2025 was another successful year for WSFS, marked by strong financial performance, disciplined execution of our strategy, and

continued momentum across our diversified franchise. Our results underscore the strength and resilience of our business model and

reflect strong performance across key financial metrics including earnings per share ("EPS"), return on average assets ("ROA"), Fee

Revenue %, Net Income, and return on average tangible common equity ("ROTCE").

We are particularly pleased with the increase in EPS, which rose by 15% to $5.09, and our year-over-year 21% increase in tangible

book value per share<sup>(2)</sup> to $33.11. This showcases the strength of our return-focused franchise. Notably, WSFS returned $324.7 million

of capital to stockholders while ending the year with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.92%. We are well-positioned to

continue supporting client needs, pursuing strategic growth, and returning capital aligned with our medium-term 12% CET1 target.

Our core businesses continued to demonstrate their scale, diversification, and growth potential. Our Wealth and Trust segment

delivered exceptional results, achieving 16% growth for the full year, supported by strong contributions from WSFS Institutional

Services<sup>®</sup> and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware ("BMT of DE"). Our net interest margin ("NIM") remained strong at 3.87%,

supported by proactive deposit pricing and continued balance sheet optimization. Additionally, we continued to manage expenses with

discipline while investing in the franchise. Our efficiency ratio improved to 59.6% for the year, demonstrating our ability to optimize costs

while continuing to support revenue growth across the franchise.

We entered the second year of our 2025-2027 Strategic Plan with strong momentum. Our focus remains on building differentiated,

scalable businesses, deepening client relationships across our market, and leveraging our diversified model to drive sustained,

profitable growth. With a clear strategy, strong capital position, and talented team dedicated to fulfilling our mission, we remain focused

on continuing to deliver meaningful long-term value for stockholders.

**NIM:** Our NIM of 3.87% increased 5bps compared to the prior year, driven by lower deposit and wholesale funding costs as well as <br>higher cash balances from growth in average deposits. We ended the year with an interest bearing deposit beta of 43% and 32% of <br>our client deposits being noninterest accounts.<br>**Fee Revenue:** Fee revenue was flat compared to last year at $339.9 million. Wealth and Trust continues to perform well and grew <br>16% year-over-year with 35% growth in WSFS Institutional Services<sup>®</sup> and 19% growth in BMT of DE. These increases from Wealth <br>and Trust were partially offset by a 15% decrease in Cash Connect<sup>®</sup> driven by lower ATM volumes and the impact of interest rate cuts.<br>**Noninterest Expense ("NIE"):** Our full-year efficiency ratio of 59.6% decreased 128bps when compared to the prior year. Full-year <br>NIE was down $1.5 million while continuing to support our investments in talent and technology as well as our high-touch Client <br>service business model.<br>**Client Deposits:** Total client deposits grew 4% mainly due to growth in Trust and Private Banking. Noninterest deposits grew 12% <br>and continue to represent over 30% of our total client deposits. Additionally, our deposit base is well-diversified with more than 54% of <br>our client deposits coming from Commercial, Small Business, and Wealth and Trust.<br>**Net Loans and Leases:** Loans grew 1% driven by Construction, Residential Mortgage, and C&I. This growth was partially offset by <br>runoff in our partnership portfolios and the strategic sale of the Upstart portfolio during the year. Our net loan-to-deposit ratio of 74% <br>continues to provide balance sheet flexibility and capacity to fund new loan growth.<br>**Asset Quality:** Overall asset quality remains stable, including our ACL coverage of 1.36%. Problem assets and nonperforming assets <br>declined meaningfully from the prior year and problem assets were at their lowest level in two years. Net charge-offs were 46bps of <br>average loans. When excluding the Upstart portfolio, which was largely divested during the year, net charge-offs were 40bps of <br>average loans. <br>**Capital Management:** Capital ratios remain strong and are all substantially in excess of "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks, <br>including a CET1 of 13.92%. WSFS returned over 110% of reported earnings to stockholders in 2025.<br>**Wealth and Trust:** Fee revenue of $170.9 million grew 16% compared to the prior year, driven by growth in Institutional Services and <br>BMT of DE. Assets Under Management and Administration ("AUM/AUA") increased 9% to $97.4 billion. Additionally, WSFS <br>Institutional Services<sup>®</sup> ended 2025 as the 4th most active U.S. ABS and MBS trustee for the year and has nearly 12% of the total <br>market share.<br>**Cash Connect**<sup>®</sup>**:** Fee revenue was down 15%, primarily driven by lower ATM volumes and interest rate cuts (the revenue decline was <br>more than offset in noninterest expenses). Profit margin increased to 11.5% (from 1.0% in 2024) due to repricing and optimization <br>efforts.<br>

(1) Net income attributable to WSFS.

In considering nominees, our Board of Directors and the Governance and Nominating Committee believe our Board of Directors should

reflect a wide range of leadership accomplishments, skills, knowledge and experience, among the other factors described in the

"Corporate Governance" section. On an annual basis we actively evaluate the efficacy of the Board of Directors and individual

members. We believe it is important to have a strong Board of Directors comprised of a majority of independent directors that is

accountable to our stockholders. We aim for a balanced distribution of shorter-tenured members (less than 6 years), medium-tenured

members (between 6 and 12 years), and longer-tenured members (more than 12 years). Our Board of Directors believes that a broad

range of experiences and skills are necessary to effectively understand our Associates, Clients and Communities. The following charts

show the composition of our Board of Directors following the Annual Meeting:

We strive to be competitive in base pay, taking into consideration salaries of similar positions at comparable financial institutions in our compensation peer group ("CPG"), allowing for exceptions in particular circumstances. We structure our incentive compensation system to provide rewards for performance that reflect our strategic plan and balance executives' focus on both annual goals and our long-term success, without creating undue risk. Our total compensation for expected performance levels is targeted at levels similar to those at comparable financial institutions in our peer group. For top performance, we provide total compensation reflecting that

superior performance.

**We have designed our executive compensation practices to support good governance and mitigate excessive risk-taking:**![Untick.jpg](wsfs-20260402_g27.jpg)

![Tick.jpg](wsfs-20260402_g25.jpg)

Stock Ownership Guidelines Our guidelines require significant stock ownership for our Executive Leadership Team and our Board of Directors. Say-on-Pay We conduct annual Say-on-Pay votes. The 2023 Say-on-Pay vote was approved by over 90% of the shares present in person by participation or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and entitled to vote on the proposal. Balanced Compensation We balance executives' short-term and long-term compensation to discourage short-term risk taking at the expense of long-term results. Double-Trigger Change-in-Control Our compensation program imposes a double-trigger for

equity incentive awards which do not vest solely upon a change-in-control, but also require a qualifying termination of employment following a change-in-control. Independent Compensation Consultant We engage an independent compensation consultant who acts as independent advisor to the Leadership and Compensation Committee on executive leadership and Board of Directors compensation matters, and other compensation matters under the purview of the Leadership and Compensation Committee, and from time to time provides advice on best practices for compensation matters unrelated to our Executive Leadership Team or Directors.

**Proposal 1: Election of Directors**

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

Our Board of Directors has nominated the following individuals to be members of our Board of Directors for their strong character and

business acumen and because we believe they embody the values at the core of our culture: service, truth, and respect, and have the

ability to help the Company grow and improve.

For a three-year term expiring on the date of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2029:

• Mr. Eleuthère I. du Pont

• Ms. Michelle Hong

• Mr. David G. Turner

Our Board of Directors consists of 12 members and is divided into three "classes," with each class serving for a term of three years.

Four directors have terms that expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Ms. Nancy J. Foster will not be standing for reelection, as a result,

following the Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors will consist of 11 members.

Each of the nominees are current directors of WSFS and have been recommended by the Governance and Nominating Committee. We

provide more information about our directors and director nominees on the following pages. Currently, all directors of WSFS also serve

as directors of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB ("WSFS Bank" or the "Bank").

**ABOUT YOUR VOTE**

• The election of each nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the nominees who receive the

greatest number of votes are elected.

• We permit cumulative voting for the election of directors, meaning that if, for example, there are three seats up for election in a given

class, if you own 100 shares, you have 300 votes to distribute among the nominees as you see fit. You can distribute them equally

and cast 100 votes for each nominee or you may give more votes to certain nominees, even giving all 300 votes to a single nominee

if you wish. Refer to the section titled "Meeting and Other Information" for more information about how to exercise cumulative voting

rights.

• Executed proxies received from holders of common stock of WSFS will be voted for the election of such nominees unless marked to

the contrary.

• If any nominee becomes unable to serve, which is not anticipated, the proxy will be voted for a substitute nominee to be designated

by our Board of Directors or the number of directors will be reduced.

• Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as present for quorum purposes only and will not be counted as either an affirmative

vote or a negative vote regarding the election of directors, and therefore, will have no effect on the election of directors.

