Members of the Boards of Directors

 

We have completed and hereby provide an updated appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion described below.

 

This updated appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations and has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” (the “Valuation Guidelines”) of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and accepted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (the “Department”), and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof. Our original appraisal report, dated May 5, 2025 (the "Original Appraisal"), is incorporated herein by reference. As in the preparation of our Original Appraisal, we believe the data and information used herein is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

 

On May 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of Hoyne Savings, MHC (the “MHC”), Hoyne Financial Corporation (“Hoyne Financial”) and Hoyne Savings Bank (the “Bank”) adopted the plan of conversion whereby the MHC will convert to stock form. As a result of the conversion, Hoyne Financial, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the MHC and currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank, will be succeeded by a new Delaware corporation with the name of Hoyne Bancorp, Inc. (“Hoyne Bancorp” or the “Company”). Following the conversion, the MHC will no longer exist. For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter be referred to as Hoyne Bancorp or the Company.

 

Hoyne Bancorp will offer its common stock in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Plans including Hoyne Savings Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members, as such terms are defined in the Company’s prospectus for purposes of applicable federal regulatory guidelines governing mutual-to-stock conversions. To the extent shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offering for sale to members of the general public in a community offering and a syndicatedcommunity offering. A portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of the common stock will be used to purchase all of the then to be issued and outstanding capital stock of Hoyne Savings Bank and the balance of the net proceeds will be retained by the Company.

At this time, no other activities are contemplated for the Company other than the ownership of the Bank, a loan to the newly-formed ESOP and reinvestment of the proceeds that are retained by the Company. In the future, Hoyne Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, diversify into other banking-related activities, pay dividends or repurchase its stock, although there are no specific plans to undertake such activities at the present time.

 

The plan of conversion provides for the establishment of a new charitable foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation contribution will be funded with Hoyne Bancorp common stock in an amount equal to 2.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock sold in the offering (including shares contributed to the Foundation) and $250,000 in cash. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which Hoyne Savings Bank operates and to enable those communities to share in the Bank’s long-term growth. The Foundation will be dedicated completely to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes.

 

This updated appraisal reflects the following noteworthy items: (1) a review of Hoyne Bancorp’s financial condition, including financial data through June 30, 2025; (2) an updated comparison of Hoyne Bancorp’s financial condition and operating results versus the Peer Group companies identified in the Original Appraisal; and (3) a review of stock market conditions since the date of the Original Appraisal.

 

The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Hoyne Bancorp’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the public stock offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.

 

Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof. RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

Discussion of Relevant Considerations

 

1.             Financial Results

 

Table 1 presents summary balance sheet and income statement details for the year ended December 31, 2024, as restated, and updated financial information through June 30, 2025. Hoyne Bancorp’s assets increased by $3.9 million or 0.87% from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents accounted for most of the increase in assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which were partially offset by decreases in investment securities and bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Overall, cash and investments (inclusive of FHLB/Bankers Bank stock) increased from $169.4 million or 37.69% of assets at December 31, 2024 to $169.8 million or 37.44% of assets at June 30, 2025. Net loans receivable increased from $240.9 million or 53.60% of assets at December 31, 2024 to $247.5 million or 54.59% of assets at June 30, 2025. The respective balances for BOLI and goodwill/other intangibles decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to equal $14.6 million or 3.22% of assets and $230,000 or 0.05% of assets at June 30, 2025.

 

Updated credit quality measures for the Company were slightly more favorable, as the balance of non-performing assets decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Hoyne Bancorp’s non-performing assets decreased from $1.7 million or 0.37% of assets at December 31, 2024 to $736,000 or 0.16% of assets at June 30, 2025. A decrease in non-accruing 1-4 family loans accounted for most of the decrease in the non-performing assets balance.

