<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear Stockholders of Meta Financial Group, Inc. and Shareholders of Crestmark Bancorp, Inc.: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;9, 2018, Meta Financial Group, Inc. (&#147;Meta&#148;) and MetaBank, a federally chartered stock savings bank and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Meta (&#147;MetaBank&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;merger agreement&#148;), with Crestmark Bancorp, Inc., a Michigan corporation (&#147;Crestmark&#148;), and Crestmark Bank, a Michigan
state-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crestmark (&#147;Crestmark Bank&#148;). Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Crestmark will merge with and into Meta, with Meta as the
surviving entity (the &#147;merger&#148;), and, immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of a separate merger agreement between MetaBank and Crestmark Bank, Crestmark Bank will merge with and into MetaBank, with MetaBank surviving as
Meta&#146;s wholly-owned subsidiary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the effective time of the merger, (i)&nbsp;each outstanding share of common stock of Crestmark, no
par value per share (&#147;Crestmark common stock&#148;), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing will automatically be converted into the right to receive 2.65 shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or
distributions, recapitalizations or similar transactions (the &#147;exchange ratio&#148;), of common stock of Meta, $0.01 par value per share (&#147;Meta common stock&#148;), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares (together with the shares
of Meta common stock issuable to the holders of Crestmark common stock (&#147;Crestmark shareholders&#148;) pursuant to the merger agreement, the &#147;stock merger consideration&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;each outstanding option to purchase Crestmark
common stock (each, a &#147;Crestmark stock option&#148;) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of shares of Crestmark common stock underlying such Crestmark stock option,
multiplied by the excess, if any, of (a)&nbsp;the dollar amount equal to the product of (x)&nbsp;the exchange ratio multiplied by (y)&nbsp;the average closing price per share of Meta common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the ten
trading day period ending five calendar days before the closing of the merger (such product, the &#147;per share purchase price&#148;) over (b)&nbsp;the exercise price of such Crestmark stock option, less any applicable withholding taxes (together
with the stock merger consideration, the &#147;merger consideration&#148;). Any Crestmark stock option with an exercise price that is greater than or equal to the per share purchase price will be cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the
effective time of the merger, without any consideration therefor. Although the exchange ratio is fixed, the market value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Meta common stock and will not be known at the time
Crestmark shareholders vote on the merger. Based on the $91.25 closing price of Meta common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (&#147;NASDAQ&#148;) on January&nbsp;9, 2018, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the
merger, the per share value of the merger consideration was equal to approximately $241.81 per share of Crestmark common stock, with a proposed aggregate value of approximately $320,462,178. Based on the $113.35 closing price of Meta common stock on
NASDAQ on April 19, 2018, the per share value of the merger consideration was equal to approximately $300.38, with a proposed aggregate value of approximately $399,539,393. Based on the exchange ratio and the number of shares of Crestmark common
stock outstanding as of April 19, 2018, the maximum number of shares of Meta common stock estimated to be issuable at the effective time of the merger is 3,578,155. In addition, based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Meta common
stock as of April 19, 2018 and Crestmark common stock as of April 19, 2018, and based on the exchange ratio, holders of shares of Crestmark common stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger will hold, in the aggregate, approximately
25% of the issued and outstanding shares of Meta common stock immediately following the effectiveness of the merger. We urge you to obtain a current market quotation for Meta (trading symbol &#147;CASH&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Meta will hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the &#147;Meta special meeting&#148;) in connection with the merger. At the Meta special
meeting, the holders of Meta common stock (the &#147;Meta stockholders&#148;) will be asked to vote to adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the issuance of
shares of Meta common stock in connection with the merger (the &#147;Meta merger proposal&#148;), and approve an amendment to Meta&#146;s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Meta common stock to
90&nbsp;million from 30&nbsp;million shares (the &#147;charter amendment proposal&#148;) for the purpose of affecting a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">three-for-one</FONT></FONT> forward split of issued and
outstanding shares of Meta common stock through a stock dividend (the &#147;stock split&#148;), in each case, as described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. The discussion above, and, unless the context otherwise requires, the
information throughout the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus, does not give effect to the stock split. If Meta stockholders approve the charter amendment proposal and the stock split is implemented prior to the consummation of the
merger, the exchange ratio pursuant to the merger agreement would be adjusted such that, upon the closing of the merger, Crestmark stockholders would receive 7.95&nbsp;shares of Meta common stock for each share of Crestmark common stock held by
them. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Meta stockholders are being asked to vote on the Meta merger proposal in order to satisfy the
requirements of Section&nbsp;252 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(b), which requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of stock or assets of another
company if the issuance would constitute more than 20% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance. Meta stockholders are being asked to vote on the charter amendment proposal to facilitate the stock split, and,
without approval of the charter amendment proposal, Meta would not have sufficient authorized shares of Meta common stock to affect the stock split. Meta stockholder approval of the charter amendment proposal is required under Section&nbsp;242 of
the DGCL. Meta will transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Meta special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Approval of each of the Meta merger proposal and the charter amendment proposal requires approval
by Meta stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Meta common stock entitled to vote thereon. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark will hold a
special meeting of its shareholders (the &#147;Crestmark special meeting&#148; and, together with the Meta special meeting, the &#147;special meetings&#148;) in connection with the merger. At the Crestmark special meeting, Crestmark shareholders
will be asked to vote to approve the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (the &#147;Crestmark merger proposal&#148;), as described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. Certain
of Crestmark&#146;s directors and executive officers and holders of Crestmark common stock, representing an aggregate of approximately 34% of Crestmark&#146;s outstanding common stock as of January&nbsp;9, 2018, have entered into voting agreements
with Meta pursuant to which, among other things, each such Crestmark shareholder agreed to vote their shares of Crestmark common stock in favor of the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, at
the Crestmark special meeting. Approval of the Crestmark merger proposal requires the prior affirmative vote from the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Crestmark common stock entitled to vote thereon. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Meta special meeting will be held at 5501 South Broadband Lane, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57108 on May 29, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. local time.
The Crestmark special meeting will be held at the Detroit Marriott Troy, 200 W. Big Beaver Road, Troy, Michigan 48084 on May 29, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. local time. </P>

merger proposal and the Crestmark merger proposal. It is important that your shares be represented and voted regardless of the size of your holdings. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meta special meeting or the Crestmark special meeting, we
urge you to submit a proxy to have your shares voted in advance of the respective special meetings by using one of the methods described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P>

common stock in favor of the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, at the Crestmark special meeting. Approval of the Crestmark adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority

collateral. Given its specialized commercial banking focus, Crestmark currently has limited exposure to consumer banking relationships. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017, Crestmark had total assets of approximately $1.2&nbsp;billion, total deposits of
approximately $1.0&nbsp;billion, and total regulatory capital of approximately $127.5&nbsp;million. Crestmark Bank&#146;s deposits are insured by the FDIC. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following table shows selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information about the financial condition and results of
operations of Meta giving effect to the merger with Crestmark. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that the merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, with Meta treated as the acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Crestmark, as of the effective date of the merger, will be recorded by Meta at their respective estimated fair
values, and the excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of Crestmark&#146;s net assets will be allocated to goodwill. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Meta&#146;s fiscal year ends on September&nbsp;30 while Crestmark&#146;s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined income statement information for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 is presented as if the merger was consummated on October&nbsp;1, 2016, the first business day of Meta&#146;s
2017 fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 combines Meta&#146;s audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 with
Crestmark&#146;s audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 (in each case, the most recently completed fiscal year). As a result of the different fiscal year ends, and in order to present results for
comparable periods, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the three-month period ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 combines Meta&#146;s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2017
with Crestmark&#146;s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of December&nbsp;31, 2017 gives effect to the merger as if it
occurred on December&nbsp;31, 2017, and combines the historical balance sheets of Meta and Crestmark as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information also does not consider any potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues, potential revenue enhancements, anticipated cost savings and expense efficiencies, or asset dispositions, among other factors. Further, as
explained in more detail in the notes accompanying the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included under &#147;Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,&#148; the preliminary allocation of
the purchase price reflected in the selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and currently available information, some of which assumptions cannot be finalized until the consummation of
the merger, is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded at the time the merger is completed. Additionally, the adjustments made in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information, which are described in those notes, are preliminary and may be revised. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

and Crestmark Bank, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding anticipated synergies of the mergers, the possibility that the mergers will
facilitate Meta&#146;s and MetaBank&#146;s growth through complementary product and service offerings, the anticipated addition of persons to Meta&#146;s board of directors and executive management team, and the expected timetable for completing the
mergers. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as &#147;may,&#148; &#147;hope,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148;

statements that contain these words because they discuss our future expectations or state other &#147;forward-looking&#148; information. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available and assumptions about future events, and include statements with
respect to the beliefs, expectations, estimates, and intentions of Meta and Crestmark, which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors, some of which are beyond Meta&#146;s control and
Crestmark&#146;s control. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance and business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in
or implied by these forward-looking statements. The potential risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those projected include, among other things, the risk that the transaction may not occur on a timely
basis or at all; the parties&#146; ability to obtain regulatory approvals and the shareholder approvals, and otherwise satisfy the other conditions to closing, on a timely basis or at all; the risk that the businesses of Meta and MetaBank, on the
one hand, and Crestmark and Crestmark Bank, on the other hand, may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer, be more difficult, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">time-consuming</FONT> or costly to accomplish than expected;
the expected growth opportunities, beneficial synergies and/or operating efficiencies from the proposed transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; customer losses and business disruption following the
announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction; potential litigation relating to the merger; changes in the price of Meta common stock before the closing of the merger; changes in the competitive environment among financial holding
companies and banks; the risk that Meta may incur unanticipated or unknown losses or liabilities if it completes the proposed transaction with Crestmark and Crestmark Bank; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological
factors affecting Meta&#146;s and Crestmark&#146;s operations, products, services and prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing list of factors is not
exclusive. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus speak only as of the date hereof. Additional discussions of these and other
risks, uncertainties and other factors applicable to Meta and Crestmark, see &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, in Meta&#146;s Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for Meta&#146;s fiscal

matters addressed under the heading &#147;Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,&#148; you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this joint proxy
statement/prospectus. You should also consider the other information in, and the other documents incorporated by reference into, this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including in particular the risk factors associated with Meta&#146;s business
contained under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and in other sections of Meta&#146;s Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for Meta&#146;s fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 as updated by Meta&#146;s

Merger </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Because the market price of Meta common stock will fluctuate, Crestmark shareholders cannot be certain of the market value of the merger
consideration they will receive. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon completion of the merger, holders of Crestmark common stock will receive for each share of
Crestmark common stock they hold immediately prior to the completion of the merger a fixed exchange ratio of 2.65 shares of fully paid and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-assessable</FONT> Meta common stock, and each outstanding <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-the-money</FONT></FONT> Crestmark stock option will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of shares of Crestmark
common stock underlying such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-the-money</FONT></FONT> Crestmark stock option, multiplied by the excess of (a)&nbsp;the per share purchase price over (b)&nbsp;the exercise price of
such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-the-money</FONT></FONT> Crestmark stock option, less any applicable withholding taxes. The exchange ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of Meta common
stock between the date of signing the merger agreement and completion of the merger (other than to give effect to a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding shares of Meta common stock). Any change in the
market price of Meta common stock prior to completion of the merger will affect the value of any shares of Meta common stock Crestmark shareholders receive as consideration in the merger and the option merger consideration. The market price of Meta
common stock may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in our respective businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are outside our
control. Accordingly, at the time of the Crestmark special meeting, Crestmark shareholders will not know or be able to calculate the market price of Meta common stock that they will receive upon completion of the merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The lack of a public market for Crestmark&#146;s common stock may make it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the merger, and Crestmark shareholders
may receive consideration in the merger that is greater than or less than the fair value of the shares of common stock of Crestmark. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark is privately held and its outstanding capital stock is not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market may make it
difficult to determine the fair value of Crestmark or its shares of common stock. As the exchange ratio, and, accordingly, the approximate number of shares of Meta common stock to be issued to the Crestmark shareholders in the merger were determined
based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that, at the effective time of the merger, the aggregate value of the Meta common stock to be issued in connection with the merger may be greater or less than the fair value of Crestmark.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Crestmark will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Crestmark and consequently on Meta. These
uncertainties may impair Crestmark&#146;s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with Crestmark to seek to change existing business relationships with
Crestmark. Retention of certain employees may </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Meta. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty
and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with Meta, Meta&#146;s business following the merger could be harmed. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Crestmark from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions
without the consent of Meta, and generally requires Crestmark to continue its operations in the ordinary course, until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent Crestmark from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior
to the completion of the merger. For a description of the restrictive covenants to which Crestmark is subject, see &#147;The Merger Agreement&#151;Conduct of Business Pending the Merger.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Combining our two companies may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than we currently expect, and we may fail to realize the anticipated
benefits of the merger. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Meta and Crestmark have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate,
independently. The success of the merger, including anticipated benefits and synergies, will depend, in part, on Meta&#146;s ability to successfully combine and integrate the Crestmark business into its own in a manner that permits growth
opportunities and does not materially disrupt existing business relationships or result in decreased revenues due to loss of such relationships. It is possible that the integration process could result in uncertainty among Meta and Crestmark
employees about their roles within Meta following the merger. As a result, the integration process may have an adverse effect on our ability to attract or retain key management and key employees or lead to the disruption of either company&#146;s
ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees. As with any merger of banking institutions, there also may be business
disruptions that cause us to lose customers or business partners or cause customers to take their deposits out of our banks. In particular, MetaBank has limited experience in certain areas of business in which Crestmark operates, including
commercial factoring and commercial leasing. As a result of integration issues and business disruptions resulting from such limited experience, or due to a lack of familiarity with MetaBank, current Crestmark Bank customers may turn to other
providers of commercial factoring and commercial leasing following the consummation of the merger. The success of the combined company following the merger and the bank merger may depend, in part, on the ability of Meta to integrate the two
businesses, business models and cultures. If Meta experiences difficulties in the integration process, including those listed above, Meta may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger in a timely manner or at all. Meta&#146;s business
or results of operations or the value of its common stock may be materially and adversely affected as a result. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The market price of Meta common
stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting Meta common stock. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The businesses of
Meta and Crestmark differ in some respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of Meta common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the
independent results of operations of each of Meta or Crestmark. For a discussion of the business of Meta and of certain factors to consider in connection with the business of Meta, see the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy
statement/prospectus and referred to under &#147;Where You Can Find More Information,&#148; including in particular the section titled &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in Meta&#146;s Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for
Meta&#146;s fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017. For a discussion of the business of Crestmark, see &#147;Information About the Companies&#148; and &#147;Crestmark Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Crestmark&#146;s Financial

