This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ include, without limitation: (1) the ability to execute our business plan successfully and manage strategic initiatives; (2) the impact of current and future economic and financial market conditions, including unemployment rates, inflation, interest rates, supply-demand imbalances, and geopolitical matters; (3) factors impacting the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values, financial health of borrowers, and loan concentrations; (4) the effects of monetary and fiscal policies, including interest rates, money supply, and inflation; (5) changes in federal, state, or local tax laws; (6) the impact of changes in governmental policy and regulatory requirements on our operations; (7) changes in consumer spending, borrowing, and saving habits; (8) changes in the performance and creditworthiness of customers, suppliers, and counterparties; (9) increased credit risk and higher credit losses due to loan concentrations; (10) volatility in mortgage banking income due to interest rates and demand; (11) adequacy of our internal controls and risk management programs; (12) competitive pressures among financial services organizations; (13) uncertainty regarding changes in banking regulations and other regulatory requirements; (14) our ability to meet heightened supervisory requirements and expectations; (15) the impact of changes in accounting policies and practices on our financial condition; (16) the reliability and accuracy of assumptions and estimates used in applying critical accounting estimates; (17) the potential for higher future credit losses due to changes in economic assumptions; (18) the ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes and our reliance on third-party vendors; (19) operational issues related to and capital spending necessitated by the implementation of information technology systems on which we are highly dependent; (20) the ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through computer systems and telecommunications networks; (21) the impact of security breaches or failures in operational systems; (22) the impact of geopolitical instability and trade policies on our operations including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; (23) the impact of changes in credit ratings of government debt and financial stability of sovereign governments; (24) the effect of stock market price fluctuations on our asset and wealth management businesses; (25) litigation and regulatory compliance exposure; (26) availability of earnings and excess capital for dividend declarations; (27) the impact of fraud, scams, and schemes on our business; (28) the impact of natural disasters, pandemics, and other emergencies on our operations; (29) potential deterioration of the economy due to financial, political, or other shocks; (30) impact of healthcare laws and potential changes on our costs and operations; (31) the ability to grow deposits and maintain adequate deposit levels, including by mitigating the effect of unexpected deposit outflows on our financial condition; and (32) other risk factors related to the banking industry.
Forward-looking statements should be construed in the light of such risks. It is impossible to predict or identify all potential risk factors. Consequently, readers should not consider the foregoing list to be a complete set of all potential risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward looking statement in this Form 10-Q are based on current information as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and Park does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.

PARK NATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared for Park In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2025.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated condensed balance sheets, consolidated condensed statements of income, consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income, consolidated condensed statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA in Park's 2024 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2024 Form 10-K. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, and considers each interim period an integral part of an annual period. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Note 2 - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements impacting Park's consolidated condensed financial statements:
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2024-02 - Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to Concepts Statements: In March 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-02 - Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most cases the references were extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in previous Statements to provide guidance on certain topical areas.
ASU 2024-02 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2024-02 did not have an impact on Park's consolidated financial statements.
Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
ASU 2023-09- Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will require entities to disclose more detailed information in the reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose more detailed information about income taxes paid, including by jurisdiction.
ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have an impact on Park's consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.

Table of Contents
ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The disclosures will require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) deprecation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities and other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, as applicable.
ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and public business entities are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively; however, entities are permitted to apply the amendments retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have an impact on Park's consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.

At June 30, 2025, Park’s debt securities portfolio consisted of $954.5 million of securities, $795.3 million of which were in an unrealized loss position with aggregate unrealized losses of $62.0 million. Of the $795.3 million of securities in an unrealized loss position, $642.9 million were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Of the $62.0 million in unrealized losses, $43.2 million were related to Park's "U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities" portfolios. For non-agency debt securities, Park verified that the current credit ratings remain above investment grade. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the credit profile of each non-agency debt security and assesses whether any impairment to the contractually obligated cash flow is likely to occur. Based on these reviews, management has concluded that the underlying creditworthiness for each security remains sufficient to maintain required payment obligations and that changes in value are largely the result of changes in the yield curve, therefore, unrealized losses have not been recognized into net income. Management does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell, the securities prior to their anticipated recovery in respect of the unrealized losses. Management believes the value will recover as the securities approach maturity or market interest rates change.
There was no ACL recorded for debt securities AFS at either June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no credit-related investment impairment losses recognized.

Nonaccrual commercial loans are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. Additionally, accruing collateral dependent commercial loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are individually evaluated. Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down nonaccrual loans individually evaluated to the fair value of the underlying collateral. Nonaccrual consumer loans are collectively evaluated based on similar risk characteristics.
The following tables provide the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class of loan, at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024:

Credit Quality Indicators
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is included in the previous tables. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: (1) overdrafts in the commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio segment; (2) retail loans in the construction real estate portfolio segment; (3) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate portfolio segment; and (4) consumer loans and check loans in the consumer portfolio segment. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all commercial loans on a scale from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the responsible loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded a 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher PD is applied to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of Park’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher PD is applied to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Park will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected. Commercial loans graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording an individual reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are placed on nonaccrual status and included within the individually evaluated category. A commercial loan is deemed nonaccrual, and is individually evaluated, when management determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.

