COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

On

May 10, 2017,

the Company announced the closing of its underwritten public offering, at the public offering price of

$10.50

per share. The total number of shares of common stock sold by the Company was

2,738,096

. Net proceeds raised in the offering, after underwriting discounts and expenses of the offering, were

$26.8

million.

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards which do

not

have voting rights or share in dividends. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that subsequently shared in the earnings of the Holding Company. The computation of diluted earnings per share does

not

assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

The following is a computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2018

and

2017.