Other approvals, waivers, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-objections</FONT> or consents from regulators may also be required (all such required approvals, collectively, the &#147;requisite
regulatory approvals&#148;). In determining whether to grant the requisite regulatory approvals, regulators consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each party and the other factors described under &#147;The Merger
Agreement&#151;Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger.&#148; An adverse development in any party&#146;s regulatory standing could cause the granting of any such requisite regulatory approval to be delayed or denied. Additionally, the
regulators may impose adverse or burdensome conditions on the completion of the merger or the bank merger or require changes to the terms of the merger or the bank merger. Such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying or preventing
completion of the merger or the bank merger or imposing additional costs on, or limiting the revenues of, the combined company following the merger and the bank merger, any of which might have an adverse effect on the combined company following the
merger and the bank merger. Receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals could also be adversely impacted by the existence and status of any ongoing investigation of the parties or any of their respective customers, program managers or other
marketers, including subpoenas to provide information or investigations by any federal, state or local governmental agency. We may not be able to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals (including final certification of the bank merger by the OCC)
within the timeframe that the parties presently expect, or at all, and we cannot provide any assurances that the regulators will not impose additional conditions to the completion of the merger or the bank merger. Our ability to obtain the requisite
regulatory approvals in a timely manner, or at all, could also be adversely impacted if individuals or groups exercise their right to comment on the merger and the bank merger and raise an objection to the transactions. See &#147;The Merger

impacted by changing interest rates and changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Crestmark&#146;s profitability is heavily influenced by the spread between the interest rates it earns on loans and investments and the
interest rates it pays on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Like most banking institutions, Crestmark&#146;s net interest spread and margin is affected by general economic conditions and other factors that influence market interest
rates and Crestmark&#146;s ability to respond to changes in these rates. At any given time, Crestmark&#146;s assets and liabilities may be such that they will be affected differently by a given change in interest rates. Furthermore, a downturn in
local or national economic conditions may adversely affect Crestmark&#146;s specialty lending operations focused on certain industries or its traditional factoring services because, if Crestmark is unable to collect on purchased receivables,
Crestmark will sustain losses, which in some cases may be material. Moreover, a recession may result in a reduction in demand for Crestmark&#146;s financial services, which could lead to a reduction in fees and overall profitability of

institutions, as well as other entities that provide financial services, including specialty lenders, securities firms and mutual funds. Some of the financial institutions and financial service organizations with which Crestmark competes are not
subject to the same degree of regulation as Crestmark. Many of Crestmark&#146;s competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, have substantially higher lending limits than Crestmark does, offer larger
branch networks than Crestmark and offer other services which Crestmark does not, including trust and international banking services. Most of these entities have greater capital and other resources than Crestmark does, which, among other things, may
allow them to<B> </B>price their services at<B> </B>levels more<B> </B>favorable to customers and to provide larger credit facilities than Crestmark does. This competition may limit Crestmark&#146;s growth or earnings. Under specified circumstances
(that have been modified by the Dodd-Frank Act), securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies under the BHCA may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The financial services industry may also
become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of

increasing pressure to provide financial products and services at lower prices, which may reduce net interest income and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> income from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">fee-based</FONT> products and
services. In addition, the widespread adoption of new technologies could require Crestmark to make substantial capital expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services or develop new products and services. Crestmark may not be
successful in introducing new products and services in response to industry trends or developments, including trends or developments in technology, or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. As a result, Crestmark could lose business,
or be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients. As a result, Crestmark&#146;s business, financial condition, or results of operations may be adversely affected. </P>

financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing and counterparty or other relationships. Crestmark has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and it routinely executes
transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity
problems and could lead to losses or defaults by Crestmark or by other institutions. Even routine funding transactions expose Crestmark to credit risk in the event of default of its counterparty or client. In addition, Crestmark&#146;s credit risk
may be exacerbated when the collateral held by it cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices insufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due to Crestmark. There is no assurance that any such losses would not
materially and adversely affect Crestmark&#146;s results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The timing and effect of Federal Reserve Board policy normalization remains

normalization, that is, to raise the Federal funds rate and other short-term interest rates to more historically normal levels and to reduce the Federal Reserve&#146;s securities holdings, so as to promote its statutory mandate of maximum employment
and price stability. The Federal Open Market Committee (&#147;FOMC&#148;) took the initial step in that process by raising the Federal funds rate by 25 basis points in December 2015, the first such action since December 2008. Subsequently, the FOMC
refined the normalization principles and announced greater detail about its planned approach. In September 2017, the FOMC announced the start of gradual reduction in the Federal Reserve&#146;s securities holdings, commencing in October 2017. In each
of March, June, and December 2017, the FOMC raised the Federal funds rate by 25 basis points, and announced its intention to continue to raise the Federal funds rate gradually over the next few years. There can be no assurance that these reductions
in the Federal Reserve&#146;s securities holdings, and increases in the Federal funds rate, will continue to occur, that they will be gradual if they do occur, or as to the actual impact of those policies on the financial markets, the broader

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The risk of nonpayment of loans and leases is inherent in lending and leasing activities, and nonpayment, when it occurs, may have a materially
adverse effect on Crestmark&#146;s earnings and overall financial condition, as well as the value of its common stock. Crestmark&#146;s focus on asset-based loans subjects Crestmark to the potential for fraud by borrowers regarding the value of
underlying collateral. As a result, Crestmark may assume different or greater lending risks than other banks. Crestmark makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of Crestmark&#146;s loan portfolio and provides an allowance for
losses based on several factors. If Crestmark&#146;s assumptions are wrong, Crestmark&#146;s allowance may not be sufficient to cover Crestmark&#146;s losses, which would have an adverse effect on Crestmark&#146;s operating results. The actual
amounts of future provisions for loan losses cannot be determined at <B></B>this time<B></B> and may exceed the amounts of past provisions. Additions to Crestmark&#146;s allowance decrease Crestmark&#146;s net income. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark is dependent upon the services of its management team, including its executive officers and its other senior managers. The
unanticipated loss of Crestmark&#146;s executive officers, or any of its other senior managers, could have an adverse effect on its growth and performance. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Crestmark depends on Crestmark&#146;s key sales managers. Several of Crestmark&#146;s sales managers are responsible, or share
responsibility, for generating and managing a significant portion of Crestmark&#146;s loan and leasing portfolio. Crestmark&#146;s success can be attributed in large part to the relationships these individuals, as well as members of Crestmark&#146;s
management team, have developed and are able to maintain with Crestmark&#146;s customers as Crestmark continues to implement Crestmark&#146;s community banking philosophy. The loss of any of these sales managers could adversely affect
Crestmark&#146;s portfolio and performance, and Crestmark&#146;s ability to generate new loans. Many of Crestmark&#146;s key employees have signed agreements with Crestmark agreeing not to compete with Crestmark in one or more of Crestmark&#146;s
markets for specified time periods if they leave employment with Crestmark. However, Crestmark may not be able to effectively enforce such agreements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some of the other financial institutions in Crestmark&#146;s markets also require their key employees to sign agreements that preclude or
limit their ability to leave their employment and compete with them or solicit their customers. These agreements make it more difficult for Crestmark to hire sales managers with experience in Crestmark&#146;s markets who can immediately solicit
their former or new customers on Crestmark&#146;s behalf.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Crestmark&#146;s business is subject to operational risks. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark, like most financial institutions, is exposed to many types of operational risks, including the risk of fraud by borrowers, employees
or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors. Operational errors may include clerical or recordkeeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems. Given Crestmark&#146;s
volume of transactions, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and successfully corrected. Crestmark&#146;s necessary dependence upon automated systems to record and process its transaction volume may further

are wholly or partially beyond its control, including, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages, which may give rise to losses in service to customers and to loss or liability to Crestmark. Crestmark is further
exposed to the risk that its external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to it, or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as is Crestmark, and to the risk that
Crestmark&#146;s or its vendors&#146; business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate. Crestmark also faces the risk that the design of its controls and procedures proves inadequate or is circumvented, causing delays in
detection or errors in information. Although Crestmark maintains a system of controls designed to keep operational risks at appropriate levels, there can be no assurance that it will not suffer losses from operational risks in the future that may be
material in amount. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Crestmark is subject to significant government regulation, and any regulatory changes may adversely affect Crestmark.
</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. These regulations are primarily intended to protect
customers, the federal deposit insurance fund, and the stability of the U.S. financial system, not Crestmark&#146;s creditors or shareholders. Existing state and federal banking laws subject Crestmark to substantial limitations with respect to the
making of loans, the purchase of securities, the payment of dividends and many other aspects of Crestmark&#146;s business. Some of these laws may benefit Crestmark, others may increase Crestmark&#146;s costs of doing business, or otherwise adversely
affect Crestmark and create competitive advantages for others. Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, which may be accelerated by the recent change in the federal administration, and Crestmark cannot
predict the ultimate effect of these changes, which could have a material adverse effect on Crestmark&#146;s profitability or financial condition. Federal economic and monetary policy may also affect Crestmark&#146;s ability to attract deposits,
make loans and achieve satisfactory interest spreads. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Minimum capital requirements have increased. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to capital to be maintained by financial institutions approach convergence with the standards
(generally known as Basel III) adopted in December, 2010 by the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Among other things, those standards contain a narrower definition of
elements qualifying for inclusion as Tier 1 capital and higher minimum risk-based capital levels than those specified in previous U.S. law and regulations. In July, 2013, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies adopted regulations to implement the
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III for U.S. financial institutions. The new regulations became applicable to Crestmark effective January&nbsp;1, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The new regulations implemented (i)&nbsp;revised definitions of regulatory capital elements, (ii)&nbsp;a new common equity Tier 1 (&#147;CET
1&#148;) minimum capital ratio requirement, (iii)&nbsp;an increase in the existing minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement, (iv)&nbsp;new limits on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if an institution does not hold a
specified amount of CET 1 (called a capital conservation buffer) in addition to the amount required to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements, (v)&nbsp;new risk-weightings for certain categories of assets, and (vi)&nbsp;other requirements
applicable to banking organizations which have total consolidated assets of $250&nbsp;billion or more, total consolidated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-balance</FONT> sheet foreign exposure of $10&nbsp;billion or more, elect to use the
advanced measurement approach for calculating risk-weighted assets, or are subsidiaries of banking organizations that use the advanced measurement approach (&#147;Advanced Approaches Entities&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Among other things, the new regulations generally require banking organizations to recognize in regulatory capital most components of
accumulated other comprehensive income (&#147;AOCI&#148;), including accumulated unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. This requirement, which was not imposed under previous risk-based capital regulations, may be avoided by
banking organizations, such as Crestmark, that are not Advanced Approaches Entities, by making a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time,</FONT> irrevocable election on the first quarterly regulatory report

