3. The due date for the Office to render a decision on the application is August 12, 2026.
4. An application was filed with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA") on or about December 12, 2025, for approval of the proposed transaction.

Mr. Michael Bell Honigman LLP June 30, 2026 Page2 6. FSBH Corp. ("FSBH") is a Florida corporation and bank holding company. FSBH is the sole shareholder of First Southern Bank. 7. Community First Credit Union of Florida ("CFCU") is a Florida state-chartered credit union with its main office at 63 7 N Lee Street, Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. CFCU is authorized to operate branch offices in Florida. 8. Applications were filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") for approval of the proposed transaction. The FDIC subsequently approved the applications filed on April 15, 2026. 9. On or about November 18, 2025, the Applicants entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement ("Agreement") which sets forth in detail the method, terms, and conditions of the merger, and the remaining information required pursuant to section 657.065(3), Florida Statutes. 10. CFCU has represented in the application and submitted documentation that it does intend to amend its bylaws to expand its field of membership in connection with the proposed merger for those persons and/ or customers who do not already qualify for CFCU's current field of membership. 11 . The Applicants have represented that a meeting of the shareholders of First Southern Bank has been held and that the shareholders have voted to approve the entire transaction. 12. In order to facilitate the consolidation of the assets and liabilities of First Southern Bank with and into CFCU, the Applicants have represented in the application that CFCU will pay an amount no less than $59 million dollars, but may be adjusted upwards based on the terms and conditions of the Agreement, to FSBH for the assets and liabilities of First Southern Bank. 13 . CFCU has represented in the application that although it intends to acquire al1 liquid assets, loans, investments, fixed assets and other assets of First Southern Bank, it does not intend to acquire, own or retain First Southern Bank's stock or the power to conduct a general commercial banking business granted under First Southern Bank's charter. Therefore, although the acquisition will occur through the payment of cash consideration to FSBH, CFCU has also represented that it is not attempting to make an investment in stock in order to obtain a rate of return based upon appreciation in value of the stock or the payment of dividends. 14. CFCU has represented in the application that it intends to provide existing depositors and/ or borrowers of First Southern Bank with the option to become members of CFCU. At closing, all other First Southern Bank customers will automatically temporarily become members of CFCU and, subsequently, CFCU will attempt to obtain signed membership agreements from all the former First Southern Bank customers qualifying under CFCU' s field of membership.

Mr. Michael Bell Honigman LLP June 30, 2026 Page 3 15. The Applicants have represented in the application that upon the final closing of the proposed transaction that First Southern Bank will no longer exist as a corporate entity and all of their assets and liabilities will ultimately have been merged and consolidated into the surviving financial institution that will be known as Community First Credit Union of Florida and will have its main office located at 637 N. Lee Street, Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, 32204. 16. The Applicants have represented in the application that consummation of the proposed transaction will not result in the surviving credit union engaging in any nonconforming or impermissible activities.

The surviving credit union's net worth is adequate. 19. The transaction will not impair the ongoing viability of the surviving credit union. Having considered the application, the Office concludes that the application satisfies the criteria of sections 655.414 and 657.065, Florida Statutes (2025).

2. That the FDIC's conditional approval to the proposed transaction of First Southern Bank with and into CFCU is not withdrawn or revoked prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction by the Applicant.
3. That the terms, manner, and sequence of events with regard to how the proposed transaction will be consummated occur as the Applicants have represented in the application.
4. That the Applicants take all necessary actions and steps to ensure that, as the resulting financial entity, CFCU conducts business in accordance with the terms of the plans submitted as part of the application, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in section 65 5 .417, Florida Statutes.

That by September 30, 2026, or 90 days after consummation of the merger, whichever is later, the Office is provided with the financial statements of the surviving credit union, which reflect the final accounting for the fair market value of the surviving credit union's assets and liabilities. 12. That after the pre-merger conditions stated above have been met, the Office will issue a Certificate of Merger which must be recorded in the public records of all counties in which First Southern Bank owned any real estate at the time of merger.

That the original charter of First Southern Bank will automatically terminate as of the effective date of the transaction. 14.
