**Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders**

On January 21, 2026, Heritage Financial Corporation, a Washington corporation ("Heritage") held a virtual special meeting of its shareholders (the "Special Meeting") to consider certain proposals related to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 25, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), between Heritage and Olympic Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Olympic"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Olympic will merge with and into Heritage, with Heritage as the surviving corporation (the "Merger").

The record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting was the close of business on November 26, 2025. There were 33,956,738 shares of common stock outstanding as of that date, with each such share being entitled to one vote. At the Special Meeting, the holders of 27,149,330 shares, or approximately 80 percent of the outstanding shares of Heritage's common stock, no par value per share ("Heritage common stock"), were represented in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum for the Special Meeting. The final results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of shareholders at the Special Meeting, as set forth in Heritage's Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 4, 2025, were as follows:

Proposal 1. The approval of the issuance of Heritage common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the "Stock Issuance Proposal"):

| 27,081,202 | 25,429 | 42,699 |  |

---

Based on the votes set forth above, the Stock Issuance Proposal was approved by the shareholders of Heritage.

Proposal 2. The approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation in the event that an insufficient number of votes are cast to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| FOR | AGAINST | ABSTAIN | BROKER NON-VOTES |
| 26,331,640 | 773,306 | 44,384 |  |

---

Based on the votes set forth above, the adjournment was approved by the shareholders of Heritage. Based on the votes set forth above with respect to the Stock Issuance Proposal, no adjournment of the Special Meeting was determined to be necessary or appropriate and, accordingly, the Special Meeting was not adjourned and proceeded to conclusion without consideration of a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting.
