had 119 securities in an unrealized loss position, comprised of five U.S. government agency securities, 112 residential mortgage-backed securities and two CRT securities . Based upon our December 31, 2021 review of securities with unrealized losses we have determined that all losses resulted from factors not deemed credit-related. We have evaluated the near-term prospects of each securities portfolio in relation to the severity of the unrealized losses and adverse conditions related to the securities among other factors. Based on that evaluation management has determined that we have the ability and intent to hold the securities until recovery of fair value and have recorded the unrealized losses in AOCI.
Available-for-sale debt securities with carrying values of approximately $22.0 million and $2.0 million were pledged to secure certain customer repurchase agreements and deposits, respectively, at December 31, 2021. The comparative amounts at December 31, 2020 were $31.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

We recorded a negative $30.0 million provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a $258.0 million provision for the same period of 2020. The decreased provision resulted primarily from decreases in charge-offs and criticized loans during 2021, as well as improvement in the economic outlook as the economy recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2021. We recorded $12.9 million in net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $198.8 million during the same period of 2020. Criticized loans totaled $582.9 million at December 31, 2021 and $918.4 million at December 31, 2020.
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. There were no loans that met these criteria at December 31, 2021.

The receipt of the refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date.
(2)As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our non-accrual loans were earning interest income on a cash basis. Additionally, no interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Accrued interest of $1.2 million and $1.3 million was reversed during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have any loans considered restructured that were not on non-accrual. Of the non-accrual loans at December 31, 2021 and 2020, $19.4 million and $45.4 million, respectively, met the criteria for restructured. These loans had no unfunded commitments at their respective balance sheet dates.

We did not have any loans that were restructured during the year ended December 31, 2021. The following table details the recorded investment at December 31, 2020 of loans that were restructured during the year ended December 31, 2020 by type of modification:
Extended Maturity Adjusted Payment Schedule Total
(dollars in thousands) Number of Contracts Balance at Period End Number of Contracts Balance at Period End Number of Contracts Balance at Period End
Year Ended December 31, 2020
Commercial $ 7,390  $ 14,496  $ $ 21,886 
Energy 5,705  12,935  18,640 
Total $ 13,095  $ 27,431  $ $ 40,526 
The restructuring of these loans did not have a significant impact on our allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2021 or 2020. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not have any loans that were restructured within the last 12 months that subsequently defaulted.
(5) Certain Transfers of Financial Assets
On April 20, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our portfolio of MSRs and to transition the MCA program to a third-party. The sale was completed on June 1, 2021 and the transfer of the servicing on the underlying mortgage loans was completed on August 1, 2021. Transition activities began immediately following the execution of the agreement and were complete prior to December 31, 2021.
We sold the remaining MSR balance of $1.2 million, which represented MSRs from loans sold after the cut-off date for the initial sale mentioned above. The sale of this MSR portfolio and the transfer of servicing on the underlying mortgage loans were completed on October 1, 2021, at which time all remaining MSR hedge positions were closed.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the changes in loans held for sale:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands) 2021 2020
Outstanding balance(1):
Beginning balance $ 281,137  $ 2,568,362 
Loans purchased and originated 1,413,899  11,366,986 
Payments and loans sold (1,686,567) (13,654,211)

Fair value adjustment:
Beginning balance 2,028  8,772 
Increase/(decrease) to fair value (2,374) (6,744)
Ending balance (346) 2,028 
Loans held for sale at fair value $ 8,123  $ 283,165 
(1)    Includes $44.1 million of loans held for sale that are carried at lower of cost or market as of December 31, 2020 and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2019.
No loans held for sale were on non-accrual as of December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020 we had $7.0 million in non-accrual loans held for sale, comprised of one loan previously reported in loans held for investment that was transferred to loans held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and subsequently sold at carrying value. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $4.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively, in loans held for sale that were 90 days or more past due. The $4.0 million in loans held for sale that were 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2021 was comprised of loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that were purchased out of Ginnie Mae securities and recorded as loans held for sale, at fair value, on the balance sheet. Interest on these past due loans accrues at the debenture rate guaranteed by the U.S. government. At December 31, 2020, $3.3 million of the $16.7 million in loans held for sale that were 90 days or more past due were loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that were purchased out of Ginnie Mae securities and recorded as loans held for sale, at fair value, on the balance sheet and $13.4 million were loans, pursuant to Ginnie Mae servicing guidelines, that we have the unilateral right, but not the obligation, to repurchase if defined delinquent criteria are met, and therefore must record as held for sale on our balance sheet regardless of whether the repurchase option has been exercised.

