Risk factors and legal proceedings

Legal proceedings

The Bank is involved in various legal matters and claims which are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters are expected, in the opinion of Management, to have a material adverse effect upon the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Additionally, on June 30, 2023, Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., issued a letter to the Company and each of the directors of the Company demanding that they immediately commence litigation on behalf of the Company for an alleged breach by the Company’s Board of Directors of its fiduciary duties in allegedly failing to properly oversee and supervise Chevis and Tanner Swetman’s management of the Company. At its July 2023 meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company established a Special Litigation Committee made up of three independent directors to investigate the allegations made in the letter. Rather than wait for the Special Litigation Committee to conclude its inquiry, Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., filed on September 29, 2023, a Complaint against the Company and Directors Chevis Swetman, Padrick D. Dennis, Jeffrey H. O’Keefe, Paige Reed Riley, Ronald Barnes, and George Sliman, III, making the same allegations that appear in the demand letter. The Court stayed the lawsuit pending the Special Litigation Committee’s inquiry. The Special Litigation Committee concluded that pursuing the claims is not in the Company’s best interest, and on March 22, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was heard by the Court on October 17, 2024, and denied, allowing limited discovery as to the reasonableness of the Special Litigation Committee’s inquiry.
