proposals set forth in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus of

between Broadway and CFBanc Corporation ("CFBanc"), as amended January 14, 2021
(as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant
to which CFBanc will merge with and into Broadway (the "Merger"), which approval
also constitutes approval of the amended and restated certificate of
incorporation for Broadway attached as Annex D to the Proxy Statement.

of directors, sufficient proxies have not been received to constitute a quorum