 

The Company’s updated funding composition showed a nominal decrease in deposits and borrowings remained at a zero balance. Deposits decreased from $357.3 million or 79.48% of assets at December 31, 2024 to $357.2 million or 78.78% of assets at June 30, 2025. The slight decrease in deposits was due to a decrease in certificates of deposit (“CDs”), which was substantially offset by an increase in transaction and savings account deposits. Hoyne Bancorp’s tangible equity increased from $85.5 million to $88.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which combined with asset growth provided for an increase in the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio from 19.02% at December 31, 2024 to 19.55% at June 30, 2025.

 

Hoyne Bancorp’s operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 are also set forth in Table 1. The Company’s reported earnings showed a reduction in the net loss from $2.0 million or 0.44% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $648,000 or 0.15% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. The reduction in the net loss was mostly due to an increase in net interest income. An increase in non-interest operating income also contributed to the increase in the Company’s updated earnings. Increases in operating expenses and credit loss provisions, as well as elimination of the gain on real estate owned (“REO”), partially offset the increase in the Company’s updated earnings.

 

Hoyne Bancorp’s net interest income was higher during the most recent twelve month period, which was primarily driven by an increase in interest income and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was facilitated by an increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the decrease in interest expense was facilitated by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Overall, the Company’s interest rate spread increased from 1.89% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.83% during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Operating expenses increased from $13.3 million or 3.01% of average assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $13.4 million or 2.99% of average assets during the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. Overall, Hoyne Bancorp’s updated ratios for net interest income and operating expenses provided for a higher expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by operating expenses). Hoyne Bancorp’s expense coverage ratio increased from 0.73x for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to 0.88x for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Non-interest operating income increased from $961,000 or 0.22% of average assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $1.0 million or 0.22% of average assets during the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. Overall, when factoring non-interest operating income into core earnings, the Company’s updated efficiency ratio of 105.28% (operating expenses as a percent of net interest income and non-interest operating income) was lower than the 124.90% efficiency ratio recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Credit loss provisions were slightly higher during the most recent twelve month period, increasing from $468,000 or 0.10% of average assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $504,000 or 0.11% of average assets during the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. Loan growth largely accounted for the increase in credit loss provisions established during the most recent twelve month period. The Company maintained an allowance for credit losses of $2.4 million at June 30, 2025, equal to 0.94% of total loans and 327.72% of non-accruing loans.

 

Non-operating income, consisting of a gain on REO, decreased from $119,000 or 0.03% of average assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to zero during the twelve months ended June 30, 2025.

 

The Company’s updated earnings showed a lower income tax benefit of $506,000 or 0.09% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, versus an income tax benefit of $1.035 million or 0.23% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. A lower pre-tax loss largely accounted for the reduction in the income tax benefit recorded during the most recent twelve month period.

 

2.             Peer Group Financial Comparisons

 

Tables 2 and 3 present the financial characteristics and operating results for Hoyne Bancorp, the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on financial results through June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. PB Bankshares, Inc. of Pennsylvania, which was one of the companies selected for the Peer Group in the Original Appraisal, is the target of a pending acquisition to sell control and, therefore, has been eliminated from the Peer Group.

 

In general, the comparative balance sheet ratios for the Company and the Peer Group did not vary significantly from the ratios exhibited in the Original Appraisal. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, the Company’s updated interest-earning asset composition reflected a lower concentration of loans and a higher concentration of cash and investments. Overall, the Company’s and the Peer Group’s updated interest-earning assets-to-assets ratios equaled 92.03% and 93.94%, respectively.

Consistent with the Original Appraisal, Hoyne Bancorp’s funding composition showed a similar concentration of deposits and a lower concentration of borrowings relative to the comparable Peer Group measures. Updated interest-bearing liabilities-to-assets ratios equaled 78.78% and 83.41% for the Company and the Peer Group, respectively. Hoyne Bancorp’s updated tangible equity-to-assets ratio equaled 19.55%, which remained above the comparable Peer Group ratio of 14.80%. Overall, Hoyne Bancorp’s updated interest-earning assets-to-interest-bearing liabilities ("IEA/IBL") ratio equaled 116.82%, which remained above the comparable Peer Group ratio of 112.62%. As discussed in the Original Appraisal, the additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve to increase Hoyne Bancorp’s IEA/IBL ratio, as the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets will be lower due to the increase in capital realized from the offering and the net proceeds realized from the offering will be primarily deployed into interest-earning assets.

