The aggregate purchase price of the 360,637 Shares beneficially owned by Partnership is approximately $ 7,373,270, excluding brokerage commissions.

The Shares purchased by Dr. Driscoll were purchased with personal funds in open market purchases. The aggregate purchase price of the 3,200 Shares beneficially owned by Dr. Driscoll is approximately $68,991, excluding brokerage commissions.

The Shares purchased by Ms. Narrell-Mead were purchased with personal funds in open market purchases, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On November 19, 2019, Driver Management Company LLC (together with its affiliates, “Driver”) issued a press release and letter to shareholders (together, the “Announcement”) announcing that it will nominate a slate of highly-qualified, independent director candidates—Michael Driscoll, Ed.D., Lisa Narrell-Mead and Ethan Elzen (collectively, the “Nominees”), for election to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

 

In the Announcement, Driver stated its belief that urgent change is needed to address Driver’s concerns regarding the Issuer’s stale Board composition, problematic corporate governance practices and opposition to a sale process that could maximize shareholder value. Driver stated that, in its view, the Board appears to be misaligned with shareholders, as evidenced by the Board’s long history presiding over questionable corporate governance practices, numerous strategic missteps and a persistent discount to peer valuations. In addition, Driver expressed its view that current directors appear to lack sufficient banking sector experience, modern public company perspectives, meaningful stockholdings and the ability to initiate a credible review of strategic alternatives. Driver further highlighted its views regarding the numerous shortcomings of the Board, including:

9

 

·Inadequate Bank Sector Experience;
·Poor Alignment With Shareholders;
·No Meaningful M&A Expertise;
·Long Tenure and Questionable Independence; and
·Anti-Shareholder Corporate Governance.

 

Driver further stated that, despite spending the past several months seeking a productive dialogue with the Board about the value that can potentially be unlocked via a sale, the Issuer’s Chairman and CEO did not effectively address Driver’s concerns. As a result, Driver believes it is left with no choice but to pursue the nomination and election of three new director candidates, none of whom it has a prior or current financial relationship with, and all of whom have relevant, demonstrated professional experience:

Michael Driscoll, Ed.D., has been the Dean of the Richard J. Bolte, Sr. School of Business, Mount St. Mary’s University, since July 2018. He was previously Clinical Professor and Senior Executive in Residence at the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business at Adelphi University from 2010 to July 2018. Prior to working in higher education, Dr. Driscoll was a founding member and Head of Trading of Geosphere Capital LLC, a hedge fund focusing on global natural resources and industrials, from 2007 to 2010. He also served as a Senior Managing Director at Bear, Sterns & Co. from 2002 to 2007, Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette from 1998 to 2002, Hambrecht & Quist from 1997 to 1998, and Smith Barney from 1987 to 1997. He holds a Doctorate in Education from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Business Administration from Adelphi University and a Bachelor of Science from the State University of New York Maritime College. Dr. Driscoll was also awarded a Fulbright Specialist scholarship, which he completed at The National University of Ireland, Galway. In addition to his business activities, Dr. Driscoll serves on the Department of Medicine Advisory Board for Northwell Health System.

 

Lisa Narrell-Mead has been the Chief Executive Officer of Workplace Advisors LLC, a provider of strategic advice and execution resources for regional and community banks, since 2013 and has overseen Workplace Advisors’ 2019 acquisition of Everett Advisory Partners, a financial services advisory firm. Ms. Narrell-Mead was previously the Executive Vice President of Cadence Bank, N.A. from 2011 to 2013, where she served on the Executive Committee for the bank and had direct responsibility for the formation of the Human Resources and Corporate Services/Administrative units of the bank. She is a former executive of Regions Financial Corporation, a Regional Bank from 2006 to 2011, and AmSouth Bank from 1998 to 2006 (when AmSouth merged with Regions). Prior to joining AmSouth Bank, Ms. Narrell-Mead was a partner at the law firm of Constangy Brooks & Smith from 1993 to 1998 specializing in workplace and employment law. Ms. Narrell-Mead has served on the Boards of Directors of INBank (formerly International Bank), a community bank serving Metro Denver, Southern Colorado and Norther New Mexico, from June 2018 to present, Argent Trust Company, a Trust Company, from 2016 to present, and Verdigris Holdings, a holding company creating a banking solution to bank the unbanked, since June 2019. Ms. Narrell-Mead served on the Board of Directors of River Road Financial Corporation, a holding company seeking to raise capital to acquire and expand a bank, from 2018 to May 2019. She holds a Juris Doctorate from Emory University, School of Law where she graduated with Distinction and a Bachelor of Science from Birmingham-Southern College.

 

Ethan Elzen has served as the President of Colorado Federal Savings Bank since June 2014 and was previously its Chief Financial Officer from 2013 to May 2014. Mr. Elzen has also served as a senior advisor to Provident Funding Associates, L.P.

Prior to that, Mr. Elzen was a senior investment banker at UBS Investment Bank, originating and executing transactions for financial institutions, from 2010 to 2013. Earlier in his career, Mr. Elzen was a member of the restructuring team at Ally Financial from 2009 to 2010, where he focused on cost cutting and strategic alternatives for Residential Capital LLC, the mortgage division of the GMAC Mortgage Corporation. Mr. Elzen began his career at Bank of America, where he gained extensive experience in investment banking, treasury and balance sheet management and merger integration. Mr. Elzen holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Finance & Banking) from Appalachian State University. He is also on the Board of Directors of the Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, and he co-founded Coastal Springs Distilling, a California craft gin distiller.
