INSTITUTION RATING
INSTITUTION’S CRA RATING: This institution is rated Satisfactory.
An institution in this group has a satisfactory record of helping to meet the credit needs of its
assessment area, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, in a manner consistent with
its resources and capabilities.
The Lending Test is rated Satisfactory.
The loan-to-deposit ratio is reasonable (considering seasonal variations and taking into
account lending related activities) given the institution’s size, financial condition, and
assessment area credit needs.
A majority of loans are in the institution’s assessment areas.
The geographic distribution of loans reflects reasonable dispersion throughout the
assessment area.
The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the demographics of the assessment area,
reasonable penetration among individuals of different income levels (including low- and
moderate-income) and businesses and small farms of different sizes.
The bank did not receive any Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)-related complaints since
the previous evaluation. Therefore, this factor did not affect the Lending Test rating.
The Community Development Test is rated Satisfactory.
The institution’s community development performance demonstrates adequate responsiveness to
community development needs in its assessment areas through community development loans,
qualified investments, and community development services, as appropriate, considering the
institution’s capacity and the need and availability of such opportunities for community
development in the institution’s assessment areas. Adequate records regarding community
development loans, qualified investments, and community development services support this
conclusion.

DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION
Pilgrim Bank, headquartered in Pittsburg, Texas, began operations in 1911. Pilgrim Bancorporation
of Mount Pleasant, Texas, a one-bank holding company, wholly owns the bank. PBTX Holding,
Inc. of Mount Pleasant, Texas, a wholly owned subsidiary of the bank, serves to hold real estate and
other assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Pilgrim Bank received a Satisfactory
rating at its previous Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Performance Evaluation, dated
December 16, 2019, based on Intermediate Small Bank (ISB) Procedures.
Pilgrim Bank offers a broad array of financial products and services to Texas businesses,
consumers, farmers, and ranchers through 14 banking offices in North East, North Central, and the
Panhandle regions of Texas. While the bank increased commercial and residential lending activity
since the previous examination, Pilgrim Bank has primarily focused on agricultural lending. The
Description of Institution’s Operations sections depict the offices’ specific locations. While the
bank did not open offices since the previous evaluation, the bank closed a branch located in a
moderate-income area by merging the branch with another branch located in the same moderate-
income census tract of the Texas Non-Metropolitan Statistical Areas (Texas Non-MSA) Assessment
Area (AA) in February 2022. The bank did not experience any merger or acquisition activity since
the last evaluation. The bank has no affiliate relationships that affect this CRA evaluation.
The bank offers a variety of loan products including commercial, agricultural, home mortgage, and
consumer loans. It also provides a variety of deposit services including checking, savings, money
market deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit. Other alternative services include debit cards,
gift cards, automated teller machines (ATMs), drive-thru banking, wire transfers, safe deposit
boxes, telephone banking, internet banking, and mobile banking.
As of the September 30, 2022, Report of Income and Condition, the bank reported total assets of
$685.9 million, net loans of $432.4 million, and total deposits of $577.9 million. Since last CRA
evaluation, total assets increased by 23.4 percent, net loans increased 26.4 percent, and total
deposits increased 30.1 percent.
As seen in the following table, the mix of outstanding loans as of September 30, 2022, reflects a
similar distribution to that shown for originated loans under the Scope of Evaluation section.
Commercial loans (Secured by Nonfarm Nonresidential Properties and Commercial and Industrial)
represent the largest loan category of outstanding loans at 31.0 percent, followed by agricultural
loans (Secured by Farmland and Agricultural Production) at 28.3 percent, and residential loans
(Secured by 1-4 Family and Multi-Family Residential) at 26.4 percent.

Based on the information discussed in this section, as well as other regulatory data, the institution’s
financial condition, size, product offerings, prior performance, and status of any legal impediments
did not affect its ability to meet the AAs’ credit needs.

DESCRIPTION OF ASSESSMENT AREAS
The CRA requires each financial institution to define one or more AAs for which examiners will
evaluate its CRA performance. Pilgrim Bank designated five AAs: three non-contiguous Texas
Non-MSA areas, a portion of the Wichita Falls MSA, and a portion of the Fort Worth-Arlington
Metropolitan Division (Fort Worth MD). Given the similar economic and demographic profiles of
the Texas Non-MSA areas, examiners combined these for presentation purposes. The AAs
encompass 84 census tracts reflecting the following income designations as of the 2015 American
Community Survey (ACS) Census: 4 low-, 21 moderate-, 41 middle-, 17 upper-income tracts, and
1 tract with no income designation. The areas conform to CRA regulatory requirements. Refer to
the individual discussions of the AAs for more details.

SCOPE OF EVALUATION
General Information
This evaluation covers the period from December 16, 2019 to January 17, 2023, the date of the
previous evaluation to this evaluation’s date. To evaluate performance, examiners applied the
Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s (FFIEC) ISB CRA Examination Procedures,
which include the Lending Test and the Community Development Test. The Appendix lists each
tests’ criteria.
As seen in the table below, the Texas Non-MSA AA comprises the majority of lending, deposits,
and branches. Consequently, examiners performed full-scope procedures and weighed performance
more heavily in the Texas Non-MSA AA when arriving at overall conclusions and ratings.
Examiners also performed full-scope procedures on the Fort Worth MD AA since it was not
reviewed with full-scope procedures at either of the previous two CRA evaluations. Examiners
performed a limited-scope review on the Wichita Falls MSA AA.

