Merger Integration Update No. 6

 Monday, February 1, 2021 | Internal & Confidential

Brian E. Argrett & Wayne Bradshaw

Dear Colleagues:

The Integration Team at City First and Broadway continues to work toward our planned merger, with recent approvals from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and plans for each company to hold stockholder meetings in March for consideration and approval of the merger and related proposals..

A key element of the merger is the creation of a new organizational structure for our combined institution. At this time, we are also pleased to announce our combined executive management team members, which will include the following executives balanced across our geographies, that upon closing will report directly to Brian Argrett as President and Chief Executive Officer:

• Sandy Bellefeuille, EVP, Head of Wholesale Lending

• Sonja Wells, EVP, Head of Commercial Lending

• Tom Nida, EVP/Market Executive, Market Development

• Ruth McCloud, EVP, Chief Operating Officer

• Brenda Battey, EVP, Chief Financial Officer

• Shannan Herbert, EVP, Chief Credit Officer

Each of these executives has been developing plans for their respective departments, working with other members of the Integration Team, and will be making further recommendations for their structure and staffing, all of which will be announced later this month.

Discussions and Decisions at Steerco Meeting #6

A number of decisions were made at the Steering Committee on January 26, after receiving recommendations from the leaders of the functional workstreams:

• Proposed Board and Management Committees were approved, along with recommendations for their respective members. Each of the committees will update their respective charters, to be submitted for Board review and approval.

• Based on executive interviews, staff focus groups, and working sessions with the CEO, eight proposed cultural practices were prioritized to define the critical core values of our merged organization. They include our shared vision and strategic clarity to provide clear, consistent direction in an open and trusting environment, along with role clarity and personal ownership to build individual empowerment and accountability from Day One. Additional follow-on sessions are scheduled this week to further determine how to best support and bring these values to life at our newly combined institution.

• Recommendations on targeted loan portfolio composition were approved, with a focus on real estate loans with the greatest growth potential in the DMV and SOCAL markets.

• A funding aggregation strategy was approved to seize near term opportunities for mission aligned funding, to include strategic deposits, grants and awards, equity and retained earnings, as well as strategic use of FHLB advances.

• The final IT platform integration plan was approved, to be implemented in stages through 2021

As noted in previous updates, all decisions will be implemented in steps throughout the first year of merged operations and we will keep you informed along the way. We continue working toward several major milestones, starting with “Day 1” -- the legal close of our planned merger. Feel free to speak with your managers at any time if you have questions; you can also reach out to Ruth or Cynthia, your Integration Team Leaders, for information about the merger. As we approach Day 1, we will provide broader communications to our external stakeholders, to keep them informed about the merger and how it affects them. You will be equipped with information to help reinforce the benefits that will positively affect their experience with us.
