2017. The Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the Company&#146;s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on January&nbsp;22, 2018 (the &#147;Annual Meeting&#148;). The Company is making the information contained in this supplement to the
Proxy Statement (this &#147;Supplement&#148;) available to supplement information provided under Proposal 3 (Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock from 15 Million to 30 Million

shares and revoke proxies already cast is available in the Proxy Statement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If any stockholder has any questions about the Annual Meeting or needs

things, a proposal to approve an amendment to Article Fourth of the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Charter Amendment&#148;), which would increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of the Company (the &#147;Company Common Stock&#148;) to 30&nbsp;million shares from 15&nbsp;million shares. As previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement, as of November&nbsp;24, 2017, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the
&#147;Record Date&#148;), (i) 9,685,398 shares of Company Common Stock were issued (including 18,936 shares of Company Common Stock held in treasury) and 9,666,462 shares were outstanding; and (ii) 513,355 shares of Company Common Stock had been
reserved for issuance under the Company&#146;s equity compensation plans, leaving a balance of 4,801,247 shares of Company Common Stock authorized and unissued and not reserved for any specific purpose. As disclosed under Proposal 3 in the Proxy
Statement, the Company and the Company&#146;s Board of Directors are seeking stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment in order to maintain the Company&#146;s flexibility to use capital stock for various purposes, including capital raising,
providing equity incentives to directors and employees to attract and retain talented personnel, paying stock dividends or effecting stock splits, expanding the Company&#146;s business through acquisitions or other strategic transactions involving
the issuance of shares, including mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, and other general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;9, 2018,

Crestmark will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity, and, immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of a separate merger agreement between MetaBank and Crestmark Bank, Crestmark Bank will merge with and into

of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, following the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, based upon the shares of Crestmark Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the Merger
Agreement, the Company would issue approximately 3.3&nbsp;million Merger Shares to the shareholders of Crestmark. Accordingly, as of the Record Date and giving pro forma effect to the closing of the Merger, the Company would have had approximately
1.5&nbsp;million shares of Company Common Stock authorized and unissued and not reserved for any specific purpose. If Company stockholders do not approve and adopt the proposed Charter Amendment and the Merger is consummated, the Company would have
significantly less flexibility to use Company Common Stock for the purposes described in the Proxy Statement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional information regarding the Merger
