Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are not historical facts and may include expressions about Management’s strategies and Management’s expectations about financial results, new and existing programs and products, investments, relationships, opportunities and market conditions. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may,” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: 1) our ability to successfully grow our business and implement our strategic plan, including our ability to generate revenues to offset the increased personnel and other costs related to the strategic plan; 2) the impact of anticipated higher operating expenses in 2022 and beyond; 3) our ability to successfully integrate wealth management firm acquisitions; 4) our ability to manage our growth; 5) our ability to successfully integrate our expanded employee base; 6) an unexpected decline in the economy, in particular in our New Jersey and New York market areas; 7) declines in our net interest margin caused by the interest rate environment (including the shape of the yield curve) and our highly competitive market; 8) declines in the value in our investment portfolio; 9) impact on our business from a pandemic event on our business, operations, customers, allowance for loan losses, and capital levels; 10) higher than expected increases in our allowance for loan and lease losses; 11) higher than expected increases in loan and lease losses or in the level of nonperforming loans; 12) changes in interest rates; 13) a decline in real estate values within our market areas; 14) legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III and related regulations) that may result in increased compliance costs; 15) changes in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve Board; 16) changes to tax or accounting matters; 17) successful cyberattacks against our IT infrastructure and that of our IT providers; 18) higher than expected FDIC insurance premiums; 19) adverse weather conditions; 20) our ability to successfully generate business in new geographic markets; 21) a reduction in our lower-cost funding sources; 22) our ability to adapt to technological changes; 23) claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility, environmental laws and other matters; 24) our ability to retain key employees; 25) demands for loans and deposits in our market areas; 26) adverse changes in securities markets and 27) other unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or earnings. Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: 1) demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; 2) if the economy worsens, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; 3) collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; 4) our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; 5) the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; 6) a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in the elimination or a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend; 7) our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil; 8) our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and 9) FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.   2
