| 3. | Regulatory Filings |
The Bank will cause the Offering Circular and all other offering documents in respect of the Conversion and the Offerings to be filed, as necessary or appropriate, with applicable regulatory agencies including the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the appropriate federal and/or state Bank regulatory agencies. In addition, the Bank and KBW agree that the Bank’s counsel shall serve as counsel with respect to blue sky matters in connection with the Offerings, and that the Bank shall cause such counsel to prepare a Blue Sky Memorandum related to the Offerings including KBW’s participation therein and shall furnish KBW a copy thereof addressed to KBW or upon which counsel shall state KBW may rely.
| 4. | Fees |
For the services hereunder, the Bank shall pay the following non-refundable cash fees to KBW, in the amounts and at the times set forth below:
| (a) | Management Fee: A non-refundable cash fee in an amount of $35,000 (the “Management Fee”) shall be payable by the Bank to KBW, as follows: (i) $15,000 shall be paid immediately upon the execution of this Agreement and (ii) the remaining $20,000 shall be paid immediately upon the initial filing of the Registration Statement (whether or not such filing is publicly available). Each payment in respect of the Management Fee shall be deemed to have been earned in full when due. Should the Offerings or this Agreement be terminated for any reason, KBW shall be deemed to have earned in full, and be entitled to be paid in full, all fees then due and payable as of such date of termination. |
| (b) | Success Fee: A Success Fee shall be paid based on 1% of the aggregate purchase price of Common Stock sold in the Subscription Offering and 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price of Common Stock sold in the Community Offering. The Management Fee described in 4(a), to the extent then already paid, will be credited against the Success Fee. The obligation to pay to KBW the full Success Fee upon completion of the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering shall survive any termination of this agreement, including any termination occurring prior to the completion of such Offerings. |
| (c) | Fees for Syndicated Community Offering: If any shares of the Common Stock remain unsold after the completion of the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering, at the request of the Bank, KBW will seek to form a syndicate of registered broker-dealers to assist in a Syndicated Community Offering, on a best efforts basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a selected dealers agreement to be entered into by and between the Bank and KBW. KBW will endeavor to distribute the Common Stock among broker-dealers in a fashion which best meets the distribution objectives of the Bank and the Conversion. In the event of a Syndicated Community Offering, KBW will be paid a transaction fee not to exceed 6% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Syndicated Community Offering. The Success Fee described in 4(b) will be credited against the transaction fee. From this fee, KBW will pass onto selected broker-dealers (if any), who assist in the Syndicated Community Offering, an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts charged at such time for comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment. Fees with respect to purchases affected with the assistance of a broker/dealer other than KBW shall be transmitted by KBW to such broker/dealer. |

| (d) | In connection with the Subscription Offering, if, as a result of any resolicitation of subscribers undertaken by the Bank, KBW reasonably determines that it is required or requested to provide significant services, KBW will be entitled to additional compensation for such services, which additional compensation will not exceed $30,000. |
The terms of any Agency Agreement (as defined herein) to be entered into between the Bank and KBW in connection with the Offerings shall contain fee provisions no less favorable to KBW than those set forth above. To the extent required under applicable FINRA rules and regulations, the payment of compensation by the Bank to KBW pursuant to this Section 4 is subject to FINRA’s review thereof.
| 5. | Additional Services |
KBW further agrees to provide general financial advisory assistance to the Bank that is not in the context of any contemplated transaction, for a period of three years following completion of the Offerings, including general strategic planning, the creation of a capital management strategy designed to enhance the value of the Bank, including the formation of a dividend policy and share repurchase program, assistance with shareholder relations matters, general advice on mergers and acquisitions, and other related financial matters, without the payment by the Bank of any fees in addition to those set forth in Section 4 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Bank to obtain such services from KBW. If KBW acts as a financial advisor to the Bank in connection with any specific transactions, the terms of such engagement will be set forth in a separate agreement between the Bank and KBW.
| 6. | Expenses |
The Bank will bear all expenses of the proposed Offerings customarily borne by issuers, including, without limitation, regulatory filing fees, “Blue Sky,” and FINRA filing and registration fees; the fees of the Bank’s accountants, attorneys, appraiser, business plan consultant, transfer agent and registrar, printing, mailing and marketing and syndicate expenses associated with the Offerings; the fees set forth in Section 4; and fees for “Blue Sky” legal work. If KBW incurs any expenses on behalf of Bank in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement, the Bank will reimburse KBW for such expenses.

KBW will also be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed $35,000 (subject to the provisions of this paragraph), related to the Offerings, including, but not limited to, costs of travel, meals and lodging, photocopying, telephone, facsimile, and couriers. Clerical assistance and/or temporary staff will be billed separately. KBW will also be reimbursed for fees and expenses of its counsel not to exceed $120,000 (subject to the provisions of this paragraph). These expense caps assume no unusual circumstances or delays, and no resolicitation in connection with the Offerings. The Bank acknowledges and agrees that, in the event unusual circumstances arise or a delay or resolicitation occurs (including but not limited to a delay in the Offerings which would require an update of the financial information in tabular form to reflect a period later than that set forth in the original filing of the offering documents), such expense caps may be increased by additional amounts, not to exceed an additional $15,000 in the case of additional out-of-pocket expenses of KBW and an additional $25,000 in the case of additional fees and expenses of KBW’s legal counsel. In no event shall out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, exceed $195,000. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to or in any way impair or limit the indemnification or contribution provisions contained herein.
| 7. | Limitations |
The Bank acknowledges that all opinions and advice (written or oral) given by KBW to the Bank in connection with KBW’s engagement are intended solely for the benefit and use of the Bank for the purposes of its evaluation of the proposed Offerings. Unless otherwise expressly stated in an opinion letter issued by KBW or otherwise expressly agreed, no one other than the Bank is authorized to rely upon this engagement of KBW or any statements or conduct by KBW. The Bank agrees that any such opinion or advice, as well as this Agreement (including any of the terms hereof) shall not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time, in any manner, or for any purpose, nor shall any public references to KBW be made by the Bank or any of its representatives, without the prior written consent of KBW.
It is expressly understood and agreed that KBW is not undertaking to provide any advice relating to legal, regulatory, accounting or tax matters. In furtherance thereof, the Bank acknowledges and agrees that (a) it and its affiliates have relied and will continue to rely on the advice of its own legal, tax and accounting advisors for all matters relating to the Conversion and the Offerings, and all other matters and (b) neither it, or any of its affiliates, has received, or has relied upon, the advice of KBW or any of its affiliates regarding matters of law, regulation, taxation or accounting.
The Bank acknowledges and agrees that KBW has been retained to act solely as financial advisor to the Bank and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person, and the Bank’s engagement of KBW is not intended to confer rights upon any person not a party to this Agreement (including shareholders, employees or creditors of the Bank) as against KBW or its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents. In such capacity, KBW shall act as an independent contractor, and any duties arising out of its engagement shall be owed solely to the Bank. It is understood that KBW’s responsibility to the Bank is solely contractual in nature and KBW does not owe the Bank, or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of this Agreement.

The Bank agrees that, following the closing of the Offerings, KBW has the right to place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals at its own expense, describing its services to the Bank and a general description of such offering.

As KBW will be acting on behalf of the Bank in connection with the Conversion and the Offerings, the Bank agrees to indemnify and hold harmless KBW and its affiliates, the respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents of KBW and its affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling KBW or any of its affiliates and each of their successors and assigns (KBW and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable federal or state law, or otherwise related to or arising out of the Conversion or the Offerings or the engagement of KBW pursuant to, or the performance by KBW of the services contemplated by, this Agreement, and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred, including expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, preparing for or defending any such action or claim whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not KBW is a party; provided, however, that the Bank will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (a) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or the omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make not misleading any statements contained in any final offering circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Bank by KBW expressly for use therein or (b) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from KBW’s gross negligence or bad faith of KBW.
If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraph is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to any person otherwise entitled to indemnity in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such person hereunder, the Bank shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expenses relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Bank, on the one hand, and KBW, on the other hand, of the engagement provided for in this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided for in clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of the Bank and KBW, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, in no event shall KBW’s aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by KBW under this Agreement, For the purposes of this Agreement, the relative benefits to the Bank and to KBW of the engagement under this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received by the Bank in the Conversion and the Offerings that are the subject of the engagement hereunder, whether or not consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid or to be paid to KBW under this Agreement.

The foregoing agreement shall be in addition to any rights that KBW, the Bank or any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any right to contribution. For the sole purpose of enforcing and otherwise giving effect to the indemnification and contribution provisions of this agreement, the Bank hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this agreement is brought against KBW or any other indemnified party.
The Bank agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of KBW, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not KBW is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit, or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of KBW from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
| 12. | Definitive Agreement |
This Agreement reflects KBW’s present intention of proceeding to work with the Bank on the proposed Offerings. No legal and binding obligation is created on the part of the Bank or KBW with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as to (i) the agreement to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information set forth in Section 9, (ii) the payment of certain fees as set forth in Section 4, (iii) the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 6, (iv) the limitations set forth in Section 7, (v) the limitations of liability, the indemnification and contribution obligations and the other provisions set forth in Section 11 and (iv) those terms as may be set forth in a mutually agreed upon agency agreement between IOW and the Bank to be executed prior to commencement of the Offerings (the “Agency Agreement”), all of which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained herein, shall constitute the binding obligations of the parties hereto and which shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the completion of the services furnished hereunder and shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

| 2. | Duties and Obligations. |
KBW, as Agent, hereby agrees to perform the Services in a commercially reasonable manner and to comply with all timely, appropriate and lawful instructions received from duly authorized representatives of the Bank. KBW makes no warranties regarding the rendering of the Services (including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, security, accuracy, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose), and no additional warranties may be implied from the terms of this Agreement. The Bank will: (i) inform all of its authorized representatives, which may include attorneys, agents and advisors, that KBW shall act as the exclusive Agent and that they are authorized and directed to communicate with KBW and to promptly provide KBW with all information that is reasonably requested; (ii) cause KBW to have adequate notice of, and permit KBW to attend, meetings (whether in person or otherwise) where KBW’s attendance is, in the discretion of KBW, relevant, advisable or necessary; (iii) cause KBW to receive, as they become available, copies of the documents relating to the Plan of Conversion, the Conversion and the Offerings, to the extent KBW believes that such documents are necessary or appropriate for it to perform the Services and (iv) cause KBW to have adequate advance notice of any proposed changes to the Plan of Conversion, the proposed Services or the timetable of the Offerings. Failure by the Bank to keep KBW timely and adequately informed or to provide KBW with complete and accurate necessary information on a timely basis shall excuse KBW’s delay in the performance of its Services and may be grounds for KBW to terminate the Services pursuant to this Agreement.
The actions to be taken by KBW hereunder are deemed by the parties to be ministerial only and not discretionary. KBW, in its capacity as Agent under this Agreement, shall not be called upon at any time to give any advice regarding implementing the Plan of Conversion. The Bank shall have the sole responsibility to make any and all decisions with respect to implementing the Plan of Conversion, including but not limited to decisions regarding which customer Bank accounts are to be included in accountholder records provided to KBW.
KBW expects to subcontract certain data processing functions integral to the Services with any one or more of its affiliates or with any other party. The fees and expenses of such subcontractor shall not be billed to the Bank, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto in writing. Such subcontractor shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Agreement set forth under the heading “Confidentiality and Consumer Privacy.”
| 3. | Fees Payable to KBW. |
For the Services described above, the Bank agrees to pay KBW a non-refundable cash fee of $35,000 (the “Services Fee”). Such fee is based upon the requirements of current Banking regulations, the Bank’s Plan of Conversion as currently contemplated, and the expectation that member data will be processed as of three key record dates. Any material changes in applicable regulations or the Plan of Conversion, or delays requiring duplicate or replacement processing due to changes to record dates, may result in additional fees not exceeding $12,000 payable to KBW. The Services Fee shall be payable as follows: (i) $17,500 shall be payable immediately upon execution of this Agreement, which shall be non-refundable and deemed to be earned in full when paid and (ii) all remaining amounts shall be payable immediately upon the completion of the Offerings.

If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraph is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to any person otherwise entitled to indemnity in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such person hereunder, the Bank shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expenses relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Bank, on the one hand, and KBW, on the other hand, of the engagement provided for in this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided for in clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of the Bank and KBW, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, in no event shall KBW’s aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by KBW under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the relative benefits to the Bank and to KBW of the engagement under this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received by the Bank in the Conversion and the Offerings that are the subject of the engagement hereunder, whether or not consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid or to be paid to KBW under this Agreement.
The Bank also agrees that neither KBW, nor any of its affiliates nor any officer, director, employee or agent of KBW or any of its affiliates, nor any person controlling KBW or any of its affiliates, shall have any liability to the Bank for or in connection with such engagement except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Bank which are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from KBW’s bad faith or gross negligence. The foregoing agreement shall be in addition to any rights that KBW, the Bank or any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any right to contribution. For the sole purpose of enforcing and otherwise giving effect to the provisions of this Agreement, the Bank hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this agreement is brought against KBW or any other Indemnified Party.
KBW shall not be responsible nor liable for delays, errors or omissions arising from, relating to or made in connection with circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, acts or omissions of the Bank or any of its advisors or agents, acts of governmental authorities, acts of civil commotion or riot, insurrection, acts of military authority, war or acts of war or terrorism, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, flood, weather-related problems, acts of God or nature, mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer problems, failure or unavailability of communications or power supply or any change in law or regulation materially affecting KBW or the Bank.

In no event shall KBW be liable for: (i) acting in accordance with or relying upon any instruction, request, notice, demand, certificate, order or document from the Bank or any authorized representative acting on its behalf or (ii) for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if KBW has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Any liability of KBW shall be limited to the amount of fees paid to KBW for the Services performed by KBW as Agent pursuant to this Agreement. A claim by Bank for a return of fees paid to KBW by the Bank for the Services performed as Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any damages. This limitation of liability is intended to apply to the full extent allowed by law, regardless of the grounds or nature of any claim asserted.
The Bank agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of KBW, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not KBW is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit, or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of KBW from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
It is understood that KBW’s engagement referred to above may be embodied in one or more separate written agreements and that, in connection with such engagement, KBW may also be requested to provide additional services or to act for the Bank in one or more additional capacities. The indemnification provided hereunder shall apply to said engagement, any such additional services or activities and any modification, and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or termination of KBW’s engagement or this Agreement.
| 9. | Commencement and Termination. |
This Agreement shall commence immediately upon execution hereof by all parties and shall continue in force until the consummation or termination of the Conversion or the Offerings or the termination of this Agreement. This Agreement may only be terminated by the Bank for cause due to action by KBW constituting a material violation of applicable law or a material breach of this Agreement, which breach remains uncured for ten (10) business days after written notice of such breach is delivered by the Bank to KBW. This Agreement may only be terminated by KBW in the event of one or more of the following: (i) termination of the Advisor Agreement; (ii) circumstances described in this Agreement in the second paragraph under the heading “Miscellaneous”; (iii) action by the Bank constituting a material violation of applicable law or a material breach of this Agreement (including as described in this Agreement in the first paragraph under the heading “Duties and Obligations” or failure to pay the fees and expenses of KBW as set forth herein), which breach remains uncured for ten (10) business days after written notice of breach is delivered by KBW to the Bank or (iv) any proceeding in bankruptcy, reorganization, rehabilitation, guaranty fund action, receivership or insolvency is commenced by or against the Bank, the Bank shall become insolvent, or cease paying its obligations as they become due.

| 10. | Survival of Obligations. |
The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto, including those set forth under “Indemnification; Contribution; Limitations of Liability” above, will remain in full force and effect and will survive the consummation of the Conversion and the Offerings or the termination of this Agreement, and KBW, its affiliates, the officers, directors, employees and agents of KBW and any of its affiliates, and any person controlling KBW and any of its affiliates, shall be entitled to the benefit of the covenants and agreements thereafter.
| 11. | Miscellaneous. |
The parties hereto acknowledge that there are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement, which is for the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto. No other person or entity or their respective heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereto.
In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by KBW hereunder, KBW will provide the Bank a reasonable opportunity to resolve such uncertainty or ambiguity and in the event that such uncertainty or ambiguity is unresolved KBW may, in its sole discretion, take any action it deems appropriate or refrain from taking any action unless and until KBW receives written instructions from the Bank clarifying the ambiguity or uncertainty, and KBW shall not be liable for acting or the failure to take any action during this period. In the event of any disagreement between the Bank and any other person or entity resulting in adverse claims and demands being made herein or affected hereby, KBW shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any such claims or demands as long as such disagreement may continue, and in so refusing, shall make no delivery or other disposition under this Agreement, and in so doing shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until: (i) the right of adverse claimants shall have been finally settled by binding arbitration or finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) all differences shall have been settled by agreement among the adverse claimants and the Bank or other persons or entities and KBW shall have been notified in writing of such agreement signed by the Bank and the adverse person(s) or entity(ies). In the event of such disagreement, KBW may, but need not, tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all property in KBW’s possession pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with such legal proceedings as KBW deems appropriate, and thereupon KBW shall be discharged from all further duties under this Agreement. The filing of any such legal proceeding shall not deprive KBW of compensation or expenses paid or payable hereunder for Services, and KBW shall not be liable with respect to any suspension of performance, delay or otherwise as a result of the tendering of such property. KBW shall have no obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Agreement or towards its enforcement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or legal proceeding which would or might involve KBW in any cost, expense, loss or liability unless indemnification, satisfactory to KBW, in its sole discretion, shall be furnished by the Bank. KBW shall be indemnified for all reasonable costs (including employee time at the employee’s hourly rate determined by his annual salary) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any such action.

PLAN OF CONVERSION OF
HOYNE SAVINGS, MHC
1. Introduction. This Plan of Conversion (this “Plan”) provides for the conversion of Hoyne Savings, MHC, a federally-chartered mutual holding company (the “Mutual Holding Company”), from the mutual to the capital stock form of organization. The Mutual Holding Company currently owns one hundred percent (100%) of the common stock of Hoyne Financial Corporation, a federally-chartered corporation (the “Mid-Tier Holding Company”), which owns one hundred percent (100%) of the common stock of Hoyne Savings Bank (the “Bank”), an Illinois-chartered capital stock savings bank.
As part of the Conversion, the Mutual Holding Company will merge with and into the Mid-Tier Holding Company with the Mid-Tier Holding Company as the surviving entity (the “MHC Merger”), to be followed immediately by a merger of the Mid-Tier Holding Company into a new Delaware stock holding company, Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”), with the Holding Company as the surviving entity (the “Mid-Tier Merger”). Upon consummation of the Conversion, the MHC Merger and the Mid-Tier Merger, the Mutual Holding Company and the Mid-Tier Holding Company will cease to exist and the Holding Company will succeed to all the rights and obligations of the Mutual Holding Company and the Mid-Tier Holding Company. A Liquidation Account will be established in the Holding Company for the benefit of Depositors as of specified dates in exchange for their interests in the Mutual Holding Company and the Mid-Tier Holding Company. After consummation of the Mid-Tier Merger, the Holding Company will offer shares of Conversion Stock on a priority basis in the Offering as provided herein. The Subscription Rights granted to Participants in the Subscription Offering are set forth in Sections 8 through 11 hereof. All sales of Common Stock in the Community Offering, the Syndicated Community Offering or in the Underwritten Public Offering, or in any other manner permitted by the Bank Regulators, will be at the sole discretion of the Boards of Directors. The Conversion will have no impact on Depositors, borrowers or other customers of the Bank. After the Conversion, the Bank’s insured deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC to the extent provided by applicable law. At the discretion of the Boards of Directors, the Conversion may be effected in any other manner approved by the Bank Regulators that is consistent with the purposes of this Plan and applicable laws and regulations.
The purpose of the Conversion is to convert the Mutual Holding Company to the capital stock form of organization which will provide the Bank and the Holding Company with additional capital to grow and to respond to changing regulatory and market conditions. The capital raised in the Conversion will provide the Bank and the Holding Company with additional resources to support increased lending, the opening or acquisition of additional offices and the acquisition of other financial institutions or businesses related to banking, and for other general corporate purposes. The Conversion will also provide the Bank and the Holding Company greater corporate flexibility to effect mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations. The Conversion will also facilitate the payment of dividends to stockholders of the Holding Company, although there are no current plans to do so.
In furtherance of the Bank’s commitment to its community, this Plan contemplates that a contribution of stock and/or cash, subject to regulatory limitations, will be made to the Foundation. The further funding of the Foundation is intended to enhance the Bank’s existing community reinvestment activities in a manner that will allow the Bank’s local communities to share in the growth and profitability of the Holding Company and the Bank over the long term.
This Plan has been unanimously adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company and the Bank. This Plan must also be approved by at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast in person or by valid proxy by the Voting Members. In addition, the contribution of Common Stock to the Foundation in connection with the Offering must be approved by at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by the Voting Members. Each Voting Member, who is a Depositor, will be entitled to cast one vote for each $100, or fraction thereof, of deposits in the Bank on the Voting Record Date. Each Voting Member who was a borrower of Loomis Federal Savings and Loan Association as of October 16, 2020, which was the closing date of the merger of that institution with and into the Bank, shall be entitled to one vote for the period of time such borrowing is in existence. No Voting Member may cast more than 1,000 votes at the Special Meeting of Members. The Federal Reserve must approve this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby before it is presented to Voting Members for their approval. The Boards of Directors determined that this Plan equitably provides for the interests of the Depositors through the granting of Subscription Rights and the establishment of the Liquidation Account and the Bank Liquidation Account. Approval of this Plan by the Voting Members shall constitute their approval of each of the transactions necessary to implement this Plan, including the MHC Merger and the Mid-Tier Merger. The Federal Reserve must approve this Plan before it is presented to the Voting Members for their approval.

Persons living at the same address as indicated on the records of the Bank, whether or not related, will be deemed to be Acting in Concert, unless otherwise determined by the Boards of Directors. A person or company which acts in concert with another person or company (“other party”) shall also be deemed to be acting in concert with any person or company who is also acting in concert with that other party, except that any Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan will not be deemed to be acting in concert with its trustee or a person who serves in a similar capacity solely for the purpose of determining whether stock held by the trustee and stock held by the plan will be aggregated. The determination of whether a group is Acting in Concert shall be made solely by the Boards of Directors or Officers delegated such authority by the Boards, and may be based on any evidence upon which the Boards or such delegates choose to rely including, without limitation, the fact that such Persons have joint accounts at the Bank or that such Persons have filed joint Schedules 13D or Schedules 13G with the SEC with respect to other companies.

The Mutual Holding Company will mail to all Voting Members, at their last known address appearing on the records of the Bank as of the Voting Record Date, a proxy statement describing this Plan.

