. If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned, your common stock may be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on the new meeting date as well unless you have revoked your proxy. The Company does not know of any other matters to be presented at the meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the annual meeting. To revoke your proxy, you must either advise the Company’s Corporate Secretary in writing before your shares have been voted at the annual meeting, deliver valid proxy instructions with a later date, or attend the meeting and vote your shares in person. Attendance at the annual meeting will not in itself constitute revocation of your proxy. Instead of voting by mailing a proxy card, registered shareholders can vote their shares of First Capital common stock via the internet or by telephone. The internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, allow shareholders to cast their vote, and confirm that their vote has been recorded properly. Specific instructions for internet and telephone voting are set forth on the proxy card. The deadline for voting via the internet or by telephone is 1:00 a.m., local time, on May 21, 2025. Participants in the ESOP If you participate in the ESOP, you will receive a voting instruction form for all shares you may vote under the plan. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustees vote all shares held by the ESOP, but each participant in the ESOP may direct the trustees how to vote the shares of First Capital common stock allocated to his or her account. The ESOP trustees will vote all allocated shares for which no timely voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which the trustees have received valid voting instructions. The deadline for returning your voting instructions to the ESOP trustees is May 16, 2025.
