Important Information and Disclaimers
These disclaimers apply to this document and the verbal or written comments of any person presenting it. This document, taken together with any such verbal or written comments, is
referred to herein as the “Presentation.” When used herein, the phrases “Catalyst” or “CLST” refers to Catalyst Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Catalyst Bank, and “Lakeside” or
“LKSB” refers to Lakeside Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Lakeside Bank.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Presentation contains, and the officers and directors of Catalyst may from time to time make, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, which are typically identified by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast,” and
other words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, expectations, projections, goals, forecasts, assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Catalyst
cautions readers that any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements about the benefits of the proposed merger involving Catalyst and LKSB, including future financial
and operating results; statements about Catalyst’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions; statements about the expected timing of completion of the proposed merger; and other
statements that are not historical facts. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include risks and
uncertainties relating to: (i) the ability to obtain the requisite shareholder approvals; (ii) the risk that Catalyst may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required to
consummate the proposed merger, or required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the merger or result in the imposition of conditions that could cause the parties to
abandon the merger; (iii) the risk that a condition to closing may not be satisfied; (iv) the timing to consummate the proposed merger; (v) the risk that the businesses will not be
integrated successfully; (vi) the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the proposed merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; (vii)
disruption from the proposed merger making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or vendors; (viii) the diversion of management time on merger-related
issues; and (ix) other factors which Catalyst discusses or refers to in its reports (such as the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form
8-k) and other subsequent filings with the SEC, which are available on Catalyst’s website or at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Because forward-looking statements are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of future events. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Catalyst expressly disclaims any obligation to update its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in or made in connection with this Presentation are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this cautionary statement.

The definitive proxy statement (if and when available) will be mailed to stockholders of LKSB. Investors and security holders of LKSB are urged to read the proxy statement, as well as any
amendments or supplements to the proxy statement, carefully and in their entirety if and when they become available because they contain or will contain important information about
the proposed merger. Investors and security holders of CLST will be able to obtain free copies of the other documents containing important information about Catalyst, LKSB and the