following the date on which the regulations become effective as to them. Crestmark made the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time,</FONT> irrevocable election regarding the treatment of AOCI
on March&nbsp;31, 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the new regulations (unlike the original proposal), permit companies such as Crestmark, which had
total assets of less than $15&nbsp;billion on December&nbsp;31, 2009, and had issued trust preferred securities on or prior to May&nbsp;19, 2010, to continue to include such securities in Tier 1 capital. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;1, 2015, for banking organizations such as Crestmark that are not Advanced Approaches Entities, the new regulations mandated a
minimum ratio of CET 1 to standardized total risk-weighted assets (&#147;RWA&#148;) of 4.5%, an increased ratio of Tier 1 capital to RWA of 6.0% (compared to the prior requirement of 4.0%), a total capital ratio (that is, the sum of Tier 1 and Tier
2 capital to RWA) of 8.0%, and a minimum leverage ratio (that is, Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total consolidated assets) of 4.0%. The calculation of these amounts is affected by the new definitions of certain capital elements. The phase-in of
the capital conservation buffer comprised solely of CET 1 commenced January&nbsp;1, 2016, beginning at 0.625% of RWA and rising to 2.5% of RWA on January&nbsp;1, 2019. Failure by a banking organization to maintain the aggregate required minimum
capital ratios and capital conservation buffer will impair its ability to make certain distributions (including dividends and stock repurchases) and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These increased minimum capital requirements may adversely affect Crestmark&#146;s ability to pay cash dividends, reduce Crestmark&#146;s
profitability, or otherwise adversely affect Crestmark&#146;s business, financial condition or results of operations. In the event of a need for additional capital to meet these requirements, there can be no assurance of Crestmark&#146;s ability to
raise funding in the equity and capital markets. Factors that Crestmark cannot control, such as the disruption of financial markets or negative views of the financial services industry generally, could impair Crestmark&#146;s ability to raise
qualifying equity capital. In addition, Crestmark&#146;s ability to raise qualifying equity capital could be impaired if investors develop a negative perception of Crestmark&#146;s financial prospects. If Crestmark were unable to raise qualifying
equity capital, it might be necessary for Crestmark to sell assets in order to maintain required capital ratios. Crestmark may be unable to sell some of Crestmark&#146;s assets, or Crestmark may have to sell assets at a discount from market value,
either of which could adversely affect Crestmark&#146;s results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Crestmark faces the risk of
cyber-attack to its computer systems. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the ordinary course of business, Crestmark collects and stores sensitive data, including
proprietary business information and personally identifiable information of Crestmark&#146;s customers and employees in systems and on networks. The secure processing, maintenance and use of this information is critical to Crestmark&#146;s
operations. Crestmark&#146;s systems and those of Crestmark&#146;s customers and third-party service providers are under constant threat, and it is possible that Crestmark could experience a significant event in the future. Cybersecurity threats
include unauthorized access, loss or destruction of data (including confidential client information), account takeovers, unavailability of service, computer viruses or other malicious code, cyber-attacks and other events. These threats may derive
from human error, fraud or malice on the part of employees or third parties, or may result from accidental technological failure. If one or more of these events occurs, it could result in the disclosure of confidential client information, damage to
Crestmark&#146;s reputation with Crestmark&#146;s clients and the market, additional costs to Crestmark (such as repairing systems or adding new personnel or protection technologies), regulatory penalties and financial losses, to both Crestmark and
Crestmark&#146;s clients and customers. Such events could also cause interruptions or malfunctions in Crestmark&#146;s operations (such as the lack of availability of Crestmark&#146;s online banking system), as well as the operations of
Crestmark&#146;s clients, customers or other third parties. Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well
as due to the expanding use of Internet banking, mobile banking and other technology-based products and services by Crestmark and Crestmark&#146;s customers. There can be no assurance that Crestmark will not suffer losses in the future that may be
material in amount. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In March 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One
statement indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and to ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials,
including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution&#146;s management is expected to maintain sufficient business
continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption and maintenance of the institution&#146;s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes
to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If Crestmark fails to observe the
regulatory guidance, Crestmark could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Damage to Crestmark&#146;s
reputation could materially harm its business. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark&#146;s relationship with many of its clients is predicated upon its
reputation as a fiduciary and a service provider that adheres to the highest standards of ethics, service quality and regulatory compliance. Adverse publicity, regulatory actions, litigation, operational failures, the failure to meet client
expectations and other issues with respect to one or more of Crestmark&#146;s businesses could materially and adversely affect its reputation, its ability to attract and retain clients or its sources of funding for the same or other businesses.
Preserving and enhancing Crestmark&#146;s reputation also depends on maintaining systems and procedures that address known risks and regulatory requirements, as well as Crestmark&#146;s ability to identify and mitigate additional risks that arise
due to changes in its businesses and the marketplaces in which it operates, the regulatory environment and client expectations. If any of these developments has a material effect on Crestmark&#146;s reputation, Crestmark&#146;s business will suffer.

with and into Meta, with Meta as the surviving entity, and, immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the bank merger agreement between MetaBank and Crestmark Bank (the &#147;bank merger agreement&#148;), Crestmark Bank will merge with and
into MetaBank, with MetaBank surviving as Meta&#146;s wholly-owned subsidiary (the &#147;bank merger&#148;). As a result of the merger and the bank merger, respectively, the separate existence of Crestmark and Crestmark Bank will terminate.
Following the bank merger, MetaBank will continue its existence as a federally chartered stock savings bank. We expect to complete the merger and the bank merger in the second calendar quarter of 2018, although we cannot give any assurance as to
whether we will receive any required consents or approvals or the satisfaction or waiver of any other conditions to the obligations of Meta and Crestmark to complete the merger. </P>

owns immediately prior to the completion of the merger, 2.65 fully paid and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-assessable</FONT> shares of Meta common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution,
recapitalization, reclassification, exchange or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding shares of Meta common stock. Meta will not issue fractional shares of Meta common stock in the merger. Instead, Meta will pay to each Crestmark
shareholder that would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares an amount in cash equal to (a)&nbsp;the product of (i)&nbsp;the exchange ratio multiplied by (ii)&nbsp;the average closing price per share of Meta common stock on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market for the ten trading day period ending five calendar days before the closing of the merger (such product, the &#147;per share purchase price&#148;) multiplied by (b)&nbsp;such fractional share interest. </P>

strategic opportunities for the potential of business combinations, all with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. The strategic discussions have focused on, among other things, the evaluation of potential asset generating partners, the desire
to accelerate the rotation of its earning asset base from lower-yielding securities to high quality, attractive-yielding loans and the benefits of offsetting the seasonality of earnings created by Meta&#146;s other divisions. </P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT> businesses by providing innovative financial solutions to niche markets. Crestmark&#146;s board of directors believes that Crestmark&#146;s success is derived primarily from the value and
satisfaction provided to its stakeholders &#150; including its clients, employees, shareholders, referral sources, regulators, and the industries and communities Crestmark serves. Crestmark&#146;s board of directors regularly evaluates its strategic
direction in light of this mission with the goal of fostering an atmosphere of creativity, flexibility, and integrity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the latter
half of 2016 through the first quarter of 2017, Crestmark held internal discussions and various meetings and conversations with investment banking firms, including Sandler O&#146;Neill, regarding the desire to develop additional sources of capital
to support Crestmark&#146;s continued growth. These discussions centered around the relative benefits, costs and risks associated with various financing options, and the services offered by the investment banking firms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March&nbsp;20, 2017, Crestmark&#146;s board of directors and senior management met to discuss strategic alternatives to facilitate
continued growth, including raising private equity, acquiring a traditional community bank to enhance its deposit base and expand its range of services, conducting an initial public offering, or merging with a strategic partner. Representatives of
Sandler O&#146;Neill were invited to participate in the March&nbsp;20, 2017 meeting and made a presentation to the Crestmark board on available capital-raising alternatives and potential merger partners. The Crestmark board determined that pursuing
a strategic merger presented a compelling opportunity to further Crestmark&#146;s mission, and directed management to further develop its analysis of strategic alternatives with a focus on identifying potential merger candidates that had similar
entrepreneurial culture and complementary lines of business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On May&nbsp;2 and 3, 2017, Crestmark executive management, including W.

Crestmark&#146;s outside legal counsel, and representatives of Sandler O&#146;Neill where they identified and discussed potential transaction partners that could fit the parameters outlined by the board, and began to develop Crestmark&#146;s
confidential marketing materials. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In June 2017, Crestmark began populating an online data room with information to be used for due

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-disclosure</FONT> agreement (&#147;NDA&#148;), and Meta was provided with Crestmark&#146;s confidential marketing materials. During the weeks of July&nbsp;10 through July&nbsp;17, 2017, five additional NDAs were
distributed to potential acquirers, four of which were executed. Three of these additional parties that signed NDAs were sent Crestmark&#146;s confidential marketing materials and met in person with Crestmark&#146;s management team. </P>

and discussions with four additional potential acquirers, three of which were <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-person</FONT> meetings. On August&nbsp;11, 2017, one of the potential acquirers, Company A, orally expressed its interest regarding a

acquire Crestmark at a range of $190.00 per share to $205.00 per share or $249 million to $270 million in the aggregate in an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-stock</FONT> transaction based on a fixed exchange ratio to be determined at the
signing of the definitive agreement. Based on Meta&#146;s closing stock price on August 24, 2017, of $69.10, the implied exchange ratio would have been a range of 2.75 to 2.97. Meta expressed its interest in growing Crestmark&#146;s lines of
business and with minimal employee reductions, two features that were important to the Crestmark board of directors. The proposed LOI included a proposed seat on the Meta board of directors, to be filled initially by Mr.&nbsp;Tull, as well as the
employment of Mr.&nbsp;Goik, by Meta as the president of a new Commercial Finance Division of Meta. The proposed LOI also included a binding <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">60-day</FONT> exclusivity period, which required that Crestmark only
negotiate a potential transaction with Meta during such time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;28, 2017, members of Crestmark management had discussions
with representatives of Sandler O&#146;Neill regarding the likelihood that other potential acquirers, including Company A, would pursue a transaction with Crestmark on terms more attractive than those proposed by Meta. Following those discussions,
members of Crestmark management determined that the LOI presented by Meta represented a viable proposal which was a good strategic fit for Crestmark and its shareholders and elected to focus its efforts on negotiations with Meta. </P>

Crestmark&#146;s interest in continuing to explore a potential <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-stock</FONT> transaction with Meta, but that Crestmark was unwilling to execute an LOI prior to fixing the exchange ratio. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In September 2017, representatives of Meta and Crestmark agreed to meet to exchange information and further explore discussions of a business

Crestmark by calculating, based on the Projections, the estimated present value of Meta&#146;s and Crestmark&#146;s respective projected free cash flows during the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2018 through fiscal year ending
September&nbsp;30, 2022. In performing this analysis, Raymond James applied two different methodologies for calculating the terminal values for each of Meta and Crestmark. Raymond James applied a range of terminal values using (i)&nbsp;multiples of
13.0x to 15.0x applied to estimated 2023 earnings for Meta (2022 earnings plus 2% growth) and multiples of 12.0x to 14.0x applied to estimated 2023 earnings for Crestmark (2022 earnings plus 2% growth) and (ii)&nbsp;perpetual growth rates of 1.0% to
3.0% applied to estimated 2022 earnings for Meta and Crestmark. Raymond James arrived at its terminal value multiple ranges by observing the price to 2019 estimated earnings for both selected company groups. For Meta, Raymond James used discount
rates ranging from 10.0% to 12.0%. For Crestmark, Raymond James used discount rates ranging from 11.5% to 13.5%. Raymond James arrived at its discount ranges by using the Modified CAPM methodology as presented in the 2017 Duff&nbsp;&amp; Phelps
Valuation Handbook. Raymond James reviewed the ranges of implied per share values indicated by the discounted cash flow analysis for each of Meta and Crestmark and calculated a range of implied exchange ratios by dividing the maximum implied per
share value of Crestmark by the minimum implied per share value of Meta common stock to calculate the maximum implied exchange ratio, and by dividing the minimum implied per share value of Crestmark by the maximum implied per share value of Meta to
calculate the minimum implied exchange ratio. The results of the discounted cash flow analysis are summarized in the table below: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

estimated TBV per share at June&nbsp;30, 2018, accretive to Meta&#146;s estimated full year 2018 earnings per share (excluding the impact of charges relating to the merger) and accretive to Meta&#146;s estimated 2019 earnings per share. For all of
the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Meta following the merger may vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Additional Considerations</I>. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not susceptible to a partial analysis or
summary description. Raymond James believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering the analyses taken as a whole, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its
opinion. In addition, Raymond James considered the results of all such analyses and did not assign relative weights to any of the analyses, but rather made qualitative judgments as to significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In performing its analyses, Raymond James made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic and
regulatory conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Meta and Crestmark. The analyses performed by Raymond James are not necessarily indicative of actual values, trading values or actual future results which might be
achieved, all of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which companies may actually be sold, and such estimates are inherently
subject to uncertainty. The opinion of Raymond James was one of many factors taken into account by Meta&#146;s board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger. Neither Raymond James&#146;s opinion nor the analyses described
above should be viewed as determinative of positions held by Meta&#146;s board of directors or Meta management with respect to Meta, Crestmark or the merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Raymond James&#146;s opinion was based upon market, economic, financial and other circumstances and conditions existing and disclosed to
Raymond James as of January&nbsp;5, 2018. Although subsequent developments may affect the opinion of Raymond James, Raymond James does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For its services as financial advisor to Meta in connection with the merger, Raymond James received an initial retainer of $25,000 (which will

directors in connection with Crestmark&#146;s consideration of a possible business combination. Crestmark selected Sandler O&#146;Neill because Sandler O&#146;Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business
specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler O&#146;Neill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and
other corporate transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sandler O&#146;Neill acted as an independent financial advisor in connection with the proposed transaction
and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the execution of the merger agreement. At the January&nbsp;8, 2018 meeting at which Crestmark&#146;s board of directors considered and discussed the terms of the merger agreement and the
merger, Sandler O&#146;Neill delivered to Crestmark&#146;s board of directors its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of January&nbsp;8, 2018, the exchange ratio provided for in the merger agreement was

procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O&#146;Neill in rendering its opinion. The description of the written opinion set forth below is qualified in its

directors in connection with its consideration of the merger agreement and the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any Crestmark shareholder as to how any such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider
and vote upon the approval of the merger agreement and the merger. Sandler O&#146;Neill&#146;s opinion was directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to the Crestmark shareholders and does not address the
underlying business decision of Crestmark to engage in the merger, the form or structure of the merger or any other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other alternative
transactions or business strategies that might exist for Crestmark or the effect of any other transaction in which Crestmark might engage. </B>Sandler O&#146;Neill did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the

of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Sandler O&#146;Neill believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting
portions of the factors and analyses to be considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process
underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Sandler O&#146;Neill&#146;s comparative analyses described below is identical to Crestmark or Meta and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies

factor that it considered. Rather, Sandler O&#146;Neill made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Sandler O&#146;Neill did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor
(positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support its opinion, rather, Sandler O&#146;Neill made its determination as to the fairness of the exchange ratio on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after
considering the results of all its analyses taken as a whole. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In performing its analyses, Sandler O&#146;Neill also made numerous
assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Crestmark, Meta and Sandler O&#146;Neill. The analyses performed by Sandler O&#146;Neill were not
necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, both of which could be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Sandler O&#146;Neill prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and
provided such analyses to Crestmark&#146;s board of directors at its January&nbsp;8, 2018 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may
actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Sandler O&#146;Neill&#146;s analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of Crestmark common stock or the prices at
which Meta common stock may be sold at any time. The analyses of Sandler O&#146;Neill and its opinion were among a number of factors taken into consideration by Crestmark&#146;s board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger
agreement and should not be viewed as determinative of the exchange ratio or the decision of Crestmark&#146;s board of directors or management with respect to the fairness of the merger. The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger
were determined through negotiation between Crestmark and Meta. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Summary of Exchange Ratio and Implied Transaction Metrics.

