SILVERGATE CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silvergate Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silvergate Bank (the “Bank”), collectively referred to as (the “Company” or “Silvergate”).
The Bank was incorporated in 1987 and commenced business in 1988 under the California Financial Code as an industrial bank. In February 2009 the Bank converted its charter to a California commercial bank, which gave it the added authority to accept demand deposits. At the same time, the Company also became a registered bank holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act. The Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System in December 2012. The Bank is subject to regulation by the California Department of Business Oversight (“DBO”), and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable legal limits.
On November 15, 2018, the Company and the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to sell the Bank’s retail branch located in San Marcos, California and business loan portfolio to HomeStreet Bank. The Company completed the sale in March 2019, which included the reduction of $115.4 million in loans and $74.5 million in deposits and resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $5.5 million.
Financial Statement Preparation and Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 10, 2020. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the financial services industry.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes. We evaluate estimates on an ongoing basis including the economic impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (or “COVID-19”). Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (or “ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (or “CECL”) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held to maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. 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. These amendments were initially effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for SEC registrants and after December 15, 2020, for Public Business Entities, or PBEs. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which finalized the delay of the effective date for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to apply the standards related to CECL, until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. For debt securities with other than temporary impairment (OTTI), the guidance will be applied prospectively and for existing purchased credit impaired (PCI) assets will be grandfathered and

8


classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption. The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield such assets as of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance. For all other assets with the scope of CECL, the cumulative effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The Company formed a CECL implementation committee in 2018 which prepared a project plan to migrate towards the adoption date. As part of the project plan, the Company contracted a third-party vendor to assist in the application and analysis of ASU 2016-13 as well as a third-party vendor to perform an independent model validation. As part of this process, the Company has determined preliminary loan pool segmentation under CECL, as well as evaluated the key economic loss drivers for each segment. The Company operationalized an initial CECL model during the second quarter of 2019 and is running this preliminary CECL model alongside the existing incurred loss methodology. The Company intends to continue to refine and run the model until the date of adoption. The Company continues to evaluate the effects of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements and disclosures and whether to early adopt the guidance.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (or “ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (or “LIBOR”) or other interbank offered rate (reference rates) on financial reporting, which currently is expected to be discontinued by the end of 2021. To help with the transition to new reference rates, the ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to affected contract modifications and hedge accounting relationships. The guidance is applicable only to contracts or hedge accounting relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The expedients and exceptions in this update are available to all entities starting March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-04 will have on those financial assets where LIBOR is used as an index rate.
Except for the updated standards discussed above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As indicated in the tables above, as of June 30, 2020, the Company’s investment securities had gross unrealized losses totaling approximately $16.5 million, compared to approximately $7.7 million at December 31, 2019. The Company analyzed all of its securities with an unrealized loss position. For each security, the Company analyzed the credit quality and performed a projected cash flow analysis. In analyzing the credit quality, management may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies or its sponsored entities, or non-governmental entities, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and if credit quality has deteriorated. When performing a cash flow analysis the Company uses models that project prepayments, default rates, and loss severities on the collateral supporting the security, based on underlying loan level borrower and loan characteristics and interest rate assumptions. In addition, the Company has contracted with third party companies to perform independent cash flow analyses of its securities portfolio as needed. The unrealized losses on private-label collateralized mortgage obligations are due primarily to increased credit spreads as of June 30, 2020. The Company has an adequate amount of credit enhancement to cover any expected losses at this time. Based on these analyses and reviews conducted by the Company, and assisted by independent third parties, the Company determined that none of its securities required an other-than-temporary impairment charge at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Management continues to expect to recover the adjusted amortized cost basis of these bonds.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 33 securities whose estimated fair value declined 3.51% from the Company’s amortized cost; at December 31, 2019, the Company had 33 securities whose estimated fair value declined 1.72% from the Company’s amortized cost. The increase in percentage of unrealized losses is related to market liquidity concerns associated with COVID-19, which persisted though the second quarter of 2020, and widened credit spreads on securities and changes in market interest rates since the purchase dates. Unrecognized losses associated with liquidity concerns as a result of COVID-19 are not expected to remain constant in the future, however, unrecognized losses will continue to vary with general market interest rate fluctuations. Fair values are expected to recover as the securities approach their respective maturity dates and management believes it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 the Company received $202.3 million in proceeds and recognized a $3.5 million gain and $0.9 million loss on sales of available-for-sale securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company received $216.4 million in proceeds and recognized a $4.7 million gain and $0.9 million loss on sales of available-for-sale securities. There were no sales and calls of securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
There were no credit losses associated with our securities portfolio recognized in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Note 3—Loans
The following disclosure reports the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes. Segments are groupings of similar loans at a level in which the Company has adopted systematic methods of documentation for determining its allowance for loan and credit losses. Classes are a disaggregation of the portfolio segments. The Company’s loan portfolio segments are:
Real estate loans. Real estate includes loans for which the Company holds one-to-four family, multi-family, commercial and construction real property as collateral. Commercial real estate lending activity is typically restricted to owner-occupied

11


properties or to investor properties that are owned by customers with a current banking relationship. The primary risks of real estate mortgage loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate that is being held as collateral and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate mortgage loan unprofitable. Real estate loans also may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.
Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans consist of loans and lines of credit to small and medium-sized businesses in a wide variety of industries, including distributors, manufacturers, software developers, business services companies and independent finance companies. Commercial and industrial loans are generally collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, loan and lease receivables, and other commercial assets, and may be supported by other credit enhancements such as personal guarantees. Risk may arise from differences between expected and actual cash flows and/or liquidity levels of the borrowers, as well as the type of collateral securing these loans and the reliability of the conversion thereof to cash. Since the March 2019 sale of the business loan portfolio, commercial and industrial loans consist primarily of asset based loans. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company began offering a new pilot product called SEN Leverage, which will allow Silvergate customers to obtain U.S. dollar loans collateralized by bitcoin held at select digital currency exchanges or custodians that are also Silvergate customers. The Company plans to expand this offering in the latter part of 2020. The outstanding balance of SEN Leverage loans was $20.0 million as of June 30, 2020.
Consumer and other. Consumer loans consist of consumer loans and other loans secured by personal property.
Reverse mortgage. From 2012 to 2014, the Company purchased home equity conversion mortgage (“HECM”) loans (also known as reverse mortgage loans) which are a special type of home loan, for homeowners aged 62 years or older, that requires no monthly mortgage payments. Reverse mortgage loan insurance is provided by the U.S. Federal Housing Administration through the HECM program which protects lenders from losses due to non-repayment of the loans. In mid-2014, the Company ceased purchases of reverse mortgage loans and, began selling its remaining loans in the secondary market.
Mortgage warehouse. The Company’s mortgage warehouse lending division provides short-term interim funding for single-family residential mortgage loans originated by mortgage bankers or other lenders pending the sale of such loans in the secondary market. The Company’s risk is mitigated by comprehensive policies, procedures, and controls governing this activity, partial loan funding by the originating lender, guaranties or additional monies pledged to the Company as security, and the short holding period of funded loans on the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, the loss rates of this portfolio have historically been minimal, and these loans are all subject to written purchase commitments from takeout investors or are hedged. The Company’s mortgage warehouse loans may either be held-for-investment or held-for-sale depending on the underlying contract. The Company sold approximately $20.2 million and $36.8 million of loans to participants during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company sold approximately $41.9 million and $100.6 million of loans to participants during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, gross mortgage warehouse loans were approximately $477.1 million and $405.0 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $617.0 million and $614.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s loan portfolio were collateralized by various forms of real estate. A significant percentage of such loans are collateralized by properties located in California (74.1% and 64.8% as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively) and Arizona (6.5% and 10.2% as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively) with no other state greater than 5%. The Company attempts to address and mitigate concentrations of credit risk by making loans that are diversified by collateral type, placing limits on the amounts of various categories of loans relative to total Company capital, and conducting quarterly reviews of its portfolio by collateral type, geography, and other characteristics. While management believes that the collateral presently securing its portfolio and the recorded allowance for loan losses are adequate to absorb potential losses, there can be no assurances that significant deterioration in the California and Arizona real estate markets would not expose the Company to significantly greater credit risk.
Recorded investment in loans excludes accrued interest receivable, loan origination fees, net and unamortized premium or discount, net due to immateriality. Accrued interest on loans held-for-investment totaled approximately $2.6 million and $2.2 million and deferred fees totaled approximately $3.1 million and $2.7 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans held-for-investment at June 30, 2020 was 0.85%. The level of the allowance was based on modest increases in loan portfolio balances, Silvergate’s historically strong credit quality and minimal loan charge-offs, and the low to moderate loan-to-value margins in the Company's commercial, multi-family and one-to-four family real estate loans, as evidenced by weighted average loan-to-value ratios, based on last required appraisal value, in the low- to mid-50% range as of June 30, 2020. Although there is significant uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes the relatively low to moderate loan-to-value ratios provides a lower probability of loss in the event of defaults in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company will continue to monitor trends in its portfolio segments for any known or probable adverse conditions with an emphasis on retail and hospitality loans within the commercial real estate loan portfolio.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company enhanced its qualitative adjustment framework within the calculation of the allowance for loan losses to ensure consistency in the calculation. The change provided a structured framework using Company and peer historical data covering a full credit cycle to determine the range of potential loss for each qualitative adjustment. The overall change was not material to the overall allowance, however within loan segments the allowance was reallocated based on the weighted qualitative adjustment specific for each loan segment.
The following tables present the allocation of the allowance for loan losses, as well as the activity in the allowance by loan class, and recorded investment in loans held-for-investment as of and for the periods presented:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and, for economic or legal reasons related to these difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The Company has granted a concession when, as a result of the restructuring, it does not expect to collect all amounts due or within the time periods originally due under the original contract, including one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a temporary forbearance with regard to the payment of principal or interest. All troubled debt restructurings are reviewed for potential impairment. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual status for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can perform under the restructured terms. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan. Loans classified as TDRs are reported as impaired loans.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a recorded investment in TDR’s of $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company has not allocated any amount of specific allowance for those loans at June 30, 2020 and

December 31, 2019. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to these TDRs. No loans were modified as TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The TDR’s described above had no impact the allowance for loan losses and charge-offs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no loans modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. There was no provision for loan loss or charge-offs for TDR’s that subsequently defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.
COVID-19 Related Modifications
In March 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications for financial institutions working with customers affected by the Coronavirus. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, “Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Loans qualifying for these modifications will not be required to be reported as delinquent, nonaccrual, impaired or criticized solely as a result of a COVID-19 loan modification for the months of payment deferrals. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their modified contractual payments. A revised statement issued in April 2020, further clarified the interaction between the interagency statement and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that was signed into law in March 2020. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act for the temporary modifications described above.
In April 2020, the Company implemented a short-term loan modification program for customers impacted financially by the COVID-19 pandemic to provide temporary relief to certain borrowers who meet the program’s qualifications. The program was offered to borrowers to modify their existing loans to temporarily defer principal and/or interest payments for a specified period of time, extend loan maturity dates and/or waive certain loan covenants. Deferred payments may be extended for continued hardship but are not to exceed a total of six months. The majority of short-term loan modifications for commercial real estate loan borrowers consist of deferred payments which may include principal, interest and escrow. Deferred interest is capitalized to the loan balance and deferred principal is added to the maturity or payoff date. For one-to-four family loans, the majority of short-term modifications consist of deferring full monthly payment of principal, interest and escrow, with deferred payments due at maturity or payoff of the loan.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company modified 49 loans representing $136.8 million in loan balances, or 17%, of total gross loans held-for-investment as of June 30, 2020. All loans modified under these programs are maintained on full accrual status during the deferral period. No specific loan loss reserve allocation was deemed necessary for these modified loans. None of the modified loans met the criteria of a TDR under the CARES Act or the related interagency statement.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. This analysis typically includes larger, nonhomogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass:
 
Loans in all classes that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.
 
 
Special mention:
 
Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
 
 
Substandard:
 
Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
 
Doubtful:
 
Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
 
 
 
Loss:
 
Credits rated as loss are charged-off. Management has no expectation of the recovery of any payments in respect of credits rated as loss.

The following tables present by portfolio class the Company’s internal risk grading system as well as certain other information concerning the credit quality of the Company’s recorded investment in loans held-for-investment as of the periods presented. No assets were classified as loss or doubtful during the periods presented.

