Material Changes

- Bylaw Amendment: The Board amended the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws to allow waivers of the mandatory director retirement age specifically for appointments related to business combinations.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

Mr. Olson is expected to receive continued health insurance benefits and will enter into a consulting and advisory agreement post-merger. Specific terms for Mr. Olson's benefits and consulting will be disclosed in a future 8-K once finalized.
Risks and Contingencies: The effectiveness of the new board appointments is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger and the Bank Merger.
