&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Registration Statement File No. 333-250886, filed with the SEC on November 23, 2020, pertaining to the registration of 1,429,734 shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Registrant (the "Common Stock"), reserved for issuance under the Provident Bancorp, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Registration Statement File No. 333-234402, filed with the SEC on October 31, 2019, pertaining to the registration of 1,132,072 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant reserved for issuance under the Provident Bancorp, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Registration Statement File No. 333-234401, filed with the SEC on October 31, 2019, pertaining to the registration of 1,706,369 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant reserved for issuance under the BankProv 401(k) Plan (formerly, SBERA 401(k) Plan as Adopted by The Provident Bank) and registering an indeterminate number of participation interests, all for offer and sale under the BankProv 401(k) Plan (formerly, SBERA 401(k) Plan as Adopted by The Provident Bank).