FHLB advances are secured with eligible collateral consisting of certain real estate loans. Advances from the FHLB are subject to the FHLB’s collateral and underwriting requirements, and as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were limited in the aggregate to 35% of the Company’s total assets. Loans with carrying values of approximately $1.0 billion and $875.9 million were pledged to the FHLB as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Unused borrowing capacity based on the lesser of the percentage of total assets and pledged collateral was approximately $193.3 million as of June 30, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company initiated and settled a $64.0 million FHLB five-year term advance. Due to an increase in FHLB advance rates after settlement, the Company repaid the advance and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million.
FRB Advances
The Company is also approved to borrow through the Discount Window of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on a collateralized basis without any fixed dollar limit. Loans with a carrying value of approximately $6.4 million and $10.1 million were pledged to the FRB at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Federal Reserve’s discount window program was $4.5 million as of June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under any of these lines.
Federal Funds Purchased
The Company may borrow up to an aggregate $68.0 million, overnight on an unsecured basis, from three of its correspondent banks. Access to these funds is subject to liquidity availability, market conditions and any negative material

20


change in the Company’s credit profile. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding balance of federal funds purchased.
Note 5—Notes Payable
On January 29, 2016, the Company entered into a term loan with a commercial bank for a single principal advance of $8.0 million due to mature on January 29, 2021. Loan interest and principal was payable quarterly commencing April 2016 and accrued interest at an annual rate equal to 2.60% plus the greater of zero percent and the one-month LIBOR rate. The proceeds were used to redeem preferred stock and could be prepaid at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid off the note in full. The outstanding principal balance at December 31, 2019 was $3.7 million.
Note 6—Subordinated Debentures, Net
A trust formed by the Company issued $12.5 million of floating rate trust preferred securities in July 2001 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for its proceeds from the offering. The debentures and related accrued interest represent substantially all of the assets of the trust. The subordinated debentures bear interest at six-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points, which adjusts every six months in January and July of each year. Interest is payable semiannually. At June 30, 2020, the interest rate for the Company’s next scheduled payment was 5.51%, based on six-month LIBOR of 1.76%. On any January 25 or July 25 the Company may redeem the 2001 subordinated debentures at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The 2001 subordinated debentures mature on July 25, 2031.
A second trust formed by the Company issued $3.0 million of trust preferred securities in January 2005 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for its proceeds from the offering. The debentures and related accrued interest represent substantially all of the assets of the trust. The subordinated debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 185 basis points, which adjusts every three months. Interest is payable quarterly. At June 30, 2020, the interest rate for the Company’s next scheduled payment was 2.16%, based on three-month LIBOR of 0.31%. On the 15th day of any March, June, September, or December, the Company may redeem the 2005 subordinated debentures at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The 2005 subordinated debentures mature on March 15, 2035.
The Company also retained a 3% minority interest in each of these trusts which is included in subordinated debentures. The balance of the equity in the trusts is comprised of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The Company has the right to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five years.
Note 7—Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the derivative does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual derivative agreements. In accordance with accounting guidance, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”), reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. The initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in the statement of financial condition under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and the amounts recognized in earnings is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current earnings as fair values change. The changes in fair value of the hedged item is recorded as a basis adjustment to the hedged assets or liabilities. The amount included as basis adjustments would be reclassified to current earnings on a straight-line basis over the original life of the hedged item should the hedges no longer be considered effective.
Interest rate swap. In 2020, the Company entered into two pay-fixed/receive floating rate interest rate swaps (the “Swap Agreements”) for a notional amount of $14.3 million that were designated as fair value hedges of certain available-for-sale securities. The Swap Agreements were determined to be fully effective during the periods presented and therefore no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The Swap Agreements are based on three-month LIBOR and expire in 2030 and 2031. The Company expects the Swap Agreements to remain effective during the remaining term of the Swap Agreements.

21


Interest rate floor. In 2019, the Company entered into 20 interest rate floor agreements (the "Floor Agreements") for a total notional amount of $400.0 million to hedge cash flow receipts on cash and securities or loans, if needed. The original Floor Agreements expire on various dates in April 2024 and July 2029. The Company utilizes one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR interest rate floors as hedges against adverse changes in cash flows on the designated cash, securities or loans attributable to fluctuations in the federal funds rate or three-month LIBOR below 2.50% or 2.25%, as applicable. The Floor Agreements were determined to be fully effective during all periods presented and, as such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The upfront fee paid to the counterparty in entering into these Floor Agreements was approximately $20.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company sold $200.0 million of its total $400.0 million notional amount of interest rate floors for $13.0 million, which resulted in a net gain of $8.4 million, to be recognized over the weighted average remaining term of 4.1 years. The remaining agreements are one-month LIBOR floors with a strike price of 2.25% and expire in July 2029.
Interest rate cap. In 2012, the Company entered into a $12.5 million and a $3.0 million notional forward interest rate cap agreement (the “Cap Agreements”) to hedge its variable rate subordinated debentures. The Cap Agreements expire July 25, 2022 and March 15, 2022, respectively. The Company utilizes interest rate caps as hedges against adverse changes in cash flows on the designated preferred trusts attributable to fluctuations in three-month LIBOR beyond 0.50% for the $3.0 million subordinated debenture and six-month LIBOR beyond 0.75% for the $12.5 million subordinated debenture. The Cap Agreements were determined to be fully effective during all periods presented and, as such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The upfront fee paid to the counterparty in entering into these Cap Agreements was approximately $2.5 million.

Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily related to higher net income. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 25.0% and 24.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 benefited from tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds that were purchased beginning in late March 2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 benefited from the recognition of tax benefits, including excess benefit from stock-based compensation.
Income tax expense was $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily related to reduced pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 26.7% and 28.1%, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily related to tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds.
The deferred tax liability balance as of June 30, 2020 was $11.8 million compared to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2019. The primary change in balance was due to the increase in unrealized gains on derivative assets and available-for-sale securities portfolio.
Note 9 —Commitments and Contingencies
Off-Balance Sheet Items
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk exceeding the amounts recognized on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amounts of these commitments. The same credit policies and procedures are used in making these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these commitments, however, an allowance for off-balance sheet credit risk is recorded in other liabilities on the statements of financial condition. The allowance for these commitments amounted to approximately $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

24


The Company’s commitments associated with outstanding letters of credit and commitments to extend credit expiring by period as of the date indicated are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

Unfunded lines of credit represent unused credit facilities to the Company’s current borrowers that represent no change in credit risk that exist in the Company’s portfolio. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the customer in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the client from the underlying collateral, which can include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and/or marketable securities. The Company’s policies generally require that letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants like those contained in loan agreements and our credit risk associated with issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under letters of credit and credit commitments by subjecting them to the same credit approval and monitoring procedures used for on-balance sheet instruments. The effect on the Company’s revenue, expenses, cash flows and liquidity of the unused portions of these letters of credit commitments cannot be precisely predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will be used.
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, for a specific purpose. Commitments generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of such pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 10—Stock-based Compensation
In June 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Equity Compensation Plan, or 2018 Plan, that permits the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, to grant various forms of incentive awards. Under the 2018 Plan, the Compensation Committee has the power to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2018 Plan is 1,596,753.
In 2010, the Company adopted an equity compensation plan, or 2010 Plan, that provides for the grant of stock options to employees, directors, and other persons referred to in Rule 701 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. The number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2010 Plan is 730,784. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for administrating the 2010 Plan and determining the terms of all awards under it, including their vesting, except that in the case of a change in control of the Company all options granted under the 2010 Plan shall become 100% vested. As of June 30, 2020, there are no shares available for issuance under the 2010 Plan.
In accordance with authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation, compensation expense is recognized only for those shares expected to vest, based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. The Company has elected a policy of estimating expected forfeitures.
Total stock-based compensation expense was $0.2 million and $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense was $0.4 million and $49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 11—Regulatory Capital
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Company must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. As of January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer had fully phased in to 2.50%. Management believes, as of June 30, 2020, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. For the periods presented, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The Bank is restricted as to the amount of dividends that it can pay to the Company. Dividends declared in excess of the lesser of the Bank’s undivided profits or the Bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years less the amount of any distribution made to the Bank’s shareholders during the same period must be approved by the California DBO. Also, the Bank may not pay dividends that would result in capital levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above.
Note 12—Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This standard’s fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2—Significant 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.

27


Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Financial Instruments Required To Be Carried At Fair Value
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
Securities available-for-sale. The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).
Derivatives. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP. The estimated fair values of the derivative assets and liabilities are based on current market prices for similar instruments. Given the meaningful level of secondary market activity for derivative contracts, active pricing is available for similar assets and accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2.
Impaired loans (collateral-dependent). The Company does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-quoted value of the underlying collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. In some cases, the properties for which market quotes or appraised values have been obtained are located in areas where comparable sales data is limited, outdated, or unavailable. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, which generally include various Level 3 inputs. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and such adjustments are typically significant. Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of these possible adjustments may vary. Impaired loans presented in the table below as of the periods presented include impaired loans with specific allowances as well as impaired loans that have been partially charged-off.
Other real estate owned. Fair value estimates for foreclosed real estate are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants (Level 3). When a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value as a result of known changes in the market or the collateral and there is no observable market price, such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. To the extent a negotiated sales price or reduced listing price represents a significant discount to an observable market price, such valuation input would result in a fair value measurement that is also considered a Level 3 measurement.
The following tables provide the hierarchy and fair value for each class of assets and liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Carried At Fair Value
FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The Company’s estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of the dates presented:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any future period.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would,” “aim” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such expectations, estimates and projections will be achieved. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each risk and uncertainty on our business or the extent to which any risk or uncertainty, or combination of risks and uncertainties, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (or “COVID-19”) outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be fully reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to fully reopen as planned, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s (“Federal Reserve”) target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; our cybersecurity risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.
If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information and statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and registration statements filed by us with the SEC. For information on the factors that could cause actual results to differ from the expectations stated in the forward- looking statements, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K in addition to Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports as filed with the SEC.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the current coronavirus disease COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. In an emergency measure aimed at blunting the economic impact of COVID-19, the Federal Reserve lowered the target for the federal funds rate to a range of between zero to 0.25% on March 16, 2020. The following is a summary of some of the actions that we have taken in response to COVID-19 as well as the current and potential effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

32


Employees
The majority of our employees continue to work remotely which has had minimal to no impact to maintaining our operations. The Company has adopted preventative measures to protect employees including social distancing policies for those few employees still working in the office, reduced branch hours, restricting non-essential business travel, enhanced cleaning services and continually provides guidelines to employees to promote healthy habits and ways to stay connected while working remotely.
Loan Portfolio
In April 2020, we implemented a short-term loan modification program for customers impacted financially by the COVID-19 pandemic to provide temporary relief to certain borrowers who meet the program’s qualifications. The program was offered to borrowers to modify their existing loans to temporarily defer principal and/or interest payments for a specified period of time, extend loan maturity dates and/or waive certain loan covenants. Deferred payments may be extended for continued hardship but are not to exceed a total of six months. The majority of short-term loan modifications for commercial real estate loan borrowers consist of deferred payments which may include principal, interest and escrow. Deferred interest is capitalized to the loan balance and deferred principal is added to the maturity or payoff date. For one-to-four family loans, the majority of short-term modifications consist of deferring full monthly payment of principal, interest and escrow, with deferred payments due at maturity or payoff of the loan. Loans qualifying for these modifications will not be required to be reported as delinquent, nonaccrual, impaired or criticized solely as a result of a COVID-19 loan modification for the months of payment deferrals. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their modified contractual payments.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we modified 49 loans representing $136.8 million in loan balances, or 17%, of total gross loans held-for-investment as of June 30, 2020. The two sectors within our commercial real estate loan portfolio that are expected to be most heavily impacted by COVID-19, retail and hospitality, made up $91.7 million of these modifications. All loans modified under these programs are maintained on full accrual status during the deferral period. Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). In accordance with interagency guidance issued in April 2020, these short-term modifications made to a borrower affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers and extensions of repayment terms, do not need to be identified as TDRs if the loans were current at the time a modification plan was implemented. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act for the temporary modifications described above. None of the modified loans met the criteria of a TDR under the CARES Act or the related interagency statement. The Company has worked closely with its borrowers throughout the pandemic and borrowers representing 27% of loan balances who initially were granted loan deferrals have resumed payments on their borrowings as of July 15, 2020.

At June 30, 2020, our gross loans held-for-investment portfolio was $797.2 million, with its largest segments consisting of commercial real estate and one-to-four-family real estate loans. Within the commercial real estate loan portfolio, we had $82.7 million of retail loans and $46.2 million of hospitality loans at such date. Although there is significant uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our relatively low to moderate loan-to-value ratios provide a lower probability of loss in the event of defaults in our loan portfolio. We will continue to monitor trends in our loan portfolio segments for any known or probable adverse conditions with an emphasis on our retail and hospitality loans within our commercial real estate loan portfolio.
Additional information at June 30, 2020 related to our loan segments, including the weighted average loan-to-values, is set forth below. Weighted average loan-to-value ratios are based on current loan balance and appraisal data performed either at origination date of the loan or based on a more current updated appraisal.

