| Q: | If I am a participant in the ESSA Bank & Trust Employee Stock Ownership Plan or if I hold ESSA common stock through the ESSA Bank & Trust 401(k) Plan, how do I vote the shares allocated to me? |

| A: | If you participate in the ESSA Bank & Trust Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESSA Bank ESOP”) or if you hold ESSA common stock through the ESSA Bank & Trust 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), you will receive a vote authorization form that reflects all shares you may direct the trustees to vote on your behalf under the plans. Under the terms of the ESSA Bank ESOP, the trustee will vote all shares held by the ESSA Bank ESOP, but each ESSA Bank ESOP participant may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to his or her account. The trustee, subject to the exercise of its fiduciary responsibilities, will vote all unallocated shares of common stock held by the ESSA Bank ESOP and all allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, a participant is entitled to provide voting instructions for all shares credited to his or her 401(k) Plan account and held in the ESSA Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund. Shares for which no voting instructions are given or for which instructions were not timely received will be voted in the same proportion as shares for which voting instructions were received. |
