NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Business Description

Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a diversified financial holding company headquartered in Effingham, Illinois. Our 136-year old banking subsidiary, Midland States Bank (the “Bank”), has branches across Illinois and in Missouri and Colorado, and provides a broad array of traditional community banking and other complementary financial services, including commercial lending, residential mortgage origination, wealth management, merchant services and prime consumer lending. We also originate and service government sponsored mortgages for multifamily and healthcare facilities through our subsidiary, Love Funding Corporation (“Love Funding”), based in Washington, D.C. and operate a commercial equipment leasing business on a nationwide basis through our subsidiary, Heartland Business Credit Corporation (“Business Credit”), based in Denver, Colorado.

On June 9, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Centrue Financial Corporation (“Centrue”) and its banking subsidiary, Centrue Bank, as more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. We intend to merge Centrue Bank into the Bank in the third quarter of 2017. Through the Centrue acquisition, we greatly expanded our commercial and retail banking presence in northern and central Illinois.

Our principal business activity has been lending to and accepting deposits from individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities. We have derived income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investment securities. We have also derived income from noninterest sources, such as: fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; wealth management services; residential mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; and, from time to time, gains on sales of assets. Our income sources also include Love Funding’s commercial Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) loan origination and servicing income and Business Credit’s interest income on indirect financing leases. Our principal expenses include interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing costs, professional fees and other noninterest expenses, provisions for loan losses and income tax expense.

Initial Public Offering

On May 24, 2016, we completed our initial public offering and received gross proceeds of $67.0 million for the 3,044,252 shares of common stock sold by us in the offering. On June 6, 2016, we received additional gross proceeds of $12.0 million for the 545,813 shares of common stock sold when the underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase additional shares of common stock. After deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, we received total net proceeds of $71.5 million from the initial public offering.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2017. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein, have been included. Certain reclassifications of 2016 amounts have been made to conform to the 2017 presentation. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates through its principal wholly owned banking subsidiaries, Midland States Bank and Centrue Bank. The Bank operates through its branch banking offices and principal subsidiaries: Love Funding and Business Credit.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”; FASB ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date”; FASB ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”; FASB ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”; FASB ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) amended existing guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. This amendment supersedes and replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, this amendment specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. These amendments are effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company’s revenue is primarily comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09. The Company has determined the result of applying ASU 2014-09 to the individual revenue streams affected, as well as on an aggregate basis, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the disclosure requirements associated with ASU 2014-09.

FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) .” This update revises the model to assess how a lease should be classified and provides guidance for lessees and lessors, when presenting right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. This update is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet decided whether we will early adopt the new standard. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has developed a project plan for evaluating the provisions of the new lease standard, but has not yet determined the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The objective of this update is to improve financial reporting by providing timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will use forward-looking information to better understand their credit loss estimates. For public companies that are filers with the SEC, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted for any organization for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We have formed a committee that is assessing our data and system needs and are evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance. While the Company generally expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, the Company cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” – In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification

7


(“ASC”) 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted for any organization in any interim period or fiscal year. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2017. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” – In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “ Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This guidance shortens the amortization period for premiums on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date, rather than contractual maturity date as currently required under GAAP. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted for any organization in any interim period or fiscal year. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2017. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

Centrue Financial Corporation

On June 9, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Centrue and its banking subsidiary, Centrue Bank, which operates 20 full-service banking centers located principally in northern Illinois. In the aggregate, the Company acquired Centrue for approximately $176.6 million, which consisted of approximately $61.0 million in cash and the issuance of 3,219,238 shares of the Company’s common stock, 181 shares of Series G preferred stock and 2,635.5462 shares of Series H preferred stock. This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Through June 30, 2017, transaction and integration costs of $6.7 million associated with the acquisition have been expensed as incurred.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration paid is allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change, the consideration paid for the Centrue acquisition is allocated as follows (in thousands):

Prior to the end of the one year measurement period for finalizing the consideration paid allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the allocation, such adjustments will be included in the allocation in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

Goodwill of $45.9 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Centrue into the Company. The goodwill is assigned as part of the Company’s Banking reporting unit. The portion of the purchase price allocated to goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The identifiable assets acquired included the establishment of $10.4 million in core deposit intangibles, which are expected to be amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of eight years.

The pro forma results combine the historical results of Centrue with the Company’s consolidated statements of income, adjusted for the impact of the application of the acquisition method of accounting including loan discount accretion, intangible assets amortization, and deposit and trust preferred securities premium accretion, net of taxes. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2016. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions. Only the acquisition related expenses that have been incurred as of June 30, 2017 are included in net income in the table below. Acquisition related expenses that were recognized and are included in the pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $6.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.

(“CedarPoint”), an SEC registered investment advisory firm, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 15, 2017. CedarPoint had approximately $180.0 million of assets under administration. The Company acquired CedarPoint for $3.7 million, which consisted of the issuance of 102,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and an accrual in other liabilities of $345,000 for the fair value of 18,000 shares that will be held in escrow as additional consideration until at least March 31, 2019, to secure the sellers’ obligations to indemnify the Company and its affiliates for certain losses they may suffer in connection with the transaction. Intangible assets recognized as a result of the transaction consisted of approximately $2.2 million in goodwill and $2.0 million in customer relationship intangibles. The customer relationship intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 years.

For all of the above investment securities, the unrealized losses are generally due to changes in interest rates and continued financial market stress, and unrealized losses are considered to be temporary.

We evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimating OTTI losses, we consider the severity and duration of the impairment; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, which for debt securities considers external credit ratings and recent downgrades; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 66 and 107 investment securities available for sale, respectively, had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.73% and 1.13%, respectively, from their amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses relate principally to the fluctuations in the current interest rate environment. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. The Company does not have the intent to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position; therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no OTTI recognized on investment securities available for sale. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $0 and $824,000,  respectively, of OTTI on its investment securities available for sale.

The amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale investment securities as of June 30, 2017 are shown by expected maturity in the following table (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The unrealized losses relate principally to the fluctuations in the current interest rate environment. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we consider who issued the securities and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred.

The unpaid principal balance for PCI loans totaled $45.4 million and $34.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Total loans include net deferred loan fees of $2.7 million and $3.1 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and unearned discounts of $21.2 million and $20.7 million within the lease financing portfolio at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had commercial and residential loans held for sale totaling $41.7 million and $70.6 million, respectively.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold commercial and residential real estate loans with proceeds totaling $215.4 million and $473.0 million, respectively, and sold commercial and residential real estate loans with proceeds totaling $250.8 million and $456.4 million for the comparable periods in 2016, respectively.

The Company monitors and assesses the credit risk of its loan portfolio using the classes set forth below. These classes also represent the segments by which the Company monitors the performance of its loan portfolio and estimates its allowance for loan losses.

Commercial —Loans to varying types of businesses, including municipalities, school districts and nonprofit organizations, for the purpose of supporting working capital, operational needs and term financing of equipment. Repayment of such loans is generally provided through operating cash flows of the business. Commercial loans are predominantly secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other sources of repayment.

Commercial real estate —Loans secured by real estate occupied by the borrower for ongoing operations, including loans to borrowers engaged in agricultural production, and non-owner occupied real estate leased to one or more tenants, including commercial office, industrial, special purpose, retail and multi-family residential real estate loans.

Construction and land development —Secured loans for the construction of business and residential properties. Real estate construction loans often convert to a commercial real estate loan at the completion of the construction period. Secured development loans are made to borrowers for the purpose of infrastructure improvements to vacant land to create finished marketable residential and commercial lots/land. Most land development loans are originated with the intention that the loans will be paid through the sale of developed lots/land by the developers within twelve months of the completion date.  Interest reserves may be established on real estate construction loans.

Residential real estate —Loans secured by residential properties that generally do not qualify for secondary market sale; however, the risk to return and/or overall relationship are considered acceptable to the Company. This category also includes loans whereby consumers utilize equity in their personal residence, generally through a second mortgage, as collateral to secure the loan.

13


Consumer —Loans to consumers primarily for the purpose of home improvements and acquiring automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. Consumer loans consist of relatively small amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers.

Lease financing —Indirect financing leases to small businesses for purchases of business equipment. All indirect financing leases require monthly payments, and the weighted average maturity of our leases is less than four years.

Commercial, commercial real estate, and construction and land development loans are collectively referred to as the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, while residential real estate and consumer loans and lease financing receivables are collectively referred to as the Company’s other loan portfolio.

We have extended loans to certain of our directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their affiliates. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business upon normal terms, including collateralization and interest rates prevailing at the time, and did not involve more than the normal risk of repayment by the borrower. The aggregate loans outstanding to the directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their affiliates totaled $26.4 million and $26.5 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there were $2.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of new loans and other additions, while repayments and other reductions totaled $662,000 and $3.1 million, respectively.

Credit Quality Monitoring

The Company maintains loan policies and credit underwriting standards as part of the process of managing credit risk. These standards include making loans generally within the Company’s four main regions, which include eastern, northern and southern Illinois and the St. Louis metropolitan area. Our equipment leasing business, based in Denver, provides financing to business customers across the country.

