**PROXY STATEMENT**

**2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders – April 23, 2026**

**ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION**

This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation (the "Company") for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, at the Lightstreet Office of the Company's Journey Bank subsidiary, 1199 Lightstreet Road, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania 17815. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being made available to shareholders of the Company on or about March 13, 2026.

**Matters to be Considered**

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To elect four (4) Directors of the Company to Class 1 for terms of three (3) years (see *Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors* for a list of nominees) and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) To ratify the appointment of S.R. Snodgrass P.C. as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

To act upon such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

The Board of Directors does not know of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting, but if any other matters are properly presented at the meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the meeting, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will vote upon such matters in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

**Recommendations of the Board of Directors**

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of the four (4) nominees set forth in *Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors* and "FOR" ratification of the appointment of S.R. Snodgrass P.C. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

**Record Date and Quorum**

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 23, 2026 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 3,536,754 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding.

Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present, in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum. If you fail to submit a proxy prior to the Annual Meeting or to attend the Annual Meeting in person, your shares of common stock will not be counted towards a quorum. Abstentions will be included in determining the number of shares present at the meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, provided that with respect to shares represented by proxy, such shares have

been voted on any issue other than a procedural motion. Broker non-votes will not be included in determining the number of shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

At the Annual Meeting, each whole share of Company common stock is entitled to one (1) vote on all matters properly submitted to Company shareholders for a vote. Fractional shares, such as those held pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan, may not be voted.

**Broker Non-Votes**

A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is not permitted to vote on a non-routine matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with such instructions. Broker non-votes only count toward a quorum if at least one proposal is presented with respect to which the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee has discretionary authority. Any broker non-votes will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holds your shares of Company common stock in "street name," such entity will vote your shares of Company common stock only if you provide instructions on how to vote by complying with the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with this proxy statement.

**Vote Required; Treatment of Abstentions and Failure to Vote**

*Election of Directors.* Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of shares present in person, or by proxy, and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Plurality means that the individuals who receive the largest number of "FOR" votes will be elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the four (4) nominees for Class 1 Director who receive the highest number of "FOR" votes will be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of directors. Shareholders may not vote their shares cumulatively in the election of directors. If any nominee would refuse or be unable to serve if elected, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote for such other person as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors does not have knowledge that any nominee will refuse or be unable to serve if elected.

*Ratification of Approval of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.* A majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares present in person, or by proxy, and entitled to vote on each such matter is necessary to approve the ratification of the approval of the independent registered public accounting firm and, unless otherwise required by the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws, or by law, any other business that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on any such proposals.

**Attending the Annual Meeting**

*In Person.* If you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the February 23, 2026 record date for the Annual Meeting and you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please bring with you photo identification.

If, as of the close of business on the February 23, 2026 record date for the Annual Meeting, you held your shares of Company common stock beneficially in the name of a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, and you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please bring with you photo identification and a letter (and a legal proxy reflecting the number of shares of Company common stock you held as of the record date if you wish to vote your shares in person) from your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, confirming your beneficial ownership as of the record date.

**Proxies**

*Shareholders of Record.* If you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the February 23, 2026 record date for the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy by one of the following methods:

● By telephone, by calling the toll-free number indicated on the accompanying proxy card and following the recorded instructions;

● Through the Internet by visiting the website indicated on the accompanying proxy card and following the instructions; or

● By completing and returning the accompanying proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. The envelope requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States.

The Company requests that shareholders of record vote by telephone, through the Internet or by completing and signing the accompanying proxy card and returning it to the Company as soon as possible in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

When the accompanying proxy card is returned properly executed, or when you properly submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet, the shares of Company common stock represented by your proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you submit a proxy but do not specify how you want your shares voted, your shares will be voted "FOR" the election of the four (4) nominees listed in this proxy statement as Class 1 Directors and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of S.R. Snodgrass P.C. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Every vote is important. You should sign, date and return the accompanying proxy card, or submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet. Submitting a proxy will not prevent you from later voting your shares in person at the Annual Meeting because you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted.

*Shares Held Through a Bank, Broker, Trustee or Other Nominee*. If your shares are held beneficially in the name of a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, you must instruct the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Follow the instructions on the voting instruction form provided to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee. Your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee will not vote your shares unless you provide specific instructions on how to vote your shares.

**Revocation of Proxies**

If you are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

● Submitting a written statement that you would like to revoke your proxy to the Secretary of the Company;

● Signing and returning a proxy card with a later date prior to the Annual Meeting;

● Attending the Annual Meeting in person and voting at the Annual Meeting by ballot; or

● Voting by telephone or on the Internet at a later time prior to the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held beneficially in the name of your bank, trustee or other nominee, you should follow your bank's, broker's, trustee's or other nominee's instructions regarding revocation of proxies.

Attendance at the meeting, will not, in and of itself, constitute revocation of a proxy. A revocation or later-dated proxy received by the Company after the vote will not affect the vote. Written notices of revocation and other communications regarding the revocation of your proxy should be addressed to: Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation, 1199 Lightstreet Road, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania 17815, Attention: Secretary. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, it will not affect the ability of Company shareholders to exercise their voting rights or to revoke any previously granted proxy using the methods described above.

