First Northwest Bancorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) is a tax qualified employee stock ownership plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), with individual accounts for the accrued benefits of participating employees and their beneficiaries. The ESOP’s assets are held in trust by GreatBanc Trust Company, as plan trustee (the “Plan Trustee”). The number of shares listed as beneficially owned represents the entire number of shares of First Northwest common stock held by the Plan Trustee as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, 202,994 shares of First Northwest common stock had been allocated to individual accounts established for participating employees and their beneficiaries, and 820,556 of such shares were held, unallocated, for allocation in future years. In general, participating employees and their beneficiaries have the power and authority to direct the voting of shares of First Northwest common stock allocated to their individual accounts. The ESOP, through the Plan Trustee, has shared voting power over unallocated First Northwest common stock. Any unallocated First Northwest common stock is generally required to be voted by the Plan Trustee in the same proportion as First Northwest common stock which has been allocated to Participants is directed to be voted. The ESOP, through the Plan Trustee, shares dispositive power over all unallocated First Northwest common stock held by the ESOP. The ESOP, acting through the Plan Trustee, shares dispositive power over allocated First Northwest common stock with participating employees and their beneficiaries, who have the right to determine whether First

Northwest common stock allocated to their respective accounts will be tendered in response to a tender offer but otherwise have no dispositive power. Any unallocated First Northwest common stock is generally required to be tendered by the Plan Trustee in the same proportion as First Northwest common stock which has been allocated to Participants is directed to be tendered. In limited circumstances, ERISA may confer upon the Plan Trustee the power and duty to control the voting and tendering of First Northwest common stock allocated to the accounts of participating employees and beneficiaries who fail to exercise their voting and/or tender rights. The ESOP disclaims voting power with respect to such allocated First Northwest common stock.