Activities Reviewed
For the Lending Test, CRA ISB procedures require examiners to determine the bank’s major product
lines from which to review. As an initial matter, examiners may select from among the same loan
categories used for CRA Large Bank evaluations: home mortgage, small business, small farm, and
consumer loans.
Considering the bank’s overall lending strategy and the bank’s dollar volume and number of loans
originated during the evaluation period, examiners determined the bank’s major product lines include
commercial, home mortgage, and agricultural lending at 41.9, 23.3, and 19.0 percent of dollar volume,
respectively. Examiners will not review consumer lending as it does not represent a major product line
and would not materially affect any conclusions or ratings.
The following table shows the bank’s 2021 lending activity by loan category, which reflects a
generally consistent pattern with the bank’s lending emphasis since last evaluation.

Examiners identified a small business universe of 474 loans totaling $35.0 million, from the 506
commercial loan universe totaling $118.5 million, originated in 2021. After removing nine small
business loans identified by the bank as community development loans, examiners used all 465
small business loans totaling $32.7 million to arrive at applicable conclusions under the AA
6
concentration performance factor. Based on the 327 small business loans totaling $19.9 million
originated within the bank’s combined AA, examiners selected a random sample of 75 small
business loans totaling $5.0 million, to arrive at applicable conclusions for the borrower profile and
geographic distribution performance factors. Examiners based the sample on a 90 percent
confidence interval with a greater than 10 percent precision level. The 2021 D&B data provided a
standard of comparison for the sampled small business loans.
In addition, examiners identified a small farm universe of 256 loans totaling $14.4 million, from the
278 agricultural loan universe totaling $53.8 million, originated in 2021. Examiners used all 256
small farm loans totaling $14.4 million to arrive at applicable conclusions under the AA
concentration performance factor. Based on the 177 small farm loans totaling $11.0 million
originated within the bank’s combined AA, examiners selected a random sample of 51 small farm
loans totaling $3.4 million, to arrive at applicable conclusions for the borrower profile and
geographic distribution performance factors. Examiners based the sample on a 90 percent
confidence interval with a greater than 10 percent precision level. The 2021 D&B data provided a
standard of comparison for the sampled small farm loans.
Lastly, after removing 13 home mortgage loans identified by the bank as community development
loans, examiners used the remaining 226 home mortgage loans originated in 2021 totaling $64.9
million to arrive at applicable conclusions under the AA concentration performance factor. Based
on the 148 home mortgage loans totaling $24.9 million originated within the bank’s combined AA,
examiners selected a random sample of 47 home mortgage loans totaling $8.5 million, to arrive at
applicable conclusions for the borrower profile and geographic distribution performance factors.
Examiners compared home mortgage loans to the demographics of the institution’s AAs based on
the 2015 American Community Survey (ACS) data.
The following table shows that for the loan categories reviewed, considering both the dollar volume
and number percentages, while home mortgage loans account for a higher percentage by dollar
volume, small business loans account for the second highest dollar volume and the highest number
volume, and are derived from the bank’s largest product category, commercial lending.
Consequently, examiners determined small business lending would receive more weight when
arriving at applicable conclusions.

The performance evaluation presents information regarding the number and dollar volume of small
business, home mortgage, and small farm loans; however, for the Lending Test, examiners
7
emphasized performance by number of loans because the number of loans is a better indicator of the
number of families, farms, and businesses served.
Based on the bank’s overall loan origination activity, and lending concentrations by AA, examiners
will evaluate and present conclusions for small business lending within each AA. Given differences
in market economics and credit needs, examiners will only evaluate and present conclusions for
home mortgage lending in the Fort Worth MD AA. Additionally, examiners will only evaluate and
present conclusions for small farm lending in the Texas Non-MSA AA and Wichita Falls MSA AA.
In each AA, small business loans will also receive greater weight than the other products reviewed.
The scope for the Community Development Test considered all community development activities
since the previous FDIC Performance Evaluation dated December 16, 2019. The scope of this
evaluation further encompassed all prior period qualified investments, those purchased prior to the
evaluation, but still outstanding as of this evaluation’s date.
CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
LENDING TEST
Pilgrim Bank demonstrated a satisfactory record overall regarding the Lending Test. The
reasonable geographic distribution and borrower profile primarily supports this conclusion. The
bank also demonstrated a reasonable loan-to-deposit ratio and originated a majority of loans inside
the AAs.
Loan-to-Deposit Ratio
The loan-to-deposit (LTD) ratio is reasonable given the institution’s size, financial condition, and
AAs credit needs. The bank’s LTD ratio, calculated from Report of Condition and Income data,
averaged 74.0 percent over the past 12 calendar quarters since the prior evaluation, slightly higher
than the average, net LTD ratio of 71.4 percent reported at last evaluation. The bank’s quarterly net
LTD ratios ranged from a low of 67.2 percent on December 31, 2020, to a high of 78.0 percent on
March 31, 2020.
Examiners identified and listed, in the following table, three similarly-situated institutions operating
in the bank’s general area and reflecting similar asset sizes and lending emphases. As shown,
Pilgrim Bank’s ratio ranks third among all ratios of similarly-situated institutions. Specifically, the
bank’s ratio is 9.8 percentage points higher than the lowest ratio.

Assessment Area Concentration
The bank originated a majority of loans in the institution’s AAs. The majority of small business
and small farm loans originated inside the AA primarily supports this conclusion. Examiners
considered the bank’s asset size and office structure as well as the loan categories reviewed
relative to the combined size and economy of its AAs when arriving at this conclusion.
The following table shows Pilgrim Bank originated a majority of its small business, small farm,
and home mortgage loans inside its AAs by number volume. Although a majority of the bank’s
home mortgage loans1 were originated outside the assessment area by dollar volume, when
weighing both measures (number and dollar volume) equally, combined they show that the bank
originated a majority of its home mortgage loans inside its assessment area.

