The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements (unaudited). Page-6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1: Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bank of Marin Bancorp (“Bancorp”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Bank of Marin (the “Bank”), a California state-chartered commercial bank. References to “we,” “our,” “us” mean Bancorp and the Bank that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate and the information presented is not misleading, we suggest that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, the results of operations, changes in comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of these interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full year or for any other period. The NorCal Community Bancorp Trust II (the "Trust") was formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Bancorp is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trust (a variable interest entity), therefore the Trust is not consolidated in our consolidated financial statements, but rather the subordinated debenture is shown as a liability on our consolidated statements of condition. Bancorp's investment in the securities of the Trust is accounted for under the equity method and is included in interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. Refer to Note 6, Borrowings, for additional information on the subordinated debenture due to NorCal Community Bancorp Trust II and the early redemption that occurred on March 15, 2021. The following table shows: 1) weighted average basic shares, 2) potentially dilutive weighted average common shares related to stock options and unvested restricted stock awards, and 3) weighted average diluted shares. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS are calculated using the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common shares. The number of potentially dilutive common shares included in the quarterly diluted EPS is computed using the average market prices during the three months included in the reporting period under the treasury stock method. The number of potentially dilutive common shares included in year-to-date diluted EPS is a year-to-date weighted average of potentially dilutive common shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. In computing diluted EPS, we exclude anti-dilutive shares such as options whose exercise prices exceed the current common stock price, as they would not reduce EPS under the treasury method. We have two forms of outstanding common stock: common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Holders of unvested restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, the difference in EPS is nominal for these participating securities. Three months ended (in thousands, except per share data) March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Weighted average basic common shares outstanding 13,363 13,525 Potentially dilutive common shares related to: Stock options 81 106 Unvested restricted stock awards 25 25 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 13,469 13,656 Net income $ 8,947 $ 7,228 Basic EPS $ 0.67 $ 0.53 Diluted EPS $ 0.66 $ 0.53 Weighted average anti-dilutive common shares not included in the calculation of diluted EPS 80 70 Page-7 Note 2: Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This ASU is intended to reduce the cost and complexity related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and simplifying aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates. We adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (ASC Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASC Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between ASC 321, ASC 323, and ASC 815 . Among other things, this ASU clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under ASC 323, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321. We adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs . This ASU was issued as part of the Board's ongoing project to improve codification or correct unintended application. This ASU adds clarification to ASU 2017-08, which the Bank early-adopted in 2017, and delineates whether an entity with callable debt securities that have multiple call dates should amortize the amount above that which is repayable, to the next call date. We adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2021. Because this ASU was narrow in scope and for clarification purposes, it did not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) . The amendments in this ASU are elective and provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for, or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU may be elected as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may choose to elect the amendments in this update at an interim period subsequent to March 12, 2020 with adoption methods varying based on transaction type. We have not elected to apply amendments at this time, however, will assess the applicability of this ASU to us as we continue to monitor guidance for reference rate reform from FASB and its impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The main amendments in this ASU are intended to clarify certain optional expedients and scope of derivative instruments. The amendments are elective and effective immediately upon issuance of this ASU. Amendments may be elected through December 31, 2022. We have not elected to apply amendments at this time, however, will assess the applicability of this ASU to us as we continue to monitor guidance for reference rate reform from FASB and its impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Note 3: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Fair Value Hierarchy and Fair Value Measurement We group our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in three levels within the fair value hierarchy, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are: Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Page-8 Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Values are determined using pricing models and discounted cash flow models and may include significant management judgment and estimation. The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities that were required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. (in thousands) Description of Financial Instruments Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Measurement Categories: Changes in Fair Value Recorded In 1 March 31, 2021 Securities available-for-sale: Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies $ 287,323 $ — $ 287,323 $ — OCI SBA-backed securities 29,218 — 29,218 — OCI Debentures of government sponsored agencies 74,473 — 74,473 — OCI Obligations of state and political subdivisions 121,765 — 121,765 — OCI Corporate bonds 5,789 — 5,789 — OCI Derivative financial liabilities (interest rate contracts) 1,193 — 1,193 — NI December 31, 2020 Securities available-for-sale: Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies $ 228,651 $ — $ 228,651 $ — OCI SBA-backed securities 32,862 — 36,286 — OCI Debentures of government sponsored agencies 20,186 — 20,186 — OCI Obligations of state and political subdivisions 110,652 — 110,652 — OCI Derivative financial liabilities (interest rate contracts) 1,912 — 1,912 — NI 1 Other comprehensive income ("OCI") or net income ("NI"). Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, quoted market prices (Level 1) are used to determine the fair value of available-for-sale securities. If quoted market prices are not available, we obtain pricing information from a reputable third-party service provider, who may utilize valuation techniques that use current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as bid/ask prices, dealer-quoted prices, interest rates, benchmark yield curves, prepayment speeds, probability of default, loss severity and credit spreads (Level 2). Level 2 securities include obligations of state and political subdivisions, U.S. agencies or government-sponsored agencies' debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, government agency-issued, privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no Level 1 or Level 3 securities. Held-to-maturity securities may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment through a provision for credit losses in investments securities. We did no t record any write-downs during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020. Fair value of held-to-maturity securities is determined using the same techniques discussed above for available-for-sale securities. On a recurring basis, derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value, which is based on the income approach using observable Level 2 market inputs, reflecting market expectations of future interest rates as of the measurement date. Standard valuation techniques are used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash flows assuming an orderly transaction. Valuation adjustments may be made to reflect both our own credit risk and the counterparties’ credit risk in determining the fair value of the derivatives. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to observable market prices for London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and Overnight Index Swap Page-9 ("OIS") rates (for the very short term), quoted prices for LIBOR futures contracts, observable market prices for LIBOR and OIS swap rates, and one-month and three-month LIBOR basis spreads at commonly quoted intervals. Mid-market pricing of the inputs is used as a practical expedient in the fair value measurements. We project spot rates at reset days specified by each swap contract to determine future cash flows, then discount to present value using OIS curves as of the measurement date. When the value of any collateral placed with counterparties is less than the interest rate derivative liability, a credit valuation adjustment ("CVA") is applied to reflect the credit risk we pose to counterparties. We have used the spread between the Standard & Poor's BBB rated U.S. Bank Composite rate and LIBOR for the closest maturity term corresponding to the duration of the swaps to derive the CVA. A similar credit risk adjustment, correlated to the credit standing of the counterparty, is made when collateral posted by the counterparty does not fully cover their liability to us. For further discussion on our methodology in valuing our derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as impaired loans that are collateral dependent and other real estate owned ("OREO"). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did no t carry any assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments The table below is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, excluding financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (summarized in the first table in this note). The carrying amounts in the following table are recorded in the consolidated statements of condition under the indicated captions. Further, we have not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments specifically excluded from disclosure requirements such as bank-owned life insurance policies ("BOLI") and non-maturity deposit liabilities. Additionally, we held shares of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of San Francisco stock and Visa Inc. Class B common stock, both recorded at cost, as there was no impairment or changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The values are discussed in Note 4, Investment Securities. March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (in thousands) Carrying Amounts Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy Carrying Amounts Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy Financial assets (recorded at amortized cost) Cash and cash equivalents $ 142,819 $ 142,819 Level 1 $ 200,320 $ 200,320 Level 1 Investment securities held-to-maturity 151,970 156,756 Level 2 109,036 115,185 Level 2 Loans, net 2,101,814 2,114,691 Level 3 2,065,682 2,089,192 Level 3 Interest receivable 10,589 10,589 Level 2 10,922 10,922 Level 2 Financial liabilities (recorded at amortized cost) Time deposits 94,955 95,241 Level 2 97,433 97,769 Level 2 Subordinated debenture — — Level 3 2,777 3,115 Level 3 Interest payable 59 59 Level 2 97 97 Level 2 Fair value of loans is based on exit price techniques and obtained from an independent third-party that uses its proprietary valuation model and methodology and may not reflect actual or prospective market valuations. The discounted cash flow valuation approach reflects key inputs and assumptions such as loan probability of default, loss given default, prepayment speed, and market discount rates. Fair value of fixed-rate time deposits is estimated by discounting future contractual cash flows using discount rates that reflect the current market rates offered for time deposits of similar remaining maturities. Fair value of the subordinated debenture is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach based on current interest rates for similar financial instruments adjusted for credit and liquidity spreads. The value of unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the fee income associated with the commitments which, in the absence of credit exposure, is considered to approximate their settlement value. The fair value of commitment fees was not material as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Page-10 Note 4: Investment Securities Our investment securities portfolio consists of obligations of state and political subdivisions, U.S. Corporations, U.S. federal government agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and Small Business Administration ("SBA"), U.S. government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), such as Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation and FHLB. We also invest in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”/"CMBS") and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued or guaranteed by the GSEs, as reflected in the following table. A summary of the amortized cost, fair value and allowance for credit losses related to securities held-to-maturity as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is presented below.

Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. With regard to MBSs and CMOs issued or guaranteed by the GSEs, and SBA-backed securities, we expect to receive all the contractual principal and interest on these securities as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of and/or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities. With regard to securities issued by states and political subdivisions, management considers (i) issuer and/or guarantor credit ratings, (ii) historical probability of default and loss given default rates for given bond ratings and remaining maturity,(iii) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities, (iv) internal credit review of the financial information, and (v) whether or not such securities have credit enhancements such as guarantees, contain a defeasance clause, or are pre-refunded by the issuers. Based on the comprehensive analysis, no credit losses are expected.

Page-13 Securities issued by government-sponsored agencies, such as FNMA and FHLMC, usually have implicit credit support by the U.S. federal government. However, since 2008, FNMA and FHLMC have been under government conservatorship and, therefore, contractual cash flows for these investments carry explicit guarantees by the U.S. federal government. Securities issued by the SBA and GNMA have explicit credit guarantees by the U.S. federal government, which protects us from credit losses on the contractual cash flows of the securities. Our investment in obligations of state and political subdivisions bonds are deemed credit worthy after our comprehensive analysis of the issuers' latest financial information, credit ratings by major credit agencies, and/or credit enhancements. At March 31, 2021, management determined that it did not intend to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell securities with unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost. Therefore, no allowances for credit losses has been recognized on available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality at March 31, 2021. Non-Marketable Securities Included in Other Assets FHLB Capital Stock As a member of the FHLB, we are required to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB capital stock determined by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. The minimum investment requirements can increase in the event we increase our total asset size or borrowings with the FHLB. Shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLB and its members at the $ 100 per share par value. We held $ 11.9 million of FHLB stock included in other assets on the consolidated statements of condition at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The carrying amounts of these investments are reasonable estimates of fair value because the securities are restricted to member banks and they do not have a readily determinable market value. Based on our analysis of FHLB's financial condition and certain qualitative factors, we determined that the FHLB stock was not impaired at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. On April 29, 2021, FHLB announced a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2021 at an annualized dividend rate of 6.00 % to be distributed in mid-May 2021. Cash dividends paid on FHLB capital stock are recorded as non-interest income. VISA Inc. Class B Common Stock As a member bank of Visa U.S.A., we held 10,439 shares of Visa Inc. Class B common stock at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. These shares have a carrying value of zero and are restricted from resale to non-member banks of Visa U.S.A. until their conversion into Class A (voting) shares upon the termination of Visa Inc.'s Covered Litigation escrow account. Because of the restriction and the uncertainty on the conversion rate to Class A shares, these shares lack a readily determinable fair value. When converting this Class B common stock to Class A common stock based on the estimated conversion rate of 1.6228 both at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the closing stock price of Class A shares at those respective dates, the converted value of our shares of Class B common stock would have been $ 3.6 million and $ 3.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The conversion rate is subject to further adjustment upon the final settlement of the covered litigation against Visa Inc. and its member banks. As such, the fair value of these Class B shares can differ significantly from their converted values. For further information, refer to Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. Low Income Housing Tax Credits We invest in low-income housing tax credit funds as a limited partner, which totaled $ 3.4 million and $ 3.5 million recorded in other assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized $ 160 thousand of low-income housing tax credits and other tax benefits, offset by $ 135 thousand of amortization expense of low-income housing tax credit investment, as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2021, our unfunded commitments for these low-income housing tax credit funds totaled $ 508 thousand. We did no t recognize any impairment losses on these low-income housing tax credit investments during the first three months of 2021 or 2020, as the value of the future tax benefits exceeds the carrying value of the investments. Page-14 Note 5: Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses Under the accounting relief provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act passed in March 2020, we postponed the adoption