AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Note 1 - Accounting Policies Nature of Business and Basis of Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Horizon Bank (“Horizon Bank” or the “Bank”), which is an Indiana commercial bank. All inter–company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year of 2026 or 2025. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of Horizon’s management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Horizon for the periods presented. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in Horizon’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Horizon as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date. Horizon Bancorp has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through commercial banking, offering retail banking and private wealth management from North America. Horizon Bancorp’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on consolidated net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income , and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Horizon’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K. The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the business or distribute dividends to shareholders. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking against Horizon Bancorp’s competitors. The competitive analysis, along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results, is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. On July 16, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program for up to 2,250,000 shares of Horizon’s issued and outstanding common stock, no par value. As of June 30, 2026 , Horizon had repurchased a total of 803,349 shares at an average price per share of $ 16.89 . Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income less dividend requirements for preferred stock and accretion of preferred stock discount) by the weighted–average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. 9 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 595 and 836 securities, respectively, with market values below their cost basis. The total fair value of these investments without an allowance at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $ 572.6 million and $ 310.1 million , which is approximately 64 % and 35 % , respectively, of the Company's available for sale securities portfolio. The Company determines credit losses on available-for-sale investment securities by a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate. The allowance for credit losses is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss. The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Beginning balance $ 120 $ — $ 120 $ — Credit loss expense (benefit) — 150 — 150 Ending balance $ 120 $ 150 $ 120 $ 150 Due to a specific issuer's deferral of principal and interest payments, the Company had placed a corporate debt security with a fair value of $ 4.1 million on non-accrual status in June 2025 and has recorded a $ 120 thousand allowance for credit loss. Based on an evaluation of available evidence, management believes the unrealized losses on available for sale state and municipal securities, U.S. agency mortgage–backed securities and corporate notes, excluding certain securities disclosed above, were due to changes in interest rates. Due to the contractual terms, the issuers of state and municipal securities are not allowed to settle for less than the amortized cost of the security. In August 2025, the Company reclassified its held-to-maturity investment portfolio, with a carrying value of $ 1.8 billion and unrealized loss of $ 282.6 million, to the available-for-sale portfolio as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning. Following the reclassification, the Company sold securities with a fair value of $ 1.4 billion, recognizing a pre-tax loss of $ 299.5 million upon sale. Following the transfer and sale, the Company released the allowance for credit losses related to the held-to-maturity investment portfolio. The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Portfolio Segment Class of Financing Receivable Commercial Owner occupied real estate Non-owner occupied real estate Residential spec homes Development & spec land Commercial and industrial Residential real estate Residential mortgage Residential construction Consumer Direct installment Indirect installment Home equity Portfolio segment is defined as a level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses. Class of financing receivable is defined as a group of financing receivables determined on the basis of both of the following, 1) risk characteristics of the financing receivable, and 2) an entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Generally, the Bank does not move loans from a revolving loan to a term loan other than construction loans. Construction loans are reviewed and rewritten prior to being originated as a term loan. 16 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves larger loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets, the general economy or fluctuations in interest rates. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of property type, and are monitored for concentrations of credit. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, cash flow and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. 17 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Real Estate and Consumer With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