**Deadline to Submit Shareholder Proposals for Next Year's Annual Meeting**

Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal (including shareholder nominations for director) for inclusion in next year's Company proxy statement and proxy card, must deliver the proposal in writing to the Secretary of Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation, 1199 Lightstreet Road, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania 17815, not later than November 13, 2026. In addition, if any shareholder proposal (other than shareholder nominations for director) intended to be presented at the 2027 annual meeting without inclusion in our proxy statement is received after January 27, 2027, the persons named as proxies in the Company's proxy card will be allowed to use their discretionary authority to vote against the shareholder proposal when and if the proposal is presented at the annual meeting.

The Company's bylaws provide that a shareholder who intends to submit a proposal (other than shareholder nominations for director) at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders must submit the proposal to the Secretary of the Company not later than January 27, 2027. The shareholder's notice must set forth as to each matter to be presented: (i) a brief description of the proposal, the reasons for presenting the proposal at the annual meeting and why the proposal is a proper subject for action by the shareholders under applicable law, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Company's books, of the shareholder making the proposal and, to the extent known, any other shareholders known by such shareholder to be supporting the proposal, (iii) the number of shares of Company common stock that are beneficially owned by the shareholder on the date of notice and, to the extent known, by any other shareholders known by such shareholder to support the proposal, and (iv) any financial interest of the shareholder in the proposal (other than interests which all shareholders would have). To be properly brought before the annual meeting, a proposal must be of a proper subject for action by shareholders under applicable law and must not, if implemented, cause the Company to violate any state, federal or foreign law or regulation, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may reject any shareholder proposal not timely made. If the Board of Directors determines that the information provided in the shareholder's notice does not satisfy the foregoing informational requirements in any material respect, the Secretary will promptly notify the shareholder of the deficiency in the notice. The shareholder will have an opportunity to cure the deficiency by providing additional information to the Secretary within five (5) days from the date such deficiency notice is given to the shareholder. If the deficiency is not cured within such period, or if the Board of Directors determines that the additional information provided by the shareholder, together with the information previously provided, does not satisfy the requirements of the bylaws in any material respect, then the Board of Directors may reject the shareholder's proposal and the Secretary shall notify the shareholder in writing whether the shareholder's proposal has been made in accordance with the time and informational requirements of the bylaws.

See *Corporate Governance – Director Nomination Process* below for a discussion of how shareholders may nominate candidates for election as directors.

**Internet Availability of Proxy Materials**

In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), on or about March 13, 2026, we will mail to our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, this proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card, 2025 Annual Highlights and our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K on the internet, instead of mailing printed copies. Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them.

As permitted by applicable law, only one (1) copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials is being delivered to Company shareholders residing at the same address, unless the Company has received contrary instructions from such shareholders. If you received more than one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, it means your shares are registered differently and are held in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please either vote each account over the internet or by telephone, or sign and return by mail all proxy cards or voting instruction forms requested in paper format.

If you would like to receive a paper copy or email copy of our proxy materials you should follow the instructions in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or call 866-641-4276 by telephone; email investorvote@computershare.com with "Proxy Materials Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation" in the subject line; or log on to the www.investorvote.com/CCFN website. Please make your request for a paper copy of the proxy materials on or before April 9, 2026 to facilitate timely delivery. There is no charge for you requesting a paper copy.

**PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF FOUR (4) DIRECTORS TO CLASS 1**

The bylaws of the Company provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than five nor more than twenty-five directors, and shall be classified into three classes – Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 -- with the number of directors in each class being as nearly equal as possible. Each class of directors is to be elected in separate successive elections for terms of three years so that the term of office of one class of directors will expire in each year. Each director is to serve and hold office until his or her successor is elected or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

The bylaws of the Company further provide that no person shall be elected or appointed as a director who has attained 75 years of age on or prior to the date of his or her election or appointment, and that the term of a Director who has attained the age of 75 years will terminate automatically at the close of business on the day prior to the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders, whether or not his or her term otherwise would expire at such annual meeting.

In addition, the Company agreed, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 17, 2023, as amended, between the Company and Muncy Bank Financial, Inc. ("MBF"), to renominate for one additional term each director who was formerly a director of MBF prior to the merger of MBF into the Company when the initial term of the class to which he or she has been appointed expires, and if any vacancies occur among any of the director positions held by former MBF directors during the initial term or the first additional term of service, the vacancy is to be filled by a person nominated by the remaining former MBF directors.

The Company currently has thirteen directors divided into three classes: four directors are in Class 1; five directors are in Class 2; and four directors are in Class 3.

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will elect four (4) Class 1 directors. The Board of Directors has nominated the following persons for election as Class 1 directors.

**Corporate Governance**

In connection with the merger of MBF with and into the Company in November 2023, the Board of Directors has been able to reconsider the leadership structures of the Board of Directors and the senior executive management and leadership team. One of the positive results of the merger was the addition of Robert J. Glunk, MBF's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, to the Company's senior executive management and leadership team. Upon the November 11, 2023 effective date of the merger, Mr. Glunk assumed roles as President and Chief Executive Officer of Journey Bank and Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. With Mr. Glunk being available to focus on the day to day management of Journey Bank and the day to day operations of the Company, the Board of Directors was able to refocus Lance O. Diehl's attentions to strategic management and organizational leadership as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Executive Chairman of the Bank.