of the CECL standard form January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Upon adoption we used a modified retrospective method effective October 1, 2020 (the beginning of the first reporting period in which the standard was effective due to the postponement of CECL) through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was recorded, net of taxes, based on economic forecasts and other assumptions as of December 31, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after September 30, 2020 have been presented under the new standard while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Certain prior period credit quality disclosures related to impaired loans and individually and collectively evaluated loans were superseded with the CECL accounting standards and have not been included below. Refer to Notes 1 and 3 under Part II, Item 8, of our 2020 Form 10-K for for additional information regarding the adoption of CECL. In addition, refer to Note 5 under Part I, Item 1, of our March 31, 2020 Form 10-Q for prior period information. The following table presents the amortized cost of loans by class as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. (in thousands) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Commercial and industrial $ 545,069 $ 498,408 Real estate: Commercial owner-occupied 308,266 304,963 Commercial investor-owned 955,021 961,208 Construction 71,066 73,046 Home equity 96,575 104,813 Other residential 124,383 123,395 Installment and other consumer loans 21,392 22,723 Total loans, at amortized cost 1 2,121,772 2,088,556 Allowance for credit losses on loans ( 19,958 ) ( 22,874 ) Total loans, net $ 2,101,814 $ 2,065,682 1 Amortized cost includes net deferred loan origination fees of $( 6.7 ) million and $( 4.9 ) million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Amounts are also net of unrecognized purchase discounts of $ 782 thousand and $ 815 thousand at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Amortized cost excludes accrued interest, which totaled $ 8.5 million and $ 8.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in interest receivable and other assets in the consolidated statements of condition. Lending Risks Commercial and Industrial Loans - Commercial loans are generally made to established small and mid-sized businesses to provide financing for their growth and working capital needs, equipment purchases and acquisitions. Management examines historical, current, and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral and guarantor support. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not occur as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed, such as accounts receivable and inventory, and typically include personal guarantees. We target stable businesses with guarantors who provide additional sources of repayment and have proven to be resilient in periods of economic stress. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer and/or business spending, may have an effect on the credit quality of commercial loans. In April 2020, the Bank began participating in the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). As of March 31, 2021, there were 2,513 PPP loans outstanding. PPP loans totaling $ 365.0 million (net of $ 8.0 million in unrecognized fees and costs) and $ 291.6 million (net of $ 5.4 million in unrecognized fees and costs) as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were included in commercial and industrial loan balances. Of the PPP loans outstanding as of March 31, 2021, 841 loans totaling $ 119.5 million funded during the first quarter of 2021 under the second round of the PPP stimulus plan. PPP loans have terms of two to five years and earn interest at 1%. In addition, the SBA paid the Bank a fee of 1%-5% depending on the loan amount, which was netted with loan origination costs and accreted/amortized into interest income using the effective yield method over the contractual life of each loan. The recognition of fees and costs is accelerated when the SBA forgives the loan and/or the loan is paid off prior to maturity. PPP loans are fully Page-15 guaranteed by the SBA and have virtually no risk of loss. We expect the vast majority of the PPP loans to be fully forgiven by the SBA. Commercial Real Estate Loans - Commercial real estate loans, which include income producing investment properties and owner-occupied real estate used for business purposes, are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans discussed above. We underwrite these loans to be repaid from cash flow and to be supported by real property collateral. Underwriting standards for commercial real estate loans include, but are not limited to, debt coverage and loan-to-value ratios. Furthermore, a large majority of our loans are guaranteed by the owners of the properties. Conditions in the real estate markets or downturn in the general economy may adversely affect our commercial real estate loans. In the event of a vacancy, we expect guarantors to carry the loans until they find a replacement tenant. The owner's substantial equity investment provides a strong economic incentive to continue to support the commercial real estate projects. As such, we have generally experienced a relatively low level of loss and delinquencies in this portfolio. Construction Loans - Construction loans are generally made to developers and builders to finance construction, renovation and occasionally land acquisitions in anticipation of near-term development. Construction loans include interest reserves that are used for the payment of interest