 or who previously requested to receive proxy materials electronically. Excluding the salaries and wages of our regular employees, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, expenses related to our solicitation of proxies.

#### Shareholders Sharing the Same Address
SEC rules permit us to deliver only one copy of our proxy materials to multiple shareholders of record who share the same address and have the same last name, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. This delivery method, called “householding,” reduces our printing and mailing costs. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you are a shareholder of record who currently receives a single copy of our proxy materials and wishes to receive a separate copy of our proxy materials or if you are currently receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials at the same address and wish to receive only a single copy, please write to the Secretary of the Company at HomeStreet, Inc. 601 Union Street, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98101 or call at (206) 389-7773.

Beneficial owners sharing an address who are currently receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and wish to receive only a single copy in the future, or who currently receive a single copy and wish to receive separate copies in the future, should contact their bank, broker or other nominee to request that only a single copy or separate copies, as the case may be, be delivered to all shareholders at the shared address in the future.

#### Shareholder List
A list of our shareholders as of the close of business on March 31, 2025 will be available for inspection during business hours for 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting at our principal executive offices located at 601 Union Street, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98101. This list will also be accessible during the Annual Meeting through the meeting website www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HMST2025 .