• The proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

**Our Director Nomination and Selection Process**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for <br>identifying and recommending qualified individuals as candidates <br>for membership on our Board of Directors. It solicits <br>recommendations from our officers, and also considers and <br>evaluates candidates recommended by our stockholders. For <br>more information on how to submit a recommendation for a <br>director candidate, see "Meeting and Other Information".<br>After reviewing the recommendations of the Governance and <br>Nominating Committee, our Board of Directors considers the <br>individuals' qualifications and nominates the candidates for your <br>consideration.<br>Our Board of Directors and the Governance and Nominating <br>Committee considers:<br>•Our Board of Directors' current makeup to assure director <br>candidates possess a wide range of leadership <br>accomplishments, skills, knowledge, and experience <br>described in the proxy summary section;<br>•Directors' and nominees' knowledge about the business <br>activities and market areas in which we and our subsidiaries <br>engage;<br>•Whether a candidate possesses a breadth of knowledge and <br>experience to enable him or her to make a meaningful <br>contribution to the governance of a complex, multibillion-dollar <br>financial institution;<br>•Corporate values and culture, including diverse perspectives, <br>experiences, and backgrounds; and<br>•Candidates' prominence in their fields and management <br>experience. <br>The Governance and Nominating Committee engages a third-<br>party consulting firm to assist in identifying future nominees to <br>help build a more well-rounded Board of Directors with the <br>appropriate expertise and talents that will continue to contribute <br>to the success of WSFS. This consultant also assists with <br>evaluating, interviewing and performing reference checks on <br>potential nominees to our Board of Directors. Our consultant <br>receives compensation for this service depending on the <br>parameters of the research and the number of nominees. The <br>candidates are then evaluated against the anticipated skills and <br>experience needed on our Board of Directors.<br>| **Independence**<br>We believe it is important to have a strong Board of Directors <br>comprised of a majority of independent directors that is <br>accountable to our stockholders. Consistent with Nasdaq Stock <br>Market ("Nasdaq") director independence listing standards, our <br>Board Principles and Guidelines and SEC requirements, our <br>Board of Directors carefully evaluates any circumstances, <br>transactions or relationships that we believe could have an <br>impact on whether or not the members of our Board of Directors <br>are independent of us and our subsidiaries, including the Bank, <br>and are able to conduct their duties and responsibilities as <br>directors without any personal interests that would interfere or <br>conflict with those duties and responsibilities. A director will be <br>considered independent if our Board of Directors has <br>affirmatively determined (i) that the director does not have a <br>direct or indirect material relationship with WSFS as a partner, <br>stockholder, or Associate of either WSFS or another related <br>entity and (ii) that there are no other factors that would interfere <br>with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying <br>out the responsibilities of a director.<br>Our Board of Directors carefully considers all relevant <br>information when determining independence status, including, <br>but not limited to, banking, employment, compensation, <br>consulting fees, advisory fees, related organizations, charitable <br>contributions, board and committee positions (both at WSFS and <br>other companies), affiliations, commercial transactions, <br>relationships with our auditor, payments for property or services <br>and other relationships and transactions involving each director <br>or immediate family member and their related interests and the <br>Company.<br>Other than Mr. Levenson, our Board of Directors has determined <br>that each director who either served on the Board of Directors <br>during the year ended December 31, 2025, or currently serves <br>on our Board of Directors, including each nominee, is <br>independent under Nasdaq director independence listing <br>standards.<br>|

C = Chair

(1) The Bank and the Holding Company each maintain their own Executive Committee, and both committees consist of the same members.

(2) Ms. Foster will not seek reelection to our Board of Directors.

(3) Ms. Hong joined the Board in December 2025 and became a member of the Risk Committee and the Wealth Management Fiduciary Committee effective March 1, 2026.

(4) During 2025, Mr. Levenson routinely attended Governance and Nominating, Audit, Wealth Management Fiduciary Audit, and Leadership and Compensation Committee meetings at the discretion and invitation of the committee chairs for the purpose of providing his institutional knowledge and insight. He did not attend executive sessions or discussions that were related to him and does not have voting rights.

**Committee Membership**

The Governance and Nominating Committee makes recommendations to our Board of Directors for appointments to the committees of

our Board of Directors, taking into consideration recommendations from our Chairman. All committees must be comprised of at least

three directors, and directors may serve on more than one committee. Our Board of Directors makes a final appointment after a majority

decision is reached. Each Committee elects its Chair in a process overseen by the Governance and Nominating Committee. While the

Audit Committee, Leadership and Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee are fully independent, all

other committees of our Board of Directors should have a majority of independent directors. Generally, independent directors should

serve on a balanced number of committees. All directors should rotate and serve on all committees (other than the three core

committees that are completely independent), including at least one to two years on the Executive Committee. However, the

Governance and Nominating Committee may rotate standing committee members periodically.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Board of Directors Role in Risk Management** <br>**Oversight**<br>As described in greater detail in the description of each <br>committee's role and responsibilities and the committee's <br>charter, our Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of <br>material risks to our operations, including those related to <br>sustainability. The Risk Committee reports regularly to the Board <br>of Directors on its activities with respect to oversight of risk <br>management. Our Board of Directors is responsible for the <br>oversight of the management of our risk exposures to help <br>ensure that the Company is operating within risk appetites <br>approved by our Board of Directors. Comprehensive discussions <br>regarding our appetite for risk and our risk exposures are held <br>with our Board of Directors, the Risk Committee and our <br>Executive Leadership Team. As a result of this involvement, our <br>Board of Directors has concluded that the risk implicit in our <br>strategic plan is appropriate and that expected risks are <br>commensurate with the expected rewards. Our Board of <br>Directors oversees and reviews management's implementation <br>of systems to manage these risks.<br>The risk management system is designed to inform our Board of <br>Directors of material risks and create an appropriate enterprise-<br>wide culture of risk awareness. Our Board of Directors <br>periodically receives reports and other information on areas of <br>material risk to the Company, including credit, liquidity, market/<br>interest rate, compliance, operational, technology, cybersecurity, <br>strategic, financial and reputational risks. These reports enable <br>our Board of Directors to understand the risk identification, risk <br>management and risk mitigation strategies employed by <br>management.<br>The ERM function assists management by establishing a unified <br>and strategic approach to identifying and managing current and <br>future risks. ERM helps monitor, measure, manage and report <br>these risks while continually evaluating our risk/reward dynamic.<br>The ERM activities include:<br>•Conduct an Enterprise Risk Assessment Summary ("RAS") in <br>accordance with the Office of the Comptroller of the <br>Currency's RAS matrix and industry best practices and update <br>the RAS quarterly;<br>•Establish risk appetite statements and key risk indicators by <br>risk area as approved by the Risk Committee;<br>•Monitor risk metrics ("Key Risk Indicators" or "KRIs") and <br>report to Executive Leadership Team and our Board of <br>Directors quarterly;<br>•Oversee operational risk management;<br>•Oversee model risk management;<br>•Ensure that stress testing and contingency planning on critical <br>business risks are performed;<br>| •Key involvement with significant new products, services, or <br>activities, as well as conduct resolution and "lessons learned" <br>on major risk events, as needed; and<br>•Continual learning on emerging risks and risk management <br>best practices.<br>**Attendance at Board of Directors, Committee** <br>**Meetings, and Annual Meeting** <br>Our directors are expected to attend at least 75% of Board <br>meetings and committee meetings on which they serve. During <br>the year ended December 31, 2025, our Board of Directors held <br>7 meetings. Each of our Directors attended at least 75% of both <br>the Board and committee meetings in 2025. All directors are <br>expected to attend the Annual Meeting except for absences due <br>to causes beyond their reasonable control. All directors were <br>present at last year's Annual Meeting. <br>**Board Refreshment and Succession** <br>**Philosophy** <br>We believe that one of the most important responsibilities of a <br>high-performing board of directors is ensuring that it actively <br>plans for and accomplishes its own succession. Our Board of <br>Directors actively participates in the succession planning <br>process by reviewing the structure and needs of our Board of <br>Directors annually or more often as the need arises, so that we <br>continue to build a Board of Directors with a wide range of <br>expertise and talents that will continue to contribute to the <br>success of WSFS. Our Board of Directors does not believe in <br>setting term limits for directors because directors who still meet <br>the qualifications for Board membership and still possess <br>industry knowledge and expertise are valuable to WSFS and our <br>Board of Directors. Each Board member understands that the <br>rest of our Board of Directors will actively consider his or her <br>reappointment at the end of his or her current term. Through this <br>performance-based process, our Board of Directors seeks to <br>ensure that it retains active, independent, and knowledgeable <br>directors who maintain a collegial perspective. In addition, <br>directors will be assessed annually to ensure they still meet the <br>qualifications for Board membership. We believe that relatively <br>smaller boards (while still of ample size) are generally more <br>effective than relatively larger boards and sets the organizational <br>tone for a lower internal cost structure in an industry that is <br>continuously challenged by growing cost burdens and significant <br>pricing competition. Our Board size also fits with one of our key <br>strategic advantages, namely, faster and more entrepreneurial <br>decision-making. Our continual refreshment of our Board of <br>Directors membership and periods of transition related to merger <br>and acquisition activities may result in short-term increases <br>above what our Board of Directors has identified as the optimal <br>long-term size range, which is 10 to 12 directors.<br>|

