STOCK ORDER FORM INSTRUCTIONS — SIDE 1

STOCK INFORMATION CENTER: [SIC #]

Sections (1) and (2) – Number of Shares and Total Payment Due. Indicate the Number of Shares that you wish to subscribe for and the Total Payment Due. Calculate the Total Payment Due by multiplying the Number of Shares by the $10.00 price per share. The minimum purchase is 25 shares ($250). The maximum number of shares that may be purchased by an individual, or individuals exercising subscription rights through a single qualifying account held jointly is 50,000 shares ($500,000). Additionally, no person or entity, together with any associates or group of persons acting in concert, may purchase more than 120,000 shares ($1,200,000) in all categories of the stock offering combined. Please see the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Stock Offering – Limitations on Common Stock Purchases” for more specific information. By signing this form, you are certifying that your order does not conflict with these purchase limitations.

Section (3) – Method of Payment – Check, Money Order or Cash. Payment may be made by including with this form a personal check, bank check or money order, from the purchaser, made payable directly to Hometown Financial Group, Inc. These will be deposited upon receipt. The funds remitted by personal check must be available within the account(s) when your Stock Order Form is received. Cash will only be accepted at TruNorth Bank’s offices located at 36 Main Street, Easthampton, Massachusetts, 31 Sutton Avenue, Oxford, Massachusetts, or 248 Andover Street (Rt. 114), Peabody, Massachusetts, and will be converted to a bank check. Indicate the amount remitted. Interest will be calculated at [interest rate]% per annum from the date payment is processed until the stock offering is completed or terminated, at which time the subscriber will be issued a check for interest earned. Please do not remit wire transfers, a TruNorth Bank (or one of its predecessor banks) line of credit check or third party checks for this purchase.

Section (4) – Method of Payment – Deposit Account Withdrawal. Payment may be made by authorizing a direct withdrawal from your TruNorth Bank deposit account(s). Indicate the account number(s) and the amount(s) you wish withdrawn. Attach a separate page, if necessary. Funds designated for withdrawal must be available within the account(s) at the time this Stock Order Form is received. Upon receipt of this order, we will place a hold on the amount(s) designated by you – the funds will be unavailable to you for withdrawal thereafter. The funds will continue to earn interest within the account at the contractual rate until the stock offering is completed. The interest will remain in the accounts when the designated withdrawal is made, at the completion or termination of the stock offering. There will be no early withdrawal penalty for withdrawal from a TruNorth Bank certificate of deposit (CD) account. You may not designate accounts with check-writing privileges. Please submit a check instead. If you request direct withdrawal from such accounts, we reserve the right to interpret that as your authorization to treat those funds as if we had received a check for the designated amount, and we will immediately withdraw the amount from your checking account(s). Additionally, individual retirement accounts or other retirement accounts held at TruNorth Bank may not be listed for direct withdrawal. For guidance on using retirement funds, whether held at TruNorth Bank or elsewhere, please contact the Stock Information Center as soon as possible – preferably at least two weeks before the [expiration date] offering deadline. See the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Stock Offering – Procedure for Purchasing Shares in the Subscription and Community Offerings – Using Individual Retirement Account Funds.” Your ability to use retirement account funds to purchase shares cannot be guaranteed and depends on various factors, including timing constraints and the institution where those funds are currently held.

Section (5) – Purchaser Information. Please check the one box that applies to the purchaser(s) listed in Section 9 of this form. Purchase priorities in the Subscription Offering are based on eligibility dates. Boxes (a), (b) and (c) refer to the Subscription Offering. If you checked box (a) or (b), list all TruNorth Bank (or one of its predecessor banks) deposit account numbers that the purchaser(s) had ownership in as of the applicable eligibility date. Include all forms of account ownership (e.g. individual, joint, IRA, etc.). If purchasing shares for a minor, list only the minor’s eligible accounts. If purchasing shares for a corporation or partnership, list only that entity’s eligible accounts. Attach a separate page, if necessary. Failure to complete this section, or providing incorrect or incomplete information, could result in a loss of part or all of your share allocation in the event of an oversubscription. Boxes (d) and (e) refer to the Community Offering. Orders placed in the Subscription Offering will take priority over orders placed in the Community Offering. See the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Stock Offering” for further details about the Subscription Offering and Community Offering.

Section (6) – Management. Check the box if you are a Hometown Financial Group, Inc., Hometown Financial Group, Inc. (Massachusetts), Hometown Financial Group, MHC or TruNorth Bank director/trustee, officer, corporator or employee, or a member of their immediate family.