The Company has a loan approval process involving underwriting and individual and group loan approval authorities to consider credit quality and loss exposure at loan origination. The loans in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio are risk rated at origination based on the grading system set forth below. All loan authority is based on the aggregate credit to a borrower and its related entities.

The Company’s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of both secured and unsecured loans that are relatively small and are evaluated at origination on a centralized basis against standardized underwriting criteria. The ongoing measurement of credit quality of the consumer loan portfolio is largely done on an exception basis. If payments are made on schedule, as agreed, then no further monitoring is performed. However, if delinquency occurs, the delinquent loans are turned over to the Company’s Consumer Collections Group for resolution. Credit quality for the entire consumer loan portfolio is measured by the periodic delinquency rate, nonaccrual amounts and actual losses incurred.

Loans in the commercial loan portfolio tend to be larger and more complex than those in the other loan portfolio, and therefore, are subject to more intensive monitoring. All loans in the commercial loan portfolio have an assigned relationship manager, and most borrowers provide periodic financial and operating information that allows the relationship managers to stay abreast of credit quality during the life of the loans. The risk ratings of loans in the commercial loan portfolio are reassessed at least annually, with loans below an acceptable risk rating reassessed more frequently and reviewed by various individuals within the Company at least quarterly.

The Company maintains a centralized independent loan review function that monitors the approval process and ongoing asset quality of the loan portfolio, including the accuracy of loan grades. The Company also maintains an independent appraisal review function that participates in the review of all appraisals obtained by the Company.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses a ten grade risk rating system to monitor the ongoing credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio. These loan grades rank the credit quality of a borrower by measuring liquidity, debt capacity, and coverage and payment behavior as shown in the borrower’s financial statements. The risk grades also measure the quality of the borrower’s management and the repayment support offered by any guarantors.

14


The Company considers all loans with Risk Grades of 1 – 6 as acceptable credit risks and structures and manages such relationships accordingly. Periodic financial and operating data combined with regular loan officer interactions are deemed adequate to monitor borrower performance. Loans with Risk Grades of 7 are considered “watch credits” and the frequency of loan officer contact and receipt of financial data is increased to stay abreast of borrower performance. Loans with Risk Grades of 8 – 10 are considered problematic and require special care. Further, loans with Risk Grades of 7 – 10 are managed and monitored regularly through a number of processes, procedures and committees, including oversight by a loan administration committee comprised of executive and senior management of the Company, which includes highly structured reporting of financial and operating data, intensive loan officer intervention and strategies to exit, as well as potential management by the Company’s Special Assets Group. Loans not graded in the commercial loan portfolio are small loans that are monitored by aging status and payment activity.

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its other loan portfolio based primarily on the aging status of the loan and payment activity. Accordingly, loans on nonaccrual status, any loan past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired for purposes of credit quality evaluation.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status, any loan past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings. Impaired loans at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 do not include $30.0 million and $28.3 million, respectively, of PCI loans. The risk of credit loss on acquired loans was recognized as part of the fair value adjustment at the acquisition date.

The difference between a loan’s recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance represents: (1) a partial charge-off resulting from a confirmed loss due to the value of the collateral securing the loan being below the loan’s principal balance and management’s assessment that the full collection of the loan balance is not likely and/or (2) payments received on nonaccrual loans that are fully applied to principal on the loan’s recorded investment as compared to being applied to principal and interest on the unpaid customer principal and interest balance. The difference between the recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance on loans was $7.1 million and $6.7 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan is categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if a concession is granted to provide for a reduction of either interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.  TDRs can take the form of a reduction of the stated interest rate, splitting a loan into separate loans with market terms on one loan and concessionary terms on the other loans, receipts of assets from a debtor in partial or full satisfaction of a loan, the extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the reduction of the face amount or maturity of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement, the reduction of accrued interest, the release of a personal guarantee in a bankruptcy situation or any other concessionary type of renegotiated debt.  Loans are not classified as TDRs when the modification is short-term or results in only an insignificant delay or shortfall in the payments to be received.

Loans modified as TDRs for commercial and commercial real estate loans generally consist of allowing commercial borrowers to defer scheduled principal payments and make interest only payments for a specified period of time at the stated interest rate of the original loan agreement or lower payments due to a modification of the loans’ contractual terms. TDRs that continue to accrue interest and are greater than $50,000 are individually evaluated for impairment, on a quarterly basis, and transferred to nonaccrual status when it is probable that any remaining principal and interest payments due on the loan will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. TDRs that subsequently default are individually evaluated for impairment at the time of default. The allowance for loan losses on TDRs totaled $279,000 and $203,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company had no unfunded commitments in connection with TDRs at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company’s TDRs are identified on a case-by-case basis in connection with the ongoing loan collection processes. The following table presents TDRs by loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company’s loan portfolio is principally comprised of commercial, commercial real estate, construction and land development, residential real estate and consumer loans and lease financing receivables. The principal risks to each category of loans are as follows:

Commercial – The principal risk of commercial loans is that these loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the collateral underlying the loans. Most often, this collateral

21


consists of accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Inventory and equipment may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. As such, repayment of such loans is often more sensitive than other types of loans to adverse conditions in the general economy.

Commercial real estate – As with commercial loans, repayment of commercial real estate loans is often dependent on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the commercial venture. While commercial real estate loans are collateralized by the borrower’s underlying real estate, foreclosure on such assets may be more difficult than with other types of collateralized loans because of the possible effect the foreclosure would have on the borrower’s business, and property values may tend to be partially based upon the value of the business situated on the property.

Construction and land development – Construction and land development lending involves additional risks not generally present in other types of lending because funds are advanced upon the estimated future value of the project, which is uncertain prior to its completion and at the time the loan is made, and costs may exceed realizable values in declining real estate markets. Moreover, if the estimate of the value of the completed project proves to be overstated or market values or rental rates decline, the collateral may prove to be inadequate security for the repayment of the loan. Additional funds may also be required to complete the project, and the project may have to be held for an unspecified period of time before a disposition can occur.

Residential real estate – The principal risk to residential real estate lending is associated with residential loans not sold into the secondary market. In such cases, the value of the underlying property may have deteriorated as a result of a change in the residential real estate market, and the borrower may have little incentive to repay the loan or continue living in the property. Additionally, in areas with high vacancy rates, reselling the property without substantial loss may be difficult.

Consumer – The repayment of consumer loans is typically dependent on the borrower remaining employed through the life of the loan, as well as the possibility that the collateral underlying the loan may not be adequately maintained by the borrower.

Lease financing – Our indirect financing leases are primarily for business equipment leased to varying types of small businesses.  If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the business’s ability to repay may become impaired.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality were originally recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and the risk of credit loss was recognized at that date based on estimates of expected cash flows.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. PCI loans are purchased loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination, and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include factors such as past due and nonaccrual status. The difference between contractually required principal and interest at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in impairment, which is recorded as provision for loan losses in the consolidated statements of income. Subsequent increases in cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges or a reclassification of the difference from non-accretable to accretable with a positive impact on interest income. Further, any excess cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

The following table is a summary of key assumptions, representing both general economic and other published information and the weighted average characteristics of the commercial and residential portfolios, used in the valuation of servicing rights at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Assumptions used in the prepayment rate consider many factors as appropriate, including lockouts, balloons, prepayment penalties, interest rate ranges, delinquencies and geographic location. The discount rate is based on an average pre‑tax internal rate of return utilized by market participants in pricing the servicing portfolios. Significant increases or decreases in any one of these assumptions would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

We recognize revenue from servicing commercial FHA and residential mortgages as earned based on the specific contractual terms. This revenue, along with amortization of and changes in impairment on servicing rights, is reported in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured residential and commercial mortgages and conventional residential mortgages. T he fair value of our servicing rights is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, cost to service, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees , replacement reserves and other economic factors that are determined based on current market conditions.

