</div><p>Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Factors that may cause actual results or earnings to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the integration of PB Bankshares’s business and operations with those of Norwood may take longer than anticipated, may be more costly than anticipated and may have unanticipated adverse results relating to PB Bankshares’s or Norwood’s existing businesses; the anticipated cost savings and other synergies of the merger may take longer to be realized or may not be achieved in their entirety, and attrition in key client, partner and other relationships relating to the merger may be greater than expected; the ability to achieve anticipated merger-related operational efficiencies; the ability to enhance revenue through increased market penetration, expanded lending capacity and product offerings; changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the U. S. Government, particularly related to changes in interest rates; changes in general economic conditions, especially the effects of current fluctuations in tariff policies, impacts of workforce deportations, the proliferation of legal actions challenging government policies, and substantial reductions in force of government and non-government organization employees, all of which may put pressure on supply chains and exacerbate market volatility; occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or calamities, including health emergencies, the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics or outbreaks of hostilities, or the effects of climate change, and the ability of Norwood, PB Bankshares and their respective customers to deal effectively with disruptions caused by the foregoing; legislative or regulatory changes; downturn in demand for loan, deposit and other financial services in our market area; increased competition from other banks and non-bank providers of financial services; technological changes and increased technology-related costs; and changes in accounting principles, or the application of generally accepted accounting principles.