Prior to the transition of the MCA program to a third party, we retained the right to service loans after they are sold, creating MSRs which were recorded as assets on our consolidated balance sheets. A summary of MSR activity is as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands) 2021 2020
MSRs:
Balance, beginning of year $ 131,391  $ 70,707 
Capitalized servicing rights 15,990  99,678 
Amortization (18,663) (38,994)
Direct write-down (279) —

Balance, end of period $ —  $ 25,967 
MSRs, net $ —  $ 105,424 
MSRs, fair value $ —  $ 105,424 
In connection with the servicing of these loans, we held deposits in the name of investors representing escrow funds for taxes and insurance, as well as collections in transit to the investors. These escrow funds were segregated and held in separate non-interest-bearing deposit accounts at the Bank. These deposits, included in total non-interest-bearing deposits on the consolidated balance sheets, were $152.6 million at December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, our servicing portfolio of MSRs was comprised of residential mortgage loans with an outstanding principal balance of $13.8 billion. At December 31, 2021, our entire portfolio of MSRs had been sold.
The following tables summarize the assumptions used by management to determine the fair value of MSRs and a sensitivity analysis of changes in the fair value of our MSR portfolio resulting from certain key assumptions. Based on the 2021 sales of our MSR portfolio in its entirety, only December 31, 2020 data is provided in the tables below.
December 31,
2020
Average discount rates 9.09  %
Expected prepayment speeds 16.37  %

December 31,
(in thousands) 2020
50 bp adverse change in prepayment speed $ (12,203)
100 bp adverse change in prepayment speed (16,062)
These sensitivities are hypothetical and actual results may differ materially due to a number of factors. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined with confidence because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may be correlated with changes in other factors, which could impact the sensitivity analysis as presented.
In conjunction with the sale and securitization of loans held for sale, we may be exposed to liability resulting from repurchase, indemnification and make-whole agreements. Our estimated exposure related to those agreements totaled $400,000 and $621,000 at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. $92,000 in make-whole obligation payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $8.4 million in 2020.

Periodically, based on market conditions and other factors, and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of our existing indebtedness, we or the Bank may repay, repurchase, exchange or redeem outstanding indebtedness, or otherwise enter into transactions regarding our debt or capital structure. For example we and the Bank periodically evaluate and may engage in liability management transactions, including repurchases or redemptions of outstanding subordinated notes, which may be funded by the issuance of, or exchanges of, newly issued unsecured borrowings, as we seek to actively manage our debt maturity profile and interest cost.
(11) Long-Term Debt
From November 2002 to September 2006 various Texas Capital Statutory Trusts were created and subsequently issued floating rate trust preferred securities in various private offerings totaling $113.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the combined weighted-average interest rate on the trust preferred subordinated debentures was 2.13%, compared to 2.82% for 2020.

On September 21, 2012, the Company issued $111.0 million of subordinated notes. The notes mature in September 2042 and bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable quarterly. The indenture governing the notes contains customary covenants and restrictions. These notes were redeemed on June 21, 2021.
On January 31, 2014, the Bank issued $175.0 million of subordinated notes in an offering to institutional investors exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and 12 C.F.R. Part 16. The notes mature in January 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually. The notes are unsecured and are subordinate to the Bank’s obligations to its depositors, its obligations under banker’s acceptances and letters of credit, certain obligations to Federal Reserve Banks and the FDIC and the Bank’s obligations to its other creditors, except any obligations which expressly rank on a parity with or junior to the notes. The notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to applicable limitations. At the beginning of each of the last five years of the life of the notes, the amount that is eligible to be included in Tier 2 capital is reduced by 20% of the original amount of the notes (net of redemptions). In 2021, the amount of the notes that qualify as Tier 2 capital has been reduced by 20%.
On March 9, 2021, the Bank issued and sold $275.0 million of senior unsecured credit-linked notes. The notes mature on September 30, 2024, and accrue interest at a rate equal to the higher of LIBOR plus 4.50% or 4.25%, payable quarterly on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on the notes was 5.56%. The notes effectively transfer the risk of first losses on a $2.2 billion reference pool of the Bank’s mortgage warehouse loans to the purchasers of the notes in an amount up to $275.0 million. In the event of a failure to pay by the relevant mortgage originator, insolvency of the relevant mortgage originator, or restructuring of such loans that results in a loss on a loan included in the reference pool, the principal balance of the notes will be reduced to the extent of such loss and

recognized as a debt extinguishment gain within non-interest income on our consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The purchasers of the notes have the option to acquire the underlying mortgage loan collateralizing the reference warehouse line of credit in lieu of a principal reduction on the notes. Losses on our warehouse lines of credit have not generally been significant. The notes are recorded in long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets and accounted for at amortized cost.
On May 6, 2021, the Company issued and sold $375.0 million of subordinated notes. The notes mature in May 2031 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually. Net proceeds from the transaction were $370.7 million providing additional capital to be used for general corporate purposes. A portion of the proceeds were also used to redeem the Company’s 6.50% fixed rate subordinated notes, as is described above. The indenture governing the notes contains customary covenants and restrictions.