during the development and marketing periods and are capitalized as part of the loan balance. When a construction loan is placed on nonaccrual status before the depletion of the interest reserve, we apply the interest funded by the interest reserve against the loan's principal balance. These loans are underwritten after evaluation of the borrower's financial strength, reputation, prior track record, and independent appraisals. We monitor all construction projects to determine whether they are on schedule, completed as planned and in accordance with the approved construction budgets. Significant events can affect the construction industry, including: the inherent volatility of real estate markets and vulnerability to delays due to weather, change orders, inability to obtain construction permits, labor or material shortages, and price changes. Estimates of construction costs and value associated with the completed project may be inaccurate. Repayment of construction loans is largely dependent on the ultimate success of the project. Consumer Loans - Consumer loans primarily consist of home equity lines of credit, other residential loans and floating homes along with a small number of installment loans. Our other residential loans include tenancy-in-common fractional interest loans ("TIC") located almost entirely in San Francisco County. We originate consumer loans utilizing credit score information, debt-to-income ratio and loan-to-value ratio analysis. Diversification among consumer loan types, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, mitigates risk. We do not originate sub-prime residential mortgage loans, nor is it our practice to underwrite loans commonly referred to as "Alt-A mortgages," the characteristics of which are reduced documentation, borrowers with low FICO scores or collateral with high loan-to-value ratios. Credit Quality Indicators We use a risk rating system to evaluate asset quality, and to identify and monitor credit risk in individual loans, and in the loan portfolio. Our definitions of “Special Mention” risk graded loans, or worse, are consistent with those used by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Our internally assigned grades are as follows: Pass and Watch - Loans to borrowers of acceptable or better credit quality. Borrowers in this category demonstrate fundamentally sound financial positions, repayment capacity, credit history and management expertise. Loans in this category must have an identifiable and stable source of repayment and meet the Bank’s policy regarding debt-service-coverage ratios. These borrowers are capable of sustaining normal economic, market or operational setbacks without significant financial consequences. Negative external industry factors are generally not present. The loan may be secured, unsecured or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine and/or marketability is more uncertain. This category also includes “Watch” loans, where the primary source of repayment has been delayed. “Watch” is intended to be a transitional grade, with either an upgrade or downgrade within a reasonable period. Special Mention - Potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the payment prospects for the asset. Special Mention assets do not present sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Substandard - Inadequately protected by either the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. A Substandard asset has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize(s) the liquidation of the debt. Substandard assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some Page-16 loss if such weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected. Well-defined weaknesses include adverse trends or developments of the borrower’s financial condition, managerial weaknesses and/or significant collateral deficiencies. Doubtful - Critical weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full improbable. There may be specific pending events that work to strengthen the asset; however, the amount or timing of the loss may not be determinable. Pending events generally occur within one year of the asset being classified as Doubtful. Examples include: merger, acquisition, or liquidation; capital injection; guarantee; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing. Such loans are placed on non-accrual status and usually are collateral-dependent. We regularly review our credits for accuracy of risk grades whenever we receive new information. Borrowers are generally required to submit financial information at regular intervals. Typically, commercial borrowers with lines of credit are required to submit financial information with reporting intervals ranging from monthly to annually depending on credit size, risk and complexity. In addition, investor commercial real estate borrowers with loans exceeding a certain dollar threshold are usually required to submit rent rolls or property income statements annually. We monitor construction loans monthly. We review home equity and other consumer loans based on delinquency. We also review loans graded “Watch” or worse, regardless of loan type, no less than quarterly. The following tables present the loan portfolio by loan class, origination year and internal risk rating as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Generally, existing term loans that were re-underwritten are reflected in the table in the year of renewal. Lines of credit that have a conversion feature at the time of origination, such as construction to perm loans, are presented by year of origination.

