sequent to the execution of the merger agreement, HomeStreet and the key shareholders entered into the key shareholder voting agreements. Pursuant to the key shareholder voting agreements, each of the key shareholders has agreed, promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement forms a part to execute and deliver written consents approving the Mechanics merger proposal with respect to all of such key shareholders’ shares of Mechanics common stock entitled to act by written consent with respect thereto. The shares of Mechanics voting common stock that are owned by the key shareholders and subject to the key shareholders voting agreements represent approximately 90.4% of the Mechanics voting common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement. The execution and delivery of written consents by certain of the Ford Entities, who are key shareholders, will constitute receipt by Mechanics of the requisite Mechanics shareholder approval and, therefore, Mechanics expects to receive a number of written consents sufficient to constitute receipt of the requisite Mechanics shareholder approval required under the merger agreement.

If you are a holder of Mechanics voting common stock, you may consent to the Mechanics merger proposal (which is equivalent to a vote with respect to the proposal) with respect to your Mechanics voting common stock by completing and signing the written consent furnished with this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement and returning it to Mechanics until the earlier of the sixtieth (60th) day following the consent record date (the latest day that a written consent may be delivered under California law to approve an action) or the closing date (the “consent deadline”). You may execute a written consent with respect to such Mechanics voting common stock to approve the Mechanics merger proposal. If you withhold or do not return your written consent, it will have the same effect as a consent against the Mechanics merger proposal. If you are a holder of Mechanics voting common stock on the consent record date and you return a signed written consent without indicating your decision on the Mechanics merger proposal, you will have given your consent to approve the Mechanics merger proposal. Your consent to the merger proposal may be changed or revoked at any time until on or before the earlier of the consent deadline and the receipt of the requisite Mechanics shareholder approval. For more information, see the section entitled “ Mechanics Solicitation of Written Consents .”