and outstanding prior to the effective time, except for certain shares of Crestmark common stock as specified in the merger agreement, will receive 2.65 shares of the common stock of Meta. Based on 1,247,747 shares of Crestmark common stock and
common stock equivalents issued and outstanding, as of January&nbsp;5, 2018, the closing price of Meta common stock on January&nbsp;5, 2018 of $90.15 and a per share exchange ratio of 2.65, Sandler O&#146;Neill calculated an implied transaction
price per share for Crestmark common stock of $238.90 and an aggregate implied transaction value of approximately $316.3&nbsp;million. Based upon historical financial information for Crestmark as of or for the last twelve months (&#147;LTM&#148;)
ended September&nbsp;30, 2017, as provided by Crestmark senior management, Sandler O&#146;Neill calculated the following implied transaction metrics. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

the net present value per share of Crestmark common stock assuming Crestmark performed in accordance with internal financial projections for the years ending December&nbsp;31, 2017 through December&nbsp;31, 2021, as provided by the senior management
of Crestmark. To approximate the terminal value of a share of Crestmark common stock at December&nbsp;31, 2021, Sandler O&#146;Neill applied the implied transaction price to 2021 earnings per share multiples ranging from 7.0x to 14.0x and the
implied transaction price to December&nbsp;31, 2021 tangible book value per share multiples ranging from 125% to 200%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 17.0% which were
chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Crestmark common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Crestmark
common stock of $183.58 to $453.21 when applying multiples of earnings per share, and $158.93 to $313.89 when applying multiples of tangible book value per share. </P>

would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to net income. To illustrate this impact, Sandler O&#146;Neill performed a similar analysis assuming Crestmark&#146;s net income varied from 15% above
projections to 15% below projections. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for Crestmark common stock, applying the implied transaction price to 2021 earnings per share multiples range of 7.0x to 14.0x referred to above

with the merger and will receive a fee for its services in an amount equal to 1.50% of the aggregate purchase price, which fee at the time of announcement of the merger would have been equal to approximately $4.8&nbsp;million, $500,000 of which was
paid to Sandler O&#146;Neill upon signing of the merger agreement with the remainder contingent upon consummation of the merger. Sandler O&#146;Neill also received a fee for rendering its opinion in an amount equal to $250,000, which fairness
opinion fee will be credited in full towards the fee becoming due and payable to Sandler O&#146;Neill on the day of closing of the merger. Crestmark has also agreed to indemnify Sandler O&#146;Neill against certain claims and liabilities arising out
of Sandler O&#146;Neill&#146;s engagement and to reimburse Sandler O&#146;Neill for certain of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">its&nbsp;out-of-pocket&nbsp;expenses</FONT></FONT> incurred in connection with Sandler

services to Meta and has received fees totaling approximately $415,000 from Meta for those services. Most recently, Sandler O&#146;Neill acted as&nbsp;book manager in connection with Meta&#146;s $75.0&nbsp;million&nbsp;subordinated debt offering,
which closed in August 2016, and advised Meta on its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of EPS Financial Services LLC, which closed November&nbsp;1, 2016, and on Meta&#146;s acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Specialty
Consumer Services, L.P., which closed December&nbsp;14, 2016. In the ordinary course of Sandler O&#146;Neill&#146;s business as a broker-dealer, Sandler O&#146;Neill may purchase securities from and sell securities to Meta and its affiliates.
Sandler O&#146;Neill may also actively trade the equity and debt securities of Meta and its affiliates for its own account and for the accounts of its customers. </P>

AND THE MERGER&#151;Opinion of Crestmark&#146;s Financial Advisor.&#148; The summary of the projections set forth below is also being included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus because
such information was part of the information considered by the respective boards of directors of Meta and Crestmark, as applicable, in evaluating the merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The prospective financial information summary of certain significant elements reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to
industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to each of Meta&#146;s and Crestmark&#146;s respective businesses, all of which are inherently
uncertain and difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the parties&#146; control. The prospective financial information is subjective in many respects and, thus, is susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on
actual experience and business developments. The prospective financial information may also be affected by the parties&#146; ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable periods. As such, these projections
constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks set forth in the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled &#147;Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and, with respect to Meta, in the reports that Meta files with the SEC from time to time, and with respect to Crestmark, in &#147;Crestmark&#146;s Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of
Crestmark&#146;s Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#151;Quantitative and Qualitative Market Risk Disclosures&#148; included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The prospective financial information generally was not prepared with a
view toward public disclosure or complying with U.S. GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of
prospective financial information. Neither the respective independent registered public accounting firms of Meta or Crestmark, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective
financial information included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and the parties&#146; respective independent registered public accounting firms assume no
responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. This information was prepared solely for internal use and is subjective in many respects. Neither Meta nor Crestmark can provide any assurance that the
unaudited prospective financial information and the underlying estimates and assumptions will be realized. Further, these assumptions do not include all potential actions that management could or might have taken during these time periods and the
financial forecasts may not reflect the manner in which Meta would operate the Crestmark business after the merger. In addition, since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less
predictive with each successive year. Neither Meta, Crestmark nor, after completion of the merger, the combined company undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the financial forecasts or financial information to reflect circumstances
existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of subsequent or unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry
conditions. Furthermore, the prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. Neither party can give any assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial
information been prepared as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, similar estimates and assumptions would be used. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the possible financial and other effects on either Meta or Crestmark, as applicable, of the merger and does not attempt to predict or suggest future results of the combined
company following the merger. The information included below does not comprise all of the prospective financial information provided by Meta to Raymond James or by Crestmark to Sandler O&#146;Neill and does not take into account the effect on either
Meta or Crestmark, as applicable, of any possible failure to complete the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance
on the prospective financial information set forth below. The inclusion of the prospective financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that any of Meta, Crestmark, Raymond James, Sandler

The prospective financial information is not being included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to influence any Meta stockholder&#146;s or Crestmark shareholder&#146;s decision regarding how to vote on any given proposal at the Meta special

measured by the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis in such fractional share (determined as described above). Any gain or loss recognized generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital
gain or loss if, as of the effective date of the merger, the shares of Crestmark common stock comprising the block of shares of Crestmark common stock exchanged in the merger were held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is
subject to limitations. If the U.S. holder&#146;s receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend under the provisions of the Code, such gain will be treated as dividend income rather than capital gain. The Internal Revenue Service
has indicated in rulings that any reduction in the interest of a shareholder that owns a small number of shares in a publicly and widely held corporation and that exercises no control over corporate affairs would result in capital gain as opposed to
dividend treatment. Because the possibility of dividend treatment depends primarily upon a U.S. holder&#146;s particular circumstances, including the application of constructive ownership rules, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors
regarding this possibility. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Backup Withholding and Information Reporting </I></P>

with an exercise price that is greater than or equal to the per share purchase price will be cancelled and of no further force or effect. As of the date of the merger agreement, directors and executive officers of Crestmark, collectively, held

Meta and Crestmark cannot provide any assurance that the requisite regulatory approvals will be obtained in a timely manner or at all, or, if the requisite regulatory approvals are obtained, that such approvals will not contain a burdensome

the merger and the bank merger, Meta will resume its legal status as a savings and loan holding company and MetaBank will be the sole insured depository institution subsidiary of Meta. Additionally, a FR <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Y-4</FONT>
notice filing was provided to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">FRB-M</FONT> on March&nbsp;14, 2018 in connection with Meta&#146;s momentary holding of (i)&nbsp;Crestmark Bank&#146;s majority interests in certain subsidiary limited liability

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Federal Reserve generally considers the following specific factors in evaluating
applications presented pursuant to HOLA Section&nbsp;10(e): (a) the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and association involved (including a consideration of the competence, experience, and integrity of the
officers, directors, and principal shareholder of the company or association), (b) the effect of the acquisition on the association, (c)&nbsp;the insurance risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund, and (d)&nbsp;the convenience and needs of the community
to be served (including the record of performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Federal Reserve is
further prohibited from approving a merger application if after consummation of the mergers, the applicant would control more than 10% of the total amount of aggregate consolidated liabilities of &#147;financial companies&#148; (as defined under the
BHCA) in the United States. On a pro forma basis, using data as of December&nbsp;31, 2017, assuming approval and consummation of the mergers, Meta would control only 0.0383% of nationwide liabilities of financial companies. Accordingly, Meta
believes that this prohibition does not apply to the mergers, and will not prevent the Federal Reserve from granting approval under the HOLA. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Federal Reserve will render a decision on the HOLA application within 90 days after submission of the complete record on the application.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In acting on the application and notice under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve will consider factors similar to those described above that
are applicable under the HOLA. In addition, the Federal Reserve will consider the effectiveness of the companies in combatting money laundering services, and the extent to which the proposed merger would result in greater or more concentrated risks

MetaBank and of Crestmark Bank is not the same state, the Federal Reserve is prohibited from approving the merger if (i)&nbsp;the applicant is not &#147;well capitalized&#148; and &#147;well managed&#148; (as those terms are defined in the BHCA), or
(ii)&nbsp;after consummation of the mergers, the applicant would control more than 10% of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the United States. Meta believes that it is both &#147;well capitalized&#148; and &#147;well
managed&#148;, as those terms are used in the BHCA. On a pro forma basis, using deposit data as of December&nbsp;31, 2017, assuming approval and consummation of the mergers, Meta would control only 0.0342% of nationwide deposits of insured
depository institutions. Accordingly, Meta believes that this prohibition does not apply to the mergers, and will not prevent the Federal Reserve from granting approval under the BHCA. </P>

depository institutions and their current and pro forma financials. The OCC considered the following factors, among others, in evaluating the bank merger application: (a)&nbsp;the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the
existing and proposed institutions; (b)&nbsp;the convenience and needs of the community to be served; (c)&nbsp;the risk to the stability of the United States banking or financial system; (d)&nbsp;the activities of the combined institution; and

stock on March&nbsp;14, 2018 was $113.75, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In light of the rise in the market price of Meta common stock in recent years, Meta&#146;s board of directors believes that effecting the stock split would
make shares of Meta common stock more affordable and attractive to a broader group of potential investors, increase liquidity in the trading of Meta common stock and increase the attractiveness of Meta&#146;s employee equity awards. Meta&#146;s
board of directors also considered a study published by The Ambassador Financial Group concluding that stock splits improve stockholder liquidity and market valuation. Finally, Meta&#146;s board of directors considered the cost of effecting a stock

existing class of Meta common stock and, if and when issued, will have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Meta common stock currently authorized. Meta common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The par value per share of Meta common stock will, upon approval of the charter amendment proposal and effectiveness of the charter amendment
and the stock split, remain unchanged at $0.01 per share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the effective date of the stock split, if approved by Meta&#146;s
board of directors, each Meta stockholder would own three times the number of shares of Meta common stock that such stockholder held prior to the effective date. The stock split, however, would affect all of Meta&#146;s stockholders uniformly and
will not affect any stockholder&#146;s percentage ownership of Meta&#146;s common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the effectiveness of the charter
amendment and the stock split, shares of Meta common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, or otherwise reserved for issuance under Meta&#146;s equity compensation plans would increase proportionately. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While the charter amendment is not intended to prevent or discourage any actual or threatened takeover of Meta, if the charter amendment
proposal is adopted, under certain circumstances, the charter amendment could have anti-takeover effects. For example, in the event of a hostile attempt to acquire control of Meta, it may be possible for Meta to endeavor to impede the attempt by
issuing shares of Meta common stock, thereby diluting the voting power of the other outstanding shares of Meta common stock and increasing the potential cost to acquire control of Meta. The proposed charter amendment may also have the effect of
permitting Meta&#146;s current members of management and the current members of Meta&#146;s board of directors to retain their respective positions, and resist changes to Meta&#146;s board of directors that Meta stockholders may wish to make if they
are dissatisfied with the performance of Meta or Meta common stock. The additional shares of Meta common stock could also be issued in private placements or other transactions without stockholder approval, subject to applicable law and applicable
rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which Meta&#146;s shares of capital stock are listed, permitting the acquisition by a holder of a large number of shares of Meta common stock or Meta Preferred Stock (which may be convertible into
shares of Meta common stock). Accordingly, because Meta stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to Meta common stock, to the extent that additional authorized shares of Meta common stock are issued in the future, they will decrease
the respective percentage equity ownership of existing holders of Meta common stock, if any, and depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to existing Meta stockholders. If this proposal is adopted, the increase in the
number of authorized shares of Meta common stock may render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest (and thereby potentially limit the opportunity for Meta stockholders to dispose of their shares of Meta common stock at
a premium to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">then-current</FONT> market price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal). Any such anti-takeover effects may have an adverse impact on Meta
stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Effectiveness of the charter amendment </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If Meta stockholders approve and adopt the proposed charter amendment contemplated by the charter amendment proposal, Meta will
(i)&nbsp;promptly file the charter amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State following the Meta special meeting, whereupon the charter amendment will become effective and (ii)&nbsp;provide additional details about the implementation of the

December&nbsp;10, 2015, Crestmark paid a cash dividend of $4.25 per share of Crestmark common stock to shareholders of record as of November&nbsp;16, 2015. On December&nbsp;13, 2016, Crestmark declared a cash dividend of $4.50 per share of Crestmark

held by Crestmark Bank and its subsidiaries. Crestmark&#146;s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders depends primarily on Crestmark Bank&#146;s ability to pay dividends to Crestmark. Dividend payments and extensions of credit to Crestmark from
Crestmark Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and current and retained earnings, imposed by law and regulatory agencies. The ability of Crestmark Bank to pay dividends is also subject to its
profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark Bank is subject to regulatory

