STOCK ORDER FORM – SIDE 2 (8) ASSOCIATES/ACTING IN CONCERT (continued from front of Stock Order Form) Associate The term “associate” of a person means: (1) any corporation or organization (other than Ponce Bank, PDL Community Bancorp, Ponce Bank M.H.C. Mortgage World Bankers, Inc. or a majority-owned subsidiary of any of those entities) of which the person is a senior officer, partner or, directly or indirectly, 10% beneficial stockholder; (2) any trust or other estate in which the person has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; provided, however, it does not include any employee stock benefit plan in which the person has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (3) any blood or marriage relative of the person, who either has the same home as the person or who is a director of officer of Ponce Bank Mutual Holding Company, PDL Community Bancorp, Ponce Bank, or Mortgage World Bankers., Inc. or Ponce Financial Group, Inc. Acting in concert – The term “acting in concert” means: (1) knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement; or (2) a combination or pooling of voting or other interests in the securities of an issuer for a common purpose pursuant to any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement, whether written or otherwise. A person or company that acts in concert with another person or company (“other party”) will also be deemed to be acting in concert with any person or company who is also acting in concert with that other party, except that any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan will not be deemed to be acting in concert with its trustee or a person who serves in a similar capacity solely for the purpose of determining whether stock held by the trustee and common stock held by the employee stock benefit plan will be aggregated. We have the sole discretion to determine whether prospective purchasers are “associates” or “acting in concert.” We may presume that certain persons are acting in concert based upon, among other things, joint account relationships or the fact that persons shares a common address (whether or not related by blood or marriage) or may have filed joint Schedules 13D or 13G with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to PDL Community Bancorp or other companies. Our directors are not treated as associates of each other solely because of their membership on the board of directors. Please see the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Offering – Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases” for more information on purchase limitations. (10) ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SIGNATURE(S) (continued from front of Stock Order Form) I agree that, after receipt by Ponce Financial Group, Inc. this Stock Order Form may not be modified or canceled without Ponce Financial Group, Inc.’s consent, and that if withdrawal from a deposit account has been authorized, the authorized amount will not otherwise be available for withdrawal. Under penalty of perjury, I certify that (1) the Social Security or Tax ID information and all other information provided hereon are true, correct and complete, (2) I am purchasing shares solely for my own account and that there is no agreement or understanding regarding the sale or transfer of such shares, or my right to subscribe for shares, and (3) I am not subject to backup withholding tax [cross out (3) if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding]. I acknowledge that my order does not conflict with the overall purchase limitation of $500,000 in all categories of the offering combined, for any person or entity, together with associates or persons acting in concert with such person or entity, as set forth in the plan of conversion and reorganization, and the Prospectus dated [   ]. Subscription rights pertain to those eligible to subscribe in the Subscription Offering. Subscription rights are only exercisable by completing and submitting a Stock Order Form, with full payment for the shares subscribed for. Federal regulations prohibit any person from transferring or entering into any agreement directly or indirectly to transfer the legal or beneficial ownership of subscription rights, or the underlying securities, to the account of another. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS AND ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. If anyone asserts that the shares of common stock are federally insured or guaranteed, or are as safe as an insured deposit, I should call the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at (202) 452-3000. I further certify that, before subscribing for shares of the common stock of Ponce Financial Group, I received the Prospectus dated [November], and I have read the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus, including disclosure concerning the nature of the security being offered and the risks involved in the investment, described by Ponce Financial Group, Inc. in the “Risk Factors” section, beginning on page [  ]. Risks include, but are not limited to the following: Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. 1. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively affected the global economy, United States economy, our local economy and our markets and has disrupted our operations, which has impacted our business, financial condition and results of operations. Risks Related to our Lending Activities. 2. We have increased our multifamily, nonresidential and construction and land loans, and intend to continue to increase originations of these types of loans. These loans may carry greater credit risk than loans secured by one-to-four family real estate that could adversely affect our financial condition and net income. 3. The unseasoned nature of our multifamily, nonresidential and construction and land loans portfolio may result in changes to our estimates of collectability, which may lead to additional provisions or charge-offs, which could hurt our profits. 4. Our business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property. 5. Loans that we make through our FinTech partnerships may expose us to increased lending risk. 6. If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings and capital could decrease. 