 2025, a shareholder proposal must be received by a reasonable time before ESSA begins to print and mail its proxy solicitation materials for such annual meeting. Any shareholder proposals will be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted by the SEC.

Under ESSA’s bylaws, a shareholder must follow certain procedures to nominate persons for election as directors or to introduce an item of business at a meeting of shareholders. These procedures provide, generally, that shareholders desiring to make nominations for directors, or to bring a proper subject of business before the meeting, must do so by a written notice timely received 120 days prior to the date of the prior year’s proxy statement. For the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025, this deadline was September 23, 2024.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements under ESSA’s bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules under the Exchange Act, shareholders who intended to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than ESSA’s nominees should have provided notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, no later than January 6, 2025.**

<div align='center'>**HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS**</div>

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

If you would like to revoke your consent to “householding,” or if you are receiving multiple copies at your address and would like to enroll in “householding,” please submit your request, in the case of CNB shareholders, to Anna K. “Katie” Andersen, Secretary, CNB Financial Corporation, P.O. Box 42, Clearfield, Pennsylvania 16830 or call CNB at (814) 765-9621, and in the case of ESSA shareholders, to Stephanie Lefferson, ESSA Bancorp, Inc., 200 Palmer Street, PO Box L, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania 18360 or call ESSA at (570) 422-0182 . If you own your shares in “street name,” please contact your broker, bank or other nominee to make your request.
