INSIGHT

Foresight Financial Group, Inc.

Dear Shareholders,

August 2022

Our Company's reported earnings for both the first and second quarter of 2022 has surpassed the budget target and significantly exceeded our expectations. The net interest margin has continued to expand and is a major reason for our financial success. Another contributor is the loan growth we have experienced thus far this year. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, reported net income was just over $6.9 million, the best financial start for our company in its history.

Our credit quality is strong as we close the first half of the year. The pipeline for new loans going forward will continue to help our future earnings as we replace lower yielding investment securities with higher yielding loans.

On July 20, 2022, we issued a press release announcing a stock purchase agreement between Foresight Financial Group and Greg Kidd, an entrepreneur focused on FinTech innovation in the payment systems area, for the sale of the State Bank of Herscher. This opportunity was brought to us by Mr. Kidd after significant research on his part indicated the State Bank of Herscher would be an ideal fit for his mission. The Foresight Board was delighted with the offer from Mr. Kidd which included an attractive premium to book value that allows our company to enhance our organization as a result of the sale. The transaction is expected to close by year end 2022 or shortly thereafter. No other bank within the Foresight group is involved in the transaction.

We continue to strive for attainment of our "Big Goal" to grow the company and obtain financial performance in the upper twenty-five percent of our banking peer group. The F2, Future Forward initiative continues to be a focus for all employees concentrated on realizing expense efficiencies and revenue enhancements aiding in achievement of the Big Goal.

The Board of Directors of Foresight declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share reflecting an increase of over 45% from the prior quarter. Our earnings are stronger than ever, and Foresight's capital position remains solid as does our commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

Thank you for your support. Respectfully,

Rex K. Entsminger
