The Bank’s members approved the transaction at a Special Meeting of Members held on June 23, 2025.

The transaction is expected to close on July 31, 2025. The Company’s common stock is expected to be quoted on the OTCQB Market operated by the OTC Markets Group beginning on or about August 1, 2025 (ticker symbol assignment pending).

The Company intends to sell 889,781 shares of common stock, which includes 62,285 shares to be sold to the Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan, for gross offering proceeds (before deducting offering expenses) of approximately $8.9 million based on the offering price of $10.00 per share. The Company expects to have 889,781 shares of common stock issued and outstanding upon the closing of the transaction.

The Company conducted a Subscription Offering, which closed on June 20, 2025, and a Community Offering, which closed on July 10, 2025. Because the stock offering was not oversubscribed, the Company intends to fill all valid stock orders subject to the purchase limitations disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus dated May 14, 2025, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplements dated June 24, 2025, July 3, 2025 and July 8, 2025.

The Company’s transfer agent, Pacific Stock Transfer Company, plans to mail Direct Registration System (“DRS”) Book-Entry statements for the shares purchased in the stock offering, and interest checks, on or about August 1, 2025.
