All three banks are wholly-owned subsidiaries of HOMETOWN FINANCIAL
GROUP, INC., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HOMETOWN
FINANCIAL GROUP, MHC. The main office of BANKESB would remain
the main office of the continuing institution and the banking offices of
BANKHOMETOWN and TRUNORTH BANK would be retained as branch
offices of the continuing institution.