Geographic Distribution
The geographic distribution of loans reflects reasonable dispersion throughout the AAs for the
institution as a whole. Reasonable performance in the Texas Non-MSA AA coupled with
reasonable performance in the Fort Worth MD AA supports this conclusion. Examiners also noted
similar performance in the Wichita Falls MSA AA. Please see the AA review sections that follow
for more details about each individual AA.
1 Examiners identified 8 loans that comprise 46 percent of the total dollar volume of loans originated outside the AAs.
9
Borrower Profile
The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the demographics of the AAs, reasonable penetration
among farms and businesses of different sizes, and individuals of difference income levels for the
institution as a whole. Reasonable performances in the Texas Non-MSA AA and Fort Worth MD
AA primarily support this conclusion. Examiners also noted similar performance in the Wichita
Falls MSA AA. Please see the AA review sections that follow for more details about each
individual AA.
In response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act,
signed into law on March 27, 2020, established the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP
provides loans to qualified businesses to retain employees through the COVID-19 pandemic, which
includes loan forgiveness subject to certain conditions. Participation in the PPP during the
evaluation period reflects the bank’s willingness to meet the credit needs of businesses of different
sizes, including small businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Examiners noted the
bank was particularly responsive to the needs of businesses in the AAs during the COVID-19
pandemic through their participation in the PPP, which allowed businesses to keep their workforce
employed during the state of emergency. Pilgrim Bank originated approximately 521 loans, totaling
approximately $23.7 million during the evaluation period.
Response to Complaints
The bank did not receive any CRA-related complaints since the previous evaluation; therefore, this
performance factor did not affect the Lending Test rating.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEST
The institution’s community development performance demonstrates adequate responsiveness to
community development needs in its AAs through community development loans, qualified
investments, and community development services, as appropriate, considering the institution’s
capacity and the need and availability of such opportunities for community development in the
institution’s AAs. An overall adequate level of community development loans, qualified
investments, and community development services primarily supports this conclusion.
Community Development Loans
The bank exhibited an adequate record regarding its community development loans. Adequate
performance regarding the dollar volume of community development loans along with adequate
responsiveness to the AAs needs primarily support this conclusion. Examiners evaluated the
number and dollar volume of community development loans relative to the considerations noted for
the Community Development Test when arriving at this conclusion.
The following table shows that since the prior evaluation, the bank granted 46 community
development loans totaling approximately $8.3 million. This level equates to 1.4 percent of average
total assets of $608.7 million and 2.2 percent of average net loans of $378.2 million since the last
10
evaluation. These levels reflect a decrease from the 2.7 percent of average total assets and 4.6
percent of average net loans reported in the prior evaluation.
The following table illustrates the bank’s community development loans by purpose and year. As
shown, the majority of community development loans, 26.6 percent, benefitted efforts to revitalize
or stabilize communities, which supports an identified community development need and illustrates
the bank’s adequate responsiveness to those needs.

Refer to the review of each AA for more details on community development lending activities
specific to individual areas.
Qualified Investments
Pilgrim Bank displayed an adequate record regarding its qualified investments. Adequate levels
regarding the dollar volume of qualified investments primarily supports this conclusion. Examiners
evaluated the number and dollar volume of qualified investments along with their responsiveness to
the needs of the AAs relative to the considerations noted for the Community Development Test
when arriving at this conclusion.
The following table shows that the bank made use of 20 qualified investments totaling
approximately $20.0 million, as well as 66 grants and donations totaling $210 thousand. This level
equates to 3.3 percent of average total assets of $608.7 million and 12.3 percent of average total
11
securities of $164.4 million since the prior evaluation. While these levels reflect a decrease of 0.6
percent of average total assets and 0.3 percent of average securities recorded at prior evaluation,
they illustrate an increase in investments within the designated AAs. However, the table shows the
bank invested the majority of the dollar volume within the greater regional area and not within the
AAs.

The following points provide examples of the bank’s qualified investments.
Economic Development: The bank invested $4.1 million in two CRA Qualified Investment
Funds that assisted in funding loans to the Small Business Administration (SBA). T
hus, the
fund promotes economic development by financing entities that meets the size
eligibility standards of the regulation and by supporting permanent job creation and
retention.
Community Service: The bank invested $18.4 million in school district bonds throughout
the state of Texas, where the majority of the students are economically disadvantaged and
receive free and reduced lunches. Thus, the bonds qualify or benefit organizations that
12
provides community services in the form of educational services, targeted to low- and
moderate-income individuals. The school districts use the funds for the construction,
renovation, and purchase of new buildings and school buses.
Refer to the review of each AA for more details on qualified investment activities specific to
individual areas.
Community Development Services
The bank established an adequate record of providing community development services. Adequate
performances regarding the types of services and the bank’s responsiveness to community
development needs primarily supports this conclusion. Examiners evaluated the types and
availability of services relative to the considerations noted for the Community Development Test
when arriving at this conclusion.
The bank showed adequate performance regarding the type of services that primarily benefit low-
and moderate-income individuals. An adequate number of community development services
supports this conclusion.
The following table shows that the bank provided 122 community development services, which on
average equates to 2.6 community development services per office, per year since the previous
evaluation, and is reflective of adequate performance. The level reflects a decrease from the 2.9
community development services per office, per year reported at the prior evaluation.

