### What could break it

US import tariffs could raise product costs.

- Source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1068851/000119312526077437/pb-20251231.htm (filed 2026-02-26); ontinuing inflationary pressures in 2026 could lead to increased costs to the Company’s customers, making it more difficult for them to repay their loans or other obligations, which would increase the Company’s credit risk.

Despite recent interest rate cuts, any future need to increase rates to address persistent or renewed inflationary pressures could increase borrowing costs for customers, potentially leading to reduced loan demand, increased credit risk, and weakened asset values in the Company’s lending portfolio. Changes in trade policies by the United States or other countries, such as tariffs or retaliatory tariffs, could further adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability, and may cause inflation which could impact the prices of products sold by the Company’s borrowers and have the potential to reduce demand for their products impacting their profitability and making it difficult for borrowers to repay their loans. The Company’s general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment, hostile third-party action or unpredictable and unstable market conditions. Further, evolving responses from federal and state governments and other regulators, and the Company’s customers or vendors, to new challenges such as climate change have impacted and could continue to impact the economic and political conditions under which the Company operates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s risk management practices, such as monitoring the concentration of the Company’s loans within specific industries and the Company’s credit approval, review and administrative practices, may not adequately reduce credit risk, and the Company’s credit administration personnel, policies and procedures may not adequately adapt to changes in economic or any other conditions affecting customers and the quality of the loan portfolio. Many of the Company’s loans are made to businesses that are less able to withstand competitive, economic and financial pressures than larger borrowers. Consequently, the Company may have significant exposure if any of these borrowers becomes unable to pay their loan obligations as a result of economic or market conditions, or personal circumstances, such as divorce or death. A failure to effectively measure and limit the credit risk associated with the Company’s loan portfolio may result in loan defaults, foreclosures and additional charge-offs, and may require the Company to significantly increase its allowance for credit losses, each of which could adversely affect the Company’s net income. As a result, the Company’s inability to successfully manage credit risk cou