Over the course of the next three months, as they worked together to integrate the two companies following the completion of the merger, Messrs. Diehl and Glunk had the opportunity to reconsider their respective roles, skill sets and personal preferences and mutually concluded that the Company, Journey Bank and each of them would be better served if they would reverse their roles with Mr. Diehl serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Journey Bank and Mr. Glunk serving as Executive Chairman of the Company and Journey Bank. The Boards of Directors of the Company and Journey Bank approved these new role assignments on February 13, 2024.

In January, 2025, Mr. Glunk informed the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Journey Bank of his desire to retire from day to day service as a member of senior executive management, but to continue service as a director and as Chairman. The Boards of Directors of the Company and Journey Bank approved this new role on February 11, 2025, which became effective on February 28, 2025.

Subject to the direction of the Boards of Directors, as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Diehl has general supervision of the policies, business and operations of the Company and Journey Bank. As Chairman, Mr. Glunk

presides at all meetings of the shareholders and directors, supervises the carrying out of the policies adopted or approved by the Board of Directors, and has such other powers and duties as may from time to time be conferred or assigned to him by the Board of Directors.

**Independent Lead Director**

As a member and former member of the senior executive management team, Mr. Diehl and Mr. Glunk are not independent under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. In order to provide for independent leadership of the Board of Directors, the independent non-management members of the Board of Directors have appointed Bonnie M. Tompkins as Independent Lead Director. As Independent Lead Director, Ms. Tompkins serves as the primary liaison between the Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer and the independent members of the Board of Directors; presides at meetings of the independent directors; confers with the Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer following meetings of the independent directors to convey the substance of the discussions held during such meetings; is available for confidential discussions with any director who may have concerns that he or she believes have not been properly considered by the Board of Directors as a whole; following consultation with the Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer approves the Board of Directors' meeting agendas in order to promote the effectiveness of the Board's operation and decision making and to ensure sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items; is available for consultation and direct communication with major shareholders; and discharges such other responsibilities as the independent directors may assign from time to time.

The Independent Lead Director is chair of the Executive Committee of the Journey Bank Board of Directors.

Except for Messrs. Diehl and Glunk, the Board of Directors has determined that all of the other members of the Board of Directors – 11 out of 13 or 85% - are independent under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Board of Directors believes the best interests of the Company are served at this time by the current structure involving a Chairman, a President and Chief Executive Officer, and an Independent Lead Director. This structure provides an appropriate balance between the Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer on the one hand and the independent members of the Board of Directors on the other, facilitating independent oversight over senior management and promoting communication between senior management and the independent members of the Board of Directors.

**Management Oversight**

The Board of Directors administers its management oversight function by requiring regular and periodic reporting by management and through the Board's committee structure. In addition to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of Journey Bank has the following active standing committees: Executive Committee, Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO); Loan Committee, Risk Committee and Trust Committee. Each of these committees has oversight responsibility for specific risks relating to the business activities of Journey Bank. Each committee reports regularly to the full Journey Bank Board of Directors.

**Enterprise Risk Management**

The Risk Committee of the Journey Bank Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing Journey Bank's risk management program and to assure that risk is managed appropriately in the context of Journey Bank's strategic objectives.

Rabb; W. Bruce McMichael, Jr.; Steven H. Shannon and Bonnie M. Tompkins. The Risk Committee held four (4) meetings in 2025.

The risk management team meets at least monthly to assess the effectiveness of the bank's processes and procedures affecting all integral operations. Minutes are kept and reported

Journey Bank's Board of Directors has a Loan Committee that is responsible for overseeing the bank's exposure to credit risk. The Loan Committee's primary responsibility is to review and approve credit exposures over senior management approval limits. The Loan Committee also reviews various past due and nonperforming loan reports and has oversight over the external loan review process. The Loan Committee meets monthly or more often as necessary. The members of the Loan Committee are: Willard H. Kile, Jr., Chair; Todd M. Arthur; Robert W. Dillon; Robert P. Hager; Brian D. Klingerman; Robert M. Rabb; Edwin A. Wenner; and Brenda R. H. Williams. The Loan Committee held twelve (12) meetings in 2025.

At the management level, Journey Bank manages credit risk through its credit risk management program led by its Chief Credit Officer. The Chief Credit Officer ensures compliance with the bank's comprehensive Lending Policy, which is approved, at least annually, by the Board of Directors. Amongst other items, the bank's Lending Policy outlines the bank's lending philosophy and objectives, lending limits, the loan approval process, credit risk ratings, loan underwriting guidelines, credit policy waivers and exceptions, overdrafts and collateral appraisals. Journey Bank also has a management loan committee which meets weekly to review and approve credit exposures within its specified approval limits. The members of the management loan committee include the bank's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Commercial Officer, Chief Banking Officer, Chief Operating and Risk Officer, as well as select additional commercial lending and credit department staff members.