The bank’s availability of services to low- and moderate-income individuals further supports the
adequate conclusion. The following table illustrates the bank’s branching and ATM distributions
during the review period. As shown, the bank does not operate any branches or ATMs in low-
income census tracts. However, the four low-income census tracts found within the bank’s
assessments areas contain only 2.5 percent of the AAs’ total population. The bank holds 35.7
percent of its branches in moderate-income census tracts, which is 12.7 percentage points higher
than the population percentage. Also noted, the bank closed one branch located in a moderate-
income census tract, which merged with another branch located in the same moderate-income
census tract; the ATM of the closed branch remains open to serve the area. Given this context, little
weight was placed on this branch closure.

Besides its office locations, the bank provides other alternative delivery systems that help avail the
bank’s services to low- and moderate-income individuals. The previous table shows a similar
distribution of ATMs as that shown for office locations. In addition to its ATMs, the bank provides
other alternative banking services such as internet and mobile banking that include electronic bill
pay. These alternative delivery systems help avail the bank’s services to low- and moderate-income
individuals across the AAs.
Further, Pilgrim Bank demonstrated their commitment to meeting the needs of borrowers affected
by the COVID-19 emergency. The Bank took several steps to be responsive to the needs of
customers that include participation in the PPP loan program, suspension of excess withdrawal fees
for savings and money market accounts, implementation of free mobile deposit, and provision of
loan payment deferrals and modifications. From 2020 to 2021, the bank made 72 deferments for
14
borrowers located within the combined AAs affected by the pandemic, 23 of which were located in
low- or moderate-income geographies.
DISCRIMINATORY OR OTHER ILLEGAL CREDIT PRACTICES REVIEW
Examiners reviewed the bank’s compliance with the laws relating to discrimination and other illegal
credit practices, including the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Examiners
did not identify any evidence of discriminatory or other illegal credit practices.

TEXAS NON MSA AA Full-Scope Review
DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION’S OPERATIONS IN TEXAS NON-MSA
AA
The Texas Non-MSA AA includes the following eight counties: Camp, Collingsworth, Donley,
Franklin, Hopkins, Morris, Titus, and Wilbarger. Wilbarger County is contiguous to the bank’s
Wichita Falls MSA AA while Donley and Collingsworth Counties are located in the Panhandle
region of Texas, which is approximately 30 miles northwest of the Wichita Falls MSA. The
remaining five counties in the Non-MSA AA are located in the North East region of Texas, which is
approximately 100 miles east of the Fort Worth MD AA.
In 2019 and 2020, three census tracts in Morris County (9501.00/9502.00/9503.00) and two in
Camp County (9501.01/9501.02) were distressed due to poverty, population loss, and/or
unemployment. In 2021, three census tracts in Morris County (9501.00/9502.00/9503.00) were
distressed due to poverty, population loss, and/or unemployment. In 2022, two tracts in Morris
County (9501.00/9502.00) were distressed due to poverty, population loss, and/or unemployment.
Between 2019 and 2022, two census tracts in Donley County (9502.00/9503.00) and one census
tract in Collingsworth County (9503.00) received an underserved designation.
As seen in the following table, the bank operates seven full-service offices in this AA, as well as
eight ATMs, one at each office location (except the main office) as well as two stand-alone ATMs
in Pittsburg. In February 2022, the bank merged the 102 North Greer Boulevard branch with the
145 East Marshall location in Pittsburg, Texas; both offices were located in the same moderate-
income census tract. The bank did not open or close any other locations in this AA during the
review period.

moderate-, 23 middle-, and 3 upper-income tracts. Of the eight counties in this AA, six counties
(Camp, Collingsworth, Donley, Hopkins, Morris, and Titus) include middle-income census tracts
that received distressed or underserved designations.
The area’s major employers include Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, Priefert Manufacturing, Big Tex
Trailers, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., as well as various independent school districts, hospitals, and
community colleges. Service industries represent the largest portion of the area’s businesses at 35.9
percent, followed by retail trade at 14.1 percent, and finance, insurance, and real estate at 8.9
percent. About 66.5 percent of the businesses hire four or fewer employees. The following table

As illustrated in the table below and based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data,
unemployment rates in the State of Texas and Nation more than doubled from 2019 to 2020. While
all county areas of the Texas Non-MSA AA experienced significant increase in unemployment
during the same period, rates for five of eight counties in the Texas Non-MSA AA were lower than
both the state and national average in 2021. Although unemployment rates decreased from 2020 to
2021, the percentage of families living below the poverty level at 15.6 percent is higher than the
statewide average of 14.9 percent.