| **CEO and Management Succession** <br>**Planning**<br>Management believes our Associates are the core of our <br>strategy, the lifeblood of our culture, and our greatest competitive <br>advantage. Overseeing talent is a serious responsibility and one <br>that receives ongoing, focused attention of our team. Our CEO <br>takes primary responsibility for management succession and <br>because planning leadership succession is of critical importance, <br>it is a shared responsibility among our Executive Leadership <br>Team with oversight from our Board of Directors. At least semi-<br>annually, our Executive Leadership Team conducts an extensive <br>assessment of our Associates to identify internal talent, plan for <br>their development, and identify potential successors to ensure <br>the continued, smooth operations of WSFS and to transfer <br>institutional knowledge.<br>The Governance and Nominating Committee works with the <br>Board of Directors on CEO succession and annually reviews, <br>evaluates and provides guidance to our CEO and Executive <br>Leadership Team on talent development, leadership progression, <br>and succession planning.<br>**Classified Board Structure** <br>Our Board of Directors regularly reviews the subject of a <br>classified Board of Directors. In considering a classified board, <br>our Governance and Nominating Committee and full Board of <br>Directors weigh various stockholders' issues with the high <br>engagement and institutional knowledge of our Board of <br>Directors that provides continuity of a high-performing <br>engagement model for our management team. We believe that a <br>classified board creates alignment between our corporate <br>governance principles and guidelines and the stated philosophy <br>of managing our Company for the long-term benefit of all <br>stakeholders.<br>While we believe that the evaluation of the Board of Directors <br>and management should be ultimately based on the <br>performance of the Company, we also recognize that our <br>classified board structure can create the appearance of <br>entrenchment on the part of our Board of Directors. As a result, <br>we have cumulative voting of shares in the election of directors, <br>which affords stockholders the ability to concentrate their votes <br>on a single director nominee, thereby providing a means to have <br>their voice(s) heard directly at our Board of Directors table after a <br>director election.<br>Finally, if there is a need for a stockholder-initiated change to our <br>Board of Directors, there is an opportunity to change <br>approximately one-third of our board membership at each <br>stockholders meeting where directors are elected. If those new <br>directors for some reason cannot make the case clear to the "old <br>board," then at the next election, stockholders can change <br>another third of our Board of Directors. That would give a <br>majority of our Board of Directors to new representation. We <br>think this kind of change, in much less than a two-year period, <br>appropriately balances stockholders' interests in the ability to <br>send a clear signal of a need for change with the need to <br>maintain the stability and the continuity of the Company.<br>| **Director Resignation Policy in** <br>**Uncontested Elections**<br>In an uncontested election, it is our policy that nominees who <br>receive less than a majority of total votes cast in favor of their <br>election should promptly offer to resign from our Board of <br>Directors. The Board of Directors has the discretion to accept or <br>reject their resignation offer. The Governance and Nominating <br>Committee will consider resignation offers and make its <br>recommendation to the entire Board of Directors. Our policy <br>provides that our Board of Directors will accept or reject each <br>director's resignation offer within 90 days of the date the <br>resignation offer is submitted.<br>**Director Service on Other Boards**<br>Our directors do not serve on the boards of other public <br>companies if the service impedes the director's ability to <br>effectively serve on WSFS' Board of Directors or creates any <br>potential material conflicts. Directors need written approval from <br>our Board of Directors before serving on the boards of other <br>public companies. Including our Board of Directors, no director <br>may serve on the boards of more than three public companies or <br>no more than two public companies for a director who is also the <br>CEO. Any such service is subject to any required regulatory <br>approval or waivers.<br>**Board Evaluation**<br>Annually, the Board of Directors conducts a self-evaluation to <br>assess its performance, evaluating the members of the Board of <br>Directors collectively and individually. In most years, this is a <br>self-directed process; however, every third year, the Board of <br>Directors engages a third-party consultant to conduct the <br>evaluation, which provides an outside perspective and insights <br>on the performance and functioning of our Board of Directors. <br>This third-party evaluation last occurred in 2024 as part of the <br>three-year cycle.<br>|

| **Executive Sessions**<br>Our independent directors have the opportunity to meet in <br>executive session at each Board of Directors committee meeting <br>and each Board of Directors meeting without non-independent <br>directors or management present. These sessions are presided <br>over by the Lead Independent Director and include discussions <br>about CEO performance, compensation for non-independent <br>directors, and other relevant board and committee matters. In <br>addition, at least twice per year, independent directors have <br>regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent <br>directors are present and all independent directors are able to <br>request additional independent directors' sessions or meetings <br>throughout the year.<br>**Board of Directors' Principles and** <br>**Guidelines**<br>In addition to directives laid out through the various committee <br>charters, our Board of Directors has adopted a set of principles <br>and guidelines, which guide their actions and direction. The <br>Governance and Nominating Committee reviews these principles <br>and guidelines regularly. A full copy of the Principles and <br>Guidelines of our Board of Directors is available on the <br>Company's website www.wsfsbank.com (select "Investor <br>Relations" on the menu found under "About" and click on <br>"Governance" and then "Highlights").<br>| **Access to and Communication with our** <br>**Board of Directors**<br>Our Annual Report contains a letter cosigned by our Chairman, <br>President and CEO and our Lead Independent Director. It is <br>available on our website www.wsfsbank.com (select "Investor <br>Relations" on the menu found under "About" and click on <br>"Financials," then "Annual Reports & Proxy". This letter provides <br>additional insight on corporate governance and key philosophies <br>that guide our Board of Directors' oversight of the Company.<br>Our Board of Directors also provides access and outreach to <br>stockholders through a number of other forums and strongly <br>encourages communications from stockholders. Stockholders <br>are provided regular updates through press releases and other <br>filings with the SEC. Our Board of Directors also solicits dialogue <br>and responds to questions from stockholders at the Annual <br>Meeting. Questions can be asked in person or submitted through <br>email at stockholderrelations@wsfsbank.com or by writing to <br>WSFS Financial Corporation, Investor Relations, WSFS Bank <br>Center, 500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.<br>During the year, stockholders who wish to send communications <br>to the Board of Directors may do so by writing to the attention of <br>Rodger Levenson, Chairman, WSFS Bank Center, 500 Delaware <br>Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. Communications sent to <br>Mr. Levenson are relayed to the rest of the Board of Directors. <br>Additionally, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and/or Lead <br>Independent Director periodically attends investor conferences <br>and other roadshows to solicit feedback on corporate <br>governance from institutional stockholders.<br>|

## Compensation of our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors' philosophy is to maintain director compensation near the median of annual compensation levels for our CPG.

We discuss the process for selection and use of our custom CPG later in the proxy under the section entitled Peer Group. The

Governance and Nominating Committee reviews Board of Directors' compensation and committee fees annually and makes

recommendations for adjustments when and where they feel appropriate. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages

an independent consultant to review director compensation levels in the market every two years. The Governance and Nominating

Committee reviewed the independent consultant's analysis in 2025 and approved increases to director compensation that will take

effect in July 2026.

**Director Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan**

We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our Board of Directors. This program allows for retainer and meeting fees to

be deferred. It offers pre-tax, voluntary contributions, tax deferred earnings, investment choices and flexible payment options. The plan

is solely funded by the participant, and while the Company has discretion to make employer contributions, it has not exercised its

discretion to do so for directors. The plan was reviewed and approved by our Leadership and Compensation Committee and our Board

of Directors.

**Director Compensation Table**

The compensation paid to directors during 2025 is summarized in the following table. Mr. Levenson is not shown in this table because

he is compensated as an officer and did not receive any additional director compensation.

**Proposal 2: Advisory Vote on NEO Compensation**

**EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

We are seeking advisory (non-binding) stockholder approval of the compensation of our NEOs. This proposal gives you as a

stockholder the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our NEO compensation program through the following resolution:

"Resolved, that the stockholders approve the compensation of WSFS Financial Corporation's named executive officers, as disclosed

pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure shall include the CD&A,

the compensation tables and any related material) in this proxy statement."