Overview
Silvergate Capital Corporation is the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Silvergate Bank, which we believe is the leading provider of innovative financial infrastructure solutions and services to participants in the nascent and expanding digital currency industry. Instrumental to our leadership position and growth strategy is the Silvergate Exchange Network (“SEN”) our proprietary, virtually instantaneous payment network for participants in the digital currency industry which serves as a platform for the development of additional products and services. The SEN has a powerful network effect that makes it more valuable as participants and utilization increase. The SEN has enabled us to focus on significantly growing our noninterest bearing deposit product for digital currency industry participants, which has provided the majority of our funding over the last two years. This unique source of funding is a distinctive advantage over most traditional financial institutions and allows us to generate revenue from a conservative portfolio of investments in cash, short term securities and certain types of loans that we believe generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition, use of the SEN has resulted in an increase in noninterest income that we believe will become a valuable source of additional revenue as we develop and deploy fee-based solutions in connection with our digital currency initiative. We are also evaluating additional products or product enhancements specifically targeted at providing further financial infrastructure solutions to our customers and strengthening SEN network effects.
The Company is a Maryland corporation that is the parent company of Silvergate Bank. The Company’s assets consist primarily of its investment in the Bank and its primary activities are conducted through the Bank. The Company is a registered bank holding company that is subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is subject to supervision by the California Department of Business Oversight, Division of Financial Institutions (“DBO”) and, as a Federal Reserve member

34


bank since 2012, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or FRB. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to legal limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC.
The Bank provides financial services that include commercial banking, commercial and residential real estate lending, mortgage warehouse lending and commercial business lending. Our client base is diverse and consists of business and individual clients in California and other states and includes digital currency-related customers in the United States and internationally. Following the Bank’s conversion to a commercial bank we began introducing an expanded array of relationship-oriented business products and services, which in the past five years has been augmented by our digital currency initiative. While our commercial real estate lending activities are concentrated in California, we have a broader, nationwide focus on deposit and cash management services for digital currency-related businesses, as well as mortgage warehouse and correspondent residential lending. Beginning in July 2020, we ceased issuing purchases commitments for residential real estate loans through our correspondent lending unit, but will continue to service existing loans currently on our balance sheet.
In March 2019, the Company and the Bank completed the sale of the Bank’s retail branch located in San Marcos, California and business loan portfolio to HomeStreet Bank. This transaction generated a pre-tax gain on sale of $5.5 million and reduced total loans by $115.4 million and total deposits by $74.5 million. Further, on June 28, 2019, the Company consolidated its La Mesa Business Banking Center into its La Jolla headquarters branch office, resulting in the Company having only one branch location.
Digital Currency Initiative
We leverage the SEN and our management team’s expertise in the digital currency industry to develop, implement and maintain critical financial infrastructure solutions and services for many of the largest U.S. digital currency exchanges and global investors, as well as other digital currency infrastructure providers that utilize the Company as a foundational layer for their products. The SEN is a central element of the operations of our digital currency related customers, which enables us to grow with our existing customers and to attract new customers who can benefit from our innovative solutions and services. We believe that our vision and advanced approach to compliance complement the SEN and empower us to extend our leadership position in the industry by developing additional infrastructure solutions and services that will facilitate growth in our business.
We began exploring the digital currency industry in 2013 based on market dynamics which we believed were highly attractive:
Significant and Growing Industry: Digital currency presented a revolutionary model for executing financial transactions with substantial potential for growth.
Infrastructure Needs: In order to become widely adopted, digital currency would need to rely on many traditional elements of financial services, including those services that support funds transfers, customer account controls and other security measures.
Regulatory Complexity as a Barrier to Entry: Providing infrastructure solutions and services to the digital currency industry would require specialized compliance capabilities and a management team with a deep understanding of both the digital currency and the financial services industries.
These insights have been proven correct and we believe they remain true today. In fact, we believe that the market opportunity for digital currencies, the need for infrastructure solutions and services and the regulatory complexity have all expanded significantly since 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is based upon our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other than uncertainty related to COVID-19, there have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020.
Accounting policies, as described in detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, are an integral part of our financial statements. A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing our reported results of operations and our financial position. We believe that those critical accounting policies and estimates require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates, which are likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $5.5 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 6.0% from net income of $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in noninterest income, offset by a $1.5 million decrease in net interest income and a $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $9.9 million, a decrease of $4.7 million or 32.4% from net income of $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.4 million decrease in net interest income and a $1.6 million increase in noninterest expense, offset by a $2.1 million decrease in income tax expense and $0.3 million increase in noninterest income, all as described below.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis (Taxable Equivalent Basis)
We analyze our ability to maximize income generated from interest earning assets and control the interest expenses of our liabilities, measured as net interest income, through our net interest margin and net interest spread. Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest earning assets, such as loans, interest earning deposits in other banks and securities, and the interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets.

39


Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates we earn on interest earning assets or pay on interest bearing liabilities, as well as in the volume and types of interest earning assets, interest bearing and noninterest bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets. Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in our loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in the Southern California region, developments affecting the real estate, technology, hospitality, tourism and financial services sectors within our target markets and throughout the Southern California region, the volume and availability of residential loan pools and non-qualified residential loans and mortgage banker relationships. Our ability to respond to changes in these factors by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability of our net interest income and net interest margin as our primary sources of earnings.
The following tables show the average outstanding balance of each principal category of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, together with the average yields on our assets and the average costs of our liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and cost are calculated by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of the associated assets or liabilities for the same period.
Tax-exempt income from securities is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis. Net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin are presented on a taxable equivalent basis to consistently reflect income from taxable securities and tax-exempt securities based on the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%.

Interest income on tax-exempt securities is presented on a taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for all periods presented.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis decreased $1.1 million to $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, due to a decrease of $1.0 million in interest income and an increase of $0.1 million in interest expense.
Average total interest earning assets increased $130.6 million or 6.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to increases in securities and loans offset by decreases in interest earning deposits in other banks. The average annualized yield on total interest earning assets decreased from 3.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower yields on interest earning deposits in other banks, securities and loans. The lower yields were due to declines in federal funds rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which was partially offset by the impact of interest rate floors which were put in place during 2019.
Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $62.3 million or 18.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to calling the remaining balance of brokered certificates of deposit used in our hedging strategy, as discussed further below. The average annualized rate on total interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.20% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the impact of calling the remaining outstanding balance of brokered certificates of deposits, and the acceleration of the related $1.2 million in premium expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the net interest spread was 0.73% and the net interest margin was 3.14% compared to 1.74% and 3.56%, respectively, for the comparable period in 2019. The net interest margin decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of lower federal funds rates and LIBOR on our interest earning assets and $1.2 million of premium expense associated with calling our brokered certificates of deposit, partially mitigated by decreased Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and other borrowing expense and the effects associated with the hedging strategy, which included the impacts of reducing the balance of the callable brokered certificates of deposit, along with the benefit derived from the interest rate floors.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis decreased $4.9 million to $32.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $36.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to a decrease of $1.0 million in interest income and an increase of $3.9 million in interest expense.
Average total interest earning assets increased $179.0 million or 9.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to increases in securities and loans offset by decreases in interest earning

43


deposits in other banks. The average balance of securities increased from $480.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $915.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 while the average balance of interest bearing deposits in other banks decreased from $582.4 million to $201.3 million over the same time period. The movement in these asset classes was primarily due to the implementation of the Company’s hedging strategy, intended to protect earnings in a declining interest rate environment that was implemented starting in March 2019. The total balances of the original hedging strategy included the purchase of $400.0 million in notional amount of interest rate floors, $350.4 million in fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities and issuing $325.0 million of callable brokered certificates of deposit. The average annualized yield on total interest earning assets decreased from 4.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 3.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower yields on interest earning deposits in other banks and securities as well as loans. The lower yields were due to declines in federal funds rate and LIBOR which was partially offset by the interest rate floors. In February 2020, the Company sold $200.0 million of its total $400.0 million notional amount of interest rate floors, which resulted in a net gain of $8.4 million, to be recognized over the weighted average remaining term of 4.1 years. The sale of the floors secured the benefit of lower interest rates at the time of the sale.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $113.9 million or 39.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in interest bearing deposits between periods, and an increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings. The average annualized rate on total interest bearing liabilities increased to 3.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1.84% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the callable brokered certificates of deposits associated with our hedging strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company called the remaining balance of the callable brokered certificates of deposit, which resulted in the recognition of $3.4 million of premium amortization in interest expense. The accelerated impact of premium expense on brokered certificates of deposit was partially offset by lower rates which resulted from calling and reissuing in prior periods.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the net interest spread was 0.36% and the net interest margin was 3.00% compared to 2.21% and 3.78%, respectively, for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease in the net interest spread and net interest margin in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of lower federal funds rates and LIBOR on our interest earning assets, $3.4 million of premium expense associated with calling our brokered certificates of deposit, partially mitigated by decreased FHLB advances and other borrowings expense and the combined effects associated with the hedging strategy, which included the impacts of calling and reissuing a portion of the brokered callable certificates of deposit, along with the benefit derived from the interest rate floors.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a charge to income to bring our allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. For a description of the factors considered by our management in determining the allowance for loan losses see “—Financial Condition—Allowance for Loan Losses”.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total gross loans held-for-investment was 0.85% at June 30, 2020 compared to 1.02% at June 30, 2019. The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was based on modest increases in loans held-for-investment, our historically strong credit quality and minimal loan charge-offs, and the low to moderate loan-to-value margins in our commercial, multi-family and one-to-four family real estate held-for-investment loan portfolios, as evidenced by weighted average loan-to-value ratios in the low- to mid-50% range. Although there is significant uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe the relatively low to moderate loan-to-value ratios, along with only modest exposure to the retail and hospitality sectors, provides lower probability of loss in the event of defaults in our loan portfolio. The Company will continue to monitor trends in its portfolio segments for any known or probable adverse conditions.

Noninterest income increased $3.3 million or 152.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the gain on sale of securities of $2.6 million and a $1.3 million, or 108.2%, increase in deposit related fees, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in service fees related to off-balance sheet deposits. Deposit related fees from digital currency customers increased $1.3 million, or 118.8%, to $2.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to both an increase in the number of digital currency customers and the number of transactions.
Noninterest income increased $0.3 million or 3.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the $3.8 million gain on sale of securities, an increase of $2.0 million in deposit related fees, and a $0.9 million gain on extinguishment of debt, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in service fees related to off-balance sheet deposits. In addition, noninterest income for the 2019 period included a pre-tax gain on sale of $5.5 million for our San Marcos branch and business loan portfolio that was completed in March 2019. The $2.0 million increase in deposit related fees was primarily due to increases in cash management, foreign exchange, and SEN related fees associated with our digital currency initiative. Deposit related fees from digital currency customers increased $2.1 million, or 107.0%, to $4.1 million compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company initiated and settled a $64.0 million FHLB five-year term advance. Due to an increase in FHLB advance rates after settlement, the Company repaid the advance and recorded a gain of $0.9 million. The decline in service fees related to off-balance sheet deposits was due to a $97.8 million decline in average off-balance sheet deposit balances from $148.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $51.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and a decline in the interest rate spread on these balances.

Noninterest expense increased $1.3 million or 9.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, communications and data processing and other general and administrative expense, partially offset by a decreases in occupancy and equipment. The increase of $0.9 million, or 11.4% in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to increases in cost per full-time equivalent employee including an increase of $0.2 million in stock-based compensation expense.
Noninterest expense increased $1.6 million or 6.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, communications and data processing and other general and administrative expense, partially offset by decreases in professional services. The increase of $1.1 million or 6.6% in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a moderate increase in cost per full-time equivalent employee including an increase of $0.4 million in stock-based compensation expense. Communications and data processing increased $0.4 million or 19.2% primarily due to amortization of previously capitalized foreign currency and payments platform enhancements and additional expenses related to monitoring, data and security software. We continue to invest in scalable technology, and are committed to expanding our banking platform with a cloud-based API-enabled payment hub to complement our API-enabled SEN. While we continue to invest in projects to strengthen our ability to operate efficiently and effectively while leveraging existing and new technology, professional services expense has decreased by $0.4 million or 17.0% due to decreased consulting expense related to our foreign exchange platform and decreased recruiting expense.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 25.0% and 24.7%, respectively.
Income tax expense was $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 26.7% and 28.1%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily related to tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds.
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2020, our total assets increased to $2.3 billion compared to $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2019. Shareholders’ equity increased $37.1 million, or 16.0%, to $268.1 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $231.0 million at December 31, 2019. A summary of the individual components driving the changes in total assets, total liabilities and shareholders' equity is discussed below.

Interest Earning Deposits in Other Banks
Interest earning deposits in other banks increased from $132.0 million at December 31, 2019 to $185.7 million at June 30, 2020. The majority of the Company’s interest earning deposits in other banks is cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank earning 0.10% at June 30, 2020 compared to 1.55% at December 31, 2019.
Securities
We use our securities portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, provide an appropriate return on funds invested, manage interest rate risk, meet collateral requirements and meet regulatory capital requirements.
Management classifies investment securities as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale based on our intentions and the Company’s ability to hold such securities until maturity. In determining such classifications, securities that management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold until maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. All other securities are designated as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis. For the years presented, all securities were classified as available-for-sale.
Our securities available-for-sale increased $53.3 million, or 5.9%, from $897.8 million at December 31, 2019 to $951.1 million at June 30, 2020. To supplement interest income earned on our loan portfolio, we invest in high quality mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal bonds and asset backed securities. Our securities portfolio has grown substantially due to the implementation of a hedging strategy and utilizing cash to purchase high quality available-for-sale securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold $216.4 million of fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities and realized a gain on sale of $3.8 million. These securities were originally purchased as part of the hedging strategy in 2019. The proceeds from these sales were reinvested in $249.6 million of highly rated fixed-rate tax-exempt municipal bonds at higher tax-equivalent yields than the commercial mortgage-backed securities that were sold. All municipal bonds purchased are general obligation, revenue or essential purpose bonds that have call dates or maturities in less than 11 years. The municipal bonds that were purchased have similar average lives as the commercial mortgage-backed securities that were sold. Such fixed rate investments help mitigate a decline in interest income in a declining rate environment and provide higher returns compared to lower yielding cash and cash alternatives. The Company also purchased $15.8 million of highly rated fixed-rate taxable municipal bonds and entered into a series of interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as fair value hedges, to convert the bonds from fixed to floating rate yields. In addition, the Company purchased $13.2 million of fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities in March 2020.
The following tables summarize the contractual maturities and weighted-average yields of investment securities at June 30, 2020 and the amortized cost and carrying value of those securities as of the indicated dates.

