Why are charge-off and delinquency metrics important for investors?

Charge-off and delinquency metrics are key indicators of a financial institution's credit quality and risk management. Rising charge-offs can signal increased loan defaults and potential future losses, while increasing delinquencies can be an early warning sign of deteriorating borrower financial health. Stable or declining metrics are generally positive signs.

No, the information provided in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any other filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