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Note 9 – Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s overall management of interest rate sensitivity, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility, including interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments / Forward Commitments to Sell Mortgage-Backed Securities

Derivative instruments issued by the Company consist of interest rate lock commitments to originate fixed-rate loans to be sold.  Commitments to originate fixed-rate loans consist of commercial and residential real estate loans. The interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale are hedged with forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities are included in other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities held by the Company, their notional amount, estimated fair values and the location in which the derivative instruments are reported in the consolidated balances sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Net losses of $396,000 and net gains of $1.1 million were recognized on derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Net gains of $4.5 million and $5.7 million were recognized on derivative instruments for three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Net gains and losses on derivative instruments were recognized in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company enters into derivative instruments related to interest rate swap contracts sold to commercial customers who wish to modify their interest rate sensitivity. These swaps are offset by contracts simultaneously purchased by the Company from other financial dealer institutions with mirror-image terms. Because of the mirror-image terms of the offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in the fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $10.3 million at June 30, 2017. The fair value of the customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments was $126,000 at June 30, 2017, which are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had federal funds lines of credit totaling $77.0 million. The lines of credit were unused at June 30, 2017.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction, which represents the amount of the Bank’s obligation. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Investment securities with a carrying amount of $187.5 million and $140.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

The Company had lines of credit of $109.4 million and $35.1 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The lines are collateralized by a collateral agreement with respect to a pool of commercial real estate loans and construction loans totaling $168.6 million and $43.3 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

On May 25, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement with another bank for a revolving line of credit in the original principal amount of up to $10.0 million and a term loan in the original principal amount of $40.0 million. The revolving line of credit matures on May 24, 2018 and pays a variable rate of interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.00%. There were no advances made on the line of credit as of June 30, 2017. The term loan matures on May 25, 2020 and pays a variable rate of interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. Beginning September 1, 2017, the Company will be required to make quarterly principal and interest payments on the term loan of $1.4 million with the remaining principal and any unpaid interest due at maturity. The loan is unsecured with a negative pledge of shares of the Company’s common stock. The loan agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio, a minimum adjusted loan loss reserves to nonperforming loans ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum percentage of nonperforming assets to tangible capital. At June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with each of these financial covenants.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Centrue on June 9, 2017, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, each share of Centrue’s Series B preferred stock was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of Series G preferred stock of the Company, and was recorded at fair value of $181,000 at the time of acquisition.

The Bank’s advances from the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket collateral agreement of qualifying mortgage and home equity line of credit loans and certain commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $1.25 billion and $1.18 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Centrue Bank’s advances from the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket collateral agreement of qualifying mortgage and home equity line of credit loans and certain commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $367.3 million at June 30, 2017.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Centrue on June 9, 2017, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company assumed $10.0 million of subordinated debentures that were recorded at a fair value of $7.6 million at the time of acquisition. In April 2004, the Centrue Statutory Trust II (“Centrue Trust II”) issued 10,000 shares of preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per preferred security. Centrue issued $10.0 million of subordinated debentures to Centrue Trust II in exchange for ownership of all the common securities of the trust. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of Centrue Trust II, therefore, the trust is not consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, and the Company’s investment in the common stock of Centrue Trust II of $310,000 is included in other assets.

Note 15 – Preferred Stock

Series G Preferred Stock

In conjunction with the acquisition of Centrue on June 9, 2017, as previously discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, each share of Centrue’s Series B preferred stock was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of Series G preferred stock of the Company, which are shown in FHLB advances and other borrowings in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. Preferential cumulative cash dividends are payable quarterly at an annual rate of $60.00 per share. Dividends accrue on each share of Series G preferred stock from the date of issuance and from day to day, thereafter, whether or not earned or declared.

Fixed Rate Non-Voting Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H

Each share of Centrue’s Series D preferred stock was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of Series H preferred stock of the Company, and was recorded at fair value of $3.1 million at the time of acquisition. Dividends are payable at a fixed rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly and are non-cumulative. No

30


dividends may be paid on shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock that rank junior to Series H preferred stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of common stock), or shares of preferred stock that rank on parity with Series H preferred stock, if a dividend is not paid in full on the Series H preferred stock, for a period of three calendar quarters from the date of the missing dividend payment date. The Company has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the shares of Series H preferred stock at any time after July 29, 2019. The per share price payable by the Company for such shares of Series H preferred stock will be equal to $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are calculated utilizing the two‑class method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock awards using the treasury stock method (outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock) and common stock warrants. Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Note 17 – Capital Requirements

Our primary source of cash is dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is restricted by Illinois law and regulations of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as to the maximum amount of dividends the Bank can pay to us. As a practical matter, the Bank restricts dividends to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate capital structure.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The regulators require the Company to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance‑sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

31


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company, the Bank and Centrue Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total capital, Tier 1 capital and Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations).

Beginning on January 1, 2016, a capital conservation buffer became effective for banking organizations, which is designed to establish a capital range above minimum requirements to insulate banks from periods of stress and impose constraints on dividends, share repurchases and discretionary bonus payments when capital levels fall below prescribed levels. The minimum capital conservation buffer in 2016 was 0.625%, is 1.25% in 2017, and will increase by 0.625% on January 1 of each subsequent year until fully phased in at 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

As of June 30 , 2017 , the Company, the Bank and Centrue Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject, and the Bank’s and Centrue Bank’s capital positions exceeded the regulatory definition of well-capitalized.

At June 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s, the Bank’s and Centrue Bank’s actual and required capital ratios were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 18 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three‑level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

·

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

·

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·

Level 3: Inputs to a valuation methodology that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity, and significant to the fair value measurement. These valuation methodologies generally include pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or a determination of fair value that requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category also includes observable inputs from a pricing service not corroborated by observable market data, such as pricing corporate securities.

Fair value is used on a recurring basis to account for securities available for sale and derivative instruments, and for financial assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option. For assets and liabilities measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for impaired loans and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as mortgage servicing rights, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets.

33


Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value, including financial assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option, on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are summarized below (in thousands):

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820) and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825):

Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. The carrying amounts are assumed to be the fair value because of the liquidity of these instruments.

Investment securities available for sale. Investment securities available for sale are measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

For investment securities available for sale where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). In determining the fair value of investment securities available for sale categorized as Level 2, we obtain a report from a nationally recognized broker‑dealer detailing the fair value of each investment security we hold as of each reporting date. The broker‑dealer uses observable market information to value our fixed income securities, with the primary source being a nationally recognized pricing service. The fair value of the municipal securities is based on a proprietary model maintained by the broker‑dealer. We review all of the broker‑dealer supplied quotes on the securities we own as of the reporting date for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and we consider any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

For investment securities available for sale where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). During the three months ended June 30, 2016, there were no investment securities transferred from Level 2 to Level 3. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, $6.7 million of corporate securities and $2,000 of non-agency mortgage backed securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because observable market inputs were not available and the securities were not actively traded; therefore, the fair value was determined utilizing third-party valuation services through consensus pricing. There were no investment securities available for sale transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Corporate securities classified as Level 3 are not actively traded, and as a result, fair value is determined utilizing third-party valuation services through consensus pricing. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 corporate securities is net market price (range of -2.0% to 2.5%; weighted average of 1.5%). Significant changes in any of the inputs in isolation would result in a significant change to the fair value measurement. Net market price generally increases when market interest rates decline and declines when market interest rates increase.

Investment securities held to maturity. Investment securities held to maturity are those debt instruments which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Securities held to maturity are recorded at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts.

For investment securities held to maturity where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). In determining the fair value of investment securities held to maturity categorized as Level 2, we obtain a report from a nationally recognized broker‑dealer detailing the fair value of each investment security we hold as of each reporting date. The fair value of the municipal securities is based on a proprietary model maintained by the broker‑dealer. We review all of the broker‑dealer supplied quotes on the securities we own as of the reporting date for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and we consider any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Nonmarketable equity securities. The carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

Loans. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type and further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by credit risk categories. The fair value estimates do not take into consideration the value of the loan portfolio in the event the loans have to be sold outside the parameters of normal operating activities. The fair value of performing fixed rate loans is estimated by

37


discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market prepayment speeds and estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. The estimated market discount rates used for performing fixed rate loans are the Company’s current offering rates for comparable instruments with similar terms. The fair value of performing adjustable rate loans is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the next repricing date. As these loans reprice frequently at market rates and the credit risk is not considered to be greater than normal, the market value is typically close to the carrying amount of these loans. The method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit‑price concept of fair value prescribed by ASC Topic 820.

Impaired loans. Impaired loans are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. All of our nonaccrual loans and restructured loans are considered impaired and are reviewed individually for the amount of impairment, if any. Most of our loans are collateral dependent and, accordingly, we measure impaired loans based on the estimated fair value of such collateral. The fair value of each loan’s collateral is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidating such collateral; such valuation inputs result in a nonrecurring fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement. When adjustments are made to an appraised value to reflect various factors such as the age of the appraisal or known changes in the market or the collateral, such valuation inputs are considered unobservable and the fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. The impaired loans categorized as Level 3 also include unsecured loans and other secured loans whose fair values are based significantly on unobservable inputs such as the strength of a guarantor, cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, and management’s judgment. The loan balances shown in the above tables represent nonaccrual and restructured loans for which impairment was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The amounts shown as losses represent, for the loan balances shown, the impairment recognized during those same years.

Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, determined individually, as of the balance sheet date.  Fair value measurements on loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices for similar loans in the secondary market.

Other real estate owned. The fair value of foreclosed real estate is generally based on estimated market prices from independently prepared current appraisals or negotiated sales prices with potential buyers; such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement on a nonrecurring basis. When a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value as a result of known changes in the market or the collateral and there is no observable market price, such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. To the extent a negotiated sales price or reduced listing price represents a significant discount to an observable market price, such valuation input would result in a fair value measurement that is also considered a Level 3 measurement.

Assets held for sale. Assets held for sale represent the fair value of the banking facilities that are expected to be sold as a result of the branch network optimization plan that was announced in November 2016. The fair value of the assets held for sale was based on estimated market prices from independently prepared current appraisals. Such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement on a nonrecurring basis.