Loan Portfolio
Our primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by real estate and mortgage warehouse loans. Our loan customers primarily consist of small- to medium-sized businesses, professionals, real estate investors, small residential builders and individuals. Our owner-occupied and investment commercial real estate loans, multi-family loans and commercial and industrial loans provide us with higher risk-adjusted returns, relatively shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and are complemented by our relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. Our commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, construction and commercial and industrial lending activities are primarily directed to our market area of Southern California. Our one-to-four family residential loans and warehouse loans are sourced throughout the United States.
In the first quarter of 2020, we began offering a new pilot product called SEN Leverage, which will allow Silvergate customers to obtain U.S. dollar loans collateralized by bitcoin held at select digital currency exchanges or custodians that are also Silvergate customers. We plan to expand this offering in the latter part of 2020. The outstanding balance of SEN Leverage loans was $20.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and is included in the commercial and industrial loan segment.

Nonperforming Assets
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether such loans are actually past due. In general, we place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due. We also place loans on nonaccrual status if they are less than 90 days past due if the collection of principal or interest is in doubt. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed from income.

49


Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments received exceed principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are, in management’s opinion, reasonably assured. Any loan which the Bank deems to be uncollectible, in whole or in part, is charged off to the extent of the anticipated loss. Loans that are past due for 180 days or more are charged off unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.
We believe our disciplined lending approach and focused management of nonperforming assets has resulted in sound asset quality and timely resolution of problem assets. We have several procedures in place to assist us in maintaining the overall quality of our loan portfolio. We have established underwriting guidelines to be followed by our loan officers, and we also monitor our delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There can be no assurance, however, that our loan portfolio will not become subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions.
Nonperforming loans decreased to $4.5 million, or 0.57% of total loans, at June 30, 2020 compared to $5.9 million, or 0.88% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. The decrease in nonperforming loans during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to principal repayments on nonperforming commercial and industrial loans and payoffs on one-to-four family real estate loans.
Other real estate owned was $51,000 as of June 30, 2020 compared to $0.1 million at December 31, 2019.
Total nonperforming assets were $4.6 million and $6.0 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, or 0.20% and 0.28%, respectively, of total assets.

Loans Grading
From a credit risk standpoint, we grade watchlist and problem loans into one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. We review the ratings on credits regularly. Ratings are adjusted regularly to reflect the degree of risk and loss that our management believes to be appropriate for each credit. Our methodology is structured so that specific reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss). The Bank uses the following definitions for watch list risk ratings: 

50


Pass. Loans in all classes that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.
Special Mention. A special mention loan has potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If uncorrected, such weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in our credit position at some future date.
Substandard. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current financial condition and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. A doubtful loan has all weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss. Credits rated as loss are charged-off. We have no expectation of the recovery of any payments in respect of credits rated as loss.
The following table presents the loan balances by segment as well as risk rating. No assets were classified as loss during the periods presented.

Loan Reviews and Problem Loan Management
Our credit administration staff conducts meetings at least four times a year to review asset quality and loan delinquencies. The Bank’s Lending and Collection Policy requires that we perform annual reviews of every loan of $500,000 or more not rated special mention or adversely classified. Individual loan reviews encompass a loan’s payment status and history, current and projected paying capacity of the borrower and/or guarantor(s), current condition and estimated value of any collateral, sufficiency of credit and collateral documentation, and compliance with Bank and regulatory lending standards. Loan reviewers assign an overall loan risk rating from one of the Bank’s loan rating categories and prepare a written report summarizing the review.
Once a loan is identified as a problem loan or a loan requiring a workout, the Bank makes an evaluation and develops a plan for handling the loan. In developing such a plan, management reviews all relevant information from the loan file and any loan review reports. We have a conversation with the borrower and update current and projected financial information (including borrower global cash flows when possible) and collateral valuation estimates. Following analysis of all available relevant information, management adopts an action plan from the following alternatives: (a) continuation of loan collection efforts on their existing terms, (b) a restructure of the loan’s terms, (c) a sale of the loan, (d) a charge off or partial charge off, (e) foreclosure on pledged collateral, or (f) acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Impaired Loans and TDRs. Impaired loans also include certain loans that have been modified as TDRs. As of June 30, 2020, the Company held seven loans amounting to $1.6 million, which were TDRs, compared to nine loans amounting to $1.8 million at December 31, 2019.
A loan is identified as a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and, for economic or legal reasons related to these difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. The Company has granted a concession when, as a result of the restructuring, it does not expect to collect all amounts due or within the time periods originally due under the original contract, including one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a temporary forbearance with regard to the payment of principal or interest. All TDRs are reviewed for potential impairment. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual status for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can perform under the restructured terms. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan. Loans classified as TDRs are reported as impaired loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
We maintain an allowance for loan losses that represents management’s best estimate of the loan losses and risks inherent in our loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance for loan losses should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts, or at all. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature of our loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates.
In reviewing our loan portfolio, we consider risk elements attributable to particular loan types or categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. Some of the risk elements we consider include: 
For residential mortgage loans, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the debt-to-income ratio and employment and income stability, the loan-to-value ratio, and the age, condition and marketability of the collateral;
For commercial and multi-family mortgage loans, the debt service coverage ratio, operating results of the owner in the case of owner-occupied properties, the loan-to-value ratio, the age and condition of the collateral and the volatility of income, property value and future operating results typical of properties of that type;
For construction loans, the perceived feasibility of the project including the ability to sell improvements constructed for resale, the quality and nature of contracts for presale, if any, experience and ability of the builder, loan-to-cost ratio and loan-to-value ratio;
For commercial and industrial loans, the debt service coverage ratio (income from the business exceeding operating expenses compared to loan repayment requirements), the operating results of the commercial or professional enterprise, the borrower’s business, professional and financial ability and expertise, the specific risks and volatility of income and operating results typical for businesses in that category and the value, nature and marketability of collateral, risks related to new product offerings such as loans secured by bitcoin and the volatility of this particular collateral type; and

52


For mortgage warehouse loans held-for-investment, despite our negligible loss history, we provide a loss allowance factor subject to quarterly adjustment. Mortgage warehouse loans held-for-sale are not subject to any loan loss allowance and are recorded at lower of cost or fair market value.

Our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $6.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, or 0.85% and 1.02% of loans for each respective period-end. The decrease in the ratio allowance for loan losses to gross loans held-for-investment from June 30, 2019 was due to the change in mix in our loan portfolio.
We had $17,000 in charge-offs and no recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Although we believe that we have established our allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP and that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above, future provisions for loan losses will be subject to ongoing evaluations of the risks in our loan portfolio.

We offer a variety of deposit products including interest and noninterest bearing demand accounts, money market and savings accounts and certificates of deposit, all of which we market at competitive pricing. We generate deposits from our customers on a relationship basis and through the efforts of our commercial lending officers. Deposits decreased to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $1.8 billion December 31, 2019. Noninterest bearing deposits totaled $1.6 billion (representing approximately 93.6% of total deposits) at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.3 billion (representing approximately 74.0% of total deposits) at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, deposits by foreign depositors amounted to $650.4 million or 32.5% of total deposits. The decrease in total deposits from December 31, 2019 was driven by a $322.4 million decrease in our callable brokered certificates of deposit which were called during the six months ended June 30, 2020, offset by an increase in deposit levels from our digital currency customers.

Total deposits may not foot due to rounding.
Our cost of total deposits and our cost of funds was 0.62% and 0.68%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to 0.18% and 0.30%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the weighted average cost of deposits compared to the prior period was driven by the addition of new callable brokered certificates of deposit associated with a hedging strategy and the acceleration of $3.4 million premium amortization expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from calling the brokered certificates of deposits, as discussed in “—Results of Operations—Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis” above.

Borrowings
We primarily utilize short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement deposits to fund our lending and investment activities, each of which is discussed below.
FHLB Advances. The FHLB allows us to borrow up to 35% of the Bank’s assets on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by certain securities and loans. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $1.0 billion in real estate loans were pledged as collateral for our FHLB borrowings. We utilize these borrowings to meet liquidity needs and to fund certain fixed rate loans in our portfolio. At June 30, 2020, we had $360.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances and had an additional $193.3 million in available borrowing capacity from the FHLB.
The following table sets forth certain information on our FHLB borrowings during the periods presented:

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The FRB has an available borrower in custody arrangement that allows us to borrow on a collateralized basis. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Federal Reserve’s discount window program

55


was $4.5 million as of June 30, 2020. Certain commercial loans are pledged under this arrangement. We maintain this borrowing arrangement to meet liquidity needs pursuant to our contingency funding plan. No advances were outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2020.
The Company has also issued subordinated debentures and has access to borrow federal funds or lines of credit with correspondent banks. At June 30, 2020, these borrowings amounted to $15.8 million.
Subordinated Debentures. A trust formed by the Company issued $12.5 million of floating rate trust preferred securities in July 2001 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for its proceeds from the offering. The debentures and related accrued interest represent substantially all the assets of the trust. The subordinated debentures bear interest at six-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points, which adjusts every six months in January and July of each year. Interest is payable semiannually. At June 30, 2020, the interest rate for the Company’s next scheduled payment was 5.51%, based on six-month LIBOR of 1.76%. On any January 25 or July 25 the Company may redeem the 2001 subordinated debentures at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The 2001 subordinated debentures mature on July 25, 2031.
A second trust formed by the Company issued $3.0 million of trust preferred securities in January 2005 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for its proceeds from the offering. The debentures and related accrued interest represent substantially all the assets of the trust. The subordinated debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 185 basis points, which adjusts every three months. Interest is payable quarterly. At June 30, 2020, the interest rate for the Company’s next scheduled payment was 2.16%, based on three-month LIBOR of 0.31%. On the 15th day of any March, June, September, or December, the Company may redeem the 2005 subordinated debentures at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The 2005 subordinated debentures mature on March 15, 2035.
The Company also retained a 3% minority interest in each of these trusts which is included in subordinated debentures. The balance of the equity in the trusts is comprised of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The Company has the right to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five years.
Other Borrowings. At June 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding balance of federal funds purchased and had available lines of credit of $68.0 million with other correspondent banks.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the Bank’s capacity to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Bank’s ability to meet both expected and unexpected cash flows and collateral needs efficiently without adversely affecting either daily operations or the financial condition of the Bank. Liquidity risk is the risk that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. The Bank’s obligations, and the funding sources used to meet them, depend significantly on our business mix, balance sheet structure and the cash flow profiles of our on- and off-balance sheet obligations. In managing our cash flows, management regularly confronts situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk. These include funding mismatches, market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash or in accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity) and contingent liquidity events. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operation, legal and reputational risks also could affect the Bank’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in the assessment of liquidity and asset/liability management.
We maintain high levels of liquidity for our customers who operate in the digital currency industry, as these deposits are subject to potentially dramatic fluctuations due to certain factors that may be outside of our control. As a result, our investment portfolio is comprised primarily of mortgage-backed securities backed by government-sponsored entities, collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal bonds, and asset-backed securities.
Management has established a comprehensive management process for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk. Because of its critical importance to the viability of the Bank, liquidity risk management is fully integrated into our risk management processes. Critical elements of our liquidity risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of oversight by the board of directors and active involvement by management; appropriate strategies, policies, procedures, and limits used to manage and mitigate liquidity risk; comprehensive liquidity risk measurement and monitoring systems (including assessments of the current and prospective cash flows or sources and uses of funds) that are commensurate with the complexity and business activities of the Bank; active management of intraday liquidity and collateral; an appropriately diverse mix of existing and potential future funding sources; adequate levels of highly liquid marketable securities free of legal, regulatory or operational impediments, that can be used to meet liquidity needs in stressful situations;

56


comprehensive contingency funding plans that sufficiently address potential adverse liquidity events and emergency cash flow requirements; and internal controls and internal audit processes sufficient to determine the adequacy of the institution’s liquidity risk management process.
The movement of funds on our balance sheet among different SEN deposit customers does not reduce the Bank’s deposits and thus does not present liquidity issues or require any borrowing by the Company or the Bank. In addition, to the extent that SEN participants fully withdraw funds from the Bank, no material liquidity issues or borrowing needs would be presented since the majority of SEN deposit funds are held in cash or other liquid assets, such as available-for-sale securities.
We expect funds to be available from basic banking activity sources, including the core deposit base, the repayment and maturity of loans and investment security cash flows. Other potential funding sources include borrowings from the FHLB, the FRB, other lines of credit and brokered certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2020, we had $360.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances. We did not have any borrowings outstanding with the FRB at June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had an additional $193.3 million of available borrowing capacity from the FHLB, $4.5 million of available borrowing capacity from the FRB and available lines of credit of $68.0 million with other correspondent banks. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 were $199.4 million. Accordingly, our liquidity resources were at sufficient levels to fund loans and meet other cash needs as necessary.
Capital Resources
Shareholders’ equity increased $37.1 million to $268.1 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $231.0 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which amounted to $9.9 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $26.9 million. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income was primarily due to unrealized gains on derivatives purchased in connection with our hedging strategy and unrealized gains on our available-for-sale securities portfolio.
The Bank is 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 material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 1,250%. The Bank is also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio.
In July 2013, federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with certain standards that were developed by Basel III and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule currently applies to all depository institutions and bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $3 billion. The Company has total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion and is currently exempt from the consolidated capital requirements.
As of June 30, 2020, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which it was subject, and was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations. As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we intend to monitor and control our growth to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Items
In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated statements of financial condition. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk exceeding the amounts recognized in our consolidated statements of financial condition. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amounts of these commitments. The same credit policies and procedures are used in making these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. We are not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these commitments; however, we maintain an allowance for off-balance sheet credit risk which is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. For details of our commitments to extend credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit, please refer to “Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies—Off-Balance Sheet Items” of the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional financial measures discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” We identify certain financial measures as non-GAAP financial measures if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, that are not included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our statements of operations, financial condition or

