Purpose of Transaction

On October 8, 2014, Ancora Advisors, LLC delivered a letter to the Company’s Chairman & CEO Patrick Sheaffer which detailed Ancora Advisors, LLC’s position on both the Company’s strategic direction and maximizing shareholder value. This letter was in response to previous conversations Ancora Advisors, LLC had engaged in with Mr. Sheaffer. Among other details, the letter stated Ancora Advisors, LLC’s belief that Riverview Bancorp, Inc. would best maximize shareholder value by actively pursuing the sale of the Company. Ancora Advisors, LLC believes a larger strategic partner with a higher-valued currency could accretively acquire Riverview Bancorp, Inc. at a substantial premium to the current valuation and could provide meaningful dividend income to current Riverview shareholders in a stock deal. Additionally, the letter outlined Ancora Advisors, LLC’s views that there would be numerous suitors for the Company given its strong deposit base and attractive core markets, and that Ancora Advisors, LLC would welcome the opportunity to meet in person with Mr. Sheaffer and the Board of Directors to discuss Ancora Advisors, LLC’s position in greater detail with the goal of achieving the best possible outcome for shareholders.

Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and capital allocation policies, the price level of the shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Ancora Advisors, LLC, in the future, may take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and Ancora Advisors, LLC’s investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to capitalization, ownership structure, board structure or operations of the Issuer, and seeking board representation.
