 online during the HomeStreet special meeting. Whether or not you intend to be virtually present at the HomeStreet special meeting, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card to HomeStreet in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet as described on the enclosed instructions as soon as possible. If you then virtually attend and vote your shares during the meeting, your original proxy will be revoked by virtually attending and voting at the HomeStreet special meeting. Shares of HomeStreet Common Stock Held in Street Name If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, you must instruct the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee will vote your shares only if you provide specific instructions on how to vote by following the instructions provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee. You may not vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to HomeStreet. Further, brokers, banks, trustees or other nominees who hold shares of HomeStreet common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to HomeStreet to vote those shares with respect to any of the proposals presented at the HomeStreet special meeting without specific instructions from their customers, as brokers, banks, trustees and other nominees do not have discretionary voting power on the proposals that will be voted upon at the HomeStreet special meeting, including the HomeStreet articles amendment proposal, the HomeStreet share issuance proposal, the HomeStreet new equity incentive plan proposal, the HomeStreet merger-related compensation proposal and the HomeStreet adjournment proposal. Revocability of Proxies If you are the record holder of HomeStreet common stock, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the HomeStreet special meeting. You can do this by:

| • | timely delivering a signed written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of HomeStreet; |

| • | timely delivering a new, valid proxy bearing a later date (including by mail, telephone or internet); or |

| • | virtually attending the HomeStreet special meeting and voting during the meeting. Simply virtually attending the HomeStreet special meeting without voting will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given or change your vote. |

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker, or other holder of record, you should contact your record holder to change your vote.