58


cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios that are calculated using exclusively financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain non-GAAP financial measures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in order to present our results of operations for that period on a basis consistent with our historical operations. On November 15, 2018, the Company and the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with HomeStreet Bank to sell the Bank’s retail branch located in San Marcos, California and business loan portfolio to HomeStreet Bank. This transaction, which was completed in March 2019, generated a pre-tax gain on sale of $5.5 million. There were no non-GAAP adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations, are not necessarily comparable to GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names. You should understand how such other companies calculate their financial measures that may be similar or have names that are similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures. Our management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of our performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our Asset Liability Management Policy sets forth guidelines for effective funds management and establishes an approach for measuring and monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity.
Interest rate risk is the probability of an increase or decline in the value of an asset or liability due to fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations have an impact on both the level of interest income and interest expense as well as the market value of all interest earning assets and liabilities. The objective is to measure the impact that different interest rate scenarios

60


have on net interest income and ensure that the results are within policy limits while maximizing income. The results can be reflected as an increase or decrease of future net interest income or an increase or decrease of current fair market value.
Exposure to interest rates is managed by structuring the balance sheet in a ‘business as usual’ or ‘base case’ scenario. We do not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, financial options or financial future contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We hedge interest rate risk by utilizing interest rate floors and interest rate caps. The interest rate floors hedge our cash and securities and the interest rate caps hedge our subordinated debentures. Based on the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.
Exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the board of directors. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital under the current interest rate outlook, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits, and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk that include an analysis of relationships between interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as utilizing an interest rate simulation model where various rate scenarios can be analyzed.
The following table indicates that, for periods less than one year, rate-sensitive assets exceed rate-sensitive liabilities, resulting in an asset-sensitive position. For a bank with an asset-sensitive position, or positive gap, rising interest rates would generally be expected to have a positive effect on net interest income, and falling interest rates would generally be expected to have the opposite effect. Due to our asset sensitive position, we have implemented a hedging strategy to reduce our interest rate risk exposure in a declining rate environment.

We use quarterly Interest Rate Risk, or IRR, simulations to assess the impact of changing interest rates on our net interest income and net income under a variety of scenarios and time horizons. These simulations utilize both instantaneous and parallel changes in the level of interest rates, as well as non-parallel changes such as changing slopes and twists of the yield curve. Static simulation models are based on current exposures and assume a constant balance sheet with no new growth. Dynamic simulation models are also utilized that rely on detailed assumptions regarding changes in existing lines of business, new business, and changes in management and client behavior.
We also use economic value-based methodologies to measure the degree to which the economic values of the Bank’s positions change under different interest rate scenarios. The economic-value approach focuses on a longer-term time horizon and captures all future cash flows expected from existing assets and liabilities. The economic value model utilizes a static approach in that the analysis does not incorporate new business; rather, the analysis shows a snapshot in time of the risk inherent in the balance sheet.
Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our net interest income, such as asset prepayments, non-maturity deposit price sensitivity and decay rates, and key rate drivers. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the model, our actual results may, and most likely will, differ from our static IRR results. In addition, static IRR results do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or client behavior. For example, as part of our asset/liability management strategy, management can increase asset duration and decrease liability duration to reduce asset sensitivity, or to decrease asset duration and increase liability duration in order to increase asset sensitivity.
The following table summarizes the results of our IRR analysis in simulating the change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of June 30, 2020:

Utilizing an economic value of equity, or EVE, approach, we analyze the risk to capital from the effects of various interest rate scenarios through a long-term discounted cash flow model. This measures the difference between the economic value of our assets and the economic value of our liabilities, which is a proxy for our liquidation value. While this provides some value as a risk measurement tool, management believes IRR is more appropriate in accordance with the going concern principle.
The following table illustrates the results of our EVE analysis as of June 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-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 on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. We are from time to time subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and litigation may include, among other things, allegations of violation of banking and other applicable regulations, competition law, labor laws and consumer protection laws, as well as claims or litigation relating to intellectual property, securities, breach of contract and tort. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against any pending or future claims and litigation.
In the current opinion of management, the likelihood is remote that the impact of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention and may materially adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The section titled Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K includes a discussion of the many risks and uncertainties we face, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition (including capital and liquidity), or prospects or the value of or return on an investment in the Company. The information presented below provides an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and other information contained in our 2019 Form 10-K.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets and could harm our business and results of operations.
In December 2019, COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since then, COVID-19 infections have spread to additional countries including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding this pandemic, it is difficult to predict the impact of the pandemic on our business, and there is no guarantee that our efforts to address or mitigate the adverse impacts of the coronavirus pandemic will be effective. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets. This volatility has had and, if it continues, could continue to have an adverse impact on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as our growth strategy.
Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to our customers’ businesses, and a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. In addition, recent actions by U.S. federal, state and local governments to address the pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, has had and may continue to have a significant adverse effect on our customers and the markets in which we conduct our business. The extent of impacts resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and other events beyond our control will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.
Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans. The escalation of the pandemic may also negatively impact regional economic conditions for a period of time, resulting in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates or is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the U.S. federal, state and local governmental responses may result in a disruption in the services we provide. We rely on our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services or experience interruptions in their ability to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Furthermore, the coronavirus pandemic could negatively impact the ability of our employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which we operate and could create widespread business continuity issues

63


for us. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to infection, quarantine or other effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreak in our market areas. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective. If we are unable to promptly recover from such business disruptions, our business and financial conditions and results of operations would be adversely affected. We also may incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Interest rate volatility stemming from COVID-19 could negatively affect our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability.
Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on markets and stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions may increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results, or financial condition.
We are subject to increasing credit risk as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could adversely impact our profitability.
Our business depends on our ability to successfully measure and manage credit risk. As a commercial lender, we are exposed to the risk that the principal of, or interest on, a loan will not be paid timely or at all or that the value of any collateral supporting a loan will be insufficient to cover our outstanding exposure. In addition, we are exposed to risks with respect to the risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions and risks inherent in dealing with individual loans and borrowers. As the overall economic climate in the U.S., generally, and in our market areas specifically, experiences material disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our borrowers may experience difficulties in repaying their loans and governmental actions may provide payment relief to borrowers affected by COVID-19 and preclude our ability to initiate foreclosure proceedings in certain circumstances and, as a result, the collateral we hold may decrease in value or become illiquid, and the level of our nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require significant additional provisions for credit losses. Additional factors related to the credit quality of certain commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans include the duration of state and local moratoriums on evictions for non-payment of rent or other fees. The payment on these loans that are secured by income producing properties are typically dependent on the successful operation of the related real estate property and may subject us to risks from adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy.
We are actively working to support our borrowers to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on them and on our loan portfolio, including through loan modifications that defer payments for those who experienced a hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although recent regulatory guidance provides that such loan modifications are exempt from the calculation and reporting of TDRs and loan delinquencies, we cannot predict whether such loan modifications may ultimately have an adverse impact on our profitability in future periods. Our inability to successfully manage the increased credit risk caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unpredictable future developments related to or resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in a similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks, although the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any specific prediction as to its ultimate impact on us. However, if the pandemic continues to spread or otherwise results in a continuation or worsening of the current economic and commercial environments, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios could be materially adversely affected and many of the risks described in our 2019 Form 10-K will be heightened.

Exhibit 10.1

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made August 7, 2020 (“Effective Date”), by and between Silvergate Bank, a California chartered commercial bank (the “Bank”), and Silvergate Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, (the “Parent”), and Alan J. Lane (“Executive”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.     Engagement; Position and Duties.
(a)    Position and Duties. The Bank agrees to employ Executive in the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reporting to the Board of Directors. Executive shall devote best efforts, skills and abilities, on a full-time basis, exclusively to the Bank’s business, performing the duties as directed and required by the Board of Directors. Executive covenants and agrees to faithfully adhere to and fulfill such policies as are established from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Bank (“Policies”).
(b)     Performance of Services for Related Companies. In addition to the performance of services for Bank, Executive shall, to the extent so required by Bank, also perform services for one or more members of a consolidated group of which Parent is a part (“Related Company”), provided that such services are consistent with the kind of services Executive performs or may be required to perform for Bank under this Agreement. If Executive performs any services for any Related Company, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or remuneration in addition to or in lieu of the compensation and remuneration provided under this Agreement on account of such services for the Related Company. The Policies will govern Executive’s employment by Bank and any Related Companies for which Executive is asked to provide Services. In addition, Executive covenants and agrees that Executive will faithfully adhere to and fulfill such additional policies as may be established from time to time by the board of directors of any Related Company for which Executive performs services, to the extent that such policies and procedures differ from or are in addition to the Policies adopted by Bank.
(c)     No Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or that would prohibit or hinder Executive, contractually or otherwise, from performing Executive’s duties as under this Agreement and the Policies.
(d)     No Unauthorized Use of Third-Party Intellectual Property. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive will not use or disclose, in connection with Executive’s employment by Bank or any Related Company, any patents, trade secrets, confidential information, or other proprietary information or intellectual property as to which any other person or entity has any right, title or interest, except to the extent that Bank or a Related Company holds a valid license or other written permission for such use from the owner(s) thereof. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive has returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.
2.     Compensation.
(a)     Base Salary. During the term of this Agreement, Bank shall pay to the Executive a salary of $492,003 annually. Executive’s salary shall be paid in equal bi-weekly installments, consistent with Bank’s regular salary payment practices. Executive’s salary may be increased from time-to-time

by Bank, in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, without affecting this Agreement. All compensation shall be subject to the customary withholding tax and other employment taxes and deductions as required by law. As an exempt employee, you will not be eligible for overtime.
(b)     Bonus. Executive will be eligible to participate in Silvergate Bank Discretionary Annual Cash Bonus Plan (the terms of the Plan which Executive agrees to be bound by), with an initial annual bonus target equal to 75% of Executive’s annual base salary.  For 2020, Executive’s annual bonus, if eligible, will be prorated based on the base salary earned.
Executive agrees that the Board of Directors and Bank are not obligated to adopt any bonus plan, to maintain in effect any bonus plan that may now be in effect or that may be adopted during the term of Executive’s employment, or to pay Executive a bonus unless a bonus is earned under the terms and conditions of any bonus plan adopted by Bank.
(c)    Long-Term Incentive. Executive may (subject to Bank’s discretion) be granted an annual long-term incentive benefit, comprised of restricted stock and options, subject to the terms and progressive vesting contained in the 2018 Equity Compensation Plan. Bank retains full discretion over the type and terms of the long-term incentive benefit.
(d)     Expense Reimbursements. Bank or a Related Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable travel and other business expenses (but not expenses of commuting to a primary workplace) incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, subject to the Policies and procedures in effect from time to time. Bank’s business expense reimbursement protocol can be found in the Expense Administration Policy located on Bank’s intranet, SharePoint.
(e)     Benefit Plans. Bank will provide Executive a comprehensive package of health, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits. Executive’s eligibility for those benefits is effective on the first day of the month following Executive’s date of hire.
Eligibility in Bank’s 401(k) Plan commences on the first day of the quarter following Executive’s date of hire. Bank currently contributes a discretionary match on a quarterly basis of 50% of the first 5% of elective deferrals. Bank’s contribution level is subject to change at its sole discretion.
Bank has the right, at any time and without any amendment of this Agreement, and without prior notice to or consent from Executive, to adopt, amend, change, or terminate any such benefit plans that may now be in effect or that may be adopted in the future, in each case without any further financial obligation to Executive; provided that such unilateral change does not apply to Executive in a manner different than other Bank executives or employees of a comparable executive level, except for changes required by applicable federal, state, or local law, or implemented in response to any change of federal, state or local law or regulation. Any benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any benefit plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plan, and any related plan documents, as in effect from time to time.
(f)    Vacation; Sick Leave. Executive will be entitled to thirty (30) days of vacation per year, accrued at a rate of 9.23 hours per pay period. As well as, six (6) sick days per year, accrued at a rate of one hour per 30 hours worked per pay period up to a maximum of 48 hours per year. Bank recognizes all standard federal holidays. Executive is subject to all paid time off policies as noted in the Employee Handbook.
Executive’s vacation shall be taken at such time as is consistent with the needs and Policies of Bank and its Related Companies. Executive’s right to leave from work due to illness is subject to

