On May 16, 2017, David Lehman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), sent the following email to all staff of the Company:

Dear Staff Members,

As you are aware we continue our efforts to stop the intrusion of the Stilwell Group and their demand of a representative on our community bank board. Recently our efforts were supported when two of the nation’s top independent proxy advisory services ISS & Glass Lewis both recommended support in favor of the company and our board nominees, Debra Marthey and Dan Buehler. As both ISS & Glass Lewis are independent they looked at the facts around the company’s performance, the qualifications of the bank’s nominee and the Stilwell nominee. Their conclusion is support for the company, our nominees and our position.

If you are a holder of Wayne Savings stock either in your personal account, the ESOP or 401K and have not voted please take the time today to cast your vote. Being a small bank with many investors who own small numbers of shares it is not an exaggeration to say that your vote can make a difference. If you have stock in multiple account you must vote in each account separately.

If you have misplaced or lost your proxy ballot please get in touch with any member of the management team and we will get copies of all the material to you. If you have voted and want to change or have not voted the last proxy signed and dated prior to May 25th is the one that counts.

Thank You for your continued support and effort on behalf of our customers! Please vote and help defend and protect our community bank.

David
