Exhibit 99.2

Investor Presentation<br>Fourth Quarter 2021
Disclaimer<br>Forward<br>-<br>Looking Statements<br>This presentation contains “forward<br>-<br>looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Sec<br>urities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward<br>-<br>looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning<br>plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company.<br>The<br>se statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”,<br>“potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “woul<br>d”,<br>“annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or<br>forward<br>-<br>looking nature. Forward<br>-<br>looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, t<br>hey are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and<br>strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward<br>-<br>looking stateme<br>nts relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult t<br>o<br>predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from t<br>hos<br>e indicated in the forward<br>-<br>looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward<br>-<br>looking statements.<br>Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in th<br>e f<br>orward<br>-<br>looking statements include, among others, the following: the negative effects of the ongoing COVID<br>-<br>19 pandemic,<br>including its effects on the economic environment, our clients and our operations, including due to supply chain disruptions,<br>as<br>well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic; loan<br>concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully<br>ma<br>nage credit risk; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within ou<br>r<br>market area, including rising rates of inflation; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new<br>or<br>revised accounting standards, including as a result of the future implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss standard<br>;<br>the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients; our ability<br>to<br>successfully manage liquidity risk, especially in light of recent excess liquidity at Bridgewater Bank; our dependence on non<br>-<br>core funding sources and our cost of funds; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; our abili<br>ty<br>to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and<br>availability of some reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, as well as other alternative reference rates<br>; t<br>he composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; talent and labor shortages<br>and high rates of employee turnover; the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security<br>con<br>trols or cybersecurity<br>-<br>related incidents; interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications<br>systems or third<br>-<br>party servicers; competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as cre<br>dit unions and “fintech” companies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework; the commencement and<br>outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; the impact of recent and future legislat<br>ive<br>and regulatory changes, including changes to federal and state corporate tax rates; interest rate risk, including the effects<br>o<br>f<br>anticipated rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfo<br>lio<br>; the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial<br>borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics (including the COVID<br>-<br>19 pandemic), acts of war or<br>terrorism or other adverse external events; potential impairment to the goodwill we recorded in connection with our<br>past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including recent proposals to increase the fed<br>era<br>l corporate tax rate; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the<br>Securities and Exchange Commission.<br>Any forward<br>-<br>looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks<br>only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward<br>-<br>looking statement,<br>whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or o<br>the<br>rwise. Certain of the information contained in this presentation is derived from information provided by industry<br>sources. Although we believe that such information is accurate and that the sources from which it has been obtained are relia<br>ble<br>, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of, and have not independently verified, such information.<br>Use of Non<br>-<br>GAAP financial measures<br>In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. General Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company rou<br>tin<br>ely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non<br>-<br>GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these<br>non<br>-<br>GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them<br>understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of<br>peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor<br>are<br>they necessarily comparable to non<br>-<br>GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.<br>Reconciliations of non<br>-<br>GAAP disclosures to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in this presentation.<br>2