Accrued interest receivable. The carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

Deposits. Deposits are carried at historical cost. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest‑bearing demand deposits, money market, savings and checking accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings consist of repurchase agreements. These borrowings typically have terms of less than 30 days, and therefore, their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

FHLB advances and other borrowings and subordinated debt. Borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of fixed rate borrowings is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity or call dates using estimated market discount rates that reflect rates offered at that time for borrowings with similar remaining maturities and other characteristics.

38


Trust preferred debentures. Debentures are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of variable rate debentures is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity or call dates using estimated market discount rates that reflect spreads offered at that time for borrowings with similar remaining maturities and other characteristics.

Accrued interest payable. The carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

Derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments which are agreements to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. These commitments are carried at fair value in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value reflected in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The Company also has forward loan sales commitments related to its interest rate lock commitments and its loans held for sale. These commitments are carried at fair value in other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value reflected in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The interest rate swaps are carried at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts.

Note 19 – Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal actions, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. No material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance‑sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank used the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The commitments are principally tied to variable rates. Loan commitments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company sells residential mortgage loans to investors in the normal course of business. Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages originated under our usual underwriting procedures, and are sold on a nonrecourse basis, primarily to government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”). The Company’s agreements to sell residential mortgage loans in the normal course of business usually require certain representations and warranties on the underlying loans sold, related to credit information, loan documentation, collateral, and insurability. Subsequent to being sold, if a material underwriting deficiency or documentation defect is discovered, the Company may be obligated to repurchase the loan or reimburse the GSEs for losses incurred. The make-whole requests and any related risk of loss under the representations and warranties are largely driven by borrower performance. The Company establishes a mortgage repurchase liability related to these events that reflect management’s estimate of losses on loans for which the Company could have a repurchase obligation based on a combination of factors.  Such factors incorporate the volume of loans sold in 2017 and years prior, borrower default expectations, historical investor repurchase demand and appeals success rates, and estimated loss severity. Loans repurchased from investors are initially recorded at fair value, which becomes the Company’s new accounting basis. Any difference between the loan’s fair value and the outstanding principal amount is charged or credited to the mortgage repurchase liability, as appropriate. Subsequent to repurchase, such loans are carried in loans receivable. The Company did not incur any losses as a result of make-whole requests and loan repurchases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company incurred losses as a result of make-whole requests and loan repurchases totaling $83,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The liability for unresolved repurchase demands totaled $314,000 and $329,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion explains our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Annualized results for these interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year or future periods. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2017.

In addition to the historical information contained herein, this Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including changes in interest rates and other general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in business plans as circumstances warrant; risks related to mergers and acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses; and other risks detailed from time to time in filings made by the Company with the SEC. Readers should note that the forward-looking statements included herein are not a guarantee of future events, and that actual events may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “propose,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” or “continue,” or similar terminology. Any forward-looking statements presented herein are made only as of the date of this document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based upon historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under current circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and judgments that management believes have the most effect on the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations are set forth in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no significant changes in critical accounting policies or the assumptions and judgments utilized in applying these policies since the year ended December 31, 2016.

Overview

Midland States Bancorp, Inc. is a diversified financial holding company headquartered in Effingham, Illinois. Our 136‑year old banking subsidiary, Midland States Bank, has branches across Illinois and in Missouri and Colorado, and provides a broad array of traditional community banking and other complementary financial services, including commercial lending, residential mortgage origination, wealth management, merchant services and prime consumer lending. Our commercial FHA origination and servicing business through our subsidiary, Love Funding, based in Washington, D.C., is one of the top originators of government sponsored mortgages for multifamily and healthcare facilities in the United States. Our commercial equipment leasing business through our subsidiary, Business Credit, based in Denver, provides financing to business customers across the country. As of June 30, 2017, we had $4.5 billion in assets, $3.3 billion of deposits and $452.0 million of shareholders’ equity.

In late 2007, we developed a strategic plan to build a diversified financial services company anchored by a strong community bank. Since then, we have grown organically and through a series of acquisitions, with an over‑arching focus on enhancing shareholder value and building a platform for scalability. In November 2016, we completed the acquisition of approximately $400.0 million in wealth management assets from Sterling National Bank of Yonkers, New York. In March 2017, we acquired CedarPoint, an SEC registered investment advisory firm located in Delafield, Wisconsin, which added $180.0 million of wealth management assets. In June 2017, we completed the acquisition of Centrue Financial Corporation, headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois and its subsidiary, Centrue Bank, a regional, full-service community bank. At closing, Centrue had 20 bank branches located principally in northern Illinois and total assets of $993.0 million. We intend to merge Centrue Bank into the Bank in the third quarter of 2017.

Our principal business activity has been lending to and accepting deposits from individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities. We have derived income principally from interest charged on loans and leases and, to a

42


lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investment securities. We have also derived income from noninterest sources, such as: fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; wealth management services; commercial FHA mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; residential mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; and, from time to time, gains on sales of assets. Our principal expenses include interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing costs, professional fees and other noninterest expenses, provisions for loan losses and income tax expense.

Significant Transactions

Each item listed below materially affects the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and may affect the comparability of financial information we report in future fiscal periods.

Recent Acquisitions. On June 9, 2017, the Company acquired Centrue for total consideration of $176.6 million. Consideration transferred by the Company consisted of $61.0 million in cash, 3.2 million shares of common stock, 181 shares of Series G preferred stock and 2,635 shares of Series H preferred stock. At closing, Centrue’s assets and liabilities primarily consisted of Centrue Bank and $10.0 million of trust preferred debentures. All identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were adjusted to fair value as of June 9, 2017 and the results of Centrue’s operations have been included beginning on that date.  The resultant purchase accounting adjustments have been reflected in the enclosed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. Intangible assets recognized as a result of the transaction consisted of $45.9 million in goodwill and $10.4 million in core deposit intangibles.

In March 2017, the Company acquired for $3.7 million all of the outstanding capital stock of CedarPoint, an SEC registered investment advisory firm with $180.0 million of assets under administration. In conjunction with this agreement, the Company issued 120,000 shares of common stock of which 18,000 shares were deposited into a special purpose escrow account (the “escrow shares”). Payout of the escrow shares to CedarPoint is contingent on CedarPoint reaching certain target revenue levels. Intangible assets recognized as a result of the transaction consisted of $2.2 million in goodwill and $2.0 million in customer relationship intangibles.  The customer relationship intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 years.

In November 2016, the Company acquired approximately $400.0 million in wealth management assets from Sterling for $5.2 million in cash. Intangible assets recognized as a result of the transaction consisted of approximately $2.3 million in goodwill and $2.3 million in customer relationship intangibles. The customer relationship intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

Purchased Credit‑Impaired (“PCI”) Loans. Our net interest margin benefits from favorable changes in expected cash flows on our PCI loans and from accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on the non-PCI loans included in our acquisitions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our reported net interest margin was 3.70% and 3.78%, respectively, which included accretion income of $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, generating a 13 basis point and 23 basis point favorable impact to the net interest margin for the respective periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our reported net interest margin was 4.20% and 4.01%, respectively, which included accretion income of $4.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, generating a 68 basis point and 47 basis point favorable impact to the net interest margin for the respective periods .

During the second quarter of 2016, we received payment in full on a PCI loan that was a covered asset from an FDIC-assisted acquisition. We recognized the financial impact of this transaction by recording $1.8 million of accretion income into interest income on loans and a $0.8 million credit against the provision for loan losses offsetting the allowance amount that was previously recorded against this loan. In accordance with the loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC, we also recorded loss-sharing expense of $1.5 million for reimbursement of covered losses previously paid by the FDIC on this loan.

43


Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) are carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or estimated fair value. MSR are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, and assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Impairment charges on our residential MSR totaled $0.8 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as decreases in long-term interest rates resulted in corresponding increases in estimated prepayment speeds .  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded impairment charges on our residential MSR totaling $3.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

Impairment charges on our commercial FHA MSR totaled $0.9 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The impairment we recorded in the second quarter of 2017 was due to the payoff of one large commercial FHA loan. In the second quarter of 2016, we recorded a $0.2 million recovery of previously recognized impairment charges on commercial FHA MSR. This recovery resulted in no impairment charges being recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Sale of Previously Covered Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities – On October 4, 2016, we sold previously covered non-agency mortgage-backed securities (“CMOs”) with a carrying value of $72.1 million. As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain totaling $14.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Branch Network Optimization Plan – In November 2016, the Company announced a branch network optimization plan that led to the closure of seven banking offices in the first quarter of 2017. As a result of the Centrue acquisition, the Company announced the future closure of five additional Bank facilities. Consequently, we recorded $1.1 million of asset impairment on the two banking facilities to be closed and classified $2.8 million of branch related assets as held for sale by reclassifying this amount from premises and equipment to other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2017.

Interest Rates and Operating Interest Differential

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on our interest‑earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest‑bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the previous period’s volume. Changes which are not due solely to volume or rate have been allocated proportionally to the change due to volume and the change due to rate. Interest income and average rates for tax‑exempt loans and securities were calculated on a tax‑equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%.

