eth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Huntington board of directors to be elected at such meeting. 
 A shareholder’s notice, whether for an annual or special meeting, must set forth certain information as specified in the Huntington bylaws.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
 Notwithstanding anything in the Huntington bylaws to the contrary, except as otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, if the shareholder giving notice does not appear in person or by proxy at such annual or special meeting to present each nominee for election as a director or the proposed business, as applicable, such matter will not be considered at the meeting.                                                                                             |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers: |     | Huntington’s charter provides that no director or officer of Huntington will be personally liable to Huntington or its shareholders for money damages, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action.                                                 |     | Veritex’s certificate of formation provides that no director of Veritex will be liable to Veritex or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director's capacity as a director, except to the extent the foregoing exemption from liability is not permitted under Texas law.                                             
 Texas law provides that the certificate of formation of a corporation may provide that a director of the corporation is not liable, or is liable only to the extent provided by the certificate of formation to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission by the person in the person's capacity as a director. |