The amortized cost of modified loans that had a payment default during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 and that were modified within the previous 12 months was zero . For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the previously reported $ 1.8 million and $ 2.8 million in defaulted receivables, respectively, were made current during the 24 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) second quarter. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company defines “default” as being 30 days or more past due of contractual interest or principal. Collateral Dependent Financial Assets A collateral dependent financial loan relies solely on the operation or sale of the collateral for repayment. In evaluating the overall risk associated with the loan, the Company considers character, overall financial condition and resources, and payment record of the borrower; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and the nature and degree of protection provided by the cash flow and value of any underlying collateral. However, as other sources of repayment become inadequate over time, the significance of the collateral's value increases and the loan may become collateral dependent. The tables below present the amortized cost basis and allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) allocated for collateral dependent loans in accordance with ASC 326, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Repossessed assets are a component of other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Credit Quality Indicators Horizon Bank’s processes for determining credit quality differ slightly depending on whether a new loan or a renewed loan is being underwritten, or whether an existing loan is being re–evaluated for credit quality. The latter usually occurs upon receipt of current financial information or other pertinent data that would trigger a change in the credit quality grade. • For new and renewed commercial loans, the Bank’s Credit Department, which acts independently of the loan officer, assigns the credit quality grade to the loan. Loan grades for loans with an aggregate credit exposure that exceeds the authorities in the respective regions (ranging from $ 3,000,000 to $ 6,000,000 ) are validated by the Loan Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Commercial Banking Officer (“CCBO”). • Commercial loan officers are responsible for reviewing their loan portfolios and promptly assessing any adverse change in credit quality and revising the risk rating appropriately. When circumstances warrant a change in the credit quality grade, loan officers are required to notify the Credit Department of the change in the credit quality grade. Downgrades are accepted immediately, however, lenders must present their factual information to the Credit Department when recommending an upgrade. Downgrades to impaired status require the concurrence of the CCBO and the Senior Workout Loan Manager. • The CCBO, or a designee, meets periodically with loan officers to discuss the status of past due loans and classified loans. These meetings are also designed to give the loan officers an opportunity to identify an existing loan that should be downgraded to a classified grade. • Monthly, senior management meets as members of the Watch Committee, which reviews all of the past due, classified, and impaired loans and the relative trends of these assets. This committee also reviews the actions taken by management regarding foreclosure mitigation, loan extensions, loan modifications, other real estate owned and personal property repossessions. The information reviewed in this meeting acts as a precursor for developing management’s analysis of the adequacy of the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases. For residential real estate and consumer loans, Horizon uses a grading system based on delinquency. Loans that are 90 days or more past due, on non–accrual, or are classified as modified loans are graded “Substandard.” After being 90 to 120 days delinquent a loan is charged off unless it is well secured and in the process of collection. If the latter case exists, the 26 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) loan is placed on non–accrual. Occasionally a mortgage loan may be graded as “Special Mention.” When this situation arises, it is because the characteristics of the loan and the borrower fit the definition of a Risk Grade 5 described below, which is normally used for grading commercial loans. Loans not graded Substandard are considered Pass. Horizon Bank employs a nine–grade rating system to determine the credit quality of commercial loans. The first five grades represent acceptable quality, and the last four grades mirror the criticized and classified grades used by the bank regulatory agencies (special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss). The loan grade definitions are detailed below. Risk Grade 1: Excellent (Pass) Loans secured by liquid collateral, such as certificates of deposit, reputable bank letters of credit, or other cash equivalents or loans to any publicly held company with a current long–term debt rating of A or better and meeting defined key financial metric ranges. Risk Grade 2: Good (Pass) Loans to businesses that have strong financial statements containing an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm and at least three years consecutive years of profits; loans supported by unaudited financial statements containing strong balance sheets, five consecutive years of profits, a five year satisfactory relationship with the Bank, and key balance sheet and income statement trends that are either stable or positive; loans secured by publicly traded marketable securities with required margins where there is no impediment to liquidation; loans to individuals backed by liquid personal assets and unblemished credit histories; or loans to publicly held companies with current long–term debt ratings of Baa or better and meeting defined key financial metric ranges. Risk Grade 3: Satisfactory (Pass) Loans supported by financial statements (audited or unaudited) that indicate average or slightly below average risk and having some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions; loans with some weakness but offsetting features of other support are readily available; loans that are meeting the terms of repayment, but which may be susceptible to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered and meeting defined key financial metric ranges. Loans may be graded Satisfactory when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply: • At inception, the loan was properly underwritten, did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk, and the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of Excellent, Good, or Satisfactory; • At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Bank from loss. • The loan has exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance. • During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the borrower is in an industry known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade may be warranted. Risk Grade 4: Satisfactory/Monitored Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable credit quality, but contain greater credit risk than Satisfactory rated loans and meet defined key financial metric ranges. Borrower displays acceptable liquidity, leverage, and earnings performance within the Bank’s minimum underwriting guidelines. The level of risk is acceptable but conditioned on the proper level of loan officer supervision. Loans that normally fall into this grade include acquisition, construction and development loans and income producing properties that have not reached stabilization. Risk Grade 4W: Management Watch Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable quality and meet defined key financial metric ranges, but with above normal risk. Borrower displays potential indicators of weakness in the primary source of repayment 27 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

