Dear Fellow Shareholder:

 

On April 6, 2023, Waterstone Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) filed its proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the first page of the proxy statement inadvertently indicated that the Annual Meeting will be held virtually. The Annual Meeting will be held at WaterStone Bank SSB, 11200 W. Plank Ct., Wauwatosa, Wisconsin at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. Enclosed please find a revised Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which indicates the proper location of the Annual Meeting.

 

Please take a moment now to cast your vote via the Internet or by telephone as described on the proxy card you received, or alternatively, complete, sign, date and return the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope previously provided. Voting in advance of the Annual Meeting will not prevent you from voting during the Annual Meeting, but will ensure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting.

 

Sincerely,
