Fellow Shareholders:
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Waterstone Financial, Inc. has determined it is in the best interest of our shareholders, board, employees, and the
communities we serve to conduct the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders as a “virtual meeting.”
Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in-person. Rather, shareholders may attend the annual meeting virtually by visiting the website listed
below and following the instructions on that microsite. The date and time of the meeting have not changed. The meeting will still be held at 9:00AM CDT on May 19, 2020.
Attending the Virtual Meeting
Registration Starts at 9:00AM CDT on May 12, 2020.
To attend the virtual meeting, you must register in advance at www.cstproxy.com/wsbonline/2020.
Registration will start beginning May 12, 2020 at 9:00AM CDT. Your Control Number, which is printed above, will be needed in order to register. Those wishing to attend via telephone can dial 1-877-770-3647 (U.S. and Canada) or 1-312-780-0854
(outside of the U.S. and Canada) and use Passcode: 82262508# ten minutes before the meeting starts. However, those dialing into the meeting will only be able to attend in “listen only” mode.