Journey Bank's ALCO committee is responsible for managing the bank's exposure to risks resulting from a mismatch of assets and liabilities arising as a result of changing market conditions. The ALCO Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors prudent asset/liability management policies and procedures that enable the bank to achieve its goals while operating in full compliance with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. The ALCO Committee meets quarterly and reviews various information and reports, including but not limited to, local and national economic information, interest rate forecasts and spreads, net interest margin and liquidity reports, capital levels and cash flow forecasting. The current members of the ALCO Committee are: Robert P. Hager, Chair; Robert M. Rabb; W. Bruce McMichael, Jr.; Steven H. Shannon and Brenda R. H. Williams. The ALCO Committee held four (4) meetings in 2025.

At the management level, Journey Bank manages asset/liability risk through a comprehensive Asset/Liability Management Policy, which is approved, at least annually, by the Board of Directors. This policy outlines various risk limits for net interest income and the economic value of equity under various rate change scenarios as well as various ratios related to the effectiveness of interest rate risk management.

**Code of Conduct and Ethics**

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics governing the senior executive officers of the Company and Journey Bank. The Code of Conduct and Ethics also applies to employees, agents and representatives, and establishes guidelines for professional conduct in the workplace, including fair dealing with others, the handling of conflicts of interest, compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including federal and state securities laws, honesty in the preparation of the Company's financial statements and public reports, reporting of violations of and accountability for adherence to the Code of Conduct and Ethics. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Code of Conduct and Ethics contains a whistleblower provision for a person to report an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Conduct and Ethics, as well with respect to accounting and auditing matters, to the Audit Committee without fear of dismissal or retaliation of any kind. All reports or complaints under this whistleblower provision are kept in confidence. The Code of Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company's website at https://ir.journeybank.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

**Insider Trading Policy**

The Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that prohibits the directors, officers, employees, agents, independent advisors, consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, and their related persons from purchasing or selling any of the Company's securities or the securities of any other company while in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company or any other company, as applicable. The policy also prohibits such persons from communicating such nonpublic information to any other person, except to persons who need to know such information for purposes of Company business. The policy contains anti-hedging provisions that prohibit directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries from purchasing financial instruments or engaging in transactions that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities of the Company, including, without limitation, puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds and other derivative securities or transactions with economic consequences comparable to the foregoing.

**Director Nomination Process**

The Company does not have a formal nominating committee. The Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a formal nominating committee in view of the Company's relative size and the relative size of the Board of Directors, the recent combination of the Boards of Directors of the Company and MBF in November 2023 in connection with the merger of MBF with the Company, and the desire of all of the members of the Board of Directors to take an active role in the director selection process. Because there is no formal nominating committee, the Company currently does not have a formal written charter relating to the nomination process.

Director candidates are most often recommended to the Board of Directors for consideration by Mr. Diehl or by members of the Board of Directors, shareholders and other Company stakeholders.

When considering a director candidate, the Board of Directors will consider the backgrounds and experience of the current directors; the background and experience of the candidate; any specific knowledge-based need of the Company, such as the need for a director with knowledge of the commercial real estate industry; diversified geographies in which current directors and the candidate live; the desired number of Board seats and the number of vacant seats, if any; whether a candidate has the time and interest to fully participate in the responsibilities of the Board and its committees; and the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by the candidate. The Board tries to reach a unanimous consensus regarding a candidate before nominating a candidate for election or appointment to fill a vacancy.

In addition to making recommendations to senior executive management or the Board of Directors, a shareholder may nominate a person for director in accordance with the Company's bylaws. Any shareholder who intends to nominate or cause to have nominated any candidate (other than a candidate proposed by the Company's then existing Board of Directors) for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting of shareholders shall so notify the Secretary of the Company in writing no later than the January 15 next preceding the date of such annual meeting. The notification shall contain the following information to the extent known by the notifying shareholder: (i) the name and address of each proposed nominee, (ii) the age of each proposed nominee, (iii) principal occupation of each proposed nominee, (iv) the number of shares of the Company owned of record, and the number of shares of the Company beneficially owned by each proposed nominee, (v) the total number of shares that to the knowledge of the notifying shareholder will be voted for each proposed nominee, (vi) the name and residence address of the notifying shareholder, (vii) the number of shares owned by the notifying shareholder, (viii) the amount of monies borrower by the proposed nominee from any source or entity to finance the purchase of any shares of the Company, (viii) any conviction of the proposed nominee of any felony crime, any assessment of a civil money penalty by a federal or state regulatory agency against the proposed nominee, or the issuance of any cease-and-desist order by a federal or state regulatory agency against the proposed nominee and a complete explanation thereof, and (ix) a description of any adjudication of bankruptcy of the proposed nominee or any general assignment made by the proposed nominee for the benefit of creditors; and a description of any entity of which the proposed nominee is or has been an officer, director, partner or principal which is being or, within the last two years, was reorganized in bankruptcy, adjudged a bankrupt or made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. The Board of Directors may reject any shareholder nomination not timely

made. If the Board of Directors determines that the information provided in a shareholder's notice does not satisfy the informational requirements of the bylaws in any material respect, the Secretary shall promptly notify the shareholder of the deficiency in the notice. The shareholder shall have an opportunity to cure the deficiency by providing additional information to the Secretary within five (5) days from the date such deficiency notice is given to the shareholder. If the deficiency is not cured within such period and if the Board of Directors determines that the additional information provided by the shareholder, together with the information previously provided, does not satisfy the requirements of the bylaws in any material respect, then the Board of Directors may reject the shareholder's nomination and the Secretary shall notify the shareholder in writing whether such shareholder's nomination has been made in accordance with the time and informational requirements of the bylaws.

