8 Investment Highlights Source : S&P Global Market Intelligence; SEC Filings; Company Documents. Note: All figures presented on a fiscal basis; Hanover has a fiscal year ending September 30 th . Data as of 12/31/2021. • Recent market consolidation has resulted in a lack of sub - $5 billion asset sized banks in the Long Island and Greater New York City Metro Area. • Since June 2020, there have been 12 bank transactions in the tri - state area, 7 of which involved targets with total assets less than $5 billion. High Degree of Franchise Scarcity Value • Since 2014, the residential mortgage operation has been highly focused on non - conforming lending in New York City. With the recent addition of Savoy, the Company has acquired a niche in SBA and small business commercial banking platform. • Hanover’s municipal deposit banking business is differentiated in that it is focused on long - term relationships that typically have less pricing volatility, particularly in rising rate environments. Niche Lending & Funding Expertise Drives Pricing Power • Demonstrated track record of profitability and investing in the business. Hanover is highly focused around profitability and a highly efficient operating platform and branch network. • The Company’s level of assets, loans, deposits and revenue relative to the number of branch offices is well above peers. Management believes a continued focus on operating efficiently will result in above average levels of profitability over the long - term . Efficient, Profitable and Scalable Business Model • Since 2016, Hanover has incurred $907k in cumulative net charge - off’s , representing less than 10 basis points of average loans over that time period. • Total non - accrual loans at December 31, 2021 were $6.1 million, or 0.48% of total loans, excluding loans Held - for - Sale and Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection loans. • Hanover’s reserves represent 0.78% of total loans, excluding Held - for - Sale and Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection loans. Disciplined Underwriting and High Quality Balance Sheet • Hanover’s executive team, which is led by Chairman and CEO Michael Puorro, and Brian Finneran, our President, has significant experience with M&A transactions and post - closing integration efforts. • In August 2019, the Company closed the CFSB acquisition and has successfully grown the former CFSB deposit franchise significantly. • In May 2021, the Company closed the Savoy merger , an approximately $ 650 million total asset single branch commercial bank located in NYC. The transaction significantly diversified revenue and lending mix while boosting profitability and leveraging Savoy’s expertise in commercial and SBA lending.