 

Updated growth rates for Hoyne Bancorp are based on annualized growth rates for the 18 months ended June 30, 2025 and the Peer Group’s growth rates are based on growth for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. Hoyne Bancorp recorded a 1.09% increase in assets, versus a 1.69% increase in assets for the Peer Group. Asset growth by the Company was primarily realized through an 18.75% increase in loans, which was largely funded by a 16.46% reduction in cash and investments. Comparatively, the Peer Group’s asset growth was driven by a 6.38% increase in loans, which was partially offset by a 4.64% decrease in cash and investments.

 

The Company’s asset growth was funded by a 0.81% increase in deposits. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group was funded by a 3.90% increase in deposits, which also funded a 16.42% reduction in borrowings. Updated tangible net worth growth rates equaled increases of 1.07% and 2.68% for the Company and the Peer Group, respectively.

 

Table 3 displays comparative operating results for Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group, based on earnings for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Hoyne Bancorp recorded a net loss equal to 0.15% of average assets, versus net income equal to 0.64% of average assets for the Peer Group. Higher ratios for net interest income and non-interest operating income, and lower ratios for operating expenses and credit loss provisions continued to represent earnings advantages for the Peer Group. Non-operating income and effective tax rate remained as earnings advantages for the Company.

 

In terms of core earnings strength, updated expense coverage ratios posted by Hoyne Bancorp and the Peer Group equaled 0.88x and 1.21x, respectively. The Peer Group’s higher expense coverage continued to be supported by both a higher net interest income ratio and a lower operating expense ratio. The Peer Group’s higher net interest income ratio was realized through a higher interest income ratio, which was partially offset by the Company’s lower interest expense ratio.

 

Non-interest operating income remained a larger contributor to the Peer Group’s earnings, as such income amounted to 0.22% and 0.42% of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively. Accordingly, taking non-interest operating income into account in assessing Hoyne Bancorp’s core earnings strength relative to the Peer Group's, the Company’s updated efficiency ratio of 105.28% remained higher (less favorable) than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 72.68%.

Credit loss provisions remained a slightly larger factor in the Company’s updated earnings, with credit loss provisions established by the Company and the Peer Group equaling 0.11% and 0.04% of average assets, respectively.

 

Non-operating income was not a factor in the Company’s updated earnings, versus a non-operating loss equal to 0.06% of average assets for the Peer Group. As set forth in the Original Appraisal, typically, such gains and losses are discounted in valuation analyses as they tend to have a relatively high degree of volatility, and, thus, are not considered part of core operations. Extraordinary items remained a non-factor in the Company’s and the Peer Group's updated earnings.

 

Updated effective tax rates equaled a tax benefit of 43.85% for the Company and a tax expense of 31.57% for the Peer Group.

 

The Company’s updated credit quality measures continued to imply a similar degree of credit risk exposure relative to the comparable Peer Group measures. As shown in Table 4, the Company’s non-performing assets/assets and non-performing loans/loans ratios of 0.20% and 0.35%, respectively, were slightly lower than the comparable Peer Group ratios of 0.41% and 0.47%. The Company’s updated reserve coverage ratios indicated a higher level of reserves as a percent of non-performing loans (268.90% versus 201.22% for the Peer Group) and a lower level of reserves as a percent of loans (0.94% versus 1.12% for the Peer Group). Net loan charge-offs were a more significant factor for the Peer Group, with net loan charge-offs as a percent of loans equal to 0.05% for the Peer Group versus a net recovery equal to 0.01% for the Company.

