Explanation of Responses:

1. Acquired pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 24, 2021, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), by and between New York Community Bancorp, Inc. ("NYCB") and Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. ("Flagstar") pursuant to which Flagstar merged with and into NYCB on December 1, 2022 (the "Effective Time"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger each share of Flagstar common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive 4.0151 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of NYCB common stock (the "Merger Consideration") and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable. On December 1, 2022 the closing price of Flagstar's common stock was $37.54 per share, and the closing price of NYCB's common stock was $9.19 per share. (Continued in Remarks section below.)

2. Total includes service based restricted stock units that will vest in shares of NYCB common stock over the passage of time.

3. 206,747 shares granted under Stock Award on December 1, 2022 pursuant to the Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. 2016 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, which was assumed by New York Community Bancorp, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, will vest in five approximately equal annual installments commencing on December 1, 2023.

Remarks:

Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each restricted stock unit of Flagstar ("Flagstar RSU") outstanding prior to the Effective Time was converted into a time-based restricted stock unit of NYCB ("NYCB RSU") with the number of shares underlying such NYCB RSU adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. Each converted NYCB RSU continues to be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the Flagstar RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
