Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On August 28, 2024, FLIC, a predecessor company to the Company by merger, filed an 8-K disclosing that its subsidiary, FNBLI was notified by a client of suspicious wire transfer activity in July 2024 involving the client's bank accounts. According to the 8-K, the wire transfer activity arose as the result of unauthorized access to banking information within the client's control. FLIC completed an investigation with the assistance of a digital forensic investigations firm, which did not yield evidence of unauthorized bank network activity.
The net amount of funds at issue, after the initial return of recalled wires, involved in the suspicious wire transfer activity is approximately $11.1 million.
On January 22, 2025, the client filed suit against FLIC and FNBLI claiming damages of approximately $11.1 million. The Company and the Bank, as the successors to FLIC and FNBLI, vehemently disagree with the client's allegations and intend to vigorously defend these claims. The case is still in the discovery stage.
