November 13, 2023

To Our Shareholders,

Thank you for your continued interest in Summit State Bank. We generated net income of $1.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023, reflecting strong non- interest income resulting from increased gain on sale of loans. However, lower net interest income resulting from an increase in interest expense on deposits offset the aforementioned increase in non-interest income. We are encouraged that loan demand continues to hold up despite the higher rate environment and we continue to aggressively seek out core lending opportunities. Total deposits increased 19% compared to a year ago, and declined 2% during the quarter, with the growth occurring in interest bearing demand and money market accounts compared to the prior quarter end. While the net interest margin decrease was primarily related to pressure from the funding side of the balance sheet, we remain prudent with all new loan pricing. New customer relationships are fueling loan and deposit growth, and we expect that to continue as we grow the Bank organically.

In addition to reporting earnings, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share, payable November 16, 2023 to shareholders of record on October 24, 2023. The payment of this quarterly cash dividend highlights the commitment we have to our shareholders in providing consistent returns on your investment and building upon shareholder value.

During the third quarter, we were honored to rank 52nd on the San Francisco Business Times' 2023 Bay Area Corporate Philanthropists List which was published in a supplement in the San Francisco Business Times on July 28, 2023. The Corporate Philanthropy Awards list and supplement celebrates the Bay Area's most generous corporate citizens and recognizes those companies that also give their time, talent and resources. The annual list recognizes 100 top corporate philanthropists ranked by local cash giving. It includes for-profit companies and nonprofit health care organizations that made contributions to Bay Area based charitable organizations in the following counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma. The Bank's inclusion on this list helps raise the bar on corporate philanthropy and shows our support of our communities during all economic cycles.

Enclosed please find our latest Investor Fact Sheet that supplements our third quarter 2023 earnings results published last month. On behalf of the Board of Directors and our executive management team, we want to thank you for your support and continued investment in Summit State Bank.

Sincerely,

Brian Reed

President & CEO
