Welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We are glad you are here. And would you please join me in welcoming our Executive Chairman, Scott Dueser, to the stage at this time.

F. Dueser
Executive Chairman

Good morning, and welcome. What a great group, we are excited that we have so many people here. And I just want to tell you that it means a lot for -- to us, for you to be here. And I think it's very important that you do come to these meetings. It's a time to learn about the bank to know what we're doing, where we're going, and what we're going to be in the future. And so you as our owners, we work for you, and we want you to know about the company. This happens to be our 53rd Annual Meeting since the company was organized as a bank holding company in 1973. We're so happy to have all of you here. And I'm looking forward to getting around at the luncheon and visiting with each of you personally. We also welcome those of you viewing live stream, which we have a number of doing that, they couldn't come, but they're watching the meeting right now, and they're also going to be able to see the luncheon.

We're sorry that they couldn't attend, but we appreciate them listening in and their interest in our company. I'm Scott Dueser, and as Executive Chair, it's my pleasure to preside at today's meeting. Your interest and dedication to our company are very gratifying to
