INSIGHT

Foresight Financial Group, Inc.

Dear Shareholders,

May 2024

Core first quarter 2024 results reported net income of $3.509 million, an increase of $1.558 million over the same period last year. Increased Q1 2024 net income versus the same period in 2023 was driven by reduced Provision Expense of $2.341 million. The company recorded a Return on Average Common Stockholder's Equity of 10.04% versus 6.44% for the same period last year, a 55.90% increase year over year which represents Earnings per Common Share of $1.00 versus $0.55. While we anticipate margin compression throughout the remainder of 2024 as the prospect of Fed interest rate easing becoming increasingly more remote, expected growth on both sides of the balances sheet will drive revenue growth in the coming quarters.

Overall core credit quality continues to remain strong with non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans at 1.35% versus 1.48% at year-end 2023. Our current credit quality monitoring processes enable us to quickly recognize and react to negative trends and thus mitigate potential deterioration. Past dues continue to remain historically low, and core earnings remain strong.

On April 15, 2024, Foresight Financial was thrilled to announce the addition of Jeffrey Hultman as President and Chief Banking Officer at Foresight Financial. Jeff will lead the overall revenue, sales, and service activities for Foresight Financial Group and its subsidiary bank's lines of business. The last thirteen years, Jeff has been with Illinois Bank and Trust serving most recently as CEO and holding prior roles of Market President and Head of Commercial Banking, Treasury Management and Private Banking. Joining Jeff are Kyle Logan as SVP Commercial Banking, Gina Caruana as SVP Consumer Banking, Sarilyn Neiber as SVP Commercial Banker, and Eric Magnuson as VP Commercial Banker, all from Illinois Bank and Trust. Along with our existing team of exceptional bankers, this additional talent will position Foresight Financial and its member banks as the market leader in each of the communities we serve. I will continue in my role serving as CEO of the company.

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable to shareholders of record on May 13, 2024, and payable May 17, 2024.

Respectfully,

Peter Q. Morrison

Chief Executive Officer