Balance sheet may exhibit weak liquidity and/or high leverage. There is inconsistent earnings performance without the ability to sustain adverse economic conditions. Borrower may be operating in a declining industry or the property type, as for a commercial real estate loan, may be high risk or in decline. These loans require an increased level of loan officer supervision and monitoring to assure that any deterioration is addressed in a timely fashion. Commercial construction loans are graded as 4W Management Watch until the projects are completed and stabilized. Risk Grade 5: Special Mention Loans which possess some temporary (normally less than one year) credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention. Such loans pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan by adversely impacting the future repayment ability of the borrower. The key distinctions of a Special Mention classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential,” not “defined,” impairments to the primary source of repayment. These loans may be to borrowers with adverse trends in financial performance, collateral value and/or marketability, or balance sheet strength and must meet defined key financial metric ranges. Risk Grade 6: Substandard One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard: • Loans which possess a defined credit weakness. The likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain. Financial deterioration is under way and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss. • Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor. • The primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment, such as collateral liquidation or guarantees. • Loans have a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. • Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment. • The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, it continues to make interest payments. • The lender is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation. • Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms. • The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan. • There is a significant deterioration in market conditions to which the borrower is highly vulnerable. • The borrower meets defined key financial metric ranges. Risk Grade 7: Doubtful One or more of the following characteristics may be present in loans classified Doubtful: • Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly improbable. • The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment. • The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until the exact status of repayment is known. • The borrower meets defined key financial metric ranges. Risk Grade 8: Loss Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future. 28 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accrued interest on our loan portfolio was $ 24.4 million and $ 23.7 million, respectively. The Company utilized the Cumulative Loss Rate method in determining expected future credit losses. The loss rate method measures the amount of loan charge–offs, net of recoveries, (“loan losses”) recognized over the life of a closed pool and compares those loan losses to the outstanding loan balance of that pool as of a specific point in time (“pool date”). To estimate a CECL loss rate for the pool, management first identifies the loan losses recognized between the pool date and the reporting date for the pool and determines which loan losses were related to loans outstanding at the pool date. The loss rate method then divides the loan losses recognized on loans outstanding as of the pool date by the outstanding loan balance as of the pool date. 34 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) The Company’s expected loss estimate is anchored in historical credit loss experience, with an emphasis on all available portfolio data. The Company’s historical look–back period includes January 2009 through the current period, on a monthly basis. When historical credit loss experience is not sufficient for a specific portfolio, the Company may supplement its own portfolio data with external models or data. The Company supplemented data for 2009 and 2010 with the use of adjusted Uniform Bank Performance Report peer group data. Qualitative reserves reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience. The analysis takes into consideration other analytics performed within the organization, such as enterprise and concentration management, along with other credit–related analytics as deemed appropriate. Management attempts to quantify qualitative reserves whenever possible. The Company’s CECL estimate applies to a forecast that incorporates macroeconomic trends and other environmental factors. Management utilized Moody's economic forecast scenarios including both National and Regional econometrics, as well as management judgment, as the basis for the forecast period. The historical loss rate was utilized as the base rate, and qualitative adjustments were utilized to reflect the forecast and other relevant factors. The Company segments the loan portfolio into pools based on the following risk characteristics: financial asset type, loan purpose, collateral type, loan characteristics, credit characteristics, outstanding loan balances, contractual terms and prepayment assumptions, industry of the borrower and concentrations, and historical or expected credit loss patterns.