2



the Policies and the provisions of this Agreement governing termination due to disability, sickness or illness. The Policies governing the disposition of unused vacation days and sick leave days remaining at the end of Bank’s fiscal year shall govern the use of unused vacation days or sick leave days.
3.     Competitive Activities.
During the term of Executive’s employment, and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive shall not, for Executive or any third party, directly or indirectly employ, solicit for employment or recommend for employment any person employed by Bank or any Related Company. During the term of Executive’s employment, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly as an employee, contractor, officer, director, member, partner, agent, or equity owner, engage in any activity or business that competes or could reasonably be expected to compete with the business of Bank or any Related Company. Executive acknowledges that there is a substantial likelihood that the activities described in this Section would (a) involve the unauthorized use or disclosure of Bank’s or a Related Company’s Confidential Information and that use or disclosure would be extremely difficult to detect, and (b) result in substantial competitive harm to the business of Bank or a Related Company. Executive has accepted the limitations of this Section as a reasonably practicable and unrestrictive means of preventing such use or disclosure of Confidential Information and preventing such competitive harm.
4.     Intellectual Property and Confidential Information.
Executive acknowledges the execution and delivery to Bank of the Confidentiality and Security Agreement (the “Confidentiality and Security Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5.     Termination of Employment.
Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s employment has no specific term. This Agreement, and the employment relationship, are “at will” and may be terminated by Executive or by Bank (and the employment of Executive by any Related Company) with or without cause at any time by notice given orally or in writing. Except as otherwise agreed in writing or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon termination of Executive’s employment, Bank and the Related Companies shall have no further obligation to Executive, by way of compensation or otherwise, as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any separate employment agreement that might then exist between Executive and a Related Company.
(a)     Payments Due Upon Termination of Employment. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with Bank at any time and for any reason, in the event of the termination of Executive’s employment by Bank for Cause, or termination of Executive’s employment as a result of death, Disability, or resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive only the severance benefits set forth below, and Executive will not be entitled to any other compensation, award, or damages with respect to Executive’s employment or termination of employment.
(i)     Termination for Cause, Death, Disability, or Resignation. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment by Bank for Cause, or termination of Executive’s employment as a result of death, Disability, or resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive payment for all accrued but unpaid salary actually earned prior to or as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment, and vacation or paid time off accrued as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment. Executive will not be entitled to any cash severance benefits or additional vesting of any stock options or other equity or cash awards.
(ii)     Termination Without Cause. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment by Bank without Cause, Executive will be entitled to:

3



(A) the benefits set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section;
(B) twenty-four (24) months of base salary, which may be paid in a lump sum or, at the election of Bank, in installments consistent with the payment of Executive’s salary while employed by Bank, subject to such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law;
(C) payment in full of the prorated target Bonus due for the year in which Executive was terminated without Cause and any Bonus due for the previous completed performance period (if not previously paid), subject to such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law; and

This paragraph (a)(ii), shall not apply to termination of Executive’s employment by a Related Company if Executive remains employed by Bank, or termination of Executive’s employment by Bank if Executive remains employed by a Related Company as long as there is no material diminution in Executive’s duties and responsibilities or base salary and other incentive opportunities.
(iii)     Change of Control. If Bank (or any successor in interest to Bank that has assumed Bank’s obligation under this Agreement) terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, Executive will be entitled to the benefits set forth in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section. After the twelve (12) months period contemplated in this paragraph (a)(iii), the benefits of this paragraph (a)(iii) expire and the terms provided for in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Section will apply.
This paragraph (a)(iii) shall not apply to termination of Executive’s employment by a Related Company if Executive remains employed by Bank or a successor in interest, or termination of Executive’s employment by Bank or a successor in interest if Executive remains employed by a Related Company.
(b)     Release. Bank’s obligation to make such payments under paragraphs (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) of this Section and provide any other such benefits contemplated herein shall be contingent upon:
(i)     Executive’s execution of a release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Bank (the “Release”), which Release must be signed and any applicable revocation period with respect thereto must have expired by the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment. The Release will not waive any of Executive’s rights, or obligations of Bank or its successor in interest and the Related Companies, regarding: (1) any right to indemnification and/or contribution, advancement or payment of related expenses Executive may have pursuant to Bank’s Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, under any written indemnification or other agreement between the parties, and/or under applicable law; (2) any rights that Executive may have to insurance coverage under any directors and officers liability insurance, other insurance policies of the Bank, COBRA or any similar state law; (3) any claims for worker’s compensation, state disability or unemployment insurance benefits, or any other claims that cannot be released as a matter of applicable law; (4) rights to any vested benefits under any stock, compensation or other employee benefit plan of the Bank; (5) any rights Executive may

4



have as an existing shareholder of the Bank; and (6) any claims arising after the effective date of the Release. Nothing in the Release or any other agreement between Executive and Bank will prohibit or prevent Executive from providing truthful testimony or otherwise responding accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information or documents when required by legal process, subpoena, notice, court order or law (including, without limitation, in any criminal, civil, or regulatory proceeding or investigation), or as necessary in any action for enforcement or claimed breach of this Agreement or any other legal dispute with the Bank. If the Release has been signed and any applicable revocation period has expired prior to the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment, then the severance payments above may be made on such earlier date; provided, however, that if the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment occurs in the calendar year following the year of Executive’s termination date, then the payments shall not be made earlier than January 1 of such subsequent calendar year; and
(ii)     Executive’s tendering a written resignation as a director, if serving as a director of Bank or any Related Company, as provided in Section 7.
(c)     Section 280G of the Code.
(i)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment, distribution, or other benefit provided by the Bank to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”), (x) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (y) but for this Section 5(c) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision thereto (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be either:
(A)     delivered in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(B)     delivered to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of the payment being subject to the Excise Tax, as determined in accordance with Section 5(b).
(ii)     The determination of whether Section 5(c)(i)(A) or Section 5(c)(i)(B) shall be given effect shall be made by the Bank on the basis of which of such clauses results in the receipt by Executive of the greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined herein) of the aggregate Payments. The term “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code) of the payments net of all applicable federal, state and local income, employment, and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax.
(iii)    If Section 5(c)(i)(B) is given effect, the reduction shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following: first by reducing, on a pro rata basis, cash Payments that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code; second by reducing, on a pro rata basis, other cash Payments; and third by forfeiting any equity-based awards that vest and become payable, starting with the most recent equity-based awards that vest, to the extent necessary to accomplish such reduction.
(iv)     Unless the Bank and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5(c) shall be made by the Bank’s independent accountants or compensation consultants (the “Third Party”), and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto. The Bank and Executive shall furnish to the Third Party

A101IMAGE1.JPG
Confidentiality and Security Agreement


Silvergate Bank (the “Bank”) regards the security and confidentiality of data and information to be of utmost importance. Further, it is the intent of this Agreement to ensure that confidential information, in any format, is not divulged outside of the Bank without explicit approval to do so by the Board of Directors, senior management, or the Chief Information Security Officer of the Bank. The Bank requires all users of data and information to follow the procedures outlined herein.

Policy of Confidentiality of Data
Each individual granted access to data (customer and proprietary corporate data) and hardcopy information holds a position of trust and must preserve the security and confidentiality of the information he/she uses. Users of Bank data and information are required to abide by all applicable federal and State guidelines, regulations and laws, and Bank policies regarding the confidentiality of data, including but not limited to the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act (GLBA), Regulation P, California SB-1, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All users of Bank data and information must read and understand how the Bank policies regarding the privacy and security of customer and Bank data apply to their respective job functions. All users with access to our core Bank system or other Bank computer systems acknowledge that they have read and agree to abide by the Bank’s Acceptable Use Policy.
Any individual with authorized access to the Bank’s computer information system, records, or files, is given access to use the Bank’s data or files solely for the business of the Bank and must not divulge this information outside of the Bank or to other Bank employees/interns unless a valid business purpose exists.
Specifically, with respect to Bank records or information, individuals must:
Access data solely in order to perform his/her job responsibilities;
Not seek personal benefit or permit others to benefit personally from any data that has come to them through their work assignments;
Not make or permit unauthorized use of any information in the Bank’s information systems or records;
Not enter, change, delete, or add data to any information system or files outside the scope of their job responsibilities, that is in conflict with a Bank policy, or has malicious, fraudulent, or negligent intent;
Not include or cause to be included in any record or report a false, inaccurate, or misleading entry known to the user as such;
Not alter or delete or cause to be altered or deleted from any records, report or information system, a true and correct entry;
Not release Bank data other than what is required for the completion of job responsibilities;
Not exhibit or divulge the contents of any record, file, or information system to any person unless it is necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities.


1



It is the individual’s responsibility to report immediately to his/her supervisor and/or to the Bank’s Chief Information Security Officer any violation of this Agreement or any other action that violates customer confidentiality or the confidentiality of Bank data.

Security Measures and Procedures
All users of Bank information systems are supplied with an individual user account to access the data necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities. Users of the Bank’s information systems are required to follow the procedures below:
All transactions processed by a user ID and password are the responsibility of the person to whom the user ID was assigned. The user ID and password must remain confidential and must not be shared with anyone.
§
Using someone else’s password is a violation of policy, no matter how it was obtained.
§
To reduce the risk of passwords being shared, passwords are not to be posted on or near workstations.
§
It is each individual’s responsibility to change their password immediately if there is a belief that someone else has or could have obtained it.
§
Passwords must be changed periodically and/or if there is reason to believe they have been compromised or revealed inadvertently.
Access to any customer or employee/intern information (in any format) is to be determined based on specific job requirements. Users are prohibited from viewing or accessing additional information (in any format) unless authorized to do so. Any access obtained without authorization is considered unauthorized access. Users may not divulge customer or employee/intern information to any third party without specific approval from senior management or the Chief Information Security Officer.
To prevent unauthorized access, users must log off of all applications that are sensitive in nature, such as customer/employee/intern personal information, when leaving their workstation. Users agree to log off or secure their workstations during any period of absence.
Temporary employees and interns should not have access to Bank systems, by default. Written approval from senior management and the Chief Information Officer is required if it is determined that access is required.
Users agree to properly secure and dispose of any outputs or files created or used in the course of their job functions in a manner that fully protects the confidentiality of the records.
Customer and employee/intern data must be secured during any absence from a user’s workstation.

By my signature below, I agree to and understand the contents of this Confidentiality and Security Agreement. I understand that, if granted access to process transactions via our core Bank System or other Bank information systems, any information I enter or change is effective immediately. Accordingly, I understand I am responsible for any entries made using my user ID. I agree not to share or divulge my user ID or PIN/password to any other individuals.


2



I understand that my access to Bank data and information systems is for the sole purpose of carrying out my job responsibilities, and confidential information is not to be divulged outside of the Bank, except as stated herein. Breach of confidentiality, including aiding, abetting, or acting in conspiracy with any other person to violate any part of this Agreement, or any laws and regulations including, but not limited to, GLBA, California SB-1, HIPAA, and Regulation P, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made August 7, 2020 (“Effective Date”), by and between Silvergate Bank, a California chartered commercial bank (the “Bank”), and Silvergate Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, (the “Parent”), and Derek J. Eisele (“Executive”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.     Engagement; Position and Duties.
(a)    Position and Duties. The Bank agrees to employ Executive in the position of President and Chief Credit Officer, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Executive shall devote best efforts, skills and abilities, on a full-time basis, exclusively to the Bank’s business, performing the duties as directed and required by the CEO. The Bank retains the right to change the position title and reporting relationship from time to time but such changes shall not otherwise alter the terms of this agreement, unless mutually agreed to by the Executive and the Bank. Executive covenants and agrees to faithfully adhere to and fulfill such policies as are established from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Bank (“Policies”).
(b)     Performance of Services for Related Companies. In addition to the performance of services for Bank, Executive shall, to the extent so required by Bank, also perform services for one or more members of a consolidated group of which Parent is a part (“Related Company”), provided that such services are consistent with the kind of services Executive performs or may be required to perform for Bank under this Agreement. If Executive performs any services for any Related Company, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or remuneration in addition to or in lieu of the compensation and remuneration provided under this Agreement on account of such services for the Related Company. The Policies will govern Executive’s employment by Bank and any Related Companies for which Executive is asked to provide Services. In addition, Executive covenants and agrees that Executive will faithfully adhere to and fulfill such additional policies as may be established from time to time by the board of directors of any Related Company for which Executive performs services, to the extent that such policies and procedures differ from or are in addition to the Policies adopted by Bank.
(c)     No Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or that would prohibit or hinder Executive, contractually or otherwise, from performing Executive’s duties as under this Agreement and the Policies.
(d)     No Unauthorized Use of Third-Party Intellectual Property. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive will not use or disclose, in connection with Executive’s employment by Bank or any Related Company, any patents, trade secrets, confidential information, or other proprietary information or intellectual property as to which any other person or entity has any right, title or interest, except to the extent that Bank or a Related Company holds a valid license or other written permission for such use from the owner(s) thereof.

