Lending Activities
Residential Real Estate Loans
The company originates 1-4 family, owner-occupied residential real estate loans at CCHL for sale in the secondary market. Historically, a vast majority of residential loan originations are fixed-rate loans which are sold in the secondary market on a non-recourse basis. The company will frequently sell loans and retain the servicing rights.
CCB also maintains a portfolio of residential loans held for investment and will periodically purchase newly originated 1-4family secured adjustable-rate loans from CCHL for that portfolio. Residential loans held for investment are generally underwritten in accordance with secondary market guidelines in effect at the time of origination, including loan-to-value, or LTV, and documentation requirements.
Residential real estate loans also include home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs, and home equity loans. The company's home equity portfolio includes revolving open-ended equity loans with interest-only or minimal monthly principal payments and closed-end amortizing loans. Open-ended equity loans typically have an interest only 10-year draw period followed by a five-year repayment period of 0.75% of principal balance monthly and balloon payment at maturity. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 48% of the company’s residential home equity loan portfolio consisted of first mortgages.
Commercial Loans
Commercial loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or other guarantees. The company has established debt service coverage ratio limits that require a borrower's cash flow to be sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt. The majority of the company's commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory. Many of the loans in the commercial portfolio have variable interest rates tied to the Prime Rate or U.S. Treasury indices.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
The company has adopted guidelines for debt service coverage ratios, LTV ratios and documentation standards for commercial real estate loans. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and personal guarantees. For loans secured by real property that fall beneath the applicable thresholds above, the company will generally use a third-party evaluation to assess the value of the real property used as security. The company’s policy establishes a maximum LTV specific to property type and minimum debt service coverage ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt. Commercial real estate loans may be fixed or variable-rate loans with interest rates tied to the Prime Rate or U.S. Treasury indices.
Consumer Loans
The company's consumer loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft lines of credit. The majority of the consumer loan portfolio consists of indirect and direct automobile loans.

Seasonality
The company's commercial banking operations are not generally seasonal in nature; however, public deposits tend to increase with tax collections in the fourth and first quarters of each year (year ended December 2024) and decline as a result of governmental spending thereafter.
Regulatory Considerations
The company is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) and have also elected to be a financial holding company. As a result, the company is subject to supervisory regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve. The BHC Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act (the GLBA), and other federal laws subject financial holding companies to restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.
The company's common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended so the company is subject to these rules.
Capital City Bank is a state-chartered commercial banking institution that is chartered by and headquartered in the state of Florida and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. The Florida Office of Financial Regulation supervises and regulates all areas of the company's operations, including without limitation, the making of loans, the issuance of securities, the conduct of the company's corporate affairs, the satisfaction of capital adequacy requirements, the payment of dividends, and the establishment or closing of banking centers. The company is also a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, which makes the company's operations subject to broad federal regulation and oversight by the Federal Reserve. In addition, the company's deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) up to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the FDIC has certain supervisory enforcement powers over the company.
The company's deposit accounts are insured by the DIF generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor.
Pursuant to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W, the authority of CCB to engage in transactions with related parties or 'affiliates' or to make loans to insiders is limited. Loan transactions with an affiliate generally must be collateralized and certain transactions between CCB and its affiliates, including the sale of assets, the payment of money or the provision of services, must be on terms and conditions that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to CCB, as those prevailing for comparable nonaffiliated transactions.
Section 22(g) identifies limited circumstances in which the company is permitted to extend credit to executive officers. The company received a satisfactory rating on its most recent CRA assessment.
In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ('CFPB') issues regulations and standards under these federal consumer protection laws that affect the company's consumer businesses. Also, the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure, or TRID, rules for mortgage closings have impacted the company's loan applications. These rules, including the required loan forms, generally increased the time it takes to approve mortgage loans.
