### TRANSACTIONS WITH CERTAIN RELATED PERSONS
In the normal course of our business, we have engaged and expect to continue engaging through the Bank in ordinary banking transactions with our directors, executive officers, their immediate family members and their affiliated entities, including loans to such persons. Except as set forth below, there were no transactions of this nature, the amount of which exceeded $120,000 during 2024 or 2023.

Our directors, officers and employees are eligible for any type of credit offered by Sound Community Bank. Federal regulations permit executive officers and directors to participate in loan programs that are available to other employees, as long as the director or executive officer is not given preferential treatment compared to other participating employees. In accordance with banking regulations, such loans to directors and executive officers are made on substantially the same terms as those available to Sound Community Bank’s employees generally. Such loans provide for a discount as to interest rate, consistent with the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation O – Loans to Executive Officers, Directors, and Principal Shareholders of Member Banks. When the director or executive officer leaves Sound Community Bank, these preferential rates return to market rates and terms in effect at the time of origination. Except as noted above, loans to directors and executive officers are made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to Sound Community Bank, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Set forth below is information regarding loans made with preferential interest rates, as compared to interest rates prevailing at the time of origination for comparable loans with persons not related to Sound Community Bank, to directors and executive officers during each of the last two fiscal years who had aggregate indebtedness to Sound Community Bank that exceeded $120,000.