(13) Regulatory Restrictions
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
The Basel III regulatory capital framework (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) adopted by U.S. federal regulatory authorities, among other things, (i) establishes the capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specifies that Tier 1 capital consist of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 Capital” instruments meeting stated requirements, (iii) requires that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to other components of capital and (iv) defines the scope of the deductions/adjustments to the capital measures.
Additionally, the Basel III Capital Rules require that we maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer with respect to each of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.
In February 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule (the “2019 CECL Rule”) that revised certain capital regulations to account for changes to credit loss accounting under GAAP. The 2019 CECL Rule included a transition option that allows banking organizations to phase in, over a three-year period, the day-one adverse effects of adopting the new accounting standard related to the measurement of current expected credit losses on their regulatory capital ratios (three-year transition option). In March 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that maintains the three-year transition option of the 2019 CECL Rule and also provides banking organizations that were required under GAAP to implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years an estimate of the effect of CECL on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). We adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 and have elected to utilize the five-year transition option.
83


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined in the regulations. Management believes, as of December 31, 2021, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Financial institutions are categorized as well capitalized based on total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 and Tier 1 leverage ratios. As shown in the table below, the Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory definition of well capitalized as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The regulatory authorities can apply changes in classification of assets and such changes may retroactively subject the Company and the Bank to changes in capital ratios. Any such change could reduce one or more capital ratios below well-capitalized status. In addition, a change may result in imposition of additional assessments by the FDIC or could result in regulatory actions that could have a material effect on our condition and results of operations.
Because the Bank had less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, we are allowed to continue to classify our trust preferred securities, all of which were issued prior to May 19, 2010, as Tier 1 capital.
The table below summarizes our actual and required capital ratios under the Basel III Capital Rules. The ratios presented below include the effects of our election to utilize the five-year CECL transition described above.

(1)    The Tier 1 capital ratio (to average assets) is not impacted by the Basel III Capital Rules; however, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC may require the Company and the Bank, respectively, to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio (to average assets) above the required minimum.
(2)    Percentages represent the minimum capital ratios plus, as applicable, the fully phased-in 2.5% CET1 capital buffer under the Basel III Capital Rules.
Our mortgage finance loan volumes can increase significantly at month-end, causing a meaningful difference between ending and average balance for any period. As CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios are calculated using quarter-end risk-weighted assets and our mortgage finance loans are 100% risk-weighted (excluding MCA loans held for sale, which receive lower risk weights), the period-end fluctuation in these balances can significantly impact our reported ratios. Due to the actual risk profile and liquidity of this asset class, we do not believe that the period-end balance is representative of risk characteristics that would justify higher allocations, and while we manage capital allocated to mortgage finance loans based on changing trends in average balances, we do monitor our capital allocation to confirm that all capital levels remain above well-capitalized levels. To better align the actual risk profile of this asset class to its required capital allocation, the Bank issued and sold senior unsecured credit-

linked notes in the first quarter of 2021 that effectively transfer the risk of first losses on a $2.2 billion reference pool of the Bank's mortgage warehouse loans to the purchasers of the notes in an amount up to $275.0 million. The issuance of these notes decreases the required risk-weight on the $2.2 billion reference pool, which significantly improves our reported ratios.
Dividends that may be paid by banks are routinely restricted by various regulatory authorities, including federal banking law requirements concerning the payment of dividends. The Basel III Capital Rules further limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by us or our Bank. No dividends were declared or paid on our common stock during 2021, 2020 or 2019.
We are required to maintain reserve balances in cash and on deposit with the Federal Reserve based on a percentage of transactional deposits; however, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratio to zero effective March 26, 2020, therefore the total requirement was zero at both December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(14) Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefits
We have a qualified retirement plan with a salary deferral feature designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (“the 401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan permits our employees to defer a portion of their compensation. Matching contributions may be made in amounts and at times determined by the Company. We contributed approximately $10.2 million, $10.3 million, and $9.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan when they meet certain requirements concerning minimum age and period of credited service. All contributions to the 401(k) Plan are invested in accordance with participant elections among certain investment options.
We also offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our executives and key members of management in order to assist us in attracting and retaining these individuals. Participants in the plan may elect to defer up to 75% of their annual salary and/or short-term incentive payout into deferral accounts that mirror the gains or losses of investments selected by the participants. The plan allows us to make discretionary contributions on behalf of a participant as well as matching contributions. We made matching contributions of $274,000 in 2021 and $1.0 million in each of 2020 and 2019. All participant contributions to the plan and any related earnings are immediately vested and may be withdrawn upon the participant's separation from service, death or disability or upon a date specified by the participant. Salary deferrals are recorded as salaries and employee benefits expense on the consolidated statements of income with an offsetting payable to participants in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Employees are eligible for the ESPP when they meet certain requirements concerning period of credited service and minimum hours worked. Eligible employees may contribute a between 1% and 10% of eligible compensation up to the Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code limit of $25,000. Employee contributions to the ESPP were temporarily suspended throughout 2020. On January 1, 2021, the suspension was removed and employee contributions commenced. In 2006, stockholders approved the ESPP, which allocated 400,000 shares for purchase. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 164,033, 155,933 and 155,933 shares, respectively, had been purchased on behalf of employees under the ESPP.
We have stock-based compensation plans under which equity-based compensation grants are made by the board of directors, or its designated committee. Grants are subject to vesting requirements and may be settled in shares of common stock or paid in cash. Under the plans, we may grant, among other things, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance awards or any combination thereof to employees and non-employee directors. A total of 2,550,000 shares are authorized for grant under the current plan. Total shares remaining available for grant under the current plan at December 31, 2021 were 764,496.

