          <font style="letter-spacing:0.196pt;">In 2024, IBC continued to deliver strong earnings, even with the continued economic challenges lingering after COVID-19 and the FRB&#8217;s decisions to modify interest rate over the last three&#160;years. This was accomplished because we focused on revenue performance and placed a further special focus on cost controls. In 2024, we came very close to meeting the same spectacular results as 2023 but fell just short. As we move forward with ever growing cost challenges, our objective to sustain our record of being a high-performance bank holding company will be achieved by actively managing our balance sheet and interest rate risk and continuing to &#8220;Do More&#8221; for our customers day in and day out. You have my commitment to keep that focus and use all our energy to sustain the great results achieved over the last two&#160;years. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.196pt;">I want to make sure each shareholder understands, your management team has been intensely focused on protecting the future of IBC and your investment. As we pointed out in our earnings release on February&#160;28, 2025, your management team took immediate and effective steps to right-size IBC&#8217;s operations during 2018 and has continued to do so into 2024 to make certain that every area of your Company was performing and doing so in the most efficient way possible. We reduced expenses and continued to build the Company&#8217;s non-interest income. Those effective steps are why we have achieved another exceptional year in 2024. We have managed through many, many crisis periods over our 59&#160;years and have always continued to succeed because our primary responsibility is to protect the deposits of our customers and perform for you, our shareholders. When you start with these core values, and you never forget your duty, you will always succeed. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.196pt;">On February&#160;3, 2025, your Board of Directors approved a seventy cents ($.70) per share cash dividend payable to all holders of common stock, $1.00 par value, of record on February&#160;14, 2025, which was paid to you on February&#160;28, 2025. This dividend was increased by 6.06% from our immediately preceding dividend, which continues our history of increasing dividends. </font>

However, each registered shareholder in the household will receive a personalized Proxy Card with the voting shares, which will allow each shareholder to vote independently. </font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.196pt;">Furthermore, to reduce our cost and improve the dividend payment process, we urge you to select direct deposit to receive your cash dividend.</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.196pt;"> </font>

Just one last reminder, </font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.196pt;">the meeting will begin promptly at 5:00&#160;p.m. and it will be held at the IBC Annex Building on Jacaman Road.