The Conversion must be completed within 24 months of the approval of this Plan by Voting Members, unless a longer time period is permitted by governing laws and regulations.
8
C. The period for the Subscription Offering will be not less than 20 days nor more than 45 days from the date Participants are first mailed a Prospectus and Order Form, unless extended. Any shares of Common Stock for which subscriptions have not been received in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale in a Community Offering, a Syndicated Community Offering or an Underwritten Public Offering, or in any other manner permitted by the Bank Regulators. All sales of shares of Common Stock must be completed within 45 days after the last day of the Subscription Offering, unless the offering period is extended by the Holding Company with the approval of the Bank Regulators.
D. Approval of this Plan by Voting Members also shall constitute approval of each of the actions, transactions and documents necessary to implement this Plan, including the MHC Merger, the Mid-Tier Merger and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Holding Company.
E. The Conversion will be effected as follows, or in any other manner that is consistent with the purposes of this Plan and applicable laws and regulations. The choice of which method to use to effect the Conversion will be made by the Boards of Directors prior to the closing of the Conversion. Each of the steps set forth below shall occur in the order set forth below pursuant to this Plan, the intent of the Boards of Directors, and applicable federal and state regulations and policy.
| (1) | The Holding Company will be organized as a first-tier stock subsidiary of the Mid-Tier Holding Company. | |
| (2) | The Mutual Holding Company will merge with the Mid-Tier Holding Company, with the Mid-Tier Holding Company as the surviving entity pursuant to the Agreement of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit A, whereby the shares of Mid-Tier Holding Company common stock held by the Mutual Holding Company will be canceled and Qualifying Depositors will constructively receive liquidation interests in the Mid-Tier Holding Company in exchange for their ownership interests in the Mutual Holding Company. | |
| (3) | Immediately after the MHC Merger, the Mid-Tier Holding Company will merge with the Holding Company, with the Holding Company as the surviving entity pursuant to the Agreement of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit B, whereby the Bank will become the wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. As part of the Mid-Tier Merger, the liquidation interests in the Mid-Tier Holding Company constructively received by Qualifying Depositors as part of the MHC Merger will automatically, without further action on the part of the holders thereof, be exchanged for interests in the Liquidation Account. |
9
| (4) | Immediately after the Mid-Tier Merger, the Holding Company will offer for sale the Holding Company Common Stock in the Offering. | |
| (5) | The Holding Company will contribute at least fifty percent (50%) of the net proceeds of the Offering to the Bank in constructive exchange for additional shares of common stock of the Bank and in exchange for the Bank Liquidation Account. |
F. The effective date of the Conversion (although, for the avoidance of doubt, the steps set forth in Section 3.E.(1) through (3) above shall occur and be effective in the order set for in Section 3.E.(1) through (3) and the effective times of such steps as set forth in all applicable filings with applicable government authorities shall reflect such order) shall be the date upon which the last of the following actions occurs: (i) the filing of Certificates of Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Federal Reserve, as required, with respect to the MHC Merger and the Mid-Tier Merger, or (ii) the closing of the issuance of shares of Conversion Stock in the Offering. The filing of Certificates of Merger relating to the MHC Merger and the Mid-Tier Merger and the closing of the issuance of shares of Conversion Stock in the Offering shall not occur until all requisite approvals of Bank Regulators and Voting Members have been obtained, all applicable waiting periods have expired and sufficient subscriptions and orders for the Conversion Stock have been received. It is intended that the closing of the MHC Merger, the Mid-Tier Merger and the sale of Conversion Stock in the Offering shall occur consecutively and substantially simultaneously.
G. The Holding Company shall register the Conversion Stock with the SEC and any appropriate state securities authorities. In addition, the Holding Company shall prepare a preliminary prospectus as well as other applications and information for filing with the SEC in connection with the offering and sale of the Conversion Stock.
H. All assets, rights, interests, privileges, powers, franchises and property (real, personal and mixed) of the Mid-Tier Holding Company and Mutual Holding Company shall be automatically transferred to and vested in the Holding Company by virtue of the Conversion without any deed or other document of transfer. The Holding Company, without any order or action on the part of any court or otherwise and without any documents of assumption or assignment, shall hold and enjoy all of the properties, franchises and interests, including appointments, powers, designations, nominations and all other rights and interests as the agent or other fiduciary in the same manner and to the same extent as such rights, franchises, interests and powers were held or enjoyed by the Mutual Holding Company and the Mid-Tier Holding Company. The Holding Company shall be responsible for all of the liabilities, restrictions and duties of every kind and description of the Mid-Tier Holding Company and the Mutual Holding Company immediately prior to the Conversion, including liabilities for all debts, obligations and contracts of the Mutual Holding Company, matured or unmatured, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise and whether or not reflected or reserved against on balance sheets, books of accounts or records of the Mid-Tier Holding Company or the Mutual Holding Company.
10
I. The home office and branch offices of the Bank shall be unaffected by the Conversion. The executive offices of the Holding Company shall be located at the current executive offices of the Mid-Tier Holding Company or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.
4. Regulatory Applications and Approvals. The Boards of Directors will take all necessary steps to effectuate the Conversion. The Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company and the Bank shall make timely applications to the Bank Regulators and filings with the SEC for any requisite regulatory approvals to complete the Conversion.
5. Sale of Common Stock. The Holding Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the Conversion Stock and shall register such Conversion Stock under any applicable state securities laws subject to Section 18 hereof. Upon registration and after the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, Common Stock shall be first offered for sale simultaneously in the Subscription Offering to Participants in the respective priorities set forth in this Plan. The Subscription Offering may begin as early as the mailing of the proxy statement for the Special Meeting of Members. The offer and sale of Common Stock prior to the Special Meeting of Members, however, is subject to the approval of this Plan by the requisite vote of the Voting Members. The Common Stock will not be insured by the FDIC. The Bank will not extend credit to any Person to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Any shares of Common Stock for which subscriptions have not been received in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale in the Community Offering, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. The Community Offering, if any, will involve an offering of unsubscribed shares directly to the general public with a first preference given to those natural persons and trusts of natural persons residing in the Community. The Community Offering, if any, may begin simultaneously with, at any time during, or after the Subscription Offering.
If feasible, any shares of Common Stock remaining unsold after the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering may be offered for sale in a Syndicated Community Offering or an Underwritten Public Offering, or in any manner that will achieve a widespread distribution of the Common Stock. The issuance of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering will be consummated simultaneously on the date the sale of Common Stock is consummated in any Syndicated Community Offering or Underwritten Public Offering, and only if the required minimum number of shares of Common Stock has been issued.
6. Purchase Price and Number of Subscription Shares. The Purchase Price for the Conversion Stock shall be a uniform price. The total number of shares of Conversion Stock to be offered in the Conversion will be determined by the Boards of Directors immediately prior to the commencement of the Subscription Offering, and will be based on the Appraised Value Range, as determined by the Independent Appraiser, and the Purchase Price. The Offering Range will be equal to the Appraised Value Range. The estimated pro forma consolidated market value of the Holding Company will be subject to adjustment within the Appraised Value Range if necessitated by market or financial conditions, with the receipt of any required approvals of the Bank Regulators, and the maximum of the Appraised Value Range may be increased by up to fifteen percent (15%) subsequent to the commencement of the Subscription Offering to reflect changes in market and financial conditions or demand for the shares.
11
In the event that the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Conversion Stock to be issued in the Conversion is below the minimum of the Appraised Value Range, or materially above the maximum of the Appraised Value Range, a resolicitation of purchasers may be required, provided that up to a fifteen percent (15%) increase above the maximum of the Appraised Value Range will not be deemed material so as to require a resolicitation. Any such resolicitation shall be effected in such manner and within such time as the Mutual Holding Company and the Holding Company shall establish, subject to any required regulatory approvals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Conversion Stock will not be issued unless, prior to the consummation of the Conversion, the Independent Appraiser confirms to the Bank, the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company and the Bank Regulators, that, to the best knowledge of the Independent Appraiser, nothing of a material nature has occurred which, taking into account all relevant factors, would cause the Independent Appraiser to conclude that the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Conversion multiplied by the Purchase Price is incompatible with its estimate of the aggregate consolidated pro forma market value of the Holding Company. If such confirmation is not received, the Holding Company may cancel the Offering, extend the Offering and establish a new Purchase Price and/or Appraised Value Range, hold a new Offering after canceling the Offering, or take such other action as the Bank Regulators may permit.
The Common Stock to be issued in the Conversion shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
7. Retention of Conversion Proceeds by the Holding Company. The Holding Company may retain up to fifty percent (50%) of the net proceeds of the Offering. The Holding Company believes that the Offering proceeds will provide economic strength to the Holding Company and the Bank for the future in a highly competitive and regulated financial services environment, and will support the growth of the Holding Company and the Bank through increased lending, acquisitions of financial service organizations, continued diversification into other related businesses and for other business and investment purposes, including the future payment of dividends and future repurchases of Common Stock as permitted by applicable federal and state regulations and policy.
8. Subscription Rights of Eligible Account Holders (First Priority).
A. Each Eligible Account Holder shall have a nontransferable subscription right to subscribe in the Subscription Offering for up to the greater of $300,000 of Common Stock, one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, or 15 times the product (rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the number of Subscription Shares offered in the Offering by a fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the Eligible Account Holder’s Qualifying Deposit and the denominator is the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Eligible Account Holders, in each case on the Eligibility Record Date, subject to the purchase limitations specified in Section 14.
12
B. In the event that Eligible Account Holders exercise subscription rights for a number of Subscription Shares in excess of the total number of such shares eligible for subscription, the Subscription Shares shall be allocated among the subscribing Eligible Account Holders so as to permit each subscribing Eligible Account Holder to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation of Subscription Shares equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which such Eligible Account Holder has subscribed. Any remaining shares will be allocated among the subscribing Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied in the proportion that the amount of the Qualifying Deposit of each Eligible Account Holder whose subscription remains unsatisfied bears to the total amount of the Qualifying Deposits of all Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied. If the amount so allocated exceeds the amount subscribed for by any one or more Eligible Account Holders, the excess shall be reallocated (one or more times as necessary) among those Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions are still not fully satisfied on the same principle until all available shares have been allocated. To ensure proper allocation of stock, each Eligible Account Holder must list on his or her subscription Order Form all accounts in which he or she had an ownership interest as of the Eligibility Record Date.
C. Officers and directors of the Bank, and their Associates, may qualify as Eligible Account Holders. However, subscription rights as Eligible Account Holders received by Directors and Officers and their Associates that are based on increases in deposits made by such persons during the 12 months preceding the Eligibility Record Date shall be subordinated to the subscription rights of all other Eligible Account Holders, except as permitted by the Bank Regulators.
9. Subscription Rights of Employee Plans (Second Priority). The Employee Plans of the Holding Company and the Bank shall have subscription rights to purchase in the aggregate up to ten percent (10%) of the Subscription Shares issued in the Offering and contributed to the Foundation, including any Subscription Shares to be issued as a result of an increase in the maximum of the Offering Range after commencement of the Subscription Offering and prior to completion of the Conversion. Consistent with applicable laws, regulations, practices and policies, the Employee Plans may use funds contributed by the Holding Company or the Bank and/or borrowed from an independent financial institution to exercise such subscription rights, and the Holding Company and the Bank may make scheduled discretionary contributions thereto, provided that such contributions do not cause the Holding Company or the Bank to fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirements. The Employee Plans shall not be deemed to be Associates or Affiliates of or Persons Acting in Concert with any Director or Officer of the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company or the Bank. Alternatively, if permitted by the Bank Regulators, the Employee Plans may purchase all or a portion of such shares in the open market after the completion of the Conversion.
13
10. Subscription Rights of Supplemental Eligible Account Holders (Third Priority).
A. Each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall have a nontransferable subscription right to subscribe in the Subscription Offering for up to the greater of $300,000 of Common Stock, one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, or 15 times the product (rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the number of Subscription Shares offered in the Offering by a fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the Supplemental Eligible Account Holder’s Qualifying Deposit and the denominator is the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, in each case on the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, subject to the availability of sufficient shares after filling in full all subscription orders of Eligible Account Holders and Employee Plans and subject to the purchase limitations specified in Section 14.
B. In the event that Supplemental Eligible Account Holders exercise subscription rights for a number of Subscription Shares in excess of the total number of such shares eligible for subscription following subscriptions by Eligible Account Holders and Employee Plans, the Subscription Shares shall be allocated among the subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders so as to permit each subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation of Subscription Shares equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which such Supplemental Eligible Account Holder has subscribed. Any remaining shares will be allocated among the subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied in the proportion that the amount of the Qualifying Deposit of such Supplemental Eligible Account Holder whose subscription remains unsatisfied bears to the total amount of the Qualifying Deposits of all Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied. If the amount so allocated exceeds the amount subscribed for by any one or more Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, the excess shall be reallocated (one or more times as necessary) among those Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions are still not fully satisfied on the same principle until all available shares have been allocated.
11. Subscription Rights of Other Members (Fourth Priority).
A. Each Other Member shall have a nontransferable subscription right to subscribe in the Subscription Offering for up to the greater of $300,000 of Common Stock or one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, subject to the availability of sufficient shares after filling in full all subscription orders of Eligible Account Holders, Employee Plans and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, and subject to the purchase limitations specified in Section 14.
B. In the event that such Other Members subscribe for a number of Subscription Shares which, when added to the Subscription Shares subscribed for by the Eligible Account Holders, Employee Plans and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, is in excess of the total number of Subscription Shares to be issued, the available shares will be allocated among Other Members so as to permit each such subscribing Other Member, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation of Subscription Shares equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which each such Other Member has subscribed. Any remaining shares will be allocated among the subscribing Other Members whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied in the proportion that the amount of the subscription of each such Other Member bears to the total amount of the subscriptions of all Other Members whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied.
14
12. Community Offering. If subscriptions are not received for all Subscription Shares offered for sale in the Subscription Offering, shares for which subscriptions have not been received may be sold in a Community Offering, and the Holding Company may utilize a direct community marketing program which may use a broker, dealer, consultant or investment banking firm experienced and expert in the sale of savings institutions securities. Such entities may be compensated on a fixed fee basis or on a commission basis, or a combination thereof. In the event orders for Common Stock in the Community Offering exceed the number of shares available for sale, shares may be allocated (to the extent shares remain available) first to cover orders of natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Community, and thereafter to cover orders of other members of the general public. In the event orders for Common Stock exceed the number of shares available for sale in a category pursuant to the purchase priorities described in the preceding sentence, shares will be allocated within the category so that each member of that category will receive the lesser of 100 shares or the amount ordered, and thereafter remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order. In connection with the allocation, orders received for Subscription Shares in the Community Offering will first be filled up to a maximum of two percent (2%) of the shares sold in the Offering, and thereafter any remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order. The Holding Company shall use its best efforts consistent with this Plan to distribute Common Stock sold in the Community Offering in such a manner as to promote the widest distribution practicable of such stock. The Holding Company reserves the right to reject any or all orders, in whole or in part, that are received in the Community Offering. In the Community Offering, any Person may purchase up to $300,000 of Common Stock in the Community Offering, subject to the purchase limitations specified in Section 14.
13. Syndicated Community Offering or Underwritten Offering. The Boards of Directors may determine to offer Subscription Shares not sold in the Subscription Offering or the Community Offering, if any, for sale in a Syndicated Community Offering, subject to such terms, conditions and procedures that will achieve the widest distribution of Common Stock, and subject to the right of the Holding Company to accept or reject in whole or in part any orders in the Syndicated Community Offering. In the Syndicated Community Offering, any Person may purchase up to $300,000 of Common Stock, subject to the purchase limitations specified in Section 14. In addition, unless otherwise approved or permitted by the Federal Reserve, orders received for Subscription Shares in the Syndicated Community Offering will first be filled up to a maximum of two percent (2%) of the shares sold in the Offering, and thereafter any remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order. Provided that the Subscription Offering has begun, the Holding Company may begin the Syndicated Community Offering at any time. The Holding Company reserves the right to reject any or all orders, in whole or in part, that are received in the Syndicated Community Offering.
15
Alternatively, the Boards of Directors may determine to offer Subscription Shares not sold in the Subscription Offering or any Community Offering for sale to or through Underwriters in an Underwritten Public Offering, subject to such terms, conditions and procedures that will achieve the widest distribution of Common Stock, and subject to the right of the Holding Company to accept or reject in whole or in part any orders in the Underwritten Public Offering. In addition, unless otherwise approved or permitted by the Federal Reserve, orders received for Subscription Shares in the Underwritten Public Offering will first be filled up to a maximum of two percent (2%) of the shares sold in the Offering, and thereafter any remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order. Provided the Subscription Offering has begun, the Holding Company may begin the Underwritten Public Offering at any time. The limitations on purchases of Conversion Stock set forth in Section 14 of this Plan shall not be applicable to sales to Underwriters in the Underwritten Public Offering. Any such Underwriter shall agree to purchase such shares from the Holding Company with a view to reoffering them to the general public at the Purchase Price, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) Any underwriting agreement shall provide that the Underwriters shall agree to purchase all shares of Conversion Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering, any Community Offering or any Syndicated Community Offering; and
(ii) The aggregate price paid to the Holding Company by or through one or more Underwriters for the Conversion Stock shall be the number of shares sold multiplied by the Purchase Price, less the amount of an underwriting discount as negotiated between the Bank, the Holding Company and the Underwriters and approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
If for any reason a Syndicated Community Offering or Underwritten Public Offering of shares of Common Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering or any Community Offering cannot be effected, or in the event that any insignificant residue of shares of Common Stock is not sold in the Subscription Offering, Community Offering, or any Syndicated Community Offering or Underwritten Public Offering, the Holding Company will use its best efforts to make other arrangements for the disposition of unsubscribed shares aggregating at least the minimum of the Offering Range. Such other purchase arrangements will be subject to receipt of any required approval of the Bank Regulators.
14. Limitations on Purchases. The following limitations shall apply to all purchases and issuances of shares of Conversion Stock:
A. The maximum purchase of Common Stock in the subscription offering by a person or group of persons through a single deposit account is $300,000. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subscribed for or purchased in all categories in the Offering by any Person or Participant, together with any Associate or group of Persons Acting in Concert, shall not exceed $300,000 of Common Stock, except that the Employee Plans may subscribe for up to ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock issued in the Offering and contributed to the Foundation.
B. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to or purchased in all categories of the Offering by Officers and Directors and their Associates in the aggregate shall not exceed twenty-six percent (26%) of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering and contributed to the Foundation.
16
C. A minimum of 25 shares of Common Stock must be purchased by each Person or Participant purchasing shares in the Offering to the extent those shares are available; provided, however, that in the event the minimum number of shares of Common Stock purchased times the Purchase Price exceeds $500, then such minimum purchase requirement shall be reduced to such number of shares which when multiplied by the price per share shall not exceed $500, as determined by the Board.
D. If the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise allocable pursuant to Sections 8 through 13, inclusive, to any Person or that Person’s Associates would be in excess of the maximum number of shares permitted as set forth above, the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to each such person shall be reduced to the lowest limitation applicable to that Person, and then the number of shares allocated to each group consisting of a Person and that Person’s Associates shall be reduced so that the aggregate allocation to that Person and his or her Associates complies with the above limits.
Depending upon market or financial conditions, the Boards of Directors, with the receipt of any required approvals of the Bank Regulators and without further approval of Voting Members, may decrease or increase the purchase limitations in this Plan, provided that the maximum purchase limitations may not be increased to a percentage in excess of five percent (5%) of the shares issued in the Offering except as provided below. If the Holding Company increases the maximum purchase limitations, the Holding Company is only required to resolicit Participants who subscribed for the maximum purchase amount in the Subscription Offering and may, in the sole discretion of the Holding Company, resolicit certain other large purchasers. In the event of such a resolicitation, the Holding Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require such persons to supply immediately available funds for the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock. In the event that the maximum purchase limitation is increased to five percent (5%) of the shares issued in the Offering, such limitation may be further increased to nine and ninety-nine hundredths percent (9.99%), subject to Federal Reserve approval, and provided that orders for Common Stock exceeding five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering shall not exceed in the aggregate ten percent (10%) of the total shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering. Decisions on whether to fulfill requests to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock in the event that the purchase limitation is so increased will be made by the Board of Directors of the Holding Company in its sole discretion.
In the event of an increase in the total number of shares offered in the Offering due to an increase in the maximum of the Offering Range of up to fifteen percent (15%) (the “Adjusted Maximum”), the additional shares may be used to fill orders of the Employee Plans before all other orders, and then will be allocated in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Plan.
For purposes of this Section 14, (i) Directors, Officers and Employees of the Bank, the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company and the Holding Company or any of their subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be Associates or a group affiliated with each other or otherwise Acting in Concert solely as a result of their capacities as such, (ii) shares purchased by Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall not be attributable to the individual trustees or beneficiaries of any such plans for purposes of determining compliance with the limitations set forth in paragraphs A and B of this Section 14, and (iii) shares purchased by a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan pursuant to instructions of an individual in an account in such plan in which the individual has the right to direct the investment, including any plan of the Bank qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code, shall be aggregated and included in that individual’s purchases and not attributed to the Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan.
17
Each Person purchasing Common Stock in the Offering shall be deemed to confirm that such purchase does not conflict with the above purchase limitations contained in this Plan.
15. Payment for Subscription Shares. All payments for Common Stock subscribed for in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering must be delivered in full to the Bank or Holding Company, together with a properly completed and executed Order Form, on or prior to the expiration date of the Offering; provided, however, that if the Employee Plans subscribe for shares in the Subscription Offering, such plans will not be required to pay for the shares at the time they subscribe but rather may pay for shares of Common Stock subscribed for by such plans at the Purchase Price upon consummation of the Conversion. Subscription funds will be held in a segregated account at the Bank.
Except as set forth in Section 14 above, payment for Common Stock subscribed for shall be made by personal check, money order or bank draft. Alternatively, subscribers in the Subscription and Community Offerings may pay for the shares for which they have subscribed by authorizing the Bank on the Order Form to make a withdrawal from the designated types of Deposit Accounts at the Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such shares. Such authorized withdrawal shall be without penalty as to premature withdrawal. If the authorized withdrawal is from a certificate account, and the remaining balance does not meet the applicable minimum balance requirement, the certificate shall be canceled at the time of withdrawal, without penalty, and the remaining balance will earn interest at the Bank’s passbook savings rate. Funds for which a withdrawal is authorized will remain in the subscriber’s Deposit Account but may not be used by the subscriber during the Subscription and Community Offerings. Thereafter, the withdrawal will be given effect only to the extent necessary to satisfy the subscription (to the extent it can be filled) at the Purchase Price per share. Interest will continue to be earned on any amounts authorized for withdrawal until such withdrawal is given effect. Interest on funds received by check, draft or money order will be paid by the Bank at not less than the Bank’s savings rate. Such interest will be paid from the date payment is processed by the Bank until consummation or termination of the Offering. If for any reason the Offering is not consummated, all payments made by subscribers in the Subscription and Community Offerings will be refunded to them, with interest. In the case of amounts authorized for withdrawal from Deposit Accounts, refunds will be made by canceling the authorization for withdrawal. The Bank is prohibited by regulation from knowingly making any loans or granting any lines of credit for the purchase of stock in the Offering, and therefore, will not do so.
16. Manner of Exercising Subscription Rights Through Order Forms. As soon as practicable after the registration statement prepared by the Holding Company has been declared effective by the SEC and the Application for Conversion has been approved by the Bank Regulators, Order Forms will be distributed to the Eligible Account Holders, Employee Plans, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members at their last known addresses appearing on the records of the Bank for the purpose of subscribing for shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering and will be made available for use by those Persons to whom a Prospectus is delivered. Each Order Form will be preceded or accompanied by a Prospectus describing the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company, the Bank, the Common Stock and the Offering. Each Order Form will contain, among other things, the following:
A. A specified date by which all Order Forms must be received by the Holding Company or its agent, which date shall be not less than 20 days, nor more than 45 days, following the date on which the Order Forms are first mailed to Participants by the Holding Company, and which date will constitute the expiration of the Subscription Offering unless extended;
18
B. The Purchase Price for shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Offering;
C. A description of the minimum and maximum number of Subscription Shares which may be subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights, or otherwise purchased in the Subscription and Community Offering;
D. Instructions as to how the recipient of the Order Form is to indicate thereon the number of Subscription Shares for which such Person elects to subscribe and the available alternative methods of payment therefor;
E. An acknowledgment that the recipient of the Order Form has received a final copy of the Prospectus prior to execution of the Order Form;
F. A statement to the effect that all subscription rights are nontransferable, will be void at the end of the Subscription Offering, and can only be exercised by delivering to the Holding Company or its agent within the subscription period such properly completed and executed Order Form, together with payment in the full amount of the aggregate Purchase Price as specified in the Order Form for the shares of Common Stock for which the recipient elects to subscribe in the Subscription Offering (or by authorizing on the Order Form that the Bank withdraw said amount from the subscriber’s Deposit Account(s) at the Bank); and
G. A statement to the effect that the executed Order Form, once received by the Holding Company, may not be modified or amended by the subscriber without the consent of the Holding Company.
Notwithstanding the above, the Holding Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept or reject orders received on photocopied or facsimiled order forms.
17. Undelivered, Defective or Late Order Form; Insufficient Payment. In the event Order Forms (i) are not delivered or are not timely delivered by the United States Postal Service, (ii) are not received by the Holding Company or are received by the Holding Company or its agent after the expiration date specified thereon, (iii) are completed or executed defectively, (iv) are not accompanied by the full required payment for the shares of Common Stock subscribed for (including cases in which deposit accounts from which withdrawals are authorized are insufficient to cover the amount of the required payment), or (v) are not mailed pursuant to a “no mail” order placed in effect by the account holder, the subscription rights of the Participant to whom such rights have been granted will lapse as though such Participant failed to return the completed Order Form within the time period specified thereon; provided, however, that the Holding Company may, but will not be required to, waive any immaterial irregularity on any Order Form or require the submission of corrected Order Forms or the remittance of full payment for subscribed shares by such date as the Holding Company may specify. The interpretation by the Holding Company of terms and conditions of this Plan and of the Order Forms will be final, subject to the authority of the Bank Regulators.
19
18. Residents of Foreign Countries and Certain States. The Holding Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with the securities laws of all states in the United States in which Persons entitled to subscribe for shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan reside. However, no such Person will be issued subscription rights or be permitted to purchase shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering if such Person resides (i) in a foreign country or (ii) in a state or other jurisdiction of the United States with respect to which any of the following apply: (a) a small number of Persons otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares under this Plan reside; (b) the issuance of subscription rights or the offer or sale of shares of Common Stock to such Persons would require the Holding Company, under the securities laws of such state, to register as a broker, dealer, salesman or agent or to register or otherwise qualify its securities for sale in such state; and (c) such registration or qualification would be impracticable for reasons of cost or otherwise.
19. Establishment of Liquidation Accounts. A Liquidation Account shall be established by the Holding Company at the time of the Mid-Tier Merger in an amount equal to the Mid-Tier Holding Company’s total stockholders’ equity as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition contained in the final Prospectus used in the Conversion, plus the net assets of the Mutual Holding Company as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition of the Mutual Holding Company prior to the effective date of the Conversion (excluding its ownership of Mid-Tier Holding Company Common Stock). Following the closing of the Mid-Tier Merger, the Liquidation Account will be maintained for the benefit of the Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain their Deposit Accounts at the Bank. Each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall, with respect to his or her Deposit Account, hold a related inchoate interest in a portion of the Liquidation Account balance in relation to his or her Deposit Account balance on the Eligibility Record Date or Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, respectively, or to such balance as it may be subsequently reduced, as hereinafter provided. The Holding Company also shall cause the Bank to establish and maintain the Bank Liquidation Account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain their Deposit Accounts at the Bank.
In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of either (i) the Bank or (ii) the Bank and the Holding Company (and only in such event) following all liquidation payments to creditors (including those to Depositors to the extent of their Deposit Accounts), each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution from the Liquidation Account in the amount of the then-adjusted subaccount balance for such Eligible Account Holder’s or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder’s Deposit Account, before any liquidation distribution may be made to any holders of the Holding Company’s capital stock. A merger, consolidation or similar combination with another depository institution or holding company thereof, in which the Holding Company and/or the Bank is not the surviving entity, shall not be deemed to be a complete liquidation for this purpose. In such transactions, the Liquidation Account shall be assumed by the surviving holding company or institution.
20
In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of either (i) the Bank or (ii) the Bank and the Holding Company (and only in such event) following all liquidation payments to creditors of the Bank (including those to Depositors to the extent of their Deposit Accounts), at a time when the Bank has a positive net worth and the Holding Company does not have sufficient assets (other than the stock of the Bank) at the time of liquidation to fund its obligations under the Liquidation Account, the Bank, with respect to the Bank Liquidation Account, shall immediately pay directly to each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder an amount necessary to fund the Holding Company’s remaining obligations under the Liquidation Account before any liquidating distribution may be made to any holders of the Bank’s capital stock and without making such amount subject to the Holding Company’s creditors. Each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the Bank Liquidation Account, in the amount of the then-adjusted subaccount balance for his or her Deposit Account then held before any distribution may be made to any holders of the Holding Company’s or Bank’s capital stock.
In the event of a complete liquidation of the Holding Company where the Bank is not also completely liquidating, or in the event of a sale or other disposition of the Holding Company apart from the Bank, each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall be treated as surrendering such Person’s rights to the Liquidation Account and receiving an equivalent interest in the Bank Liquidation Account. Each such holder’s interest in the Bank Liquidation Account shall be subject to the same rights and terms as if the Bank Liquidation Account were the Liquidation Account (except that the Holding Company shall cease to exist).
The initial subaccount balance for a Deposit Account held by an Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall be determined by multiplying the opening balance in the Liquidation Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Qualifying Deposits of such Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and the denominator of which is the total amount of all Qualifying Deposits of all Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. For Deposit Accounts in existence at both the Eligibility Record Date and the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, separate initial subaccount balances shall be determined on the basis of the Qualifying Deposits in such Deposit Account on each such record date. Such initial subaccount balance shall not be increased, but shall be subject to downward adjustment as described below.
If, at the close of business on any fiscal year end closing date, commencing on or after the effective date of the Conversion, the deposit balance in the Deposit Account of an Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder is less than the lesser of (i) the balance in the Deposit Account at the close of business on any other annual closing date subsequent to the Eligibility Record Date or Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, or (ii) the amount of the Qualifying Deposit in such Deposit Account as of the Eligibility Record Date or Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, the subaccount balance for such Deposit Account shall be reduced in an amount proportionate to the reduction in such deposit balance. In the event of such downward adjustment, the subaccount balance shall not be subsequently increased, notwithstanding any subsequent increase in the deposit balance of the related Deposit Account. If any such Deposit Account is closed, the related subaccount shall be reduced to zero. A time account shall be deemed closed upon its maturity date regardless of any renewal thereof.
21
The creation and maintenance of the Liquidation Account and the Bank Liquidation Account shall not operate to restrict the use or application of any capital of the Holding Company or the Bank, except that neither the Holding Company or the Bank shall declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of, its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause its equity to be reduced below (i) the amount required for the Liquidation Account or the Bank Liquidation Account, as applicable; or (ii) any regulatory capital requirements of the Holding Company (to the extent applicable) or the Bank. Neither the Holding Company nor the Bank shall be required to set aside funds in connection with its obligations hereunder relating to the Liquidation Account or the Bank Liquidation Account, respectively. Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders do not retain any voting rights in either the Holding Company or the Bank based on their interests in the Liquidation Account or the Bank Liquidation Account.
The amount of the Bank Liquidation Account shall equal at all times the amount of the Liquidation Account, and the Bank Liquidation Account shall be reduced by the same amount and upon the same terms as any reduction in the Liquidation Account. In no event will any Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder be entitled to a distribution that exceeds such holder’s subaccount balance in the Liquidation Account.
For the three-year period following the completion of the Conversion, the Holding Company will not without prior Federal Reserve approval (i) sell or liquidate the Holding Company, or (ii) cause the Bank to be sold or liquidated. Upon the written request of the Federal Reserve the Holding Company shall, or upon the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve the Holding Company may, at any time after two years from the completion of the Conversion, transfer the Liquidation Account to the Bank, at which time the Liquidation Account shall be assumed by the Bank and the interests of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will be solely and exclusively established in the Bank Liquidation Account. In the event such transfer occurs, the Holding Company shall be deemed to have transferred the Liquidation Account to the Bank and such Liquidation Account shall be subsumed into the Bank Liquidation Account and shall not be subject in any manner or amount to the claims of the Holding Company’s creditors. Approval of this Plan by the Voting Members and stockholders shall constitute approval of the transactions described herein.
20. Contribution to the Foundation. As part of the Offering, the Holding Company and the Bank intend to donate shares of Common Stock and cash to the Foundation, in such amounts, subject to regulatory limits, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. This contribution to the Foundation is intended to enhance the Bank’s existing community reinvestment activities and to share with the communities in which the Bank conducts its business a part of the Bank’s financial success as a community minded, financial services institution. The contribution of Common Stock to the Foundation accomplishes this goal as it enables the community to share in the growth and profitability of the Holding Company and the Bank over the long term.
The Foundation is dedicated to the promotion of charitable purposes including community development, grants or donations to support housing assistance, not-for-profit community groups and other types of organizations or civic-minded projects. The Foundation will annually distribute total grants to assist charitable organizations or to fund projects within its Community of not less than five percent (5%) of the average fair market value of Foundation assets each year, less certain expenses. In order to serve the purposes for which it was formed and maintain its Section 501(c)(3) qualification, the Foundation may sell, on an annual basis, a limited portion of the Foundation Shares.
22
For a period of five years following the Conversion, except for temporary periods resulting from death, resignation, removal or disqualification, (i) at least one director of the Foundation will be an independent director who is unaffiliated with the Holding Company and the Bank who is from the Bank’s Community and who has experience with charitable organizations and grant making, and (ii) at least one director shall be a person who is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The board of directors of the Foundation will be responsible for establishing the policies of the Foundation with respect to grants or donations, consistent with the stated purposes of the Foundation.
The contribution to the Foundation as part of the Conversion must be approved by a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by Voting Members. The decision to proceed with the formation and/or grant of Common Stock and/or cash to the Foundation will be at the sole discretion of the Boards of Directors. If the contribution to the Foundation is not approved by Voting Members, the Common Stock that would have been contributed to the Foundation as part of the Conversion will be retained by the Holding Company.
21. Voting Rights of Stockholders. Following consummation of the Conversion, the holders of the voting capital stock of the Holding Company shall have the exclusive voting rights with respect to the Holding Company.
| 22. | Restrictions on Resale or Subsequent Disposition. |
A. All Subscription Shares purchased by Directors or Officers of the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company or the Bank in the Offering shall be subject to the restriction that, except as provided in this Section or as may be approved by the Bank Regulators, no interest in such shares may be sold or otherwise disposed of for value for a period of one year following the date of purchase in the Offering.
B. The restriction on disposition of Subscription Shares set forth in paragraph A of this Section shall not apply to the following:
(1) Any exchange of such shares in connection with a merger or acquisition involving the Bank or the Holding Company, as the case may be, which has been approved by the appropriate state and federal regulatory agencies; and
(2) Any disposition of such shares following the death of the person to whom such shares were initially sold under the terms of this Plan.
C. With respect to all Subscription Shares subject to restrictions on resale or subsequent disposition, each of the following provisions shall apply:
(1) Each certificate representing shares restricted by this section shall bear a legend giving notice of the restriction;
23
(2) Instructions shall be issued to the stock transfer agent for the Holding Company not to recognize or effect any transfer of any certificate or record of ownership of any such shares in violation of the restriction on transfer; and
(3) Any shares of capital stock of the Holding Company issued with respect to a stock dividend, stock split, or otherwise with respect to ownership of outstanding Subscription Shares subject to the restriction on transfer hereunder shall be subject to the same restriction as is applicable to such Subscription Shares.
23. Requirements for Stock Purchases by Directors and Officers Following the Conversion. For a period of three years following the Conversion, no Officer, Director or their Associates shall purchase, without the prior written approval of the Bank Regulators, any outstanding shares of Common Stock except from a broker-dealer registered with the SEC. This provision shall not apply to negotiated transactions involving more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the exercise of any options pursuant to a stock option plan or purchases of Common Stock made by or held by any Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan or Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan of the Bank or the Holding Company (including the Employee Plans) which may be attributable to any Officer or Director. As used herein, the term “negotiated transaction” means a transaction in which the securities are offered and the terms and arrangements relating to any sale are arrived at through direct communications between the seller or any person acting on its behalf and the purchaser or his or her investment representative. The term “investment representative” shall mean a professional investment advisor acting as agent for the purchaser and independent of the seller and not acting on behalf of the seller in connection with the transaction.