**Communicating with the Board**

Shareholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors, any director (including the Independent Lead Director), the non-management or independent directors as a group, or any Board committee, may send an email to investorrelations@journeybank.com or a letter to the following address:

Board of Directors

c/o Corporate Secretary

Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation

1199 Lightstreet Road

Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania 17815

The Secretary will forward email communications to the appropriate directors named. The Secretary will not open a written communication sent to the physical mailing address if it is addressed to the Board of Directors, any director (including the Independent Lead Director) or group of directors, the non-management or independent directors as a group or any Board committee. The Secretary will forward the communication to the named director or the Independent Lead Director, who will determine how to respond.

The Secretary may elect not to forward communications she believes are a commercial, charitable or other solicitation; a complaint about Journey Bank products or services that would be customarily handled in the ordinary course of business; or abusive, improper or otherwise irrelevant to the Board's duties and responsibilities.

**Board Meetings in 2025**

The Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Journey Bank each held 13 meetings in 2025. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company and Journey Bank and all committees on which the directors served. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy that encourages all directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All of our directors then serving attended our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

**Director Independence**

While the Company's shares of common stock are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, the Board of Directors evaluates director independence in accordance with the definition of "independent" in the Nasdaq Stock Market rules. In making independence determinations, the Board of Directors considers all of the information provided by each director in response to detailed inquiries concerning his or her independence and any direct or indirect business, family, employment, transactional or other relationship or affiliation of such director with the Company and Journey Bank. Based on the information provided by each director, the Board of Directors believes that all of the directors, other than Messrs. Diehl and Glunk, are independent directors for the purposes of the Nasdaq Stock Market rules. Messrs. Diehl and Glunk, as an executive officer and former executive officer of the Company and Journey Bank, are not considered to be independent under the Nasdaq Stock Market rules.

**Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers**

Journey Bank provides financial services to most of the Company's directors, some of their immediate family members and certain of their respective affiliated entities. Journey Bank offers these services in the ordinary course of business and provides the services on substantially the same terms and conditions, including price, as it provides such services to other similarly situated customers. Journey Bank also extends credit to some of the Company's directors, some of their immediate family members and certain of their respective affiliated entities. Federal banking law ("Regulation O") governs these extensions of credit. All loans to the Company's and Journey Bank's directors and executive officers and their related interests outstanding during 2025 complied with Regulation O. No such loan is "non-accrual," "past due" or a "troubled debt restructuring," and each such loan was made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Any business dealing, including extensions of credit, between the Company or Journey Bank and a director of the Company and Journey Bank, or with any entity controlled by a director, other than a deposit, trust service or other product or service provided by Journey Bank in the ordinary course of business upon the same terms and conditions, including price, as apply to other customers, are required to be reviewed and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors. In considering a proposed transaction with a director or entity controlled by a director, the disinterested directors seek to determine if the transaction would be in the best interest of the Company or Journey Bank, as applicable, and upon terms and conditions, including price, as apply to other customers.

**Director Compensation**

In 2025, the Directors received a $1,612 monthly retainer fee; a $728 per month board fee; a $364 per committee meeting fee; a $468 special meeting fee; and a $624 per meeting committee Chair fee in lieu of the standard committee meeting fee, except that the Audit Committee Chair received a $12,480 annual fee paid in twelve monthly installments of $1,040 each. The Lead Independent Director received, in 2025, a $6,864 annual fee paid in twelve monthly installments of $572 each. The Board of Directors also approved a $75,000 annual Chairman's fee in connection with Mr. Glunk's retirement as a member of senior executive management. In 2026, the Directors will receive a $1,685 monthly retainer fee; a $760 per month board fee; a $380 per committee meeting fee; a $485 special meeting fee; and a $650 per meeting committee Chair fee in lieu of the standard committee meeting fee, except that the Audit Committee Chair will receive a $13,020 annual fee paid in monthly installments of $1,085 each.

\*\*\*Resigned from the Boards of Directors of the Company and Journey Bank on December 31, 2025.

**Deferred Compensation Agreements for Directors**

The Company established a director's deferred fee plan in 2003 which allowed a participating director to defer all or a portion of his or her director's fees until the year following the expiration of the director's service. Payments are then made over specified terms under these arrangements for up to a ten-year period. Each year, the director had the option of participating for that year. Interest accrues on the deferred fees at a five-year certificate of deposit rate, which was 0.90% in 2025. Two directors, Willard H. Kile, Jr. and W. Bruce McMichael, Jr. participate in this program. At December 31, 2025, the accrued balance for Mr. Kile was $145,186 and for Mr. McMichael was $69,462. The amount of interest earned and accrued in 2025 for Mr. Kile was $1,300 and for Mr. McMichael was $622. The amounts earned are reported in the Directors' Compensation table above.