Competition
The area contains a moderate level of competition from other chartered banks, with 54 offices
representing 20 institutions. Pilgrim Bank ranks 4th in deposit market share by capturing 10.3
percent of the area’s deposits, as of June 30, 2022, based on FDIC Deposit Market Share report.
Community Contacts
As a part of the evaluation process, examiners contact third parties active in the AA to assist in
identifying the credit and community development needs. This information helps determine
whether local financial institutions are responsive to those needs. It also shows what credit and
community development opportunities are available.
Examiners utilized a new community contact to help assess the area’s current economic conditions,
community credit needs, and potential opportunities for bank involvement. The contact noted that
the area’s economic conditions are improving and local institutions are meeting credit needs.
Overall, the contact felt that financial institutions have been responsive to the credit and community
development needs of the area.
The contact noted that the area experienced an influx of new businesses over the past few years,
which increased the area’s sales tax revenue. The contact also indicated that new home
developments have decreased slightly after years of significant growth given rising interest rates.
However, the contact stated that homebuilders are working on several projects to attract new
residents to the area. The contact also stated that the area benefitted from strong competition and
strong local banks.
18
Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities
Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and
economic data, examiners determined that small farm and small business lending present primary
credit needs of the AA. The significant percentage of businesses and farms with gross annual
revenues of $1 million or less supports this conclusion. In addition, given the number of moderate-
income and distressed or underserved middle-income census tracts, activities that revitalize and
stabilize as well as economic development activities represent the primary community development
needs.
CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN TEXAS NON-MSA AA
LENDING TEST
Within the Texas Non-MSA AA, the bank displayed a reasonable record regarding the Lending
Test. An excellent record regarding geographic distribution did not sufficiently uplift a reasonable
borrower profile to support this conclusion.
Geographic Distribution
The geographic distribution of lending reflects excellent dispersion throughout the Texas Non-MSA
AA. The excellent performance regarding small business lending sufficiently uplifts the reasonable
record regarding small farm to support this conclusion. The bank does not have any low-income
tracts in the Texas Non-MSA AA; therefore, examiners only considered the bank’s level of lending
within moderate-income census tracts when arriving at conclusions.
Small Business Loans
The geographic distribution of small business loans in the Texas Non-MSA AA reflects excellent
performance. The following table shows that in moderate-income census tracts, the bank’s
percentage of the number of loans exceeds the D&B level by 10.8 percentage points.

Borrower Profile
The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the demographics of the Texas Non-MSA AA,
reasonable penetration among businesses and farms of different sizes. Reasonable performance
regarding small business and small farm lending support this conclusion.
Small Business Loans
The distribution of borrowers, in the Texas Non-MSA AA, reflects reasonable performance among
businesses of different sizes. A reasonable record to businesses with gross annual revenues of $1
million or less primarily supports this conclusion.
The following table shows that to businesses reporting gross annual revenues of $1 million or less, the
bank’s level of lending by number lands 3.4 percentage points above the D&B data, reflecting
reasonable performance.

Small Farm Loans
The distribution of borrowers reflects reasonable performance among small farms of different sizes
in the Texas Non-MSA AA. A reasonable record of lending to entities with gross annual revenues
of $1 million or less primarily supports this conclusion. Examiners focused on the bank’s overall
level to small farms with gross annual revenues of $1 million or less when arriving at this
conclusion.
The following table shows that the bank originated 85.0 percent of its small farm loans, by number,
to small farms with gross annual revenues of $1 million or less. Although this record is lower than
the D&B, the bank granted more than eight of every ten loans to small farms, reflecting a
reasonable level of performance.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEST
Pilgrim Bank demonstrates adequate responsiveness to the community development needs through
community development loans, qualified investments, and community development services, as
appropriate, considering the institution’s capacity and the need and availability of such
opportunities for community development in the AA.
Community Development Loans
The community development loan performance for the Texas Non-MSA AA proved consistent with
that noted previously for the bank as a whole. As detailed in the following table, during the review
period, Pilgrim Bank originated 37 community development loans totaling approximately $4.1 million.
This dollar volume equates to 49.9 percent of the bank’s total level of community development loans,
as compared to other activity levels associated with this area, which originates 83.3 percent of loans,
generates 64.4 percent of deposits, and operates 50.0 percent of offices. This level of activity
represents a significant decrease in dollar volume from the prior evaluation when it was $10.4 million
in the Texas Non-MSA AA.
Based on the overall level of community development lending, the bank exhibited adequate
responsiveness to the needs of the Texas Non-MSA AA community through its community
development lending. The community development loans primarily served to provide affordable
housing, but were made for all community development categories, reflecting responsiveness in
addressing identified community development needs. The current level reflects reasonable
performance relative to the considerations noted for the Community Development Test.
The following table illustrates the community development loans by year and purpose in the Texas
Non-MSA AA.

The following lists a notable example of a community development loan in the Texas Non-MSA
AA:
Revitalize or Stabilize: Pilgrim Bank originated eight loans totaling $1.2 million to finance
the purchase and renovation of existing buildings and businesses located in moderate-
income areas. This activity revitalized and stabilized a qualifying geography by helping to
22
attract new or retain existing businesses or residents.
Qualified Investments
The qualified investments performance for the Texas Non-MSA AA proved inconsistent with the
record noted previously for the bank as a whole. As detailed in the following table, Pilgrim Bank made
use of 45 qualified investments and donations totaling approximately $1.8 million within the Texas
Non-MSA AA. This is a decrease by number since the prior evaluation where the banked granted 67
qualified investments. By dollar, it is a significant increase as the bank reported $80,000 in the Texas
Non-MSA AA at the previous performance evaluation. However, this level of qualified investment
activity equates to 8.7 percent of total dollar volume of the adequate level of qualified investments
bank-wide. As noted, the Texas Non-MSA AA contributed 64.4 percent of the bank’s deposits.

The following lists an example of a qualified donation in the Texas Non-MSA AA:
Community Service: Since the previous evaluation, the bank invested $1.6 million in a
school bond to design, construct, equip, acquire and renovate school facilities, where the
majority of students qualify for free or reduced-priced meals. Thus, this activity benefits an
organization that provides community services, in the form of financial educational services,
targeted to low- and moderate-income individuals.
Community Development Services
The community development services performance for the Texas Non-MSA AA proved consistent with
that noted previously for the bank as a whole. As detailed in the following table, Pilgrim Bank
provided 89 instances of financial expertise to community development related organizations in the
Texas Non-MSA AA during the evaluation period. These figures reflect an increase from the 79
community development services recorded at the prior evaluation in the Texas Non-MSA AA.
23
The bank exhibited an adequate responsiveness to the needs of the Texas Non-MSA AA through its
community development services. The number of community development services in this area
equates to 73.0 percent of the total community development services. The community development
services primarily provided for community services targeted to low- and moderate-income individuals,
but the bank provided for community development services in three of four community development
categories.

