| Q: | What constitutes a quorum for the HomeStreet special meeting? |

| A: | The presence at the HomeStreet special meeting, virtually or by proxy, of holders of majority of the outstanding shares of HomeStreet common stock entitled to vote at the HomeStreet special meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the HomeStreet special meeting.