On January 1, 2009, a new director's deferred fee plan was established. Interest is to accrue on deferred fees under this plan at a five-year certificate of deposit rate, which was 1.54% in 2025. Three directors, Willard H. Kile, Jr., Edwin A. Wenner, and Brian D. Klingerman have elected to participate in this program. At December 31, 2025, the accrued balance for Mr. Kile was $478,635; for Mr. Wenner was $79,970; and for Mr. Klingerman was $5,890. The amount of interest earned and accrued in 2025 for Mr. Kile was $6,904; for Mr. Wenner was $1,221; and for Mr. Klingerman was $90. The amounts earned are reported in the Directors' Compensation table above.

**Executive Compensation**

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for the Company's named executive officers as shown in the "Summary Compensation Table" below. As a "smaller reporting company," the Company is not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis and has elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Journey Bank's Executive Committee reviews human resources matters, and discusses and reviews evaluations of and compensation for all management positions within the bank. The members of the Executive Committee were in 2025: Bonnie M. Tompkins, Chair; Robert W. Dillon; Willard H. Kile, Jr.; Brian D. Klingerman; and Edwin A. Wenner.

Because all of the independent directors deem executive compensation to be very important to the overall development and performance of the Corporation, they act as the Committee on Executive Compensation and are solely responsible for compensation decisions involving Messrs. Diehl and Glunk. Neither Mr. Diehl nor Mr. Glunk participates in discussions and decisions regarding his own or the other's individual performance and compensation, but each of them participates in discussions and decisions regarding Mr. Arnold's and Mr. O'Neill's performance and compensation.

The independent directors, acting as the Committee on Executive Compensation, met one time in 2025 to discuss the performance of the named executive officers and to compare Mr. Diehl's and Mr. Glunk's performance with the Board's goals and objectives.

Annual compensation for senior executives includes salary, bonus and Journey Bank's contribution to the executive's 401(k) profit sharing account. This is similar to the compensation programs for many of our peer group banking companies.

The independent members of the Board of Directors determined that the salaries and annual bonuses paid to the named executive officers in 2025 was appropriate in consideration of the substantial contributions they made toward the performance of the Company in 2025.

**Summary Compensation Table**

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of the Company's named executive officers for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan**

Pursuant to the Company's split dollar life insurance plan, each of the participating officers is entitled to certain life insurance coverage in connection with certain bank-owned life insurance purchased by Journey Bank. For Messrs. Diehl, Arnold and O'Neill the benefit in connection with their deaths during employment is 350 percent of their annual base salary minus $50,000, and in connection with their death after the termination of employment, 200 percent of their last annual base salary, but not to exceed the lesser of $900,000 or the total death proceeds of the policy minus the cash surrender value of the policy. Under the split dollar life insurance plan for Mr. Glunk provided by The Muncy Bank and Trust Company and assumed by Journey Bank in connection with the merger, the benefit for Mr. Glunk in connection with his death during his employment is 350 percent of his annual base salary minus $50,000, and in connection with his death after the termination of employment, 350 percent of his last annual base salary, but not to exceed the lesser of $900,000 or the total death proceeds of the policy minus the cash surrender value of the policy.

**Employment Agreements**

The Company and Journey Bank have employment agreements with each of Messrs. Diehl, Arnold and O'Neill, the material terms of which are described below.

The Company and Journey Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. Diehl dated February 13, 2024. The Company and Journey Bank entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. Diehl on December 10, 2024. The Company and the Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. Arnold dated August 2, 2023. The Company and the Bank entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. O'Neill dated April 17, 2023.

Mr. Diehl's agreement provides for a term expiring March 14, 2027, except the term will automatically renew thereafter for successive terms of one year each unless either the Company and/or Journey Bank or Mr. Diehl gives written notice of nonrenewal to the other at least 90 days before a renewal date. Mr. Arnold's and Mr. O'Neill's agreements provide for automatic successive terms of one year each unless either the Company and/or Journey Bank or Mr. Arnold or Mr. O'Neill provides written notice of nonrenewal to the other at least 90 days before a renewal date, provided that the term of Mr. Arnold's agreement is not to extend beyond December 31, 2032, the year in which Mr. Arnold would attain 65 years of age, and, the term of Mr. O'Neill's agreement will not extend beyond December 31, 2048, also the year in which Mr. O'Neill would attain age 65 years of age

Mr. Diehl's current annual base salary is $450,000. Mr. Arnold's current annual base salary is $231,733. Mr. O'Neill's current annual base salary is $195,905. Their agreements provide that the Board of Directors of Journey Bank may provide each executive with an annual bonus, vacation, participation in any stock based incentives the Board of Directors may grant under any stock based incentive plans the Board of Directors may establish (the Company does not currently have any stock based incentive plans), and participation in all Journey Bank employee benefit plans, including but not limited to pension, profit sharing, savings, life insurance, medical/health insurance, disability insurance and other health and welfare plans made available to Journey Bank's employees generally, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements, and provided such participation does not violate any state or federal law, rule or regulation. Mr. Diehl is also provided with use of an automobile for which Journey Bank will be responsible for the costs of operation and maintenance, insurance, registration, fuel and oil. Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Arnold was provided with use of an automobile for which Journey Bank will be responsible for the costs of operation and maintenance, insurance, registration, fuel and oil.

