BRIDGE BANCORP, INC. Disclaimers (continued) Risks Relating to the Coronavirus (COVID - 19) Outbreak In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID - 19) outbreak a pandemic and the United States decla red a national emergency. Global and national health concerns relating to the coronavirus outbreak have been weighing on the local, national and global econom ic environments, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous mea sur es to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures hav e n ot only negatively impacted consumer and business spending habits, they have also adversely impacted and may further impact Dime and Bridge's workforces and operations and the operations of their customers , vendors and business partners. These measures may remain in place for a significant period of time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect the businesses, results of operations and financial condition of Dime and Bridge. The bank regulatory agencies and various governmental authorities are urging financial institutions to work prudently with bo rro wers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID - 19. L oan forbearances and other measures have been and will continue to be taken to assist affected customers and businesses, which may have an adverse impact on results of operations and financial conditio n. Dime's and Bridge's loans to particular businesses, such as restaurants, hotels and contractors, as well as to people working in those industries, may be particularly subject to adverse developments. Disruptions to customers could result in increased delinquencies , defaults, foreclosures and losses on loans , negatively impact regional economic conditions, result in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in rea l estate), loan originations and deposit availability. The spread of the coronavirus has also caused Dime and Bridge to modify their business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and Dime and Bridge may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that they determine are in the best interests of their employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. The extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts Dime's and Bridge's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of t he outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions ca n resume. Even after the coronavirus outbreak has subsided, Dime and Bridge may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to their businesses as a result of its economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of the coronavirus and a glob al pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the coronavirus outbreak or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. T he full extent of the impact on Dime's and Bridge's businesses, operations or the economy as a whole is not yet known. However, the effects could have a material impact on results of operations, and Dime and Bridge will continue to monitor the coronavirus situation closely. Bridge and Dime caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward - looking sta tements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters attributable to Bridge or Dime or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in t hei r entirety by the cautionary statements above. Bridge and Dime do not undertake any obligation to update any forward - looking statement to reflect circumstanc es or events that occur after the date the forward - looking statements are made. 3

BRIDGE BANCORP, INC. Disclaimers (continued) Risks Related to the SBA PPP Loan Program Bridge and Dime are participating lenders in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a loan program administered through the Sm all Business Administration (“SBA”), which was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self - employed persons fund their operational costs dur ing the COVID - 19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. Bridge and Dime may be exposed to credit ris k o n PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or servic ed. If a deficiency is identified, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaran ty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency. Financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in proces sin g applications for the PPP. If Bridge or Dime were to be subject to any such litigation, such litigation could have a material adverse impact on the companies' bus ine sses, financial conditions and results of operations. Bridge and Dime caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward - looking st atements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters attributable to Bridge or Dime or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in t hei r entirety by the cautionary statements above. Bridge and Dime do not undertake any obligation to update any forward - looking statement to reflect circumstan ces or events that occur after the date the forward - looking statements are made. 4