From time to time the Company has made grants of restricted common stock to various non-employee directors as to which restrictions lapse ratably over a period of three years. Compensation expense for these grants was $1,000, $26,000 and $36,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there were no remaining restrictions on any grants of restricted common stock.
Total compensation cost for grants of stock-settled units was $30.1 million, $15.7 million and $11.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Cash-settled RSUs totaling 13,131 were outstanding at December 31, 2021, all of which are time-based and vest ratably over a period of four years. No grants of cash-settled RSUs were made in 2021, 2020 or 2019. Since these units have a cash payout feature, they are accounted for under the liability method with related expense based on the stock price at period end. Compensation cost for the cash-settled units was $1.3 million, $1.8 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Tax-exempt asset-backed securities
The fair value of tax-exempt asset-backed securities is based on a discounted cash flow model, which utilizes Level 3, or unobservable, inputs, the most significant of which were a discount rate and weighted-average life. At December 31, 2021, the discount rates utilized ranged from 2.55% to 2.66% and the weighted-average life ranged from 4.59 years to 4.63 years. On a combined amortized cost weighted-average basis a discount rate of 2.60% and a weighted-average life of 4.61 years were utilized to determine the fair value of these securities at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the combined weighted-average discount rate and weighted-average life utilized were 2.49% and 5.53 years, respectively.
CRT securities
The fair value of CRT securities is based on a discounted cash flow model, which utilizes Level 3, or unobservable, inputs, the most significant of which were a discount rate and weighted-average life. At December 31, 2021, the discount rates utilized ranged from 3.33% to 8.25% and the weighted-average life ranged from 4.75 years to 9.55 years. On a combined amortized cost weighted-average basis a discount rate of 4.97% and a weighted-average life of 6.35 years were utilized to determine the fair value of these securities at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the combined weighted-average discount rate and weighted-average life utilized were 4.36% and 7.49 years, respectively.
Loans held for sale
The fair value of loans held for sale using Level 3 inputs include loans that cannot be sold through normal sale channels and thus require significant management judgment or estimation when determining the fair value. The fair value of such loans is generally based upon quoted prices of comparable loans with a liquidity discount applied. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these loans was calculated using a weighted-average discounted price of 97.8%, compared to 97.2% at December 31, 2020.
Loans held for investment
Certain collateral-dependent loans held for investment are reported at fair value when, based upon an individual evaluation, the specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the loan's amortized cost is based upon the fair value of the loan's underlying collateral. There were no collateral-dependent loans held for investment reported at fair value at December 31, 2021. The $21.2 million fair value of loans held for investment at December 31, 2020 reported above includes impaired loans with a carrying value of $25.3 million that were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $4.1 million based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 inputs.

The weighted-average strike rate for outstanding interest rate caps was 2.54% at December 31, 2021 and 3.41% at December 31, 2020.
Our credit exposure on derivative instruments is limited to the net favorable value and interest payments by each counterparty. In some cases collateral may be required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the derivative instruments exceeds a nominal amount. Our credit exposure associated with these instruments, net of any collateral pledged, was approximately $37.8 million at December 31, 2021 and approximately $102.7 million at December 31, 2020. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap and cap values, as well as for changes in the value of forward sale commitments. At December 31, 2021, we had $40.3 million in cash collateral pledged for these derivatives that is included in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. At December 31, 2020, we had $108.3 million in cash collateral pledged for these derivatives, of which $104.4 million was included in interest-bearing deposits and $3.9 million was included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
We also enter into credit risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are either a participant or a lead bank. The risk participation agreements entered into by us as a participant bank provide credit protection to the financial institution counterparty should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with that financial institution. We are party to seven risk participation agreements where we are a participant bank with a notional amount of $79.2 million at December 31, 2021, compared to nine risk participation agreements having a notional amount of $119.5 million at December 31, 2020. The maximum estimated exposure to these agreements, assuming 100% default by all obligors, was approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 2021 and $6.0 million at December 31, 2020. The fair value of these exposures was insignificant to the consolidated financial statements at both December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Risk participation agreements entered into by us as the lead bank provide credit protection to us should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with us. We are party to 15 risk participation agreements where we are the lead bank having a notional amount of $156.1 million at December 31, 2021, compared to 16 agreements having a notional amount of $165.9 million at December 31, 2020.
(18) Related Party Transactions
During 2021 and 2020, we have had transactions with our directors, executive officers and their affiliates and our employees. These transactions were made in the ordinary course of business and include extensions of credit and deposit transactions, all made on the same terms as the then prevailing market and credit terms extended to other customers. The Bank had approximately $10.2 million in deposits from related parties, including directors, stockholders and their affiliates at December 31, 2021 and $11.6 million at December 31, 2020.

(20) Material Transactions Affecting Stockholders’ Equity
On March 3, 2021, we completed an issuance of 5.75% fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share) (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and an issuance and sale of 12,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are not cumulative and will be paid when declared by our board of directors to the extent that we have legally available funds to pay dividends. If declared, dividends will accrue and be payable quarterly, in arrears, on the liquidation preference amount, on a non-cumulative basis, at a rate of 5.75% per annum. Holders of preferred stock will not have voting rights, except with respect to certain changes in the terms of the preferred stock, certain dividend non-payments and as otherwise required by applicable law. Net proceeds from the sale totaled $289.7 million, providing additional capital to be used for general corporate purposes. A portion of the proceeds were also used to redeem, in whole, our 6.50% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series A, par value $0.01 per share, in accordance with its terms. The redemption of the Series A preferred stock occurred on June 15, 2021.

