Effective June 27, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Amalgamated Financial Corp. (the "Company") increased the size of the Board from eleven to thirteen members, and elected Steven SaLoutos and Royce Anthony Wells to fill the vacancies and serve on the Board until the next annual meeting of stockholders, and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. SaLoutos and Mr. Wells were also elected as members of the Board of Directors of Amalgamated Bank, the Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiary. Mr. SaLoutos will serve on the Audit Committee and the Credit Policy Committee of the Board. Mr. Wells will serve on the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board.

Mr. SaLoutos brings extensive expertise in the banking industry and a strong background in board service. He became the interim Chief Financial Officer of ProSight Financial Association in 2024, and has served as the permanent Chief Financial Officer since 2025, following a distinguished 38-year career at U.S. Bank, N.A. His most recent position there was Executive Vice President and Midwest Regional Executive in Consumer and Business Banking. An active community supporter, Mr. SaLoutos is a member and former Chairperson of Wisconsin Women Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC), a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) focused on startup and early-stage business lending for and education of women and minority-owned businesses throughout Wisconsin. Mr. SaLoutos holds a BBA degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and an MBA, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Mr. Wells brings nearly four decades of executive leadership across highly regulated industries including banking, payment services, telecommunications, and energy. He has served as a Venture Partner at AZ-VC, Arizona's largest venture capital fund, since 2024, and sits on the boards of publicly traded Nexstar Media Group (NASDAQ: NXST), Yelp (NYSE: YELP) and private ad-tech company TripleLift.

A former Marine Corps infantry officer, Mr. Wells holds a B.S. from the United States Naval Academy and a Management Certificate from Johns Hopkins University Carey School of Business.

Mr. SaLoutos and Mr. Wells will participate in the current director compensation arrangements available to the Company's non-employee directors, pro-rated to reflect the actual time Mr. SaLoutos and Mr. Wells will serve on the Company's Board in fiscal year 2025, as described in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange commission ("SEC") on April 11, 2025. In connection with their appointments, they each will receive restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of approximately $65,000, which will be prorated for their partial first year of service, under our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. Dividend equivalents accrue during the vesting period and are paid in cash to the extent the restricted stock units vest. In the event that a director resigns prior to the vesting of their restricted stock units, the unvested restricted stock units are forfeited.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. SaLoutos or Mr. Wells and any other person pursuant to which there were selected as directors, and there are no transactions related to the Company in which Mr. SaLoutos or Mr. Wells have an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