Table of Contents
Loans and Leases Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality
PCD loans are individually evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if a reserve is necessary. At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, there was no ACL on PCD loans. The carrying amount of accruing loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024 was $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The carrying amount of nonaccrual loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality was $541,000 and $551,000 at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively.
Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Management identifies loans as modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has altered the cash flow of the loan as part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of the borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Park modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, a term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or an interest rate reduction.
In some cases, Park provides multiple types of modifications on one loan. Typically, one type of modification, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another modification, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. For the loans included in the combination columns below, multiple types of modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period. The combination is at least two of the following: a term extension, principal forgiveness, an other-than-insignificant payment delay and/or an interest rate reduction.
The starting point for the estimate of the ACL is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. As a result, the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the ACL and a change to the ACL is generally not recorded upon modification. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the ACL.

Table of Contents
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans at June 30, 2025 and 2024 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial difficulty as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below.

Upon the determination that a modified loan (or a portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged-off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the ACL is adjusted by the same amounts.
Note 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.
Quantitative Considerations
The ACL is primarily calculated utilizing a DCF model. Key inputs and assumptions used in this model are discussed below:
•Forecast model - For each portfolio segment, a LDA was performed in order to identify appropriate loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows. The LDA analysis utilized Park's own FFIEC Call Report data for the commercial, financial and agricultural and residential real estate portfolio segments. Peer data was incorporated into the analysis for the commercial real estate, construction real estate, and consumer portfolio segments. Park updated the LDA in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic indicators showed significant deterioration, however, Park, along with most financial institutions, observed little to no meaningful increase in default activity. This can be attributed to external intervention in the form of deferral programs and government stimulus which is unlikely to reoccur in future downturns. For these reasons, management has excluded data from 2020-2022 in the LDA by using indicator variables during this time period.
•Probability of default – PD is the probability that an asset will be in default within a given time frame. Park has defined default to be when a charge-off has occurred, a loan is placed on nonaccrual, or a loan is greater than 90 days past due. Whenever possible, Park utilizes its own loan-level PDs for the reasonable and supportable forecast period. When loan-level data is not available reflecting the forecasted economic conditions, the LDA is utilized to estimate

Table of Contents
PDs. In all cases, the LDA is then utilized to determine the long-term historical average, which is reached over the reversion period.
•Loss given default – LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. Whenever possible, Park utilizes its own loan-level LGDs for the reasonable and supportable forecast period. When it is not possible to use Park's own LGDs, the LGD is derived using a method referred to as Frye Jacobs. In all cases, the Frye Jacobs method is utilized to calculate LGDs during the reversion period and long-term historical average.
•Prepayments and curtailments – Prepayments and curtailments are calculated based on Park’s own data utilizing a three-year average. This analysis is updated annually in the fourth quarter and was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•Forecast and reversion – Park has established a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-year straight line reversion to the long-term historical average.
•Economic forecast - Park utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are weighted in order to reflect model risk in the current economic environment. The scenario weighting is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis.
◦As of June 30, 2024, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 4.33% and 4.56% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at June 30, 2024, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. The continued elevated levels of inflation, volatile levels of consumer confidence, continued elevated interest rates, financial system stress and geopolitical conflict (including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas) and stress in the commercial real estate sector, continued to cause uncertainty as to the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the existing weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at June 30, 2024.
◦As of December 31, 2024, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 4.48% and 4.60% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at December 31, 2024, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications are showing improvement and stabilization, volatile levels of consumer confidence, higher unemployment rates, the impact of elevated inflation for several years with no immediate indications of sustained decline, the interest rate environment, financial system stress, and geopolitical conflict (including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas) and stress in the commercial real estate sector, continued to cause uncertainty as to the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the existing weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at December 31, 2024.
◦As of March 31, 2025, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 4.51% and 4.85% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at March 31, 2025, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications are showing stabilization, lower levels of consumer confidence, higher unemployment rates, the impact of elevated inflation for several years with no immediate signs of sustained decline, the interest rate environment, financial system stress, geopolitical conflict, uncertainty regarding fiscal policy of the new political administration, including tariffs, and stress in the commercial real estate sector cause uncertainty to the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the existing weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at March 31, 2025.
◦As of June 30, 2025, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 5.02% and 5.35% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at June 30, 2025, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications are showing stabilization or slight improvement, volatile and low levels of consumer confidence, higher unemployment rates, the impact of elevated inflation for several years with the impact of tariffs being unknown, the interest rate environment, financial system stress, geopolitical conflict (including conflict related to tariffs), uncertainty regarding fiscal policy of the new political administration, including tariffs, and stress in the commercial real estate sector cause uncertainty to the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the existing weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at June 30, 2025.