Additionally, Crestmark&#146;s credit facility and subordinated debentures issued in connection with its trust preferred securities place certain restrictions on Crestmark&#146;s ability to pay dividends. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;9, 2018, Meta and Crestmark announced that they had entered into a merger agreement under which Crestmark will merge with and
into Meta, with Meta continuing as the surviving corporation. Immediately following the completion of the merger, Crestmark Bank, Crestmark&#146;s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, will merge with and into MetaBank, Meta&#146;s wholly-owned bank
subsidiary, with MetaBank continuing as the surviving entity in the bank merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the effective time of the merger, each share of
Crestmark common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing, except for Crestmark dissenting shares and shares of Crestmark common stock owned by Crestmark or Meta will automatically be converted into the right to receive 2.65
shares of Meta common stock. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, immediately prior to the effective time, each outstanding option to purchase Crestmark common stock will be cancelled and converted in
the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of shares of Crestmark common stock underlying such option, multiplied by the excess, if any, of (a)&nbsp;the dollar amount equal to (x) 2.65 multiplied by (y)&nbsp;the per
share purchase price over the (b)&nbsp;the exercise price of such option, less any applicable withholding taxes. Any option with an exercise price that is greater than or equal to the per share purchase price will be cancelled and of no further
force or effect. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 2&#151;Basis of Presentation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Meta&#146;s fiscal year ends on September&nbsp;30 while Crestmark&#146;s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined income statement information for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 is presented as if the merger was consummated on October&nbsp;1, 2016, the first business day of Meta&#146;s
2017 fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 combines Meta&#146;s audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 with
Crestmark&#146;s audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 (in each case, the most recently completed fiscal year). As a result of the different fiscal year ends, and in order to present results for
comparable periods, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the three-month period ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 combines Meta&#146;s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2017
with Crestmark&#146;s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of December&nbsp;31, 2017 gives effect to the merger as if it
occurred on December&nbsp;31, 2017, and combines the historical balance sheets of Meta and Crestmark as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. GAAP giving effect to the merger of Crestmark with and into Meta, with Meta
surviving the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been
combined at the beginning of the period presented. The merger provides for the issuance of approximately 3,306,530 shares of Meta common stock based on the number of shares of Crestmark common stock outstanding at January&nbsp;9,&nbsp;2018 and the
2.65 exchange ratio in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement. Based on Meta&#146;s closing stock price on January&nbsp;9, 2018 and including a cash payment for outstanding stock options, the total consideration would be approximately
$320.3&nbsp;million. This amount is subject to change based on the number of outstanding Crestmark stock options at the closing date of the merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Crestmark will be recorded at the respective fair values on the date
of the closing of the merger. The fair value on the date of the closing of the merger represents management&#146;s best estimates based on available information and facts and circumstances in existence on January&nbsp;9, 2018, the date of the merger
agreement. The pro forma allocation of purchase price </P>

reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and currently available information, some of which assumptions cannot be finalized
until the consummation of the merger. Adjustments may include, but not limited to, changes in (i)&nbsp;Crestmark&#146;s balance sheet through the effective time of the merger; (ii)&nbsp;total merger related expenses if consummation and/or
implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; and (iii)&nbsp;the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market conditions differ from current assumptions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 3&#151;Estimated Merger and Integration Costs </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the merger, the plan to integrate Meta&#146;s and Crestmark&#146;s operations is still being developed. Over the next
several months, the specific details of these plans will continue to be refined. Meta and Crestmark are currently in the process of the two companies&#146; personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment, computer systems, and service contracts to
determine where they may take advantage of redundancies or where it will be beneficial or necessary to convert to one system. Certain decisions arising from these assessments may involve changing information systems, canceling contracts between
Crestmark and certain service providers and selling or otherwise disposing of certain premises, furniture and equipment owned by Crestmark. Additionally, as part of the parties&#146; formulation of the integration plan, certain actions regarding
existing Meta information systems, premises, equipment, and supplier contracts may be taken. Meta expects to incur merger-related expenses including system conversion costs, employee retention agreements, communications to customers, and others. To
the extent there are costs associated with these actions, the costs will be recorded based on the nature and timing of these integration actions. Most acquisition and restructuring costs are recognized separately from a business combination and
generally will be expensed as incurred. Meta estimates the merger-related costs to be approximately $18.0&nbsp;million <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> and expect they will be incurred in fiscal years 2018 and 2019. These
merger-related costs are not reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 4&#151;Pro Forma Merger Adjustments </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. All taxable
adjustments were calculated using a 28% tax rate to arrive at deferred tax asset or liability adjustments. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change. Management has evaluated the estimated effects
resulting from accreting or amortizing the purchase accounting adjustments reflected in the pro forma combined financial information on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> income over the appropriate period for each pro forma adjustment
following the acquisition and has concluded that the impact is not significant for these periods. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

$18.5&nbsp;million, totaling approximately $320.3&nbsp;million of merger consideration, based upon 1,247,747 shares of Crestmark common stock and the $91.25 closing price of Meta common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on January&nbsp;9,
2018. See<I> </I>Note 2&#151;Basis of Presentation. The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. GAAP; accordingly Meta&#146;s cost to acquire Crestmark will be
allocated to the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities of Crestmark at their respective estimated fair values as of the merger closing date. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as summarized in the following table. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

business customers located throughout the United States. Crestmark Bank conducts its business through its headquarters in Troy, Michigan and a network of loan production offices located in the following cities: Los Angeles, California; Boynton
Beach, Florida; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; New York, New York; Franklin, Tennessee; and Toronto, Canada. Crestmark provides <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">business-to-business</FONT></FONT> working capital solutions,
equipment leasing and asset-based lending services that are outside the realm of what traditional banks can offer. These services include customizable business lines of credit, machinery and equipment financing, term loans, working capital
acquisition funding and expansion financing, discount factoring and traditional factoring. Crestmark customarily provides these services to customers that are not bankable under traditional lending standards, and Crestmark&#146;s loans are based in
large part on the value of and control over the borrower&#146;s collateral. Crestmark is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> bank and does not maintain a traditional retail branch or deposit network. Crestmark is primarily reliant
upon brokered deposits and internet listing services as sources of capital, which are supplemented by internet-based retail and commercial deposits. Given its specialized commercial banking focus, Crestmark currently has limited exposure to consumer
banking relationships. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017, Crestmark had total assets of approximately $1.2&nbsp;billion, total deposits of approximately $1.0&nbsp;billion, and total regulatory capital of approximately $127.5&nbsp;million. Crestmark
Bank&#146;s deposits are insured by the FDIC. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Overview </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark is a registered bank
holding company that provides working capital solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Crestmark Bank. Crestmark Bank is a Michigan-chartered banking institution that specializes in the provision of commercial lending and leasing products to
business customers throughout the United States. Crestmark Bank conducts its business through its headquarters in Troy, Michigan and a network of loan production offices in Los&nbsp;Angeles, California; Boynton Beach, Florida; Baton Rouge,
Louisiana; New York, New York; Franklin, Tennessee; and Toronto, Canada. Crestmark is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> bank and does not maintain a traditional retail branch or deposit network. Crestmark is primarily reliant upon
brokered deposits and internet listing services as sources of capital, which are supplemented by internet-based retail and commercial deposits. Its primary lending products are commercial asset-based loans, leases, and accounts receivable purchasing
(factoring), both discount and traditional. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The profitability of Crestmark&#146;s operations is influenced heavily by its net interest
income after provision for credit losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities less provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses is dependent on
changes in the financing receivables portfolio and Crestmark management&#146;s assessment of the collectability of those receivables, as well as current and future economic and market conditions. Additionally, Crestmark&#146;s net income is impacted
by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> income, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> expense, and income tax expense. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Critical Accounting Polices </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
consolidated financial statements of Crestmark are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistent with general practices within the depository institutions industry. The application of U.S. GAAP requires Crestmark management to make
certain estimates, assumptions, and judgments based on information available as of the date of its financial statements that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, actual
results could differ from the estimates, assumptions, and judgments reflected in the consolidated financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Critical
accounting estimates are those estimates that Crestmark management believes are the most important to the financial position and results of operations. The most significant accounting policies and estimates are presented in Note&nbsp;1 of the
audited consolidated financial statements of Crestmark included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. These consolidated financial statements and related footnotes provide </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. In determining the critical accounting estimates, Crestmark
considered the valuation techniques and inputs used and the sensitivity of these to the financial statement amounts, estimates, assumptions, and judgments underlying those amounts. Based on this assessment, Crestmark management determined that the
critical accounting policies are those related to the allowance for credit losses (including contingency reserves on factoring receivables), estimated residual values of leased equipment and income taxes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Allowance for Credit Losses </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
allowance for credit losses (&#147;ALLL&#148;) is established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense with credit exposures charged against the ALLL when Crestmark management believes that collectability of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance is an amount that Crestmark management believes will be appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans, leases and receivables based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans and prior loss and
recovery experience as appropriate under U.S. GAAP. The determination of the ALLL is inherently subjective as it requires significant management judgment based on factors that are susceptible to significant change. These judgments include estimates
associated with the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, actual historical loss experience, specific borrower circumstances and estimated collateral values, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions,
and other factors. For factoring receivables, Crestmark Bank withholds a contingency reserve which is the difference between the fair value of the invoice amount and the amount advanced. A contingency reserve is withheld for nonpayment of factored
receivables, service fees and other adjustments. Any shortfalls of the collection of the amortized cost of the factoring receivables are charged to the allowance for credit losses. For additional discussion of the allowance for credit losses, see
Notes&nbsp;1 and 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements of Crestmark included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Residual Value
of Direct Finance, Sales-Type, and Operating Leases</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lease residual values are estimated at lease inception and represent the
present value of the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination date of the lease. Realization of these residual values depends on many factors, including Crestmark management&#146;s use of estimates, assumptions, and judgment
to determine such values. Several other factors outside of Crestmark management&#146;s control may reduce the residual values realized, including general market conditions at the time of expiration of the lease, whether there has been technological
or economic obsolescence or unusual wear and tear on, or use of, the equipment and the cost of comparable equipment. To the extent the actual residual at termination of the lease is different than its carrying amount, a gain or loss will be recorded
on the subsequent settlement of the residual asset. If Crestmark Bank fails to realize the aggregate recorded residual values, the financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected. See Note 1, Note 4, and Note 5 of the &#147;Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements&#148; included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Income Taxes </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Income tax expense is based on Crestmark management&#146;s judgments and estimates regarding permanent differences in the treatment of specific
items of income and expense for financial statement and income tax purposes. These permanent differences result in an effective tax rate that differs from the federal statutory rate. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Crestmark based on Crestmark management&#146;s judgment and estimates regarding timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial statement and income tax purposes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark assesses the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be realized through the reduction or refund of taxes in future periods and
establishes a valuation allowance for those assets for which recovery is not more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets
and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is &#147;more likely than not&#148; that the
tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not
meeting the &#147;more likely than not&#148; test, no tax benefit is recorded. Crestmark management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Crestmark will be fully
realized, although there is no guarantee that those assets will be recognizable in future periods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark management also makes
certain interpretations of federal and state income tax laws for which the outcome of the tax position may not be certain. Uncertain tax positions are periodically evaluated and Crestmark management may establish tax reserves for benefits that may
not be realized. For additional discussion of income taxes, see Notes&nbsp;1 and 10 of the &#147;Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements&#148; included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P>

revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2014-09</FONT> is intended to clarify and converge the revenue recognition principles

financial assets over the estimated lifetime of expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The
standard includes the following core concepts in determining the expected credit loss estimate: (a)&nbsp;be based on an asset&#146;s amortized cost (including premiums or discounts, net deferred fees and costs, foreign exchange and fair value hedge
accounting adjustments), (b) reflect losses expected over the remaining contractual life of an asset (considering the effect of voluntary prepayments), (c) consider available relevant information about the estimated collectability of cash flows
(including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts), and (d)&nbsp;reflect the risk of loss, even when that risk is remote. </P>

an allowance will be recognized at acquisition through a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">gross-up</FONT> approach whereby an entity will record as the initial amortized cost the sum of (a)&nbsp;the purchase price and (b)&nbsp;an estimate of credit
losses as of the date of acquisition. In addition, the guidance also requires immediate recognition in earnings any subsequent changes, both favorable and unfavorable, in expected cash flows by adjusting this allowance. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Net Income </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark&#146;s net income
attributable to parent for 2017 was $29.1&nbsp;million, as compared to $15.5&nbsp;million in 2016, and $12.5&nbsp;million in 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
primary source of income for Crestmark is its net interest income, which increased $16.7&nbsp;million or 25.3% to $82.7&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $66.0&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. The net
interest margin remained relatively flat from 2016 to 2017. The net interest margin decreased from 10.18% to 9.44% from December&nbsp;31, 2015 to December&nbsp;31, 2016. The decrease in net interest margin was mainly due to a decrease in rates on
leases from 2015 to 2016 and increases in both volume and rate on interest bearing liabilities. The income on commercial and consumer loans, factoring receivables, and leases increased $18.0&nbsp;million primarily<B> </B>due to increased volume in
2017, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased $2.5&nbsp;million due to volume in 2017. Crestmark management believes that volume increases were primarily driven by strong activity in the broader economy and as a result of
Crestmark&#146;s efforts to invest in and expand its leasing business since 2014. In addition, rental income from equipment on operating leases was $45.9&nbsp;million in 2017 as compared to $34.4&nbsp;million in 2016 and $17.8&nbsp;million in 2015,
as a result of the factors described above. Offsetting the rental income from equipment on operating leases was depreciation on equipment on operating leases of $37.2&nbsp;million in 2017, $29.3&nbsp;million in 2016, and $16.4&nbsp;million in 2015.
The increase in depreciation is primarily attributable to the growth in Crestmark&#146;s leasing business. The impact of rental income from equipment on operating leases and related depreciation resulted in net earnings<B> </B>of $8.7&nbsp;million
in 2017, $5.1&nbsp;million in 2016, and $1.4&nbsp;million in 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Also contributing to the increase in net income for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 was a decrease in income tax expense in each such year over the prior year. Crestmark reported income tax (benefit) expense of approximately ($2.0) million in 2017, $2.6&nbsp;million in 2016, and
$5.4&nbsp;million in 2015. This resulted in an effective tax rate of (7%), 11%, and 25% for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The decline in the effective tax rate in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily the
result of an income tax benefit due to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-measurement</FONT> of the net deferred tax liability, as well as increases in energy related tax credits. This <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-measurement</FONT>
during 2017 approximated $5.7&nbsp;million and was based upon the enactment of a change in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% by the December&nbsp;22, 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (&#147;TCJA&#148;). Without this <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-measurement</FONT> adjustment reflected in income tax expense, the effective tax rate would have been 11.8% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. In addition,
Crestmark recognized $6.3&nbsp;million, $2.5&nbsp;million, and $1.3&nbsp;million in credits related to investments in energy-related assets for the three years ended December&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net interest income increased $16.7&nbsp;million to $82.7&nbsp;million for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2017 as compared to $66.0&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. The overall increase in net interest income was primarily due to a higher volume and yield on interest-earning assets. Factoring receivables interest
income increased $8.1&nbsp;million or 23.1% to $43.0&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $34.9&nbsp;million for the same period ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. In addition, commercial and consumer loans increased
$7.7&nbsp;million or 24.7% to $39.0&nbsp;million from $31.3&nbsp;million. Crestmark management believes these increases are the result of efforts by Crestmark over the period in question to expand its factoring and lending businesses, including
investments in personnel, and improved economic conditions for Crestmark&#146;s customer base. These increases were offset by a 30 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily due to increased volume and rates
associated with originated and brokered certificates of deposit. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

