LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMONS SHARES OF VERSABANK
[MISSING IMAGE: lg_versabank-4clr.jpg]
This Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered holders (the “VersaBank Shareholders”) of common shares of VersaBank (the “VersaBank Shares”) in connection with the proposed reorganization, described in the management information circular of VersaBank dated as of August 4, 2026 (the “Circular”) accompanying this Letter of Transmittal whereby, among other things, and pursuant to the terms of a reorganization agreement, the form of which is attached as Annex E to the Circular, as it may be amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time (the “Reorganization Agreement”), VersaBank will adopt an amendment to its by-laws and effect certain transactions to exchange all of its outstanding shares on a one-for-one basis into an equivalent number of common shares of Versa Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, (the “Versa Bancorp Shares”) as a result of which Versa Bancorp will become a holding company that will succeed VersaBank as the publicly traded company in which VersaBank Shareholders hold their equity interests (the “Reorganization”).
Under the proposed terms of the Reorganization, each VersaBank Shareholder will be entitled to receive one Versa Bancorp Share in exchange for each VersaBank Share held (the “Entitlement”).
The terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Letter of Transmittal and capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal have the meaning set out in the Reorganization Agreement. You are encouraged to carefully review the Circular in its entirety. Any reference herein to the Reorganization Agreement includes any amendment or modification thereof.

U.S. Federal Income Tax — IRS Form W-9 and IRS Form W-8 Information for U.S. VersaBank Shareholders
The following does not constitute a summary of the tax consequences of the Reorganization and U.S. VersaBank Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Reorganization.
(a)
Each U.S. VersaBank Shareholder that is a U.S. person is required to provide the Depositary with a correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 (available from the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov), and to certify such holder is not subject to backup withholding of federal income tax. Failure to provide the information in IRS Form W-9 may subject a U.S. person to penalties imposed by the IRS and 24% federal backup withholding on any consideration subject to tax due to such holder in connection with the Reorganization. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld and, if withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the holder from the IRS, provided that, in each case, the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. The Depositary cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding. Failure to provide a correct TIN may result in additional fines. More serious penalties may be imposed for providing false information which, if willfully done, may result in imprisonment and/or civil fines and penalties. See IRS Form W-9 for additional information.
(b)
You are a “U.S. person” if you are (a) an individual citizen or resident alien of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) or partnership created or organized in the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or (d) a trust if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
(c)
If a U.S. person has not been issued a TIN, such U.S. person should consult the instructions to IRS Form W- 9. If the VersaBank Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, U.S. persons should consult the instructions on IRS Form W-9 for information regarding which TIN to report.
(d)
Certain U.S. persons are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt U.S. VersaBank Shareholder who is a U.S. person should timely and properly complete and provide the IRS Form W-9.
(e)
If IRS Form W-9 is not applicable to a U.S. VersaBank Shareholder because such holder is not a U.S. person, but such holder provides an address that is located within the United States, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalty of perjury, to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 (W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or other form) may be obtained at http://www.irs.gov.
A U.S. VERSABANK SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE AND PROVIDE IRS FORM W-9 OR THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE IRS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 24% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS OR TRANSFERS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE REORGANIZATION. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED
 

 
BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD AND, IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED, IN EACH CASE, BY TIMELY FILING THE REQUIRED INFORMATION WITH THE IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
EACH U.S. VERSABANK SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN IRS FORM W-9 OR THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 OR IS EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING.