25. Registration and Marketing. The Holding Company will register the Common Stock issued in the Conversion pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will not deregister such securities for a period of at least three years thereafter, except that the requirement to maintain the registration of such securities for three years may be fulfilled by any successor to the Holding Company. In addition, the Holding Company will use its best efforts to encourage and assist a market-maker to establish and maintain a market for its Common Stock and to list those securities on a national or regional securities exchange.
26. Tax Rulings or Opinions. Consummation of the Conversion is expressly conditioned upon prior receipt by the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company and the Bank of either a ruling, an opinion of counsel or a letter of advice from their tax advisor regarding the federal and state income tax consequences of the Conversion to the Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, the Holding Company, the Bank and the Account Holders and Voting Members receiving subscription rights in the Conversion.

27. Stock Benefit Plans.
A. The Holding Company and the Bank are authorized to adopt additional Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans in connection with the Conversion, including, without limitation, an ESOP. Existing as well as any newly created Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase shares of Common Stock in the Offering, to the extent permitted by the terms of such benefit plans and this Plan.
B. The Holding Company and the Bank are authorized to adopt stock option plans, restricted stock award plans and other Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans, provided that such plans conform to applicable regulations. The Holding Company and the Bank intend to implement a stock option plan and a restricted stock award plan no earlier than six months after completion of the Conversion.

Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans implemented more than one year following the completion of the Conversion are not subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence. Shares for such plans may be issued from authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or repurchased shares.
| 28. | Restrictions on Acquisition of Bank and Holding Company. |
| A. | (1) | The charter of the Bank may contain a provision stipulating that no person, except the Holding Company, for a period of five years following the closing date of the Conversion, may directly or indirectly acquire or offer to acquire the beneficial ownership of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of equity security of the Bank, without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve. In addition, such charter may provide that for a period of five years following the closing date of the Conversion, shares beneficially owned in violation of the above-described charter provision shall not be entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting stock in connection with any matter submitted to stockholders for a vote. | |
| (2) | For a period of three years from the date of consummation of the Conversion, no person, other than the Holding Company, shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of equity security of the Bank or the Holding Company without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve. Nothing in this Plan shall prohibit the Holding Company from taking actions permitted under 12 C.F.R. Section 239.63(f). |
25
B. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Holding Company may contain a provision stipulating that in no event shall any record owner of any outstanding shares of Common Stock who beneficially owns in excess of ten percent (10%) of such outstanding shares be entitled or permitted to any vote with respect to any shares held in excess of ten percent (10%).
29. Payment of Dividends and Repurchase of Stock.
A. The Holding Company shall comply with applicable regulations in the repurchase of any shares of its capital stock following consummation of the Conversion. The Holding Company shall not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of, its capital stock, if such dividend or repurchase would reduce its capital below the amount then required for the Liquidation Account.
B. The Bank shall not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of, its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause its regulatory capital to be reduced below its applicable regulatory capital requirements or the Bank Liquidation Account.
30. Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. By voting to approve this Plan, Voting Members will be voting to adopt the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Holding Company.
31. Consummation of Conversion and Effective Date. The effective date of the Conversion shall be the date upon which the Certificates of Merger with respect to the MHC Merger and the Mid-Tier Merger are filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and the Federal Reserve, as required. The Certificates of Merger shall be filed after all requisite regulatory, depositor and stockholder approvals have been obtained, all applicable waiting periods have expired, and sufficient subscriptions and orders for Subscription Shares have been received. The closing of the issuance and sale of all shares of Conversion Stock in the Offering shall occur simultaneously on the effective date of the Conversion.
32. Expenses of Conversion. The Parties may retain and pay for the services of legal, financial and other advisors, including one or more Underwriters or securities brokers and an independent appraisal firm, to assist in connection with any or all aspects of the Conversion, the Offering and the contribution to the Foundation, and such Parties shall use their best efforts to assure that such expenses are reasonable.
33. Amendment or Termination of Plan. If deemed necessary or desirable, this Plan may be substantively amended by the Boards of Directors as a result of comments from the Bank Regulators or otherwise at any time by the Boards of Directors prior to the Special Meeting of Members to vote on this Plan, and at any time thereafter by the Boards of Directors with the concurrence of the Bank Regulators.

HOYNE BANCORP, INC.
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”).
SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 850 New Burton Road, Suite 201, Dover, Delaware 19904, Kent County. The name of the registered agent at that address is Cogency Global Inc.
THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “Delaware Code”).
FOURTH:
A. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is ten million (10,000,000) consisting of:
| 1. | Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand (9,500,000) shares of Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); and |
| 2. | Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). |
B. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (such certificate being hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, without a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Preferred Stock Designation.
C. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, in no event shall any record owner of any outstanding Common Stock which is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a person who, as of any record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on any matter, beneficially owns in excess of 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Limit”), be entitled to vote, or permitted to cast any vote in respect of, the shares held in excess of the Limit, except that such restriction and all restrictions set forth in this Section C shall not apply to any tax qualified employee stock benefit plan established by the Corporation, which shall be able to vote in respect to shares held in excess of the Limit. The number of votes which may be cast by any record owner by virtue of the provisions hereof in respect of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person owning shares in excess of the Limit shall be a number equal to the total number of votes which a single record owner of all Common Stock owned by such person would be entitled to cast, after giving effect to the provisions hereof, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of such class or series which are both beneficially owned by such person and owned of record by such record owner and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person owning shares in excess of the Limit.
| 2. | The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation: |
(a) “Affiliate” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect on the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation.
(b) “Beneficial ownership” shall be determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any successor rule or statutory provision), or, if said Rule 13d-3 shall be rescinded and there shall be no successor rule or statutory provision thereto, pursuant to said Rule 13d-3 as in effect on the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that a person shall, in any event, also be deemed the “beneficial owner” of any Common Stock:
(1) which such person or any of its affiliates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; or
(2) which such person or any of its affiliates has (i) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (but shall not be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any voting shares solely by reason of an agreement, contract, or other arrangement with this Corporation to effect any transaction which is described in any one or more of clauses of Article EIGHTH) or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants, options or otherwise, or (ii) sole or shared voting or investment power with respect thereto pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise (but shall not be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any voting shares solely by reason of a revocable proxy granted for a particular meeting of stockholders, pursuant to a public solicitation of proxies for such meeting, with respect to shares of which neither such person nor any such affiliate is otherwise deemed the beneficial owner); or
2
(3) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such first mentioned person or any of its affiliates acts as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of capital stock of this Corporation; and provided further, however, that (1) no Director or Officer of this Corporation (or any affiliate of any such Director or Officer) shall, solely by reason of any or all of such Directors or Officers acting in their capacities as such, be deemed, for any purposes hereof, to beneficially own any Common Stock beneficially owned by another such Director or Officer (or any affiliate thereof), and (2) neither any employee stock ownership plan or similar plan of this Corporation or any subsidiary of this Corporation, nor any trustee with respect thereto or any affiliate of such trustee (solely by reason of such capacity as trustee), shall be deemed, for any purposes hereof, to beneficially own any Common Stock held under any such plan. For purposes of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of Common Stock of a person, the outstanding Common Stock shall include shares deemed owned by such person through application of this subsection but shall not include any other Common Stock which may be issuable by this Corporation pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants, options, or otherwise. For all other purposes, the outstanding Common Stock shall include only Common Stock then outstanding and shall not include any Common Stock which may be issuable by this Corporation pursuant to any agreement, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, warrants, options, or otherwise.
(c) A “person” shall include an individual, firm, a group acting in concert, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint venture, a pool, a joint stock company, a trust, an unincorporated organization or similar company, a syndicate or any other group formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities, or any other entity.
3. The Board of Directors shall have the power to construe and apply the provisions of this Section C and to make all determinations necessary or desirable to implement such provisions, including but not limited to matters with respect to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any person, (ii) whether a person is an affiliate of another, (iii) whether a person has an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with another as to the matters referred to in the definition of beneficial ownership, (iv) the application of any other definition or operative provision of this Section C to the given facts, or (v) any other matter relating to the applicability or effect of this Section C.
4. The Board of Directors shall have the right to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own Common Stock in excess of the Limit (or holds of record Common Stock beneficially owned by any person in excess of the Limit) supply the Corporation with complete information as to (i) the record owner(s) of all shares beneficially owned by such person who is reasonably believed to own shares in excess of the Limit, and (ii) any other factual matter relating to the applicability or effect of this Section C as may reasonably be requested of such person.
3
5. Any constructions, applications, or determinations made by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section C in good faith and on the basis of such information and assistance as was then reasonably available for such purpose shall be conclusive and binding upon the Corporation and its stockholders.
6. In the event any provision (or portion thereof) of this Section C shall be found to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of this Section C shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been stricken herefrom or otherwise rendered inapplicable, it being the intent of this Corporation and its stockholders that such remaining provision (or portion thereof) of this Section C remain, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicable and enforceable as to all stockholders, including stockholders owning an amount of stock in excess of the Limit, notwithstanding any such finding.
D. Except as otherwise provided by law or expressly provided in Section C, the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote (after giving effect, if required, to the provisions of Section C) shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, and every reference in this Certificate of Incorporation to a proportion of capital stock (or the holders thereof) for purposes of determining any quorum requirement or any requirement for stockholder consent or approval shall be deemed to refer to such proportion of the votes (or the holders thereof) then entitled to be cast in respect of such capital stock.
E. Subject to the provisions of law and the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock having a preference as to dividends over the Common Stock then outstanding, dividends may be paid on the Common Stock at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them, respectively, after: (i) payment or provision for payment of the Corporation’s debts and liabilities; (ii) distributions or provision for distributions in settlement of the Liquidation Account established by the Corporation, as described in Section F of this Article FOURTH below; and (iii) distributions or provisions for distributions to holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock in the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

In the event of a complete liquidation involving (i) the Corporation or (ii) Hoyne Savings Bank, an Illinois savings bank that will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, the Corporation must comply with the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the provisions of the Plan of Conversion with respect to the amount and priorities of each Eligible Account Holder’s and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder’s interests in the Liquidation Account. The interest of an Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder in the Liquidation Account does not entitle such account holders to voting rights.

FIFTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its Directors and stockholders:
A. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the Directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.
B. The Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes for election of directors.
C. Subject to the rights of any class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by a consent in writing by such stockholders.
D. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directorships (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) (the “Whole Board”).
SIXTH:
A. The number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. The Directors shall be divided into three classes, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders one year thereafter and the term of office of the third class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders two years thereafter. At each annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification and election, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the shares voted of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the elections of directors (unless otherwise required by law, regulation or by the listing standards of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded).
5
B. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filled only by a majority vote of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and Directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been chosen expires. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.
C. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of Directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
D. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any Director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation), voting together as a single class.
SEVENTH: The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH), voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provisions of the Bylaws of the Corporation.
EIGHTH: The Board of Directors of the Corporation, when evaluating any offer of another person to (A) make a tender or exchange offer for any equity security of the Corporation, (B) merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation or entity or (C) purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Corporation, may, in connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best interest of the Corporation and its stockholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the social and economic effect of acceptance of such offer on: the Corporation’s present and future customers and employees and those of its subsidiaries; the communities in which the Corporation and its Subsidiaries operate or are located; the ability of the Corporation to fulfill its corporate objectives as a savings and loan holding company; and the ability of its subsidiary bank to fulfill the objectives under applicable statutes and regulations.

NINTH:
A. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution process, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or an Officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, Officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, Officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation, the Delaware Code, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), or any other applicable regulation or judicial precedent that permits broader indemnification rights, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
B. The right to indemnification conferred in Section A of this Article NINTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, and other reasonable expenses) incurred in defending or participating in any such proceeding, including appeals, in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware Code requires an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Director or Officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) such advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an unsecured undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section B or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections A and B of this Article NINTH shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
7
C. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article NINTH shall be deemed contract rights, vested upon an indemnitee’s acceptance of a role with the Corporation, and shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise. No amendment, modification, or repeal of this Article NINTH shall adversely affect any right or protection of an indemnitee existing at the time of such amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such change.
D. The Corporation shall maintain insurance, at its expense, to the fullest extent practicable, to protect itself and any Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under applicable law, including without limitation, the Delaware Code.
E. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the same or lesser extent as provided to Directors and Officers under this Article NINTH. Such authorization shall be made in a manner consistent with applicable law and shall not diminish the rights of Directors and Officers under this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and Officers of the Corporation.
F. If a Director or Officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in this Article NINTH, the Corporation shall indemnify such Director or Officer for all expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
G. If any provision of this Article NINTH is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
TENTH: A Director or Officer of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director or Officer, as applicable, except for liability (i) for any breach of the Director’s or Officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) with respect to Directors, under Section 174 of the Delaware Code, (iv) for any transaction from which the Director or Officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) with respect to Officers, in any action by or in the right of the Corporation. If the Delaware Code is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Code, as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 2. An annual meeting of the stockholders may be called by or upon the direction of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or a majority of the authorized directorship of the Board of the Corporation and special meetings of stockholders may be called by or upon the direction of a majority of the authorized directorship of the Board of the Corporation.

Such notice shall also specify the relevant record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting and such notice shall also indicate the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders may attend and vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States Mail, addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the Corporation as of the record date prescribed in Section 4 of this Article II of these Bylaws, with postage thereon prepaid. When any stockholders’ meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of any meeting adjourned for less than thirty (30) days or of the business to be transacted thereat, other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken. Notice may be waived by the unanimous action of the stockholders. Written notice may be given by means of electronic transmission or other means as permitted by the DGCL.
B. At any time upon the request of any person or persons entitled to call a special meeting, the Secretary of the Corporation shall notify stockholders of the call of the special meeting, to be held at such time and place as the notice shall specify, but in no event shall such notice specify a time more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.
Section 4. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders.

Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 6. Subject to the limitations contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.A of this Article II of these Bylaws. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating that it will be held with those present in person or by proxy constituting a quorum, then except as otherwise required by law, those present in person or by proxy at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting.

When ownership stands in the name of two (2) or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the Corporation to the contrary, at any meeting of the stockholders any one (1) or more of such stockholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which such ownership is entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting votes, in person or by proxy, by the several persons in whose names shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which those persons are entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such stock and present in person or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.
Section 9. Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by an officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a person holding a power under a trust instrument may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, but no such person shall be entitled to vote shares held by him or her without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public authority by which such receiver was appointed.
A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the Corporation, nor shares held by another corporation, where a majority of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.
Section 10. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board shall appoint any persons other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If the Board so appoints either one (1) or three (3) such inspectors, that appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the Chairman of the Board or the President.
Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law or regulation, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares of stock and the voting power of each share, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.
3

Section 11.
A. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order.

C.

To be timely, a Stockholder Notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of the Corporation’s proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders (“Proxy Statement Date”); provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than sixty (60) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the elections of such nominees as directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected; (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner and (iii) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the Corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative statement of such intent, a “Stockholder Notice”). The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
4
D. Notwithstanding anything in Section (C) above to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least eighty-five (85) days prior to the Proxy Statement Date, a stockholder’s notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
E. Only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defectively proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.
F. For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or other means deemed compliant with SEC Regulation FD.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 11. Nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Hoyne Financial Corporation
Hoyne Savings Bank
4786 N. Milwaukee Avenue
Chicago, IL 60630
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion regarding the material U.S. federal and Illinois income tax consequences resulting from the proposed conversion of Hoyne Savings, MHC, a federally-chartered mutual holding company (“Mutual Holding Company”), from the mutual to capital stock form of organization (the “Conversion”) pursuant to the Plan of Conversion of Hoyne Savings, MHC approved by the Board of Directors of Mutual Holding Company on May 16, 2025 (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.
Description of the Transaction
The Plan contemplates that the Conversion will be affected as follows, in the order set forth below:
| 1. | Mutual Holding Company will merge pursuant to applicable federal law with and into Hoyne Financial Corporation, a federally-chartered corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mutual Holding Company (“Mid-Tier Holding Company”) with Mid-Tier Holding Company being the surviving entity (the “MHC Merger”). In the MHC Merger, the shares of Mid-Tier Holding Company common stock held by Mutual Holding Company will be canceled without any consideration being paid thereof and Qualifying Depositors (i.e., Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders) of Hoyne Savings Bank, a Illinois-chartered capital stock savings association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mid-Tier Holding Company (the “Bank”), will constructively receive liquidation interests in Mid-Tier Holding Company in exchange for their liquidation interests in Mutual Holding Company (collectively, the “MHC Merger”). The MHC Merger will be accomplished pursuant to that certain Agreement of Merger between Hoyne Savings, MHC and Hoyne Financial Corporation (the “MHC Merger Agreement”). |
| 2. | Immediately following the completion of the MHC Merger, Mid-Tier Holding Company will merge pursuant to applicable federal and state law with and into Hoyne Bancorp, Inc., a newly-formed Delaware corporation (“Holding Company”), with Holding Company being the surviving company (the “Mid-Tier Merger”) and the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. As part of the Mid-Tier Merger, the liquidation interests in Mid-Tier Holding Company constructively received by Qualifying Depositors of the Bank as part of the MHC Merger will automatically, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be exchanged for interests in the Liquidation Account of Holding Company. The Mid-Tier Merger will be accomplished pursuant to that certain Agreement of Merger between Hoyne Financial Corporation and Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (the “Mid-Tier Merger Agreement”). |

| 3. | Immediately after completion of the Mid-Tier Merger, Holding Company will offer for sale a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holding Company (“Holding Company Common Stock”) in the Offering that will represent ownership by the purchasers thereof of all the outstanding shares of Holding Company immediately after the Offering. |
In the Mid-Tier Merger, a Liquidation Account will be established by Holding Company in an amount equal to Mid-Tier Holding Company’s total stockholders’ equity as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition contained in the final Prospectus used in the Offering, plus the net assets of Mutual Holding Company as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition of Mutual Holding Company prior to the effective date of the Conversion (excluding its ownership of Mid-Tier Holding Company Common Stock). Following the closing of the Mid-Tier Merger, the Liquidation Account will be maintained for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain their Deposit Accounts at the Bank. Each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder will, with respect to his, her or its Deposit Account, hold a related inchoate interest in a portion of the Liquidation Account balance in relation to his, her or its Deposit Account balance on the Eligibility Record Date or Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, respectively, or to such balance as it may be subsequently reduced, as provided in the Plan. In addition, Holding Company will cause the Bank to establish and maintain the Bank Liquidation Account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain their Deposit Accounts at the Bank and liquidation interests in the Bank Liquidation Account will be distributed by Holding Company immediately after completion of the Mid-Tier Merger to Qualifying Depositors.
In the MHC Merger, a liquidation account will be established by Mid-Tier Holding Company in an amount equal to the net assets of Mutual Holding Company as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition of Mutual Holding Company prior to the effective date of the Conversion (excluding its ownership of Mid-Tier Holding Company common stock). Such liquidation account shall be established and maintained on terms generally consistent with the description of the Liquidation Account established in connection with the Mid-Tier Merger and liquidation interest in such account will be constructively issued in the MHC Merger to Qualifying Depositors in exchange for their liquidation interests in Mutual Holding Company.
At all times prior to the effective time of the Mid-Tier Merger, Holding Company has had, and will have had, no capital stock outstanding (other than an initial share that will be issued to Mid-Tier Holding Company to approve certain organizational actions of Holding Company, which initial share will be redeemed prior to the Mid-Tier Merger) and has not conducted, and will not conduct, any business other than as necessary to consummate the transactions set forth in the Mid-Tier Merger Agreement. Immediately after the Mid-Tier Merger, only the liquidation interests in the Liquidation Account will be outstanding and all such liquidation interests will be issued to Qualifying Depositors in exchange for the liquidation interests in Mid-Tier Holding Company they constructively received as part of the MHC Merger. As part of the Conversion, nontransferable rights to subscribe for Holding Company Common Stock in the Offering will be granted, in order of priority, to Eligible Account Holders, the Bank’s and Holding Company’s tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and certain Other Members of Mutual Holding Company (the “Subscription Offering”). Immediately after completion of the Mid-Tier Merger, such subscription rights will be effectuated. Holding Company will also offer shares of Holding Company Common Stock not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering, if any, for sale in a Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering to certain members of the general public.

As a result of the foregoing transactions, Holding Company will be a publicly-held corporation whose shares of common stock are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Bank will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding Company and will continue to carry on its business and activities as conducted immediately prior to the Conversion.
Opinion
In rendering this opinion, we have examined the Plan, MHC Merger Agreement and Mid-Tier Merger Agreement and have reviewed and relied upon (i) representations made to us by duly authorized officers of Mutual Holding Company, Mid-Tier Holding Company, Holding Company and the Bank in a letter dated [___], 2025 (the “Representation Letter”) and (ii) letters from RP Financial, Inc. to the Board of Directors of Mutual Holding Company, Mid-Tier Holding Company, Holding Company and the Bank dated [___], 2025 stating its belief as to certain valuation matters discussed below (each an “Appraisal Letter” and collectively, the “Appraisal Letters”). We have also examined such other agreements, documents, corporate records and other materials as we have deemed necessary in order for us to render the opinions referred to in this letter. In such review and examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and authority of the parties who executed such documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
Our opinion is based, in part, on the assumptions that (i) the Conversion described herein will occur in accordance with the terms of the Plan, MHC Merger Agreement and Mid-Tier Merger Agreement (without the waiver or modification of any terms or conditions thereof and without taking into account any amendment thereof that we have not approved) and the facts and representations set forth or referred to in this opinion letter, and that such facts and representations, as well as the facts set forth in the Plan, MHC Merger Agreement and Mid-Tier Merger Agreement are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof and will be true, correct and complete as of the date and time of each of the MHC Merger, Mid-Tier Merger and Offering, (ii) any representation set forth in the Representation Letters qualified by knowledge, intention, belief, disclaimer of responsibility or any similar qualification is, and will be as of the date and time of each of the MHC Merger, Mid-Tier Merger and Offering, true, correct and complete without such qualification and (iii) the conclusions expressed in the Appraisal Letters are factually correct. You have not requested that we undertake, and we have not undertaken, any independent investigation of the accuracy of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to herein.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
For the purposes indicated above, and based upon the facts, assumptions and representations set forth or referred to herein, it is our opinion that for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| 1. | The merger of Mutual Holding Company with and into Mid-Tier Holding Company pursuant to applicable federal laws will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. |

| 3. | Mutual Holding Company will not recognize any gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to Mid-Tier Holding Company and the assumption by Mid-Tier Holding Company of Mutual Holding Company’s liabilities, if any, in constructive exchange for liquidation interests in Mid-Tier Holding Company or on the constructive distribution of such liquidation interests to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. |

| 12. | The holding period of the assets of Mid-Tier Holding Company to be received by Holding Company will include the period during which such assets were held by Mid-Tier Holding Company. |
| 13. | Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will not recognize any gain or loss upon the constructive exchange of their liquidation interests in Mid-Tier Holding Company for interests in the liquidation account of Holding Company. |
| 14. | It is more likely than not that no income will be recognized by Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members upon distribution to them of nontransferable subscription rights to purchase shares of Holding Company Common Stock. Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members will not realize any taxable income as the result of the exercise by them of the nontransferable subscriptions rights. |
| 15. | It is more likely than not that no income will be recognized by Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders upon the constructive distribution to them of rights in the Bank Liquidation Account. |
| 16. | It is more likely than not that the basis of the shares of Holding Company Common Stock purchased by Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members in the Subscription Offering by the exercise of the nontransferable subscription rights will be the purchase price paid therefor. |
| 17. | The holding period of the shares of Holding Company Common Stock purchased by Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members in the Subscription Offering pursuant to the exercise of the nontransferable subscription rights will commence on the date the right to acquire such stock was exercised. |
| 18. | No gain or loss will be recognized by Holding Company on the receipt of money in exchange for shares of Holding Company Common Stock in the Offering. |
Our opinions under paragraphs 14 and 16 are based on the position that the subscription rights to purchase shares of Holding Company Common Stock received by Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members have a fair market value of zero at the time such subscription rights are distributed to Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members. We understand that the subscription rights will be granted at no cost to the recipients, will be legally nontransferable and of short duration, and will provide the recipient with the right only to purchase shares of Holding Company Common Stock at the same price to be paid by members of the general public in any Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering. It is also our understanding that no person will receive any payment, whether in money or property, in lieu of the issuance of subscription rights. We also note that the Internal Revenue Service has not in the past concluded that subscription rights have value. In addition, we are relying on the Appraisal Letter from RP Financial, Inc. stating that the subscription rights do not have any ascertainable market value at the time of the distribution or at the time the rights are exercised in the Subscription Offering.

