Following the announcement of the Agreement and as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, purported stockholders of Affinity filed the following lawsuits in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, against Affinity and the individual members of the Affinity board of directors: (i) Johnson v. Affinity Bancshares, Inc., et al., Index No. 655391/2024 (October 11, 2024); and (ii) Thompson v. Affinity Bancshares, Inc., et al., Index No. 655423/2024 (October 11, 2024) (the “Complaints”). Additionally, between October 7, 2024 and October 16, 2024, Affinity received a total of seven demand letters from counsel representing other individual purported stockholders of Affinity (collectively, the “Demands” and, together with the Complaints, the “Matters”). The Matters allege, among other things, that Affinity and/or its directors caused a false and misleading proxy statement relating to the Transaction to be filed with the SEC in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or are liable for negligence and negligent misrepresentation and concealment under state common law.

Affinity believes that the allegations in the Matters are without merit, that the disclosures in the proxy statement comply fully with applicable laws, and that supplemental disclosures are not required or necessary under applicable laws. However, in order to avoid the risk that the Matters delay or otherwise adversely affect the Transaction, and to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Affinity is supplementing the  proxy statement as described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Affinity and its directors deny that they have violated any laws, negligently misrepresented or concealed any information, or breached any fiduciary duties. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein or in the  proxy statement. To the contrary, Affinity and its directors specifically deny all allegations in the Matters and that any additional disclosure in the proxy statement was or is required.

Supplemental Disclosures to the Proxy Statement

The supplemental information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K supplements the disclosures contained in the proxy statement and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement, which should be read in its entirety. Defined terms used but not defined below have the meanings set forth in the proxy statement. All page references in the information below

are to pages in the proxy statement. Paragraph references used herein refer to the proxy statement before any additions or deletions resulting from the supplemental disclosures. The information contained herein speaks only as of October 29, 2024, unless the information indicates another date applies. For clarity, new text within restated paragraphs from the proxy statement is highlighted with bold, underlined text, while deleted text is bold and stricken-through.