The following is an example of a community development service in the Texas Non-MSA AA:
Community Service: Eight bank employees used their financial expertise as a board member
of local independent school districts to counsel and execute general board duties expected of
a community service organization. A majority of students in these schools qualify for free
or reduced-priced meals under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch
Program, thus providing benefit to low- and moderate-income students. Thus, this activity
provides community services, in the form of financial educational services, targeted to low-
and moderate-income individuals.
Pilgrim Bank operates three of its seven offices, each containing an ATM, in moderate-income census
tracts within the Texas Non-MSA AA. The bank also closed an office in a moderate-income census
tract, but the ATM of the closed branch remains open to serve this area. These offices and ATMs
demonstrate the availability of banking services to low- and moderate-income individuals.

Competition
The area contains a moderate level of competition from other chartered banks, with 17 offices
representing 9 institutions. Pilgrim Bank ranks 7th in deposit market share by capturing 2.9 percent
of the area’s deposits, as of June 30, 2022, based on FDIC Deposit Market Share report.
Community Contacts
Examiners utilized an existing community contact to help assess the area’s current economic
conditions, community credit needs, and potential opportunities for bank involvement. The contact
noted that the area’s economic conditions are stable and local institutions are meeting credit needs.
Overall, the contact felt that financial institutions have been responsive to the credit and community
development needs of the area.
The contact noted that small business and home mortgage lending continue to be in demand as the
area economy continues to grow. The area has experienced increases in new residents and new
businesses during the review period. The contact indicated that local banks were doing well
meeting the needs of the community. The contact also stated that the area benefitted from strong
and active local banks.
Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities
Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and
economic data, examiners determined that home mortgage and small business lending present
primary credit needs of the AA. The significant percentage of businesses with gross annual
revenues of $1 million or less supports this conclusion. In addition, given the number of moderate-
income tracts, activities that revitalize and stabilize as well as economic development activities
represent the primary community development needs.

Home Mortgage Loans
The borrower profile distribution of home mortgage loans in the Fort Worth MD AA reflects poor
performance. The very poor performance to low-income borrowers hampered the reasonable
performance to moderate-income borrowers to support this conclusion. Given that a higher
percentage of families in the AA are categorized as low-income, more weight was placed on the
bank’s performance to low-income borrowers.
The following table shows that the bank did not originate any home mortgage loans to low-income
borrowers trailing the percentage of families reporting such incomes by 23.3 percentage points,
reflecting very poor performance. The table also shows that the bank’s level of lending to
moderate-income borrowers exceeded demographic data by 1.3 percentage points, reflecting
reasonable performance.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEST
Pilgrim Bank community development performance demonstrates an overall adequate
responsiveness to the community development needs through community development loans,
qualified investments, and community development services, as appropriate, considering the
institution’s capacity and the need and availability of such opportunities for community
development in the AA.
Community Development Loans
The community development loan performance for the Fort Worth MD AA proved inconsistent with
that noted previously for the bank as a whole. The dollar volume of community development of loans
in this assessment area supports this conclusion. As detailed in the following table, Pilgrim Bank
originated two community development loans totaling approximately $3.0 million in the Fort Worth
MD AA. This level of lending is similar to the $3.0 million in community development lending made
within the Fort Worth MD AA at the prior evaluation. The current dollar amount equates to 35.9
percent of the total community development loans, as compared to other activity levels associated with
this area, which originates 8.5 percent of the loans, generates 7.6 percent of deposits, and operates 7.1
of offices.
30
The community development loans primarily served to promote economic development, reflecting
responsiveness in addressing identified community development needs. The current level reflects
excellent performance relative to the considerations noted for the Community Development Test.

The following is an example of a community development lending in the Fort Worth MD AA:
Economic Development: In 2021, the bank modified a loan totaling $2.7 million to a small
business operating in Decatur, Texas. This activity provided working capital and promoted
economic development by financing an entity that meets the size eligibility standards of the
regulation and by supporting permanent job creation, retention, or improvement for dozens of
low- or moderate-income persons.
Qualified Investments
The qualified investments performance for the Fort Worth MD AA proved inconsistent with the record
noted previously for the bank as a whole. The dollar volume of qualified investments in this
assessment area supports this conclusion. As detailed in the following table, Pilgrim Bank made use of
six qualified investments and donations totaling $2,000, compared to four qualified investments and
donations totaling $1,000 at the previous evaluation. However, this level of qualified investment
activity equates to 0.01 percent of total dollar volume of the adequate level of qualified investments
bank-wide. As noted, the Fort Worth MD AA contributed 7.6 percent of the bank’s deposits.

activities for borrowers of different income levels and businesses and farms of different
sizes; and
5) The bank’s record of taking action, if warranted, in response to written complaints about its
performance in helping to meet credit needs in its assessment area(s).

38
GLOSSARY
Aggregate Lending: The number of loans originated and purchased by all reporting lenders in
specified income categories as a percentage of the aggregate number of loans originated and
purchased by all reporting lenders in the metropolitan area/assessment area.
American Community Survey (ACS): A nationwide United States Census survey that produces
demographic, social, housing, and economic estimates in the form of five year estimates based on
population thresholds.
Area Median Income: The median family income for the MSA, if a person or geography is
located in an MSA; or the statewide nonmetropolitan median family income, if a person or
geography is located outside an MSA.
Assessment Area: A geographic area delineated by the bank under the requirements of the
Community Reinvestment Act.
Census Tract: A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county or equivalent
entity. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the
presentation of statistical data. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and
8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. Census tract boundaries generally follow
visible and identifiable features, but they may follow nonvisible legal boundaries in some
instances. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries.
Combined Statistical Area (CSA): A combination of several adjacent metropolitan statistical
areas or micropolitan statistical areas or a mix of the two, which are linked by economic ties.
Community Development: For loans, investments, and services to qualify as community
development activities, their primary purpose must:
(1) Support affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals;
(2) Target community services toward low- and moderate-income individuals;
(3) Promote economic development by financing small businesses or farms; or
(4) Provide activities that revitalize or stabilize low- and moderate-income geographies,
designated disaster areas, or distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income
geographies.
Community Development Corporation (CDC): A CDC allows banks and holding companies to
make equity type of investments in community development projects. Institution CDCs can
develop innovative debt instruments or provide near-equity investments tailored to the development
needs of the community. Institution CDCs are also tailored to their financial and marketing needs.
A CDC may purchase, own, rehabilitate, construct, manage, and sell real property. Also, it may
make equity or debt investments in development projects and in local businesses. The CDC
activities are expected to directly benefit low- and moderate-income groups, and the investment
dollars should not represent an undue risk on the banking organization.
39
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs): CDFIs are private intermediaries
(either for profit or nonprofit) with community development as their primary mission. A CDFI
facilitates the flow of lending and investment capital into distressed communities and to individuals
who have been unable to take advantage of the services offered by traditional financial institutions.
Some basic types of CDFIs include community development banks, community development loan
funds, community development credit unions, micro enterprise funds, and community development
venture capital funds.
A certified CDFI must meet eligibility requirements. These requirements include the following:
Having a primary mission of promoting community development;
Serving an investment area or target population;
Providing development services;
Maintaining accountability to residents of its investment area or targeted population through
representation on its governing board of directors, or by other means;
Not constituting an agency or instrumentality of the United States, of any state or political
subdivision of a state.
Community Development Loan: A loan that:
(1) Has as its primary purpose community development; and
(2) Except in the case of a wholesale or limited purpose institution:
(i) Has not been reported or collected by the institution or an affiliate for consideration in the
institution’s assessment area as a home mortgage, small business, small farm, or
consumer loan, unless it is a multifamily dwelling loan (as described in Appendix A to
Part 203 of this title); and
(ii) Benefits the institution’s assessment area(s) or a broader statewide or regional area
including the institution’s assessment area(s).
Community Development Service: A service that:
(1) Has as its primary purpose community development;
(2) Is related to the provision of financial services; and
(3) Has not been considered in the evaluation of the institution’s retail banking services under §
345.24(d).
Consumer Loan(s): A loan(s) to one or more individuals for household, family, or other personal
expenditures. A consumer loan does not include a home mortgage, small business, or small farm
loan. This definition includes the following categories: motor vehicle loans, credit card loans, home
equity loans, other secured consumer loans, and other unsecured consumer loans.
Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA): The county or counties or equivalent entities associated
with at least one core (urbanized area or urban cluster) of at least 10,000 population, plus adjacent
counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through
commuting ties with the counties associated with the core. Metropolitan and Micropolitan
Statistical Areas are the two categories of CBSAs.
40
Distressed Middle-Income Nonmetropolitan Geographies: A nonmetropolitan middle-income
geography will be designated as distressed if it is in a county that meets one or more of the
following triggers:
(1) An unemployment rate of at least 1.5 times the national average;
(2) A poverty rate of 20 percent or more; or
(3) A population loss of 10 percent or more between the previous and most recent decennial
census or a net migration loss of 5 percent or more over the 5-year period preceding the
most recent census.
Family: Includes a householder and one or more other persons living in the same household who
are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. The number of family households
always equals the number of families; however, a family household may also include non-relatives
living with the family. Families are classified by type as either a married-couple family or other
family. Other family is further classified into “male householder” (a family with a male
householder and no wife present) or “female householder” (a family with a female householder and
no husband present).
FFIEC-Estimated Income Data: The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
issues annual estimates which update median family income from the metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas. The FFIEC uses American Community Survey data and factors in
information from other sources to arrive at an annual estimate that more closely reflects current
economic conditions.
Full-Scope Review: A full-scope review is accomplished when examiners complete all applicable
interagency examination procedures for an assessment area. Performance under applicable tests is
analyzed considering performance context, quantitative factors (e.g, geographic distribution,
borrower profile, and total number and dollar amount of investments), and qualitative factors (e.g,
innovativeness, complexity, and responsiveness).
Geography: A census tract delineated by the United States Bureau of the Census in the most recent
decennial census.
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA): The statute that requires certain mortgage lenders that
do business or have banking offices in a metropolitan statistical area to file annual summary reports
of their mortgage lending activity. The reports include such data as the race, gender, and the
