Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 31, 2026: 49 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Related to Our Lending
  • We have recently experienced an increase in nonperforming assets.
  • Adverse events in Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, and West Virginia, where our business is concentrated, could adversely affect our results of operations and future growth.
  • We have a significant number of loans secured by real estate, and a downturn in the local or national real estate market could negatively impact our profitability.
  • Our loan portfolio is concentrated within certain industries and borrowing relationships.
  • Our loan portfolio consists of a high percentage of loans secured by non-farm non-residential real estate. These loans carry a greater credit risk than loans secured by one- to four-family properties.
  • A portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans secured by accounts receivables, inventory, equipment or other commercial collateral, the deterioration in value of which could increase the potential for future losses.
  • A portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial leases secured by equipment or other commercial collateral, the deterioration in value of which could increase the potential for future losses.
  • A portion of our loan portfolio consists of syndicated loans, including syndicated loans known as shared national credits, secured by assets located generally outside of our market area. Syndicated loans may have a higher risk of loss than other loans we originate because we are not the lead lender and we have limited control over credit monitoring.
  • If the allowance for credit losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, earnings could decrease.
  • Emphasis on the origination of short-term loans could expose us to increased lending risks.
  • The level of concentrations in our commercial real estate loan portfolio subjects us to additional regulatory scrutiny.
The other 38 risks
  • We are subject to regulatory enforcement risk, reputation risk and litigation risk regarding our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and Main Street Lending Program and we are subject to the risk that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guarantees.
  • The foreclosure process may adversely impact our recoveries on non-performing loans.
  • We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.
  • Risks Related to Interest Rates
  • Interest rate shifts may reduce net interest income and otherwise negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
  • Risks Related to Liquidity
  • A lack of liquidity could adversely affect our operations and jeopardize our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Public funds deposits are an important source of funds for us and a reduced level of those deposits may hurt our profits.
  • Risks Related to Business Strategy
  • Our strategy of pursuing acquisitions exposes us to financial, execution and operational risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
  • We may not be able to successfully maintain and manage our growth.
  • Risks Related to Earnings
  • We depend primarily on net interest income for our earnings rather than noninterest income.
  • We obtain a significant portion of our noninterest revenue through service charges on core deposit accounts, and regulations impacting service charges could reduce our fee income.
  • Risks Related to Competition
  • We may be unable to successfully compete with others for business.
  • Risks Related to Operations
  • We face risks related to our operational, technological and organizational infrastructure, including those related to artificial intelligence.
  • A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, could impair our liquidity, disrupt our businesses, result in the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation and cause financial losses.
  • Our failure to effectively implement new technologies including artificial intelligence could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
  • Risks Related to Accounting
  • Changes in accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial condition and results of operations.
  • We hold certain intangible assets that could be classified as impaired in the future. If these assets are considered to be either partially or fully impaired in the future, our earnings and the book values of these assets would decrease.
  • Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results or prevent fraud.
  • We could recognize losses on securities held in our securities portfolio, particularly if interest rates increase or economic and market conditions deteriorate.
  • Other General Business Risks
  • Hurricanes or other adverse weather conditions can have an adverse impact on our market areas.
  • We rely on our management team and our board of directors for the successful implementation of our business strategy.
  • Risks Related to Laws, Regulations and Industry
  • We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations.
  • Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business, and we may be required to remediate adverse examination findings.
  • Certain of our activities require financial holding company status, which is subject to regulatory requirements.
  • We may be unable to disclose some restrictions or limitations on our operations imposed by our regulators.
  • We may be required to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed, or it may only be available on unacceptable terms, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • We are subject to the CRA and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to material penalties.
  • Difficult market conditions have adversely affected the industry in which we operate.
  • Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase, which would reduce our profitability.
  • Changes in the policies of monetary authorities and other government action could adversely affect our profitability.
  • Curtailment of government guaranteed loan programs could affect a segment of our business, and government agencies may not honor their guarantees if we do not originate loans in compliance with their guidelines.
  • Risks Associated with an Investment in our Securities
  • An active, liquid market for our securities may not be sustained.
  • We have several large shareholders, and such shareholders may independently vote their shares in a manner that you may not consider to be consistent with your best interest or the best interest of our shareholders as a whole.
  • Our ability to declare and pay dividends is limited.
  • The Series A Preferred Stock constitutes an equity security and ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and will rank junior to our and First Guaranty Bank’s future indebtedness.
  • The Series A Preferred Stock and the depositary shares representing the Series A Preferred Stock effectively rank junior to any existing and all future liabilities of our subsidiary First Guaranty Bank.
  • Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are non-cumulative and discretionary.
  • The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and therefore the holders of the depositary shares representing the Series A Preferred Stock, have limited voting rights.
  • First Guaranty and First Guaranty Bank have incurred indebtedness, and may in the future incur additional indebtedness, which have rights that are senior to those of First Guaranty’s shareholders.

Legal proceedings

First Guaranty is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. First Guaranty assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings. Where it is probable that First Guaranty will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, First Guaranty records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. First Guaranty does not record a loss if the loss is not probable, or the amount of the loss is not estimable. First Guaranty Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit alleging fault for a loss of funds by a customer related to fraud by a third party, with a possible loss range of $0.0 million to $1.5 million. The Bank denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, which is in early stages, and no trial has been set. No accrued liability has been recorded related to this lawsuit. In the opinion of management, neither First Guaranty nor First Guaranty Bank is currently involved in such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on First Guaranty’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against First Guaranty or First Guaranty Bank could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect the reputation of First Guaranty and First Guaranty Bank, even if resolved favorably.
