Significant geographic concentration in Texas exposes the company to regional economic downturns; substantially all of the bank's real estate loans are in Texas, **19.3% of mortgage originations** were in Texas, and **69.6% of insurance premiums** were written in Texas in 2019[239](index=239&type=chunk)[240](index=240&type=chunk) - The pending sale of the insurance segment (NLC) is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions; failure to complete the transaction could adversely affect the company's stock price and financial condition[223](index=223&type=chunk)[224](index=224&type=chunk) [Unresolved Staff Comments](index=101&type=section&id=Item%201B.%20Unresolved%20Staff%20Comments) The company reports that it has no unresolved staff comments from the SEC -