Executive may (subject to Bank’s discretion) be granted an annual long-term incentive benefit, comprised of restricted stock and options, subject to the terms and progressive vesting contained in the 2018 Equity Compensation Plan. Bank retains full discretion over the type and terms of the long-term incentive benefit.
(d)     Expense Reimbursements. Bank or a Related Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable travel and other business expenses (but not expenses of commuting to a primary workplace) incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, subject to the Policies and procedures in effect from time to time. Bank’s business expense reimbursement protocol can be found in the Expense Administration Policy located on Bank’s intranet, SharePoint.
(e)     Benefit Plans. Bank will provide Executive a comprehensive package of health, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits. Executive’s eligibility for those benefits is effective on the first day of the month following Executive’s date of hire.
Eligibility in Bank’s 401(k) Plan commences on the first day of the quarter following Executive’s date of hire. Bank currently contributes a discretionary match on a quarterly basis of 50% of the first 5% of elective deferrals. Bank’s contribution level is subject to change at its sole discretion.
Bank has the right, at any time and without any amendment of this Agreement, and without prior notice to or consent from Executive, to adopt, amend, change, or terminate any such benefit plans that may now be in effect or that may be adopted in the future, in each case without any further financial obligation to Executive; provided that such unilateral change does not apply to Executive in a manner different than other Bank executives or employees of a comparable executive level, except for changes required by applicable federal, state, or local law, or implemented in response to any change of federal, state or local law or regulation. Any benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any benefit plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plan, and any related plan documents, as in effect from time to time.

Executive’s vacation shall be taken at such time as is consistent with the needs and Policies of Bank and its Related Companies. Executive’s right to leave from work due to illness is subject to the Policies and the provisions of this Agreement governing termination due to disability, sickness or illness. The Policies governing the disposition of unused vacation days and sick leave days remaining at the end of Bank’s fiscal year shall govern the use of unused vacation days or sick leave days.
3.     Competitive Activities.
During the term of Executive’s employment, and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive shall not, for Executive or any third party, directly or indirectly employ, solicit for employment or recommend for employment any person employed by Bank or any Related Company. During the term of Executive’s employment, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly as an employee, contractor, officer, director, member, partner, agent, or equity owner, engage in any activity or business that competes or could reasonably be expected to compete with the business of Bank or any Related Company. Executive acknowledges that there is a substantial likelihood that the activities described in this Section would (a) involve the unauthorized use or disclosure of Bank’s or a Related Company’s Confidential Information and that use or disclosure would be extremely difficult to detect, and (b) result in substantial competitive harm to the business of Bank or a Related Company. Executive has accepted the limitations of this Section as a reasonably practicable and unrestrictive means of preventing such use or disclosure of Confidential Information and preventing such competitive harm.
4.     Intellectual Property and Confidential Information.
Executive acknowledges the execution and delivery to Bank of the Confidentiality and Security Agreement (the “Confidentiality and Security Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5.     Termination of Employment.
Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s employment has no specific term. This Agreement, and the employment relationship, are “at will” and may be terminated by Executive or by Bank (and the employment of Executive by any Related Company) with or without cause at any time by notice given orally or in writing. Except as otherwise agreed in writing or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon termination of Executive’s employment, Bank and the Related Companies shall have no further obligation to Executive, by way of compensation or otherwise, as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any separate employment agreement that might then exist between Executive and a Related Company.

Executive will not be entitled to any cash severance benefits or additional vesting of any stock options or other equity or cash awards.
(ii)     Termination Without Cause. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment by Bank without Cause, Executive will be entitled to:
(A) the benefits set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section;
(B) twelve (12) months of base salary, which may be paid in a lump sum or, at the election of Bank, in installments consistent with the payment of Executive’s salary while employed by Bank, subject to such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law;

This paragraph (a)(iii) shall not apply to termination of Executive’s employment by a Related Company if Executive remains employed by Bank or a successor in interest, or termination of Executive’s employment by Bank or a successor in interest if Executive remains employed by a Related Company.
(b)     Release. Bank’s obligation to make such payments under paragraphs (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) of this Section and provide any other such benefits contemplated herein shall be contingent upon:
(i)     Executive’s execution of a release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Bank (the “Release”), which Release must be signed and any applicable revocation period with

4



respect thereto must have expired by the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment. The Release will not waive any of Executive’s rights, or obligations of Bank or its successor in interest and the Related Companies, regarding: (1) any right to indemnification and/or contribution, advancement or payment of related expenses Executive may have pursuant to Bank’s Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, under any written indemnification or other agreement between the parties, and/or under applicable law; (2) any rights that Executive may have to insurance coverage under any directors and officers liability insurance, other insurance policies of the Bank, COBRA or any similar state law; (3) any claims for worker’s compensation, state disability or unemployment insurance benefits, or any other claims that cannot be released as a matter of applicable law; (4) rights to any vested benefits under any stock, compensation or other employee benefit plan of the Bank; (5) any rights Executive may have as an existing shareholder of the Bank; and (6) any claims arising after the effective date of the Release.

If the Release has been signed and any applicable revocation period has expired prior to the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment, then the severance payments above may be made on such earlier date; provided, however, that if the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment occurs in the calendar year following the year of Executive’s termination date, then the payments shall not be made earlier than January 1 of such subsequent calendar year; and

(A)     delivered in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(B)     delivered to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of the payment being subject to the Excise Tax, as determined in accordance with Section 5(b).
(ii)     The determination of whether Section 5(c)(i)(A) or Section 5(c)(i)(B) shall be given effect shall be made by the Bank on the basis of which of such clauses results in the receipt by Executive of the greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined herein) of the aggregate Payments. The term “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in

5



accordance with Section 280G of the Code) of the payments net of all applicable federal, state and local income, employment, and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax.
(iii)    If Section 5(c)(i)(B) is given effect, the reduction shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following: first by reducing, on a pro rata basis, cash Payments that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code; second by reducing, on a pro rata basis, other cash Payments; and third by forfeiting any equity-based awards that vest and become payable, starting with the most recent equity-based awards that vest, to the extent necessary to accomplish such reduction.
(iv)     Unless the Bank and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5(c) shall be made by the Bank’s independent accountants or compensation consultants (the “Third Party”), and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto.

Confidentiality and Security Agreement



Silvergate Bank (the “Bank”) regards the security and confidentiality of data and information to be of utmost importance. Further, it is the intent of this Agreement to ensure that confidential information, in any format, is not divulged outside of the Bank without explicit approval to do so by the Board of Directors, senior management, or the Chief Information Security Officer of the Bank. The Bank requires all users of data and information to follow the procedures outlined herein.

Policy of Confidentiality of Data
Each individual granted access to data (customer and proprietary corporate data) and hardcopy information holds a position of trust and must preserve the security and confidentiality of the information he/she uses. Users of Bank data and information are required to abide by all applicable federal and State guidelines, regulations and laws, and Bank policies regarding the confidentiality of data, including but not limited to the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act (GLBA), Regulation P, California SB-1, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All users of Bank data and information must read and understand how the Bank policies regarding the privacy and security of customer and Bank data apply to their respective job functions. All users with access to our core Bank system or other Bank computer systems acknowledge that they have read and agree to abide by the Bank’s Acceptable Use Policy.
Any individual with authorized access to the Bank’s computer information system, records, or files, is given access to use the Bank’s data or files solely for the business of the Bank and must not divulge this information outside of the Bank or to other Bank employees/interns unless a valid business purpose exists.
Specifically, with respect to Bank records or information, individuals must:
Access data solely in order to perform his/her job responsibilities;
Not seek personal benefit or permit others to benefit personally from any data that has come to them through their work assignments;
Not make or permit unauthorized use of any information in the Bank’s information systems or records;
Not enter, change, delete, or add data to any information system or files outside the scope of their job responsibilities, that is in conflict with a Bank policy, or has malicious, fraudulent, or negligent intent;
Not include or cause to be included in any record or report a false, inaccurate, or misleading entry known to the user as such;
Not alter or delete or cause to be altered or deleted from any records, report or information system, a true and correct entry;
Not release Bank data other than what is required for the completion of job responsibilities;
Not exhibit or divulge the contents of any record, file, or information system to any person unless it is necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities.

It is the individual’s responsibility to report immediately to his/her supervisor and/or to the Bank’s Chief Information Security Officer any violation of this Agreement or any other action that violates customer confidentiality or the confidentiality of Bank data.

Security Measures and Procedures
All users of Bank information systems are supplied with an individual user account to access the data necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities. Users of the Bank’s information systems are required to follow the procedures below:
All transactions processed by a user ID and password are the responsibility of the person to whom the user ID was assigned. The user ID and password must remain confidential and must not be shared with anyone.
§
Using someone else’s password is a violation of policy, no matter how it was obtained.
§
To reduce the risk of passwords being shared, passwords are not to be posted on or near workstations.
§
It is each individual’s responsibility to change their password immediately if there is a belief that someone else has or could have obtained it.
§
Passwords must be changed periodically and/or if there is reason to believe they have been compromised or revealed inadvertently.
Access to any customer or employee/intern information (in any format) is to be determined based on specific job requirements. Users are prohibited from viewing or accessing additional information (in any format) unless authorized to do so. Any access obtained without authorization is considered unauthorized access. Users may not divulge customer or employee/intern information to any third party without specific approval from senior management or the Chief Information Security Officer.
To prevent unauthorized access, users must log off of all applications that are sensitive in nature, such as customer/employee/intern personal information, when leaving their workstation. Users agree to log off or secure their workstations during any period of absence.
Temporary employees and interns should not have access to Bank systems, by default. Written approval from senior management and the Chief Information Officer is required if it is determined that access is required.
Users agree to properly secure and dispose of any outputs or files created or used in the course of their job functions in a manner that fully protects the confidentiality of the records.
Customer and employee/intern data must be secured during any absence from a user’s workstation.

By my signature below, I agree to and understand the contents of this Confidentiality and Security Agreement. I understand that, if granted access to process transactions via our core Bank System or other Bank information systems, any information I enter or change is effective immediately. Accordingly, I understand I am responsible for any entries made using my user ID. I agree not to share or divulge my user ID or PIN/password to any other individuals.


2



I understand that my access to Bank data and information systems is for the sole purpose of carrying out my job responsibilities, and confidential information is not to be divulged outside of the Bank, except as stated herein. Breach of confidentiality, including aiding, abetting, or acting in conspiracy with any other person to violate any part of this Agreement, or any laws and regulations including, but not limited to, GLBA, California SB-1, HIPAA, and Regulation P, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made August 7, 2020 (“Effective Date”), by and between Silvergate Bank, a California chartered commercial bank (the “Bank”), and Silvergate Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, (the “Parent”), and Benjamin C. Reynolds (“Executive”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.     Engagement; Position and Duties.
(a)    Position and Duties. The Bank agrees to employ Executive in the position of Executive Vice President, Director of Corporate Development reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Executive shall devote best efforts, skills and abilities, on a full-time basis, exclusively to the Bank’s business, performing the duties as directed and required by the CEO. The Bank retains the right to change the position title and reporting relationship from time to time, but such changes shall not otherwise alter the terms of this agreement, unless mutually agreed to by the Executive and the Bank. Executive covenants and agrees to faithfully adhere to and fulfill such policies as are established from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Bank (“Policies”).
(b)     Performance of Services for Related Companies. In addition to the performance of services for Bank, Executive shall, to the extent so required by Bank, also perform services for one or more members of a consolidated group of which Parent is a part (“Related Company”), provided that such services are consistent with the kind of services Executive performs or may be required to perform for Bank under this Agreement. If Executive performs any services for any Related Company, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or remuneration in addition to or in lieu of the compensation and remuneration provided under this Agreement on account of such services for the Related Company. The Policies will govern Executive’s employment by Bank and any Related Companies for which Executive is asked to provide Services. In addition, Executive covenants and agrees that Executive will faithfully adhere to and fulfill such additional policies as may be established from time to time by the board of directors of any Related Company for which Executive performs services, to the extent that such policies and procedures differ from or are in addition to the Policies adopted by Bank.
(c)     No Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or that would prohibit or hinder Executive, contractually or otherwise, from performing Executive’s duties as under this Agreement and the Policies.
(d)     No Unauthorized Use of Third-Party Intellectual Property. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive will not use or disclose, in connection with Executive’s employment by Bank or any Related Company, any patents, trade secrets, confidential information, or other proprietary information or intellectual property as to which any other person or entity has any right, title or interest, except to the extent that Bank or a Related Company holds a valid license or other written permission for such use from the owner(s) thereof. Executive represents and warrants to Bank that Executive has returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.
2.     Compensation.

1



(a)     Base Salary. During the term of this Agreement, Bank shall pay to the Executive a salary of $281,008 annually. Executive’s salary shall be paid in equal bi-weekly installments, consistent with Bank’s regular salary payment practices. Executive’s salary may be increased from time-to-time by Bank, in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, without affecting this Agreement.