7. A worsening of economic conditions in our market area could reduce demand for our products and services and/or result in increases in our level of nonperforming loans, which could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and earnings. 8. We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities or properties we own. 9. Loans originated under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program subject us to credit, forgiveness and guarantee risk. Risks Related to our Business Strategy. 10. Our business strategy includes growth, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively. Growing our operations could also cause our expenses to increase faster than our revenues. 11. We may incur losses due to minority investments in other financial technology related companies. 12. New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks. 13. Our efficiency ratio is high, and we anticipate that it may remain high, as a result of the ongoing implementation of our business strategy. 14. Possible investment in our preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury. Risks Related to Competitive Matters 15. Strong competition within our market areas may limit our growth and profitability. 16. Our small size makes it more difficult for us to compete. Risks Related to Our Management. 17. We depend on our management team to implement our business strategy and execute successful operations and we could be harmed by the loss of their services. 18. Adherence to our internal policies and procedures by management is critical to our performance and how we are perceived by our regulators. Risks Related to Interest Rates. 19. The historically low interest rate environment and the possibility that we may access higher-cost funds to support our loan growth and operations may adversely affect our net interest income and profitability. 20. Future changes in interest rates could reduce our profits and asset values. 21. Changes in the valuation of securities held could adversely affect us. Risks Related to Laws and Regulations. 22. Changes in laws and regulations and the cost of regulatory compliance with new laws and regulations may adversely affect our operations and/or increase our costs of operations. 23. Our New York State multi-family loan portfolio could be adversely impacted by changes in legislation or regulation. 24. Non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions. 25. Our ability to originate loans could be restricted by recently adopted federal regulations. 26. We are subject to stringent capital requirements, which may adversely impact our return on equity, require us to raise additional capital, or limit our ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares. 27. The Federal Reserve Board may require us to commit capital resources to support Ponce Bank. 28. Monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 29. We are an emerging growth company, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors. Risk Related to our Operations. 30. We face significant operational risks because the financial services business involves a high volume of transactions and increased reliance on technology, including risk of loss related to cyber security breaches. 31. The cost of finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls in order to satisfy our public company reporting requirements increases our expenses. Risks Related to Accounting Matters 32. Changes in accounting standards could affect reported earnings. 33. Changes in management’s estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and our financial condition or operating results. Other Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Generally 34. Ineffective liquidity management could adversely affect our financial results and condition. 35. Legal and regulatory proceedings and related matters could adversely affect us. 36. We are a community bank and our ability to maintain our reputation is critical to the success of our business and the failure to do so may materially adversely affect our performance. 37. Our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan has increased our expenses and reduced our income, and may dilute your ownership interests. 38. Societal responses to climate change could adversely affect our business and performance, including indirectly through impacts on our customers. 39. Our historical markets, minority and immigrant individuals, may be threatened by gentrification and adverse political developments, which could decrease our growth and profitability. Risks Related to the Offering 40. The future price of the shares of common stock may be less than the $10.00 purchase price per share in the offering. 41. There may be a limited trading market in our shares of common stock, which would hinder your ability to sell our common stock and may lower the market price of our common stock. 42. Our failure to effectively deploy the net proceeds may have an adverse effect on our financial performance. 43. Our return on equity will be low following the offering. This could negatively affect the trading price of our shares of common stock. 44. The contribution to the Foundation will dilute your ownership interest and adversely affect net income in 2021. 45. Our contribution to the Foundation may not be tax deductible, which could reduce our profits. 46. Our stock-based benefit plans will increase our expenses and reduce our income. 47. The implementation of stock-based benefit plans may dilute your ownership interest. Historically, stockholders have approved these stock-based benefit plans. 48. Various factors, including our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and Maryland and federal law, will make takeover attempts more difficult to achieve. 49. You may not revoke your decision to purchase Ponce Financial common stock in the subscription or community offerings after you send us your order. 50. The distribution of subscription rights could have adverse income tax consequences. 51. Our bylaws provide that, subject to limited exceptions, state and federal courts in the State of Maryland are the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, and other employees. ¬ See Front of Stock Order Form
