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 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 $999k in cumulative net charge - off’s, representing 15 basis points of average loans over that time period. • Total non - accrual loans at September 30, 2022 were $12.3 million, or 0.76% of total loans. • Hanover’s reserves represent 0.94% of Hanover originated loans at September 30, 2022. Disciplined Underwriting and High Quality Balance Sheet • Hanover’s executive team, which is led by Chairman and CEO Michael Puorro, 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. • In May 2021, the Company closed the Savoy merger , an approximately $650 million total asset single branch commercial bank located in NYC.
