expected; (ii) changes in economic conditions, either nationally or
in the Company’s market areas; (iii) the remaining effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic on general economic and financial market
conditions and on public health; (iv) fluctuations in interest

caused by Federal Reserve actions or otherwise; (v) the impact of
bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related
negative press about the banking industry in general on investor
and depositor sentiment; (vi) slower economic growth caused by
changes in energy prices, supply chain disruptions or other
factors; (vii) the risks of lending and investing activities,
including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies
and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses; (viii) the possibility of realized or
unrealized losses on securities held in the Company’s investment
portfolio; (ix) the Company’s ability to access cost-effective
funding and maintain sufficient liquidity; (x) fluctuations in real
estate values and both residential and commercial real estate
market conditions; (xi) the ability to adapt successfully to

legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect the
Company’s business; (xiv) changes in accounting policies and
practices or accounting standards; (xv) results of examinations of
the Company and Great Southern Bank by their regulators, including
the possibility that the regulators may, among other things,
require the Company to limit its business activities, change its

assets or increase its capital levels, or affect its ability to
borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could
adversely affect its liquidity and earnings; (xvi) costs and
effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; (xvii)
competition; (xviii) the transition from LIBOR to new interest rate
benchmarks; and (xix) natural disasters, war, terrorist activities
or civil unrest and their effects on economic and business