If the subscription rights are subsequently found to have a fair market value greater than zero, income may be recognized by various recipients of the subscription rights (in certain cases, whether or not the rights are exercised) and Holding Company and/or the Bank may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the distribution of the subscription rights.
Our opinion under paragraph 15 above is based on the premise that the benefit provided by the Bank Liquidation Account supporting the payment of the Liquidation Account in the event Holding Company lacks sufficient net assets has a fair market value of zero immediately after the effective time of the Mid-Tier Merger. We understand that (i) there is no history of any holder of a liquidation account receiving any payment attributable to a liquidation account of a solvent bank and/or holding company (except as set forth below) and assume for purposes of our opinion that this is correct,; (ii) the interests in the Liquidation Account and Bank Liquidation Account are not transferable; (iii) the amounts due under the Liquidation Account with respect to each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder (and corresponding amounts due under the Bank Liquidation Account) will be reduced as their deposits in the Bank are reduced as described in the Plan; (iv) holders of an interest in a liquidation account have received payments of their interests in limited instances and these instances involve the purchase and assumption of a bank’s assets and liabilities by a credit union, and we assume for purposes of our opinion that this is correct; and (v) the Bank Liquidation Account payment obligation arises only if Holding Company lacks sufficient net assets to fund the Liquidation Account or if the Bank (or the Bank and Holding Company) enters into a transaction to transfer the Bank’s assets and liabilities to a credit union. In addition, we are relying on the Appraisal Letter from RP Financial, Inc. stating its belief that the benefit provided by the Bank Liquidation Account supporting the payment of the Liquidation Account in the event Holding Company lacks sufficient net assets does not have any economic value immediately after the effective time of the Mid-Tier Merger.
If such rights in the Bank Liquidation Account are subsequently found to have a fair market value greater than zero, income may be recognized by each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder in the amount of such fair market value upon the constructive distribution to them of such rights in the Bank Liquidation Account.
Illinois Income Tax Consequences
Section 201(a) of the Illinois Income Tax Act, as amended (35 ILCS 5) (the “Illinois Income Tax Act”), imposes a tax measured by net income on every individual, corporation, trust and estate on the privilege of earning or receiving income in or as a resident of the State of Illinois. Additionally, Section 201(c) of the Illinois Income Tax Act imposes a Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax on every corporation, partnership, and trust, which is measured by net income and is for the privilege of earning or receiving income in or as a resident of the State of Illinois. Section 202 of the Illinois Income Tax Act defines “net income” as base income allocable to Illinois, less the standard exemption and certain deductions. In the case of a corporation, “base income” is defined as the taxpayer’s taxable income reported for U.S. federal income tax purposes subject to certain modifications.1 Similarly, “base income” in the case of an individual is defined as the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income as reported for U.S. federal income tax purposes subject to the modifications in Section 203(a)(2) of the Illinois Income Tax Act.2 The Illinois Income Tax Act does not require a modification to add back gain or loss related to a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Except as otherwise expressly provided, Illinois conforms to the Code.

For the purposes indicated above, and based upon the facts, assumptions and representations set forth or referred to herein, it is our opinion that for Illinois income tax purposes:
| 1. | The above described U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan will be respected in the computation of the Illinois net income of Mutual Holding Company, Mid-Tier Holding Company and Holding Company for purposes of the Illinois Corporate Income Tax and Illinois Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax. |
| 2. | The above described U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan will be respected in the computation of the net income of an individual required to file an Illinois income tax return. |
Conclusion
The opinions expressed in this letter are based on the Code, the Income Tax Regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department thereunder, the Illinois Income Tax Act, the regulations promulgated by the Illinois Department of Revenue thereunder and judicial authority reported as of the date hereof. We have also considered the positions of the Internal Revenue Service and the Illinois Department of Revenue (collectively, “Tax Authorities”) reflected in published and private rulings. Although we are not aware of any pending changes to these authorities that would alter our opinions, there can be no assurances that future legislative or administrative changes, court decisions or interpretations by the Tax Authorities will not significantly modify the statements or opinions expressed herein. We do not undertake to make any continuing analysis of the facts or relevant law following the date of this letter or to notify you of any changes to such facts or law.
Our opinion is limited to those U.S. federal and Illinois income tax issues specifically considered herein. We do not express any opinion as to any other federal or Illinois tax issues, and do not express any opinion as to tax issues under the laws of any state (other than Illinois) or any local or foreign tax law issues, arising from or related to the transactions contemplated by the Plan. Although the discussion herein is based upon our best interpretation of existing sources of law and expresses what we believe a court would properly conclude if presented with these issues, no assurance can be given that such interpretations would be followed if they were to become the subject of judicial or administrative proceedings.
This opinion is furnished to Mutual Holding Company, Mid-Tier Holding Company and Holding Company for their benefit in connection with the Conversion and is not to be relied upon, for any other purpose, in whole or in part, without our express prior written consent. This letter is not to be relied upon for the benefit of any other person.

In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours, |
Exhibit 10.1
WALTER F. HEALY
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____ day of __________, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), by and among Hoyne Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and sole shareholder of the Bank (the “Company”), Hoyne Savings Bank, an Illinois chartered stock savings bank (“Bank”) (the Company and the Bank are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Employer”), and _________________ (“Executive”), and shall become effective and binding as of the date set forth above.
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Bank; and
WHEREAS, each of the Company and the Bank desires to continue to employ the Executive in such executive capacity in the conduct of its business, and the Executive desires to be so employed on the terms contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereto agree as follows:
| 1. | Employment and Employment Period. The Employer hereby employs the Executive and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Employer, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for a period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Time, subject to earlier termination or extension as provided herein (the “Term”). On the first anniversary date of the Effective Time, and on each succeeding anniversary date (each, an “Anniversary Date”), the Term shall extend automatically for one (1) additional year beyond the initial Term or the extended Term, as the case may be, so that the Term shall continue to be three (3) years from the date of such extension, unless either the Employer or the Executive by written notice to the other given at least ninety (90) days prior to such Anniversary Date notifies the other of its intent not to extend the same. In the event that notice not to extend is given by either the Employer or the Executive, this Agreement shall terminate as of the last day of the initial Term or such extended Term. Reference herein to the Term of this Agreement shall refer to both such initial Term and any extended Terms. |
| 2. | Capacity and Extent of Service. |
| (a) | During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Bank. In addition, during the Term, the Executive shall be appointed to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank and shall be nominated to stand for election as a director of the Company. |
| (b) | The Executive shall be employed on a full-time basis as provided above and shall be assigned only such duties and tasks as are commensurate with those customarily held by a person in such positions. It is the intention of the Employer that the Executive shall be subject to the direction and supervision of the Board of the Employer. |
| (c) | During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall devote his full business time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 2(d), the Executive shall not engage in any other business activity during the Term of this Agreement, other than an activity approved in writing by the Board of the Employer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive may engage in service for civic, charitable or religious purposes or services in connection with any trade association (together “Community Activities”) during business hours without the need for notice to the Board of the Employer; provided that such service does not involve a material time commitment. The Executive shall disclose any such Community Activities if so requested by the Board of the Employer and shall cease any such Community Activities as soon as is practicable if directed in writing by the Board, provided that the Board determines in good faith that continuation of such Community Activity is contrary to the legitimate business interests of the Employer. |
| (d) | With the prior written approval of the Board of the Employer, the Executive may serve on boards of both for-profit and not-for-profit entities or engage in Community Activities that involve a material time commitment. |
| 3. | Compensation and Benefits. |
| (a) | Base Compensation. As compensation for the services to be performed by the Executive during his employment hereunder, the Bank shall pay to the Executive, in regular periodic installments, a base salary per year equal to Executive’s annual base salary in effect as of the date hereof, which salary may be increased, but not decreased, in the sole discretion of the Board of the Employer from time to time (the “Base Salary”). |
| (b) | Short-Term and Long-Term Incentive Compensation. (A) In addition to the foregoing Base Salary, for each fiscal year during his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a cash bonus as may be determined by the Board of the Employer or pursuant to any short-term incentive compensation plan for senior executives of the Employer that may be adopted in the future by the Board in its discretion. Cash bonuses shall be paid as directed by the Board of the Employer. (B) The Executive shall also be eligible during his employment hereunder to participate in any long-term and/or equity-based incentive compensation plan or program that may be adopted by the Board for senior executives of the Employer, in accordance with the terms of such plans or programs, as may be amended from time to time by the Board in its discretion. |
| (c) | Employee Benefits. During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other retirement, welfare, and employee benefit programs and arrangements of the Employer as may be in effect from time to time to the extent the Executive is eligible for participation under the terms of such plans, programs, and arrangements. |
2
| (d) | Perquisites; Vacation. During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive perquisites available to senior executives of the Employer in accordance with the Employer’s policies as in effect from time to time, such perquisites to include reimbursement for monthly membership dues at a local country club and a downtown lunch club and business expenses as contemplated by Section 4 below that are incurred at such clubs, and monthly automobile and cellular telephone allowances as determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to vacation and paid time off during each calendar year as determined by the Board of Directors. |
| 4. | Business Expenses. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Employer’s reimbursement policies, subject to such reasonable requirements with respect to substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Employer or its auditors. Reimbursements of expenses and in-kind benefits subject to this Section 4 or Section 3(d) or otherwise provided to the Executive shall be subject to the following rules: (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except as otherwise allowed by Section 409A of the Code; (ii) any reimbursement shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were incurred; and (iii) no right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits may be liquidated or exchanged for another benefit. |
| 5. | Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances: |
| (a) | Death. In the event of the Executive’s death during his employment under this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of his death. |
| (b) | Disability. In the event that the Executive becomes Disabled during his employment under this Agreement, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” means any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months and that renders the Executive unable to engage in the duties and responsibilities described herein. If any question arises as to whether the Executive is Disabled, upon reasonable request therefor by the Board of the Employer, the Executive shall submit to reasonable examination by a physician for the purpose of determining the existence, nature and extent of any such Disability. The Board of the Employer shall promptly provide the Executive with written notice of the results of any such determination of Disability and of any decision of the Board of the Employer that this Agreement shall terminate by reason thereof. |
3
Any termination of the Term under this Section 5(b) shall be effected without any adverse effect on the Executive’s rights to receive benefits under any disability policy of the Employer, but shall not be treated as a termination without Cause.
| (c) | Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1, the Executive may resign from the Employer at any time prior to the expiration of the Term. If Executive resigns without Good Reason, there shall be no additional Base Salary, bonus or benefits payable to Executive after the date of termination. |
| (d) | Termination by the Employer Without Cause. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Employer without Cause upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Executive. Compensation and benefits will be provided as set forth in Section 6 or Section 7, as applicable. |
| (e) | Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: |
| (i) | material adverse change by the Employer, not consented to by the Executive, in Executive’s responsibilities, titles, powers, or duties at the Employer; |
| (ii) | failure by the Employer to appoint the Executive as a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank, or to nominate the Executive to stand for election to the Board of Directors of the Company; |
| (iii) | a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary, as the same may be increased from time to time; |
| (iv) | the involuntary relocation of the office at which the Executive is principally employed to a location more than twenty-five (25) miles of driving distance from Executive’s principal office of employment as of the date this Agreement is entered; or |
| (v) | material breach by the Employer of this Agreement, which breach continues for more than ten (10) days following written notice given by the Executive to the Employer, such written notice to set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such breach. |
4
“Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Employer in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within thirty (30) days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Employer’s efforts, for a period not less than thirty (30) days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within ten (10) days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Employer cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may elect to waive the Cure Period, in which case, the Executive’s termination may occur within such thirty (30) day Cure Period.
| (f) | Termination by the Employer for Cause. At any time during the Term, the Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause if at a meeting of the Board of the Employer called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for a proposal to terminate the Executive’s employment for “Cause”) a majority of the Board determines in good faith that the Executive is guilty of conduct that constitutes “Cause” as defined herein. Only the following shall constitute Cause for such termination: |
| (i) | Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; |
| (ii) | Executive’s willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order from bank regulatory agencies; |
| (iii) | Executive’s intentional failure to perform the duties assigned to him by the Board of the Employer; or |
| (iv) | Executive’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement. |
| (g) | Resignation from Board of the Employer. Upon Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, the Executive shall submit to the Employer in writing his resignation as a member of Board of Directors of each of the Bank and the Company. |
| 6. | Compensation upon Termination. |
| (a) | Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer or the Executive for any reason, the Employer shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) (i) on or before the time required by law but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Executive’s date of termination, the sum of (A) any Base Salary earned through the date of termination, (B) unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 4 of this Agreement), (C) any vacation pay to which the Executive is entitled on or before the time required by law but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Executive’s date of termination, and (D) any earned but unpaid incentive compensation for the year immediately preceding the year of termination; and (ii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Employer through the date of termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). In addition, nothing herein shall affect the Executive’s rights after termination of employment under COBRA (if any). |
5
| (b) | Termination by the Employer Without Cause or by the Executive For Good Reason. During the Term, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause as provided in Section 5(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 5(e), the Employer shall pay to the Executive his Accrued Benefits and the benefit described in Section 6(a)(ii). In addition, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6(b), the Employer shall pay to Executive an amount equal to the Base Salary he would have been entitled to receive had he continued employment for the remainder of the then in effect Term (“Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Bank’s payroll practice over the remainder of the Term commencing within sixty (60) days after the date of termination, subject to the receipt of the signed Release Agreement (described below) within such sixty (60) day period; and further subject to the delay specified in Section 8(a) hereof in the event Executive is a specified employee (as defined therein); provided, however, that if the sixty (60) day period begins in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment of the Severance Amount shall commence in the second calendar year. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment payment shall be considered a separate payment. |
The provision of the Severance Amount shall be conditioned on the Executive signing a Release Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A (“Release Agreement”) within the time period set forth therein and not revoking the Release Agreement within the seven (7) day revocation period set forth in the Release Agreement; provided that the Employer tenders the Release Agreement to the Executive no later than seven (7) days after the date of termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release Agreement may be modified to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law from and after the date of this Agreement.
| 7. | Change in Control. |
| (a) | The provisions of this Section 7 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the Executive and the Employer regarding the Executive’s rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Employer. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executive’s continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. These provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 6(b) regarding severance pay upon a termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs within twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of the first event constituting a Change in Control. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a Change in Control. |
6
| (b) | Termination following a Change in Control. |
| (i) | During the Term, if within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause as provided in Section 5(d) or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 5(e), the Employer shall pay the Executive his Accrued Benefits. In addition, the Employer shall pay to the Executive a severance payment in an amount equal to 2.99 times the sum of (A) the Executive’s current Base Salary, plus (B) the average annual bonus earned by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b)(A) with respect to the applicable Employer’s three (3) most recent fiscal years ending before or simultaneously with the Change in Control. The severance payment shall be paid out in a lump sum within sixty (60) days of termination of employment, subject to the receipt of the signed Release Agreement (described in Section 7(c) below); and further subject to the delay specified in Section 8(a) hereof in the event Executive is a specified employee (as defined therein); provided, however, that if the sixty (60) day period begins in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment of the severance amount shall be made in the second calendar year. |
| (ii) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (A) a Change in Control occurs, (B) the Executive’s employment with Company is terminated by Company without Cause or if Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, in either case within three (3) months prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and (C) it is reasonably demonstrated by Executive that such termination of employment or event constituting Good Reason was (x) at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (y) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement such Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred during the Term and the termination date shall be deemed to have occurred after the Change in Control, so that Executive is entitled to the severance amount provided by this Section 7(b), reduced by any amounts already paid to the Executive under Section 6(b). Any additional amounts due Executive as a result of the application of this paragraph to a termination prior to a Change in Control shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days of Executive becoming entitled to such payment, subject to the receipt of the signed Release Agreement (described in Section 7(c) below) within such sixty (60) day period; and further subject to the delay specified in Section 8(a) hereof in the event Executive is a specified employee (as defined therein); provided, however, that if the sixty (60) day period begins in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment of the severance amount shall be made in the second calendar year. |
7
| (c) | Release Requirement. The provision of the severance amount provided under this Section 7 shall be conditioned on the Executive signing a Release Agreement within the time period set forth therein and not revoking the Release Agreement within the seven (7) day revocation period set forth in the Release Agreement; provided that the Employer tender the Release Agreement to the Executive no later than seven (7) days after the date of termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release Agreement may be modified to the extent necessary based on changes in applicable law from and after the date of this Agreement. |
| (d) | Payment Limitation. |
| (i) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions shall apply: |
| (A) | Executive shall be entitled to the greater of the amount to which he would be entitled by this Agreement (and other benefit plans and arrangements that provide a payment that is treated as a Contingent Payment under either item (i) or (ii) below: |
| (i) | The “net” after-tax benefit to which Executive would be entitled after taking into consideration any and all taxes that Executive would owe on such Contingent Payments, including any Federal, state and local income and employment taxes, as well as any excise tax, penalties or interest; and |
| (ii) | The “net” after-tax benefit to which Executive would be entitled after reducing the Contingent Payments so that such payments do not exceed the Threshold Amount, after taking into consideration any all taxes that Executive would owe on such reduced Contingent Payments, including any Federal, state and local income and employment taxes. |
| (iii) | For the purposes of this Section 7, “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Executive with respect to such Excise Tax. The term “Contingent Payment” shall mean a payment in the nature of compensation that is contingent on a change in (i) the ownership or effective control of the Employer or (ii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer, however, a Contingent Payment shall not include any payment under a qualified plan listed in Code Section 280G(b)(6). |

| (iv) | The determination as to which of the alternative provisions of Section 7(d)(i)(A) shall apply to the Executive shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Employer (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Employer and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the date of termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Employer or the Executive. For purposes of determining which of the alternative provisions of Section 7(d)(i)(A) shall apply, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the date of termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Employer and the Executive. |
| (e) | Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean the consummation by the Employer, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of any of the following: |
| (i) | the sale of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or the Bank to any person, group or entity; |
| (ii) | the merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company or the Bank with another entity, in which the Company or the Bank, as applicable, is not the survivor of such merger, consolidation or other business combination or a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the entity surviving or resulting from such merger, consolidation or other business combination is not composed of individuals who were serving on the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, as the case may be, immediately prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other business combination; or |
9
| (iii) | a change in control of the Company or the Bank within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). |
| 8. | Section 409A. |
| (a) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Employer determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the twenty percent (20%) additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six (6) months and one (1) day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six (6) month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule. Any such delayed cash payment shall earn interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the date of separation from service occurs, from such date of separation from service until the payment. |
| (b) | To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(h). |
| (c) | The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. No action or failure by the Employer in good faith to act, pursuant to this Section 8(c), shall subject the Employer to any claim, liability, or expense, and the Employer shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. |
10
| 9. | Non-Solicitation and Confidential Information. |
| (a) | Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the Employer’s agreement to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive’s eligibility to receive and/or receipt of future short-term and long-term incentive compensation from the Employer, the Executive agrees that, during the term of his employment under this Agreement and the eighteen (18) months following the date of termination of his employment hereunder, he shall not, directly or indirectly (i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Employer, assist in such hiring by any other person, or encourage any such employee to terminate his or her relationship with the Employer, or (ii) solicit any customer of the Employer or its subsidiaries for the purpose of providing to the customer services or products of any kind that are offered or provided by the Bank, divert or attempt to divert any business from the Employer or its subsidiaries or induce, attempt to induce, or assist others in inducing or attempting to induce any agent, customer or supplier of the Employer or any other person or entity associated or doing business with the Employer (or proposing to become associated or to do business with the Employer) to terminate such person’s or entity’s relationship with the Employer (or to refrain from becoming associated with or doing business with the Employer) or in any other manner to interfere with the relationship between the Employer and any such person or entity. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(a) and the following Section 9(b) are intended to protect the Employer’s interests in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and the Executive agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive’s involvement in general advertising or general personnel recruiting efforts that are not targeted at customers or employees of the Employer shall not be considered to violate this Section 9(a). For purposes of this provision, the term “customer” means any business, entity or person which is or was a customer of the Bank at any time during the period of Executive’s employment and with respect to which the Executive had contact or supervisory responsibility or about whom Executive had access to Confidential Information. |
| (b) | Confidential Information. Except in furtherance of Executive’s duties for the Bank, the Executive shall not at any time divulge, use, furnish, disclose or make accessible to anyone, other than to an employee or director of the Employer with a reasonable need to know, any Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall include information relating to the Employer’s business which has not been made generally available to the public or has been identified to the Executive as confidential, either orally or in writing, including, but not limited to: confidential or secret data, business relationships, business plans or strategies, marketing plans, contract provisions, actual or prospective customers, services, and procedures or techniques of the Employer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall prevent the disclosure by the Executive of any such information which at any time comes into the public domain other than as a result of the violation of the terms of this Section 9 by the Executive or which is otherwise lawfully acquired by the Executive or which the Executive is ordered by a governmental body of competent jurisdiction to disclose. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits his ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, or any other federal, state, or local government agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Employer (“Government Agencies”). The Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit his ability to communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Employer. This Agreement does not limit the Executive’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. |
11
| (c) | Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Employer or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Employer. The Executive will return to the Employer all such materials and property as and when requested by the Employer. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination, |
| (d) | Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Employer that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Employer and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Employer will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Employer, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Employer any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party. |
| (e) | Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment with the Employer, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Employer in the defense or prosecution of any claims or any actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Employer that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Employer at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Employer in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state or local regulatory authority as such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out -of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of his obligations pursuant to this Section 9(e). Unless the Executive is then employed or the Employer is paying the Severance Amount, the Employer shall pay the Executive for any services pursuant to this Section 9(e) at the hourly rate of Executive’s final annual Base Salary divided by 2,080; provided that no payment obligation shall apply to services that could be compelled pursuant to a subpoena. |
12
| (f) | Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Employer that might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 9, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches or proposes to breach, any portion of this Section 9, the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to seek an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damages to the Employer. |
| 10. | Withholding. All payments made by the Employer under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Employer under applicable law. |
| 11. | Indemnification. The Employer agrees to indemnify the Executive for all costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and shall provide for the advancement of expenses incurred or sustained in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party by reason of the Executive’s being or having been a director, officer or employee of any such entities or their affiliates, all to the maximum extent permitted under the applicable laws of the United States, and applicable banking rules and regulations adopted by the state of Illinois and the Federal Reserve, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The Executive shall be entitled to coverage under such directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained from time to time by the Employer for the benefit of its directors and officers. |
| 12. | Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage paid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Employer or, in the case of the Employer, at its main office, attention of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Directors. |
| 13. | Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and may not be changed except by a writing duly executed and delivered by the Employer and the Executive in the same manner as this Agreement. |
| 14. | Binding Effect, Non-assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer and its successors. Neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may be assigned or pledged by the Executive during his lifetime. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. |
13
| 15. | Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Employer. |
| 16. | Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
| 17. | Forfeiture of Payments. The Executive agrees that the receipt of severance compensation under Section 6(b) or Section 7 is conditioned upon the Executive’s compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 9. The foregoing shall be in addition to any other remedies or rights the Employer may have at law or in equity as a result of the Executive’s failure to observe such provisions. |
| 18. | Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws, and in accordance with and subject to any applicable federal laws to which the Employer may be subject. In addition to the foregoing: |
| (a) | In no event shall the Employer be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement that is prohibited by Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (codified at 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k)), 12 C.F.R. Part 359, or any other applicable law. |
| (b) | In no event shall the Employer be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement if: |
| (i) | the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) (12 U.S.C. § 1813(x)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended; provided any vested rights of the parties shall not be affected hereby; or |
| (ii) | the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) (12 U.S.C. § 1823(c)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended. |
| (c) | The Employer may terminate Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason, but any termination by the Board of the Employer, other than termination for Cause, shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. |
14
| (d) | If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(3)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Employer may in its discretion (i) pay the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended. |
| (e) | If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. |
| 19. | Dispute Resolution. |
| (a) | If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, and if such dispute is not settled within a commercially reasonably time (not to exceed sixty (60) days, through negotiations), the parties shall attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation under the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect (the “Rules”). No resolution or attempted resolution of any dispute or disagreement pursuant to this Section 19 shall be deemed to be a waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or a consent to any breach or default, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented. |
| (b) | Any dispute or controversy not settled in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 19 shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration, as an alternative to civil litigation and without any trial by jury to resolve such claims, to be conducted before three arbitrators in Cook County, Illinois in accordance with the Rules. Each party shall select one such arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall choose a third. |
| (c) | The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in such mediation and/or arbitration in good faith. In an arbitration, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. |
| (d) | Any payment required under this Section 19 shall be made after the final resolution referenced herein, but not later than the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which such resolution is achieved, and (ii) two and one-half months after the date on which such final resolution is achieved. |
15
| (e) | The prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding or any other legal proceeding between the Executive and the Employer, shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses that such prevailing party incurs in connection with any such proceeding, as determined by the arbitration panel. Absent the determination of a prevailing party, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. |
| 20. | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. |
| 21. | Successors to the Employer. The Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Employer expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Employer would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Employer to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement. |
| 22. | No Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. No payment provided for in this Agreement shall be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, or the Executive’s receipt of income from any other sources, after termination of his employment with the Employer. |
| 23. | Survival. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 6 through 11, and Sections 16 through 19 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. |

