ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2026.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026. This conclusion is due to
the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which have not yet been fully remediated.

•

•

•

Table of Contents
Management is committed to the remediation of these material weaknesses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we continued to implement our remediation plan, and these ongoing efforts represent a
change in our internal control over financial reporting. Specific remediation activities undertaken during the quarter include:
•
Continued engagement of third-party consultants to assist in our remediation design and implementation.
•
Began redesigning and formalizing key controls related to deposit operations and the financial statement disclosure process.
•
Implemented enhanced procedures and monitoring controls for account reconciliations and the complete identification of related party transactions.
•
Initiated enhancements to our information technology general controls, including processes related to access management and change management.
The material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are
operating effectively. Other than these ongoing remediation efforts, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