income of applicants; the amount of loan requested; and the disposition of the application
(approved, denied, and withdrawn).
Home Mortgage Loans: Includes closed-end mortgage loans or open-end line of credits as defined
in the HMDA regulation that are not an excluded transaction per the HMDA regulation.
Housing Unit: Includes a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room
that is occupied as separate living quarters.
Limited-Scope Review: A limited scope review is accomplished when examiners do not complete
all applicable interagency examination procedures for an assessment area.
41
Performance under applicable tests is often analyzed using only quantitative factors (e.g, geographic
distribution, borrower profile, total number and dollar amount of investments, and branch
distribution).
Low-Income: Individual income that is less than 50 percent of the area median income, or a
median family income that is less than 50 percent in the case of a geography.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit: The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program is a housing
program contained within the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is administered by
the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. The U.S. Treasury
Department distributes low-income housing tax credits to housing credit agencies through the
Internal Revenue Service. The housing agencies allocate tax credits on a competitive basis.
Developers who acquire, rehabilitate, or construct low-income rental housing may keep their tax
credits. Or, they may sell them to corporations or investor groups, who, as owners of these
properties, will be able to reduce their own federal tax payments. The credit can be claimed
annually for ten consecutive years. For a project to be eligible, the developer must set aside a
specific percentage of units for occupancy by low-income residents. The set-aside requirement
remains throughout the compliance period, usually 30 years.
Market Share: The number of loans originated and purchased by the institution as a percentage of
the aggregate number of loans originated and purchased by all reporting lenders in the metropolitan
area/assessment area.
Median Income: The median income divides the income distribution into two equal parts, one
having incomes above the median and other having incomes below the median.
Metropolitan Division (MD): A county or group of counties within a CBSA that contain(s) an
urbanized area with a population of at least 2.5 million. A MD is one or more main/secondary
counties representing an employment center or centers, plus adjacent counties associated with the
main/secondary county or counties through commuting ties.
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA): CBSA associated with at least one urbanized area having a
population of at least 50,000. The MSA comprises the central county or counties or equivalent
entities containing the core, plus adjacent outlying counties having a high degree of social and
economic integration with the central county or counties as measured through commuting.
Middle-Income: Individual income that is at least 80 percent and less than 120 percent of the area
median income, or a median family income that is at least 80 and less than 120 percent in the case
of a geography.
Moderate-Income: Individual income that is at least 50 percent and less than 80 percent of the
area median income, or a median family income that is at least 50 and less than 80 percent in the
case of a geography.
Multi-family: Refers to a residential structure that contains five or more units.
42
Nonmetropolitan Area (also known as non-MSA): All areas outside of metropolitan areas. The
definition of nonmetropolitan area is not consistent with the definition of rural areas. Urban and
rural classifications cut across the other hierarchies. For example, there is generally urban and rural
territory within metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
Owner-Occupied Units: Includes units occupied by the owner or co-owner, even if the unit has
not been fully paid for or is mortgaged.
Qualified Investment: A lawful investment, deposit, membership share, or grant that has as its
primary purpose community development.
Rated Area: A rated area is a state or multistate metropolitan area. For an institution with
domestic branches in only one state, the institution’s CRA rating would be the state rating. If an
institution maintains domestic branches in more than one state, the institution will receive a rating
for each state in which those branches are located. If an institution maintains domestic branches in
two or more states within a multistate metropolitan area, the institution will receive a rating for the
multistate metropolitan area.
Rural Area: Territories, populations, and housing units that are not classified as urban.
Small Business Investment Company (SBIC): SBICs are privately-owned investment companies
which are licensed and regulated by the Small Business Administration (SBA). SBICs provide
long-term loans and/or venture capital to small firms. Because money for venture or risk
investments is difficult for small firms to obtain, SBA provides assistance to SBICs to stimulate and
supplement the flow of private equity and long-term loan funds to small companies. Venture
capitalists participate in the SBIC program to supplement their own private capital with funds
borrowed at favorable rates through SBA’s guarantee of SBIC debentures. These SBIC debentures
are then sold to private investors. An SBIC’s success is linked to the growth and profitability of the
companies that it finances. Therefore, some SBICs primarily assist businesses with significant
growth potential, such as new firms in innovative industries. SBICs finance small firms by
providing straight loans and/or equity-type investments. This kind of financing gives them partial
ownership of those businesses and the possibility of sharing in the companies’ profits as they grow
and prosper.
Small Business Loan: A loan included in “loans to small businesses” as defined in the
Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call Report). These loans have original amounts of
$1 million or less and are either secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties or are classified as
commercial and industrial loans.
Small Farm Loan: A loan included in “loans to small farms” as defined in the instructions for
preparation of the Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call Report). These loans have
original amounts of $500,000 or less and are either secured by farmland, including farm residential
and other improvements, or are classified as loans to finance agricultural production and other loans
to farmers.
43
Underserved Middle-Income Nonmetropolitan Geographies: A nonmetropolitan middle-
income geography will be designated as underserved if it meets criteria for population size, density,
and dispersion indicating the area’s population is sufficiently small, thin, and distant from a
population center that the tract is likely to have difficulty financing the fixed costs of meeting
essential community needs.
Upper-Income: Individual income that is 120 percent or more of the area median income, or a
median family income that is 120 percent or more in the case of a geography.
Urban Area: All territories, populations, and housing units in urbanized areas and in places of
2,500 or more persons outside urbanized areas. More specifically, “urban” consists of territory,
persons, and housing units in places of 2,500 or more persons incorporated as cities, villages,
boroughs (except in Alaska and New York), and towns (except in the New England states, New
York, and Wisconsin).
“Urban” excludes the rural portions of “extended cities”; census designated place of 2,500 or more
persons; and other territory, incorporated or unincorporated, including in urbanized areas.