Qualitative Considerations
Park reviews various internal and external factors to consider the need for any qualitative adjustments to the quantitative model. Factors considered include the following:
•The nature and volume of Park’s financial assets; the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit and the volume and severity of past due financial assets, the volume of nonaccrual assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded assets. Specifically, management considers:
◦Trends (e.g., growth, reduction) in specific categories of the loan portfolio, as well as adjustments to the types of loans offered by Park.
◦Level of and trend in loan delinquencies, troubled loans, commercial watch list loans and nonperforming loans.
◦Level of and trend in new nonaccrual loans.
◦Level of and trend in loan charge-offs and recoveries.
•Park's lending policies and procedures, including changes in lending strategies, underwriting standards and practices for collections, charge-offs, and recoveries.
•The quality of Park’s credit review function.
•The experience, ability, and depth of Park’s lending, investment, collection, and other relevant management and staff.
•The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments; competition; geopolitical conflict; and events such as natural disasters or pandemics.
•Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments in the markets in which Park operates that affect the collectability of financial assets.
•Where the U.S. economy is within a given credit cycle.
•The extent that there is government assistance (stimulus).
Qualitative adjustments amounted to $2.5 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Qualitative adjustments included a $745,000 and $757,000 reserve at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to Hurricane Helene which impacted borrowers in Park's Carolina region. This reserve considers the overall population of loans to borrowers in this area. While Helene impacted this region in October 2024, many borrowers are still navigating the insurance claim process and local businesses are waiting to see the full economic impact on tourist season. Management will continue to evaluate potential losses as a result of Hurricane Helene as additional information becomes available. Qualitative adjustments also included a $1.4 million reserve at June 30, 2025 related to several special purpose mortgage loan programs to assist borrowers in attaining home ownership. As of June 30, 2025, the total loans in these special purpose mortgage loan programs totaled $207.9 million. Delinquency rates within these special purpose mortgage loan programs have become higher than those of Park's traditional 30-year mortgage portfolio loans. These special purpose mortgage loan programs require very little, if any, down payment, and the loan-to-value on these loans are generally at 90% or above. For these reasons, management expects that the PD and LGD related to loans within these programs will be higher than that of Park's standard 30-year portfolio loans and established a qualitative factor related to the increased risk of loss on mortgage loans within these programs. Management will continue to evaluate this portfolio as additional information becomes available.

ACL Summary
Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the ACL. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all internally classified commercial nonaccrual loans which are individually evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, accruing collateral dependent commercial loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are individually evaluated. (See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to consolidated financial statements included in Park’s 2024 Form 10-K).
The composition of the ACL at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024 was as follows:

Note 11 – Loan Servicing
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1.84 billion at June 30, 2025, $1.86 billion at December 31, 2024 and $1.89 billion at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, $2.4 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse, compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2024 and $2.7 million at June 30, 2024. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management had established reserves of $18,000 and $50,000, respectively, to account for expected losses on loan repurchases.
When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, these servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value. Park has selected the “amortization method” as permissible within U.S. GAAP, whereby the servicing rights capitalized are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income with respect to the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of MSRs is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value. The amortization of MSRs is included within "Other service income" in the consolidated condensed statements of income.

Note 12 - Leases
Park is a lessee in several noncancellable operating lease arrangements, primarily for retail branches, administrative and warehouse buildings, ATMs, and certain office equipment within its Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kentucky markets. Certain of these leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from one year to five years. Park’s leases generally do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease arrangements include fixed payments plus, for many of Park’s real estate leases, variable payments such as Park's proportionate share of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance.
Park's operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are presented in “Operating lease ROU asset" and "Operating lease liability," respectively, on Park's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The carrying amounts of Park's ROU asset and lease liability at June 30, 2025 were $16.1 million and $17.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of Park's ROU asset and lease liability were $15.7 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Park's operating lease expense is recorded in "Occupancy expense" on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Note 13 – Repurchase Agreement Borrowings
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") with customers represent funds deposited by customers, generally on an overnight basis, that are collateralized by investment securities owned by Park. Repurchase agreements with customers are included in "Short-term borrowings" on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
All repurchase agreements are subject to terms and conditions of repurchase/security agreements between Park and the customer and are accounted for as secured borrowings. Park's repurchase agreements consist of customer accounts and securities which are pledged on an individual security basis.
At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, Park's repurchase agreement borrowings totaled $95.7 million and $90.4 million, respectively. These borrowings were collateralized with U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities with a fair value of $117.2 million and $124.1 million at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively. Declines in the value of the collateral would require Park to pledge additional securities. At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, Park had $377.8 million and $440.2 million, respectively, of available unpledged securities.

Note 14 - Derivatives
Park uses certain derivative financial instruments (or "derivatives") to meet the needs of its customers while managing the interest rate risk associated with certain transactions. Park does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. A summary of derivative financial instruments utilized by Park follows.
Interest Rate Swaps
Park utilizes interest rate swap agreements (or "interest rate swaps") as part of its asset-liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position and as a means to meet the financing, interest rate and other risk management needs of qualifying commercial banking customers. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.
In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired interest rate swaps related to certain commercial loans. Simultaneously with borrowers entering into interest rate swaps, Carolina Alliance entered into offsetting interest rate swaps executed with a third party, such that Carolina Alliance minimized its net interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These interest rate swaps had a notional amount totaling $13.8 million and $15.4 million at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively.
All of the Company's interest rate swaps were determined to be fully effective during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded in "Other assets" and "Other liabilities" with changes in fair value recorded in "Other comprehensive income (loss)". The amount included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax" would be reclassified to net income should the hedges no longer be considered effective. Park expects the outstanding hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining respective terms of the interest rate swaps.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free-standing derivatives. In order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated as hedge relationships. The fair value of an interest rate lock is recorded at the time the commitment to fund the mortgage loan is executed and is adjusted for the expected exercise of the commitment before the loan is funded. Fair values of these mortgage banking derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in "Other service income" in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, Park had $8.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by a derivative asset of $160,000 and $85,000 at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively.
Other Derivatives
In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during 2009, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the swap agreement liability of $109,000 and $103,000, respectively, represented an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Note 19 – Fair Value
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:
•Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
•Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect Park's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of individually evaluated collateral dependent loans is typically based on the fair

value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals in accordance with Park's valuation requirements under its commercial and real estate loan policies.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities discussed above:
Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses and is classified as Level 3.
Interest rate swaps:The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using DCF (Level 3).
Mortgage interest rate lock commitments: Mortgage IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.
Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using market prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

