As previously disclosed, on April 22, 2021, Meridian Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland
corporation ("Meridian"), Independent Bank Corp., a Massachusetts corporation
("Independent"), Bradford Merger Sub Inc. a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of
Independent ("Merger Sub"), Rockland Trust Company, a Massachusetts-chartered
trust company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Independent ("Rockland Trust"), and
East Boston Savings Bank, a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridian ("EBSB") entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and
into Meridian, with Meridian as the surviving entity (the "Merger"), and as soon
as reasonably practicable following the Merger, Meridian will merge with and
into Independent, with Independent as the surviving entity (the "Holdco
Merger"). The Merger Agreement further provides that immediately following the
Holdco Merger, EBSB will merge with and into Rockland Trust, with Rockland Trust
as the surviving company. The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the
Boards of Directors of each of Meridian, Independent, Merger Sub, Rockland
Trust, and EBSB.

In connection with the proposed Merger, Independent filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-4
containing a joint proxy statement/prospectus, as amended, and Meridian filed a
definitive proxy statement and Independent filed a definitive proxy
statement/prospectus with the SEC, each dated June 22, 2021 (collectively, the
"joint proxy statement/prospectus"), which Independent and Meridian first mailed
to their respective shareholders and stockholders on or about June 28, 2021.

Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, as of the date of this
Current Report on Form 8-K, seven lawsuits challenging the Merger have been
filed. On June 9, 2021, a purported stockholder of Meridian filed a lawsuit
against Meridian and its directors in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, captioned Shiva Stein vs. Meridian Bancorp, Inc.,
et al., Docket No. 1:21-cv-5116 (the "Stein Lawsuit"). The plaintiff generally
alleges that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange
Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder by disclosing materially incomplete
and misleading information to Meridian stockholders about the previously

The plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, rescissory relief or damages, other
unspecified damages, and an award of attorneys' and experts' fees and expenses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 27, 2021, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in
litigation, Meridian and Independent have agreed to make additional disclosures
(the "Additional Disclosures") to supplement the disclosures contained in the
joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 22, 2021 and first mailed to shareholders of Meridian and
stockholders of Independent on June 28, 2021. The Additional Disclosures are set
forth below and should be read in conjunction with the joint proxy
statement/prospectus.

Meridian and Independent believe that the Additional Disclosures moot plaintiffs' disclosure claims asserted in the Merger Litigation and, as a result, expect that the plaintiffs will not seek injunctive relief against the merger.



This decision to make the Additional Disclosures will not affect the merger
consideration to be paid in connection with the merger of Meridian with and into
Independent or the timing of the special meetings of Meridian's shareholders and
Independent's stockholders.

Meridian, Independent and the other defendants have vigorously denied, and
continue to vigorously deny, that they have committed or aided and abetted in
the commission of any violation of law or engaged in any of the wrongful acts
that were or could have been alleged in the lawsuits, and expressly maintain
that, to the extent applicable, they diligently and scrupulously complied with
their fiduciary and other legal duties and are entering into the agreement to
make the Additional Disclosures solely to eliminate the burden and expense of
further litigation, to put the claims that were or could have been asserted to
rest, and to avoid any possible delay to the closing of the merger that might
arise from further litigation. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall
be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable
laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein.

                 SUPPLEMENT TO JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

The following information supplements the joint proxy statement/prospectus and
should be read in connection with the joint proxy statement/prospectus, which
should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information herein differs
from or updates information contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus,
the information contained herein supersedes the information contained in the
joint proxy statement/prospectus. All page references in the information below
are to pages in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, and terms used below have
the meanings set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, unless otherwise
defined below. Without admitting in any way that the disclosures below are
material or otherwise required by law, Meridian and Independent make the
following Additional Disclosures:

Background of the Merger

The disclosure under the heading "THE MERGER-Background of the Merger" is hereby revised by deleting the fourth full paragraph of page 57 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and replacing it with the following:



In early January, 2021, as part of customary marketing efforts, Raymond James
representatives met with Independent representatives and discussed a number of
topics regarding the banking industry and the Massachusetts market, including
the competitive

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
landscape. During these conversations, and consistent with informal discussions
in prior years, Raymond James and Independent discussed, in a general and
exploratory fashion, possible strategic advantages of a potential future merger
between Meridian and Independent, including the fact that a merger would bring
together two culturally aligned community-focused commercial banks with
complementary footprints and business models and create a combined company with
an increased presence in Massachusetts and the Boston metro area. Following the
meeting, Raymond James provided a summary of this discussion to Mr. Gavegnano.

The disclosure under the heading "THE MERGER-Background of the Merger" is hereby revised by deleting the sixth full paragraph of page 57 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and replacing it with the following:



Over the next few days, senior management of Independent discussed the potential
strategic and financial benefits of a potential acquisition of Meridian,
including the fact that a merger would bring together two culturally aligned
community-focused commercial banks with complementary footprints and business
models and create a combined company with an increased presence in Massachusetts
and the Boston metro area. They also discussed the potential financial terms for
such a transaction and determined to indicate a willingness to engage in
preliminary exploratory discussions with Meridian and its representatives.

The disclosure under the heading "THE MERGER-Background of the Merger" is hereby revised by deleting the second full paragraph of page 58 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and replacing it with the following:



On February 23, 2021, KBW, Independent's financial advisor, contacted Raymond

discontinued in early February, and bank consolidation in the Northeast had
continued with the announcement of the merger between M&T and People's United.
On February 24, 2021, KBW reported this discussion to Independent senior
management and at the direction of Independent, KBW then contacted Raymond James
to indicate Independent's continued interest in pursuing a merger transaction.
Later that same day, Independent provided Meridian a non-binding indication of
interest, including a fixed exchange ratio of 0.275 shares of Independent common
stock for each share of Meridian common stock, representing an implied price of
$24.21 per share based on the then-current market price for Independent common
stock, as well as a request for exclusive negotiating rights with Meridian
through April 30, 2021.

directors, Independent senior management updated the board regarding the
potential transaction with Meridian, including the strategic and financial
benefits of the proposed merger, which included the fact that the merger would
increase Independent's presence in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Massachusetts and the Boston metro area; the complementary footprints of
Independent and Meridian; the complementary nature of the products, customers
and markets of the two companies; the expectation of cost synergies resulting
from the merger; and the expectation that the merger would offer potentially
significant revenue synergies across multiple business lines. Independent's
board expressed its support for senior management to proceed with its due
diligence review and negotiation of the proposed merger.
