Under the terms of the Agreement, which will remain in effect until the completion of the Company?s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the Company has agreed to, among other things, appoint Mr. Alcott to the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank, in the class of directors expiring at the Company?s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and similar class of the Bank board. In the event Mr. Alcott is unable to serve as a director of the Company and Bank, the Company and Bank will appoint a replacement director chosen by the Stilwell Group.

Under the Agreement, provided that the Board of Directors determines that such action is consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to repurchase, subject to the receipt of any required regulatory approvals and/or non-objections, at least five percent of the Company?s common stock annually for each of fiscal year 2024 and 2025. If the Company is unable to repurchase, for any reason, at least five percent of the then outstanding shares of Company common stock annually for either fiscal year 2024 or 2025, the Company will, promptly after the conclusion of that fiscal year, engage an investment banker to assist the Company?s Board of Directors in evaluating all reasonable alternatives for maximizing the value of the Company?s common stock.