$63.5&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015. The overall increase in net interest income was primarily due to a higher volume of interest-earning assets, particularly commercial and consumer loans, factoring receivables and leases,
offset in part by a decrease in yield of 0.56% on interest-earning assets and an 18 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, due to competitive factors within the industry, lease yield decreased from 9.68% to
8.00% from 2015 to 2016. </P>

year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. This increase was nearly entirely due to the increase in rental income from equipment on operating leases. Rental income from equipment on operating leases
increased $11.5&nbsp;million due to the continued growth in average balances related to lease equipment. Average lease equipment balances increased $22.1&nbsp;million or 26.5% to $105.5&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2017 from
$83.3&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. In addition, depreciation expense on equipment on operating leases included in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> expense increased 26.8%, consistent with the increase
in rental income.<B> </B>The decrease in the net (loss) gain on sale of leases and off lease equipment of $1.0&nbsp;million was due to a recognized loss during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 of $2.5&nbsp;million from equipment returned and
repossessed from a borrower that was subsequently sold at a loss. Lastly, other income increased $1.5&nbsp;million or 209.0% due to building rental income charged to lessors from the purchase of the main office building of Crestmark in Troy,
Michigan in 2017 and an increase in late charges, over-advance and wire fees to loan customers throughout the year based on volume increases. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-interest</FONT> income increased $18.6&nbsp;million, or 66.2%, for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016 compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to the increases in rental income from equipment on operating leases and gains on sale of government guaranteed loans. Proceeds from
sales of government guaranteed loans increased from $28.7&nbsp;million in 2015 to $60.1&nbsp;million in 2016, resulting in an increase of $1.9&nbsp;million in the related gains on sale for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016 as compared to the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015. Rental income from equipment on operating leases increased $16.6&nbsp;million from 2015 to 2016 due to continued growth in average balances related to lease equipment. Average lease equipment balances increased
$42.9&nbsp;million or 105.9% to $83.3&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016 from $40.5&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2015. Crestmark management believes increases in rental income primarily result from Crestmark&#146;s
efforts to invest in and expand its leasing business since 2014. </P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-interest</FONT> expense increased $17.6&nbsp;million, or 20.5%, for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. The primary contributor to the change in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> expense relates to a $7.9&nbsp;million, or 26.8%, increase in
depreciation on equipment on operating leases that directly relates to the increase in demand and lease contracts entered into by Crestmark and its customers during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. As noted above in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> income discussion, average balances of leases outstanding increased approximately 26.5% for 2017 as compared to 2016, which directly correlates to the increase in depreciation expense on operating
leases. The second largest contributor to the increase in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-interest</FONT> expense relates to a $4.9&nbsp;million, or 12.3%, increase in salaries and employee benefits as the number of full-time equivalent
employees increased to 333 at December&nbsp;31, 2017 from 299 at December&nbsp;31, 2016. Lastly, servicing fee paid to minority partner increased by approximately $2.0&nbsp;million, or 115.5% for 2017 as compared to 2016. This fee represents amounts
paid to joint venture partners that service loans and leases on behalf of Crestmark whereby the minority partner is paid a servicing fee based on either balances outstanding or revenue generated throughout the year. </P>

depreciation on equipment on operating leases that directly relates to the increase in demand and lease contracts entered into by Crestmark and its customers during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. As noted above in the <FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For each of the years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2017, there has been a decline in Crestmark&#146;s effective tax rate
relative to the prior year. Crestmark reported income tax (benefit) expense of ($2.0) million in 2017, $2.6&nbsp;million in 2016, and $5.4&nbsp;million in 2015. This resulted in an effective tax rate of (7%), 11%, and 25% for the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The decline in the effective tax rate in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily the result of an income tax benefit recorded due to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-measurement</FONT> of
the net deferred tax liability. This <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-measurement</FONT> during 2017 approximated $5.7&nbsp;million and was based upon the enactment of a change in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% by the TCJA. In
addition, Crestmark has invested in energy related tax credits each of the past three years, which further reduced the effective tax rate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>FINANCIAL

December&nbsp;31, 2016, reflecting an allocation of excess funds to earning assets while maintaining access to liquidity. Loans, leases and receivables net of the allowance increased $205.5&nbsp;million, or 30.4%, to $882.2&nbsp;million at
December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $676.7&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2016. When comparing December&nbsp;31, 2017 and December&nbsp;31, 2016 loan types, the largest change was an increase in lease receivables of $82.2&nbsp;million to
$201.4&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $119.1&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2016. In addition, commercial loans increased $71.1&nbsp;million to $334.0&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $262.9&nbsp;million at
December&nbsp;31, 2016. Increases in both leases and commercial loans represented 74.6% of the increase in loans, leases and receivables, net of allowance for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. Lease equipment inventory increased by
$11.2&nbsp;million, or 124.6%, at December&nbsp;31, 2017 as compared to $9.0&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2016, in conjunction with the overall growth in Crestmark&#146;s leasing business. Lease equipment inventory consists of both equipment
inventory purchased by Crestmark Bank for future transfer to direct-financing, sales-type, and operating leases and equipment, net as well as lease equipment inventory returned to Crestmark Bank after lease termination. Premises, leasehold
improvements, net increased $17.6&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $1.0&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2016 as Crestmark purchased its headquarters building in Troy, Michigan for $15.6&nbsp;million in July 2017. The additional increase
was due to furniture and equipment purchases at various locations, due to growth at Crestmark. Lastly, acquired lease residuals decreased $11.6&nbsp;million to $2.9&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2017 from $14.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31,
2016. The decrease was due to the acquired assets coming off lease and Crestmark Bank liquidating or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-leasing</FONT> the assets. </P>

2017, federal funds purchased decreased $30.0&nbsp;million as Crestmark Bank increased its reliance on brokered and originated certificate of deposits for funding. Additionally, other borrowings increased $12.0&nbsp;million from December&nbsp;31,
2016 to December&nbsp;31, 2017 as Crestmark entered into an agreement with another financial institution in 2017 to provide additional liquidity and capital for Crestmark Bancorp, Inc. and Crestmark Bank to continue and support loan and lease

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark maintains a diversified securities portfolio, which includes obligations of U.S. treasury and
federal agency, municipal bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, and corporate securities. Crestmark regularly evaluates asset/liability management needs and attempts to maintain a portfolio structure that provides sufficient liquidity and
cash flow. Crestmark believes that the unrealized losses on securities available for sale are temporary in nature and are expected to be recovered within a reasonable time period. Crestmark has the ability to hold securities with unrealized losses
to maturity or until such time as the unrealized losses reverse. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The portfolio of securities available for sale is reviewed quarterly for
impairment in value. In performing this review, Crestmark management considers (1)&nbsp;the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2)&nbsp;the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3)&nbsp;the
impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security and (4)&nbsp;an assessment of whether Crestmark intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that Crestmark will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss
position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For securities that do not meet these recovery criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other
factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Available for sale investment securities totaled approximately 2% of
Crestmark&#146;s total assets at December&nbsp;31, 2017. Crestmark management believes that the maturities of those investment securities is not material to the balance sheet nor significant to an understanding of Crestmark&#146;s financial
condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Loan Portfolio </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Loans are
the largest component of Crestmark&#146;s interest-earning assets. The proper management of credit and market risk inherent in the loan portfolio is critical to Crestmark&#146;s financial well-being. To control these risks, Crestmark has adopted
strict underwriting standards which include established and authorized credit limits, attentive portfolio management, use of lock box arrangements, verification of receivables and inventory, and in many instances, Crestmark receiving and controlling
the borrowers&#146; cash receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark also monitors and limits loan concentrations to specific industries. While Crestmark&#146;s
customers are diversified with respect to industry, as of December&nbsp;31, 2017 approximately 35% of loans, leases and receivables were to customers in the truck transportation, merchant wholesalers and durable goods, administrative support
services, and support activities for transportation. There were no concentrations greater than 10% of total loans that are not disclosed as a separate category in the following table. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consumer loans: Crestmark&#146;s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of loans to
individuals for medical services received. The majority of these loans are guaranteed by the hospital providing the service to the debtor and this guarantee serves to reduce credit risk as the guarantors agree to repurchase severely delinquent
loans. Credit risk is minimized on these loans based on the guarantor&#146;s repurchase agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Leases: Crestmark&#146;s lease
portfolio is primarily comprised of leases on high-tech equipment, information systems hardware, capital equipment and durable goods, and vehicles such as automobiles and tractors. Beginning in 2016, Crestmark shifted its focus to middle market
companies specializing in capital equipment and durable goods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Factoring receivables: Crestmark&#146;s factoring clients provide detailed
inventory, accounts receivable, and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">work-in-process</FONT></FONT> reports for lending arrangements. With these loans, Crestmark withholds a contingency reserve which is the difference
between the fair value of the invoice amount and the amount advanced. This reserve is withheld for nonpayment of factored receivables, service fees and other adjustments. </P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-accrual</FONT> loans and loans 90 days or greater past due but still accruing. Crestmark management continuously monitors the loans, leases and receivables for credit risk by analyzing relevant information about
the borrower&#146;s ability to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment performance, repayment probability based on the liquidation value of the collateral pledged, credit documentation, and current economic
trends and other relevant factors. While improvements in the overall economy have been evident in the last five years, Crestmark management believes future performance of the portfolio may be limited by macroeconomic events such as continued
increases to interest rates that could adversely affect Crestmark&#146;s totals for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-performing</FONT> assets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Loans, leases and receivables that may not be able to service the debt instruments in accordance with the loan agreements are placed under
close management supervision. These loans are assessed for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-accrual</FONT> status and adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. Should a loan be placed on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-accrual</FONT>
status, any interest previously accrued but not yet collected is reversed against interest income in the current year. Payments received on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-accrual</FONT> loans are generally accounted for on the cash-basis or
cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowers that are unable to have their loan returned to accrual
status generally proceed toward foreclosure and ultimate repossession of collateral. These assets are initially recorded at the fair value, less costs to sell, when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. The valuation of repossessed assets is
evaluated regularly to ensure the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value. If the fair value of the asset declines, a valuation allowance is recorded in the consolidated statement of income. </P>

substandard loans, leases and receivables totaled $213.6&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2017, up from $132.6&nbsp;million, or 61.0%, at December&nbsp;31, 2016. The primary reason for this increase was the inclusion of $56.4&nbsp;million of leases
in special mention due to naturally occurring growth in the lease portfolio as well as Crestmark&#146;s efforts to diversify from Fortune 1000 technology sector leases to more collateral reliant, equipment-based leases to middle market customers.
Crestmark Equipment Finance (&#147;CEF&#148;) experienced the majority of the growth in lease balances in 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark&#146;s internal
monitoring mechanism does not reflect any specific weakness in these lease transactions but is used to monitor and identify this new customer base. These equipment leases originated at CEF have been underwritten to standards that would result in a
pass classification in the Corporation&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-lease</FONT> portfolio. Performance is monitored and measured by the same qualifying pass standards. Crestmark management has implemented a rigorous credit monitoring
program for all loans and leases including the use of lock box agreements with borrowers to control customer cash receipts, attentive portfolio management, and established credit limits for borrowers. All special mention loans and leases were
performing as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Special mention and substandard loans, leases and receivables decreased $5.8&nbsp;million, or
4.2%, from $138.4&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2015 to $132.6&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2016. This decrease was attributable to the continued positive economic growth noted in Crestmark&#146;s targeted industries of lending focus. </P>

viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by its management of credit risk. Loans represent Crestmark&#146;s single largest concentration of risk. The allowance for credit losses is Crestmark&#146;s estimation of incurred
losses within the existing loan and lease portfolio. Crestmark allocates the allowance for credit losses throughout the loan and lease portfolio based on its assessment of the underlying risks associated with each loan segment. Crestmark&#146;s
assessments include allocations based on specific impairment valuation allowances, historical charge-offs, internally assigned credit risk ratings, and past due and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-accrual</FONT> balances. A portion of the
allowance for credit losses is not allocated to any one loan segment, but is instead a reflection of other qualitative risks that reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating
specific and general losses in the portfolio. </P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net charge-offs of $7.1&nbsp;million were recorded during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 compared to
net charge-offs of $3.8&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. During 2017, following several years of favorable <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">charge-off</FONT> performance, Crestmark Bank incurred higher than average historical <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">charge-off</FONT> activity as a result of three large accounts; one as a result of customer fraud and two from the inherent risk associated with these credits. These three charge-offs in 2017 equated to approximately 70%
of the total charge-offs for the year. As Crestmark Bank asset size increases, the average loan and lease dollar amount continues to increase as well for certain segments of the portfolio. Crestmark Bank continues to diversify and expand its
portfolio into larger commercial loans secured by inventory across the United States. These loans and leases are inherently more risky, due to the collateral securing these credits. As credits do experience charge-offs, and the corresponding average
loan size increases, the charge-offs will tend to increase as well. However, the higher yields that are earned by Crestmark Bank on the leases are used to offset and compensate for the additional risk on these credits. Crestmark management believes
the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.92% for fiscal year 2017 is well-within acceptable parameters. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A provision for credit