Level 3 corporate debt securities consist of a single debt security at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 which was valued using a discounted cash flow calculation. Significant unobservable inputs include the credit spread assumption which was 3.67% at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as described below:
Individually evaluated collateral dependent loans: When a loan is individually evaluated, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Collateral dependent loans which are individually evaluated and carried at fair value have been partially charged off or receive allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral is then adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and the customer’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Individually evaluated loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, valuations for all collateral dependent loans are updated annually, either through independent valuations by a licensed appraiser or a VOV performed by an internal licensed appraiser, in accordance with Company policy. A VOV can only be used in select circumstances and verifies that the original appraised value has not deteriorated through property inspection, consideration of market conditions, and performance of all valuation methods utilized in a prior valuation.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all internally classified commercial nonaccrual loans and accruing collateral dependent loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
OREO: Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Table of Contents
Appraisals for both individually evaluated collateral dependent loans and OREO are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are three types of appraisals received by the Company: real estate appraisals, income approach appraisals, and lot development loan appraisals. These are discussed below:
•Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real estate appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical discounts to appraised values on sold OREO.
•Income approach appraisals typically incorporate the annual net operating income of the business divided by an appropriate capitalization rate, as determined by the appraiser. Management generally applies a 15% discount to income approach appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs).
•Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a DCF analysis. Appraisers determine an anticipated absorption period and a discount rate that takes into account an investor’s required rate of return based on recent comparable sales. Management generally applies a 6% discount to lot development appraised values, which is an additional discount above the net present value calculation included in the appraisal, to account for selling costs.
MSRs: MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such, management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified as Level 2.
The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Individually evaluated collateral dependent loans secured by real estate are carried at fair value if they have been charged down to fair value or if a specific valuation allowance has been established. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no PCD loans carried at fair value. Additionally, there were no accruing, individually evaluated, collateral-dependent loans carried at fair value. A new cost basis is established at the time a property is initially recorded in OREO. OREO properties are carried at fair value if a devaluation has been taken with respect to the property's value subsequent to the initial measurement. There were no OREO properties recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2025.

Note 20 - Segment Information
Park's chief operating decision maker is Park's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. While the chief decision maker monitors the operating results of its lines of business, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
The segment is determined by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products, and services are similar. The chief operating decision maker will evaluate the financial performance of Park's business components such as by evaluating interest income, interest expense, other revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing Park's segment and in the determination of allocation resources. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated net income to benchmark Park against its peers. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used in assessment of performance and in establishing compensation. Loans, investments, deposits, and fiduciary income provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll/benefits provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. All operations are domestic.
Accounting policies for Park's reportable segment are the same as described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2024 Form 10-K. Segment performance is

evaluated using consolidated net income. Information reported internally for performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker follows, inclusive of reconciliations of significant segment totals to the financial statements.

Table of Contents
A description of Park's material revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
Income from fiduciary activities (gross): Park earns fiduciary fee income and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with wealth management customers for various fiduciary and investment-related services. These fees are earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly and quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of the trust assets.
Service charges on deposit accounts and ATM fees: The Corporation earns fees from the Corporation's deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Fees for transaction-based services, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering fees, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are generally recognized at the end of the month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.
Other service income: Other service income includes income from (1) the sale and servicing of loans sold to the secondary market, (2) incentive income from third-party credit card issuers, and (3) loan customers for various loan-related activities and services. Income related to the sale and servicing of loans sold to the secondary market is included within "Other service income", but is not within the scope of ASC 606. Services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are recognized as revenue when the Company satisfies the Company's performance obligation to the customer.
Debit card fee income: Park earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted primarily through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, net of card network fees, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.
Gain or loss on sale of OREO, net: The Corporation records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of delivery of an executed deed. When Park finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Corporation assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform the buyer's obligation under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Corporation adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.
Note 22 - Subsequent Events
On July 11, 2025, Park provided notice under that certain Indenture, dated as of August 20, 2020, by and between Park and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated August 20, 2020, that Park has elected to redeem on September 1, 2025 (the “Redemption Date”) all of Park’s $175,000,000 outstanding 4.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (or "MD&A") contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures where management believes them to be helpful in understanding Park’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation from the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, can be found herein.
Items Impacting Comparability of Period Results
From time to time, revenue, expenses and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results are due to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.
Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not result in the inclusion of an item as one impacting comparability of period results. For example, changes in the provision for/(recovery of) credit losses (aside from those related to former Vision Bank loan relationships), gains (losses) on equity securities, net, and asset valuation adjustments, reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as items impacting comparability of period results.
Management believes the disclosure of items impacting comparability of period results provides a better understanding of Park's performance and trends and allows management to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of Park's performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance taking such items into account.
Items impacting comparability of the results of particular periods are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Park's management uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews the return on average tangible equity, the return on average tangible assets and pre-tax, pre-provision net income.
Management has included in the tables included within the "Items Impacting Comparability" section of this MD&A information relating to the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets and pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible equity, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible equity during the period. Average tangible equity equals average shareholders' equity during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible assets, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating pre-tax, pre-provision net income, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, income taxes and the provision for credit losses are added back to net income, in each case during the applicable period.
Management believes that the disclosure of the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets and pre-provision net income presents additional information to the reader of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park's peer financial holding companies and bank holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. In the tables included within the "Items Impacting Comparability" section of this MD&A, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible equity from average shareholders' equity, average tangible assets from average assets and pre-tax, pre-provision net income from net income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets and pre-tax, pre-provision net

