    Combination will create the premier, publicly-traded West Coast bank

    Mechanics Bank and HomeStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ:HMST) ("HomeStreet"), the holding company of HomeStreet Bank, jointly announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") providing for an all-stock business combination between HomeStreet and Mechanics Bank. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, HomeStreet Bank will be merged with and into Mechanics Bank (the "Merger"), with Mechanics Bank surviving as a banking corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of California and as a wholly owned subsidiary of HomeStreet (the resulting holding company of Mechanics Bank following the Merger, the "combined company"). Existing shareholders of Mechanics Bank will receive common stock in HomeStreet in exchange for their Mechanics Bank shares. Upon completion of the Merger, HomeStreet will be renamed Mechanics Bancorp and remain a publicly traded company.

    Mechanics Bank is a 120-year-old full-service community bank based in Walnut Creek, California, with 112 branches throughout California and more than $16 billion in assets. Founded in 1921, HomeStreet operates 56 branches throughout Washington, Oregon, Southern California and Hawaii and has approximately $8 billion in assets. The transaction will expand Mechanics Bank's West Coast footprint and create a combined company with 168 branches and $23 billion in assets.

    The transaction values HomeStreet at a pre-transaction estimated equity value of $300 million and Mechanics Bank at a pre-transaction estimated equity value of $3.3 billion. Upon completion of the Merger, existing HomeStreet shareholders are expected to own approximately 8.3% of the combined company, and the remaining ownership of approximately 91.7% will be held by legacy Mechanics Bank shareholders, with Ford Financial Fund and its affiliates owning approximately 74.3% of the combined company.

    "This is a very significant milestone for Mechanics Bank and we are excited through this transaction to extend our market presence with a full West Coast footprint from San Diego to Seattle," said Carl B. Webb, Chairman of the board of directors of Mechanics Bank. "This strategic merger also provides us with the opportunity to become a publicly-traded bank holding company, which better positions Mechanics Bank for future opportunities."

    The board of directors of the combined company will consist of directors of Mechanics Bank and one director of HomeStreet, to be named at a later date. The officers of Mechanics Bank will be the officers of the combined company. Mark Mason, Chairman, President and CEO of HomeStreet, will remain with the combined company in a consulting capacity.

    Mr. Mason said, "This merger validates the intrinsic value of HomeStreet's loyal customer base, strong management and dynamic markets in which we operate and allows our shareholders to participate in the benefits of the combination going forward. The combined company will have a strong branch footprint and deposit market share in the best markets in the west, strong core deposit funding, a well-diversified, conservatively underwritten loan portfolio and a growing wealth management and trust business. We believe this merger will improve our customers' experiences and create new opportunities for many of our employees, enabling the company to retain and attract top talent. Both organizations share very similar banking strategies, strong credit cultures and a deep commitment to our customers, community service and being good corporate citizens."

    "This transaction is strategically and financially compelling for shareholders of both Mechanics Bank and HomeStreet," commented C.J. Johnson, CEO and President of Mechanics Bank. "We have completed a thorough due diligence process and look forward to welcoming HomeStreet's clients and employees to our company."

    The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and approval by HomeStreet's and Mechanics Bank's shareholders. Ford Financial Fund and its affiliates and certain other shareholders of Mechanics Bank have entered into support agreements agreeing, among other things, to vote their shares in favor of the Merger, which collectively represent the required vote of Mechanics Bank shareholders. The Merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

    When used in this press release and in other documents filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in press releases or other public shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "trend," "objective," "continue," or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "might," "may" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank (the "Transaction"), including future financial and operating results, and the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and other statements that are not historical facts.

    These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, estimates, and other important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. In addition to factors previously disclosed in HomeStreet's reports filed with the SEC, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: a) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or all of the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement; b) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet or HomeStreet Bank; c) the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder, or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Transaction); d) the risk that the benefits from the Transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank operate; e) changes in asset quality and credit risk; f) the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; g) customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; h) customer disintermediation; i) the ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank; j) the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; k) reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Mechanics Bank's, HomeStreet's or HomeStreet Bank's customers, employees or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; l) the dilution caused by HomeStreet's issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the Transaction; m) and the diversion of management's attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities on Transaction-related matters.

    These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause Mechanics Bank's, HomeStreet's, HomeStreet Bank's or the combined company's actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements. Other factors, including unknown or unpredictable factors, also could significantly harm Mechanics Bank's, HomeStreet's, HomeStreet Bank's or the combined company's results.

    Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank do not undertake or assume any obligation to update any of these statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet or HomeStreet Bank update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that Mechanics Bank, HomeStreet or HomeStreet Bank will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. Further information regarding HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank, and factors which could affect the forward-looking statements contained herein can be found in HomeStreet's filings with the SEC.
