Dear Depositor:

 

We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of Rhinebeck Bank and the Board of Trustees of Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC unanimously approved a plan of reorganization and minority stock issuance, whereby Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc., the proposed holding company for Rhinebeck Bank, is offering shares of its common stock for sale in a minority stock offering. The majority of the shares of Rhinebeck Bancorp Inc. will be held by our mutual holding company, Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC. The additional capital raised in the offering will give us the financial strength to support our future growth and expansion, and enhance our ability to compete more effectively with other financial institutions operating in our market area. Upon completion of the reorganization, let me assure you that:

 

· existing deposit accounts and loans will remain exactly the same; and

· deposit accounts will continue to be federally insured up to the maximum legal limits.

 

To further our commitment to our local community, as part of the reorganization and offering, we intend to establish and fund, with shares of common stock and cash, a charitable foundation, Rhinebeck Bank Community Foundation. Giving back to our local communities is an important part of our corporate mission and the charitable foundation will further our goal of actively supporting the communities that we so proudly serve.

Questions & Answers About the Stock Offering

 

In accordance with the plan of reorganization and minority stock issuance unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Rhinebeck Bank and the Board of Trustees of Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC, Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. is offering shares of its common stock for sale in a minority stock offering. The majority of the shares of Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. will be held by our mutual holding company, Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC. The additional capital raised in the offering will give us the financial strength to support our future growth and expansion and enhance our ability to compete more effectively with other financial institutions operating in our market area.

 

We are offering the shares of common stock in a subscription offering, first to qualifying depositors of Rhinebeck Bank and Rhinebeck Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans. Shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a community offering, with a preference given to residents of the communities served by Rhinebeck Bank.

 

This brochure provides some summary information about the offering and how to purchase shares, and is qualified in its entirety by the prospectus delivered with it. Investing in common stock involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks and other factors that may affect your investment decision, investors are urged to read the accompanying prospectus before making an investment decision.

 

Q.Who can purchase stock in the subscription offering?
A.Only qualifying depositors of Rhinebeck Bank and Rhinebeck Bank’s employee stock benefit plan may purchase shares of stock in the subscription offering. The common stock is being offered in the subscription offering in the following order of priority:

 

1)Eligible Account Holders: Depositors with aggregate balances of $100 or more at the close of business on December 31, 2016.

 

2)Rhinebeck Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans.

 

3)Supplemental Eligible Account Holders: Depositors (other than directors, trustees and officers of Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC or Rhinebeck Bank) with aggregate balances of $100 or more at the close of business on September 30, 2018 and who are not otherwise eligible in category (1) above.

 

Q.I am not eligible to purchase stock in the subscription offering. May I still place an order to purchase shares?
A.Subject to the priority rights of qualifying depositors and the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan in the subscription offering, common stock may be offered to the general public in a community offering. Natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the New York counties of Columbia, Dutchess, Orange and Ulster will be given preference in the community offering. The community offering may begin concurrently with, or any time after, the commencement of the subscription offering.

 

7 

 

 

Q.Am I guaranteed to receive shares if I place an order?
A.No. It is possible that orders received during the offering period will exceed the number of shares being sold. Such an oversubscription would result in shares being allocated among subscribers according to the preferences and priorities set forth in the plan of reorganization and minority stock issuance and described in the prospectus. If the offering is oversubscribed in the subscription offering, no orders received in any community offering will be filled.

 

Q.How many shares of stock are being offered, and at what price?
A.Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. is offering a maximum of 4,415,179 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. Under certain circumstances, Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. may increase the maximum number of shares to up to 5,077,456 shares.

 

Q.How much stock can I purchase?
A.The minimum purchase is 25 shares ($250). As more fully described in the plan of reorganization and minority stock issuance and in the prospectus, the maximum purchase by any person in the subscription or community offering is 15,000 shares ($150,000). In addition, no person, together with their associates, or group of persons acting in concert, may purchase more than 25,000 shares ($250,000) of common stock in the offering.

 

Q.How do I order stock?
A.If you decide to subscribe for shares, you must return your properly completed and signed original stock order form, along with full payment for the shares, to Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. by the deadline noted on the stock order form. Please call the Stock Information Center if you need assistance completing the stock order form.

Checks and money orders must be made payable to Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. Withdrawals from a certificate of deposit at Rhinebeck Bank to buy shares of common stock may be made without penalty.

 

Q.Can I use my Rhinebeck Bank home equity line of credit to pay for shares of common stock?
A.No. Rhinebeck Bank cannot knowingly lend funds to anyone to subscribe for shares. This includes the use of funds available through a Rhinebeck Bank home equity or other line of credit.

 

8 

 

 

Q.Can I subscribe for shares using funds in my IRA at Rhinebeck Bank?
A.No. Federal regulations do not permit the purchase of common stock in your existing IRA or other qualified retirement plan at Rhinebeck Bank. To use these funds to subscribe for common stock, you need to transfer the funds to a “self-directed” IRA or other trust account at another unaffiliated financial institution that permits investment in equity securities within such account. The transfer of these funds takes time, so please make arrangements as soon as possible. However, if you intend to subscribe for common stock using your eligibility as an IRA account holder but plan to use funds from sources other than your IRA account, you need not transfer your IRA account. Please call our Stock Information Center if you require additional information.

 

Q.Can I subscribe for shares in the subscription offering and add someone else who is not on my account to my stock registration?
A.No. Applicable regulations prohibit the transfer of subscription rights.  Adding the names of other persons who are not owners of your qualifying account(s) will result in the loss of your subscription rights.

 

Q.Can I subscribe for shares in the subscription offering in my name alone if I have a joint account?
A.Yes, subject to the overall purchase limitations in the offering. Unless we determine otherwise, spouses, persons having the same address or persons exercising subscription rights through joint accounts or qualifying accounts registered to the same address will be presumed to be associates of, or acting in concert with, each other.

 

Q.I have custodial accounts at Rhinebeck Bank with my minor children. May I use these accounts to purchase stock in the subscription offering?
A.Yes. However, the stock must be registered in the custodian’s name for the benefit of the minor child under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. A custodial account does not entitle the custodian to purchase stock in his or her own name. If the child has reached the age of majority, the child must subscribe for the shares in his or her own name.

 

Q.I have a business or trust account at Rhinebeck Bank. May I use these accounts to purchase stock in the subscription offering?
A.Yes. However, the stock must be purchased in the name of the business or trust. A business or trust account does not entitle the owner of or signatory for the business or the trustee of the trust to purchase stock in his or her own name.

 

Q.Will payments for common stock earn interest until the stock offering closes?
A.Yes. Any payment made by check or money order will earn interest at 0.10% per annum from the date the order is processed to the completion or termination of the stock offering. Depositors who pay for their stock by withdrawal authorization will receive interest at the contractual rate on the account until the completion or termination of the offering.

Q.Will dividends be paid on the stock?
A.Following completion of the stock offering, our Board will have the authority to declare dividends on our shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our on our common stock.

Your ability to sell the shares of common stock prior to your receipt of the statement will depend on arrangements you may make with your brokerage firm.

 

Q.What is direct registration and DRS?
A.Direct registration is the ownership of stock registered in your own name on the books of Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. without taking possession of a printed stock certificate. Instead, your ownership is recorded and tracked as an accounting entry (referred to as “book entry”) on the books of Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc.