income are substitutes for the annualized return on average equity, the annualized return on average assets and net income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Financial Measures
Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a federal corporate income tax rate of 21 percent. In the tables included within the "Items Impacting Comparability" section of this MD&A, Park has provided a reconciliation of FTE interest income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that FTE interest income, yields and ratios are substitutes for interest income, yields and ratios, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Credit Losses: Park believes the determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting estimates. The ACL is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses over the life of an asset or an off-balance sheet credit exposure. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based on periodic evaluations of past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. However, this evaluation has subjective components requiring material estimates, including expected default probabilities, the expected loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on individually evaluated loans, and estimated losses based on historical loss experience and forecasted economic conditions. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
One of the significant judgments impacting the ACL is the economic forecasts for Ohio unemployment, Ohio GDP, and Ohio HPI. These economic forecasts inform the regression model used to calculate cash flows during the reasonable and supportable forecast period. Additionally, multiple economic forecast scenarios are weighted to arrive at the quantitative reserve. Changes in the economic forecast or weighting could significantly affect the estimated credit losses which could potentially lead to materially different allowance levels from one reporting period to the next.
As noted above, in calculating the ACL, management weighs different scenarios, including a baseline (most likely) scenario and an adverse scenario. At June 30, 2025, management applied a 50% weighting to the baseline scenario and applied a 50% weighting to the adverse scenario. To create hypothetical sensitivity analyses, management calculated a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to a baseline scenario and a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to an adverse scenario. The adverse scenario assumes among other things that: (1) Worries that the Israel-Hamas conflict will widen and Russia's invasion of the Ukraine will persist longer than expected. Risk grows that China may block the Taiwan Strait, causing business and consumer confidence to decline. Retaliatory tariffs reduce U.S. exports and lead to a global downturn. (2) Due to continuing concerns about rising inflation, the Federal Reserve raises federal funds rates. However, the Federal Reserve resumes easing rates as the recession persists. (3) Europe goes into a recession as increased tariffs lower exports. Populism in Europe rises, raising uncertainties about the longevity of the Euro zone and causes financial stress to highly indebted nations. These developments further lower U.S. exports and the corporate earnings of foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies. (4) Impacts of Trump tariffs and deportations are significantly worse than expected. Tariff rates rise from about 2% to 27% and the administration does not roll them back significantly until the second half of 2027. Retaliatory tariffs reduce U.S. exports and lead to global turn-down. Tax revenues are lower than in the baseline creating a higher deficit. (5) A recession occurs in the third quarter of 2025 and lasts through the first quarter of 2026 resulting in real GDP declining by 2.6%, unemployment rates rising to a peak of 8.3% in the third quarter of 2026, and the stock market falling 35% from the second quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026. The adverse scenario also forecasts Ohio unemployment for the next twelve months to range from 7.0% to 9.6%. Excluding consideration of qualitative adjustments, this sensitivity analysis would result in a hypothetical increase in Park's ACL of $28.7 million as of June 30, 2025 if only the adverse scenario was used. Excluding consideration of qualitative adjustments, a corresponding $28.7 million decrease in Park's ACL would occur in a hypothetical scenario if only the baseline (most likely) scenario was used.

Pension Plan: The determination of Pension Plan obligations and related expenses requires the use of assumptions to estimate the amount of benefits that employees will earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. Annual pension income/expense is principally based on four components: (1) the value of benefits earned by employees for working during the year (service cost), (2) the increase in the liability due to the passage of time (interest cost), and (3) other gains and losses, reduced by (4) the expected return on plan assets for our Pension Plan.
Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension expense include:
•the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate);
•certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality;
•the expected return on assets in our funded Pension Plan; and
•the rate of salary increases where benefits are based on earnings.
Our assumptions reflect our historical experience and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations. Due to the significant management judgment involved, our assumptions could have a material impact on the measurement of our Pension Plan income/expense and obligation.

Net interest income of $213.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 represented a $19.9 million, or 10.3%, increase compared to $193.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was a result of a $13.1 million increase in interest income and a $6.8 million decrease in interest expense.
The $13.1 million increase in interest income was due to a $19.6 million increase in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in investment income. The $19.6 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily the result of

a $343.1 million (or 4.55%) increase in average loans, from $7.53 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $7.88 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as an increase in the yield on loans, which increased 26 basis points to 6.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 6.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $6.5 million decrease in investment income was primarily the result of a $144.3 million (or 9.64%) decrease in average investments, including money market investments, from $1.50 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $1.35 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in investment income was also due to a decrease in the yield on investments, including money market investments, which decreased 54 basis points to 3.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The $6.8 million decrease in interest expense was due to a $5.0 million decrease in interest expense on deposits, as well as a $1.8 million decrease in interest expense on borrowings. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was the result of a decrease in the cost of deposits of 22 basis points, from 1.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 1.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by a $146.0 million (or 2.59%) increase in average on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits from $5.64 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $5.78 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits was due to increase in savings accounts and time deposits, which were partially offset by decreases in transaction accounts and brokered and bid CD deposits. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was the result of a decrease in the cost of borrowings of 24 basis points, from 4.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as well as a $68.2 million (or 20.21%) decrease in average borrowings from $337.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $269.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The provision for credit losses of $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 represented a decrease of $1.7 million, compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for Credit Losses” section for additional details regarding the level of the provision for credit losses recognized in each period presented.

