Explanatory Note

HBT Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 24, 2023 (the “Prior Report”) in order to include revised financial information for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. The financial information was revised due to a subsequent event that occurred following the filing of the Prior Report.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 25, 2023, the Company announced earnings for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. Subsequent to its earnings release, the Company obtained new information related to a litigation loss contingency that resulted in the recognition of a $13.0 million accrual and a related $7.4 million insurance recovery receivable as of December 31, 2022. During the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, the estimated net settlement amount of $5.6 million has been recognized as other noninterest expense.

The effect of the foregoing reduced net income, as originally reported on January 25, 2023, by $4.0 million to $13.1 million and $56.5 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, and reduced originally reported diluted earnings per share of $0.59 and $2.09 to $0.46 and $1.95 for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information Summary included within the Prior Report has been updated to reflect the changes to the Company’s financial information for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, and is attached as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated by reference herein.

The information contained in Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or into any filing or other document pursuant to the Exchange Act, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation.

Forward-Looking Statements

Readers should note that in addition to the historical information contained herein, this press release contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meanings of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “propose,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” or “should,” or similar terminology. Any forward-looking statements presented herein are made only as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) the strength of the local, state, national and international economies (including effects of inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints); (ii) the economic impact of any future terrorist threats and attacks, widespread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States), acts of war or other threats thereof, or other adverse external events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets, and the response of the local, state and national governments to any such adverse external events; (iii) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the FASB or the PCAOB; (iv) changes in state and federal laws, regulations and governmental policies concerning the Company’s general business; (v) changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Company’s assets (including the impact of LIBOR phase-out); (vi) increased competition in the financial services sector and the inability to attract new customers; (vii) changes in technology and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; (viii) unexpected results of acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated; (ix) the loss of key executives or employees; (x) changes in consumer spending; (xi) unexpected outcomes of existing or new litigation involving the Company, including the proposed settlement of the legal actions discussed in Note 23 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2023; (xii) the economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, floods and blizzards; (xiii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the acquisition of Town and Country Financial Corporation (“Town and Country”); (xiv) the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; (xv) the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of Town and Country into those of the Company; (xvi) the effects of the merger on the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; and (xvii) the ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing. Readers should note that the forward-looking statements included in this press release are not a guarantee of future events, and that actual events may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial results, is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1)The Company has granted certain restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents. Such restricted stock units are considered participating securities. As such, we have included these restricted stock units in the calculation of basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
