As many of our shares of common stock are held of record in "street name" by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial holders of our common stock represented by these record holders.

The graph shown below depicts the total return to shareholders during the period beginning after December 31, 2016, and ending December 31, 2021. The definition of total return includes appreciation in market value of the stock, as well as the actual cash and stock dividends paid to shareholders. The comparable indices utilized are the Russell 3000 Index, representing approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market, and the S&P U.S. Small Cap Banks Index, comprised of publicly traded banks with a market capitalization between $750 million to $3.3 billion, which are located in the United States.