Other income of $57.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 represented an increase of $2.9 million, or 5.3%, compared to $55.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $1.9 million increase in income from fiduciary activities was largely due to an increase in the market value of assets under management. The $601,000 increase in service charges on deposits was largely due to an increase in maintenance fees on deposits. The $1.2 million increase in other service income was mainly due to an increase in mortgage related other service income. The $920,000 decrease in bank owned life insurance income was primarily related to a decrease in death benefits received during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in loss on sale of debt securities, net was due to net losses on the sale of debt securities of $398,000 recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to no net losses on sale of debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in gain (loss) on equity securities, net was mostly due to increases in net gains in equity securities carried at fair value as well as a decrease in the net loss on capital investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. The decrease in miscellaneous income was largely due to an increase in net loss on sale and disposal of assets, largely due to the impact of strategic initiatives.

Credit Metrics and Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is the amount subtracted from/added to the allowance for credit losses to ensure the allowance is sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses over the life of a loan. The amount of the provision for credit losses is determined by management based on relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets.
The table below provides additional information on the provision for credit losses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The total allowance for credit losses of $89.8 million at June 30, 2025 represented a $1.7 million, or 1.9%, increase compared to $88.1 million at March 31, 2025. The increase was due to a $1.9 million increase in general reserves, partially offset by a $270,000 decrease in individual reserves on nonaccrual loans.
The total allowance for credit losses of $89.8 million at June 30, 2025 represented a $1.8 million, or 2.1%, increase compared to $88.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due to a $2.3 million increase in general reserves partially offset by a $525,000 decrease in individual reserves on nonaccrual loans.
The increase in general reserves at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included a $1.4 million additional qualitative reserve related to several special purpose mortgage loan programs to assist borrowers in attaining home ownership. As of June 30, 2025, the loans in these special purpose mortgage loan programs totaled $207.9 million. Delinquency rates within these special purpose mortgage loan programs have become higher than those of Park's traditional 30-year mortgage portfolio loans. These special purpose mortgage loan programs require very little, if any, down payment, and the loan-to-value on these loans are generally at 90% or above. For these reasons, management expects that the PD and LGD related to loans within these programs will be higher than that of Park's standard 30-year portfolio loans and established a qualitative factor related to the increased risk of loss on mortgage loans within these programs. Management will continue to evaluate this portfolio as additional information becomes available.
Nonperforming Assets: Non-performing assets include: (1) loans whose interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (2) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to accrue; and (3) OREO which results from taking possession of property that served as collateral for a defaulted loan.

Nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2025 of $65.5 million represented a $2.4 million, or 3.7%, increase from $63.1 million at March 31, 2025. The increase was mostly attributable to an increase in nonperforming consumer mortgage loans, partially offset by a reduction in nonaccrual commercial loan balances due to loan payoffs and collection efforts. Nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2025 of $65.5 million represented a $4.4 million, or 6.3%, decrease from $69.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decline was mostly attributable to a reduction in nonaccrual commercial loan balances due to loan payoffs and collection efforts, partially offset by an increase in nonaccrual consumer mortgage loans.
Park classifies loans as nonaccrual when a loan (1) is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, (2) payment in full of principal or interest is not expected, or (3) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days for commercial loans and 120 days for all other loans. As a result, loans may be classified as nonaccrual despite being current with their contractual terms. The following table details the delinquency status of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. Loans are classified as current if they are less than 30 days past due.

Credit Quality Indicators: When determining the quarterly credit loss provision, Park reviews the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded a 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher PD is applied to these loans. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered to be watch list credits, represent higher credit risk than those rated special mention and, as a result, a higher PD is applied to these loans. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording an individual reserve. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are placed on nonaccrual status and included within the individually evaluated category. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.

* Commercial loans include (1) Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, (2) Commercial real estate loans, (3) Commercial related loans in the construction real estate portfolio, (4) Commercial related loans in the residential real estate portfolio and (5) Leases.
Park's watch list includes all criticized and classified commercial loans defined by Park as loans rated special mention or worse. Park had $98.2 million of accruing commercial loans included on the watch list at June 30, 2025, compared to $99.9 million at December 31, 2024, and $74.1 million at June 30, 2024. The existing conditions of these loans do not warrant classification as nonaccrual. However, these loans have shown some weakness and management performs additional analysis regarding each borrower's ability to comply with payment terms.
Park considers a loan delinquent when it reaches 30 days past due. Delinquent and accruing loans were $24.3 million, or 0.30%, of total loans at June 30, 2025, compared to $28.4 million, or 0.36% of total loans at December 31, 2024, and $25.4 million or 0.33% of total loans at June 30, 2024.
Individually Evaluated Loans: Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Park has determined that any commercial loans which have been placed on nonaccrual status will be individually evaluated. Additionally, accruing collateral dependent commercial loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty will be individually evaluated. Individual analysis will establish a reserve for loans in scope. Reserves on individually evaluated commercial loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans. The amount ultimately charged off for these loans may be different from the reserve as the ultimate liquidation of the collateral may be for an amount different from management’s estimate.
Nonaccrual individually evaluated commercial loans were $46.5 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $6.6 million, compared to $53.1 million at December 31, 2024 and a decrease of $8.5 million, compared to $55.0 million at June 30, 2024. Accruing individually evaluated commercial loans were $14.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $15.3 million at December 31, 2024 and no accruing individually evaluated commercial loans at June 30, 2024.
At June 30, 2025, Park had taken partial charge-offs of $3.5 million related to the $46.5 million of nonaccrual individually evaluated commercial loans, compared to partial charge-offs of $5.0 million related to the $53.1 million of nonaccrual individually evaluated commercial loans at December 31, 2024.
Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality: PCD loans are individually evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if a reserve is necessary. At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, there was no allowance for credit losses on PCD loans. The carrying amount of accruing loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024 was $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The carrying amount of nonaccrual loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024 was $541,000 and $551,000, respectively.
Additional Considerations:As part of its quarterly allowance process, Park evaluates certain industries which are more likely to be under economic stress in the current environment. The office sector continues to face challenges from adjustments companies have made as a result of the pandemic. Nationally, office properties in downtown and urban business districts are seeing the most stress. As of June 30, 2025, Park had $285.5 million of loans which were fully or partially secured by non-owner-occupied office space, $283.3 million of which were accruing. This portfolio is not currently exhibiting signs of stress, but Park continues to monitor this portfolio, and others, for signs of deterioration.
Additionally, in calculating the allowance, management considered the geopolitical environment and uncertainty regarding the fiscal policy of the new political administration, including tariffs. While it is too early to assess the impact of increased tariffs on individual borrowers, management continues to weigh a baseline ("most likely" scenario) forecast with a "moderate