(22) New Accounting Standards
ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” (“ASU 2020-04”) provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered “minor” so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We anticipate this ASU will simplify any modifications we execute between the selected start date and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. The adoption of this ASU did not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As of December 31, 2021, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013),” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, is included in this Item under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated February 9, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2.Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.
3.Vesting; Forfeiture. Awarded Units which have become vested pursuant to the terms of this Section 3 are collectively referred to herein as “Vested Units.” All other Awarded Units are collectively referred to herein as “Unvested Units.” The Participant shall be eligible to receive shares of Common Stock with respect to the Vested Units in accordance with Section 4 below.
a.Subject to the provisions of Section 5 and Section 30 below and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3,
(i)One hundred percent (100%) of the Time-Based Units will become vested on February 26, 2024, provided that the Participant is employed by (or if the Participant is a Contractor, Consultant or Outside Director, is providing services to) the Company or its Subsidiaries on such date.
(ii)The Performance Units will vest on the date the Committee determines whether the vesting conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto have been achieved (which date shall be after the end of 2023 and no later than March 15, 2024).
b.Except as otherwise provided by Section 3.c., Section 3.d. and Section 3.h. hereof, immediately upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason whatsoever, the Participant shall be deemed to have forfeited all of the Participant’s Unvested Units.
c.Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in Section 5 below and regardless of whether the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A have been achieved, in the event that a Change in Control occurs and on or after the date of the Change in

Control, the Participant incurs a Termination of Service by the Company (or by its successor following the Change in Control) without Cause (as defined in Section 3.e. below) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 3.g. below), then 100% of the Unvested Units shall immediately become Vested Units upon such termination.
d.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates by reason of the Participant’s death or Total and Permanent Disability, all Unvested Units shall immediately become Vested Units upon such termination (with Performance Units vesting at the target (100%) performance level).
e.For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company.
f.For purposes hereof, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, provided that such event is a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other applicable guidance issued thereunder.

h.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to Section 5, if at any time after the date the Participant reaches age 60 plus 10 years of service with the Company the Participant, the Participant, after providing the Company with three months written notice of his or her intent to retire, incurs a Termination of Service with the Board’s consent (other than a Termination of Service for Cause or without Good Reason), then, provided that the Company determines that the Participant continued to perform his or her duties during the three month notice period in accordance with the terms and conditions of the retirement transition plan provided to the Participant by the Company on or after the date the Participant provided notice of his or her intent to retire, the Unvested Units shall not be forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination of Service and instead, such Unvested Units shall continue to be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 3.a. as if the Participant had remained employed by the Company (with shares of Common Stock being delivered pursuant to Section 4 on the original Vesting Dates). The Participant acknowledges and agrees that once the Participant provides written notice to the Company of his or her intent to retire, the Participant shall no longer be eligible to receive any additional grants under the Plan.
4.Delivery of Common Stock. The Vested Units shall be converted into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Vested Units and the Company shall electronically register such shares of Common Stock in the Participant’s name (or in the name of his or her estate or beneficiary) or deliver certificates for the such shares of Common Stock to the Participant in accordance with the following schedule:

a.Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Participant violates the provisions of Section 5.b. or the provisions of any agreement between the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) that contains confidentiality, non-solicitation or other protective or restrictive covenant provisions, then:
2


(i)the Awarded Units shall immediately cease to vest as of the date of such violation;
(ii)any shares of Common Stock that had not been registered (or delivered) with respect to Awarded Units shall be immediately forfeited and this Agreement (other than the provisions of this Section 5) will be terminated on the date of such violation; and
(iii)any shares of Common Stock (less any taxes paid by the Participant on such shares of Common Stock) that had been delivered to the Participant (or registered in the Participant’s name) with respect to any Vested Units shall be immediately returned to the Company by the Participant.
The Company must deliver written notice of its intent to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.a. at least 15 days prior to the date it intends to enforce the terms of Sections 5.a.(i) and (ii). Both the Company and the Participant agree that upon delivery of written notice under this Section 5.a., neither party will enter into any transaction that will affect the other party’s interests in the cash subject to dispute until the expiration of the 15-day notice period.
The provisions of this Section 5 (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 5.a. and the provisions of Section 5.b. below) only shall apply to the Awarded Units for the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the earlier of (i) the one year (or, in the event the Awarded Units vest in accordance with Section 3.h. above, the four year) anniversary of the date the Awarded Units become vested in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 above (regardless of whether the Agreement terminates or expires prior to such date), or (ii) if a Change in Control occurs, the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service either by the Company without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason.
b.By execution of this Agreement, the Participant, either individually or as a principal, partner, stockholder, manager, agent, consultant, contractor, employee, lender, investor, volunteer or as a director or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, agrees to the following:
(i)Confidential Information. The Participant acknowledges that the Company would not provide the Participant with access to its Confidential Information or grant the Awarded Units but for the Participant’s covenants or promises contained in this Section 5.b. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean the Company’s (for purposes of this Section 5.b., the “Company” shall include both the Company and Texas Capital Bank, N.A.’s (“TCB”)) unique concepts, lending practices, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategies, business practices, methods of operation, pricing information, cost information, trademarks, licenses, technical information, proprietary information, computer software programs, computer tapes and disks concerning its operations systems, customer lists, customer leads, customer loan and financial information, documents identifying past, present and future customers, customer profiles and preference data, hiring and training methods, investment policies, financial and other confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information concerning the Company’s operations and expansion plans. The Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information about the Company’s business, proprietary, and technical information that is not known to others and could have economic value to others if improperly disclosed. Confidential Information also means any information the Company discloses to the Participant, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects, including, without limitation, information and technical data contained in the Company’s manuals, booklets, publications and materials, equipment of every kind and character, as well as documents, prototypes, samples, prospects, inventions, product ideas, know how, processes, plans (including, without limitation, marketing plans and strategies), specifications, designs, techniques, technology, formulas, software, improvements, forecasts, and research. Confidential Information does not include any information that is available to the public or, upon reasonable investigation, is ascertainable in the public domain or information
3


