STRATEGY Our markets are poised for significant recovery as the economy improves, and large banks are not focusing on our target market of small and mid-sized consumers and businesses; The best way to serve our shareholders is to grow our business focusing on our strengths, and to leverage our capital, creating a return on investment, versus solely returning capital: Continue attracting top bankers and targeting high growth and demographically strong markets; Combination of organic growth and strategic acquisition opportunities; Balance leveraging capital to create return versus returning excess capital to shareholders. Focus on Commercial & Industrial (“C&I”) and Commercial Real Estate portfolios by targeting businesses in western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. C&I relationships include transactional deposit account relationships. Hired 2 new commercial lenders with nearly 50 years experience. Grow Residential Real Estate portfolio to diversify risk and deepen customer relationships. –Maintain arrangement with a third-party mortgage company which underwrites and services residential loans, thereby reducing overhead cost for Westfield Bank.
