 strong alignment with the long-term interests of ESSA shareholders. This vote is not intended to address any specific item
of compensation, but rather the overall compensation that may become payable to ESSA’s executive officers in connection with the merger. This vote is separate and independent from the vote of shareholders to approve the merger agreement. ESSA
asks that its shareholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation that may become payable
to ESSA’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the merger, as disclosed in the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Certain ESSA Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” and the related tables
and narrative, is hereby approved.

Approval of this proposal is not a condition to the completion of the merger. In addition, this vote is advisory and,
therefore, it will not be binding on ESSA, nor will it overrule any prior decision of ESSA or require the ESSA Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) to take any action. However, the ESSA Board of Directors values the opinions of ESSA’s
shareholders, and to the extent that there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the ESSA Board of Directors will consider shareholders’ concerns and will
evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. The ESSA Board of Directors will consider the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast on the matter “FOR” the foregoing resolution as advisory approval
of the compensation that may become payable to ESSA’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the merger.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required to approve the ESSA compensation
proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the ESSA compensation proposal.

Recommendation of the ESSA Board of Directors

THE ESSA BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ESSA COMPENSATION PROPOSAL.