generally known outside of the Company. The Participant’s obligations under this Section 5 regarding specific Confidential Information shall cease when that specific portion of the Confidential Information becomes publicly known, in its entirety and without combining portions of such information obtained separately.
(ii)Access to and Agreement Not To Disclose Confidential Information. During Participant’s Company employment, the Company agrees to provide the Participant with some or all of the Company’s Confidential Information to which the Participant has not had previous access or knowledge. By executing this Agreement, the Participant agrees that the Confidential Information constitutes valuable, special and unique assets of the Company, developed at the Company’s great expense, the unauthorized use or disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to the Company. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company is engaged in a specialized and competitive industry; that the Company relies heavily on information, data, programs, and processes it has developed and acquired; and that competitors can reap potential or real economic benefits from the possession of the Confidential Information that is otherwise not available to its competitors. The Participant understands and acknowledges, therefore, that the protection of the Company’s Confidential Information constitutes the Company’s legitimate business interest. The Participant acknowledges that the Confidential Information is the Company’s exclusive property, and the Participant will hold the Confidential Information in trust and solely for the Company’s benefit. The Participant further acknowledges that the Confidential Information includes “trade secrets” under Texas law and, in addition to the other protections provided in this Agreement, all trade secrets will be accorded the protection and benefits under Texas law and any other applicable law. The Participant waives any requirement that the Company submit proof of any trade secret’s economic value or post a bond or other security should the need arise.
In exchange for the Company’s promise to provide the Participant with some or all of the Company’s Confidential Information to which the Participant has not previously had access or knowledge, the Participant agrees that he or she will not, either during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company or at any time thereafter, use or rely upon for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of another, or disclose, disseminate, or distribute to anyone, including, without limitation, any individual, person, firm, corporation, or other entity, or publish, or use for any purpose, any of the Confidential Information (whether acquired, learned, obtained, or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others), except (A) as properly required in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or as the Company directs and authorizes; (B) as required by applicable law (if, to the extent reasonable and practicable, reasonable prior notice of such disclosure is given to the Company); or (C) to the extent such information is available to or known by the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Agreement). The Participant agrees that he or she will take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid unauthorized disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. The Participant also agrees to notify the Company immediately in the event of any unauthorized use, reliance upon or disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information of which the Participant is aware.
(iii)Use of Confidential Information During Employment. The Participant further agrees that in the course of his or her employment by the Company, the Participant will not remove from any office of the Company any documents, electronically stored information, or related items that contain Confidential Information, including, without limitation, computer discs, recordings, or other storage or archival systems or devices, including copies, except as may be required in the performance of the Participant’s duties as an employee of the Company. The Participant also agrees that he or she will not place or save any Confidential Information on any computer or electronic storage system that is not the Company’s property, except to perform work for the Company. All Confidential Information, and all memoranda, notes, records, drawings, documents, or other writings whatsoever made, compiled, acquired, or received by the
4


