A MESSAGE FROM DENNIS G. SHAFFER
CEO AND PRESIDENT OF CIVISTA BANCSHARES, INC.
Good day and thank you for your support of Civista!
Your vote is urgently needed at the Civista Bancshares, Inc. Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, and
according to our records, you have not yet submitted your instructions.
You can simply provide your proxy to our Proxy Committee for your
shares to be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors or you can cast your vote using the other methods described below. The important thing is that your vote is counted. This year your vote in support of the ballot proposals is especially
vital. As the Proxy Statement explains, the approval of the Amendment to the Code of Regulations is necessary to allow the Code of Regulations to be updated, modernized and rendered more timely and efficient. Your support and vote in favor of
Proposal #4 is greatly appreciated.
Your participation and directive to vote will not be represented unless you actively submit your
instructions. We would encourage you to vote and appreciate you being represented at the Annual Shareholder’s Meeting.
We cannot act
upon all of the agenda items put forth this year and in accordance with applicable law, without shareholder approval. Your vote today will allow us to not only move forward on all proposals, but it will save your company further expenses of
soliciting votes.