THOMAS MANFRE
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____ day of __________, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), by and among Hoyne Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and sole shareholder of the Bank (the “Company”), Hoyne Savings Bank, an Illinois chartered stock savings bank (“Bank”) (the Company and the Bank are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Employer”), and Thomas Manfre (“Executive”), and shall become effective and binding as of the date set forth above.
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Bank; and
WHEREAS, each of the Company and the Bank desires to continue to employ the Executive in such executive capacity in the conduct of its business, and the Executive desires to be so employed on the terms contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereto agree as follows:
| 1. | Employment and Employment Period. The Employer hereby employs the Executive and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Employer, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for a period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Time, subject to earlier termination or extension as provided herein (the “Term”). On the first anniversary date of the Effective Time, and on each succeeding anniversary date (each, an “Anniversary Date”), the Term shall extend automatically for one (1) additional year beyond the initial Term or the extended Term, as the case may be, so that the Term shall continue to be three (3) years from the date of such extension, unless either the Employer or the Executive by written notice to the other given at least ninety (90) days prior to such Anniversary Date notifies the other of its intent not to extend the same. In the event that notice not to extend is given by either the Employer or the Executive, this Agreement shall terminate as of the last day of the initial Term or such extended Term. Reference herein to the Term of this Agreement shall refer to both such initial Term and any extended Terms. |
| 2. | Capacity and Extent of Service. |
| (a) | During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall serve as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Bank. |
| (b) | The Executive shall be employed on a full-time basis as provided above and shall be assigned only such duties and tasks as are commensurate with those customarily held by a person in such positions. It is the intention of the Employer that the Executive shall be subject to the direction and supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer. |
| (c) | During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall devote his full business time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 2(d), the Executive shall not engage in any other business activity during the Term of this Agreement, other than an activity approved in writing by the Board of the Employer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive may engage in service for civic, charitable or religious purposes or services in connection with any trade association (together “Community Activities”) during business hours without the need for notice to the Board of the Employer; provided that such service does not involve a material time commitment. The Executive shall disclose any such Community Activities if so requested by the Board of the Employer and shall cease any such Community Activities as soon as is practicable if directed in writing by the Board, provided that the Board determines in good faith that continuation of such Community Activity is contrary to the legitimate business interests of the Employer. |
| (d) | With the prior written approval of the Board of the Employer, the Executive may serve on boards of both for-profit and not-for-profit entities or engage in Community Activities that involve a material time commitment. |
| 3. | Compensation and Benefits. |
| (a) | Base Compensation. As compensation for the services to be performed by the Executive during his employment hereunder, the Bank shall pay to the Executive, in regular periodic installments, a base salary per year equal to Executive’s annual base salary in effect as of the date hereof, which salary may be increased, but not decreased, in the sole discretion of the Board of the Employer from time to time (the “Base Salary”). |
| (b) | Short-Term and Long-Term Incentive Compensation. (A) In addition to the foregoing Base Salary, for each fiscal year during his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a cash bonus as may be determined by the Board of the Employer or pursuant to any short-term incentive compensation plan for senior executives of the Employer that may be adopted in the future by the Board in its discretion. Cash bonuses shall be paid as directed by the Board of the Employer. (B) The Executive shall also be eligible during his employment hereunder to participate in any long-term and/or equity-based incentive compensation plan or program that may be adopted by the Board for senior executives of the Employer, in accordance with the terms of such plans or programs, as may be amended from time to time by the Board in its discretion. |
| (c) | Employee Benefits. During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other retirement, welfare, and employee benefit programs and arrangements of the Employer as may be in effect from time to time to the extent the Executive is eligible for participation under the terms of such plans, programs, and arrangements. |
2
| (d) | Perquisites; Vacation. During his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive perquisites available to senior executives of the Employer in accordance with the Employer’s policies as in effect from time to time, such perquisites to include, monthly cellular telephone allowance, vacation and paid time off during each calendar year as determined by the Board of Directors. |
| 4. | Business Expenses. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Employer’s reimbursement policies, subject to such reasonable requirements with respect to substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Employer or its auditors. Reimbursements of expenses and in-kind benefits subject to this Section 4 or Section 3(d) or otherwise provided to the Executive shall be subject to the following rules: (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except as otherwise allowed by Section 409A of the Code; (ii) any reimbursement shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were incurred; and (iii) no right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits may be liquidated or exchanged for another benefit. |
| 5. | Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances: |
| (a) | Death. In the event of the Executive’s death during his employment under this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of his death. |
| (b) | Disability. In the event that the Executive becomes Disabled during his employment under this Agreement, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” means any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months and that renders the Executive unable to engage in the duties and responsibilities described herein. If any question arises as to whether the Executive is Disabled, upon reasonable request therefor by the Board of the Employer, the Executive shall submit to reasonable examination by a physician for the purpose of determining the existence, nature and extent of any such Disability. The Board of the Employer shall promptly provide the Executive written notice of the results of any such determination of Disability and of any decision of the Board of the Employer that this Agreement shall terminate by reason thereof. Any termination of the Term under this Section 5(b) shall be effected without any adverse effect on the Executive’s rights to receive benefits under any disability policy of the Employer, but shall not be treated as a termination without Cause. |
3
| (c) | Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1, the Executive may resign from the Employer at any time prior to the expiration of the Term. If Executive resigns without Good Reason, there shall be no additional Base Salary, bonus or benefits payable to Executive after the date of termination. |
| (d) | Termination by the Employer Without Cause. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Employer without Cause upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Executive. Compensation and benefits will be provided as set forth in Section 6 or Section 7, as applicable. |
| (e) | Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: |
| (i) | material adverse change by the Employer, not consented to by the Executive, in Executive’s responsibilities, titles, powers, or duties at the Employer; |
| (ii) | a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary, as the same may be increased from time to time; |
| (iii) | the involuntary relocation of the office at which the Executive is principally employed to a location more than twenty-five (25) miles of driving distance from Executive’s principal office of employment as of the date this Agreement is entered; or |
| (iv) | material breach by the Employer of this Agreement, which breach continues for more than ten (10) days following written notice given by the Executive to the Employer, such written notice to set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such breach. |
“Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Employer in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within thirty (30) days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Employer’s efforts, for a period not less than thirty (30) days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within ten (10) days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Employer cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may elect to waive the Cure Period, in which case, the Executive’s termination may occur within such thirty (30) day Cure Period.
4
| (f) | Termination by the Employer for Cause. At any time during the Term, the Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause if at a meeting of the Board of the Employer called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for a proposal to terminate the Executive’s employment for “Cause”) a majority of the Board determines in good faith that the Executive is guilty of conduct that constitutes “Cause” as defined herein. Only the following shall constitute Cause for such termination: |
| (i) | Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; |
| (ii) | Executive’s willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order from bank regulatory agencies; |
| (iii) | Executive’s intentional failure to perform the duties assigned to him by the Board of the Employer; or |
| (iv) | Executive’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement. |
| 6. | Compensation upon Termination. |
| (a) | Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer or the Executive for any reason, the Employer shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) (i) on or before the time required by law but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Executive’s date of termination, the sum of (A) any Base Salary earned through the date of termination, (B) unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 4 of this Agreement), (C) any vacation pay to which the Executive is entitled on or before the time required by law but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Executive’s date of termination, and (D) any earned but unpaid incentive compensation for the year immediately preceding the year of termination; and (ii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Employer through the date of termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). In addition, nothing herein shall affect the Executive’s rights after termination of employment under COBRA (if any). |
| (b) | Termination by the Employer Without Cause or by the Executive For Good Reason. During the Term, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause as provided in Section 5(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 5(e), the Employer shall pay to the Executive his Accrued Benefits and the benefit described in Section 6(a)(ii). In addition, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6(b), the Employer shall pay to Executive an amount equal to the Base Salary he would have been entitled to receive had he continued employment for the remainder of the then in effect Term (“Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Bank’s payroll practice over the remainder of the Term commencing within sixty (60) days after the date of termination, subject to the receipt of the signed Release Agreement (described below) within such sixty (60) day period; and further subject to the delay specified in Section 8(a) hereof in the event Executive is a specified employee (as defined therein); provided, however, that if the sixty (60) day period begins in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment of the Severance Amount shall commence in the second calendar year. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment payment shall be considered a separate payment. |
5
The provision of the Severance Amount shall be conditioned on the Executive signing a Release Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A (“ Release Agreement”) within the time period set forth therein and not revoking the Release Agreement within the seven (7) day revocation period set forth in the Release Agreement; provided that the Employer tenders the Release Agreement to the Executive no later than seven (7) days after the date of termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release Agreement may be modified to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law from and after the date of this Agreement.
| 7. | Change in Control. |
| (a) | The provisions of this Section 7 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the Executive and the Employer regarding the Executive’s rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Employer. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executive’s continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. These provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 6(b) regarding severance pay upon a termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs within twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of the first event constituting a Change in Control. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a Change in Control. |
| (b) | Termination following a Change in Control. |
| (i) | During the Term, if within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause as provided in Section 5(d) or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 5(e), the Employer shall pay the Executive his Accrued Benefits. In addition, the Employer shall pay to the Executive a severance payment in an amount equal to 2.5 times the sum of (A) the Executive’s current Base Salary, plus (B) the average annual bonus earned by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b)(A) with respect to the applicable Employer’s three (3) most recent fiscal years ending before or simultaneously with the Change in Control. The severance payment shall be paid out in a lump sum within sixty (60) days of termination of employment, subject to the receipt of the signed Release Agreement (described in Section 7(c) below); and further subject to the delay specified in Section 8(a) hereof in the event Executive is a specified employee (as defined therein); provided, however, that if the sixty (60) day period begins in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment of the severance amount shall be made in the second calendar year. |
6
| (ii) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (A) a Change in Control occurs, (B) the Executive’s employment with Company is terminated by Company without Cause or if Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, in either case within three (3) months prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and (C) it is reasonably demonstrated by Executive that such termination of employment or event constituting Good Reason was (x) at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (y) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement such Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred during the Term and the termination date shall be deemed to have occurred after the Change in Control, so that Executive is entitled to the severance amount provided by this Section 7(b), reduced by any amounts already paid to the Executive under Section 6(b). Any additional amounts due Executive as a result of the application of this paragraph to a termination prior to a Change in Control shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days of Executive becoming entitled to such payment, subject to the receipt of the signed Release Agreement (described in Section 7(c) below) within such sixty (60) day period; and further subject to the delay specified in Section 8(a) hereof in the event Executive is a specified employee (as defined therein); provided, however, that if the sixty (60) day period begins in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment of the severance amount shall be made in the second calendar year. |
| (c) | Release Requirement. The provision of the severance amount provided under this Section 7 shall be conditioned on the Executive signing a Release Agreement in the form of Exhibit A within the time period set forth therein and not revoking the Release Agreement within the seven (7) day revocation period set forth in the Release Agreement; provided that the Employer tender the Release Agreement to the Executive no later than seven (7) days after the date of termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release Agreement may be modified to the extent necessary based on changes in applicable law from and after the date of this Agreement. |
7
| (d) | Payment Limitation. |
| (i) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions shall apply: |
| (A) | Executive shall be entitled to the greater of the amount to which he would be entitled by this Agreement (and other benefit plans and arrangements that provide a payment that is treated as a Contingent Payment under either item (i) or (ii) below: |
| (i) | The “net” after-tax benefit to which Executive would be entitled after taking into consideration any and all taxes that Executive would owe on such Contingent Payments, including any Federal, state and local income and employment taxes, as well as any excise tax, penalties or interest; and |
| (ii) | The “net” after-tax benefit to which Executive would be entitled after reducing the Contingent Payments so that such payments do not exceed the Threshold Amount, after taking into consideration any all taxes that Executive would owe on such reduced Contingent Payments, including any Federal, state and local income and employment taxes. |
| (iii) | For the purposes of this Section 7, “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Executive with respect to such Excise Tax. The term “Contingent Payment” shall mean a payment in the nature of compensation that is contingent on a change in |
(i) the ownership or effective control of the Employer or (ii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer, however, a Contingent Payment shall not include any payment under a qualified plan listed in Code Section 280G(b)(6).
| (iv) | The determination as to which of the alternative provisions of Section 7(d)(i)(A) shall apply to the Executive shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Employer (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Employer and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the date of termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Employer or the Executive. For purposes of determining which of the alternative provisions of Section 7(d)(i)(A) shall apply, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the date of termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Employer and the Executive. |
8
| (e) | Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean the consummation by the Employer, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of any of the following: |
| (i) | the sale of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or the Bank to any person, group or entity; |
| (ii) | the merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company or the Bank with another entity, in which the Company or the Bank, as applicable, is not the survivor of such merger, consolidation or other business combination or a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the entity surviving or resulting from such merger, consolidation or other business combination is not composed of individuals who were serving on the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, as the case may be, immediately prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other business combination; or |
| (iii) | a change in control of the Company or the Bank within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). |
| 8. | Section 409A. |
| (a) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Employer determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the twenty percent (20%) additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six (6) months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six (6) month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule. Any such delayed cash payment shall earn interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the date of separation from service occurs, from such date of separation from service until the payment. |
9
| (b) | To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(h). |
| (c) | The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. No action or failure by the Employer in good faith to act, pursuant to this Section 8(c), shall subject the Employer to any claim, liability, or expense, and the Employer shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. |
| 9. | Non-Solicitation and Confidential Information. |
| (a) | Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the Employer’s agreement to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive’s eligibility to receive and/or receipt of future short-term and long-term incentive compensation from the Employer, the Executive agrees that, during the term of his employment under this Agreement and the eighteen (18) months following the date of termination of his employment hereunder, he shall not, directly or indirectly (i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Employer, assist in such hiring by any other person, or encourage any such employee to terminate his or her relationship with the Employer, or (ii) solicit any customer of the Employer or its subsidiaries for the purpose of providing to the customer services or products of any kind that are offered or provided by the Bank, divert or attempt to divert any business from the Employer or its subsidiaries, or induce, attempt to induce, or assist others in inducing or attempting to induce any agent, customer or supplier of the Employer or any other person or entity associated or doing business with the Employer (or proposing to become associated or to do business with the Employer) to terminate such person’s or entity’s relationship with the Employer (or to refrain from becoming associated with or doing business with the Employer) or in any other manner to interfere with the relationship between the Employer and any such person or entity. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(a) and the following Section 9(b) are intended to protect the Employer’s interests in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and the Executive agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive’s involvement in general advertising or general personnel recruiting efforts that are not targeted at customers or employees of the Employer shall not be considered to violate this Section 9(a). For purposes of this provision, the term “customer” means any business, entity or person which is or was a customer of the Bank at any time during the period of Executive’s employment and with respect to which the Executive had contact or supervisory responsibility or about whom Executive had access to Confidential Information. |
10
| (b) | Confidential Information. Except in furtherance of Executive’s duties for the Bank, the Executive shall not at any time divulge, use, furnish, disclose or make accessible to anyone, other than to an employee or director of the Employer with a reasonable need to know, any Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall include information relating to the Employer’s business which has not been made generally available to the public or has been identified to the Executive as confidential, either orally or in writing, including, but not limited to: confidential or secret data, business relationships, business plans or strategies, marketing plans, contract provisions, actual or prospective customers, services, and procedures or techniques of the Employer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall prevent the disclosure by the Executive of any such information which at any time comes into the public domain other than as a result of the violation of the terms of this Section 9 by the Executive or which is otherwise lawfully acquired by the Executive or which the Executive is ordered by a governmental body of competent jurisdiction to disclose. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits his ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, or any other federal, state, or local government agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Employer (“Government Agencies”). The Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit his ability to communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Employer. This Agreement does not limit the Executive’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. |
11
| (c) | Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Employer or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Employer. The Executive will return to the Employer all such materials and property as and when requested by the Employer. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination, |
| (d) | Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Employer that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Employer and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Employer will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Employer, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Employer any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party. |
| (e) | Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment with the Employer, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Employer in the defense or prosecution of any claims or any actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Employer that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Employer at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Employer in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state or local regulatory authority as such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of his obligations pursuant to this Section 9(e). Unless the Executive is then employed or the Employer is paying the Severance Amount, the Employer shall pay the Executive for any services pursuant to this Section 9(e) at the hourly rate of Executive’s final annual Base Salary divided by 2,080; provided that no payment obligation shall apply to services that could be compelled pursuant to a subpoena. |
12
| (f) | Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Employer that might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 9, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches or proposes to breach, any portion of this Section 9, the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to seek an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damages to the Employer. |
| 10. | Withholding. All payments made by the Employer under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Employer under applicable law. |
| 11. | Indemnification. The Employer agrees to indemnify the Executive for all costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and shall provide for the advancement of expenses incurred or sustained in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party by reason of the Executive’s being or having been a director, officer or employee of any such entities or their affiliates, all to the maximum extent permitted under the applicable laws of the United States, and applicable banking rules and regulations adopted by the state of Illinois and the Federal Reserve, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The Executive shall be entitled to coverage under such directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained from time to time by the Employer for the benefit of its directors and officers. |
| 12. | Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage paid or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Employer or, in the case of the Employer, at its main office, attention of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Directors. |
| 13. | Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and may not be changed except by a writing duly executed and delivered by the Employer and the Executive in the same manner as this Agreement. |
| 14. | Binding Effect, Non-assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer and its successors. Neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may be assigned or pledged by the Executive during his lifetime. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. |
| 15. | Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Employer. |
| 16. | Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
13
| 17. | Forfeiture of Payments. The Executive agrees that the receipt of severance compensation under Section 6(b) or Section 7 is conditioned upon the Executive’s compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 9. The foregoing shall be in addition to any other remedies or rights the Employer may have at law or in equity as a result of the Executive’s failure to observe such provisions. |
| 18. | Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws, and in accordance with and subject to any applicable federal laws to which the Employer may be subject. In addition to the foregoing: |
| (a) | In no event shall the Employer be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement that is prohibited by Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (codified at 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k)), 12 C.F.R. Part 359, or any other applicable law. |
| (b) | In no event shall the Employer be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement if: |
| (i) | the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) (12 U.S.C. § 1813(x)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended; provided any vested rights of the parties shall not be affected hereby; or |
| (ii) | the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) (12 U.S.C. § 1823(c)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended. |
| (c) | The Employer may terminate Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason, but any termination by the Board of the Employer, other than termination for Cause, shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. |
| (d) | If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(3)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Employer may in its discretion (i) pay the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended. |
14
| (e) | If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. |
| 19. | Dispute Resolution. |
| (a) | If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, and if such dispute is not settled within a commercially reasonably time (not to exceed sixty (60) days, through negotiations), the parties shall attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation under the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect (the “Rules”). No resolution or attempted resolution of any dispute or disagreement pursuant to this Section 19 shall be deemed to be a waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or a consent to any breach or default, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented. |
| (b) | Any dispute or controversy not settled in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 19 shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration, as an alternative to civil litigation and without any trial by jury to resolve such claims, to be conducted before three arbitrators in Cook County, Illinois in accordance with the Rules. Each party shall select one such arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall choose a third. |
| (c) | The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in such mediation and/or arbitration in good faith. In an arbitration, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. |
| (d) | Any payment required under this Section 19 shall be made after the final resolution referenced herein, but not later than the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which such resolution is achieved, and (ii) two and one-half months after the date on which such final resolution is achieved. |
| (e) | The prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding or any other legal proceeding between the Executive and the Employer, shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses that such prevailing party incurs in connection with any such proceeding as determined by the arbitration panel. Absent the determination of a prevailing party, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. |
| 20. | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. |
15
| 21. | Successors to the Employer. The Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Employer expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Employer would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Employer to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement. |

Dear Mr. Healy:
This letter sets forth the agreement between Hoyne Savings Bank, Chicago, Illinois (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoyne Financial Corporation (the “Company”), which in turn is the subsidiary of Hoyne Savings, MHC (the “MHC”), and RP® Financial, LC.

The scope, timing and fee structure for these appraisal services are described below.
These appraisal services will be directed by the undersigned, with the assistance of a Director and a consulting associate.
Description of Appraisal Services
RP Financial will provide conversion appraisal services consistent with the applicable conversion regulations, regulatory appraisal guidelines and standard valuation practices. In this regard, RP Financial will provide a written proforma valuation report of the Bank to be filed with the conversion application, interim appraisal updates as appropriate to the reflect changes in valuation prior to closing, and the required updated appraisal to set the closing value.
In conjunction with these appraisal services, RP Financial will conduct a financial due diligence, including interviews of senior management and reviews of historical and pro forma financial information, the business plan, and other documents. This review will provide RP Financial insight into the operations, financial condition, profitability, market area, risks and key internal and external factors impacting the Bank, all of which will be considered in estimating the pro forma market value. The appraisal report will include an analysis of the Bank’s financial condition and operating results, as well as an assessment of the interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks. The appraisal report will take into consideration the Bank’s business strategies, market area, prospects for the future and specified use of proceeds. A peer group analysis relative to certain relatively comparable publicly-traded banking companies will be conducted for the purpose of determining appropriate valuation adjustments for the Bank relative to the peer group’s pricing ratios.
We will review pertinent sections of the Bank’s prospectus and conduct discussions with representatives of the Bank to obtain necessary data and information for the appraisal report, including key deal elements such as dividend policy, use of proceeds, reinvestment rate, tax rate, offering expenses, and characteristics of stock plans.

The original appraisal report will establish a midpoint pro forma market value in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The appraisal report may be periodically updated throughout the conversion process, and there will be at least one updated appraisal that would be prepared at the time of the closing of the stock offering to determine the number of shares to be issued in accordance with the conversion regulations. In the event of a syndicated community offering, it will be necessary to file an update in conjunction with the close of the subscription offering and prior to the pricing phase in the syndicated community offering.
RP Financial agrees to deliver the original appraisal report and subsequent updates, in writing, to the Bank at the above address in conjunction with the filing of the regulatory conversion applications and amendments thereto. Subsequent updates will be filed promptly as certain events occur which would warrant the preparation and filing of such appraisal updates pursuant to regulatory guidelines. Further, RP Financial agrees to perform such other services as are necessary or required in connection with the regulatory review of the appraisal and respond to the regulatory comments, if any, regarding the original appraisal and subsequent updates.
In the event of a syndicated community offering phase, RP Financial will participate in the various all hands calls regarding the offering results, pricing discussions and timing.
RP Financial expects to formally present the appraisal report, including the appraisal methodology, peer group selection and assumptions, to the Board of Directors for review and consideration. If appropriate, RP Financial will present subsequent updates to the Board. It is understood that this appraisal may be presented either in person or telephonically.
Fee Structure and Payment Schedule
The Bank agrees to pay RP Financial fees for preparation and delivery of the original appraisal report and subsequent appraisal updates as shown in the detail below, plus reimbursable expenses. Payment of these fees shall be made according to the following schedule:
| · | $15,000 upon execution of this letter of agreement engaging RP Financial’s appraisal services; |
| · | $65,000 upon delivery of the completed original appraisal report; and |
| · | $10,000 upon delivery of each subsequent appraisal update report required in conjunction with the regulatory application and stock offering. It is anticipated that there will be at least one appraisal update report, specifically the update to be prepared in conjunction with the completion of the stock offering. |
The Bank will reimburse RP Financial for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in preparation of the original appraisal and subsequent updates. Such out-of-pocket expenses will likely include travel (if necessary), printing, shipping, reasonable counsel fees, computer and data services, and will not exceed $7,500 in the aggregate, without the Bank’s authorization to exceed this level.

Re: Plan of Conversion

Members of the Boards of Directors:
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings given such terms in the Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”) adopted by the Boards of Directors of Hoyne Savings, MHC (the “MHC”), Hoyne Financial Corporation (“Hoyne Financial”), and Hoyne Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Plan provides for the conversion of the MHC into the capital stock form of organization. Pursuant to the Plan, a new Delaware stock holding company named Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) will be organized and will sell shares of common stock in a public offering. When the conversion is completed, all of the capital stock of the Bank will be owned by the Company and all of the common stock of the Company will be owned by public stockholders.
We understand that in accordance with the Plan, subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock in the Company are to be issued to: (1) Eligible Account Holders; (2) Tax-Qualified Plans including the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”); (3) Supplemental Eligible Account Holders; and (4) Other Members. Based solely upon our observation that the subscription rights will be available to such parties without cost, will be legally non-transferable and of short duration, and will afford such parties the right only to purchase shares of common stock at the same price as will be paid by members of the general public in the community and syndicated community offerings but without undertaking any independent investigation of state or federal law or the position of the Internal Revenue Service with respect to this issue, we are of the belief that, as a factual matter:
| (1) | the subscription rights will have no ascertainable market value; and |
| (2) | the price at which the subscription rights are exercisable will not be more or less than the pro forma market value of the shares upon issuance. |
Changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the Company’s value alone. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that persons who subscribe to shares of common stock in the subscription offering will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at the same price paid in the subscription offering.

Members of the Boards of Directors:
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings given such terms in the Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”) adopted by the Boards of Directors of Hoyne Savings, MHC (the “MHC”), Hoyne Financial Corporation (the “Mid-Tier”) and Hoyne Savings Bank. The Plan provides for the conversion of the MHC into the full stock form of organization. Pursuant to the Plan, a new Delaware stock holding company named Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) will be organized and will sell shares of common stock in a public offering. When the conversion is completed, all of the capital stock of Hoyne Savings Bank will be owned by the Company and all of the common stock of the Company will be owned by public stockholders.
We understand that in accordance with the Plan, depositors will receive rights in a liquidation account maintained by the Company representing the amount of (i) the MHC’s ownership interest in the Mid-Tier’s total stockholders’ equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition used in the prospectus plus (ii) the value of the net assets of the MHC as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition of the MHC prior to the consummation of the conversion (excluding its ownership of the Mid-Tier). The Company shall continue to hold the liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain deposits in Hoyne Savings Bank. The liquidation account is designed to provide payments to depositors of their liquidation interests in the event of liquidation of Hoyne Savings Bank (or the Company and Hoyne Savings Bank).
In the unlikely event that either Hoyne Savings Bank (or the Company and Hoyne Savings Bank) were to liquidate after the conversion (including, a liquidation of Hoyne Savings Bank following a purchase and assumption transaction with a credit union acquiror), all claims of creditors, including those of depositors, would be paid first, followed by distribution to depositors as of March 31, 2024 and depositors as of the date of record for Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. Also, in a complete liquidation of both entities, or of Hoyne Savings Bank, when the Company has insufficient assets (other than the stock of Hoyne Savings Bank), or of Hoyne Savings Bank following a purchase and assumption transaction with a credit union acquiror, to fund the liquidation account distribution due to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Hoyne Savings Bank has positive net worth, Hoyne Savings Bank shall immediately make a distribution to fund the Company’s remaining obligations under the liquidation account. The Plan further provides that if the Company is completely liquidated or sold apart from a sale or liquidation of Hoyne Savings Bank, then the rights of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders in the liquidation account maintained by the Company shall besurrendered and treated as a liquidation account in Hoyne Savings Bank, the bank liquidation account and depositors shall have an equivalent interest in such bank liquidation account, subject to the same rights and terms as the liquidation account.

Based upon our review of the Plan and our observations that the liquidation rights become payable only upon the unlikely event of the liquidation of Hoyne Savings Bank (or the Company and Hoyne Savings Bank), that liquidation rights in the Company automatically transfer to Hoyne Savings Bank in the event the Company is completely liquidated or sold apart from a sale or liquidation of Hoyne Savings Bank, and that after two years from the date of conversion and upon written request of the Federal Reserve Board, the Company will transfer the liquidation account and depositors’ interest in such account to Hoyne Savings Bank and the liquidation account shall thereupon become the liquidation account of Hoyne Savings Bank no longer subject to the Company’s creditors, we are of the belief that: the benefit provided by the Hoyne Savings Bank liquidation account supporting the payment of the liquidation account in the event the Company lacks sufficient net assets or following a purchase and assumption transaction with a credit union acquiror does not have any economic value at the time of the transactions contemplated in the first and second paragraphs above. We note that we have not undertaken any independent investigation of state or federal law or the position of the Internal Revenue Service with respect to this issue.

Members of the Boards of Directors:
At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent appraisal ("Appraisal") of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion transaction described below.
This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations and has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” (the “Valuation Guidelines”) of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and accepted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (the “Department”), and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.
Description of Plan of Conversion
On May 16, 2025, the Boards of Directors of Hoyne Savings, MHC, (the “MHC”), Hoyne Financial Corporation (“Hoyne Financial”) and Hoyne Savings Bank (the “Bank”) adopted a plan of conversion whereby the MHC will convert to stock form. As a result of the conversion, Hoyne Financial, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the MHC and currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank, will be succeeded by a new Delaware corporation with the name of Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (“Hoyne Bancorp” or the “Company”). Following the conversion, the MHC and Hoyne Financial will cease to exist and the Bank will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoyne Bancorp. For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter also be referred to as Hoyne Bancorp or the Company, unless otherwise identified as Hoyne Financial.
Hoyne Bancorp will offer its common stock in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Benefit Plans including Hoyne Savings Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members, as such terms are defined in the Company’s prospectus for purposes of applicable federal regulatory guidelines governing mutual-to-stock conversions. To the extent shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offering for sale to members of the general public in a community and syndicated community offerings. A portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of the common stock will be used to purchase all of the then to be issued and outstanding capital stock of Hoyne Savings Bank and the balance of the net proceeds will be retained by the Company.

At this time, no other activities are contemplated for the Company other than the ownership of the Bank, a loan to the newly-formed ESOP and reinvestment of the proceeds that are retained by the Company. In the future, Hoyne Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, diversify into other banking-related activities, pay dividends or repurchase its stock, although there are no specific plans to undertake such activities at the present time.
The plan of conversion provides for the establishment of a new charitable foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation contribution will be funded with Hoyne Bancorp common stock in an amount equal to 2.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock sold in the offering (including shares contributed to the Foundation) and $250,000 in cash. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which Hoyne Savings Bank operates and to enable those communities to share in the Bank’s long-term growth. The Foundation will be dedicated completely to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes.

We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for the Appraisal, we are independent of the Company, Hoyne Financial, the Bank, the MHC and the other parties engaged by the Bank or the Company to assist in the stock conversion process.
Valuation Methodology
In preparing our Appraisal, we have reviewed the regulatory applications of the Company, the Bank and the MHC, including the prospectus as filed with the FRB, the FDIC, the Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have conducted a financial analysis of the Company, the Bank and the MHC that has included a review of audited financial information for the years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2024, and a review of various unaudited information and internal financial reports through March 31, 2025, and due diligence related discussions with the Company’s management; Wipfli LLP, the Company’s independent auditor; Vedder Price P.C., the Company’s conversion counsel and Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., the Company’s marketing advisor in connection with the stock offering. All assumptions and conclusions set forth in the Appraisal were reached independently from such discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have considered information based on other available published sources that we believe are reliable. While we believe the information and data gathered from all these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

We have investigated the competitive environment within which Hoyne Bancorp operates and have assessed Hoyne Bancorp’s relative strengths and weaknesses. We have kept abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment for financial institutions and analyzed the potential impact on Hoyne Bancorp and the industry as a whole. We have analyzed the potential effects of the stock conversion on Hoyne Bancorp’s operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market value of Hoyne Bancorp. We have reviewed the economic and demographic characteristics of the Company’s primary market area. We have compared Hoyne Bancorp’s financial performance and condition with selected publicly-traded thrifts in accordance with the Valuation Guidelines, as well as all publicly-traded thrifts and thrift holding companies. We have reviewed the current conditions in the securities markets in general and the market for thrift stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues and initial public offerings by thrifts and thrift holding companies. We have excluded from such analyses thrifts subject to announced or rumored acquisition, and/or institutions that exhibit other unusual characteristics.
The Appraisal is based on Hoyne Bancorp’s representation that the information contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to us by Hoyne Bancorp and its independent auditor, legal counsel and other authorized agents are truthful, accurate and complete. We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by Hoyne Bancorp, or its independent auditor, legal counsel and other authorized agents nor did we independently value the assets or liabilities of Hoyne Bancorp. The valuation considers Hoyne Bancorp only as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of Hoyne Bancorp’s liquidation value.
Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current operating environment for Hoyne Bancorp and for all thrifts and their holding companies. Changes in the local, state and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment for financial institutions and mutual holding companies, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the value of Hoyne Bancorp’s stock alone. It is our understanding that there are no current plans for selling control of Hoyne Bancorp following completion of the conversion. To the extent that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis.
The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Hoyne Bancorp’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the stock offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
Valuation Conclusion
It is our opinion that, as of May 5, 2025, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued immediately following the conversion, including shares to be issued to the Foundation, equaled $ 61,224,490 at the midpoint, equal to 6,122,449 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to conversion guidelines, the 15% valuation range indicates a minimum value of $52,040,820 and a maximum value of $70,408,160. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price determined by the Board, this valuation range equates to total shares outstanding of 5,204,082 at the minimum and 7,040,816 at the maximum. In the event the appraised value is subject to an increase, the aggregate pro forma market value may be increased up to a super maximum value of $80,969,380 without a resolicitation. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the super maximum value would result in total shares outstanding of 8,096,938. Based on this valuation range, the offering range is as follows: $51,000,000 at the minimum, $60,000,000 at the midpoint, $69,000,000 at the maximum and $79,350,000 at the super maximum. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the number of offering shares is as follows: 5,100,000 at the minimum, 6,000,000 at the midpoint, 6,900,000 at the maximum and 7,935,000 at the super maximum.