**ABOUT OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM**

Our stockholders approved our 2025 "say-on-pay" vote, which we believe reflected the strength of our corporate governance program

and its alignment with our executive compensation program. Our executive compensation and corporate governance programs include:

• Proactive stockholder outreach;

• Company performance aligned with stockholder interests for long-term stockholder value creation;

• Effective Proxy Statement compensation disclosure;

• Clawback of cash and equity-based incentive compensation for executives; and

• Double-trigger equity awards in the event of a change of control

This "say-on-pay" proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our NEOs. This vote is

not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather our overall compensation philosophy and objectives with respect

to our NEOs. Accordingly, your vote will not directly affect or otherwise limit any existing compensation or award arrangement of any of

our NEOs.

Our Board of Directors believes that the compensation of our NEOs is appropriate and should be approved on an advisory basis by the

Company's stockholders as more particularly outlined in the Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.

**ABOUT YOUR VOTE**

• The advisory proposal relating to executive compensation must receive a favorable vote of a majority of the shares present in

person by participation at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal to be approved.

• Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of

the proposal.

• As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon our Board of Directors or the Company. The Leadership and

Compensation Committee, however, values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will

consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for NEOs.

**Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis**

In this Executive Compensation Discussion & Analysis ("CD&A"), we explain our 2025 compensation program for our Executive

Leadership Team, including our CEO, our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") role and our three highest paid other executive officers listed

below. Our Leadership and Compensation Committee has designed our executive compensation program to reflect our pay-for-

performance philosophy, with oversight from our Board of Directors and guidance and assistance from its independent compensation

consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook"). Principally, our executive compensation program is designed to align the

interests of senior leadership with our stockholders and our long-term success.

**Summary**

In 2025, we compensated our executive officers using a combination of base salary and both short-term and long-term incentive awards

for their performance. Under the Executive Leadership Team Incentive Plan ("ELTIP"), we award a mix of service-based equity grants,

in the form of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), performance-based equity grants, in the form of Performance Stock Units ("PSUs"), as

well as cash-based incentives to our executive officers on an annual basis, as described further in this CD&A. We believe that a mix of

short-term and long-term award opportunities will appropriately compensate and reward executive officers for both near-term results

and for creating long-term sustainability.

**How Executive Compensation Decisions Are Made**

Compensation decisions are made by our Leadership and Compensation Committee, considering input from management, FW Cook,

and our stockholders (vis-à-vis say-on-pay votes), and through examination of compensation practices of a CPG, identified in

consultation with FW Cook, that we believe is representative of those companies with whom we compete for talent. These varying roles

are each described below.

**Elements of Compensation**

Our long-term financial objective is to be a sustainable, high-performing company, and we have designed our compensation practices <br>toward attracting and retaining high-quality Associates and motivating and rewarding them for strong performance and creating <br>alignment with the interests of our stockholders. The components of 2025 executive compensation were base salary, short-term cash <br>incentive awards, long-term equity incentive awards and other benefits. The Leadership and Compensation Committee also has the <br>authority to exercise discretion during the course of the year and consider discretionary bonuses, on a case-by-case basis. The <br>Leadership and Compensation Committee did not approve any discretionary bonuses in 2025.<br>As reflected in the charts below, 80% of our CEO's target total 2025 compensation was variable or "at risk," and an average of 64% of <br>our other NEOs' target total 2025 compensation was variable or "at risk." We believe the mix of compensation elements paid to our <br>executive officers incentivizes the strong performance needed to meet our objectives. In the following section, we describe these <br>elements of our executive compensation, including how we determine the amounts for each element, why each element is included in <br>our executive compensation program and the actual payments resulting from our pay-for-performance incentive programs.<br>

They award opportunities utilizing <br>individual and Company-wide goals. Except for our CEO, 80% of each <br>executive's STI is based on a Company-wide performance score and <br>20% is based on individual performance. The CEO's STI is based <br>entirely on the Company-wide performance score.

The <br>Strategic Metric was based on results of Associate engagement and <br>Company culture, community impact as measured through corporate <br>volunteer hours and executive management's leadership and direction <br>during the rollout of the 2025-2027 strategic plan.

RSUs are <br>in the form of restricted stock units that generally vest in equal <br>installments over three years.

Our intent is that management's long-term <br>interests with respect to earning and vesting shares are aligned with the <br>long-term interests of our shareholders.<br>|

**Short-Term Cash Incentive Compensation Determination Process**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <br>**Company-wide** <br>**Performance** <br>**Goals**<br>| Annually, the Leadership and Compensation Committee reviews our metrics and establishes Company-wide <br>targets on the chosen metrics. In selecting the metrics, the Leadership and Compensation Committee <br>considers our short-term and long-term business strategy, the current business environment, and the interests <br>of stockholders.<br>The Company reviews and adjusts, as necessary, performance metrics at the onset of a new performance <br>period. This review process helps ensure that Company-wide goals used for incentive plans support the <br>Company's overall strategy, accommodate any shifts in strategy from year-to-year or during market changes <br>and reflect past experiences and best practices. The Leadership and Compensation Committee has discretion <br>to modify awards, including downward if appropriate. Examples of potential events or factors that Leadership <br>and Compensation Committee may consider in reducing or eliminating awards include but are not limited to: <br>downgrading of the Bank's regulatory examination results, imposition of regulatory enforcement actions, or <br>excessive non-performing assets.<br>|
| <br>**Individual** <br>**Performance** <br>**Goals**<br>| Annually, each executive officer (other than the CEO, whose short-term incentive award is based solely on <br>company-wide performance) develops individual performance goals for the year consistent with that year's <br>financial plan, the current three-year strategic plan, and their personal professional growth.<br>Through an iterative, collaborative process, the executive officers and the CEO agree to the final individual <br>performance goals. Individual performance goals are tailored to each executive officer's function and particular <br>area of responsibility, and may cover a wide variety of performance measures, including, but not limited to, <br>financial performance, customer engagement, operational milestones, and other matters.<br>|
| <br>**Weighting the** <br>**Goals**<br>| Subject to final approval by our Board of Directors, the Leadership and Compensation Committee has final <br>discretion to determine the amounts of final award payouts to all our executive officers, with the exception of <br>the CEO, which is at the recommendation of the Leadership and Compensation Committee and at the final <br>discretion of the Board of Directors.<br>Weighting percentage for short-term cash incentives is 80% for Company-wide performance and 20% for <br>individual performance determined by measures and objectives established in discussion with the CEO. The <br>CEO's performance is based completely on the Company-wide performance.<br>The Leadership and Compensation Committee believes that the more senior the rank of the executive, the <br>more responsibility that executive has for Company-wide performance. As a result, as seniority increases, the <br>weighting of Company-wide performance measurement criteria compared to individual performance criteria <br>generally also increases, such that Company-wide performance plays a larger role in determining the amount <br>of incentive awards provided to such executives. Similarly, individual and business unit performance goals play <br>a larger role in determining the amount of the incentive award for less senior executives as compared to overall <br>Company-wide performance.<br>|

**Peer Group**

Periodically, the Leadership and Compensation Committee engages its third-party compensation consultant to conduct a formal review

of our executive compensation program. The Leadership and Compensation Committee requests these reviews to assess competitive

compensation levels for Executive Leadership and the alignment of base compensation, incentives, and equity awards with our

compensation philosophy. As part of this process, the Leadership and Compensation Committee reviews the programs and practices of

a custom CPG, in addition to other relevant market compensation data sources. In selecting comparable companies for inclusion in the

CPG, we consider a number of factors including SEC-reporting status, listing on a major stock exchange, and location; along with

measures of company size including total assets, revenues, market capitalization, size of workforce, etc. Our intent is that WSFS rank

near the middle of the peer group when multiple size factors are considered. We update our CPG as an integral step in conducting

formal reviews of marketplace compensation levels and practices.

Based on data obtained from S&P Global, our ending assets were below the 50th percentile of the CPG; while our revenues, market

capitalization, and workforce size all ranked at or above the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile. We also note that our reported return on assets of 1.36%

ranked at 75th percentile of companies in the CPG, which supports our long-term top-quintile performance philosophy.

Listed below are members of our 2025 CPG along with individual company data. Results shown in the table below are as of December

31, 2025. Results shown in the table below are as of December 31, 2025, unless indicated otherwise in the accompanying footnotes.

**Executive Leadership Team Incentive Plan**

Under the ELTIP for 2025, our executives were eligible for both short-term cash incentive awards and long-term equity incentive awards

in the form of time-vested RSUs and performance-based PSUs.

**2025 ELTIP Determination Process — Short-Term Incentives**

We designed the short-term cash portion of the ELTIP to reward executives for excellence in performance on key financial and strategic

metrics determined by our Board of Directors and the Leadership and Compensation Committee.

The Leadership and Compensation Committee selected Adjusted ROA, Adjusted ROTCE, Adjusted EPS, and a Strategic Performance

metric as the Company-wide performance measures for the short-term cash incentive awards under the ELTIP for 2025. All three

financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by

other companies. All three financial measures were also subject to adjustment based on the quality of earnings review described below.