Fair value at June 30, 2025 was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis with discount rates ranging from 9.0 % to 11.5 % and prepayment speeds ranging from 5.8 % to 12.5 %, depending on the stratification of the specific type. Note 6 – Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill was $ 155.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an impairment may exist. When assessing goodwill for impairment, first, a qualitative assessment can be made to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its estimated carrying value. If the results of the qualitative assessment are not conclusive, a quantitative goodwill test is performed. Alternatively, a quantitative goodwill test can be performed without performing a qualitative assessment. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Note 7 – Repurchase Agreements The Company transfers various securities to customers in exchange for cash at the end of each business day and agrees to acquire the securities at the end of the next business day for the cash exchanged plus interest. The process is repeated at the end of each business day until the agreement is terminated. The securities underlying the agreement remained under the Company’s control. The following tables show repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and the related securities, at fair value, pledged for repurchase agreements: 36 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

Note 8 – Subordinated Notes On August 29, 2025, Horizon completed the offering and sale of $ 100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.000 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the “2035 Notes”). The 2035 Notes were issued by Horizon at a price equal to 100 % of their face amount. Horizon used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including in support of the repositioning of its balance sheet, and to redeem approximately $ 56.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625 % fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2030, which was completed on October 1, 2025. The 2035 Notes will bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.000 % per annum until September 15, 2030, after which time the interest rate will reset quarterly to a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 360 basis points until the 2035 Notes' maturity on September 15, 2035. The 2035 Notes are redeemable by Horizon, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after September 15, 2030, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events, subject to the receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations. The 2035 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes. The total balance, net of unamortized issuance costs, of the 2035 Notes was $ 98.3 million and $ 98.2 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Total unamortized debt issuance costs were $ 1.7 million and $ 1.8 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments Our hedging policy allows the use of interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk or hedge specified assets and liabilities. All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value 37 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) and are recorded in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, and in the net change in each of these financial statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. Fair Value Hedges Fair value hedges are intended to manage interest rate risk associated with the underlying hedged items. The Company utilizes fair value hedges and applies the portfolio layer method to hedge stated amounts within a closed portfolio of certain available-for-sale mortgage-backed debt securities. To mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on fair value, the Company previously entered into interest rate swap agreements on individual loans, converting the fixed rate loans to a variable rate. The Company also previously utilized fair value hedges to hedge investment securities, converting the fixed rate security to a variable rate. Changes in fair value of both the hedge instruments and the underlying loan and security agreements are recorded as gains or losses in interest income. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company terminated the fair value hedges on loans and securities, recording a deferred gain of $ 2.3 million on the loan termination that will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the underlying loans, and a mark-to-market adjustment of $ 0.3 million that was recorded in non-interest income on the termination of the fair value hedges against investment securities. The remaining accretion on the loans was $ 1.4 million at June 30, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk associated with certain fixed-rate investment securities. The swaps are intended to hedge changes in fair value attributable to fluctuations in that benchmark rate. Changes to fair value hedges on mortgage-backed securities are recorded as gains or losses in interest income. The hedged items consist of mortgage-backed securities which are located in the 'Investment securities, available for sale' line item on the consolidated balance sheet. The hedge relationship fair value is recorded in the "other assets" line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The hedge relationships had stated maturities ranging from March 27, 2040 to March 27, 2042. The company assesses hedge effectiveness on a monthly basis using regression analysis, the fair value hedges are considered highly effective. Other Derivative Instruments From time to time, we may enter into certain interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments. These interest rate derivative contracts relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap with a customer while concurrently entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. We agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay a third-party financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These interest rate derivative contracts allow our customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate loan. The Company enters into non–hedging derivatives in the form of mortgage loan forward sale commitments with investors and commitments to originate mortgage loans as part of its mortgage banking business. At June 30, 2026, the Company’s fair value of these derivatives were recorded and over the next 12 months are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s net income. Changes in fair value of both the forward sale commitments and commitments to originate mortgage loans were recorded and the net gains or losses included in the Company’s gain on sale of loans. The following tables summarize the fair value of our derivative financial instruments utilized by the Company on a gross basis for the periods indicated. 38 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

