Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements about Camden’s beliefs, plans, strategies, predictions, forecasts, objectives, intentions, assumptions or expectations are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction, revenues, earnings, loan production, asset quality, and capital levels, among other matters; Camden’s estimates of future costs and benefits of the actions it may take; Camden’s assessments of probable losses on loans; Camden’s assessments of interest rate and other market risks; Camden’s ability to achieve its financial and other strategic goals; the expected timing of completion of the proposed transaction; the expected cost savings, synergies and other anticipated benefits from the proposed transaction; and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predict,” “potential,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” “will,” and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Camden and Northway. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the management of Camden and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties outside of the control of the parties. Caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: the reaction to the transaction of the companies’ customers, employees and counterparties; customer disintermediation; inflation; expected synergies, cost savings and other financial benefits of the proposed transaction might not be realized within the expected timeframes or might be less than projected; the requisite stockholder and regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction might not be obtained; credit and interest rate risks associated with Camden’s and Northway’s respective businesses, customers, borrowings, repayment, investment, and deposit practices; general economic conditions, either nationally or in the market areas in which Camden and Northway operate or anticipate doing business, are less favorable than expected; new regulatory or legal requirements or obligations; and other risks. Certain risks and important factors that could affect Camden’s future results are identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including among other things under the heading “Risk Factors” in such Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of such reports describe additional factors that could affect Camden’s business and financial performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Camden undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. Non‐GAAP Financial Measures This presentation references historical and forward-looking non‐GAAP financial measures, including tangible common equity and related measures, as well as core deposits, efficiency ratio and projected cash net income, which excludes the impact of certain items. These measures are commonly used by investors in evaluating business combinations and financial condition. Reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of items affecting comparability and the periods in which such items may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. 2 2 2 2
