Questions and Answers About Our Conversion and Stock Offering [HC Logo To Come]

GRAPHIC

GENERAL — THE CONVERSION AND STOCK OFFERING Our board of directors has determined that the conversion and stock offering is in the best interests of our organization, our customers and the communities we serve. Q. What is the conversion and stock offering? A. Under our plan of conversion and reorganization (the “plan of conversion”), our organization will convert from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization. Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. will offer shares of its common stock for sale to our eligible depositors, certain borrowers and, if necessary, members of the general public. Upon completion of the conversion and stock offering, Cambray Mutual Holding Company and Gouverneur Bancorp will cease to exist and Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. will become the holding company of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association. Q. What are the reasons for the conversion and stock offering? A. Our primary reasons for converting to the fully public stock form of ownership and undertaking the stock offering are to: (i) support our planned growth and strengthen our regulatory capital position with the additional capital we will raise in the stock offering; (ii) transition our organization to a stock holding company structure, which gives us greater flexibility to access the capital markets compared to our existing mutual holding company structure; and (iii) improve the liquidity of our shares of common stock. Q. Is Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes? A. Yes. As of June 30, 2023, Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association was considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes. Q. Will customers notice any change in Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association’s day- to-day activities as a result of the conversion and offering? A. No. It will be business as usual. The conversion is an internal change in our corporate structure. There will be no change to our board of directors, management, and staff as a result of the conversion and stock offering. Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association will continue to operate as an independent bank. Q. Will the conversion and stock offering affect customers’ deposit accounts or loans? A. No. The conversion and stock offering will not affect the balance or terms of deposits or loans, and deposits will continue to be federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum legal limits, without interruption. Deposit accounts will not be converted to stock. Depositors and borrowers will no longer have voting rights in Cambray Mutual Holding Company as to matters currently requiring such vote. Cambray Mutual Holding Company will cease to exist after the conversion and stock offering. Only stockholders of Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. will have voting rights after the conversion and stock offering. THE PROXY VOTE Although we have received conditional regulatory approval, the plan of conversion is also subject to approval by Gouverneur Bancorp’s stockholders and the members (i.e. depositors and certain borrowers of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association) of Cambray Mutual Holding Company. Q. Why should I vote “For” the plan of conversion? A. Your vote “For” the plan of conversion is extremely important to us. Each eligible Cambray Mutual Holding Company member at the close of business on July 31, 2023 should have received a package containing a Proxy Card. These packages also include a Proxy Statement describing the plan of conversion which cannot be implemented without stockholder and member approval. If you have more than one eligible account, you may receive multiple packages. Please open each package and vote all the proxy cards that were sent to you. Our board of directors believes that converting to a fully public ownership structure will best support our future growth. Voting does not obligate you to purchase shares of common stock in the stock offering. Q. What happens if I don’t vote? A. Your vote is very important. Proxy Cards not voted will have the same effect as voting “Against” the plan of conversion. Without sufficient favorable votes, we cannot complete the plan of conversion and stock offering. Q. How do I vote? A. You may vote by Internet or telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card. Internet and telephone voting is available 24 hours a day, and your vote will be recorded immediately. Alternatively, you may mark your vote, sign, date and mail the proxy card(s) in the Proxy Reply Envelope provided. Regardless of how you choose to cast your vote, please vote today. Not voting has the same effect as voting “Against” the plan of conversion. Q. How many votes are available to me? A. Depositors of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association (as well as each depositor of the former Citizens Bank of Cape Vincent) at the close of business on July 31, 2023 and who continue to be depositors at the date of the Special Meeting of Members are entitled to one vote for each $100 or fraction thereof on deposit. Also, each borrower of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association as of March 23, 1999 whose borrowings remained outstanding at the close of business on July 31, 2023 and who continue to have this loan outstanding at the date of the Special Meeting of Members, is entitled to one vote, in addition to votes he or she is entitled to as a depositor. However, no customer may cast more than 1,000 votes. Proxy Cards are not imprinted with your number of votes; however, votes will be automatically tallied by computer. Q. Why did I receive more than one Proxy Card? A. If you had more than one deposit and/or applicable loan account at Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association at the close of business on July 31, 2023, you may have received more than one Proxy Card, depending on the ownership structure of your account(s). Open all packages that you receive. There are no duplicate cards — please promptly vote all the Proxy Cards sent to you. Q. More than one name appears on my Proxy Card. Who must sign? A. The name(s) reflect the title of your account. Proxy Cards for joint accounts require the signature of only one of the account holders. Proxy Cards for trust or custodian accounts must be signed by the trustee or the custodian, not the named beneficiary. This brochure answers questions about the conversion and stock offering. Investing in shares of common stock involves certain risks. Before making an investment decision, please read the enclosed Prospectus carefully, including the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section. Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. is offering shares of its common stock for sale on a best efforts basis in connection with the conversion of Cambray Mutual Holding Company from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization.