Participant at any time during his or her employment, including during the term of this Agreement, arising out of, in connection with, or related to any activity or business of the Company, including, without limitation, the customers, vendors, third parties, or others with whom the Company has a business relationship, the arrangements of the Company with such parties, and the pricing and expansion policies and strategy of the Company, are, and shall continue to be, the Company’s sole and exclusive property.
(iv)Protective Covenants. The Participant agrees that to protect the Company’s Confidential Information, and in consideration for the equity compensation in this Agreement, it is necessary to enter into the following protective covenants, which are ancillary to the enforceable promises between the Company and the Participant in the other Agreement Sections. During the Participant’s employment with the Company, and for a one-year period (or, in the event the Awarded Units vest in accordance with Section 3.h. above, the four-year period) after the date the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason, or if the Participant resigns for any reason, the Participant shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly: (A) compete for or solicit business for or on behalf of any person or business entity operating a state or national bank or company providing similar services with a place of business in the State of Texas, and any other state in which the Company does business and for which Participant had responsibility or performed services or about which Participant received Confidential Information; (B) own, operate, participate in, undertake any employment with, or have any interest in any entity with a place of business in the State of Texas related to the operation of a state or national bank or company providing similar services, except that the Participant may own publicly traded stock for investment purposes only in any company in which the Participant owns less than 5% of the voting equity; or (C) use or rely upon in any competition, solicitation, or marketing effort any Confidential Information.
The Participant also acknowledges that the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities, and the duration of the provisions in the Protective Covenants are reasonable and are no broader than are necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. The Protective Covenants shall survive the termination of the Participant’s employment and can be revoked or modified only by a writing signed by the parties that specifically states an intent to revoke or modify this provision. The Participant acknowledges that the Company would not provide him or her with access to its Confidential Information but for his or her covenants or promises contained in this Section 5.b. The Participant further agrees that during the protective covenant term, he or she shall immediately notify the Company in writing of any employment, work, or business he or she undertakes with or on behalf of any person (including himself or herself) or entity.
(v)No Solicitation of Employees/Customers. The Participant agrees that the no-employee solicitation covenant in this Section 5.b.(v) constitutes a reasonable and appropriate means, consistent with the best interests of both the Participant and the Company, to protect the Company’s interests in providing valuable equity compensation to the Participant and in preventing the loss or disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information. As an inducement for the Company’s agreement to provide the Participant the equity compensation in this Agreement, and to provide the Participant with the Company’s Confidential Information, the Participant agrees that during the Participant’s employment, and for a period of one (1) year following the termination or resignation of the Participant’s employment, for whatever reason, the Participant will not, alone or in combination with any individual, partner(s), company, corporation, or other entity or business with which he is in any way affiliated, including, without limitation, any partner, limited partner, member, director, officer, shareholder, employee, or agent of any such entity, recruit, solicit, request, induce or attempt to influence, directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to resign or terminate employment with the Company. The Participant agrees that for a period of one year (or, in the event the Awarded Units vest in accordance with Section 3.h. above, four years) following the termination or resignation
5


of his employment, for whatever reason, whether involuntary or voluntary, he shall not, directly or indirectly, as an owner, stockholder, director, employee, partner, agent, broker, consultant or other participant solicit a customer or prospective customer, or accept any business from a customer or prospective customer with whom he or she has done business or with whom he or she has had contact during the last 12 months of the Participant’s employment with the Company.
(vi)Definition Related to No-Solicitation of Employee Provision. In Section 5.b.(v), “Employee” means any employee on the Company’s payroll during the Protective Covenant time period specified in Section 5.b.(v).
(vii)Return of Documents. In the event of the Participant’s termination or resignation of his or her employment with the Company for any reason, the Participant will deliver to the Company all non-personal documents and data of any nature, and in whatever medium, concerning the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Participant agrees that he or she will not take with him or her any of the Company’s property, documents, or data of any description or any reproduction thereof, including summaries or notes regarding same, or any documents containing or relating to any of the Company’s Confidential Information.
(viii)Injunctive Relief. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s obligations, covenants, and agreements in Sections 5.b.(i)-(vii) concern special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of these agreements, covenants or obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies at law are not available. Therefore, the Participant agrees that the Company, in addition to any amounts that the Company is entitled to pursuant to Section 5.a. above, will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order, or all other equitable relief as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Participant from committing any violation of the agreements, covenants or obligations referred to in Sections 5.b.(i)-(vii).
(ix)Disclosures to Courts, Governmental Agencies or Administrative or Legislative Bodies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other agreement regarding confidentiality with the Company, the Participant may disclose Confidential Information when required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having authority over the Participant or the business of the Company or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the Participant to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with the Participant’s right to (i) report possible violations of state or federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, (ii) make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation, (iii) file a claim or charge with any government agency or entity, or (iv) testify, assist, or participate in an investigation, hearing, or proceeding conducted by any government or law enforcement agency, entity or court.
(x)Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. The Participant is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. The Participant is further notified that if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant: (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party in its, his or her sole discretion may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver as to succeeding breaches and no waiver of any provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. The remedies for any violation of Section 5 above are limited to the forfeiture, disgorgement, and injunction remedies specified in Sections 5.a. and b.(viii). and are subject to the time-limitations set forth in Section 5.a. above.

15.The Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Company will not be obligated to register any shares of Common Stock in the Participant’s name or issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant hereunder, if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of

any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination by the Company under this Section 15 shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

20.Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

(iv)Deposit Growth: At least 100% of the traditional loans held by the Company for investment are supported by core deposits.
5.    By way of example, assume that there were 100 total units granted (50% time-based and 50% performance-based units) and assume that for the Performance Period, the Committee determines that the Cumulative EPS goal for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Performance Periods were achieved at the 100%, 50% and 150% payout levels, respectively, and the Relative TSR was at the 100% payout level. Provided that the conditions set forth in paragraph 4 of this Exhibit A have been met, the Participant would be entitled to:

a.100% of the Time-Based Units with respect to the Awarded Units that vested in accordance with Section 3.a.(i) (50% of the Awarded Units), which are 100% vested based on the passage of time and continued employment [for example purposes only, 50 RSUs];

b.With respect to the EPS Units (60% of the Performance Units), 1/3rd of the EPS Units at 100% payout, 1/3rd of the EPS Units at the 50% payout, and 1/3rd of the EPS Units at the 150% payout [for example purposes only, (60% x 50 units are EPS Units or 30 units) and to calculate vesting, based on the hypothetical performance, it would be (10 units x 100% = 10) + (10 units x 50% = 5) + (10 units x 150% = 15) for a total number of vested EPS Units equal to 30 units]; and

c.With respect to the Performance Units that vest based on Relative TSR (40% of the Performance Units), 100% of such Performance Units [for example purposes only, 40% x 50 = 20 units; 100% of which would vest based on the hypothetical performance, for 20 vested Performance Units]. IMAGE_0A.JPG

