Key Details

• Announcement date: December 29, 2025 (press release attached to the Form 8‑K).
• Action described: sale of a portion of the company’s investment securities portfolio to reposition the balance sheet.

Why It Matters Sales of investment securities can change Alerus’s liquidity position, interest-rate and credit risk exposure, and may produce gains or losses that affect quarterly earnings and regulatory capital ratios. Because the company has not provided transaction details, investors should watch for follow‑up disclosures (e.g., additional press releases, earnings updates, or regulatory filings) that quantify the sales and state their impact on earnings, revenue, and capital.