Following a change in control of the Company or Journey Bank, if Mr. Diehl's employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause, disability or death, or if he terminates his employment for good reason, in either case within two years of the date of the change in control, he will be entitled to receive a payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of his highest annual base salary and the highest cash bonus paid to him in the prior three calendar years, and shall also be entitled to continue to participate in all employee benefits for a period of 36 months, or if he is not permitted to participate in the plans, the Company will procure for him and pay for health, life, medical and disability plans and benefits that are substantially equivalent. Under Mr. Arnold's and Mr. O'Neill's agreements, their change in control

benefit would be two times the sum of their then current annual base salary and the highest cash bonus paid to them in one of the three most recent calendar years, and they would be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans for a period of 24 months.

If an executive's employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause or if he terminates for good reason and there has been no change in control, each executive will be entitled to an amount equal to two times annual base salary and entitled to participate in all employee benefits for a period of 24 months.

Pursuant to the terms of their agreements, Mr. Diehl has agreed not to solicit the employees or customers of the Company and its affiliates or to compete with the Company or its affiliates for 24 months after the termination of employment for any reason, and Mr. Arnold and Mr. O'Neill for 12 months.

Mr. Diehl's agreement further provides that if at any time during the term of his employment his participation in any Company health or medical plan is barred by its terms and conditions or by applicable law, or if his employment is terminated upon the termination of his employment period on March 14, 2027, or if he terminates his employment without good reason at any time after he has attained 60 years of age and is not otherwise employed on a basis where he would be eligible to receive health and medical benefits under such employer's plans, Journey Bank will, upon notice from Mr. Diehl, obtain and pay for a period of up to 10 years for Mr. Diehl individual insurance plans, policies or programs which would provide to him and his spouse health and medical insurance coverage which is substantially identical to the insurance coverage to which he otherwise would be entitled as an employee, and also will pay to him an annual gross up payment with respect to each year at the highest marginal rate. If at any time Journey Bank would be required to provide such benefits to Mr. Diehl in connection with an involuntary termination without cause or for good reason, with or without a change in control, and Journey Bank otherwise is providing health and medical benefits under the circumstances provided under this paragraph, then Journey Bank's obligation to provide those benefits shall continue until the later of the 10 year period, or the otherwise applicable 36 or 24 month period.

Mr. Glunk, the Company and Journey Bank entered into an Employment Separation Agreement and Release dated February 11, 2025 pursuant to which the parties agreed that Mr. Glunk's active employment as Executive Chairman would terminate on February 28, 2025. The separation agreement provides for the Company to make a lump sum payment to Mr. Glunk in the amount of $650,000 in full consideration of the termination of his February 13, 2024 employment agreement and any severance amounts thereunder. Journey Bank also agreed to commence monthly payments of Mr. Glunk's full normal retirement benefit of $150,000 per year for 15 years in the month following his separation from service and agreed that Mr. Glunk's beneficiary would be entitled to a benefit under his split dollar plan equal to 3.5 times his annual base salary but capped at the lesser of $900,000 or the Net Death Proceeds as defined by the Split Dollar Plan. The Company agreed to maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Mr. Glunk, from the date of his termination of employment through his attaining age 65, all employee benefit plans and programs to which he was entitled prior to the date of termination of employment, if Mr. Glunk's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. If Mr. Glunk's continued participation in any health, medical or life insurance plan or program is barred, the Company has agreed to obtain and pay for, on his behalf, individual insurance plans, policies and programs which provide to him substantially equivalent coverage to what he was entitled prior to the date of termination of employment. Mr. Glunk's death during the period in which the health and medical insurance coverage benefit is to be provided is not to affect his spouse's right to continuation of the benefit through the expiration of such period. The Company also has agreed to transfer to Mr. Glunk ownership of the Jeep Gladiator company car that he has been using.

The Company also agreed that Mr. Glunk would continue to serve as a director of the Company and as its Board Chairman through the completion of his existing term and, subject to applicable legal requirements and director qualification requirements contained in the Company's bylaws or in a written policy adopted by the Board of Directors after November 11, 2023, to renominate Mr. Glunk to one additional full term of service as a director and to recommend his election to the Company's shareholders. The Company agreed to pay to Mr. Glunk an annual Chairman's fee at the rate of $75,000 per year.

**Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans**

Journey Bank has supplemental executive retirement plans, which we refer to as SERPs, with each of Messrs. Diehl, Glunk, Arnold and O'Neill, the material terms of which are described below.

The SERPs provide for certain benefit payments to the executive following his normal retirement age and continuing for 180 months. Each SERP provides for a normal retirement benefit in a specified amount and because the amount of the benefit vests over time, also provides for, or effectively provides for, early termination benefits, disability benefits, death benefits and change in control benefits. The executive will forfeit the benefits payable under a SERP to which he is a party if he violates certain restrictive covenants relating to competition with Journey Bank or the solicitation of customers of Journey Bank, or if his employment is terminated for cause. Because payments due under the SERPs vest gradually over time, the SERPs serve to encourage long employment tenure with the Company and Journey Bank.