Limiting Factors and Considerations
The valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is determined in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines and is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion offering will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the estimated pro forma market value thereof. The appraisal reflects only a valuation range as of this date for the pro forma market value of Hoyne Bancorp immediately upon issuance of the stock and does not take into account any trading activity with respect to the purchase and sale of common stock in the secondary market on the date of issuance of such securities or at anytime thereafter following the completion of the stock offering.
RP Financial’s valuation was based on the financial condition and operations of Hoyne Bancorp as of March 31, 2025, the date of the financial data included in the prospectus.
RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits RP Financial, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.
This valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion regulations and guidelines. These updates will consider, among other things, any developments or changes in the financial performance and condition of Hoyne Bancorp, management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift shares, both existing issues and new issues. These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which impact value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative and regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market and the market for thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any such new developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the release of the update. The valuation will also be updated at the completion of Hoyne Bancorp’s stock offering.

I. OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Introduction
Hoyne Savings Bank (the “Bank”), established in 1887, is an Illinois chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. In 2014, the Bank reorganized into the mutual holding company structure, forming Hoyne Savings, MHC, a federally-chartered mutual holding company (the “MHC”). The MHC owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Hoyne Financial Corporation, a federally-chartered corporation (“Hoyne Financial”). The Bank is the wholly owned subsidiary of Hoyne Financial. The Bank serves the Chicago metropolitan area through the main office, 5 branch offices and a loan production office. A map of the Bank’s branch office locations is provided in Exhibit I-1. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system and its deposits are insured up to the maximum allowable amount by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of March 31, 2025, the MHC had consolidated total assets of $466.5 million, total deposits of $370.9 million and total equity of $88.8 million equal to 19.04% of total assets. The MHC’s audited financial statements are included by reference as Exhibit I-2.
Plan of Conversion
On May 16, 2025, the Boards of Directors of the MHC, Hoyne Financial and the Bank adopted a plan of conversion whereby the MHC will convert to stock form. As a result of the conversion, Hoyne Financial, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the MHC and currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank, will be succeeded by a new Delaware corporation with the name of Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (“Hoyne Bancorp” or the “Company”). Following the conversion, the MHC and Hoyne Financial will cease to exist and the Bank will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoyne Bancorp. For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter also be referred to as Hoyne Bancorp or the Company, unless otherwise identified as the MHC.
Hoyne Bancorp will offer its common stock in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Benefit Plans including the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members, as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable federal regulatory guidelines governing mutual-to-stock conversions. To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to members of the general public in a community offering and a syndicated community offering. A portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of the common stock will be used to purchase all of the then to be issued and outstanding capital stock of the Bank and the balance of the net proceeds will be retained by the Company.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS | ||
| I.2 | |||
At this time, following the conversion no other activities are contemplated for the Company other than the ownership of the Bank, funding a loan to the newly-formed ESOP and reinvestment of the proceeds that are retained by the Company. In the future, Hoyne Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, diversify into other banking-related activities, pay dividends or repurchase its stock, although there are no specific plans to undertake such activities at the present time.
The plan of conversion provides for the establishment of a new charitable foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation contribution will be funded with Hoyne Bancorp common stock in an amount equal to 2.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock sold in the offering (including shares contributed to the Foundation) and $250,000 in cash. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which the Bank operates and to enable those communities to share in the Bank’s long-term growth. The Foundation will be dedicated completely to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes.
Strategic Overview
Hoyne Bancorp maintains a community banking emphasis, with a primary strategic objective of meeting the borrowing and savings needs of its local customer base. The Company is pursuing a strategy of strengthening its community bank franchise dedicated to meeting the banking needs of business and retail customers in the communities that are served by the Company. To facilitate execution of new strategic initiatives, the Company hired a commercial banking executive in 2022, Walter F. Healy. Mr. Healy was hired to lead a new commercial lending division and was appointed President of the MHC, Hoyne Financial and the Bank in September 2023, and was appointed Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of those organizations in July 2024 upon the retirement of the previous CEO. Pursuant to the implementation of new strategic initiatives, the Company has invested in infrastructure, personnel and platforms.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS | ||
| I.3 | |||
In concurrence with the establishment and building of the commercial lending division, growth strategies are emphasizing increased lending diversification that is primarily targeting growth of commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and construction loans. The Company’s objective is to fund asset growth primarily through deposit growth, emphasizing growth of lower cost core deposits. Core deposit growth is expected to be in part facilitated by growth of commercial lending relationships, pursuant to which the Company is seeking to establish a full service banking relationship with its commercial loan customers through offering a full range of commercial loan products that can be packaged with lower cost commercial deposit products.
Investments serve as a supplement to the Company’s lending activities and the investment portfolio is considered to be indicative of a low risk investment strategy. Mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) constitute the largest portion of the Company’s investment portfolio, followed by U.S. Government agency obligations. Other investments held by the Company consist of U.S. Treasury securities and municipal bonds.
Deposits have consistently served as the primary funding source for the Bank, as borrowings have not been utilized as a funding source in recent years. Certificates of deposit (“CDs”) constitute the largest portion of the Company’s deposit base.
Hoyne Bancorp’s earnings base is largely dependent upon net interest income and operating expense levels. Recent trends show that the Company has reversed the trend of net interest margin compression, which has been primarily realized through an increase in yield earned on interest-earning assets as the result of loan growth. Operating expense ratios have increased in recent years, as higher operating expenses associated with the Company’s investment in infrastructure to facilitate implementation of its strategic plan have yet to be leveraged through asset growth. Historically, non-interest operating income has been a limited contributor to earnings, reflecting the Company’s traditional thrift operating strategy that has provided for only a modest earnings contribution from fee-based products and services. Growth of non-operating income is a strategic initiative for the Company, pursuant to which the Company is seeking to build full-service banking relationships with its retail and commercial customers that will generate increased revenues derived from fee-based products and services. Credit loss provisions and non-operating gains were a more significant factor in the Company’s earnings during 2024 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The Company established additional credit loss provisions in 2024 largely due to loan growth, and in 2024 and first quarter of 2025 recorded gains on the sale of real estate owned (“REO”).
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS | ||
| I.4 | |||
The post-offering business plan of the Company is expected to continue to focus on implementing strategic initiatives to develop and grow a full service community banking franchise. Accordingly, Hoyne Bancorp will continue to be an independent full service community bank, with a commitment to meeting the retail and commercial banking needs of individuals and businesses in the Chicago metropolitan area.
A key component of the Company’s business plan is to complete a public stock offering. The Company’s strengthened capital position will increase operating flexibility and facilitate implementation of planned growth strategies and management of risk. The capital raised in the stock offering will serve to substantially increase regulatory capital and, thereby, reduce loan concentration levels that will better position the Company to sustain desired loan growth as well as provide more of a cushion against any unforeseen credit quality related losses in future periods. The infusion of stock proceeds will also serve to enhance the Company’s liquidity and reduce interest rate risk, particularly through increasing the Company’s interest-earning assets/interest-bearing liabilities (“IEA/IBL”) ratio. The additional funds realized from the stock offering will serve to raise the level of interest-earning assets funded with equity and, thereby, reduce the ratio of interest-earning assets funded with interest-bearing liabilities as the balance of interest-bearing liabilities will initially remain relatively unchanged following the stock offering, which may facilitate a reduction in Hoyne Bancorp’s funding costs. Hoyne Bancorp’s strengthened capital position will also better position the Company to pursue expansion opportunities. Such expansion could potentially include establishing or acquiring additional banking offices to gain a market presence in nearby markets that are complementary to the Company’s existing branch network. Given its strengthened capital position following the stock offering, the Company will also be in a better position to pursue growth through an acquisition of a financial institution and/or other financial service providers. The Company has previously completed mergers with two mutual institutions, which were completed in 2017 (Prospect Federal Savings Bank - $235 million in assets) and in 2020 (Loomis Federal Savings and Loan Association - $64 million in assets). At this time, the Company has no specific plans for expansion through another acquisition, but will evaluate expansion through acquisition as such opportunities arise. The projected uses of proceeds are highlighted below.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS | ||
| I.5 | |||
| · | Hoyne Bancorp. The Company is expected to retain up to 50% of the net offering proceeds. At present, funds at the Company level, net of the loan to the ESOP and the cash contribution to the Foundation, are expected to be invested into a deposit at the Bank. Over time, the funds may be utilized for various corporate purposes, possibly including acquisitions, infusing additional equity into the Bank, repurchases of common stock and the payment of cash dividends. |
| · | Hoyne Savings Bank. Approximately 50% of the net stock proceeds will be infused into the Bank in exchange for all of the Bank’s stock. Cash proceeds (i.e., net proceeds less deposits withdrawn to fund stock purchases) infused into the Bank are anticipated to become part of general operating funds and are expected to be primarily utilized to fund loan growth over time. |
Overall, it is the Company’s objective to pursue growth that will serve to increase returns, while, at the same time, growth will not be pursued that could potentially compromise the overall risk associated with Hoyne Bancorp’s operations.
Balance Sheet Trends
Table 1.1 shows the Company’s historical balance sheet data from yearend December 31, 2020 through March 31, 2025. From yearend 2020 through March 31, 2025, Hoyne Bancorp’s assets decreased at a 2.73% annual rate. Total assets decreased from yearend 2020 through yearend 2023, which was followed by an increase in assets during the past one and one-quarter years. Asset shrinkage funded deposit run-off from yearend 2020 through yearend 2023 and the repayment of borrowings in 2021 and 2022. Asset growth in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 was primarily funded by deposit growth. A summary of Hoyne Bancorp’s key operating ratios for the past two and one-quarter years is presented in Exhibit I-3.
Hoyne Bancorp’s loans receivable portfolio increased at a 2.30% annual rate from yearend 2020 through March 31, 2025, which consisted of loan shrinkage during 2021 and 2022 followed by loan growth during the past two and one-quarter years. Since yearend 2020, the Company’s loan growth combined with a decrease in assets provided for a increase in the loans-to-assets ratio from 42.33% at yearend 2020 to 52.46% at March 31, 2025.
Trends in the Company’s loan portfolio composition over the past two and one-quarter years show that the concentration of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans comprising total loans decreased from 74.24% at yearend 2023 to 48.48% at March 31, 2025. Comparatively, commercial real estate loans, which constitute the primary type of lending diversification for the Company, increased from 10.94% of total loans at yearend 2023 to 21.79% of total loans at March 31, 2025. Over the past two and one-quarter years, other areas of lending diversification for the Company showed increases in the concentrations of commercial business loans and construction loans, and a slight decrease in the concentration of home equity loans and lines of credit. As of March 31, 2025, commercial business loans equaled 13.48% of total loans, construction loans equaled 10.48% of total loans and home equity loans and lines of credit equaled 2.37% of total loans. The loan portfolio at March 31, 2025 also included $8.6 million of purchased loans and loan participations equal to 3.39% of total loans outstanding.

| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.7 |
The intent of the Company’s investment policy is to provide adequate liquidity and to generate a favorable return within the context of supporting Hoyne Bancorp’s overall credit and interest rate risk objectives. It is anticipated that proceeds retained at the holding company level will primarily be invested into short-term liquid funds held as a deposit at the Bank. Over the past five and one-quarter years, the Company’s level of cash and investment securities (inclusive of FHLB/Bankers Bank stock) ranged from a low of 37.65% at yearend 2024 to a high of 58.14% at yearend 2021 and equaled 38.99% of assets at March 31, 2025. Mortgage-backed securities totaling $104.4 million comprised the most significant component of the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2025. Other investments held by the Company at March 31, 2025, consisted of U.S. Treasury securities ($3.0 million), U.S. Government agency obligations ($38.9 million) and municipal bonds ($1.4 million). As of March 31, 2025, investments maintained as available for sale and held to maturity totaled $115.1 million and $32.5 million, respectively. Investments maintained as available for sale had a net unrealized loss of $19.4 million at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company also held $32.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and CDs, and $2.2 million of FHLB and Bankers Bank stock. Exhibit I-4 provides detail of the Company’s investment portfolio.
The Company also maintains an investment in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies, which cover the lives of certain key officers. The purpose of the investment is to provide funding for the benefit plans of the covered individuals. The life insurance policies earn tax-exempt income through cash value accumulation and death proceeds. As of March 31, 2025, the cash surrender value of the Company’s BOLI equaled $17.2 million.
Hoyne Bancorp’s funding needs have largely been addressed through deposits and internal cash flows. From yearend 2020 through March 31, 2025, the Company’s deposits decreased at a 2.32% annual rate. Following a downward trend in deposits from yearend 2021 through yearend 2023, deposits increased in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Recent deposit growth trends reflect that deposit growth has been primarily realized through an increase in CDs. CDs comprised 54.30% of total deposits at March 31, 2025, versus 52.23% of total deposits at December 31, 2023.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.8 |
On a limited basis, the Company has utilized borrowings as an alternative funding source to address funding needs for growth and to support management of deposit costs and interest rate risk. Since yearend 2021, the Company maintained a zero balance of borrowings through March 31, 2025.
The Company’s equity decreased at a 3.16% annual rate from yearend 2020 through March 31, 2025, as retention of earnings for the years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023 and the first quarter of 2025 were more than offset by a net loss reported for 2024 and the adjustment for accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. Since yearend 2020, a slightly greater rate of decline in equity relative to the decrease in assets provided for a decrease in the Company’s equity-to-assets ratio from 19.40% at yearend 2020 to 19.04% at March 31, 2025. Similarly, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio decreased from 19.18% at yearend 2020 to 18.98% at March 31, 2025. The Bank maintained capital surpluses relative to all of its regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2025. The addition of stock proceeds will serve to strengthen the Company’s capital position, as well as support growth opportunities. At the same time, the significant increase in Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma capital position will initially depress its return on equity (“ROE”).
Income and Expense Trends
Table 1.2 shows the Company’s historical income statements for the past five years and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s reported earnings ranged from a net loss of $1.5 million or 0.35% average assets during 2024 to net income of $4.1 million or 0.89% of average assets during 2020. The net loss reported for 2024 was on a core earnings basis as well, while the peak earnings for 2020 were largely realized from a non-operating bargain purchase gain recorded in connection with the acquisition of Loomis Federal Savings and Loan Association. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $281,000 or 0.06% of average assets. Net interest income and operating expenses represent the primary components of the Company’s earnings. Non-interest operating income has been somewhat of a limited source of earnings for the Company. Credit loss provisions were a more significant earnings factor during 2024 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. Non-operating gains contributed to the Company’s earnings in 2020, 2024 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025.

| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.10 |
During the period covered in Table 1.2, the Company’s net interest income to average assets ratio ranged from a low of 2.05% during 2020 to a high of 2.44% during 2022 and equaled 2.36% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the Company’s net interest income ratio from 2022 through 2024 was largely due to interest rate spread compression that resulted from a more significant increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities relative to the yield earned on interest-earning assets. Comparatively, the increase in the Company’s net interest income ratio during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 was due to an increase in the interest income ratio and a decrease in the interest expense ratio, which was facilitated interest rate spread expansion realized from an increase in the yield on interest-earnings assets and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the year ago quarter. The Company’s net interest rate spreads and yields and costs for the past two and one-quarter years are set forth in Exhibits I-3 and I-5.
Non-interest operating income has been somewhat of a limited contributor to the Company’s earnings throughout the period covered in Table 1.2, reflecting the Company’s limited diversification into products and services that generate non-interest operating income. For the period covered in Table 1.2, sources of non-interest operating income ranged from a low of $421,000 or 0.09% of average assets during 2020 to a high of $1.1 million or 0.24% of average assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. Customer service fees and income earned on BOLI constitute the major sources of the Company’s non-interest operating revenues.
Operating expenses represent the other major component of the Company’s earnings, ranging from a low of $10.1 million or 2.18% of average assets during 2020 to a high of $13.5 million or 3.04% of average assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The upward trend in the Company’s operating expenses includes normal increases in overhead expenses, as well as investment in infrastructure to facilitate implementation of the Company’s strategic plan. Upward pressure will be placed on the Company’s operating expense ratio following the stock offering, due to expenses associated with operating as a publicly-traded company, including expenses related to the stock benefit plans. At the same time, the increase in capital realized from the stock offering will increase the Company’s capacity to leverage operating expenses through implementation of current growth strategies.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.11 |
Overall, the general trends in the Company’s net interest income and operating expense ratios since 2020 reflect a decrease in core earnings, as indicated by the Company’s expense coverage ratios (net interest income divided by operating expenses). Hoyne Bancorp’s expense coverage ratio equaled 0.94 times during 2020, versus a ratio of 0.78 times during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the expense coverage ratio since 2020 was the result of an increase in the operating expense ratio, which was partially offset by an increase in the net interest income ratio. Similarly, Hoyne Bancorp’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses as a percent of the sum of net interest income and other operating income) of 101.87% during 2020 was more favorable compared to its efficiency ratio of 116.92% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. In terms of recent trends, the Company’s expense coverage and efficiency ratios for the most recent twelve month period were more favorable in comparison to the comparable ratios recorded for 2024.
Over the past five and one-quarter years, credit loss provisions established by the Company have ranged from zero credit loss provisions during 2020, 2021 and 2023 to credit loss provisions of $486,000 or 0.11% of average assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The higher credit loss provisions established during 2024 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 were largely related to growth of the loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2025, the Company maintained an allowance for loan losses of $2.3 million, equal to 0.90% of total loans outstanding and 252.28% of non-performing loans. Exhibit I-6 sets forth the Company’s allowance for credit losses activity during the past two and one-quarter years.
Non-operating income contributed to the Company’s earnings in 2020, 2024 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, with such income ranging from $699,000 or 0.16% of average assets during 2024 to $4.3 million or 0.92% of average assets during 2020. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, non-operating income amounted to $1.4 million or 0.31% of average assets. Non-operating income for 2020 consisted of a $4.0 million bargain purchase gain and a $292,000 gain on investment securities, while non-operating income for 2024 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of gains on REO. The gains on REO were realized from the increase in value from book to market value of branch locations that were closed by the Company and are currently being marketed for sale. Overall, the non-operating gains recorded by the Company were viewed as non-recurring income items.
The Company effective tax rate ranged from a tax benefit of 178.76 % during 2023 to a tax expense of 48.14% during 2021 and equaled a tax benefit of 72.72% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The tax benefit recorded for 2023 includes the reversal of a $2.7 million valuation allowance that was established for the likelihood that the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized in the future. As set forth in the prospectus, the Company’s effective marginal tax rate is 28.5%.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.12 |
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company’s balance sheet is liability sensitive in the short-term (less than one year). The Company’s interest rate risk analysis as of March 31, 2025 indicates that in the event of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in interest rates, assuming a parallel and immediate shift across the yield curve over such period, net interest income would decrease by 12.4% over a one year period and net portfolio value would decrease by 11.3% (see Exhibit I-7).
The Company pursues a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk, particularly with respect to seeking to limit the repricing mismatch between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The Company manages interest rate risk from the asset side of the balance sheet through underwriting originations 1-4 family loans to conform to secondary market standards that would facilitate the sale of those loans as warranted, maintaining most of the investment portfolio as available for sale, emphasizing commercial real estate, commercial business and construction lending as areas of lending diversification which consists primarily of variable rate or shorter term fixed rate loans. As of March 31, 2025, of the Company’s total loans due after March 31, 2026, adjustable rate loans comprised 14.10% of those loans (see Exhibit I-8). On the liability side of the balance sheet, management of interest rate risk has been primarily pursued through emphasizing growth of lower costing and less interest rate sensitive transaction and savings account deposits Transaction and savings accounts comprised 45.70% of the Company’s total deposits at March 31, 2025.
The infusion of stock proceeds will serve to further limit the Company’s interest rate risk exposure, as most of the net proceeds will be redeployed into interest-earning assets and the increase in the Company’s capital position will lessen the proportion of interest rate sensitive liabilities funding assets.
Lending Activities and Strategy
Pursuant to the Company’s strategic plan, the Company is pursuing a diversified lending strategy emphasizing commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and construction loans as the primary areas of targeted loan growth. Other areas of lending for the Company include 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. Exhibit I-9 provides historical detail of Hoyne Bancorp’s loan portfolio composition for the past two and one-quarter years and Exhibit I-10 provides the contractual maturity of the Company’s loan portfolio by loan type as of March 31, 2025.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.13 |
1-4 Family Residential Loans. Hoyne Bancorp offers fixed rate and adjustable rate 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years. Loans are generally underwritten to secondary market guidelines, so as to allow for the sale of such loans if such a strategy is warranted for purposes of interest rate risk management. ARM loans offered by the Bank have initial repricing terms of one, three or five years and then reprice annually for the balance of the loan term. ARM loans are indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding balance of 1-4 family loans totaled $129.1 million equal to 51.20% of total loans outstanding, which included $4.4 million of loans sold and $6.8 million of purchased loans.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans consist largely of loans originated by the Company, which are generally collateralized by properties in the Company’s primary market area. On a limited basis, the Company supplements originations of commercial real estate loans with purchased loan participations from local banks. Loan participations are subject to the same underwriting criteria and loan approvals as applied to loans originated by the Company. Hoyne Bancorp generally originates commercial real estate loans up to a LTV ratio of 75% and generally requires a minimum debt-coverage ratio of 1.2 times. Commercial real estate loans are originated as fixed rate loans, which generally have balloon terms of five years with amortization terms of up to 25 years. Properties securing the commercial real estate loan portfolio include multi-family apartment complexes, retail properties and a private school campus. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s largest commercial real estate loan had an outstanding balance of $9.7 million and was secured by a private school campus. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding balance of commercial real estate loans totaled $55.0 million equal to 21.79% of total loans outstanding.
Commercial Business Loans. The commercial business loan portfolio is generated through extending loans to businesses operating in the local market area. Expansion of commercial business lending activities is a desired area of loan growth for the Company, pursuant to which the Company is seeking to become a full service community bank to its commercial loan customers through offering a full range of commercial loan products that can be packaged with lower cost commercial deposit products. Commercial business loans offered by the Company consist of floating lines of credit indexed to The Wall Street Journal prime rate and fixed rate term loans. Commercial business loans are generally secured by business assets, and the Company generally obtains personal guarantees with respect to all commercial business lines of credit. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding balance of commercial business loans totaled $34.7 million equal to 13.75% of total loans outstanding, which included $14.9 million of outstanding commercial lines of credit and $687,000 of purchased loan participations.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.14 |
Construction Loans. Construction loans originated by the Company consist of loans to finance the construction of 1-4 family residences and commercial real estate properties. Construction loans are interest only loans during the construction period, which is usually up to 12 to 18 months, and are generally offered up to a maximum LTV ratio of 75% of the appraised market value of the completed property. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding balance of construction loans totaled $27.5 million equal to 10.89% of total loans outstanding, which included $1.0 million of purchased loan participations.
Home Equity Loans and Lines Credit. The Company’s 1-4 family lending activities include home equity loans and lines of credit. Home equity loans are fixed rate loans originated with terms pf up to 10 years. Home equity lines of credit are offered as 5-year variable rate loans tied to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal. The Company will generally originate home equity loans and lines of credit up to a maximum loan-to value (“LTV”) ratio of 80%, inclusive of other liens on the property, on owner occupied properties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding balance of home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $6.0 million equal to 2.37% of total loans outstanding.
Asset Quality
Historically, the Company’s 1-4 family lending emphasis and lending in local and familiar markets have supported maintenance of favorable credit quality measures. Over the past two and one-quarter years, Hoyne Bancorp’s balance of non-performing assets ranged from a low of $901,000 or 0.19% of assets at March 31, 2025 to a high of $1.7 million or 0.37% of assets at December 31, 2024. As shown in Exhibit I-11, non-performing assets at March 31, 2025 consisted entirely of non-accruing loans. Non-accruing loans at March 31, 2025 consisted of $859,000 of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and $42,000 of purchased loans and loan participations.
| RP® Financial, LC. | OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I.15 |
To track the Company’s asset quality and the adequacy of valuation allowances, Hoyne Bancorp has established detailed asset classification policies and procedures which are consistent with regulatory guidelines. Classified assets are reviewed on a regular basis by senior management and the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, when needed, the Company establishes additional valuation allowances to cover anticipated losses in classified or non-classified assets. As of March 31, 2025, the Company maintained credit loss allowances of $2.3 million, equal to 0.90% of total loans outstanding and 255.97% of non-performing loans.
Funding Composition and Strategy
Deposits have consistently served as the Company’s primary funding source, as the Company has maintained a zero balance of borrowings from yearend 2022 through March 31, 2025. Exhibit I-12 sets forth the Company’s deposit composition for the past two and one-quarter years. Transaction and savings account deposits constituted 45.70% of total deposits at March 31, 2025, as compared to 47.77% of total deposits at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the concentration of core deposits comprising total deposits from yearend 2023 to March 31, 2025 was the result of comparatively strong growth of CDs relative to growth of core deposits. As of March 31, 2025, savings accounts comprised the largest concentrations of the Company’s core deposits equaling 59.07% of core deposits.
The balance of the Company’s deposits consists of CDs, which equaled 54.30% of total deposits at March 31, 2025 compared to 52.23% of total deposits at December 31, 2023. Hoyne Bancorp’s current CD composition reflects a higher concentration of short-term CDs (maturities of one year or less).

II. MARKET AREA
Introduction
Hoyne Bancorp serves the Chicago metropolitan area through its main office, five branch offices and a loan production office, which are all located in Cook County. Details regarding the Company’s office properties are set forth in Exhibit II-1.
With operations in a major metropolitan area, the Company’s competitive environment includes a significant number of thrifts, commercial banks and other financial services companies, some of which have a regional or national presence and are larger than the Company in terms of deposits, loans, scope of operations, and number of branches. These institutions also have greater resources at their disposal than the Company. The Chicago metropolitan area has a highly developed economy, with a relatively high concentration of highly skilled workers who are employed in a number of different industry clusters including healthcare, financial services, technology and education.
Future growth opportunities for Hoyne Bancorp depend on the national economy, the future growth and stability of the local and regional economy, demographic growth trends and the nature and intensity of the competitive environment. These factors have been briefly examined to help determine the growth potential that exists for the Company, the relative economic health of the Company’s market area, and the resultant impact on value.
National Economic Factors
The future success of the Company’s operations is partially dependent upon various national economic trends. July 2024 manufacturing activity contracted for a fourth consecutive month with an index reading of 46.8, while service sector activity for July rebounded to an index reading of 51.4. Job growth slowed in July, as the U.S. economy added 114,000 jobs and the unemployment rate increased to 4.3%. Existing and new home sales for July increased 1.3% and 10.6%, respectively, as a drop in mortgage rates helped to boost demand for home purchases. July retail sales showed a robust increase of 1.3%. Reports for the manufacturing and service sectors reflected a pick-up in activity during August, with respective index readings of 47.2 and 51.5. The U.S. economy added 142,000 jobs in August, which was less than expected, and the August unemployment rate fell to 4.2%. August existing home sales slipped 2.5%, as home prices remained elevated amid limited inventory of houses listed for sale. Similarly, new home sales for August declined by 4.7%. Manufacturing activity remained subdued in September, contracting for the sixth consecutive month with an index reading of 47.2. Comparatively, September service sector activity accelerated with an index reading of 54.9. Hiring picked-up in September as the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs, while the September unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%. Retail sales for September increased 0.4%. September existing home sales fell 3.5%, versus a 4.1% increase in September new home sales. Third quarter GDP increased at a 2.8% annualized rate (subsequently revised up to 3.1%).
| RP® Financial, LC. | MARKET AREA II.2 |
October 2024 manufacturing activity slowed to an index reading of 46.5, while service sector activity for October accelerated to an index reading of 56.0. The unemployment report for October showed the U.S. economy added only 12,000 jobs and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Retail sales for October were up 0.4%. A short-lived drop in mortgage rates contributed to a 3.4% increase in October existing home sales, which was counter to the 17.3% decline in October new home sales. Manufacturing activity contracted for an eighth straight month in November with an index reading of 48.4, while November serviced sector eased to an index reading of 52.1. The U.S. economy added 227,000 jobs in November and the November unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%. Retail sales for November increased 0.7%. Existing home sales increased for a second consecutive month in November with an increase of 4.5%, while November new home sales rose 5.9%. Manufacturing activity for December picked up slightly with an index reading of 49.3 and service sector activity for December accelerated to an index reading of 54.1. Stronger-than-expected job growth was recorded for December, as the U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs and the December unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. December existing home sales were up 2.2%, while existing home sales for 2024 in total were the lowest since 1995. New home sales for December increased 3.6%. Fourth quarter GDP increased at a 2.3% annual rate, which was less than expected.
For the first time in 26 months, manufacturing activity expanded in January 2025 with an index reading of 50.9. The pace of service sector activity for January slowed to an index reading of 52.8. Job growth slowed in January with the U.S. economy adding 143,000 jobs, while the January unemployment rate fell to 4.0%. Retail sales for January declined 0.9%.

