On March 9, 2016, Bruce W. Williams advised the Board of Directors of HomeStreet, Inc. (“HomeStreet”) that he would be retiring at the end of his term, concurrent with the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of HomeStreet, and therefore would not be standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. The retirement of Mr. Williams was not the result, in whole or in part, of any disagreement with HomeStreet or HomeStreet’s management.
