Election of Directors The Board of Directors presently consists of 15 individuals divided into three classes. Each class of directors is as equal as possible in number and serves for a three-year term of office. The term of office of one class of directors expires at the Annual Meeting each year. An individual may not continue to serve on the Board of Directors after he or she becomes 70 years old. Following recommendation by the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the following nominees be elected as directors for terms expiring at the Annual Meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028: Greg L. Armock Eric (Rick) E. Burrough Kelly J. Potes Brian P. Petty Randy D. Hicks, M.D. As of the date of this proxy statement, each proposed nominee currently serves as a director of ChoiceOne. The proposed nominees are willing to be elected and serve as directors. If a nominee is unable to serve or is otherwise unavailable for election – which we do not anticipate – the incumbent Board of Directors may or may not select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, your proxy will be voted for the person so selected. If a substitute nominee is not selected, your proxy will be voted for the election of the remaining nominees. No proxy will be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.
