The presentation may be found at the following link:https://holdcoam.co/UBS_Conference_Feb9In the presentation, HoldCo disclosed that funds managed by it and an affiliate own securities of the institutions discussed therein and consequently have an economic interest in the price of the securities of those institutions.Said HoldCo Co-Founders Vik Ghei and Misha Zaitzeff: "Over the past six months, we launched five public activist campaigns across the banking sector, each with a meaningful likelihood of progressing to a proxy contest at the respective upcoming shareholder meetings. We are pleased to report that, in every case, management teams and boards made substantive changes that meaningfully altered the trajectory of their institutions, and as a result, we will not be pursuing proxy contests at any of these five banks. In addition, we have engaged in constructive, behind-the-scenes dialogue with four other banks, and we are encouraged that each has already made material changes; we hope continued progress through 2026 will make further escalation unnecessary. Our engagement across these nine institutions is documented in the accompanying presentation, and we encourage market participants to review the materials."About HoldCo Asset Management, LPHoldCo Asset Management, LP is an investment adviser located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
