 by Written Consent:  |     | Under Maryland law, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a unanimous consent which sets forth the action is (1) provided in writing or by electronic transmission by each shareholder entitled to vote on the matter; and (2) filed in paper or electronic form with the records of shareholders meetings. If authorized by the charter, holders of shares of common stock may act by the written or electronic consent of the holders of the shares necessary to approve the action at a meeting. 
 Huntington’s charter does not address shareholder action without a meeting and, therefore, unanimous consent is required for shareholder action without a meeting.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |     | Under Veritex’s bylaws, any action required to be taken by the shareholders at any annual or special meeting of such shareholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of Veritex, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if (a) a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, will be signed by every holder of shares outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, or (b) a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, will be signed by shareholders having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which the holders of all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. |