THE STOCK OFFERING AND PURCHASING SHARES Q. How many shares are being offered for sale and at what price? A. Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. is offering for sale between 722,500 and 977,500 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share. No sales commission will be charged for purchasing shares in the stock offering. Q. Who is eligible to purchase stock in the stock offering? A. Pursuant to our plan of conversion, non-transferable rights to subscribe for shares of Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. common stock in the Subscription Offering have been granted in the following descending order of priority to: Priority #1 — Depositors of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association (as well as each depositor of the former Citizens Bank of Cape Vincent) with aggregate balances of at least $50 at the close of business on September 30, 2021; Priority #2 — Our tax-qualified employee benefit plans; Priority #3 — Depositors of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association with aggregate balances of at least $50 at the close of business on June 30, 2023; and Priority #4 — Depositors of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association at the close of business on July 31, 2023, and to borrowers of Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association as of March 23, 1999, whose borrowings remained outstanding at the close of business on July 31, 2023. Shares not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale to the public in a Community Offering, with a preference given first to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the New York counties of Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence and then to Gouverneur Bancorp’s public stockholders at the close of business on July 31, 2023. Shares not sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings may be offered for sale to the general public in a Syndicated Community Offering. Q. I am eligible to subscribe for shares of common stock in the Subscription Offering but am not interested in investing. May I allow someone else to use my Stock Order Form to take advantage of my priority as an eligible account holder? A. No. Subscription rights are non-transferable! Only those eligible to subscribe in the Subscription Offering, as listed above, may purchase shares in the Subscription Offering. To preserve subscription rights, the shares may only be registered in the name(s) of eligible account holder(s). On occasion, unscrupulous people attempt to persuade account holders to transfer subscription rights, or to purchase shares in the stock offering based on an understanding that the shares will be subsequently transferred to others. Participation in such schemes is against the law and may subject involved parties to prosecution. If you become aware of any such activities, please notify our Stock Information Center promptly so that we can take the necessary steps to protect our eligible account holders’ subscription rights in the stock offering. Q. How may I order shares in the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering? A. Shares can be ordered by completing an original Stock Order Form and returning it, with full payment, so that it is received (not postmarked) before the offering deadline. You may submit your Stock Order Form by paying for overnight delivery to the address listed on the Stock Order Form, by mail using the Stock Order Reply Envelope provided, or by hand-delivery to Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association’s main office, located at 42 Church Street, Gouverneur, New York. Hand-delivered stock order forms will be accepted only at this location. We will not accept stock order forms at any other office. Please do not mail Stock Order Forms to Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association’s offices. Q. What is the deadline for ordering shares? A. To order shares in the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering, you must deliver a properly completed, signed original Stock Order Form, with full payment, so that it is received (not postmarked) before 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on September 20, 2023. Acceptable methods for delivery of Stock Order Forms are described above. Q. How may I pay for the shares? A. Payment for shares can be remitted in two ways: (1) By personal check, bank check or money order, made payable directly to Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. These will be deposited upon receipt. We cannot accept wires or third party checks. Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association line of credit checks may not be remitted for payment. Please do not mail cash! (2) By authorized withdrawal of funds from your Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association deposit account(s). The Stock Order Form section titled “Method of Payment — Deposit Account Withdrawal” allows you to list the account number(s) and amount(s) to be withdrawn. Funds designated for direct withdrawal must be in the account(s) at the time the Stock Order Form is received. You may not authorize direct withdrawal from accounts with check-writing privileges. Please submit a check instead. If you request direct withdrawal from such accounts, we reserve the right to interpret that as your authorization to treat those funds as if we had received a check for the designated amount, and we will immediately withdraw the amount from your checking account(s). Also, IRA or other retirement accounts held at Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association may not be listed for direct withdrawal. See information on retirement accounts below. Q. Will I earn interest on my funds? A. Yes. If you pay by personal check, bank check or money order, you will earn interest at ____% per annum, from the date payment is processed until the completion of the conversion and stock offering. At that time, you will be issued a check for interest earned on these funds. If you pay for shares by authorizing a direct withdrawal from your Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association deposit account(s), your funds will continue to earn interest within the account, at the contractual rate. The interest will remain in your account(s) when the designated withdrawal is made, upon completion of the conversion and stock offering. Q. Are there limits to how many shares I can order? A. Yes. The minimum order is 25 shares ($250). The maximum number of shares that may be purchased by an individual or individuals acting through a single qualifying account held jointly is 5.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering (36,125 and 48,875 shares at the minimum and maximum of the offering range, respectively). Additionally, no person or entity, together with associates or persons acting in concert with such person or entity, may purchase more than 5.0% of the shares of common stock sold in all categories of the offerings combined. More detail on purchase limits, including the definition of “associate” and “acting in concert,” can be found in the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Stock Offering — Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.”