The U.S. economy added 151,000 jobs in February and the February unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%. Sales of existing and new homes for February showed respective increases of 4.2% and 1.8%. Following two months of expansion, manufacturing activity for March contracted with an index reading of 49.0. The pace of service sector activity also slowed in March to an index reading of 50.8. Job growth for March came in stronger-than-forecasted, as the U.S. economy added 228,000 jobs. The U.S. March unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% Retail sales for March increased 1.4%, as shoppers stocked up on big ticket items before new tariffs started kicking in.

Manufacturing activity for April 2025 slowed to an index reading of 48.7, versus service sector activity for April accelerating to an index reading of 51.6. April unemployment data showed 177,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%.
In terms of interest rates trends over the past few quarters, an increase in the June unemployment rate translated into long-term Treasury yields edging lower in early-July 2024. Signs of cooling inflation, such as June’s CPI showing a 3.0% increase from a year ago and a 0.1% decline from May, helped to sustain the downward trend in long-term Treasury yields through mid-July. Long-term Treasury yields stabilized going into late-July and then edged lower in the last week of July. The Federal Reserve concluded its end of July policy meeting holding its benchmark rate steady, while signaling the possibility of an interest rate cut at their September meeting that would be facilitated by continued progress in fighting inflation. Treasury yields tumbled at the beginning of August on worries of an economic slowdown, as investors reacted to employment and manufacturing data showing a weakening economy. The 10-year Treasury yield stabilized at slightly below 4.0% through the remainder of August, with inflation falling below 3.0% for the first time since 2021 based on a 2.9% increase in July’s CPI. Signs of a weakening labor market, along with the August CPI posting an increase of 2.5%, provided for a downward trend in long-term Treasury yields through mid-September with the 10-year Treasury yield dipping to a low of 3.62%. After the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting concluded with a 0.5% cut to its target rate, the 10-year Treasury yield edged higher through the end of September.
The upward trend in long-term Treasury yields continued through early-October 2024, with the 10-year Treasury yield moving above 4.0% as September’s employment report showed stronger-than-expected job growth. A 2.4% increase in September’s CPI, which indicated a slight easing in inflation, translated into long-term Treasury yields stabilizing through mid-October. Long-term Treasury yields resumed an upward trend in the second half of October and through the early-November election results. The Federal Reserve concluded its November policy meeting approving a quarter-point rate cut on November 7th, but signaled a little more uncertainty over how quickly it would continue to lower rates. After long-term Treasury yields initially eased lower following the rate cut, the 10-year Treasury yield moved back above 4.4% in mid-November as the 2.6% increase in October’s CPI indicated that consumer prices edged up in October. Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Treasury Secretary spurred a rally in Treasury bonds in late-November through the first week of December, with the 10-year Treasury yield dipping below 4.2% following the release of November’s employment report. November’s CPI showing an uptick in inflation and a stronger-than-expected increase in November retail sales translated into long-term Treasury yields trending higher through mid-December. Following the Federal Reserve’s December 18th quarter-point rate cut, the 10-year Treasury yield spiked above 4.5% and then stabilized at that level for the balance of 2024 as the Federal Reserve signaled a more cautious approach to future interest rate cuts.
| RP® Financial, LC. | MARKET AREA II.4 |
Long-term Treasury yields moved higher at the start of 2025, as better-than-expected economic data fanned fears that inflation would remain stubbornly high and reduced expectations of further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. December’s CPI report showing core inflation slowed sparked a bond market rally, with the 10-year Treasury yield declining from a mid-January high of 4.80% to a late-January low of 4.52%. The Federal Reserve concluded its late-January meeting holding interest rates steady and indicated it was in a monitoring phase on when to cut rates again. Going into the first week of February, long-term Treasury yields stabilized ahead of the release of January’s unemployment report and remained stable until spiking higher in mid-February which was triggered by a 3.0% increase in the January CPI. For the balance of February and into early-March, long-term Treasury yields trended lower with the 10-year Treasury yield declining from a mid-February high of 4.64% to an early-March low of 4.11% ahead of the release of February’s employment report. Following February’s employment report, long-term Treasury yields edged higher and then remained fairly stable through the end of March. Factors contributing to interest rates stabilizing included February’s CPI showing a cooling pace of inflation and the Federal Reserve concluding its mid-March meeting by holding interest rate steady and taking a wait and see approach on any further rate cuts.
Concerns that President Trump’s escalating trade war could push the U.S. economy into a recession fueled a bond market rally at the start of the second quarter of 2025, as the 10-year Treasury yield dipped below 4.0%. As the trade war with China escalated, long-term Treasury yields reversed course and moved higher heading into mid-April. Long-term Treasury yields edged lower in the second half of April, with the 10-year Treasury yield dropping to 4.17% at the end of April in reaction to the GDP for the first quarter showing a decline. April’s employment report showing stronger-than-expected job growth translated into long-term Treasury yields edging higher in early-May. As of May 5, 2025, the bond equivalent yields for U.S. Treasury bonds with terms of one and ten years equaled 4.02% and 4.36%, respectively, versus comparable year ago yields of 5.12% and 4.50%. Exhibit II-2 provides historical interest rate trends.

| RP® Financial, LC. | PEER GROUP ANALYSIS |
| III.1 |
III. PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
This chapter presents an analysis of Hoyne Bancorp’s operations versus a group of comparable savings institutions (the "Peer Group") selected from the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions in a manner consistent with the regulatory valuation guidelines. The basis of the pro forma market valuation of Hoyne Bancorp is derived from the pricing ratios of the Peer Group institutions, incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences in relation to the Peer Group. Since no Peer Group can be exactly comparable to Hoyne Bancorp, key areas examined for differences are: financial condition; profitability, growth and viability of earnings; asset growth; primary market area; dividends; liquidity of the shares; marketing of the issue; management; and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform.
Peer Group Selection
The Peer Group selection process is governed by the general parameters set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines. Accordingly, the Peer Group is comprised of only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock is either listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, since their stock trading activity is regularly reported and generally more frequent than non-publicly traded and closely-held institutions. Institutions that are not listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ are inappropriate, since the trading activity for thinly-traded or closely-held stocks are typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and thus may not be a reliable indicator of market value. We have also excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition or subject to rumored acquisition, mutual holding companies and recent conversions, since their pricing ratios are subject to unusual distortion and/or have limited trading history. A recent listing of the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions is included as Exhibit III-1.
| RP® Financial, LC. | PEER GROUP ANALYSIS |

Ideally, the Peer Group, which must have at least 10 members to comply with the regulatory valuation guidelines, should be comprised of locally- or regionally-based institutions with comparable resources, strategies and financial characteristics. There are approximately 40 fully-converted, publicly-traded institutions nationally and, thus, it is typically the case that the Peer Group will be comprised of institutions with relatively comparable characteristics. To the extent that differences exist between the converting institution and the Peer Group, valuation adjustments will be applied to account for the differences. Since Hoyne Bancorp will be a full public company upon completion of the offering, we considered only full public companies to be viable candidates for inclusion in the Peer Group. From the universe of publicly-traded thrifts, we selected ten institutions with characteristics similar to those of Hoyne Bancorp. In the selection process, we applied two “screens” to the universe of all public companies that were eligible for consideration:
| o | Screen #1 Midwest, Southeast and Southwest institutions with assets less than $1.2 billion, tangible equity-to-assets ratios of greater than 7.5% and positive reported and/or core earnings. Six companies met the criteria for Screen #1 and all six were included in the Peer Group: Affinity Bancshares, Inc. of Georgia, Catalyst Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, Central Plains Bancshares, Inc. of Nebraska, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, IF Bancorp, Inc. of Illinois and Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. of Texas. Exhibit III-2 provides financial and public market pricing characteristics of all publicly-traded Midwest, Southeast and Southwest thrifts. |
| o | Screen #2 Mid-Atlantic and New England institutions with assets less than $1.2 billion, tangible equity-to-assets ratios of greater than 7.5% and positive reported and/or core earnings. Four companies met the criteria for Screen #2 and all four were included in the Peer Group: BV Financial, Inc. of Maryland, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. of New Jersey, PB Bankshares, Inc. of Pennsylvania and SR Bancorp, Inc. of New Jersey. Exhibit III-3 provides financial and public market pricing characteristics of all publicly-traded Mid-Atlantic and New England thrifts. |
Table 3.1 shows the general characteristics of each of the ten Peer Group companies and Exhibit III-4 provides summary demographic and deposit market share data for the primary market areas served by each of the Peer Group companies. While there are expectedly some differences between the Peer Group companies and Hoyne Bancorp, we believe that the Peer Group companies, on average, provide a good basis for valuation subject to valuation adjustments. The following sections present a comparison of Hoyne Bancorp’s financial condition, income and expense trends, loan composition, interest rate risk and credit risk versus the Peer Group as of the most recent publicly available date. Comparative data for all publicly-traded thrifts has been included in the Chapter III tables as well.
In addition to the selection criteria used to identify the Peer Group companies, a summary description of the key comparable characteristics of each of the Peer Group companies relative to Hoyne Bancorp’s characteristics is detailed below.
| o | Affinity Bancshares, Inc. of Georgia. Comparable due to similar ratio of deposits funding assets, limited earnings contribution from sources of non-interest operating income and similar ratio of non-performing assets as a percent of assets. |
| o | BV Financial, Inc. of Maryland. Comparable due to relatively high equity/assets ratio, limited earning contribution from sources of non-interest operating income, similar concentration of 1-4 family loans as a percent of assets and similar ratio of non-performing assets as a percent of assets. |

Ideally, the Peer Group companies would be comparable to Hoyne Bancorp in terms of all of the selection criteria, but the universe of publicly-traded thrifts does not provide for an appropriate number of such companies. However, in general, the companies selected for the Peer Group were fairly comparable to Hoyne Bancorp, as will be highlighted in the following comparative analysis. Comparative data for all publicly-traded thrifts has been included in the Chapter III tables as well.
Financial Condition
Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities and some differences given the selection procedures outlined above. The Company’s and the Peer Group's ratios reflect balances as of March 31, 2025. Hoyne Bancorp’s equity-to-assets ratio of 19.04% was above the Peer Group's average net worth ratio of 15.10%. The Company’s pro forma capital position will increase with the addition of stock proceeds, which will provide the Company with an equity-to-assets ratio that will further exceed the Peer Group’s ratio. Tangible equity-to-assets ratios for the Company and the Peer Group equaled 18.98% and 14.42%, respectively. The increase in Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma capital position will be favorable from a risk perspective and in terms of future earnings potential that could be realized through leverage and lower funding costs. At the same time, the Company’s higher pro forma capitalization will initially depress return on equity. Both Hoyne Bancorp’s and the Peer Group's capital ratios reflected capital surpluses with respect to the regulatory capital requirements.

| III.7 |
The interest-earning asset compositions for the Company and the Peer Group were somewhat similar, with loans constituting the largest concentration of interest-earning assets for both Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group. The Company’s loans-to-assets ratio of 52.46% was lower than the comparable Peer Group ratio of 74.04%. Comparatively, the Company’s cash and investments-to-assets ratio of 39.00% was higher than the comparable Peer Group ratio of 20.18%. Overall, Hoyne Bancorp’s interest-earning assets amounted to 91.46% of assets, which was less than the comparable Peer Group ratio of 94.22%. The Peer Group’s non-interest earning assets included bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) equal to 2.12% of assets and goodwill/intangibles equal to 0.68% of assets, while the Company maintained BOLI equal to 3.68% of assets and goodwill/intangibles equal to 0.06% of assets.
Hoyne Bancorp’s funding liabilities reflected a funding composition that was somewhat similar to that of the Peer Group's funding composition. The Company’s deposits equaled 79.50% of assets, which was slightly above the Peer Group’s ratio of 78.37%. Comparatively, the Company maintained a zero balance of borrowings, versus a borrowings-to-assets ratio of 5.46% for the Peer Group. Total interest-bearing liabilities maintained by the Company and the Peer Group, as a percent of assets, equaled 79.50% and 83.83%, respectively.
A key measure of balance sheet strength for a thrift institution is its IEA/IBL ratio. Presently, the Company’s IEA/IBL ratio is higher than the Peer Group’s ratio, based on IEA/IBL ratios of 115.00% and 112.39%, respectively. The additional capital realized from stock proceeds will provide Hoyne Bancorp with an IEA/IBL ratio that further exceeds the Peer Group’s ratio, as the increase in capital provided by the infusion of stock proceeds will serve to lower the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets and will be primarily deployed into interest-earning assets.
The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows annual growth rates for key balance sheet items. Hoyne Bancorp’s growth rates are annualized growth rates for the fifteen months ended March 31, 2025, while the Peer Group’s growth rates are based on annual growth for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. Hoyne Bancorp recorded a 3.63% increase in assets, versus asset growth of 1.57% recorded by the Peer Group. Asset growth for Hoyne Bancorp was driven by a 21.79% increase in loans, which was in part funded by a 14.71% reduction in cash and investments. Asset growth for the Peer Group was driven by a 6.32% increase in loans, which was in part funded by a 6.97% reduction in cash and investments.
Deposit growth of 4.05% primarily funded the Company’s asset growth. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group was primarily funded through deposit growth of 3.70%, which also funded a 26.29% reduction in borrowings. The Company’s tangible capital increased 1.19%, which was less than the Peer Group’s tangible growth rate of 2.84%. The Company’s post-conversion capital growth rate will initially be constrained by maintenance of a higher pro forma capital position. Additionally, implementation of any stock repurchases and dividend payments, pursuant to regulatory limitations and guidelines, could also slow the Company’s capital growth rate in the longer term following the stock offering.

Income and Expense Components
Table 3.3 displays statements of operations for the Company and the Peer Group. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on earnings for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. Hoyne Bancorp recorded a net loss equal to 0.06% of average assets, versus net income equal to 0.62% of average assets recorded by the Peer Group. Higher ratios of net interest income and non-interest operating income, and lower ratios of operating expenses and credit loss provisions represented earnings advantages for the Peer Group, while a higher ratio of non-operating income as well as a tax benefit were earnings advantages for the Company.
The Peer Group’s higher net interest income to average assets ratio was realized through a higher income ratio, which was partially offset by the Company’s lower interest expense ratio. A higher yield earned on interest-earning assets (5.35% versus 4.34% for the Company) and a higher concentration of assets maintained in interest-earning assets facilitated the Peer Group’s higher interest income ratio. Likewise, the Company’s lower interest expense ratio was facilitated by a lower cost of funds (1.99% versus 2.87% for the Peer Group), as well as maintaining a lower concentration of interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of assets. Overall, Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group reported net interest income to average assets ratios of 2.36% and 3.07%, respectively.
In another key area of core earnings strength, the Company maintained a higher level of operating expenses than the Peer Group. For the period covered in Table 3.3, the Company and the Peer Group reported operating expense to average assets ratios of 3.04% and 2.55%, respectively. The Company’s higher operating expense ratio was consistent with its comparatively higher number of employees relative to its asset size. Assets per full time equivalent employee equaled $7.775 million for the Company, versus $8.477 million for the Peer Group.
When viewed together, net interest income and operating expenses provide considerable insight into a thrift's earnings strength, since those sources of income and expenses are typically the most prominent components of earnings and are generally more predictable than losses and gains realized from the sale of assets or other non-recurring activities. In this regard, as measured by their expense coverage ratios (net interest income divided by operating expenses), the Company’s earnings were less favorable than the Peer Group’s earnings. Expense coverage ratios for Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group equaled 0.78x and 1.20x, respectively.

Sources of non-interest operating income provided a larger contribution to the Peer Group’s earnings, with such income amounting to 0.24% and 0.39% of Hoyne Bancorp’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively. Taking non-interest operating income into account in comparing the Company’s and the Peer Group's earnings, Hoyne Bancorp’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, as a percent of the sum of non-interest operating income and net interest income) of 116.92% was less favorable than the Peer Group's efficiency ratio of 73.70%.
Credit loss provisions had a slightly larger impact on the Company’s earnings, as credit loss provisions established by the Company and the Peer Group equaled 0.11% and 0.04% of average assets, respectively
The Company recorded a net non-operating gain equal to 0.31% of average assets, versus a net non-operating loss equal to 0.02% of average assets for the Peer Group. Typically, gains and losses generated from the sale of assets and other non-operating activities are viewed as earnings with a relatively high degree of volatility, and, thus, are not considered to be part of an institution’s core earnings. Extraordinary items were not a factor in either the Company’s or the Peer Group's earnings.
The Company recorded an effective tax benefit of 72.72% compared to an effective tax rate of 30.42% for the Peer Group. As indicated in the prospectus, the Company’s effective marginal tax rate is equal to 28.5%.
Loan Composition
Table 3.4 presents data related to the Company’s and the Peer Group’s loan portfolio compositions (including the investment in mortgage-backed securities). In comparison to the Peer Group, the Company’s loan portfolio composition reflected a higher combined concentration of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities (49.09% of assets versus 35.29% for the Peer Group), as the Company maintained a similar concentration of 1-4 family loans and a higher concentration of mortgage-backed securities. Loan servicing intangibles constituted a more significant balance sheet item for the Peer Group, equal to an average of $209,000 for the Peer Group compared to a zero balance for the Company.

Diversification into higher risk and higher yielding types of lending was more significant for the Peer Group. The Peer Group’s loan portfolio composition reflected higher concentrations of commercial real estate loans (26.61% of assets versus 10.52% of assets for the Company), multi-family loans (6.65% of assets versus 1.26% of assets for the Company), commercial business loans (7.47% of assets versus 7.43% of assets for the Company) and consumer loans (2.12% of assets versus 0.00% of assets for the Company), while the Company maintained a slightly higher concentration of construction/land loans (5.89% of assets versus 5.58% of assets for the Peer Group). In total, construction/land, commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial business and consumer loans comprised 25.10% and 48.43% of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s assets, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
Table 3.5 reflects various key ratios highlighting the relative interest rate risk exposure of the Company versus the Peer Group. In terms of balance sheet composition, Hoyne Bancorp’s interest rate risk characteristics implied a lower degree of interest rate risk exposure relative to the comparable measures for the Peer Group. In particular, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio and IEA/IBL ratios were higher than the respective Peer Group ratios, which were partially negated by the Company’s higher ratio of non-interest earning assets as a percent of assets. On a pro forma basis, the infusion of stock proceeds should serve to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet interest rate risk characteristics, given the increases that will be realized in Company’s tangible equity-to-assets and IEA/IBL ratios.
To analyze interest rate risk associated with the net interest margin, we reviewed quarterly changes in net interest income as a percent of average assets for Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group. In general, the comparative fluctuations in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s net interest income ratios implied that a slightly greater degree of interest rate risk was associated with the Company’s net interest margin, based on the interest rate environment that prevailed during the period covered in Table 3.5. The stability of the Company’s net interest margin should be enhanced by the infusion of stock proceeds, as interest rate sensitive liabilities will be funding a lower portion of Hoyne Bancorp’s assets and the proceeds will be substantially deployed into interest-earning assets.

Credit Risk
Overall, based on a comparison of credit risk measures, the Company’s implied credit risk exposure was viewed to be similar to the Peer Group’s credit risk exposure. As shown in Table 3.6, the Company’s ratios for non-performing/assets and non-performing loans/loans equaled 0.23% and 0.42%, respectively, versus comparable measures of 0.40% and 0.47% for the Peer Group. These ratios include troubled debt restructurings that are in compliance with their modified terms. The Company’s and Peer Group’s loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans equaled 213.63% and 212.86%, respectively. Loss reserves maintained as percent of loans receivable equaled 0.90% for the Company, versus 1.13% for the Peer Group. Net loan charge-offs were a larger factor for the Peer Group, as net loan charge-offs for the Peer Group equaled 0.05% of loans compared to a nominal net recovery for the Company.
Summary
Based on the above analysis, RP Financial concluded that the Peer Group forms a reasonable basis for determining the pro forma market value of the Company. Such general characteristics as asset size, capital position, interest-earning asset composition, funding composition, core earnings measures, loan composition, credit quality and exposure to interest rate risk all tend to support the reasonability of the Peer Group from a financial standpoint. Those areas where differences exist will be addressed in the form of valuation adjustments to the extent necessary.

IV. VALUATION ANALYSIS
Introduction
This chapter presents the valuation analysis and methodology prepared pursuant to the regulatory valuation guidelines, and valuation adjustments and assumptions used to determine the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock to be issued in conjunction with the Company’s conversion transaction.
Appraisal Guidelines
The federal regulatory appraisal guidelines required by the FRB, the FDIC and the Department specify the pro forma market value methodology for estimating the pro forma market value of a converting thrift. Pursuant to this methodology: (1) a peer group of comparable publicly-traded institutions is selected; (2) a financial and operational comparison of the subject company to the peer group is conducted to discern key differences; and (3) a valuation analysis in which the pro forma market value of the subject company is determined based on the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation, incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences. In addition, the pricing characteristics of recent conversions, both at conversion and in the aftermarket, must be considered.
RP Financial Approach to the Valuation
The valuation analysis herein complies with such regulatory approved guidelines. Accordingly, the valuation incorporates a detailed analysis based on the Peer Group, discussed in Chapter III, which constitutes “fundamental analysis” techniques. Additionally, the valuation incorporates a “technical analysis” of recently completed stock conversions, including closing pricing and aftermarket trading of such offerings. It should be noted that these valuation analyses cannot possibly fully account for all the market forces which impact trading activity and pricing characteristics of a particular stock on a given day.
The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for the Company’s to-be-issued stock. Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial will: (1) review changes in Hoyne Bancorp’s operations and financial condition; (2) monitor Hoyne Bancorp’s operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group to identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions, interest rates, and the stock market environment, including the market for thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending conversion offerings (including those in the offering phase), both regionally and nationally. If material changes should occur during the conversion process, RP Financial will evaluate if updated valuation reports should be prepared reflecting such changes and their related impact on value, if any. RP Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the closing of the offering to determine if the prepared valuation analysis and resulting range of value continues to be appropriate.
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.2 |
The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market and operating environment for the Company and for all thrifts. Subsequent changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with great unpredictability) may materially impact the market value of all thrift stocks, including Hoyne Bancorp’s value, or Hoyne Bancorp’s value alone. To the extent a change in factors impacting the Company’s value can be reasonably anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated impact into the analysis.
Valuation Analysis
A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III. The following sections summarize the key differences between the Company and the Peer Group and how those differences affect the pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and weaknesses of the Company relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial condition, profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth, primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, marketing of the issue, management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform. We have also considered the market for thrift stocks, in particular new issues, to assess the impact on value of the Company coming to market at this time.
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.3 |
| 1. | Financial Condition |
The financial condition of an institution is an important determinant in pro forma market value because investors typically look to such factors as liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in assessing investment attractiveness. The similarities and differences in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s financial strengths are noted as follows:
| § | Overall A/L Composition. In comparison to the Peer Group, the Company’s interest-earning asset composition showed a lower concentration of loans and a higher concentration of cash and investments. The Peer Group’s loan portfolio composition as a percent of assets reflected a greater degree of diversification into higher risk and higher yielding types of loans. Overall, in comparison to the Peer Group, the Company’s interest-earning asset composition provided for a lower yield earned on interest-earning assets. Hoyne Bancorp’s funding composition reflected a slightly higher level of deposits and a lower level of borrowings relative to the comparable Peer Group ratios, which translated into a lower cost of funds for the Company. Overall, as a percent of assets, the Company maintained lower levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities compared to the Peer Group’s ratios, which resulted in a higher IEA/IBL ratio for the Company. After factoring in the impact of the net stock proceeds, the Company’s IEA/IBL ratio will further exceed the Peer Group’s ratio. On balance, RP Financial concluded that asset/liability composition was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for financial condition. |
| § | Credit Quality. The Company’s ratios for non-performing assets and non-performing loans were similar to the comparable Peer Group ratios. The Company and the Peer Group maintained similar loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans, while the Peer Group maintained a slightly higher level of loss reserves as a percent of loans. Net loan charge-offs were a slightly larger factor for the Peer Group. Overall, RP Financial concluded that credit quality was a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition. |
| § | Balance Sheet Liquidity. The Company operates with a higher level of cash and investment securities relative to the Peer Group (39.00% of assets versus 20.18% for the Peer Group). Following the infusion of stock proceeds, the Company’s cash and investments ratio is expected to increase as the proceeds retained at the holding company level will be initially deployed into investments. The Company’s future borrowing capacity was considered to be slightly greater than the Peer Group’s borrowing capacity, based on the Company’s current lower level of borrowings relative to the Peer Group’s level of borrowings. Overall, RP Financial concluded that balance sheet liquidity was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for financial condition. |
| § | Funding Liabilities. The Company’s interest-bearing funding composition reflected a slightly higher level of deposits and a lower level of borrowings relative to the comparable Peer Group ratios, which translated into a lower cost of funds for the Company. Total interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of assets were lower for the Company. Following the stock offering, the increase in the Company’s capital position will reduce the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding the Company’s assets. Overall, RP Financial concluded that funding liabilities were a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for financial condition. |
| § | Capital. The Company currently operates with a higher equity-to-assets ratio than the Peer Group. Accordingly, following the stock offering, Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma capital position will further exceed the Peer Group's equity-to-assets ratio. The increase in the Company’s pro forma capital position will result in greater leverage potential and reduce the level of interest-bearing liabilities utilized to fund assets. At the same time, the Company’s more significant capital surplus will likely result in a lower ROE. On balance, RP Financial concluded that capital strength was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for financial condition. |
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.4 |
On balance, Hoyne Bancorp’s balance sheet strength was considered to be more favorable than the Peer Group’s balance sheet strength and, thus, a slight upward adjustment was applied for the Company’s financial condition.
| 2. | Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings |
Earnings are a key factor in determining pro forma market value, as the level and risk characteristics of an institution’s earnings stream and the prospects and ability to generate future earnings heavily influence the multiple that the investment community will pay for earnings. The major factors considered in the valuation are described below.
| § | Reported Earnings. The Company’s reported earnings were lower than the Peer Group’s on a ROAA basis, as the Company reported a net loss equal to 0.06% of average assets. Comparatively, the Peer Group’s ROAA on a reported earnings basis equaled 0.62%. The Company maintained a more favorable ratio for non-operating income, while the Peer Group maintained more favorable ratios for net interest income, non-interest operating income, operating expenses and credit loss provisions. Reinvestment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets will serve to increase the Company’s earnings, with the benefit of reinvesting proceeds expected to be somewhat offset by higher operating expenses associated with operating as a publicly-traded company and the implementation of stock benefit plans. Overall, the Company’s pro forma reported earnings were viewed as not as strong as the Peer Group’s earnings and, thus, RP Financial concluded that reported earnings were a moderately negative factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. |
| § | Core Earnings. Net interest income, operating expenses, non-interest operating income and credit loss provisions were reviewed in assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s core earnings. In these measures, the Company operated with a lower net interest income ratio, a higher operating expense ratio, a lower level of non-interest operating income and a higher level of credit loss provisions. The Company’s ratios for net interest income and operating expenses translated into a lower expense coverage ratio in comparison to the Peer Group’s ratio (equal to 0.78x versus 1.20X for the Peer Group). Likewise, the Company’s efficiency ratio of 116.92% was less favorable than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 73.70%. Credit loss provisions had a slightly larger impact on the Company’s earnings. Overall, these measures, as well as the expected earnings benefits the Company should realize from the redeployment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets and leveraging of post-conversion capital, which will be somewhat negated by expenses associated with the stock benefit plans and operating as a publicly-traded company, indicate that the Company’s pro forma core earnings will be less favorable than the Peer Group’s core earnings. Therefore, RP Financial concluded that this was a moderately negative factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. |
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.5 |
| § | Interest Rate Risk. Quarterly changes in the Company’s and the Peer Group's net interest income to average assets ratios indicated a greater degree of volatility was associated with the Company’s net interest margin. Other measures of interest rate risk, such as tangible equity/assets, IEA/IBL and non-interest earning assets/assets ratios were generally more favorable for the Company. On a pro forma basis, the infusion of stock proceeds can be expected to provide the Company with tangible equity-to-assets and IEA/ILB ratios that will further exceed the Peer Group’s ratios, as well as enhance the stability of the Company’s net interest margin through the reinvestment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets. On balance, RP Financial concluded that interest rate risk was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. |
| § | Credit Risk. Credit loss provisions were a slightly larger factor in the Company’s earnings (0.11% of average assets versus 0.04% of average assets for the Peer Group). In terms of future exposure to credit quality related losses, the Peer Group maintained a higher concentration of assets in loans and exhibited a greater degree of lending diversification into higher risk types of loans. Credit quality measures for non-performing assets and loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans and as a percent of loans were fairly similar for the Company and the Peer Group. Overall, RP Financial concluded that credit risk was a neutral factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. |
| § | Earnings Growth Potential. Several factors were considered in assessing earnings growth potential. First, the Peer Group maintained a higher net interest income to average assets ratio than the Company, which would tend to facilitate the Peer Group continuing to maintain a stronger net interest margins going forward. Second, the infusion of stock proceeds will provide the Company with more significant growth potential through leverage than currently maintained by the Peer Group. Third, the Peer Group’s higher ratio of non-interest operating income and lower operating expense ratio were viewed as advantages for the Peer Group to sustain earnings growth during periods when net interest margins come under pressure as the result of adverse changes in interest rates. Overall, earnings growth potential was considered to be a neutral factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. |
| § | Return on Equity. Currently, the Company’s core ROE is lower than the Peer Group’s core ROE. Accordingly, as the result of the significant increase in capital that will be realized from the infusion of net stock proceeds into the Company’s equity, the Company’s pro forma return on equity on a core earnings basis will continue to be less than the Peer Group’s return on equity ratio. Accordingly, this was a moderately negative factor in the adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. |
On balance, Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma earnings strength was considered to be less favorable than the Peer Group’s and, thus, a moderate downward adjustment was applied for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.6 |
| 3. | Asset Growth |
The Company recorded a 3.63% increase in assets, versus a 1.57% increase in assets recorded by the Peer Group. Asset growth for the Company was primarily driven by an increase in loans, which was in part funded by a decrease in cash and investments. Likewise, the Peer Group’s asset growth was primarily sustained by loan growth, which was in part funded by a reduction in cash and investments. On a pro forma basis, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio will significantly exceed the Peer Group's tangible equity-to-assets ratio, indicating greater leverage capacity for the Company. On balance, a slight upward adjustment was applied for asset growth.
| 4. | Primary Market Area |
The general condition of an institution’s market area has an impact on value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for profitable activities in the local market served. Hoyne Bancorp serves the Chicago metropolitan through six full service branch locations. Operating in a densely populated market area provides the Company with growth opportunities, but such growth must be achieved in a highly competitive market environment. The Company competes against significantly larger institutions that provide a larger array of services and have significantly larger branch networks than maintained by Hoyne Bancorp. The competitiveness of the market area is highlighted by the Company’s very low market share of deposits in Cook County.
All of the Peer Group companies operate in markets with smaller populations compared to Cook County. Population growth for the primary market area counties served by the Peer Group companies reflect a range of growth rates, but overall population growth rates in the markets served by the Peer Group companies were higher compared to the population shrinkage that was experienced by Cook County during the past five years and is projected to continue over the next five years. Cook County has a higher per capita income compared to the Peer Group’s average per capita income and the Peer Group’s primary market area counties were relatively less affluent markets within their respective states compared to Cook County which had a slightly higher per capita income compared to Illinois’ per capita income. The average and median deposit market shares maintained by the Peer Group companies were well above the Company’s market share of deposits in Cook County. Overall, the degree of competition faced by the Peer Group companies was viewed as less than faced by the Company, while the growth potential in the markets served by the Peer Group companies was for the most part viewed to be more favorable in comparison to the growth potential in the Company’s primary market area. Summary demographic and deposit market share data for the Company and the Peer Group companies is provided in Exhibit III-4. As shown in Table 4.1, the average unemployment rate for the primary market area counties served by the Peer Group companies was lower than the unemployment rate reflected for Cook County. On balance, we concluded that a slight downward adjustment was appropriate for the Company’s market area.