Exhibit 10.14
TEXAS CAPITAL BANK
KEY EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY

This Severance Policy (“Policy”) sets forth the severance pay benefit of Texas Capital Bank (“TCB”) applicable to Key Executives, as identified in the document entitled “List of Key Executives,” available from the Chief Human Resources Officer.
The information contained in this Severance Policy, combined with the Texas Capital Bank Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) document, applies to those eligible employees described below.
The summary plan description for the Severance Plan applicable to Key Executives is made up of the main Severance Plan document and this Severance Policy. Both the main Severance Plan document and this Severance Policy must be read together.

ELIGIBILITY

    The Policy applies to Key Executives. This policy does not apply to any other employee nor does it apply to any person who is described as ineligible in the Severance Plan.

QUALIFYING EVENTS

    In the event of an involuntary termination, as determined by the Administrative Committee, TCB provides a severance benefit for affected employees. The severance benefit will also be provided in the event of a termination of employment for “Good Reason” (as defined below. This severance benefit does not apply to terminations for Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) (including terminations for poor performance or violations of TCB policy).

    For purposes of this Policy, “Good Reason” means, without the employee’s consent and subject to the notice, cure and other requirements set forth below: (i) a material diminution of base salary, provided that a diminution of 10% or less in any one calendar year will not be deemed material; (ii) a material diminution of the employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities as an employee; or (iii) a material change in the principal geographic location at which the employee must perform services for TCB (for purposes of this agreement, relocation to a facility or a location that would not increase the one-way commute distance by more than 50 miles will not be considered a material change in geographic location). In order for an employee to terminate status as an employee for Good Reason, (i) the employee must first provide written notice to TCB of the existence of the Good Reason condition within 30 days of the initial existence of such Good Reason condition, specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting grounds for Good Reason; (ii) TCB must have a period of at least 30 days following receipt of such written notice during which it may remedy the Good Reason condition (the “Cure Period”); (iii) the employee must cooperate in good faith with any efforts by TCB to remedy the Good Reason condition; (iv) the Good Reason condition must continue to exist upon completion of the Cure Period; and (v) the employee must resign from all positions held with TCB effective not later than 30 days after completion of the Cure Period.

PLAN BENEFITS

Payment Amount

    The amount of severance is equal to the sum of the following:

Base salary multiplied by one
Bonus multiplied by one*

*The bonus amount will be the average of the employee’s bonuses for the prior two years. If the employee has served fewer than two years, TCB will determine the amount of bonus to be awarded, if any, at its own discretion.

The employee may also, at TCB’s discretion, receive a prorated bonus reduced for the period of time during the year in which the employee was not employed.

For purposes of this Policy, base salary means regular wages, whether paid bi-weekly or semi-monthly, received by an eligible employee through TCB’s standard payroll policies and procedures,



exclusive of a forgivable draw, overtime, shift differential, car allowance, commission, bonus, or any other incentive-based compensation.

Vacation

Accrued but unused vacation will be paid out to the employee. Vacation will stop accruing as of the effective date of termination.

Insurance Benefits

To help defray the cost of continuing medical care, TCB will pay to the eligible employee a lump sum amount that equates to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) premium for the period of the severance benefit. The former employee will be responsible for the entire payment of premiums (or payment for the cost of coverage) required under COBRA for any eligible COBRA coverage period.

Equity Treatment

If an employee is terminated based on a qualifying event (as defined above), he or she should consult the relevant equity award agreement(s) for terms relevant to equity awards, including provisions dictating how unvested equity will be treated in the future.

Outplacement Services

Every employee covered by this Policy terminated in connection with a qualifying event (as defined above) will be eligible for six months of outplacement services at TCB’s expense. Such outplacement services will be arranged by TCB at a company of TCB’s choosing.

AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS

    To qualify for the severance pay benefit, an otherwise eligible employee must timely sign, return, and not effectively rescind the Separation Agreement and Release of Claims (“Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement is a document signed by the employee and TCB, in which the employee agrees to release any and all claims, actions, or lawsuits against TCB that relate to employment with TCB.

    If an employee chooses not to sign a Separation Agreement in a timely manner or rescinds a Separation Agreement, that employee will not receive severance pay under this policy. For more information regarding terms of TCB’s separation agreements, please contact TCB’s Human Resources Department.    

MISCELLANEOUS

    TCB has the authority to withhold applicable income and payroll taxes from any payments under the policy to the extent required by law.

    This policy shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment or impose on TCB any obligation to retain an employee nor shall this policy restrict the right of TCB to discharge any employee or restrict the right of any employee to terminate his/her employment with TCB.
