To our Shareholders, Customers, and Communities (3/13/2023)

Friday ended the day with California regulators closing Silicon Valley Bank. Over the weekend a New York bank was closed by regulators. If you or members of your family were investors in these banks, I am sorry for what you are going through. Silicon Valley Bank was a major lender to tech start-up businesses, which they seemed to do well. They began doing business in other industries that were less well known to them, and that other banks deemed too risky to do. It caused them to grow too fast and strained their ability to manage their banks safely. – Click here for the full letter to our community.