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In each period, the provision for loan losses in Crestmark&#146;s statement of operations is derived from the
combination of an estimate by Crestmark of loan and lease losses that occurred during such period and the ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of losses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The provision for credit losses increases the allowance for credit losses, a valuation account which appears on Crestmark&#146;s consolidated
statements of condition. As the specific customer and amount of a loan loss is confirmed, including by gathering additional information and taking collateral in full or partial settlement of the loan, and bankruptcy of the borrower, the loan is
charged off, reducing the allowance for loan losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, Crestmark Bank is able to collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral worth more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At December&nbsp;31, 2017, the allowance for credit losses of $10.4&nbsp;million consisted of general reserves of $9.2&nbsp;million and
specific reserves on $1.2&nbsp;million of individually evaluated impaired loans of $19.3&nbsp;million. At December&nbsp;31, 2016, the allowance for credit losses of $10.2&nbsp;million consisted of general reserves of $8.9&nbsp;million and specific
reserves on $1.3&nbsp;million of individually evaluated impaired loans of $24.8. For further discussion on the allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses, see Note 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements of Crestmark included
in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although Crestmark management believes the general and specific components of the allowance for
credit losses have been measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual losses are ultimately dependent upon future events and, as such, further provision for credit losses may become necessary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Source of Funds </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark&#146;s ability
to fund operations, meet depositor withdrawals, meet loan demand, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments depends on the cash flows generated from operations. Certificates of deposits, borrowings, loan and investment repayments and
payments, and proceeds from the sale of securities and loans are the primary sources of funds for Crestmark. Crestmark continually monitors its cash position and borrowing capacity as part of its liquidity management process. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and through various correspondent banks in the form of federal funds
purchased lines of credit. These funding sources require Crestmark to pledge assets, typically in the form of available for sale securities or loans as collateral. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017, Crestmark had available lines of credit of
$152.0&nbsp;million. </P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At December&nbsp;31, 2017 and December&nbsp;31, 2016, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized Crestmark
Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For additional information regarding Crestmark

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark&#146;s primary market risks are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. There is limited foreign exchange risk within Crestmark&#146;s
loan portfolio. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or commodity prices would not have a significant impact on Crestmark&#146;s interest income or cash flows. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crestmark, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in
interest rates. Crestmark&#146;s net income is significantly dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">interest-earning</FONT> assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net
interest income. Similarly, when <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">interest-earning</FONT> assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net income. Interest rate risk
(&#147;IRR&#148;) is the fundamental method by which financial institutions earn income and create shareholder value. Excessive exposure to IRR could pose a significant risk to Crestmark Bank&#146;s earnings and capital. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, Crestmark management closely
monitors Crestmark&#146;s interest rate risk. One component of the monitoring process is performing a net interest income analysis. A net interest income analysis measures the change in net interest income over a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-year</FONT> period in the event of a hypothetical change in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of change in net interest income in the event of a sudden and sustained increase or decrease in
increments of 100 basis points. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Key assumptions in the simulation analysis include prepayments on loans, probable calls of investment
securities, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and loan pricing, deposit sensitivity, and customer preferences. These assumptions are inherently uncertain as they are subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment. The
assumptions used in the interest rate sensitivity analysis are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulations cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the related changes in net interest income. Actual results will
differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The table below presents projected changes in net interest income for the various rate shock levels at December&nbsp;31, 2017 and

paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice or would reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. In addition, under the Dodd-Frank Act
and Federal Reserve regulations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. Under these requirements, the
holding company may be required to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank. This additional capital may be required at times when the holding company may not have the resources to provide such support. The board of
directors may fix a record date, which shall not be more than 60 days prior to the date on which a dividend is to be paid, for determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of such dividend, provided that if no record date is fixed by the
board of directors in connection with the declaration of a dividend, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts a resolution declaring such dividend. </P>

Reserve. The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by financial institution holding companies, which expresses its view that such companies should pay cash dividends only to the extent that its net income for
the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the holding company&#146;s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The Federal Reserve also indicated that it
would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. Furthermore, a holding company may be prohibited from paying any dividends if the holding company&#146;s bank subsidiary is not adequately
capitalized. Delaware law also imposes restrictions on the payment of dividends that may prohibit Meta from paying dividends under certain circumstances.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Dividend Restrictions-MetaBank</I>.&nbsp;Federal regulations govern the permissibility of capital distributions by MetaBank, as a federal
savings association. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, savings associations that are part of a savings and loan holding company structure must now file a notice of a declaration of a dividend with the Federal Reserve at least 30 days before the
proposed dividend declaration by MetaBank&#146;s board of directors. In the case of cash dividends, OCC regulations require that federal savings associations that are subsidiaries of a stock savings and loan holding company must file an
informational copy of that notice with the OCC at the same time the notice is filed with the Federal Reserve. OCC regulations further set forth the circumstances under which a federal savings association is required to submit an application or
notice before it may make a capital distribution. Each of the Federal Reserve and OCC have primary reviewing responsibility for the applications or notices required to be submitted to them by savings associations relating to a proposed distribution.
The OCC&#146;s regulations set forth separate, enumerated factors for a savings bank to determine whether it must file a notice or an application in connection with a proposed capital distribution. Under current OCC regulations, MetaBank is also
restricted from paying dividends on its stock if such dividends would cause its regulatory capital to fall below the amount required for the liquidation account established to provide a limited priority claim to the assets of MetaBank to qualifying
depositors at March&nbsp;31, 1992. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Unissued Stock</I>. The authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Meta common stock are

its majority owned subsidiaries, together referred to as &#147;the Corporation&#148; after the elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. Crestmark Bank (the &#147;Bank&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of CBI, owns 100% of Crestmark
Financial Corporation (CFC), Crestmark Partner Services, Inc., Crestmark Commercial Capital Lending, LLC, Crestmark TPG, LLC, Crestmark Westgate, LLC, Crestmark Equipment Finance, Inc.(CEF), and 80% of CM HELP, LLC, Capital Equipment Solutions, LLC,
CM TFS, LLC, CM Sterling, CM Southgate and CM Southgate II. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation provides working capital solutions through the Bank, which is headquartered
in Troy, Michigan, with regional offices in Boynton Beach, Florida; Franklin, Tennessee; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; New York City, New York; Los Angeles, California; and Canada. The Bank also has sales production offices in various locations outside
its regional offices. The Bank is a cashless bank and primarily derives its funding from certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are commercial asset based loans, leases, and accounts receivable purchasing (factoring) both discount and
traditional. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2004, the Bank entered into a venture with H.E.L.P. Financial Corporation (HELP), a Michigan hospital debt financing institution, to form
CM HELP, LLC. The Bank holds an 80% majority interest in the entity and HELP owns 20%. The purpose of the transaction was to increase both investors&#146; hospital financing portfolios. As part of the arrangement, HELP collects the payments on the
loans and remits the Bank&#146;s portion via a correspondent bank lockbox. HELP and the Bank share equally in the profits from the venture. In 2011, the Bank entered into a venture, Capital Equipment Solutions, LLC, which originates equipment term
loans. The Bank owns an 80% interest in the entity and shares profit or loss equally with its venture partners. In 2012, the Bank entered into three ventures, CM TFS, LLC, which originates high-tech equipment leases, CM Sterling which originates
smaller-dollar factoring relationships, and CM Southgate which originates leases on automobiles, tractors, and tractor trailers. The Bank owns an 80% interest in each venture and shares profit or loss with its venture partners equally. In 2014, the
Bank entered into a venture, CM Southgate II, which originates leases on automobiles, tractors, and tractor trailers. The Bank owns an 80% interest in the venture and shares profit or loss with its partners equally. During 2017, CM Southgate was
liquidated and any remaining assets were merged into CM Southgate II, ownership and shares of profit or loss remains unchanged. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Use of Estimates</U>:
To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Cash Flows</U>:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for loans, leases and receivables, leasehold improvements and equipment transactions,
interest-bearing deposit transactions and federal funds purchased. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Subsequent Events</U>: The Corporation has evaluated subsequent events for
recognition and disclosure through March&nbsp;19, 2018 which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Securities
Available for Sale</U>: Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income
(loss), net of income tax expense. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities available for sale are recorded in
noninterest income on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (&#147;OTTI&#148;) on at least a
quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the
financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its
amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment in the consolidated statements of income. For securities
available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the consolidated statements of income and 2) OTTI related
to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. In 2017, 2016 and 2015, there
were no other-than-temporary impairment recorded. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Loans Originated for Sale:</U> The Corporation originates commercial loans under government programs
overseen by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and sells the guaranteed portion in the secondary market. Gains or losses on sales are recorded in gain on sale of government
guaranteed loans in the consolidated statements of income. Loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments to investors. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016, the
Bank serviced $96,034,171 and $71,985,756, respectively in outstanding principal balance of loans for others. The value of originated servicing rights at <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">year-end</FONT> 2017 and 2016 was immaterial to the
Corporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Loans</U>: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported
at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan, lease and receivables fees and costs and an allowance for credit losses. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan, lease and
receivables fees and costs over the loan term using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Accounts Receivable Factoring</U>: The
Corporation withholds a contingency reserve which is the difference between the fair value of the invoice amount and the amount advanced. A contingency reserve is withheld for nonpayment of factored receivables, service fees and other adjustments.
Interest income on factored receivables is recognized according to the terms set forth in each factoring agreement. Typically, factoring service fee revenue is recognized into income over specified time periods, until the receivable is paid. Revenue
is calculated on the gross receivable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When the factored receivable is collected, the Corporation remits to its client the contingency reserve that was
withheld at the date of purchase, less recognized service fees and other adjustments. Shortfalls that cannot be recouped from the client are charged to the allowance for credit losses. The Corporation may elect to alter the foregoing fee structure
if the specific conditions warrant such action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Leases:</U> The Corporation accounts for each lease by either the direct financing, sales-type, or
operating method (hereinafter referred to as &#147;accounting methods&#148;). Revenue, cost, and resulting profit are recognized during all of the periods within the lease term. The allocation of profit among the periods within a lease term will
vary depending on which accounting method is applied. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For all types of leases, the determination of profit considers the estimated fair market value of

lease. If subsequent to the date a lease is entered into, the Corporation determines that the residual will be less than the amounts originally estimated, a provision for write-downs of residuals
will be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. There were no residual write downs in 2017, 2016 or 2015. To the extent the actual residual at termination of the lease is different from its carrying amount, a gain or loss will be recorded
on the subsequent settlement of the residual asset. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Direct Financing and Sales-Type Leases:</U> These leases transfer substantially all of the
benefits and risks of equipment ownership to the lessee. Profit recognition under these two accounting methods is similar, except that the sales-type method recognizes dealer profit at inception. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the sales-type method, dealer profit is recognized at lease inception by recording revenue and costs. Revenue consists of the present value of the
minimum lease payments. Cost consists of the equipment&#146;s carrying value plus initial direct costs, less the present value of its estimated residual value. Present value is determined using the interest rate implicit in the lease. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Direct financing and sales-type leases are carried at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, including guaranteed residual values, plus the
present value of the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease term. Unearned income represents the difference between the gross future minimum lease payments receivable plus estimated residual values and the
carrying value of direct financing and sales-type leases. In each period, unearned income is amortized and financing income is recognized as a constant percentage return based on the lease&#146;s carrying value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Equipment on Operating Leases:</U> Operating lease revenue consists of periodic payments on equipment rentals. The cost of equipment is recorded as leased
assets and is depreciated on a straight-line method over the lease term to the Corporation&#146;s estimate of the fair market value of the equipment at lease termination. Operating lease revenue and depreciation expense are recorded on a
straight-line method. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Lease Equipment Sales:</U> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Off-lease</FONT> sales represents revenue from the sale of equipment
previously on lease. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Off-lease</FONT> sales consist of both sales in place to the existing lessee and sales to third parties for equipment returned off lease. Sale of equipment off lease is recorded when title is
transferred. Sale of equipment acquired for sale is recorded when shipped to the customer. Revenue and costs associated with the sale of lease equipment is included in noninterest income and noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of
income. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Acquired Lease Residuals:</U> The Corporation acquired a portfolio of lease residual assets in 2014. The balance at the acquisition was
$59,025,615 which was the estimated fair value of the leased assets at the termination of existing direct financing and sales-type or operating leases. Fair value was based on estimated post-lease cash flows including post-lease rents, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-lease</FONT> agreements and proceeds from the sale of the leased assets discounted to estimate fair value. Management evaluates acquired lease residuals for impairment with any impairment recorded as a charge to income
in the consolidated statements of income. During 2016, a $600,000 impairment charge was recorded. There was no impairment charge recorded in 2017 or 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Income Recognition</U>: Recognition of income on loans, leases and receivables is generally discontinued at the time the contract is 90 days delinquent
unless the loan, lease or receivable is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the contract. In all cases, income recognition ceases and loans, leases or receivables are placed on nonaccrual
or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">charged-off</FONT> at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. </P>

