 Investment Highlights 4 www.middlefieldbank.bank The largest independent community bank in its core northeast Ohio markets. The franchise serves two of Ohio's most attractive banking markets. Recently granted the Bank Preferred Lender status under the SBA's Preferred Lender Program. Well diversified loan portfolio across geography and collateral type, with no specific concentrations. M&A activity in the Cleveland and Columbus markets in recent years has limited the field of community bank competitors and created opportunities for the Company to take share from regional institutions and pick up free- agent talent. Cleveland and Columbus have seen virtually all similarly sized peers consolidated away. Going forward, the Company believes that it is optimally positioned between rural and metropolitan, and has the team and infrastructure in place to support profitable growth, organically or by acquisition, in the coming years.
