We are filing this Third Amendment to report that pursuant to an Agreement with the Issuer dated March 17, 2026 (the "Standstill Agreement"), Dennis Pollack, an individual selected by the Group, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Issuer. The Issuer has also agreed to nominate and support the election of Mr. Pollack to the Issuer's board of directors at the Issuer's upcoming 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2026 Annual Meeting"). Accordingly, we are withdrawing our nomination of Timothy J. Andruschat for election as a director at the 2026 Annual Meeting, as well as the stockholder proposal (the "Proposal"). On March 18, 2026, the Issuer filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Form 8-K"), announcing the terms of the Standstill Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10 to the Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. The terms of the Standstill Agreement are more fully summarized below in Item 6. On February 17, 2026, we served our notice of intent to nominate Timothy J. Andruschat for election as a director at the 2026 Annual Meeting and submitted the Proposal calling for no acquisition of any other financial institution by the Issuer until such time as the Issuer's common stock consistently trades above its book value. On March 17, 2026, we entered into the Standstill Agreement with the Issuer. Our aim is to maximize shareholder value at the Issuer. Our purpose in acquiring shares of Common Stock of the Issuer is to profit from the appreciation in the market price of the shares of Common Stock through asserting shareholder rights. We do not believe the value of the Issuer's assets is adequately reflected in the current market price of the Issuer's Common Stock. Subject to the Standstill Agreement, members of the Group may seek to make additional purchases or sales of shares of Common Stock. Except as described in this filing, no member of the Group has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Members of the Group may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Since 2000, members or affiliates of the Group have taken an 'activist position' in 78 other publicly-traded companies. In each instance, our purpose has been to profit from the appreciation in the market price of the shares we held by asserting shareholder rights. In addition, we believed that the values of the companies' assets were not adequately reflected in the market prices of their shares. Our actions with respect to such publicly-traded companies are described in Schedule A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The members of the Group beneficially own an aggregate of 773,675 shares of Common Stock. The percentages used in this filing are calculated based on 7,836,100 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 11, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2026. The purchases and sales of Common Stock reported in this item, if any, were made in open-market transactions. Each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, Stilwell Partners, Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell may be deemed to beneficially own 773,675 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, Stilwell Partners, Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell may be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose of 773,675 shares of Common Stock owned in the aggregate by Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners. Because he is the managing member and owner of Stilwell Value LLC, which is the general partner of each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners, Joseph Stilwell has the power to direct the affairs of each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners, including the voting and disposition of shares of Common Stock held in the name of each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners. Therefore, Joseph Stilwell is deemed to share voting and disposition power with each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners with regard to those shares of Common Stock. Because he is the managing member and owner of Stilwell Value LLC, Joseph Stilwell has the power to direct the affairs of Stilwell Value LLC. Stilwell Value LLC is the general partner of each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners. Therefore, Stilwell Value LLC may be deemed to share with Joseph Stilwell voting and disposition power with regard to the shares of Common Stock held by each of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Partners.

Since the filing of the Second Amendment, Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments and Stilwell Partners have not purchased or sold any shares of Common Stock. Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell have not purchased or sold any shares of Common Stock.

No person other than Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, Stilwell Partners, Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock.

Not applicable.