 

3.             Stock Market Conditions

 

Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the performance of the broader stock market has generally been positive. A de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade war powered a stock market surge heading into mid-May 2025, as the U.S. and China agreed to slash tariffs for 90 days pending more negotiations. Stocks gyrated in the second half of May, based on varied reports regarding the progress of U.S. tariff negotiations with China and Europe. For the month of May overall, the broader stock market posted its best month since late-2023, with major U.S. stock indexes closing slightly above where they were at the beginning of 2025. Employment data showing better-than-expected job growth in May and signs of progress in the trade talks between the U.S. and China spurred a positive trend for stocks during the first third of June. The outbreak of attacks between Israel and Iran provided for a choppy market in mid-June, based on day-to-day fluctuations in investor sentiment on how quickly the conflict would de-escalate. Heading into the close of the second quarter, oil prices retreated and stocks rallied after Iran’s retaliation against the U.S. avoided striking critical infrastructure and a cease-fire between Israel and Iran appeared to take hold. Fueled by robust corporate earnings and solid economic data, a volatile second quarter ended with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ closing at fresh highs.

Stocks traded unevenly at the start of the third quarter of 2025, as trade tensions moved to the forefront with President Trump setting an August 1 deadline for targeted nations to avoid the U.S. imposing reciprocal tariffs. NASDAQ closed at a record high in the second week of July, which was facilitated by Nividia becoming the first company to reach a market value of $4 trillion. New tariff threats and June’s CPI showing an acceleration of inflation pressured stocks lower in mid-July. The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ closed at record highs going into the second half of July, as upbeat earnings reports from some major companies lifted investors’ optimism that corporate earnings could weather uncertainty in the market regarding U.S. tariff negotiations. On July 21, 2025, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) closed at 44323.07 or 7.53% higher since the date of the Original Appraisal and the NASDAQ closed at 20974.17 or 17.54% higher since the date of the Original Appraisal. The S&P 500 closed at 6305.60 on July 21, 2025, an increase of 11.60% since the date of the Original Appraisal.

 

The overall market for thrift stocks has been up since the date of the Original Appraisal. Positive developments in the U.S-China trade war translated into bank stocks advancing along with the broader stock market heading into mid-May 2025. The mid-May rally was followed by a pullback in interest rate sensitive issues, as a weak auction for 20-year Treasury bonds exacerbated worries about the rising U.S. debt. For the balance of May and into-early June, banks shares edged higher and continued to advance going into the second week of June as investors considered May’s employment report showing favorable job growth and signs that the U.S. and China were making progress in their trade negotiations. The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran translated into bank shares retreating slightly in mid-June, which was followed by bank shares rebounding in late-June as markets were calmed by the cease-fire between Israel and Iran.

 

The positive trend in bank shares continued at the start of the third quarter of 2025, which was followed by a slight pullback in bank shares ahead of the start of the second quarter earnings season on news that inflation accelerated in June. Bank shares edged higher going into the second half of July, as second quarter earnings posted by some of the big banks were viewed as generally favorable. On July 21, 2025, the S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index closed at 228.5, an increase of 14.82% since May 5, 2025.

 

Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group reflected increases that were less than the increase recorded in the market cap weighted S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index. Comparatively, the updated pricing measures for all publicly-traded thrifts also showed smaller increases relative to the S&P U.S. Banks Index, while generally outperforming the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group. The less significant increases in the Peer Group’s updated pricing measures imply that that smaller cap institutions, such as the Peer Group companies, underperformed the larger cap banks since the date of the Original Appraisal. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the stock prices of eight out of the nine remaining Peer Group companies were higher as of July 21, 2025. A comparative pricing analysis of the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts is shown in the following table, based on closing stock market prices as of May 5, 2025 and July 21, 2025.

(1)PB Bankshares, Inc. of Pennsylvania has been excluded from the Peer Group averages for both dates shown, as the result of becoming the target of a proposed acquisition that was announced subsequent to the date of the Original Appraisal.

 

As set forth in the Original Appraisal, the "new issue" market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned issues like the Peer Group companies in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically: (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials. The distinction between the pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps most evident in the case of the price/book ("P/B") ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value, whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio may reflect a premium to book value. Therefore, it is appropriate to also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.

 

As shown in Table 5, there have been five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months. The average closing pro forma price/tangible book ratio of the five recent standard conversion offerings equaled 47.70%. On average, the five standard conversion offerings reflected price appreciation of 14.8% after the first week of trading. As of July 21, 2025, the five recent standard conversion offerings reflected an average stock price increase of 23.3% from their IPO prices.