interest income. Interest received on such loans, leases and receivables is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans, leases and receivables are returned to accrual status when all the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Concentrations of Credit Risk:</U>
Most of the Corporation&#146;s customers are drawn from throughout the United States. However, customers in 6 states; Texas, Michigan, California, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio comprise 65% of total loans, leases and receivables at year end 2017 with
the largest state concentration being 17% in the state of Texas. The Corporation&#146;s customers are diversified with respect to industry but 35% of loans, leases and receivables outstanding at year end 2017 are to customers in the truck
transportation, merchant wholesalers and durable goods, administrative support services, and support activities for transportation. Accordingly, the Corporation&#146;s exposure to credit risk is affected by changes in the economy affecting the
geographic locations and industries within which its customers operate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Allowance for Credit Losses</U>: The allowance for credit losses is a
valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses related to loans, leases and receivables, increased by the provision for credit losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using
past loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, leases
and receivables, but the entire allowance is available for any loan, lease or receivable that, in management&#146;s judgment, should be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">charged-off.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan, lease or receivable balance is confirmed. The allowance
consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans, leases or receivables that are individually classified as impaired. A loan, lease or receivable is impaired when full payment under the terms of the agreement is
not expected. If a loan, lease or receivable is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan, lease or receivable is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the asset&#146;s existing rate or at
the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, leases and
receivables such as consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures unless classified as a troubled debt restructuring. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are loans, leases or receivables, the terms of which have been modified and a concession granted to debtors in financial
difficulty. TDRs are impaired and are measured for impairment based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the contract&#146;s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be collateral dependent, impairment is measured
based upon the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses on loans individually identified as
impaired. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The general component covers all other loans, leases and receivables and is based on past loss experience adjusted for current factors that
impact credit risk including consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, leases and receivables; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans, leases and
receivables; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Commercial Loans</I>: The Corporation&#146;s commercial loans are primarily asset based lending agreements secured by debtor&#146;s
short-term assets such as inventory, accounts receivable and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">work-in-process.</FONT></FONT> Commercial loans may also be secured by real estate and equipment. Credit risk is managed
through standardized loan policies, established and authorized credit limits, attentive portfolio management and the use of lock box agreements and similar arrangements which result in the Corporation receiving and controlling the debtor&#146;s cash
receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Consumer Loans</I>: The Corporation&#146;s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of loans to individuals obligated
to hospitals for medical services received. These loans are originated through CM HELP, LLC, one of the Corporation&#146;s joint ventures. The majority of these loans are guaranteed by the hospital providing the service to the debtor and this
guarantee serves to reduce credit risk as the guarantors agree to repurchase severely delinquent loans. The performance of the loans is affected by general economic conditions and the Corporation&#146;s risk is affected by the financial strength of
the guaranteeing entities as well as the individual debtors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Factoring Receivables</I>: The Corporation&#146;s factoring clients are
diversified as to industry and geography. Credit risk is managed by standardized advance policies, established and authorized credit limits, verification of receivables, attentive portfolio management and the use of lock box agreements and similar
arrangements which result in the Corporation receiving and controlling the client&#146;s cash receipts. In addition, clients generally guarantee the payment of purchased accounts receivable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Leases</I>: The Corporation&#146;s lease portfolio is primarily comprised of leases on high-tech equipment, information systems hardware,
capital equipment and durable goods, and vehicles such as automobiles and tractors. Starting in 2016, the Corporation through its leasing subsidiary CEF, shifted its emphasis on leases for high-tech equipment to Fortune 1,000 and higher investment
grade companies to an emphasis on leases for capital equipment and durable goods to qualified middle market companies. Credit risk is managed through monitoring of the lessee&#146;s business operations as repayment is typically dependent on the cash
flow of the lessee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lease residuals (or the value of the leased asset after the completion of the lease term) also represent an area of
risk although changes in the value of lease residuals are not specifically reserved for in the allowance for credit losses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Lease Equipment
Inventory:</U> Inventory consists of equipment purchased by the Corporation for future transfer to direct financing and sales-type or operating leases which is recorded at cost. In addition, lease equipment inventory includes lease equipment
returned to the Corporation after termination of a lease. Equipment returned after lease termination is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value at the lease termination date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Repossessed Assets</U>: Assets acquired through or instead of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value, less cost to sell, when acquired,
establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Costs after acquisition are expensed in the consolidated statements of income. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017 the
Corporation had approximately $2,087,000&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of repossessed assets which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. There were approximately $3,855,000 of repossessed assets in 2016. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Transfers of Financial Assets</U>: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control
over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage
of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Premises, leasehold Improvements and Equipment</U>: Land is carried at cost. Building, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the asset useful lives on a straight-line basis, or over the terms of the lease, if shorter, for leasehold improvements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Goodwill</U>:<B> </B>Goodwill resulting from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of
businesses acquired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Corporation performed its impairment evaluation as of
September&nbsp;30, 2017. If the impaired fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. No goodwill impairment was recognized during the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016 or 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Long-Term Assets</U>:<B> </B>Leasehold improvements and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for
impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</U>: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as
more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular
items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Stock-Based Compensation</U>: Compensation cost is
recognized for stock options issued to employees, based on the fair value of these options at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service
period, generally defined as the vesting period. For options with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire option. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2016, the Corporation adopted ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2016-09</FONT> which amended existing guidance to simplify the accounting for
share-based payment award transactions, including: (a)&nbsp;recording the income tax consequences of share based award transactions in current period tax expense as opposed to capital; (b)&nbsp;classification of awards as either equity or
liabilities; (c)&nbsp;classification on the statement of cash flows; and (d)&nbsp;policy election to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur. The amendments are effective for
annual periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017, however early adoption is permitted. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Income Taxes</U>: Income tax expense is the total of the
current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets
and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is &#147;more likely than not&#148; that the tax
position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not
meeting the &#147;more likely than not&#148; test, no tax benefit is recorded. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax
matters in income tax expense. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Loan Commitment and Related Financial Instruments</U>: Financial instruments include
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-balance-sheet</FONT> credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss,
before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Comprehensive Income</U>:
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of income tax expense and foreign currency translation
adjustments, net of income tax (expense) benefit, which are also recognized as separate components of equity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Loss Contingencies</U>: Loss
contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe
there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Canadian Activity</U>: The Corporation engages
in cross-border activity by serving clients in Canada, resulting in transactions being originated and settled in Canadian dollars instead of US dollars. At <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">year-end</FONT> 2017 and 2016, approximately $5,413,000 and
$5,417,000 (US) of the Corporation&#146;s loans, leases and factoring receivables were originated in and will be settled with Canadian dollars. In addition, at <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">year-end</FONT> 2017 and 2016, the Corporation had
approximately $1,776,000 and $3,390,000 (US) on deposit in a Canadian financial institution in Canadian dollars. These transactions subject the Corporation to foreign currency risk. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Earnings per Share:</U> Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP
shares are considered outstanding for this computation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per share includes dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all
stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuances of the financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Dividend Restriction</U>: Banking regulations require
maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Reclassifications</U>: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on

$2,200,000. The Corporation acquired assets with approximate fair values of $1,200,000, resulting in $1,000,000 of goodwill. The Corporation established a &#147;Holdback&#148; from the purchase price totaling $220,000 to indemnify the Corporation
for losses incurred due to breaches or inaccuracies in any representation, warranty or covenant offered by the Seller. To date no claims have been made against the Holdback account. The balance remaining in the Holdback account will be paid to the
Seller on the one year anniversary of the purchase agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation has included the financial results of Allstate in its consolidated

the consideration exchanged and the liabilities assumed, which were negligible, as compared to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill resulted due to Allstate&#146;s recognized market presence in the small ticket leasing market and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation categorizes loans, leases and receivables into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their
debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, and repayment probability based on the liquidation value of the collateral pledged, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other
factors. The Corporation analyzes loans, leases and receivables individually by classifying the loans, leases and receivables based on credit risk. This analysis includes commercial loans, leases and factoring receivables. This analysis is performed
continuously and formally reported on a monthly basis. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Special
Mention. </B>Loans, leases and receivables classified as special mention have certain characteristics that deserve management&#146;s closer attention.&nbsp;This can include specific weaknesses identified in a specific account that may result in
deterioration of the repayment prospects for the account. Special mention accounts also identify general characteristics that management wants to monitor in more detail, such as industry segment, geographic location or type of account. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Substandard. </B>Loans, leases and receivables classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans, leases and receivables so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that
the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Doubtful.</B> Loans, leases and receivables classified as

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation maintains a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees. Employees who are 21 years or older are eligible. Employees may elect to
contribute to the plan, subject to statutory maximum limits. The Corporation&#146;s discretionary matching contributions were approximately $331,000, $293,000 and $288,000 for the years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2010 with eligibility requirements similar to the 401(k) plan. Annual contributions are
discretionary and determined by the Board of Directors. The ESOP will primarily invest in the Corporation&#146;s common stock acquired either from the Corporation or on the open market with a valuation determined annually by a qualified independent
appraiser. Upon retirement or separation, a participant or beneficiary may elect to receive an immediate lump sum cash distribution, but the ESOP may elect to make the distribution, attributable to stock value over a longer period, generally not to
exceed 5 years. A participant may also elect to receive common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This stock is subject to a &#147;put&#148; option for a limited period of time and
may be sold back to the ESOP or the Corporation at the current fair value and, further, provides the Corporation a right of first refusal if the participant desires to sell the stock after the expiration of the put period. There was no ESOP expense
in 2017 and no contribution made. ESOP expense was $1,250,000 and $1,000,000 for 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016 the ESOP held 90,933 and 82,177 shares of stock. Substantially all of the stock has been allocated to
participants at the end of both years. Dividends paid on shares are allocated to a participant based on their shares held. <B></B>The stock valuation received during 2017 indicated a value of $127 per share. As discussed in Note 19, Crestmark has
entered into a merger agreement with Meta Financial Group, Inc. The terms of the proposed merger agreement are that each share of Crestmark common stock will be automatically converted to 2.65 shares of common stock of Meta Bank which had a value of
$91.35 at the close of business on January&nbsp;8, 2018. Pursuant to the merger agreement the Corporation has entered into, the common stock held by ESOP participants is expected to be exchanged for shares of Meta Financial Group, Inc. Employees
will have the option to liquidate their shares or transfer them to other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-taxable</FONT> plans. See additional details in Note 19. </P>

for up to 180,000 shares of common stock. Under the 1998 Stock Option Plan for Directors, the Corporation is authorized to grant options to directors for up to 70,000 shares of common stock. Under the Director plan, all of the options are vested two
years after the date of grant. Under the Employee plan, options are vested over a 5 year period with 40% of the options vesting two years after the date of grant and an additional 20% vesting in each subsequent year. All options expire 10 years
after the date of the grant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Corporation&#146;s common stock on the
date of grant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses
the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Corporation&#146;s common stock. The Corporation uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The
expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the
expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Upon exercise, shares will be issued from the Corporation&#146;s authorized, but unissued shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date. </P>

and certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-balance-sheet</FONT> items calculated under regulatory accounting practice. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet capital
requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision&#146;s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Bank on January&nbsp;1, 2015 with full compliance
with all of the requirements including a capital conservation buffer being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January&nbsp;1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.00% in 2015 to 2.50% by 2019. The
net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of December&nbsp;31, 2017, the Corporation and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical
technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities&#146; relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2). The
Corporation did not have any Level&nbsp;3 fair value measurements for securities available for sale at December&nbsp;31, 2017 or 2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fair value of
impaired loans, leases and receivables with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are generally based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The value of the underlying collateral, generally accounts receivable,
is adjusted to consider the probability of collection and expense to be incurred during the collection process. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level&nbsp;3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans, leases, and receivables are generally performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial real
estate properties and equipment) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Corporation. Values of certain types of equipment are determined by reference to trade publications. Management reviews the assumptions and
approaches utilized in the appraisal and will discount a property&#146;s or equipment&#146;s appraised or estimated values to account for a number of factors including but not limited to the cost of liquidating the collateral, the age of the
appraisal, observable deterioration since the appraisal, or other factors unique to the property or equipment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Assets and Liabilities Measured on a

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, federal funds purchased, and variable rate
loans, leases and receivables and interest bearing deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For loans, leases and receivables and interest-bearing deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash
flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. The methods used to determine the fair value of loans, leases and receivables do not necessarily represent an exit price. Fair value of the Corporations subordinated
debt approximates book value as a result of the variable interest rate paid which resets to a market rate on a regular basis. The fair value of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recourse</FONT> notes payable is based on current rates for similar
financing. The fair value of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-balance-sheet</FONT> items is not considered material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 17 - PREFERRED STOCK

of which is contingent on the closing of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for rendering this opinion, which opinion fee will be credited in full towards the transaction fee which will become payable to Sandler O&#146;Neill on the day of
closing of the Merger. Company has also agreed to indemnify us against certain claims and liabilities arising out of our engagement and to reimburse us for certain of our

date of this opinion. In the two years preceding the date hereof we have provided certain investment banking services to, and received investment banking fees from, Buyer and Buyer Bank. Most recently, Sandler O&#146;Neill acted as sole bookrunner
in connection with Buyer&#146;s offer and sale of subordinated debt, which transaction occurred in August 2016. In addition, Sandler O&#146;Neill acted as financial advisor to Buyer Bank in connection with its acquisition of Specialty Consumer
Services LP, which transaction closed in December 2016, as well as Buyer Bank&#146;s acquisition of EPS Financial, LLC, which transaction closed in November 2016. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities
