AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) through its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located within the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, St. Louis, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The Company is subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements includes all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including changes in interest rates and other general economic, business and political conditions, including the effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic or any resurgence thereof, including its potential effects on the economic environment, the Company's customers and operations, as well as any changes to federal, state and local government laws, regulations and orders in connection with the pandemic. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s management has evaluated and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Stock Dividend On July 1, 2021, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2021. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

Installment and other consumer loans consist primarily of the financing of automotive vehicles. At March 31, 2022, loans of $ 567.4 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit. Allowance for Loan Losses The following table illustrates the changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands) Commercial, Financial, & Agricultural Real Estate Construction - Residential Real Estate Construction - Commercial Real Estate Mortgage - Residential Real Estate Mortgage - Commercial Installment and Other Consumer Un- allocated Total Balance at beginning of period $ 2,717 $ 137 $ 588 $ 2,482 $ 10,662 $ 256 $ 61 $ 16,903 Additions: (Release of ) provision for loan losses 128 ( 77 ) 76 93 ( 2,897 ) 56 121 ( 2,500 ) Deductions: Loans charged off 35 — — — 75 56 — 166 Less recoveries on loans ( 20 ) — — ( 3 ) ( 2 ) ( 17 ) — ( 42 ) Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) 15 — — ( 3 ) 73 39 — 124 Balance at end of period $ 2,830 $ 60 $ 664 $ 2,578 $ 7,692 $ 273 $ 182 $ 14,279 Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (in thousands) Commercial, Financial, & Agricultural Real Estate Construction - Residential Real Estate Construction - Commercial Real Estate Mortgage - Residential Real Estate Mortgage - Commercial Installment and Other Consumer Un- allocated Total Balance at beginning of period $ 5,121 $ 213 $ 475 $ 2,679 $ 9,354 $ 264 $ 7 $ 18,113 Additions: Provision for loan losses ( 567 ) 83 57 ( 253 ) 573 13 94 — Deductions: Loans charged off 27 — — — 23 57 — 107 Less recoveries on loans ( 149 ) ( 13 ) — ( 168 ) — ( 25 ) — ( 355 ) Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) ( 122 ) ( 13 ) — ( 168 ) 23 32 — ( 248 ) Balance at end of period $ 4,676 $ 309 $ 532 $ 2,594 $ 9,904 $ 245 $ 101 $ 18,361 Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible or a loss is confirmed. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration. These historical loss rates for each risk group are used as the starting point to determine loss rates for measurement purposes. The historical loan loss rates are multiplied by loss emergence periods (LEP) which represent the estimated time period between a borrower first experiencing financial difficulty and the recognition of a loss. Management's look-back period began with loss history in the first quarter 2012 as the starting point through the current quarter and it will continue to include this starting point going forward. The look-back period will continue to be evaluated and will be adjusted once a sustained loss producing downturn is recognized and found to be representative of historical losses expected for the current portfolio. The Company’s methodology includes qualitative risk factors that allow management to adjust its estimates of losses based on the most recent information available and to address other limitations in the quantitative component that is based on historical loss rates. Such risk factors are generally reviewed and updated quarterly, as appropriate, and are adjusted to reflect changes in national and local economic conditions and developments, the nature, volume and terms of loans in the portfolio, including changes in volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, loan concentrations, assessment of trends in collateral values, assessment 9 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) of changes in the quality of the Company’s internal loan review department, and changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge-off and recovery practices. The funding of $ 88.4 million and $ 47.5 million in SBA PPP loans during 2020 and 2021, respectively, required management to assess the methodology that would be adopted in regard to the allowance for loan losses applicable to these loans. As the SBA PPP loans are expected to be mostly paid off within a year and carry a 100 % credit guarantee from the SBA, management determined that no allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary for these loans. At March 31, 2022, the net balance of the PPP loans totaled $ 2.3 million. All SBA PPP loans have a 1 % interest rate and the Company earns a fee that is based upon a tiered schedule corresponding with the amount of the loan to the borrower, which is deferred and recognized over the life of the loan. The PPP loan may be forgiven by the SBA if the borrower meets certain criteria as defined by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The Company reports these loans at their principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, unamortized deferred loan fee income and loan origination costs. Interest is accrued as earned and loan origination fees and direct costs are deferred and accreted or amortized into interest income, as an adjustment to the yield, over the life of the loan using the level yield method. When a PPP loan is paid off or forgiven by the SBA, the remaining unaccreted or unamortized net origination fees or costs are immediately recognized into income.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Impaired Loans Loans evaluated under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-10-35 include loans which are individually evaluated for impairment. All other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $ 18.8 million and $ 27.3 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). The net carrying value of impaired loans is based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. At March 31, 2022, $ 15.4 million of impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value less estimated selling costs of the loans' collateral compared to $ 24.2 million at December 31, 2021. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At March 31, 2022, $ 0.3 million of the Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling $ 18.8 million compared to $ 3.0 million of the Company’s allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling $ 27.3 million at December 31, 2021. Management determined that $ 16.1 , or 86 %, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at March 31, 2022 compared to $ 16.6 million, or 61 %, at December 31, 2021, primarily due to adequate collateral values , acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the periods reported. 12 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Loans are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, the ultimate collectability of interest or principal is no longer probable. In general, loans are placed on non-accrual when they become 90 days or more past due. However, management considers many factors before placing a loan on non-accrual, including the delinquency status of the loan, the overall financial condition of the borrower, the progress of management’s collection efforts and the value of the underlying collateral. Subsequent interest payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial condition of the borrower indicates that the timely collectability of interest and principal is probable and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six months. The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Loans are placed on watch status when one or more weaknesses are identified that may result in the borrower being unable to meet repayment terms or the Company’s credit position could deteriorate at some future date. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A loan is classified as a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties that lead to the restructuring of a loan, and the Company grants concessions to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. Loans classified as TDRs that are accruing interest are classified as performing TDRs. Loans classified as TDRs that are not accruing interest are classified as non-performing TDRs and are included with all other non-accrual loans for presentation purposes. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. 13 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) The following table presents the risk categories by class at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, loans classified as TDRs totaled $ 2.4 million, of which $ 0.6 million were classified as non-performing TDRs and $ 1.8 million were classified as performing TDRs. Both performing and non-performing TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of $ 179 ,000 and $ 159 ,000 related to TDRs were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s portfolio of loans classified as TDRs include concessions for the borrower given their financial condition such as applying interest rates below the current market rate, deferring principal payments, and extending maturity dates. There were no loans meeting the TDR criteria that were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company considers a TDR to be in default when it is 90 days or more past due under the modified terms, a charge-off occurs, or it is in the process of foreclosure. There were no loans modified as a TDR that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and within twelve months of their modification date. See Lending and Credit Management section for further information. Loans Held For Sale The Company designates certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loans as held for sale. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company elected the fair value option for all newly originated long-term personal real estate loans held for sale. As of December 31, 2021, all loans held for sale were carried at fair value. The loans are primarily sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, PennyMac, and various other secondary market investors. At March 31, 2022, the carrying amount of these loans was $ 0.9 million compared to $ 2.2 million at December 31, 2021. 14 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

The portfolio included 393 securities having an aggregate fair value of $ 268.0 million that were in a loss position at March 31, 2022. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer totaled $ 42.1 million at fair value at March 31, 2022. The $ 24.6 million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2022 was caused by interest rate fluctuations. The total available-for-sale portfolio consisted of approximately 435 securities at December 31, 2021. The portfolio included 134 securities having an aggregate fair value of $ 155.8 million that were in a loss position at December 31, 2021. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer totaled $ 3.2 million at fair value at December 31, 2021. The $ 2.5 million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2021 was caused by interest rate fluctuations. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In the absence of changes in credit quality of these investments, the fair value is expected to recover on all debt securities as they approach their maturity date or re-pricing date, or if market yields for such investments decline. In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments over the period of recovery, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investment securities. 18 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

Mortgage loan servicing fees, reported in real estate servicing fees, net, earned on loans sold were $ 0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $ 0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Repurchase agreements are agreements to sell securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. They are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions, not as sales and purchases of the securities portfolio. The securities collateral pledged for the repurchase agreements with customers is maintained by a designated third-party custodian . The collateral amounts pledged to repurchase agreements by remaining maturity in the table below are limited to the outstanding balances of the related asset or liability; thus amounts of excess collateral are not shown.

As of March 31, 2022, operating right of use (ROU) assets and liabilities were $ 1.7 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term on these operating leases is approximately 6.3 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liabilities is approximately 4 %. Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. Currently, the Company does not have any finance leases. The ROU assets are included in premises and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and 20 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease cost, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income. The operating lease cost was $ 94,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $ 100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. At adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, lease and non-lease components of new lease agreements are accounted for separately. Lease components include fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs and non-lease components include common-area maintenance costs. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense for these leases was $ 24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $ 13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The table below summarizes the maturity of remaining operating lease liabilities: Lease payments due in: Operating Lease (in thousands) 2022 (excluding 3 months ended March 31, 2022) $ 276 2023 367 2024 258 2025 257 2026 259 Thereafter 571 Total lease payments 1,988 Less imputed interest ( 225 ) Total lease liabilities, as reported $ 1,763 (9) Income Taxes Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 18.8 % for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 18.9 % for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to the increase in earnings and an increase in state taxes attributed to elevated earnings partially offset by the benefit recorded pertaining to the historical tax credit. The effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax-free revenues. Included in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is a $ 13,000 benefit associated with a historic tax credit investment. The investment is expected to generate a $ 321,000 tax benefit over the life of the project and is being recognized under the deferral method of accounting. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning initiatives in making this assessment. In management's opinion, the Company will more likely than not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets and, therefore, has not established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022. Management arrived at this conclusion based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income of the appropriate character over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions . For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions, and did not record any related tax liabilities. 21 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

