Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our
business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. A detailed discussion of our risk factors is
included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2022.
The following information supplements our risk
factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent and future bank failures may adversely
affect the Company’s business, earnings and financial condition.
The failure of other banks can have significant
impacts on the national, regional and local banking industry and the business environment in which the Company operates. The recent bank
failures of Silicon Valley Bank in California, Signature Bank in New York, and First Republic Bank in California during the first and
second quarters of 2023 have caused a degree of panic and uncertainty in the investor community and among bank customers generally. While
the Company does not believe that the circumstances of these three bank failures are indicators of broader issues with the banking system,
these and any future bank failures may reduce customer confidence, affect sources of funding and liquidity (for example, by increasing
the withdrawal or transfer of deposits by customers), increase regulatory requirements and costs, adversely affect financial markets and/or
have a negative reputational ramification for the banking industry as a whole. The Company will continue to monitor the ongoing events
concerning these three banks, as well as any future potential bank failures and/or volatility within the banking industry in general,
along with any responsive measures taken by the banking regulators to mitigate or manage potential turmoil in the banking industry.