Mr. Diehl's SERP dated April 15, 2003, as amended, provides for a normal retirement benefit of $90,000 per year at a normal retirement age of 60. On December 10, 2024, Mr. Diehl entered into a Third Amendment to the SERP to extend the commencement date for payment of the normal retirement benefit under the SERP from the first day of the month following his reaching the normal retirement age of 60 years to the first day of the month following his reaching the age of 65 years, provided that if he would terminate his employment before December 10, 2025, payments would commence the first day of the month following his reaching age 65. In addition, if Mr. Diehl continues in Journey Bank's employ after reaching the normal retirement age under the SERP of 60 years, the $90,000 annual benefit under the SERP was amended to increase at an annual rate of 3.50% until the earlier of the termination of employment or his reaching age 65, in which case the annual benefit will be $106,892. Mr. Diehl's SERP dated March 15, 2022, as amended, provides for a normal retirement benefit of $60,000 per year at a normal retirement age of 65.

Mr. Glunk's SERP dated May 17, 2016, as amended, provided for a normal retirement benefit of $150,000 per year at a normal retirement age of 63. Pursuant to his separation agreement, the Company agreed that Mr. Glunk will be entitled to the normal retirement benefit under his SERP even though he will not have reached normal retirement age at the time of his separation from service as of February 28, 2025.

Mr. Arnold's SERP dated December 15, 2010, as amended, provides for a normal retirement benefit of $90,000 per year at a normal retirement age of 65.

Mr. O'Neill's SERP dated September 24, 2020, as amended, provides for a normal retirement benefit of $100,000 per year at a normal retirement age of 60.

The SERPs further provide for the payment to the executive's beneficiary of an amount equal to his accrued benefit as of the date of his death in the event he would die prior to a separation from service, disability or a change in control. The current amount of Mr. Diehl's accrued benefit is $1,492,825, Mr. Arnold's is $611,750 and Mr. O'Neill's is $164,633.

**PROPOSAL NO. 2 RATIFICATION OF APPROVAL OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

The current members of the Audit Committee are: Edwin A. Wenner, Chair, Robert W. Dillon; Robert P. Hager, Willard H. Kile, Jr., W. Bruce McMichael, Jr.; Steven H. Shannon; Bonnie M. Tompkins. The Audit Committee met four (4) times in 2025. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter that is available on the Company's website at https://ir.journeybank.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

Each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence standards contained in the NASDAQ Stock Market rules. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Hager, who is a certified public accountant, qualifies as a "financial expert" within the SEC's definition.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. In connection with this responsibility, the Audit Committee monitors, evaluates and reports to the Board of Directors regarding the independence, qualifications and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee approves all audit engagement fees and terms associated with the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has selected S.R. Snodgrass P.C. to be the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. S.R. Snodgrass P.C. has been the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since 2014. The Audit Committee selected S.R. Snodgrass P.C. and the Board of Directors unanimously recommended that the shareholders ratify the Audit Committee's selection of S.R. Snodgrass P.C.

If a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at the Annual Meeting is against ratification, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of S.R. Snodgrass P.C., but the Audit Committee will be under no obligation to select a new independent registered public accounting firm. If the Audit Committee would select a new independent registered public accounting firm, the Board of Directors will not seek shareholder ratification of the new selection.

The Board of Directors expects that representatives of S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. will be available during the Annual Meeting, and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions.

**Audit, Audit-Related and Permitted Non-Audit Fees**

In considering the nature of the services provided by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee determined that the services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with representatives of S.R. Snodgrass P.C. and Company management to determine that they are permitted under SEC rules and regulations regarding auditor independence.

The following table summarizes the total fees for professional services rendered by S.R. Snodgrass P.C. to the Company for 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Year Ending December 31,** | **Year Ending December 31,** | **Year Ending December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Audit Fees (1) | $231081 | $232537 |
| Audit-Related Fees (2) | $16695 | $25750 |
| Tax Service Fees | $13767 | $23607 |
| All Other Fees |  |  |
|  | $261543 | $281894 |

---

(1) Audit Fees include the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and reviews of the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

(2) Audit-Related Fees relate primarily to audit services associated with the audit of employee benefit plans.

**Procedures for Pre-Approving Audit, Audit-Related and Permitted Non-Audit Services**

The Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit services (such as tax) to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is given this responsibility to ensure that providing such services will not impair the independent registered public accounting firm's independence. Pre-approval generally is provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of service and is subject to a specific budget. In addition, the Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. The Audit Committee has delegated to the committee Chair authority to pre-approve services not prohibited by law to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm and associated fees up to a maximum for any one service of $5,000. All of the services related to Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable SEC rules and the Audit Committee's pre-approval policy.

**Report of the Audit Committee**

The Company's management is responsible for preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements, for establishing and maintaining effective control over financial reporting, and for assessing the effectiveness of its control over financial reporting. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and the audit of the effectiveness of the Company's control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee's job is one of oversight. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company's audited consolidated financial statements with management and with S.R. Snodgrass P.C. ("Snodgrass"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2025. The Audit Committee has selected Snodgrass as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Snodgrass the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the SEC.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Snodgrass required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the Snodgrass' communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed Snodgrass' independence with representatives of Snodgrass.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.
