 with respect to the Mechanics merger proposal, of which executive officers and directors of Mechanics owned an aggregate of [ ] shares of Mechanics voting common stock, representing [ ]% of the shares of Mechanics voting common stock issued and outstanding as of the consent record date. Mechanics currently expects that Mechanics’ directors and executive officers will execute and deliver written consents approving the Mechanics merger proposal, although none of them has entered into any agreements obligating them to do so (other than the Ford Entities pursuant to the Ford Entities voting agreement).

#### Solicitation of Consents; Expenses
The Mechanics board of directors is soliciting consents from the holders of Mechanics voting common stock with respect to the Mechanics merger proposal. HomeStreet and Mechanics will share equally the expenses incurred in connection with the printing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation. Officers and employees of Mechanics may solicit consents by telephone and personally, in addition to solicitation by mail. These persons will receive their regular compensation but no special compensation for soliciting consents.

#### Submission of Consents
If you hold shares of Mechanics voting common stock at the close of business on the consent record date and you wish to give your written consent, you must fill out the enclosed written consent, date and sign it, and promptly return it to Mechanics on or before the earlier of [ ], 2025, which is the 60th and last day that a written consent may be delivered under California law to approve an action with a record date of [ ], or the closing date for the merger (the “consent deadline”). Once you have completed, dated and signed the written consent, you may deliver it to Mechanics by mailing it to Mechanics at 1111 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, attention: Corporate Secretary or emailing a pdf copy to consents@mechanicsbank.com.

The delivery of the written consents of the Ford Entities will constitute receipt by Mechanics of the requisite Mechanics shareholder approval, and therefore a failure to deliver a written consent, as well as the delivery, change or revocation of a written consent, by any other holder of Mechanics voting common stock after the delivery by the Ford Entities of their written consent will not have any effect on the approval of the Mechanics merger proposal.

#### Revocation of Consents
Your consent to the merger proposal may be changed or revoked at any time until on or before the earlier of the consent deadline and the receipt of the requisite Mechanics shareholder approval. However, under the key shareholder voting agreements