recession" scenario in calculating the general reserve. The "moderate recession" scenario considers the impact of tariffs being higher for longer than considered in the "most likely" scenario

Income from fiduciary activities increased by $894,000, or 8.3%, to $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $10.7 million for the same period of 2024 and increased $1.9 million, or 9.0%, to $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $20.7 million for the same period of 2024. The increase in income from fiduciary activities was largely due to an increase in the market value of assets under management. The average market value of assets under management for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $8,838 million compared to $8,373 million for the same period in 2024. The average market value of assets under management for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $8,802 million compared to $8,373 million for the same period in 2024.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $300,000, or 13.6%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.2 million for the same period of 2024 and increased by $601,000, or 13.9%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.3 million for the same period of 2024. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to a $358,000 increase in maintenance fees on deposit accounts, partially offset by a decline of $62,000 in NSF income. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to a $687,000 increase in maintenance fees on deposit accounts, partially offset by a decline of $91,000 in NSF income.
Other service income increased by $825,000, or 28.4%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 2024 and increased $1.2 million, or 22.8%, to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.4 million for the same period for the same period of 2024. The primary reason for the increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was a $689,000 increase in income related to mortgage loans due to an increase in origination volume. The primary reason for the increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was a $970,000 increase in income related to mortgage loans due to an increase in origination volume.

Bank owned life insurance income decreased by $920,000, or 21.9%, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.2 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in received death benefits.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, Park sold certain AFS debt securities with a book value of $31.2 million at a gross loss of $398,000. There were no sales of debt securities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.
Gain (loss) on equity securities, net, changed by $2.1 million, to a net gain of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net gain of $358,000 for the same period in 2024. The $2.1 million change for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was related to a $1.8 million change in the gain (loss) on other equity securities which went from a net gain of $449,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to a net gain of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and a $274,000 change in the gain (loss) on equity securities held at NAV, which went from a $92,000 net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to a $182,000 net gain for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Gain (loss) on equity securities, net, changed by $1.9 million, to a net gain of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net loss of $329,000 for the same period in 2024. The $1.9 million change for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was related to a $1.3 million change in the gain (loss) on other equity securities which went from a net gain of $453,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to a net gain of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and a $665,000 change in the gain (loss) on equity securities held at NAV, which went from a $782,000 net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to a $117,000 net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Miscellaneous income decreased $1.1 million, or 59.1%, to $732,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was largely due to a decrease in the net gain on the sale and disposal of assets which decreased from $774,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $18,000 for the same period in 2025. This decline was largely due to the impact of strategic initiatives.
Miscellaneous income decreased $1.8 million, or 65.1%, to $952,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was largely due to an increase in the net loss on the sale and disposal of assets which went from a net gain of $630,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to a net loss of $849,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Other Expense

Items Impacting Comparability (Non-U.S. GAAP)
From time to time, revenue, expenses, and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results relate to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.
The following table details those items which management believes impact the comparability of current and prior period amounts.

