 Kenneth D. Russell, Jon Wilcox and Nancy D. Pellegrino. Committees of the Combined Company Board of Directors Following the Merger The HomeStreet board of directors has an established standing executive committee, audit committee, compensation committee, enterprise risk management committee, and nominating and governance committee, each of which operate pursuant to a charter adopted by the HomeStreet board of directors. After completion of the merger, the combined company’s board of directors will continue to have such standing committees, other than the executive committee. Because the combined company will be a “controlled company” under the corporate governance standards of NASDAQ or the NYSE, the combined company is not required to have a compensation committee composed of independent directors or a nominating and corporate governance committee composed of independent directors. Management of the Combined Company After the Merger HomeStreet and Mechanics have announced members of the resulting executive management team of the combined company as follows, all of whom are current executive officers of Mechanics as set forth below:

| • | Carl B. Webb (Executive Chairman) |

| • | C.J. Johnson (President and Chief Executive Officer) |

| • | Nathan Duda (Chief Financial Officer) |