| 5. | Dividends |
At this time the Company has not established a dividend policy. Future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors will depend upon a number of factors, including investment opportunities, growth objectives, financial condition, profitability, tax considerations, minimum capital requirements, regulatory limitations, stock market characteristics and general economic conditions.
Six out of the ten Peer Group companies show payment of cash dividends, with implied dividend yields ranging from 1.03% to 8.17%. The average dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions equaled 1.80% as of May 5, 2025. Comparatively, as of May 5, 2025, the average dividend yield on the stocks of all fully-converted publicly-traded thrifts equaled 2.60%.
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.8 |
While the Company has not established a definitive dividend policy prior to converting, the Company’s dividend paying capacity is viewed to be less than Peer Group’s capacity to pay dividends, based on the Company’s lower pro forma core earnings. On balance, we concluded that a slight downward adjustment was warranted for this factor.
| 6. | Liquidity of the Shares |
The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded in the public markets. All ten of the Peer Group members trade on the NASDAQ. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a particular stock. The market capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged from $38.0 million to $168.0 million as of May 5, 2025, with average and median market values of $80.4 million and $71.0 million, respectively. The shares issued and outstanding of the Peer Group companies ranged from 2.4 million to 10.6 million, with average and median shares outstanding of 5.3 million and 4.2 million, respectively. The Company’s stock offering is expected to have a pro forma market value that will be similar to the Peer Group’s average and median market values, while the Company’s pro forma shares outstanding will be in the upper half of the Peer Group’s range of shares outstanding. Like all of the Peer Group companies, the Company’s stock will be quoted on the NASDAQ following the stock offering. Overall, we anticipate that the Company’s stock will have a comparable trading market as the Peer Group companies on average and, therefore, concluded no adjustment was necessary for this factor.
| 7. | Marketing of the Issue |
We believe that three separate markets exist for thrift stocks, including those coming to market such as Hoyne Bancorp: (1) the after-market for public companies, in which trading activity is regular and investment decisions are made based upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE, dividends and future prospects; (2) the new issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on the basis of the same factors, but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of prior operations as a fully-converted publicly-held company and stock trading history; and (3) the acquisition market for bank and thrift franchises in Illinois. All three of these markets were considered in the valuation of the Company’s to-be-issued stock.
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.9 |
| A. | The Public Market |
The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and is tracked by most investment houses and related organizations. Exhibit IV-1 provides pricing and financial data on all publicly-traded thrifts. In general, thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation, perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues and stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock market trends for various indices and includes historical stock price index values for thrifts and commercial banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays various stock price indices as of May 5, 2025.
In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the performance of the overall stock market has been mixed in recent quarters. The NASDAQ and S&P 500 started the third quarter of 2024 posting a string of new record high closings, which was fueled by a jump in Tesla’s stock price and growing confidence that the Federal Reserve was on track to potentially begin cutting rates in September in light of June’s employment report showing an uptick in the unemployment rate. All three of the U.S. major stock indexes notched record highs in mid-July, which was followed by investors rotating out of technology shares and into laggards such as financials, industrials and small-cap companies. The selloff in tech stocks was fueled by growing fears that shares of chip manufactures would face more U.S. trade restrictions and, in turn, reduce the potential for artificial intelligence investments paying off, with the rotation out of tech stocks continuing into late-July. Stocks closed out July swinging higher after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and signaled the central bank was prepared to cut interest rates in September if inflation continued to move lower. A lackluster jobs report for July and data showing weakness in manufacturing and construction sparked a broad-based selloff at the beginning of August, as fears of slowing growth rattled markets worldwide. Data showing cooling inflation and a favorable report for retail sales in July contributed to stocks rebounding in mid-August, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ logging eight consecutive days of gains that extended into the second half of August. Strong signals from the Federal Reserve Chairman that interest rate cuts were coming soon spurred a stock market rally heading into the last week of August, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) closing at a record high. A volatile month of trading concluded with all three of the major U.S. stock indexes posting gains for the month of August. Data showing continued weakness in the manufacturing sector and a softening labor market pressured stocks lower in the first week of September. Stocks rebounded in the second week of September, as investors weighed the possibility that the Federal Reserve would kick off its rate easing campaign with a 0.5% rate-cut amid signs of a softening economy and the CPI for August showing a slower pace of inflation. The Federal Reserve’s 0.5% rate cut sparked a global stock market rally heading into the final weeks of the third quarter, which was followed by a narrow trading range to close out a generally strong third quarter for U.S. stocks. Overall, stock market trends saw investors gravitating into value stocks during the third quarter, in which industrials, utilities and financials outperformed the technology sector.

| IV.10 |
Stocks traded mixed at the start of the fourth quarter of 2024, as investors weighed the prospect of a widening war in the Middle East and higher oil prices against stronger-than-expected job growth reported for September. The DJIA and S&P 500 climbed to fresh record highs heading into mid-October, with some large banks starting the third quarter earnings season posting earnings that beat expectations. Mixed earnings reports pulled the DJIA and S&P 500 down off of record highs in the second half of October, while advances in tech shares led the NASDAQ to a record high close heading into late-October. Stocks closed out October trading lower, which was led by a downturn in tech shares as some big tech companies posted disappointing earnings. The weaker than expected jobs report for October translated into stock market gains at the start of November. A broad-based rally pushed stocks higher on Election Day, which was followed by Donald Trump’s election victory powering major U.S. stock indexes to record highs. Following the Federal Reserve’s November 7th rate cut, investor optimism of tax cuts and reduced regulation under a unified Republican government sustained the stock market rally heading into mid-November. The generally positive trend for stocks continued through the second half of November, with U.S. stocks posting their biggest monthly gains for 2024. A batch of better-than-expected earnings posted by some technology companies boosted all three of the major U.S. stock indexes to record highs in early-December, which included the DJIA closing above 45000 for the first time. Following November’s employment report stocks traded mixed heading into mid-December, as the Dow retreated slightly while a rally in AI stocks led the NASDAQ to a record high close above the 20000 mark. Stocks plummeted following the Federal Reserve’s rate cut on December 18th, as investors reacted to the Federal Reserve’s statement signaling greater doubts about future interest rate cuts. A less-than-expected increase in a measure of inflation favored by the Federal Reserve sparked a stock market rally heading into the final trading days of 2024, which was followed by the major U.S. stock indexes declining in a year end selloff led by a pullback in technology stocks. Overall, the DJIA closed at 42544.22 on the last day of trading in 2024, an increase of 12.9% for 2024, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite ended 2024 with respective increases of 23.3% and 28.6%.

| IV.11 |
The broader stock market was somewhat trendless at the start of 2025, which was followed by a sharp selloff with the release of the stronger-than-expected December jobs report dampening expectations of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Stocks spiked higher in mid-January, as investors cheered December’s CPI report that indicated underlying price pressures were easing. A strong start to the fourth quarter earnings season and President Trump’s support for tax cuts and deregulation helped the DJIA and S&P post new highs for 2025 going into late-January. Technology shares plunged in late-January after the emergence of a Chinese company posed a new threat to the U.S. artificial industry, while the broader stock market closed out January trading in narrow range. Stocks edged lower at the start of February, after President Trump placed new tariffs on China and agreed to delay imposing tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Mixed earnings reports, January’s employment report showing lower than forecasted job growth, inflation data reigniting worries that interest rates might not come down and growing optimism for a resolution to the war in Ukraine translated into a largely trendless market for stocks through mid-February 2025, with the S&P 500 closing at a record high heading into the second half of February. Signs of a weakening economy provided for a two-day selloff in the broader stock market in the second half of February, which was followed by mixed market trends with technology shares underperforming the broader stock market. All three of the major U.S. stock indexes posted losses for the month of February. Trade tensions weighed on stocks at the start of March, as new U.S. tariffs placed on the U.S.’s top three trading partners sparked counter moves from China, Canada and Mexico. Global trade tensions sustained the stock market downturn going into mid-March, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ sliding into correction territory amid concerns of inflation intensifying and economic growth slowing as the result of the new tariffs. The threat of a U.S. government shutdown receding, the Federal Reserve’s outlook for slower growth following its decision to hold interest rate steady, an easing of planned tariff initiatives and some solid economic data contributed to a stock market rally heading into the second half of March. A turbulent first quarter for stocks concluded with worries about tariffs and the economy sending the S&P 500 and NASDAQ to their worst quarterly performances since 2022. The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ showed respective first quarter losses of 4.6% and 10.4% during the first quarter, while the DJIA posted a first quarter decline of 1.3%.

| IV.12 |
U.S. stocks plunged at the start of the second quarter of 2025, as the new tariffs unveiled by President Trump were more severe than expected and, in turn, ignited an escalating trade war with China. On April 9th, major U.S. stock indexes staged a historic rally after President Trump paused steep tariffs on most countries and signaled a willingness to negotiate on trade. Following the one-day rally, volatility prevailed in the broader stock market going into the second half of April amid uncertainty over U.S. trade policy and mounting tensions between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve. A broader stock market selloff was followed by stocks surging higher in the last week of April, as stocks were buoyed by President Trump’s softer stance on the trade war with China and his statement that he didn’t plan to replace the Federal Reserve Chairman. April’s employment report showing better-than-expected job growth and more signs of a potential thaw between Washington and China extended the multi-day climb in the stock market at the beginning of May, with the DJIA and S&P 500 posting gains for nine consecutive sessions before declining on May 5th. On May 5, 2025, the DJIA closed at 41218.83, an increase of 6.1% from one year ago and a decrease of 3.1% year-to-date, and the NASDAQ closed at 17844.24, an increase of 9.1% from one year ago and a decrease of 7.6% year-to-date. The S&P 500 Index closed at 5650.38 on May 5, 2025, an increase of 9.1% from one year ago and a decrease of 3.9% year-to-date.
The market for financial institution stocks has also experienced varied trends in recent quarters. Signs of some slack in the labor market provided a boost to financial shares in the first week of July 2024, as June’s higher unemployment rate increased confidence that the Federal Reserve would cut rates in September. As investors rotated into stock market laggards, financial shares continued to rally going into the second half of July and then traded in a narrow range through the Federal Reserve’s end of July policy meeting. Financial shares participated in the broader market selloff at the beginning of August, with July’s disappointing employment report prompting heightened concerns about an economic slowdown. Milder inflation data boosted bank and thrift stocks along with the broader stock market going into the second half of August, as investors became more confident that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in September. Comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman that solidified expectations of a rate cut in September sustained the positive trend in financial stocks through the end of August. Bank and thrift stocks followed the broader stock market lower during the first week of September, as investors reacted to data pointing towards a weakening economy. While the broader stock market rallied in the second week of September, bank and thrift shares eased lower in advance of the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting. Financial shares rallied on news of the Federal Reserve cutting its target rate by 0.5% and then retreated slightly to close out the third quarter.

After edging lower at the beginning of October 2024, strong job growth reflected in September’s employment report and better-than-expected third quarter earnings reported by some large banks served as a catalyst to financial shares trading higher through mid-October. As long-term Treasury yields trended higher, bank and thrift shares traded in a narrow range through the second half of October and then dipped slightly lower in early-November after October’s employment report showed meager job growth. Bank shares were among the strongest performers that led a post-election stock market rally on optimism that Donald Trump’s second term would lead to reduced regulation and a revival in deal making. Following the post-election rally, bank stocks traded in a narrow range over the next month, edging up slightly in late-November and then pulling back slightly in early-December. November’s CPI showing a slight uptick in inflation provided for a slight pullback in financial shares ahead of the Federal Reserve’s December meeting, which was followed by a sharp downturn in bank stocks after the Federal Reserve cast doubts on future rate cuts at the conclusion of its December policy meeting. Following the one-day selloff, bank shares edged higher in the final trading days of 2024. For 2024 overall, the S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index was up 30.0%.
Bank shares paralleled movements in the broader stock market during the first couple weeks of 2025, retreating when the December jobs report showed stronger-than-expected growth and then rallying in mid-January when the December CPI showed a slow down in core inflation. A slight upward trend in financial stocks was sustained going into the second half of January, as bank shares were buoyed by generally healthy fourth quarter earnings coming out of the banking sector. As the fourth quarter earnings season progressed, bank shares traded in a narrow range at the end of January and into early-February. Recession fears and worries about a trade war were noteworthy factors that contributed to a month’s long slide in bank stocks that extended into mid-March 2025. News of the U.S. government avoiding a shutdown, the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady and some favorable economic data served as catalysts for bank shares following the broader stock market higher heading into the final two weeks of the first quarter. Worsening consumer sentiment, hotter-than-expected inflation and President Trump’s tariff announcements were factors that contributed to bank shares trading lower to close out the first quarter. For the first quarter overall, the S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index was down 2.07%.

Concerns that President Trump’s new tariff plan would result in an economic slowdown served as the basis for bank shares selling off at the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, with the large banks experiencing more significant declines. Bank shares participated in the broader stock market rally on April 9th and then gave back some of those gains heading into mid-April at the start of the second quarter earnings season. Easing trade tensions and first quarter earnings that generally met expectations provided for a generally positive trend in bank shares through the second half of April, with the favorable employment report for April helping to extend the advance in bank stocks into early-Mary. On May 5, 2025, the S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index closed at 199.0, an increase of 18.5% from one year ago and a decrease of 2.0% year-to-date.
| B. | The New Issue Market |
In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new issue market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in determining the Company’s pro forma market value. The new issue market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned thrift stocks in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically: (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials. The distinction between pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps no clearer than in the case of the price/book (“P/B”) ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio may reflect a premium to book value. Therefore, it is appropriate to also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.
As shown in Table 4.2, five standard conversion offerings, one second-step offering and one mutual holding company offering have been completed during the past twelve months through May 5, 2025. The average closing pro forma price/tangible book ratio of the five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months equaled 47.7%. On average, the five standard conversion offerings reflected price appreciation of 14.6% after the first week of trading. As of May 5, 2025, the five standard conversion offerings reflected a 22.0% increase in price on average from their IPO prices. Of the five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months, the offering completed Fifth District Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (“Fifth District Bancorp”) in August 2024 was considered to be most comparable to Hoyne Bancorp’s offering. Fifth District Bancorp raised gross proceeds of $54.6 million, which was between the minimum and midpoint of its offering range. Fifth District Bancorp’s closing pro forma price/tangible book ratio equaled 45.4%. Fifth District Bancorp’s stock price was up 2.4% after the first week of trading. As of May 5, 2025, Fifth District Bancorp’s stock price was up 24.2% from its IPO price.

| C. | The Acquisition Market |
Also considered in the valuation was the potential impact on Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma market value of recently completed and pending acquisitions of other thrifts and banks operating in Illinois. As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there were 17 Illinois bank and thrift acquisitions completed from the beginning of 2023 through May 5, 2025 and there were 10 acquisitions pending for an Illinois financial institution. The recent acquisition activity involving Illinois financial institutions may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation for the Company’s stock. To the extent that acquisition speculation may impact the Company’s offering, we have largely taken this into account in selecting companies for the Peer Group which operate in markets that have experienced a comparable level of acquisition activity as the Company’s market and, thus, are subject to the same type of acquisition speculation that may influence Hoyne Bancorp’s stock. However, since converting thrifts are subject to a three-year regulatory moratorium from being acquired, acquisition speculation in Hoyne Bancorp’s stock would tend to be less compared to the stocks of the Peer Group companies.
* * * * * * * * * * *
In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue, we considered trends in both the overall thrift market, the new issue market including the new issue market for thrift conversions and the local acquisition market for thrift stocks. Taking these factors and trends into account, RP Financial concluded that a slight downward adjustment was appropriate in the valuation analysis for purposes of marketing of the issue.
| 8. | Management |
Hoyne Bancorp’s management team appears to have experience and expertise in all of the key areas of the Company’s operations. In recent years, Hoyne Bancorp has added senior management to facilitate implementation of the Company’s strategic plan. Exhibit IV-5 provides summary resumes of Hoyne Bancorp’s Board of Directors and senior management. While the Company does not have the resources to develop a great deal of management depth, given its asset size and the impact it would have on operating expenses, management and the Board have been effective in implementing an operating strategy that can be well managed by the Company’s present organizational structure. Hoyne Bancorp currently does not have any executive management positions that are vacant.
| RP® Financial, LC. | VALUATION ANALYSIS |
| IV.17 |
Similarly, the returns, equity positions and other operating measures of the Peer Group companies are indicative of well-managed financial institutions, which have Boards and management teams that have been effective in implementing competitive operating strategies. Therefore, on balance, we concluded no valuation adjustment relative to the Peer Group was appropriate for this factor.
| 9. | Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform |
In summary, as a fully-converted, FDIC insured institution, Hoyne Bancorp will operate in substantially the same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members -- all of whom are adequately capitalized institutions and are operating with no apparent restrictions. Exhibit IV-6 reflects Hoyne Savings Bank’s pro forma regulatory capital ratios. On balance, no adjustment has been applied for the effect of government regulation and regulatory reform.
Summary of Adjustments
Overall, based on the factors discussed above, we concluded that the Company’s pro forma market value should reflect the following valuation adjustments relative to the Peer Group:
| Key Valuation Parameters: | Valuation Adjustment | |
| Financial Condition | Slight Upward | |
| Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings | Moderate Downward | |
| Asset Growth | Slight Upward | |
| Primary Market Area | Slight Downward | |
| Dividends | Slight Downward | |
| Liquidity of the Shares | No Adjustment | |
| Marketing of the Issue | Slight Downward | |
| Management | No Adjustment | |
| Effect of Govt. Regulations and Regulatory Reform | No Adjustment |

Valuation Approaches
In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the FRB and the Department i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing the Company’s to-be-issued stock – price/earnings (“P/E”), price/book (“P/B”), and price/assets (“P/A”) approaches – all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the stock proceeds. In computing the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated the valuation parameters disclosed in the Company’s prospectus for reinvestment rate, effective tax rate, stock benefit plan assumptions and expenses (summarized in Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8).
In our estimate of value, we assessed the relationship of the pro forma pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group and recent conversion offerings.
RP Financial’s valuation placed an emphasis on the following:
| · | P/E Approach. The P/E approach is generally the best indicator of long-term value for a stock. However, given that the Company’s pro forma earnings reflect a net loss on a core earnings basis, the P/E approach was less meaningful for the Company’s valuation. |
| · | P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, particularly in the context of an initial public offering, as the earnings approach involves assumptions regarding the use of proceeds. RP Financial considered the P/B approach to be a useful indicator of pro forma value, taking into account the pricing ratios under the P/E approach, which were not meaningful and the P/A approach. We have also modified the P/B approach to exclude the impact of intangible assets (i.e., price/tangible book value or “P/TB”), in that the investment community frequently makes this adjustment in its evaluation of this pricing approach. |
| · | P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally a less reliable indicator of market value, as investors typically assign less weight to assets and attribute greater weight to book value and earnings. Furthermore, this approach as set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines does not take into account the amount of stock purchases funded by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A ratio. At the same time, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value, and, in the case of highly capitalized institutions, high P/A ratios may limit the investment community’s willingness to pay market multiples for earnings or book value when ROE is expected to be low. |
The Company will adopt “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” (“ASC 718-40”), which will cause earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP shares. For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering, including all ESOP shares, to capture the full dilutive impact, particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive, receive dividends and can be voted. However, we did consider the impact of the adoption of ASC 718-40 in the valuation.

| IV.19 |
Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above and the dilutive impact of the stock contribution to the Foundation, RP Financial concluded that, as of May 5, 2025, the pro forma market value of Hoyne Bancorp’s conversion stock was $61,224,490 at the midpoint, equal to 6,122,449 shares at $10.00 per share.
1. Price-to-Earnings (“P/E”). The application of the P/E valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple to the pro forma earnings base. In applying this technique, we considered both reported earnings and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of the net proceeds. The Company’s reported earnings equaled a net loss of $281,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. In deriving Hoyne Bancorp’s core earnings, the only adjustment made to reported earnings was to eliminate gains on REO of $1.375 million. As shown below, on a tax effected basis, assuming an effective marginal tax rate of 28.5% for the earnings adjustment, the Company’s core earnings were determined to equal a net loss of $1.264 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025.
| Amount | ||||
| ($000) | ||||
| Net income (loss) | $ | (281 | ) | |
| Deduct: Gain on REO (1) | (983 | ) | ||
| Core earnings estimate | $ | (1,264 | ) | |
| (1) | Tax effected at 28.5%. |
The Company’s pro forma reported earnings were slightly positive, which resulted in very high P/E multiples (789.02x at the midpoint) and, therefore, were not viewed to be meaningful for comparative purposes to the Peer Group’s reported P/E multiples. The Company’s pro forma core earnings were negative throughout the valuation range, which rendered the core P/E multiples to be not meaningful (“NM”). Comparatively, the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples equaled 17.73 times and 18.77 times, respectively (see Table 4.3). The Peer Group’s median reported and core earnings multiples equaled 19.25 times and 19.59 times, respectively.

2. Price-to-Book (“P/B”). The application of the P/B valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/B ratio, as derived from the Peer Group’s P/B ratio, to the Company’s pro forma book value. Based on the $61.2 million midpoint valuation, the Company’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratio equaled 43.99% and 44.09%, respectively. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios for the Peer Group of 80.40% and 84.37%, the Company’s ratios reflected a discount of 45.29% on a P/B basis and a discount of 47.74% on a P/TB basis. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios of 81.13% and 81.59%, respectively, the Company’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratios at the midpoint value reflected discounts of 45.78% and 45.96%, respectively. At the top of the super maximum, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 51.89% and 51.98%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super maximum reflected discounts of 35.46% and 38.39%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super maximum reflected discounts of 36.04% and 36.29%, respectively. RP Financial considered the discounts under the P/B approach to be reasonable, given the nature of the calculation of the P/B ratio which mathematically results in a ratio discounted to book value. The discounts reflected under the P/B approach were also supported by the Company’s NM reported and core P/E multiples.
3. Price-to-Assets (“P/A”). The P/A valuation methodology determines market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to the Company’s pro forma asset base, conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases. In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein. At the $61.2 million midpoint of the valuation range, the Company’s value equaled 11.85% of pro forma assets. Comparatively, the Peer Group companies exhibited an average P/A ratio of 11.67%, which implies a premium of 1.71% has been applied to the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 10.64%, the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio at the midpoint value reflects a premium of 11.37%.
Comparison to Recent Offerings
As indicated at the beginning of this chapter, RP Financial’s analysis of recent conversion offering pricing characteristics at closing and in the aftermarket has been limited to a “technical” analysis and, thus, the pricing characteristics of recent conversion offerings cannot be a primary determinate of value. Particular focus was placed on the P/TB approach in this analysis, since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of the stock proceeds (i.e., external funds vs. deposit withdrawals). In comparison to the 47.70% average closing forma P/TB ratio of the five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 44.09% at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 7.57%. At the top of the super maximum, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 51.98% reflects an implied premium of 8.97% relative to the average closing pro forma P/TB ratio of the five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months.

Valuation Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of May 5, 2025, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued immediately following the conversion, including shares to be issued to the Foundation, equaled $61,224,490 at the midpoint, equal to 6,122,490 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to conversion guidelines, the 15% valuation range indicates a minimum value of $52,040,820 and a maximum value of $70,408,160. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price determined by the Board, this valuation range equates to total shares outstanding of 5,204,082 at the minimum and 7,040,816 at the maximum. In the event the appraised value is subject to an increase, the aggregate pro forma market value may be increased up to a super maximum value of $80,969,380 without a resolicitation. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the super maximum value would result in total shares outstanding of 8,096,938. Based on this valuation range, the offering range is as follows: $51,000,000 at the minimum, $60,000,000 at the midpoint, $69,000,000 at the maximum and $79,350,000 at the super maximum. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the number of offering shares is as follows: 5,100,000 at the minimum, 6,000,000 at the midpoint, 6,900,000 at the maximum and 7,935,000 at the super maximum. The pro forma valuation calculations relative to the Peer Group are shown in Table 4.3 and are detailed in Exhibit IV-7 and Exhibit IV-8.