Income Tax
Income tax expense was $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 and consisted of federal income tax expense of $10.8 million and state income tax expense of $436,000. This compares to income tax expense of $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, which consisted of federal income tax expense of $8.7 million and state income tax expense of $273,000. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was 18.9%, compared to 18.5% for the same period in 2024. Income tax expense was $20.3 million for the first half of 2025 and consisted of federal income tax expense of $19.5 million and state income tax expense of $763,000. This compares to income tax expense of $16.2 million for the first half of 2024, which consisted of federal income tax expense of $15.6 million and state income tax expense of $595,000. The effective income tax rate for the first half of 2025 was 18.3%, compared to 17.8% for the same period in 2024.
The difference between the statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21% and Park's effective income tax rate reflects permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, qualified affordable housing and historical tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on the common shares held within Park's KSOP, offset by the impact of state income taxes. Park expects permanent federal income tax differences for the 2025 year will be approximately $6.7 million.
Comparison of Financial Condition
At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024
Changes in Financial Condition
Total assets increased by $144.2 million during the first six months of 2025 to $9,950 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $9,805 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the following:
•Cash and cash equivalents increased by $32.6 million, or 20.3%, to $193.1 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $160.6 million at December 31, 2024. Money market instruments increased by $7.0 million and cash and due from banks increased by $25.6 million.
•Loans increased by $146.1 million, or 1.9%, to $7,963 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $7,817 million at December 31, 2024.
•Total investment securities decreased by $38.3 million, or 3.5%, to $1,063 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $1,101 million at December 31, 2024.
Total liabilities increased by $93.6 million, or 1.1%, during the first six months of 2025 to $8,655 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $8,562 million at December 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to the following:
•Total deposits increased by $94.2 million, or 1.2%, to $8,238 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $8,144 million at December 31, 2024.
•Short-term borrowings increased by $5.2 million, or 5.8%, to $95.7 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $90.4 million at December 31, 2024.
•Other liabilities decreased by $10.0 million, or 12.8%, to $68.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $78.0 million at December 31, 2024.
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $50.6 million, or 4.1%, to $1,294 million at June 30, 2025, from $1,244 million at December 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to the following:
•Retained earnings increased by $55.2 million during the period primarily as a result of net income of $90.3 million, partially offset by cash dividends on common shares of $35.0 million.
•Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes decreased by $14.7 million during the period primarily as a result of a $14.7 million unrealized net holding gain on debt securities available-for-sale, net of income tax effect.
•Treasury shares increased by $16.8 million during the period as a result of the repurchase of common shares to be held as treasury shares, partially offset by the issuance of treasury shares under share-based compensation awards (net of common shares withheld to pay employee income taxes).
•Common shares decreased by $2.4 million during the period as a result of the issuance of treasury shares under share-based compensation awards (net of common shares withheld to pay employee income taxes), partially offset by share-based compensation expense.
Increases or decreases in the investment securities portfolio, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent
94
Table of Contents
that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to do so.
Liquidity
Cash provided by operating activities was $87.5 million and $85.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net income was the primary source of cash from operating activities for each of the six-months periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Cash used in investing activities was $96.0 million and $40.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Proceeds from the sale, repayment, or maturity of investment securities provide cash and purchases of investment securities use cash. Net investment securities transactions provided cash of $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $162.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Another major use or source of cash in investing activities is the net increase or decrease in the loan portfolio. Cash used by the net increase in the loan portfolio was $145.0 million and $186.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities was $41.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million for the six months ended June30, 2024. A major source of cash for financing activities is the net change in deposits. Deposits (net of off-balance sheet deposits) increased and provided $94.2 million and $269.9 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Another major source/use of cash from financing activities is borrowings in the form of short-term borrowings, long-term debt and subordinated notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net short-term borrowings increased and provided $5.2 million in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net short-term borrowings decreased and used $233.7 million in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash declined by $20.1 million due to the repurchase of common shares to be held as treasury shares; while there were no repurchases of common shares during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Finally, cash declined by $35.4 million and $35.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, from the payment of dividends.
Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met. Funds are available from a number of sources, including the capital markets, the investment securities portfolio, the core deposit base, FHLB borrowings and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The most easily accessible forms of liquidity, Fed Funds Sold, unpledged investment securities and available FHLB borrowing capacity, totaled $1.91 billion at June 30, 2025. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 80.04% at June 30, 2025, compared to 79.72% at December 31, 2024 and 77.26% at June 30, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents were $193.1 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $160.6 million at December 31, 2024 and $261.5 million at June 30, 2024. Management believes that the present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs in the short-term (next 12 months) and the long-term (beyond the next 12 months).
Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2025 was $1,294 million, or 13.0% of total assets, compared to $1,244 million, or 12.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2024 and $1,183 million, or 11.9% of total assets, at June 30, 2024.
Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts and bank holding companies. Park has elected not to include the net unrealized gain or loss on debt securities AFS in computing regulatory capital. Park has adopted the Basel III regulatory capital framework as approved by the federal banking agencies. Under the Basel III regulatory capital framework, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Park must hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The amounts shown below as the adequately capitalized ratio plus capital conservation buffer include the 2.50% buffer. The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted capital requirements Park must maintain to be deemed "well capitalized" and remain a financial holding company.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 67 of Park’s 2024 Form 10-K (Table 32) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2024. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first six months of 2025.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
PNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The exposure to credit loss (for PNB) in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. PNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk were as follows:

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a quarterly basis by modeling the consolidated financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. With the shift in deposit mix and other balance sheet composition changes, Park has experienced a moderation in earnings risk exposure to either rising or falling interest rate environments, and management views its risk profile as being relatively interest rate risk neutral. Management actively monitors changes in the sensitivity position and has ample tools to adjust exposure as needed. As a result, management expects further changes in interest rates to have a modest impact on net income.
On page 66 (Table 31) of Park’s 2024 Form 10-K, management reported that Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $301.6 million or 3.4% of total interest earning assets at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $293.3 million or 3.23% of total interest earning assets.
Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve-month horizon.
On page 67 of Park’s 2024 Form 10-K, management reported that at December 31, 2024, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 1.3% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 1.3% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At June 30, 2025, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 0.8% using a rising interest rate scenario and would decrease by 1.3% in a declining interest rate scenario. At June 30, 2025, management continues to believe that it has the tools necessary to mitigate gradual changes in interest rates (50 basis points per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) such that the overall impact to net income will be modest.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2025 (the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer have concluded that:
•information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Park’s management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
•information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
•Park’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025 (the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Park's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park's fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are routinely engaged in various litigation and other legal matters that are part of, or incidental to, our ordinary course of business and we have a number of unresolved lawsuits and open matters pending resolution. While the ultimate liability with respect to these matters and claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe that losses, damages, or liabilities, if any, and other amounts relating to pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause Park's actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s 2024 Form 10-K, we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. All of these risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating Park's business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Park's 2024 Form 10-K. Any of the risks described in Park's 2024 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
