The Registrant issued a press release on May 21, 2015, announcing the election of Aaron Tucker to the Registrant’s Board of Directors, the full text of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 with the Current Report on Form 8-K. Aaron Tucker previously served as a member of the Board of Directors of Unity Bank, the Registrant’s wholly owned subsidiary.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Aaron Tucker and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected as directors. There are no material plans, contracts, or arrangements to which Aaron Tucker is a party of or in which he participates that was entered into or materially amended in connection with his appointment to the Board, nor are there any grants or awards to Aaron Tucker, in connection with the same.
Aaron Tucker conducts banking transactions with the Bank from time to time. Each such transaction is made in the ordinary course of the Bank’s business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and does not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
