Under the Transition Agreement, Ms. Pline will continue to serve in her current capacity during the Transition Period and will work to transition her duties and responsibilities.

Ms. Pline’s retirement is not the result of any disagreement with the Company or the Bank on any matter related to the operations, policies or practices of the Company or the Bank.