Collateral exchanged between the Company and dealer bank counterparties is generally subject to thresholds and transfer minimums, and usually consists of marketable securities. At June 30, 2026, the Company did not pledge any marketable securities as collateral. 39 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Note 10 – Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The Fair Value Measurements topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended June 30, 2026. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below. Available for sale securities When quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities, state and municipal securities, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate notes. Level 2 securities are valued by a third party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs. Observable inputs include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flow analysis, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment spreads and available credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions. The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class. These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed–income securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector grouping, and matrix pricing. In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model, is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities with prepayment features. Level 3 securities use the discounted cash flow model or other market indicators to calculate the fair values. Equity investments in other assets The fair value of the Company's equity investments in other assets is estimated by a third party utilizing readily determinable fair values quoted on an active market. These investments include the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan (see Note 14 - Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025). The Company informally funded its obligation to plan participants in a rabbi trust, which is consolidated by the Company, and is comprised of investment options similar to those selected by the Participants. The assets held in the rabbi trust were reported at their estimated fair value and were included in cash and other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The related accrued benefit cost (representing the Company's benefit obligation to participants) is recorded as an offsetting liability in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. These assets are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Interest rate swap agreements The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is estimated by a third party using inputs that are primarily unobservable including a yield curve, adjusted for liquidity and credit risk, contracted terms and discounted cash flow analysis, and therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Commitments to originate mortgage loans and mortgage loan contract assets/liabilities The Company’s forward commitments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in an active market with inputs that are observable. 41 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at the following: June 30, 2026 Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: Available for sale securities U.S. Treasury and federal agencies $ 15,714 $ — $ 15,714 $ — State and municipal 327,726 — 327,726 — U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities 514,656 — 514,656 — Corporate notes 39,668 — 35,694 3,974 Total available for sale securities 897,764 — 893,790 3,974 Equity securities in other assets 9,004 9,004 — — Held for trading securities 3,885 3,885 — — Interest rate swap agreements asset 15,982 — 15,982 — Commitments to originate mortgage loans 77 — 77 — Liabilities: Interest rate swap agreements liability ( 13,895 ) — ( 13,895 ) — December 31, 2025 Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: Available for sale securities U.S. Treasury and federal agencies $ 16,905 $ — $ 16,905 $ — State and municipal 319,665 — 319,665 — U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities 494,174 — 494,174 — Corporate notes 44,670 — 40,799 3,871 Total available for sale securities 875,414 — 871,543 3,871 Equity securities in other assets 7,871 7,871 — — Held for trading securities 3,883 — 3,883 — Interest rate swap agreements asset 13,965 — 13,965 — Commitments to originate mortgage loans 94 — 94 — Liabilities: Mortgage loan contracts ( 14 ) — ( 14 ) — Interest rate swap agreements liability ( 13,658 ) — ( 13,658 ) — 42 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

These valuation inputs primarily relate to expected cash flow timing, credit assumptions, and the discount rate applied to those cash flows. At the time of transfer, the security had an amortized cost of $ 5 million and the Company recognized an initial allowance for credit losses $ 150 thousand and an initial write down of $ 2.1 million; the fair value at the transfer date is reflected within "Transfers into Level 3". The following table presents the changes in fair value for assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025: Level 3 instruments at fair value June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Fair value beginning of year $ 3,871 $ — Transfers into Level 3 (at fair value on transfer date) — 2,787 Total gains/(losses) included in earnings (subsequent ACL change - AFS securities) — 30 Total gains/(losses) included in OCI 103 1,054 Ending balance – June 30, 2026 $ 3,974 $ 3,871 Certain other assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the ordinary course of business and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment): Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) June 30, 2026 Collateral dependent loans $ 464 $ — $ — $ 464 December 31, 2025 Collateral dependent loans $ 7,429 $ — $ — $ 7,429 Collateral Dependent Loans: For loans identified as collateral dependent, the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized.

