May 29, 2025 Sent by email to JLemmon@fkhpartners.com Mr. Jeremy S. Lemmon Partner Fenimore Kay Harrison LLP 812 San Antonio Street, Suite 600 Austin, Texas 78701 Subject: Submission of Substantial Asset Change Application by The First National Bank of Moody, Moody, Texas OCC Control No.: 2025-5.53-341103 OCC Charter No.: 5774 Dear Mr. Lemmon: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) hereby conditionally approves the application of The First National Bank of Moody, Moody, Texas, (Bank) to effect a substantial change in asset composition. This conditional approval is granted after a thorough review of all information available, including the representations and commitments made in the application and by Bank’s representatives. Specifically, this conditional approval is granted, in part, based on Bank’s representation that Bank’s parent, North Texas Bancshares, Inc., will contribute $12,000,000 to Bank’s capital upon consummation of the transaction. In deciding a change in asset composition application, the OCC considers the capital level of the resulting institution; the conformity of the transaction to applicable law, regulation and supervisory policies; the purpose of the transaction, its impact on the safety and soundness of the bank, and any effect on the bank’s shareholders or customers. 12 CFR 5.53(d)(3). The OCC's review of any substantial asset change that involves the purchase or other acquisition or other expansions of a bank's operations will include, in addition to the foregoing factors, the factors governing the organization of a bank under 12 CFR 5.20. These factors include whether the resulting bank has organizers who are familiar with national bank laws and regulations; has competent management, including a board of directors with ability and experience relevant to the type of services to be provided; has capital sufficient to support the projected volume and type of business; can reasonably be expected to achieve and maintain profitability; will be operated in a safe and sound manner; and does not have a title that misrepresents the nature of the institution or services it offers. OCC reviewed these factors and deemed conditional approval consistent with regulatory requirements. Conditional Approval #1340 June 2025