The Company made annual contributions for the discretionary portion in an amount up to 6 % of income before income taxes and before contributions to the profit-sharing and pension plans for all participants, 22 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) limited to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, for each of the periods shown. In addition, employees were able to make additional tax-deferred contributions. Other Plans On November 7, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP), effective as of January 1, 2018. The SERP provides select employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements with certain benefits upon retirement, termination of employment or death. The accrued liability relating to the SERP was $ 1.8 million as of March 31, 2022, and the expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $ 93,000 compared to $ 97,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and is recognized over the required service period. Pension The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time and eligible employees. Beginning January 1, 2018 and for all retrospective periods presented, the Company adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . Under the guidance, only the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is reported in the same income statement line item as salaries and benefits, and the remaining components are reported as other non-interest expense. An employer is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made in a particular year. The Company made a pension contribution of $ 1.0 million on April 1, 2022. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company amended the pension plan to effectuate a “soft freeze” such that no individual hired (or rehired in the case of a former employee) by the Company after September 30, 2017, whether or not such individual is or was a vested member in the plan, will be eligible to be an active member and be entitled to accrue any benefits under the plan. Components of Net Pension Cost and Other Amounts Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The following items are components of net pension cost for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Service cost - benefits earned during the year $ 1,630 $ 1,663 Interest costs on projected benefit obligations (a) 1,183 1,023 Expected return on plan assets (a) ( 2,231 ) ( 1,825 ) Expected administrative expenses 118 104 Amortization of prior service cost (a) — — Amortization of unrecognized net loss (a) — 181 Net periodic pension cost $ 700 $ 1,146 (a) The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost component are included in other non-interest expense. Net periodic pension benefit costs include interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, the expected return on plan assets based on actuarially derived market-related values, and the amortization of net actuarial losses. Net periodic postretirement benefit costs include service costs, interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, and the amortization of prior service credits and net actuarial gains. Differences between expected and actual results in each year are included in the net actuarial gain or loss amount, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The net actuarial gain or loss in excess of a 10% corridor is amortized in net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service period of active participants in the pension plan. The prior service credit is amortized over the average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees expected to receive benefits. Currently, there is no prior service cost or net transition (asset)/obligation to be amortized. 23 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (12) Earnings per Share Stock Dividend On July 1, 2021, the Company paid a special stock dividend of 4 % to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2021. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares that were outstanding during the period. Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share, which have been restated for all stock dividends: Three Months Ended March 31, (dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2022 2021 Basic earnings per share: Net income available to shareholders $ 6,609 $ 5,839 Average shares outstanding 6,604,493 6,617,368 Basic earnings per share $ 1.00 $ 0.88 Diluted earnings per share: Net income available to shareholders $ 6,609 $ 5,839 Average shares outstanding 6,604,493 6,617,368 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.00 $ 0.88 Repurchase Program The Company's 2019 Repurchase Plan was amended during the second quarter of 2021 to authorize the purchase of up to an additional $ 5.0 million in market value of the Company's common stock. Management was given discretion to determine the number and pricing of the shares to be purchased, as well as the timing of any such purchases. During the first quarter 2022, the Company repurchased 23,536 common shares at an average cost of $ 25.75 per share totaling $ 0.6 million. As of March 31, 2022, $ 4.4 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to that authorization. (13) Fair Value Measurements Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under U.S. GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. 24 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred. Valuation Methods for Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis: Available-for-sale Securities The fair value measurements of the Company’s investment securities are determined by a third party pricing service which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value measurements are subject to independent verification to another pricing source by management each quarter for reasonableness. Other Investment Securities Other investment securities include equity securities with readily determinable fair values and other investment securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, and Midwest Independent Bank (MIB) bankers bank stock, that do not have readily determinable fair values, are required for membership in those organizations. Equity securities that are not actively traded are classified in level 2. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for impairment. The Company uses level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. Loans Held for Sale The fair value of the committed in forward sale agreements loans is the price at which they could be sold in the principal market at the measurement date, therefore the Company classifies as level 2. Derivative Assets and Liabilities Derivative assets and liabilities include interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and forward sale commitments. The fair values of IRLCs and forward sale commitments are determined using readily observable market data such as interest rates, prices, volatility factors, and customer credit-related adjustments. For IRLCs, the fair value is subject to the anticipated loan funding probability (pull-through rate), which is considered an unobservable factor. Factors that affect pull-through rates include origination channel, current mortgage interest rates in the market versus the interest rate incorporated in the IRLC, the purpose of the mortgage, stage of completion of the underlying application and underwriting process, and the time remaining until the IRLC expires. The Company classifies IRLCs as level 3 due to the unobservable input of pull-through rates. Mortgage Servicing Rights The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of estimated future cash flows utilizing contractual cash flows, servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings 25 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees. The valuation models estimate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Company classifies its servicing rights as Level 3.

Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral dependent loans when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. In determining the value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and internal appraisals of property values depending on the size and complexity of the real estate collateral. The Company maintains staff that is trained to perform in-house evaluations and also review third-party appraisal reports for reasonableness. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists. Values of all loan collateral are regularly reviewed by a senior loan committee. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2022, the Company identified $ 15.4 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that required no specific allowance for loan losses. Related to these loans, there were $ 23,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2021, the Company identified $ 31.8 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $ 4.8 million. Related to these loans, there were $ 23,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Other Real Estate and Foreclosed Assets Other real estate owned (OREO) and foreclosed assets consisted of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets initially are carried at fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state-certified appraisers. Like impaired loans, appraisals on OREO may be discounted based on the Company’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information available. During the holding period, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. 27 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

(14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value: Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans, or exit price, is estimated by using the future value of discounted cash flows using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products and adjusted for market factors. The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products adjusted to be commensurate with the credit risk, overhead costs, and optionality of such instruments. Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks The carrying amounts of short-term federal funds sold, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less. Certificates of Deposit in Other Banks Certificates of deposit are other investments made by the Company with other financial institutions that are carried at cost which is equal to fair value. Cash Surrender Value - Life Insurance The fair value of Bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) approximates the carrying amount. Upon liquidation of these investments, the Company would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount. 28 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments. Deposits The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase For Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period. Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings The fair value of subordinated notes and other borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash-flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities. 29 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) A summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows: March 31, 2022 Fair Value Measurements March 31, 2022 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Other Observable Inputs Net Significant Unobservable Inputs (in thousands) Carrying amount Fair value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Cash and due from banks $ 22,544 $ 22,544 $ 22,544 $ — $ — Federal funds sold and overnight interest-bearing deposits 27,971 27,971 27,971 — — Certificates of deposit in other banks 4,701 4,701 4,701 — — Available-for-sale securities 286,754 286,754 3,145 283,609 — Other investment securities 5,490 5,490 56 5,434 — Loans, net 1,319,644 1,326,968 — — 1,326,968 Loans held for sale 909 909 — 909 — Cash surrender value - life insurance 2,524 2,524 — 2,524 — Interest rate lock commitments 64 64 — — 64 Forward sale commitments 21 21 — 21 — Accrued interest receivable 6,241 6,241 6,241 — — Total $ 1,676,863 $ 1,684,187 $ 64,658 $ 292,497 $ 1,327,032 Liabilities: Deposits: Non-interest bearing demand $ 450,225 $ 450,225 $ 450,225 $ — $ — Savings, interest checking and money market 752,164 752,164 752,164 — — Time deposits 253,754 252,878 — — 252,878 Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase 5,514 5,514 5,514 — — Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings 77,357 77,364 — 77,364 — Subordinated notes 49,486 42,166 — 42,166 — Interest rate lock commitments 47 47 — — 47 Accrued interest payable 298 298 298 — — Total $ 1,588,845 $ 1,580,656 $ 1,208,201 $ 119,530 $ 252,925 30 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

The Company believes such commitments have been made on terms that are competitive in the markets in which it operates. Limitations The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in time based on market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates. 31 HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (15) Commitments and Contingencies The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2022, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments. The contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments were as follows as of the dates indicated: (in thousands) March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Commitments to extend credit $ 398,543 $ 396,958 Interest rate lock commitments 14,684 16,161 Forward sale commitments 909 2,199 Standby letters of credit 4,329 35,514 Total $ 418,465 $ 450,832 Commitments 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. Since certain of the commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and equipment, and real estate. The Company has two types of commitments related to mortgage loans held for sale: interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sale commitments. Interest rate lock commitments are commitments to extend credit to a customer that has an interest rate lock and are considered derivative instruments.