Where market quotations were not available, considerable management judgment was involved in the determination of estimated fair values. Therefore, the estimated fair value of financial instruments shown below may not be representative of the amounts at which they could be exchanged in a current or future transaction. Due to the inherent uncertainties of expected cash flows of financial instruments, the use of alternate valuation assumptions and methods could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following table does not include certain financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, including some non-recurring financial instruments. See Note 10 for more details. The estimated fair values of financial instruments, as shown below, are not intended to reflect the estimated liquidation or market value of Horizon taken as a whole. The disclosed fair value estimates are limited to Horizon’s significant financial instruments at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These include financial instruments recognized as assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as well as certain off–balance sheet financial instruments. The estimated fair values shown below do not include any valuation of assets and liabilities, which are not financial instruments as defined by the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are composed of: cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. Loans Held for Sale – For mortgage loans, the fair value is derived from third party pricing models, based on active quotes. For non-mortgage loans, the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Net Loans – The fair value of net loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors. FHLB Stock – Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB. Interest Receivable/Payable – The carrying amounts approximate fair value. Deposits – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, interest bearing checking accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and are classified within Level 1. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturity and are classified within Level 2. Borrowings – Rates currently available to Horizon for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing borrowings. Subordinated Notes – The fair value of subordinated notes is based on discounted cash flows based on current borrowing rates for similar types of instruments. 44 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Junior Subordinated Debentures to Capital Trusts – Rates currently available for debentures with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing debentures.

These capital requirements implement changes arising from the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the U.S. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital framework (known as “Basel III”). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, which if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off–balance–sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The Company and Bank are subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements as defined and calculated in accordance with the Basel III–based regulations. As allowed under Basel III rules, the Company made the decision to opt–out of including accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital. The minimum regulatory capital requirements are set forth in the table below. In addition, to be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain Total risk–based, Tier I risk–based, common equity Tier I risk–based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized. There have been no conditions or events since the end of the second quarter of 2026 that management believes have changed the Bank’s classification as well capitalized. There is no threshold for well capitalized status for bank holding companies. On March 19, 2026, the federal banking regulators issued three proposals to modernize the regulatory capital framework for banks of all sizes. The federal banking agencies stated the proposals would streamline capital requirements and better align regulatory capital with risk while maintaining the safety and soundness of the banking system. The proposals are intended to be the final phase of the Basel capital reforms. Comments on the proposals were due by June 18, 2026. The Company's management continues to evaluate the impact of these proposals on the Company, the Bank, and its business, financial condition, and results of operations. 46 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Note 14 – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments, and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a client, so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and determining the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as in the Company’s policies for making commitments to extend credit. The methodology for estimating the liability for unfunded loan commitments is consistent with the allowance for credit losses on loans. The following table represents the commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 , respectively: June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Commitments to extend credit $ 1,058,286 $ 1,124,850 Standby letters of credit 18,762 22,274 Total $ 1,077,048 $ 1,147,124 Litigation Accrual Contingent Liability On June 24, 2026, a jury returned a civil verdict against the Company's subsidiary, Horizon Bank (the "Bank"), in a lawsuit stemming related to the repossession and credit reporting of a single vehicle financed through the Company's former indirect automobile lending business. The jury awarded total damages approaching $ 3.0 million, including punitive damages. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a pre-tax litigation expense and corresponding litigation accrual of $ 3.1 million related to this matter. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and intends to challenge the decision via an appeal process. The accrual will be maintained pending the resolution of the appeal process. The Company does not anticipate any broader exposure related to this matter. The Company discontinued originating indirect auto finance loans in 2023 and exited a significant majority of its remaining credit exposure in 2024. The Company does not view this event as a disruption to its core community bank model. 48 Table of Contents HORIZON BANCORP, INC.
