Introduction ➢ COVID - 19, and the resulting guidance for Social Distancing, has created the necessity of holding our third Virtual Annual Shareholders Meeting. We appreciate your understanding of the required change and we miss being with you in person. ➢ Due to this change, our presentation today will be an abbreviated version of what had been “normal.“ There will be a shortened presentation on our results for 2021 & 1 st quarter 2022 made by our CFO, Diane Rosler. ➢ Our President and CEO, Elaine Woodland’s, presentation will address some of the projects we completed in 2021 and will address our plans for the future. ➢ We WILL conduct the normal business portion of the meeting. ➢ To supplement today's annual meeting, we will release a more detailed presentation of today's meeting as part of the investor presentation on Form 8 - K. ➢ Unlike our typical previous Annual Meetings, we will not be spending much time focusing on the past. You may find our results for 2021 in our 10 - K filing and 1st Quarter 2022 in our 10 - Q filing. These documents provide very detailed information. |

Making Connections, Corporate Culture and Commitment ➢ First Keystone Community Bank is committed to connecting with our communities, each other, and building a culture that benefits our employees, customers, and shareholders. ➢ We continued our focus in 2021 on meeting the challenges of the ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic, increasing revenue from core operating functions, improving efficiency, and reducing operating expenses. We did this in tandem with providing quality banking services to the communities we serve. |
Overcoming Unique Challenges During 2021 we continued to proactively confront the challenges of COVID - 19 ➢ In October 2020 we fully opened all branches for in - person customer service while continuing to follow CDC and PA Department of Health guidelines. ➢ Throughout 2021 we provided customer service not only in person, but also provided 24/7 service via our ATMs, Online Banking, Mobile, and Telephone Banking ➢ Marketing and Social Media initiatives were implemented to provide customer updates and education ➢ Provided fraud and scams education via social media and our website ➢ Focused on Employee Morale and Community support – “Denim Days”, Business Casual dress code, and Employee Appreciation initiatives |
Overcoming Unique Challenges ➢ The SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) began shortly after the COVID - 19 pandemic in 2020 to help business keep their workforce employed during the crisis. The program provided banks with guaranteed loans for their small business customers and allows for loan forgiveness by the SBA if the proceeds were used for directed purposes. The program ended on May 31, 2021. ➢ We participated in both the 2020 and 2021 SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP” loans) by providing in total 810 loans for $48,562,747 .. |

Looking to the Future ➢ First Keystone Corporation and First Keystone Community Bank are at an inflection point in our history. ➢ After successfully navigating the prior financial crisis (2008 - 2010) and the Covid - 19 pandemic, FKCB and many other community banks face the challenge of an uncertain future with changing demographics in its market areas, an evolving financial institutions landscape, economic unpredictability, and geopolitical volatility. ➢ The Board and Management believe that the Bank’s strengths of a sound financial position, a strong and dedicated management team, and quality customers have permitted it to meet prior challenges and will provide the foundation upon which to evolve its business model that is paramount to retaining its competitive advantage as an independent community financial services company. |
Looking to the Future ➢ Our goal is to evolve without losing the values that has made the Bank successful. ➢ Profitability and growth are primary and competing goals. Driving efficiencies throughout the Bank, though important, will be weighed against the ongoing strong needs to invest and enhance risk management and make investments in management to have the “right people” in the “right seats” on “the bus,” to drive long - term sustainable profitability. ➢ We believe that simultaneous tracts of growth, product and service enhancement, optimization and growth of branch network, staff recruitment, training and compensation are keys to future performance. |
Keys to our Success are expressed in our Mission Statement First Keystone Corporation and First Keystone Community Bank will be the independent financial services provider of choice to its customers and communities that it serves by providing quality, cost effective, customer focused financial services and products through our dedicated bankers and technology. By doing so, we will enhance our value to our shareholders through sustainable profits and dividends. First Keystone Corporation and First Keystone Community Bank recognize and value the contribution of our employees. To them, we pledge to provide opportunity for a high level of job satisfaction and an equitable exchange for their services. |
Commitment to You ➢ For more than 157 years, we have been committed to listening to our customers’ needs ➢ That commitment remains true today, and will remain into the future ➢ Our role as bankers is more important now than ever as we strive to provide financial access, support and guidance ➢ We recently launched our “Healthy Financial Habits” education campaign. COVID may have changed your life in many ways. We will help you assess your current status and help you develop healthy financial habits as you look to the future |
Commitment to You The Board of Directors, management and the entire staff are firmly focused on increasing value for our customers, our communities and our shareholders. Thank you for your confidence and continued support of First Keystone Corporation. |
