The terms and conditions of the community offering are more fully set forth in the Company's prospectus dated February 11, 2025. The offering of shares in the community offering is made only by the prospectus, and shares may only be ordered by using the stock order form provided by the Company. The community offering will expire at 3:00 p.m., Central Time, on March 28, 2025, but the Company reserves the right to close the community offering earlier once it receives valid orders at or near the midpoint of the offering range, or for approximately 1,650,000 shares of common stock, including the valid orders received in the subscription offering.

Valid orders received in the subscription offering will receive priority over any community offering orders. In the community offering, preference to purchase shares will first be given to natural persons residing in the Wisconsin Counties of Marathon, Ozaukee, Milwaukee and Waukesha, and then to the Company's public stockholders at the close of business on January 31, 2025.

All questions concerning the offering or requests for offering materials should be directed to the Stock Information Center at (312) 461-4342. The Stock Information Center will be open Monday through Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Central Time, through the expiration date of the community offering. The Stock Information Center will be closed on bank holidays.

Completion of the conversion and stock offering remains subject to final regulatory approval, the approval of the Company's stockholders and the members of Marathon MHC, satisfaction of certain Nasdaq listing conditions and the sale of at least 1,402,500 shares of common stock at the minimum of the offering range.

The Company intends to close the stock offering at or near the midpoint of the offering range. However, the Company may choose to close the community offering between the minimum and midpoint of the offering range.
