, who will serve as Executive Chairman of the board of directors of combined company, and one director who was a member of the HomeStreet board of directors immediately prior to the effective time and designated by Mechanics (the “legacy HomeStreet director”), who is expected to be Nancy D. Pellegrino. Following the effective time, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, as long as Rabobank Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 4.9% of the outstanding capital stock and other classes of equity securities of the combined company, the Rabobank Parties will have the right to appoint one observer to the combined company board of directors, and from and after such time as the Rabobank Parties acquire additional shares of the combined company’s voting common stock such that they beneficially own, in the aggregate, 9.9% or more of combined company’s voting common stock, the Rabobank Parties will have the right to appoint one director to the combined company board of directors (subject to the combined company’s board of directors’ reasonable approval). Immediately following the effective time, the board of directors of the combined company is expected to consist of: Carl B. Webb, E. Michael Downer, Patricia Cochran, Adrienne Crowe, Douglas Downer, 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) |

| • | Scott Givans (Chief Credit Officer) |
