Re:            Notice of Intent to Nominate Directors

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter constitutes a notice of intent by Mike I. Shafir (the “Stockholder”) to nominate two persons for election as directors of Coastway Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”).  Enclosed, the Stockholder submits his nominees for election at the Annual Meeting.  This notice is being provided to you pursuant to Section 6 of Article I of the Company’s Bylaws, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2013 (the “Bylaws”).
 
The Stockholder’s name and address as they appear on the Company’s books and records are Mike I. Shafir at 1807 Corona St., Dallas, Texas 75214.  The Stockholder beneficially owns in the aggregate 3,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Sock” and shares of the Common Stock herein referred to as “Shares”).  In total, this represents less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding Shares.  The Stockholder is the record holder of 1,000 Shares.
 
The Stockholder hereby notifies the Company that he intends to nominate Mr. Mike I. Shafir and Mr. David Verlander for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the Annual Meeting.  Enclosed is the written consent of Mr. Shafir and Mr. Verlander to be named in the proxy statement of the Stockholder and to serve as directors of the Company if elected.
 
The Stockholder is a holder of record of Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to nominate Mr. Mike I. Shafir and Mr. David Verlander.  The Stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of WHITE proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the nomination and/or otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of the nomination.
 
To the extent not prohibited under the Company’s charter documents and applicable law, the Stockholder reserves the right to solicit proxies for the election of substitute nominees if the Company makes or announces any changes to its charter documents or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying a nominee.
 
 



 
By the fact of the Stockholder’s submission of this notice of intent to nominate and submit its nominees for election, it is the Stockholder’s understanding that the Company will be obligated under the federal securities laws to file a preliminary proxy statement and form of proxy with the SEC to allow the Commission to review and comment on such proxy materials.
 
The Stockholder is an employee of Clover Partners, L.P., which is the general partner of MHC Mutual Conversion Fund, L.P. (“Clover Partners GP”).  With regard to Clover Partners GP, Clover Partners Management, L.L.C. (“Clover”) serves as the general partner of Clover Partners GP, and Johnny Guerry is the managing partner of Clover.  MHC Mutual Conversion Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) is entitled to vote and beneficially owns 370,100 Shares.  Clover Partners GP, in its capacity as investment manager and general partner to the Fund has the power to vote the 370,100 Shares of Common Stock and the power to dispose of the 370,100 Shares of Common Stock held by the Fund.  Clover, in its capacity as general partner of Clover Partners GP and Mr. Guerry, as the managing partner of Clover, may each be deemed to beneficially own the Shares held by the Fund.  Clover Partners GP, Clover, and the Fund are sometimes referred to herein as the “Clover Entities”.
 
The Stockholder and the Clover Entities may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by the other party.  The Stockholder and the Clover Entities disclaim beneficial ownership with respect to the Shares reported owned in this letter except to the extent of his or their pecuniary interest therein.
 
Provided below is information regarding the Stockholder’s nomination of directors.

Mr. Shafir graduated from Brandeis University in 1998 and received an MBA from Rutgers Business School in 2004. Mr. Shafir currently serves on the Board of Directors of Bank Mutual Corporation.
 
David Verlander:
Mr. Verlander founded DLV Capital, LLC in 2008 and launched the DLV Financial Fund in 2014. DLV Financial is an equity long/short financial services sector fund with a focus on smaller community banks. David is the Fund’s Portfolio Manager and is responsible for managing the firm on a day-to-day basis. Prior to founding DLV Capital, David was a Principal and Portfolio Manager for Basswood Capital Management, a $1.5 billion NYC-based hedge fund focused primarily on the financial services sector. At Basswood, David was one of three portfolio managers responsible for security selection and risk management. David began his career as a bank regulator with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta where he participated in all aspects of member bank safety and soundness exams. Following The Federal Reserve, David was a research analyst covering bank and specialty financial services stocks at Natwest Securities in New York City. David received both his BA degree in Finance and his MS degree in Finance from Georgia State University.

The combination of experience, skill sets, and qualifications discussed above led to the conclusion that each of the nominees should serve as a director of the Company.  Specifically, the nominees have gained familiarity with the Company’s financial statements and understand both the demands of operating a business and the challenges currently facing the Company, which will make them a valuable resource on the Board of Directors.
 
Furthermore, the role of an effective director inherently requires certain personal qualities, such as integrity, as well as the ability to comprehend, discuss and critically analyze materials and issues that are presented so that the director may exercise judgment and reach conclusions in fulfilling his duties and fiduciary obligations.  The Stockholder believes that the background and expertise of each of the nominees, as set forth above, evidence those abilities and are appropriate to each nominee serving on the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Stockholder believes that each of the nominees would be deemed “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.  The Stockholder also believes that the nominees would each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined by the SEC.
 
C.            Shares Owned by the Nominees Either Beneficially or of Record

The Stockholder beneficially owns in the aggregate 3,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share.  In total, this represents less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding Shares.  The Stockholder is the record holder of 1,000 Shares.
 
The Stockholder is an employee of Clover Partners GP, which is the general partner of the Fund.  The Fund is entitled to vote and beneficially owns 370,100 Shares.  Clover Partners GP, in its capacity as investment manager and general partner to the Fund has the power to vote the 370,100 Shares and the power to dispose of the 370,100 Shares held by the Fund.  Clover, in its capacity as general partner of Clover Partners GP and Mr. Guerry, as the managing partner of Clover, may each be deemed to beneficially own the Shares held by the Fund.
 
Mr. Verlander does not own Shares, beneficially (directly or indirectly) or of record and to his knowledge, none of his affiliates or associates own any Shares beneficially (directly or indirectly).
 
As of the date of this notice, no agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) has been entered by, or on behalf of, the Stockholder or any of his affiliates or associates, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of the Stockholder or any of his affiliates or associates with respect to shares of stock of the Company.
 
From time to time, the Stockholder may purchase Shares using margin provided by banking institutions or brokerage firms on such firms’ usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the Shares may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities.  Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin.  Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers.  As of the date of this notice, the Stockholder does not have any loans secured by Shares.
 
D.            Interest of Certain Persons in Company and Matters to Be Acted Upon

Except as otherwise set forth herein, Mr. Shafir is not, nor has he been within the past year, a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
