Summary of recent events

July 2004:

Seidman group files 13-D announcing ownership position over 5%

Feb 2005:

YNB and Seidman enter into a consulting agreement

Consulting agreement meant to allow Seidman access to management without creating the
highly detrimental impression that YNB is “in play”

Feb 2005 – Jan 2006

Seidman meets and speaks on numerous occasions with YNB’s management team and
select members of the Board of Directors

YNB reviews each of Seidman’s thoughts and recommendations

In the end, Seidman’s ideas relate to short-term gains – inconsistent with Board’s longer-
term plan for footprint expansion and value creation

May 2005 – July 2005

Seidman formally requests to be added to the YNB Board of Directors

YNB nominating committee reviews Seidman’s application and Board chooses not to
support his nomination

Seidman track record supported this decision: no record of long-term value creation, has
only pushed to force sales, operating performance deteriorates at companies where
Seidman gets involved

March 2006

Dennis Pollack, member of Seidman’s group, nominates himself and two others for the
Board in opposition to the three existing Board members proposed by YNB

YNB Board supports incumbents and strategic plan for increasing value

28

The dissidents’ agenda may negatively
impact shareholder value

Seidman group has no track record for creating long-
term value

No new ideas for improving operations

Seidman group has never created value, has only liquidated it

A forced sale, without regard to market timing, not expected to
produce as great a level of shareholder value as the continued
execution of the strategic plan

Election of Seidman slate could interrupt strategic plan
and diminish value

Uncertainty can cause customer defection and make new
customer acquisition difficult

Could impede efforts to attract and retain key talent

29

Strong Corporate Governance Profile

Board comprised of a majority of independent outside directors (9/13)

Board has a Nominating and Governance Committee to oversee the corporate
governance of the company

Nominating and Governance, Compensation, and Audit committees are
composed solely of independent, outside directors

Position of Chairman and CEO are separate

All directors attended over 75% of meetings in 2005

No Board member serves on more than two other public companies

Board has relevant mix of talents: community involvement, business acumen,
financial knowledge, real estate lending

Code of Ethics and Business Code of Conduct in place for several years

30

Strong Corporate Governance Profile (cont’d)

Company does not have a poison pill

ISS deemed shareholder value transfer of 2005 Equity Incentive Plan to be
reasonable

Average options granted in the past three years less than 1% of total shares
outstanding

Options have never been re-priced

All current equity incentive plans have been approved by shareholders

All directors own stock (11.4% of total)

CEO Patrick M. Ryan owns 2.2%

President and COO F. Kevin Tylus owns 1.4%

Strong Corporate Governance Quotient: outperformed 61% of Russell 3000
companies and 71% of bank peer group