Section (7) – Maximum Purchaser Identification. Check the box, if applicable. Failure to check the box will result in you not receiving notification in the event the maximum purchase limit(s) is/are increased. If you checked the box but have not subscribed for the maximum amount in the Subscription Offering, you will not receive this notification.

Section (8) – Associates/Acting in Concert. Check the box, if applicable, and provide the requested information. Attach a separate page if necessary.

Section (9) – Stock Registration. Clearly PRINT the name(s) in which you want the shares registered and the mailing address for all correspondence related to your order, including a stock ownership statement. Each Stock Order Form will generate one stock ownership statement, subject to the stock allocation provisions described in the Prospectus. IMPORTANT: Subscription rights are non-transferable. If placing an order in the Subscription Offering, you cannot add the names of persons/entities who do not have subscription rights or who qualify only in a lower purchase priority than yours. A Social Security or Tax ID Number must be provided. The first number listed will be identified with the stock for tax reporting purposes. Listing at least one phone number is important in the event we need to contact you about this form.

NOTE FOR FINRA MEMBERS: If you are a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or a person affiliated or associated with a FINRA member, you may have additional reporting requirements. Please report this subscription in writing to the applicable department of the FINRA member firm within one day of payment thereof.

Form of Stock Ownership. For reasons of clarity and standardization, the stock transfer industry has developed uniform stockholder registrations for issuance of stock ownership statements. Beneficiaries may not be named on stock registrations. If you have any questions about wills, estates, beneficiaries, etc., please consult your legal advisor. When registering stock, do not use two initials – use the full first name, middle initial and last name. Omit words that do not affect ownership such as “Dr.” or “Mrs.” Check the one box that applies.

Buying Stock Individually – Used when shares are registered in the name of only one owner. To qualify in the first or second priority of the Subscription Offering, the individual named in Section 9 of the Stock Order Form must have had an eligible deposit account at TruNorth Bank (or one of its predecessor banks) as of the close of business on June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2026.

The standard abbreviation for custodian is “CUST.” The Uniform Transfer to Minors Act is “UTMA.” Include the state abbreviation. For example, stock held by John Smith as custodian for Emma Smith under the MA Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, should be registered as John Smith CUST Emma Smith UTMA-MA (list only the minor’s social security number).

Buying Stock for a Corporation/Partnership – On the first name line indicate the name of the corporation or partnership and indicate the entity’s Tax ID Number for reporting purposes. To qualify in the first or second priority of the Subscription Offering, the corporation or partnership named in Section 9 of the Stock Order Form must have had an eligible deposit account at TruNorth Bank (or one of its predecessor banks) as of the close of business on June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2026.

For example, on the first name line, indicate the name of the brokerage firm, followed by CUST or TRUSTEE. On the second name line, indicate the name of the beneficial owner (for example, “FBO JOHN SMITH IRA”). You can indicate an account number or other underlying information and the custodian or trustee firm’s address and department to which all correspondence should be mailed related to this order, including a stock ownership statement. Indicate the TAX ID Number under which the IRA account should be reported for tax purposes. To qualify in the first or second priority of the Subscription Offering, the beneficial owner named in Section 9 of this form must have had an eligible deposit account at TruNorth Bank (or one of its predecessor banks) as of the close of business on June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2026.

Section (10) – Acknowledgment and Signature(s). Sign and date the Stock Order Form where indicated. Before you sign, please carefully review the information you provided and read the acknowledgment.

Only one signature is required, unless any account listed in Section 4 requires more than one signature to authorize a withdrawal.

Review the Prospectus carefully before making an investment decision. Deliver your completed and signed original Stock Order Form, with full payment or deposit account withdrawal authorization, so that it is received (not postmarked) on or before 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on [expiration date]. Stock Order Forms can be delivered by paying for overnight delivery to the Stock Information Center address listed on the front of the Stock Order Form, by regular mail using the enclosed postage paid Stock Order Reply Envelope, or by hand-delivery to TruNorth Bank’s offices located at 36 Main Street, Easthampton, Massachusetts, 31 Sutton Avenue, Oxford, Massachusetts, or 248 Andover Street (Rt. 114), Peabody, Massachusetts.

Once a completed stock order form has been deposited in the U.S. mail, delivery issues may arise that are beyond our control and there can be no guarantee that a completed original stock order form will be received by us before the expiration of the subscription and/or community offering, if at all.