We recognized no interest income on non-accrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. There were no new loans placed on non accrual status during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Accrued interest of $ 13 thousand was reversed from interest income for loans that were placed on non-accrual status during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Collateral Dependent Loans The following table presents the amortized cost basis of individually analyzed collateral-dependent non-accrual loans by class at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

In addition, the weighted average loan-to-value of collateral dependent loans was approximately 59.2 % at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Troubled Debt Restructuring Our loan portfolio includes certain loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), where we have granted economic concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. TDRs on non-accrual status at the time of restructure may be returned to Page-19 accruing status after management considers the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally nine months, and obtains reasonable assurance of repayment and performance. We may remove a loan from TDR designation if it meets all of the following conditions: • The loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at current market interest rates and the new terms are consistent with the treatment of creditworthy borrowers under regular underwriting standards; • The borrower is no longer considered to be in financial difficulty; • Performance on the loan is reasonably assured; and • Existing loan did not have any forgiveness of principal or interest. There were no loans removed from TDR designation during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. In accordance with section 4013 of the CARES Act, subsequently amended by section 541 of the Economic Aid Act, we elected to apply the temporary accounting relief provisions for loan modifications that met certain criteria, which would otherwise be designated TDRs under existing GAAP. As of March 31, 2021, 13 borrowing relationships with 20 loans totaling $ 65.4 million were continuing to benefit from payment relief. Subsequent to quarter end and prior to the filing of this report, two relationships with three loans totaling $ 6.2 million transitioned out of the payment relief program and began making normal contractual payments. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio of the remaining payment relief loans was 40 %. We accrue and recognize interest income on loans under payment relief based on the original contractual interest rates. When payments resume at the end of the relief period, the payments will generally be applied to accrued interest due until accrued interest is fully paid. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of TDR loans by loan class as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

During the first three months of 2020, we applied the incurred loss method under previous GAAP in determining the allowance for credit losses on loans. Pledged Loans Our FHLB line of credit is secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of certain qualifying loans with unpaid principal balances of $ 1.103 billion and $ 1.165 billion at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, we pledge eligible TIC loans, which totaled $ 112.4 million and $ 113.6 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, to secure our borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"). Also, see Note 6, Borrowings. Related Party Loans The Bank has, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of its business with directors, officers, principal shareholders and their businesses or associates. These loans are granted on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral on loans, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with persons not related to us. Likewise, these transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Related party loans totaled $ 5.9 million at March 31, 2021 and $ 6.4 million at December 31, 2020. In addition, undisbursed commitments to related parties totaled $ 9.1 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Note 6: Borrowings and Other Obligations Federal Funds Purchased – The Bank had unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks for overnight borrowings totaling $ 135.0 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In general, interest rates on these lines approximate the federal funds target rate. We had no overnight borrowings under these credit facilities at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020 . Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings – As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had lines of credit with the FHLB totaling $ 634.2 million and $ 642.5 million, respectively, based on eligible collateral of certain loans. There were no FHLB overnight borrowings at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Federal Reserve Line of Credit – The Bank has a line of credit with the FRBSF secured by certain residential loans. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had borrowing capacity under this line totaling $ 77.5 million and $ 78.7 million, respectively, and had no outstanding borrowings with the FRBSF. Page-21 Subordinated Debenture – As part of an acquisition in 2013, Bancorp assumed a subordinated debenture with a contractual balance of $ 4.1 million due to NorCal Community Bancorp Trust II (the "Trust"), established for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On March 15, 2021, Bancorp redeemed in full the $ 2.8 million (book value) subordinated debenture due to the Trust, which had an effective interest rate of 5.7 % in 2020. The higher effective rate in the first quarter of 2021 included accelerated accretion of the $ 1.3 million remaining purchase discount due to the early redemption. Accretion was $ 17 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Other Obligations – The Bank leases certain equipment under finance leases, which are included in borrowings and other obligations in the consolidated statements of condition. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information. Note 7: Stockholders' Equity Dividends On April 16, 2021, Bancorp declared a $ 0.23 per share cash dividend, payable on May 7, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 30, 2021. Share-Based Payments The fair value of stock options as of the grant date is recorded as stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in common stock. Stock-based compensation also includes compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted stock awards. The grant-date fair value of the restricted stock awards, which equals the grant date price, is recorded as compensation expense over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase in common stock as the shares vest. Beginning in 2018, stock option and restricted stock awards issued include a retirement eligibility clause whereby the requisite service period is satisfied at the retirement eligibility date. For those awards, we accelerate the recording of stock-based compensation when the award holder is eligible to retire. However, retirement eligibility does not affect the vesting of restricted stock or the exercisability of the stock options, which are based on the scheduled vesting period. Performance-based stock awards (restricted stock) are issued to a selected group of employees. Stock award vesting is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established long-term performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Performance is measured over a three-year period and cliff vested. These performance-based stock awards were granted at a maximum opportunity level, and based on the achievement of the pre-established goals, the actual payouts can range from 0 % to 200 % of the target award. For performance-based stock awards, an estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. The estimate is re-evaluated quarterly and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period. We record excess tax benefits (deficiencies) resulting from the exercise of non-qualified stock options, the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards as income tax benefits (expense) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income with a corresponding decrease (increase) to current taxes payable. The holders of unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to dividends on the same per-share ratio as holders of common stock. Tax benefits for dividends paid on unvested restricted stock awards are recorded as tax benefits in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income with a corresponding decrease to current taxes payable. Dividends on forfeited awards are included in stock-based compensation expense. Stock options and restricted stock may be net settled in a cashless exercise by a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise or vesting in satisfaction of the exercise payment and/or applicable tax withholding requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we withheld 27,547 shares totaling $ 1.1 million at a weighted-average price of $ 38.87 for cashless exercises. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we withheld 8,409 shares totaling $ 346 thousand at a weighted-average price of $ 41.17 for cashless exercises. Shares withheld under net settlement arrangements are available for future grants. Page-22 Share Repurchase Program On April 23, 2018, Bancorp announced that its Board of Directors approved a Share Repurchase Program under which Bancorp may repurchase up to $ 25.0 million of its outstanding common stock through May 1, 2019. Bancorp's Board of Directors subsequently extended the Share Repurchase Program through February 28, 2020. After expiration of this Share Repurchase Program, our new Share Repurchase Program began on March 1, 2020. The new program was approved on January 24, 2020 by Bancorp Board of Directors, allowing Bancorp to repurchase up to $ 25.0 million of its outstanding common stock through February 28, 2022. The new share repurchase program, which began on March 1, 2020, was suspended by the Board of Directors on March 20, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was reactivated by the Board of Directors on October 23, 2020. Under the Share Repurchase Program, Bancorp may purchase shares of its common stock through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at Bancorp's discretion. Factors include, but are not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with Bancorp’s general business conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate Bancorp to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock. As part of the Share Repurchase Program, Bancorp entered into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 10b5-1 trading plan permits common stock to be repurchased at times that might otherwise be prohibited under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan is administered by an independent broker and is subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Bancorp repurchased 224,013 shares totaling $ 8.5 million for a cumulative 393,594 shares amounting to $ 14.3 million under the $ 25.0 million share repurchase program that was approved by the Board of Directors on January 24, 2020. Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk We make commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because various commitments will expire without being fully drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Our credit loss exposure is equal to the contractual amount of the commitment in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. We use the same credit underwriting criteria for all credit exposure. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral types pledged may include accounts receivable, inventory, other personal property and real property. The contractual amount of unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition are as follows: (in thousands) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Commercial lines of credit $ 309,469 $ 287,533 Revolving home equity lines 199,332 189,035 Undisbursed construction loans 89,605 41,033 Personal and other lines of credit 10,431 9,567 Standby letters of credit 1,917 1,964 Total commitments and standby letters of credit $ 610,754 $ 529,132 Page-23 We record an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments at the balance sheet date based on estimates of the probability that these commitments will be drawn upon according to historical utilization experience of the different types of commitments and expected loss rates determined for pooled funded loans. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $ 2.2 million and $ 2.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which is recorded in interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition. We adopted the CECL accounting standard on December 31, 2020. We applied the incurred loss method under previous GAAP in determining the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. We recorded a $ 590 thousand reversal of the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a $ 102 thousand provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. Leases We lease premises under long-term non-cancelable operating leases with remaining terms of 1 year to 12 years, most of which include escalation clauses and one or more options to extend the lease term, and some of which contain lease termination clauses. Lease terms may include certain renewal options that were considered reasonably certain to be exercised. We lease certain equipment under finance leases with initial terms of 3 years to 5 years. The equipment finance leases do not contain renewal options, bargain purchase options or residual value guarantees.

The following table shows the future minimum lease payments, weighted average remaining lease terms, and weighted average discount rates under operating and finance lease arrangements as of March 31, 2021. The discount rates used to calculate the present value of lease liabilities were based on the collateralized FHLB borrowing rates that were commensurate with lease terms and minimum payments on the later of the date we adopted the new lease accounting standards or lease commencement date.