By executing this Agreement, Executive ends his participation in the Incentive Compensation Plan. Payments under the executed Incentive Compensation Plan will only be made for the first and second quarters in 2020.
Executive agrees that the Board of Directors and Bank are not obligated to adopt any bonus plan, to maintain in effect any bonus plan that may now be in effect or that may be adopted during the term of Executive’s employment, or to pay Executive a bonus unless a bonus is earned under the terms and conditions of any bonus plan adopted by Bank.
(c)    Long-Term Incentive. Executive may (subject to Bank’s discretion) be granted an annual long-term incentive benefit, comprised of restricted stock and options, subject to the terms and progressive vesting contained in the 2018 Equity Compensation Plan. Bank retains full discretion over the type and terms of the long-term incentive benefit.
(d)     Expense Reimbursements. Bank or a Related Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable travel and other business expenses (but not expenses of commuting to a primary workplace) incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, subject to the Policies and procedures in effect from time to time. Bank’s business expense reimbursement protocol can be found in the Expense Administration Policy located on Bank’s intranet, SharePoint.
(e)     Benefit Plans. Bank will provide Executive a comprehensive package of health, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits. Executive’s eligibility for those benefits is effective on the first day of the month following Executive’s date of hire.
Eligibility in Bank’s 401(k) Plan commences on the first day of the quarter following Executive’s date of hire. Bank currently contributes a discretionary match on a quarterly basis of 50% of the first 5% of elective deferrals. Bank’s contribution level is subject to change at its sole discretion.
Bank has the right, at any time and without any amendment of this Agreement, and without prior notice to or consent from Executive, to adopt, amend, change, or terminate any such benefit plans that may now be in effect or that may be adopted in the future, in each case without any further financial obligation to Executive; provided that such unilateral change does not apply to Executive in a manner different than other Bank executives or employees of a comparable executive level, except for changes required by applicable federal, state, or local law, or implemented in response to any change of federal, state or local law or regulation. Any benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any benefit plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plan, and any related plan documents, as in effect from time to time.

(f)    Vacation; Sick Leave. Executive will be entitled to twenty (20) days of vacation per year, accrued at a rate of 6.15 hours per pay period. As well as, six (6) sick days per year, accrued at a rate of one hour per 30 hours worked per pay period up to a maximum of 48 hours per year. Bank recognizes all standard federal holidays. Executive is subject to all paid time off policies as noted in the Employee Handbook.
Executive’s vacation shall be taken at such time as is consistent with the needs and Policies of Bank and its Related Companies. Executive’s right to leave from work due to illness is subject to the Policies and the provisions of this Agreement governing termination due to disability, sickness or illness. The Policies governing the disposition of unused vacation days and sick leave days remaining at the end of Bank’s fiscal year shall govern the use of unused vacation days or sick leave days.
3.     Competitive Activities.
During the term of Executive’s employment, and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive shall not, for Executive or any third party, directly or indirectly employ, solicit for employment or recommend for employment any person employed by Bank or any Related Company. During the term of Executive’s employment, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly as an employee, contractor, officer, director, member, partner, agent, or equity owner, engage in any activity or business that competes or could reasonably be expected to compete with the business of Bank or any Related Company. Executive acknowledges that there is a substantial likelihood that the activities described in this Section would (a) involve the unauthorized use or disclosure of Bank’s or a Related Company’s Confidential Information and that use or disclosure would be extremely difficult to detect, and (b) result in substantial competitive harm to the business of Bank or a Related Company. Executive has accepted the limitations of this Section as a reasonably practicable and unrestrictive means of preventing such use or disclosure of Confidential Information and preventing such competitive harm.
4.     Intellectual Property and Confidential Information.
Executive acknowledges the execution and delivery to Bank of the Confidentiality and Security Agreement (the “Confidentiality and Security Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5.     Termination of Employment.
Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s employment has no specific term. This Agreement, and the employment relationship, are “at will” and may be terminated by Executive or by Bank (and the employment of Executive by any Related Company) with or without cause at any time by notice given orally or in writing. Except as otherwise agreed in writing or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon termination of Executive’s employment, Bank and the Related Companies shall have no further obligation to Executive, by way of compensation or otherwise, as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any separate employment agreement that might then exist between Executive and a Related Company.
(a)     Payments Due Upon Termination of Employment. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with Bank at any time and for any reason, in the event of the termination of Executive’s employment by Bank for Cause, or termination of Executive’s employment as a result of death, Disability, or resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive only the severance benefits set forth below, and Executive will not be entitled to any other compensation, award, or damages with respect to Executive’s employment or termination of employment.

3



(i)     Termination for Cause, Death, Disability, or Resignation. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment by Bank for Cause, or termination of Executive’s employment as a result of death, Disability, or resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive payment for all accrued but unpaid salary actually earned prior to or as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment, and vacation or paid time off accrued as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment. Executive will not be entitled to any cash severance benefits or additional vesting of any stock options or other equity or cash awards.
(ii)     Termination Without Cause. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment by Bank without Cause, Executive will be entitled to:
(A) the benefits set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section;
(B) twelve (12) months of base salary, which may be paid in a lump sum or, at the election of Bank, in installments consistent with the payment of Executive’s salary while employed by Bank, subject to such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law;
(C) payment in full of the prorated target Bonus due for the year in which Executive was terminated without Cause and any Bonus due for the previous completed performance period (if not previously paid), subject to such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law; and
(D) twelve (12) months of any health insurance benefits that Executive was receiving at the time of termination of Executive’s employment under a Bank employee health insurance plan subject to COBRA.
This paragraph (a)(ii), shall not apply to termination of Executive’s employment by a Related Company if Executive remains employed by Bank, or termination of Executive’s employment by Bank if Executive remains employed by a Related Company as long as there is no material diminution in Executive’s duties and responsibilities or base salary and other incentive opportunities.
(iii)     Change of Control. If Bank (or any successor in interest to Bank that has assumed Bank’s obligation under this Agreement) terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, Executive will be entitled to the benefits set forth in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section. After the twelve (12) months period contemplated in this paragraph (a)(iii), the benefits of this paragraph (a)(iii) expire and the terms provided for in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Section will apply.
This paragraph (a)(iii) shall not apply to termination of Executive’s employment by a Related Company if Executive remains employed by Bank or a successor in interest, or termination of Executive’s employment by Bank or a successor in interest if Executive remains employed by a Related Company.
(b)     Release. Bank’s obligation to make such payments under paragraphs (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) of this Section and provide any other such benefits contemplated herein shall be contingent upon:
(i)     Executive’s execution of a release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Bank (the “Release”), which Release must be signed and any applicable revocation period with respect thereto must have expired by the 30th day following Executive’s termination of

4



employment. The Release will not waive any of Executive’s rights, or obligations of Bank or its successor in interest and the Related Companies, regarding: (1) any right to indemnification and/or contribution, advancement or payment of related expenses Executive may have pursuant to Bank’s Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, under any written indemnification or other agreement between the parties, and/or under applicable law; (2) any rights that Executive may have to insurance coverage under any directors and officers liability insurance, other insurance policies of the Bank, COBRA or any similar state law; (3) any claims for worker’s compensation, state disability or unemployment insurance benefits, or any other claims that cannot be released as a matter of applicable law; (4) rights to any vested benefits under any stock, compensation or other employee benefit plan of the Bank; (5) any rights Executive may have as an existing shareholder of the Bank; and (6) any claims arising after the effective date of the Release. Nothing in the Release or any other agreement between Executive and Bank will prohibit or prevent Executive from providing truthful testimony or otherwise responding accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information or documents when required by legal process, subpoena, notice, court order or law (including, without limitation, in any criminal, civil, or regulatory proceeding or investigation), or as necessary in any action for enforcement or claimed breach of this Agreement or any other legal dispute with the Bank. If the Release has been signed and any applicable revocation period has expired prior to the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment, then the severance payments above may be made on such earlier date; provided, however, that if the 30th day following Executive’s termination of employment occurs in the calendar year following the year of Executive’s termination date, then the payments shall not be made earlier than January 1 of such subsequent calendar year; and
(ii)     Executive’s tendering a written resignation as a director, if serving as a director of Bank or any Related Company, as provided in Section 7.
(c)     Section 280G of the Code.
(i)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment, distribution, or other benefit provided by the Bank to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”), (x) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (y) but for this Section 5(c) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision thereto (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be either:
(A)     delivered in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(B)     delivered to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of the payment being subject to the Excise Tax, as determined in accordance with Section 5(b).
(ii)     The determination of whether Section 5(c)(i)(A) or Section 5(c)(i)(B) shall be given effect shall be made by the Bank on the basis of which of such clauses results in the receipt by Executive of the greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined herein) of the aggregate Payments. The term “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code) of the payments net of all applicable federal, state and local income, employment, and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax.

5



(iii)    If Section 5(c)(i)(B) is given effect, the reduction shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following: first by reducing, on a pro rata basis, cash Payments that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code; second by reducing, on a pro rata basis, other cash Payments; and third by forfeiting any equity-based awards that vest and become payable, starting with the most recent equity-based awards that vest, to the extent necessary to accomplish such reduction.
(iv)     Unless the Bank and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5(c) shall be made by the Bank’s independent accountants or compensation consultants (the “Third Party”), and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto. The Bank and Executive shall furnish to the Third Party such information and documents as the Third Party may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 5(c).

Exhibit A
Confidential and Security Agreement

11


A103_IMAGE1A02.JPG
Confidentiality and Security Agreement



Silvergate Bank (the “Bank”) regards the security and confidentiality of data and information to be of utmost importance. Further, it is the intent of this Agreement to ensure that confidential information, in any format, is not divulged outside of the Bank without explicit approval to do so by the Board of Directors, senior management, or the Chief Information Security Officer of the Bank. The Bank requires all users of data and information to follow the procedures outlined herein.

Policy of Confidentiality of Data
Each individual granted access to data (customer and proprietary corporate data) and hardcopy information holds a position of trust and must preserve the security and confidentiality of the information he/she uses. Users of Bank data and information are required to abide by all applicable federal and State guidelines, regulations and laws, and Bank policies regarding the confidentiality of data, including but not limited to the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act (GLBA), Regulation P, California SB-1, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All users of Bank data and information must read and understand how the Bank policies regarding the privacy and security of customer and Bank data apply to their respective job functions. All users with access to our core Bank system or other Bank computer systems acknowledge that they have read and agree to abide by the Bank’s Acceptable Use Policy.
Any individual with authorized access to the Bank’s computer information system, records, or files, is given access to use the Bank’s data or files solely for the business of the Bank and must not divulge this information outside of the Bank or to other Bank employees/interns unless a valid business purpose exists.
Specifically, with respect to Bank records or information, individuals must:
Access data solely in order to perform his/her job responsibilities;
Not seek personal benefit or permit others to benefit personally from any data that has come to them through their work assignments;
Not make or permit unauthorized use of any information in the Bank’s information systems or records;
Not enter, change, delete, or add data to any information system or files outside the scope of their job responsibilities, that is in conflict with a Bank policy, or has malicious, fraudulent, or negligent intent;
Not include or cause to be included in any record or report a false, inaccurate, or misleading entry known to the user as such;
Not alter or delete or cause to be altered or deleted from any records, report or information system, a true and correct entry;
Not release Bank data other than what is required for the completion of job responsibilities;
Not exhibit or divulge the contents of any record, file, or information system to any person unless it is necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities.


1



It is the individual’s responsibility to report immediately to his/her supervisor and/or to the Bank’s Chief Information Security Officer any violation of this Agreement or any other action that violates customer confidentiality or the confidentiality of Bank data.

Security Measures and Procedures
All users of Bank information systems are supplied with an individual user account to access the data necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities. Users of the Bank’s information systems are required to follow the procedures below:
All transactions processed by a user ID and password are the responsibility of the person to whom the user ID was assigned. The user ID and password must remain confidential and must not be shared with anyone.
§
Using someone else’s password is a violation of policy, no matter how it was obtained.
§
To reduce the risk of passwords being shared, passwords are not to be posted on or near workstations.
§
It is each individual’s responsibility to change their password immediately if there is a belief that someone else has or could have obtained it.
§
Passwords must be changed periodically and/or if there is reason to believe they have been compromised or revealed inadvertently.
Access to any customer or employee/intern information (in any format) is to be determined based on specific job requirements. Users are prohibited from viewing or accessing additional information (in any format) unless authorized to do so. Any access obtained without authorization is considered unauthorized access. Users may not divulge customer or employee/intern information to any third party without specific approval from senior management or the Chief Information Security Officer.
To prevent unauthorized access, users must log off of all applications that are sensitive in nature, such as customer/employee/intern personal information, when leaving their workstation. Users agree to log off or secure their workstations during any period of absence.
Temporary employees and interns should not have access to Bank systems, by default. Written approval from senior management and the Chief Information Officer is required if it is determined that access is required.
Users agree to properly secure and dispose of any outputs or files created or used in the course of their job functions in a manner that fully protects the confidentiality of the records.
Customer and employee/intern data must be secured during any absence from a user’s workstation.

By my signature below, I agree to and understand the contents of this Confidentiality and Security Agreement. I understand that, if granted access to process transactions via our core Bank System or other Bank information systems, any information I enter or change is effective immediately. Accordingly, I understand I am responsible for any entries made using my user ID. I agree not to share or divulge my user ID or PIN/password to any other individuals.


2



I understand that my access to Bank data and information systems is for the sole purpose of carrying out my job responsibilities, and confidential information is not to be divulged outside of the Bank, except as stated herein. Breach of confidentiality, including aiding, abetting, or acting in conspiracy with any other person to violate any part of this Agreement, or any laws and regulations including, but not limited to, GLBA, California SB-1, HIPAA, and Regulation P, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
