Legal Disclaimers Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements express management's current expectations, estimates or projections of future events, results or long-term goals. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the proposed merger between Civista Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company"), Civista Bank (the "Bank") and The Farmers Savings Bank ("Farmers") and the concurrent proposed underwritten follow-on public offering of the Company's common shares, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should" or other similar expressions. All statements in this material speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update any statement except to the extent required by law. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results or performance to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or performance to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include: • risks related to the merger, including the risk that we may fail to complete the merger on the terms and timing currently contemplated or at all, and/or to realize the expected benefits of the merger; • the risk that integration of Farmers may divert the attention of the management teams of the Company and Farmers and cause a loss of momentum in their ongoing businesses; • the risk of unforeseen and underestimated liabilities of Farmers that may exist; • business disruptions or loss of key employees in connection with the merger; • adverse developments in the equity markets or overall economy could affect the trading price of the Company's common shares and the ability to complete the proposed follow-on offering on favorable terms or at all; and • the other risks identified from time to time in our public filings with the SEC, including those risks identified in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part II of the Company's Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Important Additional Information and Where to Find it. In connection with the proposed merger, the Company expects to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will include relevant documents concerning the proposed merger. Shareholders of Farmers are urged to read the Form S-4 and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available, because they will contain important information about the proposed merger, and the respective companies. Once filed, these documents will be available at no charge on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) and on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website. The information in this presentation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed information in those SEC filings. Any summaries or descriptions of legal agreements or the transactions in this presentation are not complete and are qualified by the actual agreements and documents as filed with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, security holders should carefully review all of these documents and should not rely solely on the information contained in this presentation. Registration Statement; No Offer or Solicitation. This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended to, and shall not, constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. . Any offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to purchase securities of the Company will be made only pursuant to a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the SEC. The Company has filed a "shelf" registration statement (File No. 333-282560) (including a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus")) on October 9, 2024, and the related preliminary prospectus supplement on July 10, 2025 (the "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement") with the SEC for the offering of the Company's common shares to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and this offering. You may obtain these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Company, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement if you request it by emailing Piper Sandler & Co. at fsg-dcm@psc.com. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non- GAAP financial measures include "Tangible Common Equity," "Tangible Book Value Per Share," "Tangible Assets," "Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets," and "Return on Tangible Common Equity." The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's profitability. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non- GAAP financial measures are provided at the end of this presentation. Participants in the Solicitation. The Company and its respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in respect of the proposed transactions. Information about the Company's directors and executive officers is set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2025. Shareholders may obtain additional information regarding the interests of such participants by reading the registration statement/prospectus and other relevant materials filed with the SEC regarding the proposed transactions when they become available. Third-Party Sources of Information: Certain information contained in this presentation and statements made orally during this presentation relate to or are based on publications and other data obtained from third party sources. While we believe these third party sources to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, we have not independently verified, and make no representation as to the adequacy, fairness, accuracy or completeness of, any information obtained from such third party sources. Except as otherwise indicated, this presentation speaks as of the date hereof.