Bancorp's management is not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which either it or the Bank may be a party or has recently been a party that will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of Bancorp or the Bank. The Bank is responsible for a proportionate share of certain litigation indemnifications provided to Visa U.S.A. ("Visa") by its member banks in connection with Visa's lawsuits related to anti-trust charges and interchange fees ("Covered Litigation"). Our proportionate share of the litigation indemnification liability does not change or transfer upon the sale of our Class B Visa shares to member banks. Visa established an escrow account to pay for settlements or judgments in the Covered Litigation. Under the terms of the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, when Visa funds the litigation escrow account, it triggers a conversion rate reduction of the Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock, effectively reducing the aggregate value of the Class B common stock held by Visa's member banks like us. In 2012, Visa had reached a $ 4.0 billion interchange multidistrict litigation class settlement agreement with plaintiffs representing a class of U.S. retailers. The escrow balance of $ 894 thousand as of March 31, 2021, combined with funds previously deposited with the court, are expected to cover the settlement payment obligations. Page-25 The outcome of the Covered Litigation affects the conversion rate of Visa Class B common stock held by us to Visa Class A common stock, as discussed above and in Note 4, Investment Securities. The final conversion rate is subject to change depending on the final settlement payments, and the full effect on member banks is still uncertain. Litigation is ongoing and until the court approval process is complete, there is no assurance that Visa will resolve the claims as contemplated by the amended class settlement agreement, and additional lawsuits may arise from individual merchants who opted out of the class settlement. However, until the escrow account is fully depleted and the conversion rate of Class B to Class A common stock is reduced to zero, no future cash settlement payments are required by the member banks, such as us, on the Covered Litigation. Therefore, we are not required to record any contingent liabilities for the indemnification related to the Covered Litigation, as we consider the probability of losses to be remote. Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities We entered into interest rate swap agreements, primarily as an asset/liability management strategy, in order to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans (or firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans) caused by changes in interest rates. These hedges allow us to offer long-term fixed-rate loans to customers without assuming the interest rate risk of a long-term asset. Converting our fixed-rate interest payments to floating-rate interest payments, generally benchmarked to the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR index, protects us against changes in the fair value of our loans associated with fluctuating interest rates. Our credit exposure, if any, on interest rate swap asset positions is limited to the fair value (net of any collateral pledged to us) and interest payments of all swaps by each counterparty. Conversely, when an interest rate swap is in a liability position exceeding a certain threshold, we may be required to post collateral to the counterparty in an amount determined by the agreements. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap values. As of March 31, 2021, we had four interest rate swap agreements, which are scheduled to mature in June 2031, October 2031, July 2032, and October 2037. All of our derivatives are accounted for as fair value hedges. The notional amounts of the interest rate contracts are equal to the notional amounts of the hedged loans. Our interest rate swap payments are settled monthly with counterparties. Accrued interest on the swaps totaled $ 11 thousand at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Information on our derivatives follows: Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives (in thousands) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Fair value hedges: Interest rate contracts notional amount $ — $ — $ 13,754 $ 13,991 Interest rate contracts fair value 1 $ — $ — $ 1,193 $ 1,912 1 See Note 3, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, for valuation methodology.

Our derivative transactions with counterparties are under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements that include “right of set-off” provisions. “Right of set-off” provisions are legally enforceable rights to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. We do not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

Note 10: Merger Agreement On April 16, 2021, Bancorp entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American River Bankshares ("AMRB"), parent company of American River Bank ("ARB"), whereby AMRB will merge with and into Bancorp and immediately thereafter ARB will merge with and into Bank of Marin (collectively, the "Merger"). The acquisition will expand Bank of Marin's presence throughout the Greater Sacramento, Amador and Sonoma County Regions where ARB has ten branches. Under the terms of the merger agreement, AMRB shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.575 shares of Bancorp's common stock for each share of AMRB's common stock outstanding upon consummation of the Merger. AMRB had total assets of $ 916.1 million, total deposits of $ 788.6 million, and total loans of $ 475.4 million as of March 31, 2021. These amounts are subject to fair value adjustments upon the close of the Merger. The Merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021, subject to approval by shareholders of Bancorp and AMRB, receipt of required regulatory and other approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
