 Information
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies, to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) which is to held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott, 2400 East Campus Drive, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in this Proxy Statement.

This Proxy Statement has been mailed on March 25, 2025 to all holders of record of common stock as of the record date. If a shareholder’s shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, then that party should give the shareholder instructions for voting the shareholder’s shares.

#### Voting at the Meeting
We have fixed the close of business on March 14, 2025 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof. We have only one class of common stock and no preferred stock. As of March 14, 2025, there were 7,414,569 shares of stock outstanding. Each outstanding share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each separate matter presented for vote at the meeting. You may vote on matters that are properly presented at the Annual Meeting by attending the meeting and casting a vote, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, voting on the internet, or voting by phone. You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by filing with Isabella Bank Corporation (the “Corporation”) an instrument revoking it, filing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date (including a proxy given over the internet or by phone) or by attending the meeting and electing to vote in person. You are encouraged to vote by mail, internet, or phone.

A quorum must be present in order to hold the Annual Meeting. A quorum is present if a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote are represented in person or by proxy. If you execute and return a proxy, those shares will be counted to determine if there is a quorum, even if you abstain or fail to vote on any of the proposals. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes, which are described below, in determining whether a quorum exists.