For the Strategic Performance metric, the Leadership and Compensation Committee identified and evaluated Associate engagement

and Company culture, community impact and executive management's direction and leadership rolling out the 2025-2027 strategic

plan. For individual performance and contribution, our CEO collaborates with and sets individual performance goals for our Executive

Vice Presidents who form part of our Executive Leadership Team (each, an "EVP") which include specific operational and performance

metrics pertinent to each EVP's area of responsibility. Examples of these individual performance goals are asset quality metrics, service

level agreement performance, area specific growth initiatives and strategic planning.

Our ELTIP design also incorporates the following:

• A "quality of earnings review" used to consider adjustments from GAAP reported earnings to ELTIP earnings;

• Award opportunities based on specified percentages of base salary for threshold, target, and maximum achievement by

executive officers; and

• A proportional approach (interpolation) used to calculate incentive payouts for the performance results that fall between

threshold, target and maximum levels.

**2025 Quality of Earnings Review**

In connection with administering the short-term cash incentive component of the ELTIP, the Leadership and Compensation Committee

conducts a "quality of earnings" review under which it evaluates any unusual, one-time items generally greater than $5.0 million, after

tax, that impact cash, equity and earnings, and considers them for adjustments for the purposes of calculating relevant performance

measures. Any "quality of earnings" evaluations are made with a strong bias towards ensuring that management is accountable for

reported results.

For 2025, the Leadership and Compensation Committee's review concluded that certain items should be excluded from our reported

earnings for the purposes of calculating Adjusted ROA, Adjusted ROTCE, and Adjusted EPS as it relates to the ELTIP STI.

Fee revenue was adjusted by a total of $7.0 million (pre-tax) for the following items:

• Excludes $4.1 million impairment loss on one of our equity investments;

• Excludes $3.9 million net loss on our Visa B derivative liability established from our previous sale of 360,000 shares in 2Q 2020;

• Excludes $1.0 million gain on sale of equity investments related to the sale of Spring EQ.

Expenses were adjusted by a total of $2.0 million (pre-tax) for the following items:

• Excludes $1.5 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, primarily related to accelerated costs from the redemption of $150

million of Senior Notes due 2030;

• Excludes $0.5 million of corporate development and restructuring expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The total impact of the above items adjusted the income tax provision by $2.1 million.

As a result, solely for the purpose of determining achievement in 2025 of the Company-wide performance measures under the Quality

of Earnings methodology, our Adjusted ROA, Adjusted ROTCE, and Adjusted EPS were adjusted up from their GAAP equivalents to

1.39%, 17.96%, and $5.21, respectively. The following table shows our 2025 adjusted results.

Our ELTIP STI performance rating is calculated from the equally weighted results for Adjusted ROA, Adjusted ROTCE, Adjusted EPS

and Strategic Performance against each participant's pre-established performance targets. These results are interpolated based on a

performance score of 1 for "Threshold", 2 for "Target", and 3 for "Maximum."

(2) Adjusted ROA, Adjusted ROTCE and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered along with results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and not as a substitute for GAAP results. Additional details can be found in "*Appendix A – Non-GAAP Reconciliations.*"

**Strategic Performance**

As described earlier, the Leadership and Compensation Committee identified and evaluated three components in the Strategic

Performance metric: Associate engagement and Company culture, community impact and the rollout of the 2025-2027 strategic plan.

The weighted score of Strategic Performance metric was at Target+.

Based on the Company's achievement in 2025 against the three performance metrics and the continued leadership and strategic

direction provided by the Executive Leadership Team during the year, the Leadership and Compensation Committee granted and our

Board of Directors approved a short-term cash incentive award to our CEO in an amount equal to 154% of base salary (140% of his

target incentive of 110% of salary). The CEO's short-term cash award is based on 100% of the aforementioned company performance

metrics. The other NEOs' short-term cash awards have an 80% Company performance and 20% individual performance weighting,

which resulted in payouts averaging 89% of base salary (135% of their target incentive of 66% of salary).

(1) Excludes one-time cash payments.

**Long-Term Equity Incentive Award**

Long-term incentive equity is awarded to the CEO and other NEOs in the form of RSUs and PSUs with a 40% and 60% split,

respectively, assuming that PSUs are ultimately earned for 50<sup>th</sup> percentile performance ranking as described below. At target, the grant

date value of awards equal to a percent of base salary is 190% of salary for the CEO and 70% of salary for other NEOs.

The CEO and other NEOs were awarded RSUs and PSUs based on the calculations described below. In addition, PSUs were granted

at the target level based on the calculations described below, and subject to adjustments based on performance over the three-year

performance period.

**RSU Grant Details**

RSUs are generally granted with the grant date value equal to a percent of base salary divided by the share price on the grant date.

The grant date value equals 76% of salary for the CEO and 28% of salary for other NEOs. RSUs vest in equal annual installments

generally over three years.

**PSU Grant Details**

The maximum number of PSUs that can be earned by the CEO and other NEOs is 200% of their target grant. For NEOs, the calculation

is based on 84% of the salary of each NEO. Actual PSUs earned for the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2027 are

based on the Company's cumulative Adjusted ROA. The Company's results are compared to the performance of companies in the KRX

index to determine our percentile ranking. If the Company's performance ranking is at the 25th, 50th, 75th or 100th percentiles,

grantees will receive 50%, 100%, 150% or 200% of their target PSUs, respectively. If performance ranks below the 25<sup>th</sup> percentile, no

PSUs are earned. Interpolation is used to determine the number of PSUs earned for a ranking between the 25<sup>th</sup> and 100<sup>th</sup> percentiles.

Earned PSUs are also subject to cliff-vesting at the end of the performance period.

The below table reflects the NEO's long-term equity incentive opportunity under the ELTIP as a percent of his or her base salary.

**2023 PSU Awards Performance Results**

In February 2023, we issued the 2023 PSU Awards based upon a three-year performance period that concluded on December 31,

2025. These awards were measured using the Company's cumulative Adjusted ROA as a percentile of the KRX Index. The below table

reflects the earned amount of the 2023 PSU Awards at the 76<sup>th</sup> percentile, or a Target+ rating.

**Compensation Risk Assessment**

The CEO, Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Risk Officer and the Leadership and Compensation Committee, with advice from its

compensation consultant, have reviewed the Summary Incentive Compensation Review containing a description of all compensation

components for each executive officer, including base salary, incentive compensation and all of our incentive compensation plans. They

have determined that the compensation packages awarded to our executive officers, and others, are consistent with our goals to

provide compensation that is competitive with our peers, that drives financial performance without undue risk, and aligns the interests of

our executive officers, and others, with those of our stockholders. In addition, during 2025, the Leadership and Compensation

Committee reviewed an analysis of all incentive plans conducted by our Chief Risk Officer and concluded that our compensation

program is balanced and does not encourage imprudent risk taking. Accordingly, we believe our executive and management

compensation plans are reasonable, pay-for-performance-based, competitive, not excessive, and do not encourage our executives or

any of our Associates to take actions that pose an unnecessary or excessive risk that would threaten the value of our Company and do

not unnecessarily expose our Company to risks or encourage the manipulation of reported earnings to enhance the compensation of

management.

The Leadership and Compensation Committee awards equity grants annually, generally at its February meeting. Grants may be

recommended at other times during the year for special circumstances, such as the hiring of a new executive.

WSFS did not, during the year ended December 31, 2025, grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar

option-like instruments and does not have a current practice of doing so. Accordingly, it does not have a policy on the timing of awards

of such instruments in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information. In the event WSFS determines to grant new awards

of such instruments, the Board expects to evaluate appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing. WSFS has not timed the

disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

**Benefits**

**401(k) Employer Contribution**

We provide a 401(k) program that allows Associates to contribute a portion of their pre- and after-tax earnings towards retirement

savings. We offer a Company match to all Associates enrolled in our 401(k) plan as a component of total compensation and encourage

them to participate in the 401(k) program. We match the first 5% of an Associate's contribution dollar-for-dollar up to IRS limitations.

**Development Allowance**

We provide a Development Allowance to our executive officers that provides up to $35,000 per year for the CEO and up to $12,500 per

year for the Executive Leadership Team. These amounts reflect our growth and executive involvement in expanded markets. Allowable

expenses under the Development Allowance include items that improve an executive's networking and business development

prospects, personal health, time management and general well-being in a way that can reasonably be expected to result in

improvements to their productivity as one of our executives. CEO expenditures must be approved by the Lead Independent Director.

Expenditures by EVPs must be approved by the CEO.

**Relocation Benefits**

Separate from the above allowance, executives who are recruited from outside our market may be reimbursed for costs associated with

their transitional relocation.