Summary of Adjustments

 

In the Original Appraisal, we made the following adjustments to Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma value based upon our comparative analysis to the Peer Group:

 

Key Valuation Parameters:  Previous Valuation
Adjustment
    
Financial Condition  Slight Upward
Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings  Moderate Downward
Asset Growth  Slight Upward
Primary Market Area  Slight Downward
Dividends  Slight Downward
Liquidity of the Shares  No Adjustment
Marketing of the Issue  Slight Downward
Management  No Adjustment
Effect of Govt. Regulations and Regulatory Reform  No Adjustment

 

The factors concerning the valuation parameters of primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, management and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform did not change since the Original Appraisal. Accordingly, those parameters were not discussed further in this update.

 

A slight upward adjustment remained appropriate for financial condition, which continued to be supported by upward adjustments applied for the Company’s stronger pro forma capital position, balance sheet liquidity and funding composition. Likewise, a slight upward adjustment remained appropriate for the Company’s asset growth, as the Peer Group’s slightly stronger historical asset growth was more than offset by the Company’s stronger loan growth and greater leverage capacity that will be realized from its higher level of pro forma capital. A moderate downward adjustment remained appropriate for earnings, based on the Company’s less favorable expense coverage and efficiency ratios, and lower pro forma core ROAA and core ROAE.

 

The general market for bank stocks showed a healthy increase, which was led by gains in the large-cap bank stocks as indicated by the more significant increase in the market-cap weighted S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index relative to the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the S&P U.S. BMI Banks Index was up 14.82% compared to increases of 7.53% in the DJIA, 11.60% in the S&P 500 and 17.54% in the NASDAQ. Comparatively, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group and all publicly traded thrifts were also generally higher since the date of the Original Appraisal, with the Peer Group’s updated pricing measures generally showing less significant increases relative to the updated pricing measures for all publicly-traded thrifts. No standard conversion offerings have been completed since the date of the Original Appraisal. The five standard conversion offerings that have been completed during the past twelve months showed an average price increase of 23.3% from their respective IPO prices, as of July 21, 2025. Overall, in light of the prevailing volatile stock market conditions for bank stocks and the underperformance of the Peer Group relative to the broader market for bank stocks since the date of the Original Appraisal, a slight downward adjustment remained appropriate for marketing of the issue.

Accordingly, taking into account the foregoing factors, we believe that the Company’s estimated pro market value as set forth in the Original Appraisal remains appropriate.

 

Valuation Approaches

 

In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the regulatory agencies, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing Hoyne Bancorp’s to-be-issued stock -- price/earnings ("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches -- all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds.

 

In computing the pro forma impact of the offering and the related pricing ratios, the valuation parameters utilized in the Original Appraisal were updated with financial data as of June 30, 2025.

 

Consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal continues to be based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer Group, including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach. Also consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal incorporates a "technical" analysis of recently completed offerings, including principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in the Original Appraisal) is the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma P/E ratios reflect an assumed reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the actual use of proceeds.

 

The Company will adopt “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” (“ASC 718-40”), which will cause earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP shares. For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering, including all ESOP shares, to capture the full dilutive impact, particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive, receive dividends and can be voted. However, we did consider the impact of the adoption of ASC 718-40 in the valuation.

 

Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that no change in Hoyne Bancorp’s value is appropriate. Therefore, as of July 21, 2025, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of Hoyne Bancorp’s conversion stock, including shares to be issued to the Foundation, equaled $61,224,490 at the midpoint, equal to 6,122,449 shares at $10.00 per share.

 

1.          P/E Approach. In applying the P/E approach, RP Financial's valuation conclusions considered both reported earnings and a recurring or "core" earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one time non-operating gains and losses and extraordinary items, plus the estimated after tax-earnings benefit from reinvestment of net stock proceeds. The Company’s reported earnings equaled a net loss of $648,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, which were also viewed to be representative of the Company’s core earnings.

 

As the result of the Company’s reported and core earnings net losses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, pro forma reported and core P/E multiples for the Company were not meaningful (“NM”) throughout the valuation range. Comparatively, the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples equaled 18.31 times and 18.73 times, respectively (see Table 6). The Peer Group’s median reported and core earnings multiples equaled 18.31 times and 16.91 times, respectively.

2.          P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, with the greater determinant of long term value being earnings. In applying the P/B approach, we considered both reported book value and tangible book value. Based on the $61.2 million midpoint value, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 43.98% and 44.05%, respectively. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 84.39% and 89.00%, respectively, Hoyne Bancorp’s updated ratios indicated discounts of 47.88% on a P/B basis and 50.51% on a P/TB basis (versus discounts of 45.29% and 47.74% from the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the median P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 83.07% and 89.96%, respectively, Hoyne Bancorp’s updated ratios at the updated midpoint value indicated discounts of 47.06% o a P/B basis and 51.03% on a P/TB basis (versus discounts of 45.78% and 45.96% from the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). At the top of the super range, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 51.87% and 51.95%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range indicated discounts of 38.54% and 41.63%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s updated P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range indicated discounts of 37.56% and 42.25%, respectively. RP Financial considered the discounts under the P/TB approach to be reasonable, given the nature of the calculation of the P/B ratio which mathematically results in a ratio discounted to book value. The discounts reflected under the P/B approach were also supported by the Company’s NM pro forma reported and core P/E multiples.

 

In addition to the fundamental analysis applied to the Peer Group, RP Financial utilized a technical analysis of recent conversion offerings. As indicated in the Original Appraisal, the pricing characteristics of recent conversion offerings are not the primary determinate of value. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, particular focus was placed on the P/TB approach in this analysis since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of the conversion funds (i.e., external funds versus deposit withdrawals).

 

As discussed previously, there have been five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months. In comparison to the 47.70% average closing forma P/TB ratio of the five standard conversion offerings completed during the past twelve months, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 44.05% at the updated midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 7.65%. At the top of the super maximum, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 51.95% reflects an implied premium of 8.91% relative to the average P/TB ratio of the recent standard conversions at closing.

 

3.         P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally not as a reliable indicator of market value, as investors do not place significant weight on total assets as a determinant of market value. Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings -- which have received greater weight in our valuation analysis. At the $61.2 million midpoint value, Hoyne Bancorp’s pro forma P/A ratio equaled 12.15%. In comparison to the Peer Group's average P/A ratio of 12.57%, Hoyne Bancorp’s P/A ratio indicated a discount of 3.34% (versus a premium of 1.54% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 12.26%, Hoyne Bancorp’s P/A ratio at the $61.2 million midpoint value indicated a discount of 0.90% (versus a premium of 11.37% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal).

Valuation Conclusion

 

We have concluded that the Company’s estimated pro forma market value should remain the same as set forth in the Original Appraisal. Accordingly, it is our opinion, as of July 21, 2025, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued immediately following the conversion, including shares to be issued to the Foundation, equaled $61,224,490 at the midpoint, equal to 6,122,449 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to conversion guidelines, the 15% valuation range indicates a minimum value of $52,040,820 and a maximum value of $70,408,160. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price determined by the Board, this valuation range equates to total shares outstanding of 5,204,082 at the minimum and 7,040,816 at the maximum. In the event the appraised value is subject to an increase, the aggregate pro forma market value may be increased up to a super maximum value of $80,969,380 without a resolicitation. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the super maximum value would result in total shares outstanding of 8,096,938. Based on this valuation range, the offering range is as follows: $51,000,000 at the minimum, $60,000,000 at the midpoint, $69,000,000 at the maximum and $79,350,000 at the super maximum. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the number of offering shares is as follows: 5,100,000 at the minimum, 6,000,000 at the midpoint, 6,900,000 at the maximum and 7,935,000 at the super maximum. The pro forma valuation calculations relative to the Peer Group are shown in Table 6 and are detailed in Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3.