Net Interest Income. Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities) and interest expense of funding sources (primarily interest‑bearing deposits and borrowings). Net interest income is impacted by the volume of interest‑earning assets and related funding sources, as well as changes in the levels of interest rates. Noninterest‑bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of the noninterest‑bearing sources of funds is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin is presented on a fully‑taxable equivalent basis, which means that tax‑free interest income has been adjusted to a pretax-equivalent income, assuming a 35% tax rate.

In the second quarter of 2017, we generated $30.1 million of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, which was an increase of $1.4 million, or 5.0%, from the $28.7 million of net interest income we produced on a tax-equivalent basis in the second quarter of 2016. This increase in net interest income was primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, offset in part by a $1.0 million increase in interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our reported net interest margin was 3.70% and 4.20%, respectively. Our net interest margin benefits from discount accretion on our purchased loan portfolios. Accretion income totaled $1.3 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, generating a 13 basis point and 68 basis point favorable impact to the net interest margin for the respective periods.

47


For the first six months of 2017, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $58.2 million, an increase of $4.8 million, or 9.1%, from the $53.4 million of net interest income we generated on a tax-equivalent basis for the first six months of the prior year. This increase was mainly due to a $6.3 million increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, offset in part by a $1.5 million increase in interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , our reported net interest margin was 3.78% and 4.01%, respectively. Our net interest margin benefits from discount accretion on our purchased loan portfolios. Accretion income totaled $4.0 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, generating a 23 basis point and 47 basis point favorable impact to the net interest margin for the respective periods.

Interest Income. Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $35.2 million and $67.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $32.8 million and $61.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.  These increases were primarily attributable to increases in interest income on loans and cash investments.

Interest income on loans for the second quarter of 2017 was $30.8 million compared to $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2016.  The $3.5 million, or 12.8%, increase was primarily due to a 25.3% increase in the average balance of loans outstanding, offset in part by a 53 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, interest income on loans was $59.3 million compared to $50.7 million for the corresponding six-month period in 2016.  The $8.6 million, or 17.0%, increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 21.7% increase in the average balance of loans outstanding offset in part by an 18 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans. The increases in the average balance of loans outstanding were primarily driven by organic loan growth of 15.3% over the past year combined with the addition of $688.1 million of loans from the Centrue acquisition. The lower average yields on loans were primarily driven by the impact of decreases of $3.6 million and $2.8 million in accretion income from purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, offset in part by the impact of higher market rates on new loans. The reported yield on total loans for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 4.71% and 5.24%, respectively. Accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on loans acquired totaled $1.3 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, increasing the reported loan yields by 17 basis points and 88 basis points for each respective period.

The reported yield on total loans for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 4.80% and 4.98%, respectively. Accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on loans acquired totaled $4.0 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, increasing the reported loan yields by 88 basis points and 60 basis points for each respective period.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $1.1 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The lower yields on investment securities for the three- and six-month periods in 2017 resulted primarily from the October 2016 sale of $72.1 million of previously covered mortgage-backed securities (“CMOs”) that were yielding approximately 13.0%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.0 million, or 24.3%, to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, and $1.5 million, or 18.0%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increases in interest expense were primarily due to increases in interest expense on deposits and borrowings.

Interest expense on deposits increased to $2.8 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $2.3 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.  The $0.5 million, or 22.6%, increase in interest expense on deposits for the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increasing 14.8% combined with a three basis point increase in the average rate paid. For the six-month period, the $0.7 million, or 15.1%, increase in interest expense on deposits was mainly attributable to the average balance of deposits increasing 9.2% coupled with a three basis point increase in the average rate paid. The increases in the average balance of deposits reflected the addition of $585.7 million of interest-bearing deposits from Centrue combined with the impact of organic deposit growth. The increases in the average rates paid were primarily due to increases in market interest rates.

Interest expense on borrowings increased to $2.3 million and $4.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $1.8 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.  The $0.5 million and $0.8 million increases in interest expense on borrowings for the three and six

48


months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, were primarily due to increased usage of both short-term and long-term FHLB advances, adding $90.0 million of FHLB advances from Centrue, entering into a $40.0 million term loan and the impact of higher market interest rates on new FHLB advances.  The impact of these increases was offset in part by decreases in interest expense on subordinated debt due to the payoff of $8.0 million of 8.25% subordinated debt on June 28, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses . The provision for loan losses totaled $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $0.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. T he provision for loan losses recorded during the first six months of 2017 resulted primarily from the impact of loan growth over the past year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the provision for loan losses was impacted by a $0.8 million provision reduction related to a PCI loan that was paid in full during the second quarter of 2016 (see “Significant Transactions – Purchased Credit-Impaired (PCI) Loans ” above).

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income totaled $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest income increased $3.3 million, or 12.5%, to $30.0 million. The following tables set forth the major components of our noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Commercial FHA revenue. Noninterest income from our commercial FHA business decreased $4.4 million, or 51.4%, to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Love Funding generated gains on loans held for sale of $4.5 million and a net servicing loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to gains on loans held for sale of $7.8 million and net servicing revenues of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. The $3.3 million decrease in gains on loans held for sale was primarily due to a decrease in commercial FHA interest rate lock commitments to $151.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $281.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The $1.1 million decrease in net servicing revenue was primarily due to $0.9 million of commercial FHA servicing rights impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2017 combined with the impact of a $0.2 million recovery of previously recorded mortgage servicing rights impairment reflected in the prior year second quarter.

For the first six months of 2017, noninterest income from our commercial FHA business decreased $4.3 million, or 28.2%, to $10.8 million. Love Funding generated gains on loans held for sale of $10.9 million and a minimal net servicing loss for the first six months of 2017 compared to gains on loans held for sale of $14.0 million and net servicing revenues of $1.1 million for the first six months of 2016. The $3.1 million decrease in gains on loans held for sale resulted primarily from a decrease in commercial FHA interest rate lock commitments to $368.5 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to $508.4 million in the first six months of 2016. The $1.1 million decrease in net servicing revenue primarily resulted from $1.0 million of impairment recorded against our commercial FHA servicing rights during the first six months of 2017.

Residential mortgage banking revenue. Our residential mortgage banking activities generated gains on loans held for sale of $2.5 million and a net servicing loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to gains on loans held for sale of $3.6 million and a net servicing loss of $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. The $1.1 million decrease in gains on loans held for sale was primarily due to a 25.9% decrease in interest rate lock commitments during the second quarter of 2017. The $2.4 million increase in net servicing revenue primarily resulted from the prior year second quarter including $3.0 million of impairment recorded against our residential mortgage servicing rights compared to the second quarter of 2017 reflecting $0.8 million of MSR impairment.

For the first six months of 2017, our residential mortgage banking activities generated gains on loans held for sale of $4.8 million and net servicing revenue of $0.5 million compared to gains on loans held for sale of $6.3 million and a net servicing loss of $4.1 million in the first six months of 2016. The $1.5 million decrease in gains on loans held for sale was primarily due to a 19.8% decline in interest rate lock commitments during the first six months of 2017. The $4.6 million increase in net servicing revenue primarily resulted from $5.0 million of impairment recorded against our residential mortgage servicing rights during the first six months of 2016 compared to $0.7 million of impairment in the first six months of 2017.

Wealth management revenue. Noninterest income from our wealth management business totaled $3.4 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $1.9 million and $3.7 million for the corresponding three and six month periods in the prior year, respectively. These increases in wealth management revenue for both the three- and six-month periods were primarily due to growth in assets under administration of $731.5 million, or 61.1%, to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016. The increase in assets under administration consisted of $403.0 million of wealth management assets added from the Sterling acquisition that closed in November 2016, $180.0 million of assets under administration added from the CedarPoint acquisition and organic growth experienced during the past year.

FDIC loss-sharing expense. Fluctuations in FDIC loss-sharing expense were due to impairment charges or recoveries recorded on covered loans and other real estate owned acquired in previous FDIC-assisted transactions. In October 2016, we entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the remaining provisions of the then existing loss share agreements. As a result, we have recorded no FDIC loss-sharing expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, FDIC loss-sharing expense totaled $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. FDIC loss-sharing expense in 2016 primarily consisted of a $1.5 million reimbursement to the FDIC for 80% of covered losses paid to us previously on a covered loan that was paid in full during the second quarter of 2016 (see “Significant Transactions – Purchased Credit-Impaired (PCI) Loans ” above).

Other‑than‑temporary impairment on investment securities. During the first quarter of 2016, we recognized OTTI losses of $0.8 million due to changes in expected cash flows on three previously covered CMOs. We have recorded no OTTI loses during the first six months of 2017. Early in the fourth quarter of 2016, all previously covered CMOs totaling $72.1 million were sold.

Other income. Other income totaled $1.4 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $4.1 million for the corresponding three and six month periods in the prior year, respectively. The decreases in other income for both the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2017 were partially due to the second quarter of 2016 including the reversal of a $0.4 million contingent consideration accrual associated with the Heartland Bank acquisition. The Company concluded during the second quarter of 2016 that Love Funding would not reach the level of net income for the two-year period ending December 31, 2016 that would trigger a contingent consideration payment. Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was also impacted by a decrease in Love Funding bridge loan referral fees.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $30.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest expense increased $9.9 million, or 16.9%, to $68.4 million.

Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $4.8 million, or 28.4%, to $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. This increase included of $4.7 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the Centrue transaction. The Company recorded $4.1 million of change in control costs, along with severance and other benefit related expenses. In addition, salaries and employee benefits expense included $1.0 million and $0.2 million related to the Company’s 2017 acquisitions of Centrue and CedarPoint, respectively. Other benefits and incentive compensation expenses were $0.4 million and $0.6 million lower, respectively, for the second quarter 2017 compared to the second quarter 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $6.6 million, or 20.2%, to $39.0 million for the first six months of 2017. This increase resulted primarily from the Centrue acquisition-related costs of $4.7 million and post-acquisition operating costs of $1.2 million, discussed above, coupled with annual salary increases that went into effect in the second quarter of 2017 .

Data processing. Data processing expense increased $0.3 million, or 12.4%, to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $0.5 million, or 9.6%, to $5.7 million for the first six months of 2017 .  These increases resulted primarily from increased processing costs due to growth of our wealth management business combined with the impact of increased costs associated with the addition of Centrue.

Professional. Professional fees increased $1.6 million, or 99.7%, to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $2.9 million, or 87.4%, to $6.1 million for the first six months of 2017 .  These increases resulted primarily from nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses associated with the Centrue acquisition coupled with professional fees incurred on various technology and other integration projects.

Other noninterest expense. Other noninterest expense totaled $3.4 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Other noninterest expense is comprised of costs associated with travel, meals, postage, supplies, insurance and various nonrecurring costs. Included in other noninterest expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.1 million of asset impairment on two banking facilities scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2017. Included in other noninterest expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was a $0.5 million write-off of discount associated with the payoff of $8.0 million of subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2016, coupled with higher losses related to debit cardholder disputes.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $1.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $3.7 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Effective tax rates were 28.0% and 26.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 35.2% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Significant items that impact our effective tax rate are interest on tax-exempt securities and loans and tax-free earnings from bank-owned life insurance . The lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2017 was primarily due to income before taxes declining without a corresponding decrease in tax exempt items. The lower effective tax rates also reflected the impact of an increase in excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation award activity combined with tax benefits realized on the recent establishment of a captive insurance subsidiary.

Financial Condition

Assets. Total assets increased $1.3 billion to $4.5 billion at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016.  This increase primarily reflected the addition of $993.0 million of assets from the Centrue acquisition. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to organic loan growth of $176.0 million and an increase in cash.

52


Loans. The loan portfolio is the largest category of our assets. At June 30, 2017, total loans, net of allowance for loan losses, were $3.2 billion. The following table presents the balance and associated percentage of each major category in our loan portfolio at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Gross loans increased $864.1 million to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase in loans was primarily due to $688.1 million of loans added from the Centrue acquisition. The remaining increase resulted from organic growth. The $1.8 million increase in PCI loans at June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 reflected the addition of $11.8 million of PCI loans from the Centrue acquisition, offset in part by three PCI loan payoffs in the first quarter of 2017.

Outstanding loan balances increased due to new loan originations, advances on outstanding commitments and loans acquired as a result of acquisitions of other financial institutions, net of amounts received for loan payments and payoffs, charge‑offs of loans and transfers of loans to OREO.

The principal categories of our loan portfolio are discussed below:

Commercial loans. We provide a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial loans. The loans are typically made to small‑ and medium‑sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital needs, business expansions and farm operations. Commercial loans generally include lines of credit and loans with maturities of five years or less. The loans are generally made with business operations as the primary source of repayment, but may also include collateralization by inventory, accounts receivable and equipment, and generally include personal guarantees.

Commercial loans increased $113.3 million to $571.1 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to $107.2 million of loans added from the Centrue acquisition. The remaining increase in commercial loans resulted from organic loan growth exceeding loan repayments.

Commercial real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $500.9 million to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to $473.2 million of loans added from the Centrue acquisition. The remaining increase in commercial loans was primarily driven by seven larger originations totaling $28.8 million, several larger construction loans totaling $28.0 million moved to permanent financing and the origination of two new LFC bridge loans totaling $15.2 million.  These increases were partially offset by seven larger payoffs totaling $31.2 million combined with the impact of repayments.

Construction and land development loans. Our construction and land development loans are comprised of residential construction, commercial construction and land acquisition and development loans.  Interest reserves are generally established on real estate construction loans.  As of June 30, 2017, our construction and land development loan

54


portfolio was divided amongst the following categories: $14.6 million residential construction; $136.3 million commercial construction; and $25.2 million land acquisition and development.

Construction and land development loans decreased $1.2 million to $176.1 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016.   The decrease in construction and land development loans was primarily due to repayments and transfers to permanent financing exceeding new originations and loans added from the Centrue acquisition of $28.2 million.

Residential real estate loans. Residential real estate loans increased $174.8 million to $428.5 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase was due in part to $76.5 million of loans added from the Centrue acquisition. The remaining increase in residential real estate loans was attributable to organic growth of residential real estate loans exceeding repayments. Origination volume in the first six months of 2017 benefited from $95.0 million in new residential real estate loans from the doctor lending program first implemented in April 2016.

Included within residential real estate loans were home equity loans which increased $34.6 million to $95.0 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase primarily reflected the impact of home equity loans added from the Centrue acquisition.

Consumer loans. Our consumer loans include direct personal loans, indirect automobile loans, lines of credit and installment loans originated through home improvement specialty retailers and contractors. Personal loans are generally secured by automobiles, boats and other types of personal property and are made on an installment basis.

Consumer loans increased $65.9 million to $335.9 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016.  This increase primarily reflected the purchase of $71.0 million of installment loans originated by other banks through home improvement specialty retailers and contractors in the first quarter of 2017, offset in part by repayments exceeding new origination volume and the addition of $3.0 million of consumer loans from Centrue.

Lease financing. Business Credit, our custom leasing subsidiary located in Denver, Colorado, provides indirect financing leases to varying types of small businesses for purchases of business equipment and software. All indirect financing leases require monthly payments, and the weighted average maturity of our leases is less than four years. Lease financing receivables increased $10.5 million, or 5.5%, to $202.0 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016 as continued growth in new lease volume exceeded repayments.

Loan Quality

We use what we believe is a comprehensive methodology to monitor credit quality and prudently manage credit concentration within our loan portfolio. Our underwriting policies and practices govern the risk profile and credit and geographic concentration for our loan portfolio. We also have what we believe to be a comprehensive methodology to monitor these credit quality standards, including a risk classification system that identifies potential problem loans based on risk characteristics by loan type as well as the early identification of deterioration at the individual loan level. In addition to our allowance for loan losses, our purchase discounts on acquired loans provide additional protections against credit losses .

Discounts on PCI Loans. PCI loans are loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that we will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. These loans are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had PCI loans totaling $30.0 million and $28.3 million, respectively.

In determining the fair value of purchased credit‑impaired loans at acquisition, we first determine the contractually required payments due, which represent the total undiscounted amount of all uncollected principal and interest payments, adjusted for the effect of estimated prepayments. We then estimate the undiscounted cash flows we expect to collect. We incorporate several key assumptions to estimate cash flows expected to be collected, including probability of default rates, loss given default assumptions and the amount and timing of prepayments. We calculate fair value by discounting the estimated cash flows we expect to collect using an observable market rate of interest, when available, adjusted for factors that a market participant would consider in determining fair value. We have aggregated

55


certain credit‑impaired loans acquired in the same transaction into pools based on common risk characteristics. A pool is accounted for as one asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate fair value and expected cash flows.

The difference between contractually required payments due and the cash flows expected to be collected, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference, which is neither accreted into income nor recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, reflects estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loans. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the estimated fair value of PCI loans is referred to as the accretable yield. This amount is not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, but is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans, or pool of loans, using the effective yield method. The outstanding customer balance for PCI loans totaled $45.4 million and $34.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Subsequent to acquisition, we periodically evaluate our estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. These evaluations, performed quarterly, require the continued use of key assumptions and estimates, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. Subsequent changes in the estimated cash flows expected to be collected may result in changes in the accretable yield and nonaccretable difference or reclassifications between accretable yield and the nonaccretable difference. Decreases in expected cash flows due to further credit deterioration will result in an impairment charge to the provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses and a reclassification from accretable yield to nonaccretable difference. Increases in expected cash flows due to credit improvements will result in an increase in the accretable yield through a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference or as a reduction in the allowance for loan losses to the extent established on specific pools subsequent to acquisition. The adjusted accretable yield is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans .

The following table shows changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

As of June 30, 2017, the balance of accretable discounts on our PCI loan portfolio was $15.7 million compared to $9.0 million at December 31, 2016. We may not accrete the full amount of these discounts into interest income in future periods if the assets to which these discounts are applied do not perform according to our current expectations.

We have also recorded accretable discounts in purchase accounting for loans that are not considered PCI loans. Similar to the way in which we employ the fair value methodology for PCI loans, we consider expected prepayments and estimate the amount and timing of undiscounted cash flows in order to determine the accretable discount for non-PCI loans .

Represents the percentage of the allowance to total loans in the respective category.

The allowance and the balance of nonaccretable discounts represent our estimate of probable and reasonably estimable credit losses inherent in loans held for investment as of the respective balance sheet date. We assess the appropriateness of our allowance for non-PCI loans separately from our allowance for PCI loans .

The allowance for loan losses was $15.4 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $14.9 million at December 31, 2016. The $0.6 million increase at June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 was mainly attributable to the first six months of 2017 reflecting a $2.0 million provision for loan losses due primarily to loan growth, offset in part by net charge-offs of $1.4 million.

Individual loans considered to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance. Factors used in determining the amount and timing of charge-offs on loans include consideration of the loan type, length of delinquency, sufficiency of collateral value, lien priority and the overall financial condition of the borrower. Collateral value is determined using updated appraisals and/or other market comparable information. Charge-offs are generally taken on loans once the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. Net charge-offs to average loans were 0.12% and 0.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

Allowance for non‑PCI loans. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for non-PCI loans includes a general allowance for performing loans, which are grouped based on similar characteristics, and a specific allowance for individual impaired loans or loans considered by management to be in a high risk category. General allowances are established based on a number of factors, including historical loss rates, an assessment of portfolio trends and conditions, accrual status and economic conditions.

For commercial and commercial real estate loans, a specific allowance may be assigned to individual loans based on an impairment analysis. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is based on an analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows and the estimated market value or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Interest income on impaired loans is accrued as earned, unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status .

Allowance for PCI loans. PCI loans are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, with the estimated fair value including a component for estimated credit losses. An allowance related to PCI loans may be recorded subsequent to acquisition if a PCI loan pool experiences a decrease in expected cash flows as compared to the expected cash flows projected in the previous quarter. Loans considered to be uncollectible are initially charged off against the specific loan pool’s non‑accretable difference. When the pool’s non‑accretable difference has been fully utilized, uncollectible amounts are charged off against the corresponding allowance. The following table shows our allowance by loan portfolio and by non‑PCI and PCI loans as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Provision for Loan Losses. In determining the allowance and the related provision for loan losses, we consider three principal elements: (i) valuation allowances based upon probable losses identified during the review of impaired commercial, commercial real estate, and construction and land development loans, (ii) allocations, by loan classes, on loan portfolios based on historical loan loss experience and qualitative factors, and (iii) valuation allowances on PCI loan pools based on decreases in expected cash flows. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to adjust the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by us .

Impaired Loans. The following table sets forth our nonperforming assets by asset categories as of the dates indicated. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings. The balances of impaired loans reflect the net investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts . PCI loans are excluded from nonperforming status because we expect to fully collect their new carrying values, which reflect significant purchase discounts. If our expectation of reasonably estimable future cash flows from PCI loans deteriorates, the loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income will not be recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated .

The decrease in nonperforming loans at June 30, 2017 was primarily due to certain commercial loans that had been due 90 days or more being brought current coupled with a decline in nonperforming leases .

We did not recognize any interest income on nonaccrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 while the loans were in nonaccrual status. Additional interest income that we would have recognized on these loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was $0.4 million and $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. We recognized interest income on commercial and commercial real estate loans modified under troubled debt restructurings of $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

We use a ten grade risk rating system to categorize and determine the credit risk of our loans. Potential problem loans include loans with a risk grade of 7, which are "special mention," and loans with a risk grade of 8, which are "substandard" loans that are not considered to be impaired. These loans generally require more frequent loan officer contact and receipt of financial data to closely monitor borrower performance. Potential problem loans are managed and monitored regularly through a number of processes, procedures and committees, including oversight by a loan administration committee comprised of executive officers and other members of the Bank's senior management team .

Weighted average yield for tax‑exempt securities are presented on a tax‑equivalent basis assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%.

Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities are recorded as either temporary impairment or OTTI. OTTI is recognized when the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than historical cost, and it is probable that all contractual cash flows will not be collected. OTTI is recorded as an offset to noninterest income and, therefore, results in a negative impact to our net income. An increase in the value of an OTTI security is not recorded as a recovery but as additional interest income over the remaining life of the security . During the first six months of 2016, we recognized OTTI losses of $0.8 million due to changes in expected cash flows on three previously covered CMOs. We recorded no OTTI loses during the first six months of 2017. Early in the fourth quarter of 2016, all $72.1 million of previously covered CMOs were sold.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $143.6 million to $334.4 million as of June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase was due to cash flows from financing activities of $275.4 million combined with cash flows provided by operating activities of $51.6 million. These increases were offset in part by cash flows used in investing activities of $183.3 million. Cash flows from financing activities primarily consisted of deposit growth totaling $186.8 million, repurchase agreements increased $24.6 million, FHLB advances increased $27.5 million, and proceeds from a term loan totaling $40.0 million. Cash provided by operating activities primarily reflected $12.0 million of net income and $38.4 million of proceeds received from sales of loans held for sale that exceeded originations. Cash used in investing activities primarily reflected loan growth.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill was $96.9 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $48.8 million at December 31, 2016. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid in an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The $48.1 million increase during the first six months of 2017 resulted from $45.9 million of goodwill associated with the Centrue acquisition and $2.2 million of goodwill from the CedarPoint acquisition.

Our other intangible assets, which consist of core deposit and trust relationship intangibles, were $18.5 million and $7.2 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in other intangibles primarily reflected the impact of a $10.4 million core deposit intangible associated with the Centrue acquisition and a $2.0 million trust relationship intangible from the CedarPoint acquisition, offset in part by $1.1 million of intangible amortization expense recorded during the first six months of 2017. These assets are amortized primarily on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives, generally over a period of three to 10 years.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $1.1 billion to $4.0 billion at June 30, 2017 due primarily to the Centrue acquisition.

Deposits. We emphasize developing total client relationships with our customers in order to increase our retail and commercial core deposit bases, which are our primary funding sources. Our deposits consist of noninterest‑bearing and interest‑bearing demand, savings and time deposit accounts.

Total deposits increased $928.7 million to $3.3 billion at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase primarily resulted from $741.8 million of deposits added from the Centrue acquisition. The remaining increase in deposits was primarily driven by deposit growth coupled with the impact of a $63.9 million commercial FHA loan payoff received in June 2017 that was remitted to Ginnie Mae in July 2017. At June 30, 2017, total deposits were comprised of 23.4% noninterest‑bearing demand accounts, 51.4% interest‑bearing transaction accounts and 25.2% of time deposits. At June 30, 2017, brokered deposits totaled $325.5 million, or 9.8% of total deposits, compared to $218.7 million, or 9.1% of total deposits, at December 31, 2016.

Short‑Term Borrowings. In addition to deposits, we use short‑term borrowings, such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as a source of funds to meet the daily liquidity needs of our customers and fund growth in earning assets. Short‑term borrowings were $170.6 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $131.6 million at December 31, 2016. This $39.1 million increase resulted from $14.4 million of short-term borrowings added from the Centrue acquisition combined with an increase in short-term borrowings at the Bank. The weighted average interest rate on our short‑term borrowings was 0.22% and 0.21% at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings. FHLB advances and other borrowings totaled $400.3 million and $237.5 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. During the first six months of 2017, we added a mix of both short-term and long-term FHLB advances of $177.4 million combined with the $95.2 million of FHLB advances from the Centrue acquisition. After repayments of $149.9 million, FHLB advances as of June 30, 2017 totaled $360.2 million.

On May 25, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement with another bank for a revolving line of credit in the original principal amount of up to $10.0 million and a term loan in the original principal amount of $40.0 million.  The revolving line of credit matures on May 24, 2018 and pays a variable rate of interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.00%. There were no advances made against the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2017.  The term loan matures on May 25, 2020 and pays a variable rate of interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. Beginning September 1, 2017, the Company will be required to make quarterly principal and interest payments on the term loan of $1.4 million with the remaining principal and any unpaid interest due at maturity. The loan agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio, a minimum

63


adjusted loan loss reserves to nonperforming loans ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum percentage of nonperforming assets to tangible capital.

In conjunction with the Centrue acquisition, the Company assumed 181 shares of Centrue Series B mandatory redeemable preferred stock by issuing an equal number of shares of Series G preferred stock. The Series G preferred shares, which pay dividends of 6.0%, were recorded at a fair value of $0.2 million .

Subordinated Debt. Subordinated debt totaled $54.6 million and $54.5 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In June 2016, using proceeds from our initial public offering, we repaid $8.0 million of subordinated notes with a June 2021 maturity date and incurred other noninterest expense of $0.5 million for the write-off of the remaining unamortized discount that was established when the subordinated notes were issued.

Trust Preferred Debentures. Trust preferred debentures totaled $45.2 million and $37.4 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in trust preferred debentures at June 30, 2017 resulted from $10.0 million of trust preferred debentures that were assumed by us in the Centrue acquisition and recorded at an acquisition date fair value of $7.6 million. The junior subordinated debentures from the Centrue transaction are unsecured with interest payable quarterly based on an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.65%. These debentures mature on April 22, 2034.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources. Shareholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, issuances and redemptions of common stock and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income caused primarily by fluctuations in unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available‑for‑sale investment securities.

Shareholders’ equity increased $130.2 million to $452.0 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. The increase in shareholders’ equity was due primarily to $112.5 million of common equity and $3.1 million of preferred equity issued for the Centrue acquisition. During the first six months of 2017, we generated net income of $12.0 million and declared dividends of $6.3 million to common shareholders. Shareholders’ equity was also impacted by the issuance of $3.4 million of common stock for the CedarPoint acquisition and $3.1 million of common stock activity related primarily to the exercise of stock options. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $1.7 million during the first six months of 2017.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Centrue, the Company issued 2,636 Series H preferred shares in exchange for an equal number of Centrue Series D non-cumulative, non-voting preferred stock, which Series H preferred shares were recorded upon issuance at a fair value of $3.1 million. Dividends are payable quarterly on the Series H preferred shares at a fixed rate of 12.5% per annum. The Company has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series H preferred shares at any time after July 29, 2019. Upon redemption, the Company would pay holders of Series H preferred shares $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

Liquidity Management. Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short‑term and long‑term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.

Integral to our liquidity management is the administration of short‑term borrowings. To the extent we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, we seek to meet our liquidity needs through wholesale funding or other borrowings on either a short‑ or long‑term basis.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $170.6 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $131.6 million at December 31, 2016.

64


As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $77.0 million and $30.0 million of unsecured federal funds lines, respectively, with no amounts advanced against the lines at either date. In addition, available lines of credit from the Federal Reserve Discount Window at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $109.4 million and $35.1 million, respectively. Federal Reserve Discount Window lines were collateralized by a pool of commercial real estate loans and construction loans totaling $168.6 million and $43.3 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We did not have any borrowings outstanding with the Federal Reserve at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, and our borrowing capacity is limited only by eligible collateral.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $360.2 million and $237.5 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB, respectively. Based on the values of stock, securities, and loans pledged as collateral, we had $513.3 million and $310.8 million of additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We also maintain relationships in the capital markets with brokers and dealers to issue certificates of deposit.

The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, must provide for its own liquidity. The Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to us by the Bank. There are statutory, regulatory and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short‑term cash obligations.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective action”, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off‑balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

The Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Basel III regulatory capital reforms (the “Basel III Rule”) have established capital standards for banks and bank holding companies. The table below summarizes the minimum capital requirements applicable to us under the Basel III Rule.

In addition to the minimum regulatory capital requirements set forth in the table above, the Basel III Rule implemented a “capital conservation buffer” that is added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes. A banking organization that fails to meet the required amount of the capital conservation buffer will be subject to limits on capital distributions (e.g., dividends, stock buybacks, etc.) and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. For community banks, the capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in over a three-year period beginning on January 1, 2016. The capital conservation buffer in 2016 was 0.625%, is 1.25% in 2017 and will increase by 0.625% on January 1 of each subsequent year until fully phased in at 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

At June 30, 2017, Midland States Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under the Basel III Rule and were considered to be “well‑capitalized” with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.56%, a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.07%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.07% and a total capital ratio of 11.61%.

We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. We expect to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. We have in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short‑term and long‑term liquidity needs.

Quantita tive and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk. Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur market risk in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, equity prices, and credit spreads. We have identified two primary sources of market risk: interest rate risk and price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Overview. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities (reprice risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR (basis risk).

Our board of directors’ Asset‑Liability Committee (“ALCO”) establishes broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. ALCO establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the board of directors’ policies. In general, we seek to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Our ALCO meets quarterly to monitor the level of interest rate risk sensitivity to ensure compliance with the board of directors’ approved risk limits.

Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.

An asset sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short‑term interest rates is expected to generate higher net interest income, as rates earned on our interest‑earning assets would reprice upward more quickly than rates paid on our interest‑bearing liabilities, thus expanding our net interest margin. Conversely, a liability sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short‑term interest rates is expected to generate lower net interest income, as rates paid on our interest‑bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly than rates earned on our interest‑earning assets, thus compressing our net interest margin.

Income Simulation and Economic Value Analysis. Interest rate risk measurement is calculated and reported to the ALCO at least quarterly. The information reported includes period‑end results and identifies any policy limits

66


exceeded, along with an assessment of the policy limit breach and the action plan and timeline for resolution, mitigation, or assumption of the risk.

We use two approaches to model interest rate risk: Net Interest Income at Risk (“NII at Risk”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). Under NII at Risk, net interest income is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets, liabilities, and derivatives. EVE measures the period end market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. EVE is a period end measurement.

The following table shows NII at Risk at the dates indicated:

We report NII at Risk to isolate the change in income related solely to interest earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities. The NII at Risk results included in the table above reflect the analysis used quarterly by management. It models immediate −50, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates. Due to the current low level of short‑term interest rates, the analysis reflects a declining interest rate scenario of 50 basis points, the point at which many assets and liabilities reach zero percent.

We are within board policy limits for the +100 and +200 basis point scenarios. There is no policy limit for the −50 basis point scenario. The NII at Risk reported at June 30, 2017, projects that our earnings exhibit decreased sensitivity to changes in interest rates compared to December 31, 2016.

The EVE results included in the table above reflect the analysis used quarterly by management. It models immediate −50, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates. Due to the current low level of short‑term interest rates, the analysis reflects a declining interest rate scenario of 50 basis points, the point at which many assets and liabilities reach zero percent.

We are within board policy limits for the +100 and +200 basis point scenarios. There is no policy limit for the −50 basis point scenario. The EVE reported at June 30, 2017 projects that as interest rates increase, the economic value of equity position will increase, and as interest rates decrease, the economic value of equity position will decrease. When interest rates rise, fixed rate assets generally lose economic value; the longer the duration, the greater the value lost. The opposite is true when interest rates fall.

Pri ce Risk. Price risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and subject to fair value accounting. We have price risk from equity investments and investments in securities backed by mortgage loans .

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are included under “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” appearing on pages 66 through 67 of this report.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are named or threatened to be named as a defendant in various lawsuits, none of which we expect to have a material effect on the Company. However, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk. Except as described below, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

Centrue, the Company, Sentinel Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and the individual members of the Centrue board of directors have been named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit filed by an alleged shareholder of Centrue in the Circuit Court of LaSalle County, Illinois: Rader v. Battles, et al., Case No. 17L16 (filed February 3, 2017). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the directors of Centrue breached their fiduciary duties in connection with entering into the merger agreement and that Centrue, the Company and Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged fiduciary breaches. Plaintiff claims, among other things, that Centrue’s board of directors failed to ensure that Centrue’s shareholders would receive maximum value for their shares, utilized preclusive corporate and deal protection terms to inhibit an alternate transaction and failed to conduct an appropriate sale process, and that Centrue’s largest shareholder and its representative on Centrue’s board of directors exerted undue influence to force a sale of Centrue at an unfair price. The Complaint sought a variety of equitable and injunctive relief including, among other things, enjoining the consummation of the merger, directing the defendants to exercise their fiduciary duties to obtain a transaction that is in the best interests of Centrue shareholders and awarding plaintiff his costs and attorneys’ fees.

The plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint on May 4, 2017 and a Second Amended Complaint on July 13, 2017.  The Second Amended Complaint was filed after the completion of the Centrue acquisition and seeks monetary damages instead of equitable relief.

68


The defendants believe that the claims in this lawsuit are wholly without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. It is possible that other potential plaintiffs may file additional lawsuits challenging the merger.

The outcome of the pending and any additional future litigation is uncertain. If the case is not resolved, the lawsuit(s) could result in substantial costs to the Company, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers that are not covered by insurance. The defense or settlement of the lawsuit may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

Other than the following, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our ability to utilize Centrue’s deferred tax assets will be subject to limitations under applicable tax law, and the ultimate value of those deferred tax assets to us may not equal the value ascribed to them by us when negotiating the Centrue acquisition.

Prior to the completion of the Centrue acquisition, Centrue had substantial deferred tax assets that, under certain cases, can be used by us to offset future taxable income of the combined company. The ultimate value of those deferred tax assets to us will depend on several factors, including our ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the periods in which such deferred taxed assets may be utilized, future changes in our shareholder base, applicable income tax rates and limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which are expected to impose an annual limitation on the use of pre-acquisition net operating losses equal to the value of Centrue immediately prior to the acquisition, multiplied by the applicable “long-term tax-exempt rate.” We performed due diligence on Centrue’s deferred tax assets and, in consultation with its tax and accounting advisors, and based on a number of significant assumptions, including our future earnings levels and income tax rates, ascribed monetary value to those deferred tax assets when determining the aggregate merger consideration we were willing to pay in the transaction. To the extent we are unable to utilize Centrue’s deferred tax assets, on the timeline assumed by us, or at all, it may prevent us from achieving the financial results we anticipated, and it may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