**Retirement Plans**

We do not maintain a tax-qualified non-contributory retirement plan (pension plan). However, we do provide continuation of medical

benefits to Associates, including our executive officers, who retire, should they elect to participate in the benefit. We provide

supplemental contributions toward retiree continuing medical coverage costs. For 2025, our contribution towards this supplement was

capped at $4,676 per retiree but may have been less based on length of service at time of retirement of each retiree, irrespective of

annual increases to the cost of the medical benefit premium. We limit our increases to no more than 4% annually.

**Employment Agreements**

Because of our corporate philosophy which emphasizes commitment based on performance, we do not have employment agreements

for our NEOs. We have a formal severance policy for our Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice Presidents who report to him, and

other individuals who serve critical roles as identified by the CEO and approved by the Leadership and Compensation Committee,

which provides payments to NEOs if their employment is terminated without cause or under certain conditions following a change in

control. Further details concerning the severance policy are provided in the section entitled "Potential Payments upon Termination or

Change in Control."

## Executive Compensation Policies
**Clawback Policy**

The Leadership and Compensation Committee reserves the right to recover ("clawback") any covered incentives that were paid due to

fraudulent activity, inaccurate performance criteria or reporting, or errors in financial statements that are required to be restated. Our

clawback policy covers time- and performance-based equity awards and cash incentive compensation. The SEC adopted final rules

implementing the incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Nasdaq has adopted listing standards

consistent with the SEC rules, effective as of October 2023. In compliance with those standards, the Board of Directors approved a

Compensation Clawback Policy in August 2023 in general alignment with the SEC clawback rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Our

Board of Directors has the sole authority to interpret, apply and implement this policy. Under this policy, the Leadership and

Compensation Committee may require executive officers, within the meaning of Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act, who were employed

by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during the applicable recovery period, to forfeit and reimburse any bonus, award or

incentive compensation paid under a benefit plan to the extent that such bonus, award or incentive compensation was due to or was

based on statements of earnings, revenues, gains, the performance metric criteria of a benefit plan or other criteria that were later found

to be materially inaccurate by the Leadership and Compensation Committee. Executive officers are subject to clawback provisions in

the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance by the Company during the

three completed fiscal years preceding the date the restatement is determined to be filed. In such event, the Leadership and

Compensation Committee will conduct a review of awards covered by the policy and recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based

compensation to ensure that the ultimate payout gives retroactive effect to the financial results as restated. In addition, if an executive

officer engages in misconduct that, in our Board of Directors' discretion, directly or indirectly causes a material adverse effect to the

Company, our Board of Directors may require forfeiture or reimbursement of time- and performance-based equity and cash awards

during the three-year period preceding the commission of the act of misconduct. Our clawback policy is scheduled to be reviewed again

in 2026.

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

To ensure our named executive officers make a meaningful investment in our common stock to align their economic interest more

closely with those of our shareholders, our Board of Directors has established a minimum stock ownership guideline for the Executive

Leadership Team such that the CEO should own at least 100,000 shares of vested common stock and all EVPs should own at least

15,000 shares of vested common stock, each to be accumulated within five years of assuming his or her executive position. Our

independent members of our Board of Directors are also required to hold a minimum of 6,000 shares of our common stock. These

ownership guidelines are evaluated periodically for appropriate adjustments.

**Insider Trading Policy**

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of WSFS' securities by its directors,

officers, and employees that is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any

listing standards applicable to WSFS. A copy of the Insider Trading Policy was incorporated as Exhibit 19 to our 2025 Annual Report on

Form 10-K.

**Policy Prohibiting Hedging**

Our Insider Trading Policy specifically prohibits WSFS insiders, which are defined as directors, officers holding the title of Senior Vice

President or higher and any other Associates with access to material non-public information, from hedging the risk associated with the

ownership of our common stock.

**Stock Trading Plans**

Our Insider Trading Policy allows for purchases or sales of WSFS' stock made in compliance with a written plan established by a

director, officer or other Associate that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a "Plan") if: (1) the Plan was

established in good faith, in compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, at a time when the individual was not in possession of

material non-public information about WSFS, and, for WSFS Insiders, was established during an open window period for trading in

WSFS' stock and not during any trading "blackout" period; and (2) the Plan was reviewed by the Company's Legal Department prior to

its establishment to confirm compliance with the Insider Trading Policy and its related procedures. No amendments to such Plans are

permitted during blackout periods. From time to time, other WSFS insiders may enter into similar trading plans in accordance with Rule

10b5-1.

**Tax Considerations Related to Our Executive Compensation**

Section 280G of the Code ("Code Section 280G") limits our ability to take a federal income tax deduction for certain compensation that

could be paid to executive officers resulting from a change in control transaction affecting us. In the event we pay any "excess

parachute payments," as defined under Code Section 280G, we would have compensation payments that are not tax deductible under

Code Section 280G and executives would have excise taxes due on the receipt of such "excess parachute payments" under Section

4999 of the Code ("Code Section 4999"). The Leadership and Compensation Committee considers the adverse tax liabilities imposed

by Code Section 280G and Code Section 4999, as well as its overall philosophy and objectives and corporate objectives, when it

structures certain compensation to our executive officers.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

No member of our Leadership and Compensation Committee is, or formerly was, an officer or Associate of ours. During 2025, none of

our executive officers served as a member of a board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more

executives serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Leadership and Compensation Committee.

**Leadership and Compensation Committee Report**

Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, this Compensation Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into

any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")

except to the extent that WSFS Financial Corporation (the "Company") specifically incorporates this information by reference, and

otherwise shall not be deemed "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the SEC, subject to Regulation 14A or 14C of the SEC or subject

to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

The Leadership and Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the CD&A to be included in the

Company's 2026 Proxy Statement filed pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the "Proxy Statement"), including the

information contained therein under the heading "Compensation of Our Board of Directors." Based on the reviews and discussions

referred to above, the committee recommends to our Board of Directors that the CD&A referred to above be included in the Proxy

Statement.

(1) The compensation does not appear in the table above as they were not NEOs during the following years: Ms. Kruzinski, 2023; Mr. Burg, 2023.

(2) Salary reflects the actual amount paid during the year.

(3) The bonus amounts include the following one-time payments in 2025 for discretionary reasons: Mr. Burg received $300,000 in 2025, which represents the remainder of his agreed-upon sign-on bonus. 

(4) Represents the aggregate fair value of awards on the date they were granted in accordance with ASC Topic 718. See the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the assumptions used to calculate grant date fair value. Amounts in this column include the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted in February 2025. Values from the RSUs were as follows: Mr. Levenson $767,154; Mr. Burg, $163,038; Mr. Bacci, $172,184; Ms. Brubaker, $120,566; and Ms. Kruzinski, $115,966. Values from PSUs reflect the grant date value of PSUs awarded in 2025 based on the probable outcome of the associated performance conditions. This amount is calculated consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under ASC Topic 718 (excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures). The calculation results in amounts greater than the target award value under the ELTIP. Based on the closing price of WSFS common stock on the grant date of $53.49 on February 27, 2025, the target award value for PSUs awarded were as follows: Mr. Levenson, $1,150,730; Mr. Burg, $244,556; Mr. Bacci, $258,303; Ms. Brubaker, $180,850; and Ms. Kruzinski, $173,949. If valued assuming a maximum payout, the value of the awards would be: Mr. Levenson, $2,301,460; Mr. Burg, $489,112; Mr. Bacci, $516,606; Ms. Brubaker, $361,700; and Ms. Kruzinski, $347,898.

(5) Represents cash amounts paid as ELTIP short-term incentive awards. 

(6) All Other Compensation includes contributions of $17,500 made by us to the 401(k) plans of each of our NEOs. Includes development allowances for each NEO as follows: Mr. Levenson, $32,655; Mr. Burg, $4,449; Mr. Bacci, $12,500; Ms. Brubaker, $4,757; and Ms. Kruzinski, $12,500. Also includes recognition awards in the form of gift cards provided to NEOs in 2025 in the following amounts: $1,335 for Mr. Burg; $1,361 for Mr. Bacci; $1,331 for Ms. Brubaker; and $1,345 for Ms. Kruzinski. Includes automobile allowance and travel stipends for each NEO as follows: Mr. Levenson $6,000; Messrs. Burg, Bacci and Mses. Brubaker and Kruzinski, $10,100. Includes $18,622 of relocation expenses for Mr. Burg. Health benefits paid directly by the Company are not included in the table above.

