Dear Valued Depositor:
I am pleased to tell you about an investment opportunity and, just as importantly, to request your vote. Pursuant to a plan of conversion, we intend to convert from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization. To accomplish the conversion, Blue Foundry Bancorp, a newly formed holding company for Blue Foundry Bank, is conducting an offering of shares of its common stock. Enclosed you will find a Prospectus, a Stock Order Form, a Proxy Statement, a Proxy Card, and a Questions and Answers Brochure describing the proxy vote, the stock offering and the plan of conversion.
To further our commitment to our local community, we intend to establish a new charitable foundation, The Blue Foundry Charitable Foundation, Inc., in connection with the conversion. We intend to contribute to our charitable foundation a total of 750,000 shares of our common stock and $1.5 million in cash. The purpose of our charitable foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which we operate and will operate in the future and to enable our communities to share in our long-term growth. Our charitable foundation will be dedicated to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes, and may be able to support such activities in ways that are not presently available to us.
THE PROXY VOTE:
Your vote is extremely important for us to meet our goals. In addition to receiving all required regulatory approvals to undertake the conversion, we must receive the approval of our eligible depositors. NOT VOTING YOUR ENCLOSED PROXY CARD WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS VOTING “AGAINST” THE PLAN OF CONVERSION AND “AGAINST” THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNDING OF THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION. Note that you may receive more than one Proxy Card, depending on the ownership structure of your eligible accounts at Blue Foundry Bank. Please open all packages that you receive and vote all the Proxy Cards that were sent to you — none are duplicates! To cast your vote, please sign and date each Proxy Card and return the card(s) in the Proxy Reply Envelope provided. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or Internet by following the instructions on the Proxy Card.
Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you join them in voting “FOR” both proposals.
Please note:
| • | | The proceeds resulting from the sale of stock will support our business strategy. |
| • | | There will be no change to account numbers, interest rates or other terms of your accounts at Blue Foundry Bank. Deposit accounts will not be converted to stock. Your deposit accounts will continue to be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, up to the maximum legal limits. |
| • | | You will continue to enjoy the same services with the same board of directors, management and staff. |
| • | | Voting does not obligate you to purchase shares of common stock in our offering. |
THE STOCK OFFERING:
As a Blue Foundry Bank eligible depositor, you have non-transferable rights, but no obligation, to purchase shares of common stock during our Subscription Offering before any shares are offered for sale to the general public. The common stock is being offered at $10.00 per share, and there will be no sales commission charged to purchasers.
Please read the enclosed materials carefully. If you are interested in purchasing shares of common stock, complete the enclosed Stock Order Form and mail it, with full payment, in the Stock Order Reply Envelope provided. Alternatively, you may submit your original Stock Order Form by paying for overnight delivery to the address listed on the Stock Order Form. You may also hand-deliver stock order forms to Blue Foundry Bank’s office located at 217 Rock Road, Glen Rock, New Jersey, which is open between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Thursday and 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Stock Order Forms and full payment must be received (not postmarked) before 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 15, 2021. If you are considering purchasing stock with funds you have in an IRA or other retirement account, please call our Stock Information Center promptly for guidance, because these orders require additional processing time.
I invite you to consider this opportunity to share in our future as a Blue Foundry Bancorp stockholder. Thank you for your continued support as a Blue Foundry Bank customer.
Sincerely,
James D. Nesci
President and Chief Executive Officer
