 merger agreement. Accordingly, failure to approve this proposal will prevent the completion of the merger.

•

Effect of abstentions and broker non-votes : If you fail to vote, mark “ABSTAIN” on your proxy card, or fail to instruct your bank, broker, or other nominee how to vote with respect to the stockholders agreement amendment proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal because approval is based on the total number of outstanding shares.

adjournment proposal :

•

Standard : Approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, provided a quorum is present. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy. If Bancorp Financial stockholders fail to approve the adjournment proposal but approve the merger proposal and the stockholders agreement amendment proposal, the merger may nonetheless occur.

•

Effect of abstentions and broker non-votes : Because shares voted “ABSTAIN” are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum, if you mark “ABSTAIN” on your proxy card, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adjournment proposal. If you fail to vote or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to the adjournment proposal, you will be deemed not to be present with respect to the proposal, and it will have no effect on the proposal.