**Executive Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation** 

**Plan**

We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our executives. This program allows for base compensation to be deferred, as

well as for deferment of cash awards. It offers pre-tax, voluntary contributions, tax deferred earnings, investment choices and flexible

payment options. The plan is solely funded by the participant, and while the Company has discretion to make employer contributions, it

has not exercised its discretion to do so for NEOs. The plan was reviewed and approved by our Leadership and Compensation

Committee and our Board of Directors. The following table provides information relating to deferrals of compensation by our NEOs

under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

The following table provides information on compensation the NEOs have elected to defer:

**Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in** 

**Control**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| We have adopted a severance policy that provides severance <br>payments upon termination of employment without "Cause" for <br>"Good Reason" (as each term is defined in the policy) for an <br>executive (which includes all of our NEOs) covered by the <br>severance policy.

(1) Non Change in Control: CEO receives 24 months of base salary; EVPs receive 18 months of base salary, as well as 24 and 18 months, respectively, for the CEO's and EVP's employer-portion of premiums for coverage under health plan.

(2) Change in Control without Cause or Good Reason; CEO receives 36 months of base salary plus STI, EVPs receive 24 months of base salary plus STI, as well as 36 and 24 months, respectively, for the CEO and EVP's employer-portion of premiums under health plan. 

(3) Death benefit one times base salary up to maximum of $500,000 provided to all Associates through the Company-paid Term Life and AD&D Insurance, reflected in figures above.

(4) NEOs hired prior to 1/1/2023 are grandfathered two weeks of short-term disability for each year of service up to a maximum of 26 weeks paid at 100% of weekly earnings. Short-term disability benefits for all NEOs hired on or after 1/1/2023 is 66.67% of weekly earnings subject to the plan's maximum weekly benefit of $2,000 for up to 26 weeks. Long-term disability is 60% of monthly earnings and has a $10,000 per month maximum benefit. 

(5) Severance payments following a change in control are subject to reduction if such payments would exceed the deductible limits under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, if such a reduction results in greater after tax net result (a "best net" provision).

(6) Outplacement services amounts are estimates based on management's experience with outplacement providers.

(7) This value includes stock options, RSUs and PSUs. Stock options and RSUs vesting is based on an assumed value of $55.24 per common share reflecting the closing price of WSFS common stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day of 2025. PSUs vesting is based on each award's maximum value for Change in Control without Cause or for Good Reason and PSUs vesting is based on each award's probable value for Non Change in Control, Death or Disability.

(8) Health benefits represent the portion of the total cost that would be paid by WSFS.

**CEO Pay Ratio**

The CEO Pay Ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

We determined our 2023 median employee (our "2023 Median Employee") from our employee population on December 31, 2023.

SEC rules allow a company to use the same median employee for three consecutive fiscal years. Accordingly, we have used our 2023

Median Employee for purposes of determining our 2025 pay ratio, as there has been no change in our employee population or

employee compensation arrangements that we reasonably believe would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure. To identify our

2023 Median Employee, we used a measure of total cash compensation defined as the sum of base salary/annual hourly pay, bonus,

incentive, commission, overtime, and other disbursements (e.g., payment for Saturday work) as reflected in our payroll records. We

believe this is a reasonable measure of total compensation and consistent with prior years' methodology for selecting our median

Associate.

To calculate the 2025 ratio of compensation of our median Associate to that of Mr. Levenson, we calculated the median Associate's

annual total compensation consistent with the calculation of Mr. Levenson's annual total compensation as reported in the "Total" column

of our 2025 SCT plus Mr. Levenson's health care benefits paid by the Company. The median Associate's annual total compensation

includes total cash compensation described above plus the amount of such Associate's health care benefits paid by the Company, if

elected and the company matching contributions to participants in our Section 401(k) employee savings plan. The annual total

compensation for the median Associate was $123,762. Mr. Levenson's total compensation (including benefits) was $5,188,746. The

ratio of Mr. Levenson's annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of the identified median Associate at December 31,

2025 was approximately 42 to 1.

**Pay versus Performance**

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive

compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of the Company. "Compensation Actually Paid" ("CAP") is calculated in

accordance with SEC rules and does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid during the applicable year. For

information concerning the Company's pay for performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the

Company's performance, refer to our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

**Pay versus Performance Table**

In accordance with SEC reporting rules, the table below reports the SCT total compensation and CAP for our Principal Executive Officer

("CEO") and, on average, our non-CEO NEOs, our Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") and the TSR of our selected peer group ("KRX"),

our reported Net Income, and our Adjusted ROA, which represents our Company Selected Measure ("CSM"), each for the past five

fiscal years.

(1)Our Principal Executive Officer was Mr. Rodger Levenson, who served as our CEO for all five years covered in the table.

For 2021, our non-CEO NEOs were Ms. Peggy Eddens, Mr. Dominic Canuso, Mr. Steve Clark, and Mr. Michael Reed. For 2022, our non-CEO NEOs

were Mr. Dominic Canuso, Mr. Steve Clark, Mr. Arthur Bacci, and Mr. Richard Wright. For 2023, our non-CEO NEO's were Mr. Dominic C. Canuso,

Mr. Steve Clark, Mr. Arthur Bacci, Ms. Lisa Brubaker, and Mr. Patrick Ward. For 2024, our non-CEO NEO's were Mr. David Burg, Mr. Steve Clark, Mr.

Arthur Bacci, Ms. Lisa Brubaker, and Ms. Shari Kruzinski. For 2025, our non-CEO NEO's were Mr. David Burg, Mr. Arthur Bacci, Ms. Lisa Brubaker,

and Ms. Shari Kruzinski.

The dollar amounts reported are total compensation in the SCT for the CEO and the average for non-CEO NEOs for each reported fiscal year.

(2)The dollar amounts reported represent CAP, as calculated in accordance with SEC rules for the CEO and the average for non-CEO NEOs for each

reported year. These dollar amounts do not reflect actual amounts of compensation paid during the covered year, but reflect adjustments to SCT data

for (i) the year-end fair values of unvested equity awards granted in the current year, (ii) the year-over-year difference of year-end fair values for

unvested awards granted in prior years, (iii) the fair values at vest date for awards granted and vested in the current year and (iv) the difference

between prior year-end fair values and vest date fair values for awards granted in prior years.

(3)Reflects the cumulative TSR of WSFS over the five-year period. The reporting is based on a theoretical $100 invested on the last day of 2020 and

valued as of the last trading day of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

(4)Reflects the cumulative TSR of the KRX, weighted according to the member companies' market capitalization for each period for which the return is

indicated. The KRX is the peer group used by WSFS for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act in our Annual Report on

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(5)Adjusted ROA is the non-GAAP measure that divides (i) Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) attributable to WSFS by (ii) average assets for the

applicable period. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Appendix A – non-GAAP

Reconciliations." For a description of our Quality of Earnings review, refer to our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" ("CD&A").

**Calculation of CAP**

To calculate the amounts in the CAP table to our CEO and Non-CEO NEOs in the table above according to SEC reporting rules, the

following adjustments were made to Total Compensation as reported in the SCT for 2025.

| Total Adjustments(1) | $203016 | $51751 |
| <u>CAP (as calculated)</u> | $5376276 | $1610667 |

---

(1) Our 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan prohibits the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unexercised stock options or unvested full value equity grants. Therefore, no dividend-related adjustments were required in the calculation of CAP.

**Performance Measures**

Our Leadership & Compensation Committee takes a comprehensive perspective in appraising executive officer and Company

performance, and considers multiple metrics in our ELTIP. Refer to the CD&A for further discussion of how we maintain alignment

between performance and rewards. As required by SEC rules, the performance measures identified as the most important for executive

officer compensation decisions are listed below.

• Adjusted ROA—our Company Selected Measure (CSM)

• Adjusted ROTCE

• Adjusted EPS

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Appendix A – non-GAAP

Reconciliations."

**Proposal 3: Ratification of the Appointment of** 

**Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and is submitting its selection for ratification by our stockholders. KPMG LLP has served as

our independent registered public accounting firm since 1994. Subject to the matters discussed under the section entitled "Audit

Committee Report", the Audit Committee carefully considered the firm's qualifications as our independent registered public accounting

firm, including a review of the qualifications of the engagement team, the quality control procedures the firm has established, and any

issues raised by the most recent quality control review of the firm.

Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will have the

opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

**ABOUT THE AUDIT COMMITTEE**

The Audit Committee's review also included the matters regarding auditor independence discussed under the section titled "Audit

Committee Report", including whether the nature and extent of non-audit services would impair the independence of the auditors.

Services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries by KPMG LLP during fiscal year 2025 are described under the section titled

"Audit Services" below.

**ABOUT YOUR VOTE**

• To be ratified, the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm must receive a favorable

vote of a majority of the shares present in person by participation at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to

vote on that proposal.

• Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of

the proposal.

| **AUDIT SERVICES** |  |
| It is the policy of the Audit Committee to approve all audit and <br>non-audit services prior to the engagement of the independent <br>registered public accounting firm to perform any service, subject <br>to the following operating procedures: Each year in connection <br>with the execution of the audit engagement letter, the Audit <br>Committee pre-approves a retainer for additional services that <br>are either audit or audit-related in nature. These additional <br>services may not exceed 5% of the annual audit fee amount. For <br>any additional audit or audit-related services to be provided by <br>the independent registered public accounting firm that were not <br>pre-approved in accordance with this procedure, and for which <br>the fees are expected to not exceed 10% of the annual audit fee, <br>the Chair of the Audit Committee can provide pre-approval of the <br>services. For any additional services where the fees are <br>expected to exceed 10% of the annual audit fee, the pre-<br>approval of the entire Audit Committee is required.<br>| In addition, a retainer for tax consulting services is pre-approved <br>by the Audit Committee. Any tax consulting services exceeding <br>the retainer amount are approved in accordance with the above <br>procedure. All fees paid to the independent registered public <br>accounting firm are reported to the Audit Committee in a timely <br>manner. In connection with the audit of the 2025 financial <br>statements, we entered into engagement letters with KPMG LLP <br>that set the terms by which KPMG LLP performed services for <br>us. All of the services listed below for 2025 were approved by the <br>Audit Committee prior to the service being rendered as <br>described in the procedures above. The Audit Committee has <br>determined that the non-audit services performed during 2025 <br>were compatible with maintaining the independent registered <br>public accounting firm's independence.<br>|

**Transactions with Related Parties**

The Company also has a written Related Party Transaction Policy pursuant to which the Governance and Nominating Committee

conducts a review and provides oversight over all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations. A related party

transaction is generally any transaction in which WSFS or its subsidiaries is or will be a participant, in which the amount involved

exceeds $120,000, and a director (or nominee), executive officer, immediate family member, or any beneficial owner of more than 5% of

our common stock, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

In the ordinary course of its business, WSFS Bank makes loans to our directors, officers and Associates. All loans granted to related

parties, regardless of the amount, are reported to our Board of Directors. These loans are subject to limitations and restrictions under

federal banking laws and regulations, including Regulation O, and are made on substantially the same terms (including interest rate and

collateral) as, and credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with

persons not related to WSFS Bank. These loans do not involve more than, the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable

features to WSFS Bank.

In accordance with our written policy and Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any extensions of

credit granted by the Bank to a related party in excess of $500,000 requires pre-approval by our Board of Directors, with the interested

party (if a director) abstaining from participating directly or indirectly in the voting. During 2025, there were no loans that constituted

extensions of credit under Regulation O.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our

equity securities to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the SEC. The forms must

be filed with the SEC generally within two business days of the date of the trade. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also

required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To our knowledge and based solely on our review of the copies of such forms, there were no late Section 16(a) filings during 2025,

except for the following: (i) on March 3, 2025, a late Form 4 was filed for Lisa Brubaker to report the withholding of 306 shares that had

been previously excluded due to a clerical error; and (ii) on December 23, 2025, a late Form 4 was filed for Eleuthère du Pont to report

a gift of 1,326 shares to a family trust that had not been reported due to a clerical error.

**Meeting and Other Information**

**Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials**<br>In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, except for stockholders who have requested otherwise, we have generally mailed to our <br>stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice of Internet Availability"). The Notice of Internet Availability <br>provides instructions either for accessing our proxy materials, including the Proxy Statement and the 2025 Annual Report to <br>Stockholders, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Proxy Materials"), at the <br>website address referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability, or for requesting printed copies of the proxy materials by mail or <br>electronically by email. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials either for this Annual Meeting or for all <br>future meetings, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability we <br>mailed to you. Our Board of Directors provided the Notice of Internet Availability and is making the proxy materials available to you in <br>connection with the Annual Meeting. As a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and <br>are entitled to, and requested to, vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.<br>

**Information Contained in Proxy Statement**

This information relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, compensation of our directors and

most highly paid executives and certain other required information.

**Electronic Access to the Company's Proxy Materials**<br>The Proxy Materials are available at https://web.viewproxy.com/wsfs/2026 and from our corporate website at investors.wsfsbank.com. <br>To view this material, you must have available the virtual control number located on the proxy card or, if shares are held in the name of <br>a broker, bank or other nominee, the voting instruction form.<br>

**Stockholders Eligible to Vote**

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date, which was March 20, 2026, will be entitled to vote at the

Annual Meeting.

**Shares Eligible to be Voted**<br>As of the Record Date, we had 52,212,081 shares of common stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of our common stock will <br>entitle its holder to one vote on each of the three director nominees to be elected and one vote on each other matter to be voted on at <br>the Annual Meeting. We do, however, permit cumulative voting for the election of directors, meaning that if, for example, there are <br>three seats up for election in a given class, if you own 100 shares, you have 300 votes to distribute among the nominees as you see <br>fit. You can distribute them equally and cast 100 votes for each nominee or you may give more votes to certain nominees, even giving <br>all 300 votes to a single nominee if you wish. If you give us a proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, we will distribute your <br>votes among the nominees as we see fit. If you do not want us to use cumulative voting for your shares, you may state that on your <br>proxy card. See "How to Vote" below for more information regarding cumulative voting.<br>

**Quorum Requirement**

As of the Record Date, 52,212,081 shares of the Company's common stock were issued and outstanding. We require the presence,

whether in person, by participation at the virtual meeting or through the prior submission of a proxy, of the holders of shares of WSFS

common stock representing a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date. If you submit a properly

executed proxy, then you will be considered part of the quorum.

**Matters to be Voted On**<br>The Annual Meeting is being held to consider the following proposals:<br>(1) The election of three directors for a three-year term expiring on the date of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2029;<br>(2) A non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs;<br>(3) The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending <br>December 31, 2026; and<br>(4) Such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.<br>Our Board of Directors recommends a vote:<br>**FOR** each of the three nominees for director;<br>**FOR** the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs; and<br>**FOR** ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.<br>

---

**Votes Required**

**Proposal 1:** Directors are elected by plurality vote, meaning that the nominees who receive the greatest number of votes are elected.

**Proposal 2:** The advisory proposal relating to executive compensation must receive a favorable vote of a majority of the shares

present in person by participation at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal to be approved.

**Proposal 3:** The appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm must receive a favorable vote of a

majority of the shares present in person by participation at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the

proposal to be ratified.

For Proposal 1, you may vote for a nominee or you may withhold your vote for a nominee. In a contested election, the number of

seats up for election is less than the number of persons nominated. The winning nominees are the ones who receive more votes than

the other nominees. In an uncontested election, there are enough seats up for election for all the nominees, so all will be elected

regardless of the number of votes they each receive.

**Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes**<br>For Proposal 1, abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as present for quorum purposes only and will not affect the outcome of <br>the vote on the proposal. For Proposals 2 and 3, abstentions will have the same effect as votes against such proposals and broker <br>non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals.<br>If you fail to instruct your broker how you want your shares voted, your broker may use discretionary authority to vote your shares only <br>on "routine" matters. The election of directors and the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs are not considered <br>"routine" matters. As such, your broker cannot vote your shares with respect to these proposals if you do not give instructions.<br>If you hold your shares beneficially through a bank or broker, you must provide a legal proxy from your bank or broker during <br>registration and you will be assigned a virtual control number in order to vote your shares during the Annual Meeting. If you are unable <br>to obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares, you will still be able to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting (but will not be able to vote your <br>shares) so long as you demonstrate proof of stock ownership. Instructions on how to connect and participate via the Internet, including <br>how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at https://web.viewproxy.com/wsfs/2026. On the day of the Annual Meeting, <br>you may only vote during the Annual Meeting by e-mailing a copy of your legal proxy to virtualmeeting@viewproxy.com in advance of <br>the Annual Meeting.<br>

**Broker Non-Votes**

If a broker indicates on its proxy that it submits to the Company that it does not have authority to vote certain shares held in "street

name," the shares not voted are referred to as "broker non-votes." Broker non-votes occur when brokers do not have discretionary

voting authority to vote certain shares held in "street name" on particular proposals under the rules of Nasdaq and the "beneficial owner"

of those shares has not instructed the broker how to vote on those proposals. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide

instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee is permitted to vote your shares for or against

"routine" matters such as Proposal Number 3, the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Brokers are not permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your shares for or against "non-routine" matters. All of the

matters on which stockholders will be asked to vote on at the Annual Meeting, with the exception of Proposal Number 3, the ratification

of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, are "non-routine" matters.

**APPENDIX A – NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS**

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's

operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance. The non-GAAP measures

used herein include ROTCE, Core ROA, coverage ratio including estimated remaining credit marks, Adjusted ROA, Adjusted ROTCE,

and Adjusted EPS. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to an understanding of

the operating results of our core business. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for

an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this

presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the

non-GAAP measure to the GAAP measure are set forth below:
