Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 5, 2024, F.N.B. Corporation, the parent company of First National Bank of Pennsylvania (the “Bank”), issued a press release announcing that Yadkin Bank (“Yadkin”) and its successor by merger, the Bank, reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the State of North Carolina to resolve their fair lending concerns, which the Bank disputes, related to the assessment of mortgage lending activities during a four-year period in the Winston-Salem and Charlotte, North Carolina markets that began prior to Yadkin’s merger with the Bank in March 2017. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Under the settlement, the Bank has agreed to provide $11.75 million in mortgage loan subsidies over a five-year period which is an extension of its existing, previously announced commitment to underserved communities, including the Winston-Salem and Charlotte markets.

The settlement includes no civil penalties levied against the Bank.

The information in this Current Report and the information included herein, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall be not deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The furnishing of the information under in this Current Report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain statements regarding F.N.B. Corporation’s outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, tax rates, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset quality levels, financial position and other matters regarding or affecting our current or future business and operations. These statements can be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve various assumptions, risks and uncertainties which can change over time. Actual results or future events may be different from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements and may not align with historical performance and events. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance upon such statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “goal,” and other similar words and expressions. We do not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws.

F.N.B. Corporation’s forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties:

 

   

Our business, financial results and balance sheet values are affected by business, economic and political circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the U.S. and global financial markets; (ii) supervision, regulation, enforcement and other actions by several governmental agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Financial Stability Oversight Council, DOJ, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S. Treasury Department, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Department of Housing and Urban Development, state attorney generals and other governmental agencies, whose actions may affect, among other things, our consumer and mortgage lending and deposit practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, annual FDIC insurance premium assessment and growth, money supply, market interest rates or otherwise affect business activities of the financial services industry; (iii) a slowing of the U.S. economy in general and regional and local economies within our market area; (iv) inflation concerns; (v) the impacts of tariffs or other trade policies of the U.S. or its global trading partners; and (vi) the sociopolitical environment in the U.S.

 

   

Business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through effective use of systems and controls, third-party insurance, derivatives, and capital management techniques, and to meet evolving regulatory capital and liquidity standards.

 

   

Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention, and on credit spreads, deposit gathering and product pricing, which can affect market share, loans, deposits and revenues. Our ability to anticipate, react quickly and continue to respond to technological changes and significant adverse industry and economic events can also impact our ability to respond to customer needs and meet competitive demands.


   

Business and operating results can also be affected by difficult to predict uncertainties, such as widespread natural and other disasters, pandemics, including post-pandemic return to normalcy, global events and geopolitical instability, including the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the emerging military conflict in Israel and Gaza, shortages of labor, supply chain disruptions and shipping delays, terrorist activities, system failures, security breaches, significant political events, cyber-attacks, international hostilities or other extraordinary events which are beyond F.N.B. Corporation’s control and may significantly impact the U.S. or global economy and financial markets generally, or us or our counterparties, customers or third-party vendors specifically.

 

   

Legal, regulatory and accounting developments could have an impact on our ability to operate and grow our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, competitive position, and reputation. Reputational impacts could affect matters such as business generation and retention, liquidity, funding, and the ability to attract and retain talent. These developments could include:

 

   

Policies and priorities of the current U.S. presidential administration, including legislative and regulatory reforms, more aggressive approaches to supervisory or enforcement priorities with consumer and anti-discrimination lending laws by the federal banking regulatory agencies and the DOJ, changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, regulatory obligations or restrictions, consumer protection, taxes, employee benefits, compensation practices, pension, bankruptcy and other industry aspects, and changes in accounting policies and principles.

 

   

Ability to continue to attract, develop and retain key talent.

 

   

Changes to regulations or accounting standards governing bank capital requirements, loan loss reserves and liquidity standards.

 

   

Changes in monetary and fiscal policies, including interest rate policies and strategies of the Federal Open Market Committee.

 

   

Unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or inquiries. These matters may result in monetary judgments or settlements, enforcement actions or other remedies, including fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, including financial and other type of commitments, and in additional expenses and collateral costs, and may cause reputational harm to FNB.

 

   

Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements imposed by the federal bank regulatory agencies or other governmental agencies.

 

   

Business and operating results are affected by our ability to effectively identify and manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through effective use of policies, processes, systems and controls, third-party insurance, derivatives, and capital and liquidity management techniques.

 

   

The impact on our financial condition, results of operations, financial disclosures and future business strategies related to the impact on the allowance for credit losses due to changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions as a result of applying the “current expected credit loss” accounting standard, or CECL.

 

   

A failure or disruption in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyber-attacks or campaigns.

 

   

Increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding.

F.N.B. Corporation cautions that the risks identified here are not exhaustive of the types of risks that may adversely impact F.N.B. Corporation and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk factors and other uncertainties described under Item 1A Risk Factors and the Risk Management sections of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our subsequent 2023 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including the risk factors and risk management discussions) and our other 2023 filings with the SEC, which are available on our corporate website at https://www.fnb-online.com/about-us/investor-information/reports-and-filings or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

First National Bank Announces Continued Commitment to Affordable Home Loan Programs for Minority Communities in North Carolina

Yadkin Bank and Successor Enter into Agreement with U.S. Department of Justice and State of North Carolina

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – FEBRUARY 5, 2024 – Yadkin Bank (Yadkin) and its successor by merger, First National Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank), today reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the State of North Carolina to resolve their fair lending allegations related to their assessment of mortgage lending activities in the Winston-Salem and Charlotte, NC, markets that began prior to Yadkin’s merger with First National Bank in March 2017.

The DOJ investigation encompassed both mortgage lending activity by Yadkin prior to the acquisition and First National Bank in the early years following its entry into the North Carolina markets. First National Bank is deeply disappointed that the government commenced an investigation after the Bank’s brief presence in the Charlotte and Winston-Salem markets, particularly when the Bank had established its commitment to offering affordable credit in minority communities immediately following the Yadkin acquisition.

First National Bank has developed and offered specialized loan products for more than a decade that expand access to credit for minority and low- to moderate-income borrowers. In addition, the Bank has and will continue to invest over $1 billion in loans and investments including grants and subsidies to strengthen marginalized communities throughout its footprint.

“We firmly assert First National Bank’s compliance with fair lending laws and strongly disagree with the DOJ’s allegations. We cooperated fully to reach an agreement in this inherited matter as a good faith effort to avoid prolonged litigation and to maintain our focus on promoting equity and economic prosperity,” said Jennifer M. Reel, Chief Communications Officer and spokesperson for First National Bank. “We are also proud to further advance our existing commitment to ensure minority and low- to moderate-income borrowers have access to credit and vital banking resources.”

The Bank will provide $11.75 million in mortgage loan subsidies over a five-year period, leveraging its previously announced commitment to underserved communities across the footprint, including those located in the Charlotte and Winston-Salem markets. The settlement does not include any civil money penalties against First National Bank.
