These regulatory capital disclosures include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, periodic and other filings made by People's United Financial, Inc. ("People's United" or the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may, from time to time, contain information and statements that are forward-looking in nature. Such filings include the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and may include other forms such as proxy statements. Other written or oral statements made by People's United or its representatives from time to time may also contain forward-looking statements.
In general, forward-looking statements usually use words such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "should," and similar expressions, and include all statements about People's United's operating results or financial position for future periods. Forward-looking statements represent management's beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance.
All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause People's
United's actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements. Factors of particular importance to People's United include, but are not limited to:
- changes in general, international, national or regional economic conditions; (2) changes in interest rates; (3) changes in loan default and charge-off rates; (4) changes in deposit levels; (5) changes in levels of income and expense in non-interest income and expense related activities; (6) changes in accounting and regulatory guidance applicable to banks; (7) price levels and conditions in the public securities markets generally; (8) competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; (9) the pending merger with M&T Bank Corporation; (10) changes in regulation resulting from or relating to financial reform legislation; and (11) the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the economic and business environment in which we operate.
All forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. People's United does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For a further discussion of risk factors that may cause the Company's actual results to differ from those expected, refer to "Item 1A.

OVERVIEW
People's United is a bank holding company and a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHC Act"), as amended, and is incorporated under the state laws of Delaware. People's United is the holding company for People's United Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), a national banking association headquartered in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
The principal business of People's United is to provide, through the Bank and its subsidiaries, commercial banking, retail banking and wealth management services to individual, corporate and municipal customers. Traditional banking activities are conducted primarily within New England and southeastern New York, and include extending secured and unsecured commercial and consumer loans, originating mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial properties, and accepting consumer, commercial and municipal deposits. At December 31, 2021, the Company had total assets of
$64.6 billion, total loans of $37.9 billion, total deposits of $53.8 billion and total stockholders' equity of $7.9 billion.
SCOPE OF APPLICATION
Supervision and Regulation
As a bank holding company and a financial holding company, People's United is regulated under the BHC Act and is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"). Among other things, this authority permits the FRB to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary bank. A bank holding company should have sufficient capital and an effective capital planning process, consistent with its overall risk profile and considering the size, scope, and complexity of its operations, to ensure its safe and sound operation. In addition, the FRB evaluates a bank holding company's capital planning and capital distribution processes, and its capital sufficiency in light of relevant regulations and supervisory guidance applicable to bank holding companies. The Bank is subject to regulation, examination, supervision and reporting requirements by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") as its primary regulator.
Refer to pages 2 through 7 in People's United's 2021 Form 10-K for a further discussion on supervision and regulation of both the Company and the Bank.

Regulatory Capital Requirements
Bank holding companies and national banks are subject to various regulations regarding capital requirements administered by U.S. banking agencies. The FRB (in the case of a bank holding company) and the OCC (in the case of a bank) may initiate certain actions if a bank holding company or a bank fails to meet minimum capital requirements. In addition, under its prompt corrective action regulations, the OCC is required to take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with respect to an undercapitalized bank. These actions could have a direct material effect on a bank's financial statements. People's United and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC, respectively. Both People's United and the Bank are subject to capital rules (the "Basel III capital rules" or "Basel III") issued by U.S. banking agencies.
The Basel III capital rules require U.S. financial institutions to maintain: (i) a minimum ratio of "Common Equity Tier 1" ("CET 1") capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (which is added to the 4.5% CET 1 risk-based capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum CET 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.0%); (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5%); (iii) a minimum ratio of Total (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% Total risk-based capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%); and (iv) a minimum
Tier 1 Leverage capital ratio of at least 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets, as defined.
In order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments, a financial institution must hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% above its minimum risk-based capital requirements.
In December 2018, the Federal banking agencies approved a final rule allowing an option to phase-in, over three years, the day one regulatory capital effects of the accounting standard relating to current expected credit losses (the "CECL standard"). In March 2020, the Federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule providing an alternative option to delay, for two years, an estimate of the CECL standard's effect on regulatory capital (relative to incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital), followed by a three-year transition period. The Company has elected the alternative option provided in the March 2020 interim final rule.
