Blue Hill Advisors Announces Increased Cash Offer for Territorial Bancorp

HONOLULU, Sept. 26, 2024 - Blue Hill Advisors LLC ("Blue Hill") and former Hawaii banking executive Allan Landon today announced an increased cash offer for Territorial Bancorp Inc. ("Territorial" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TBNK) from $12.00 per share to $12.50 per share. The increased offer represents a 27% premium over Territorial's proposed takeover by Hope Bancorp, Inc. ("Hope") (NASDAQ: HOPE) based on Hope's closing stock price on the Nasdaq on September 25.

"This increase makes our offer even more attractive," said Mr. Landon.

Jason Blumberg, Managing Member of Blue Hill, added, "Shareholders recognize the superiority of our offer and want Territorial to engage with us."

Blue Hill and Mr. Landon also released a presentation titled, "A Better Deal for Territorial". The presentation and other information can be found at www.NewTerritorial.com. Stakeholders are encouraged to visit the site to stay updated on the latest developments.

Among other topics, the presentation highlights the vastly superior value of the Landon and Blue Hill proposal and provides additional information about the investors behind it, which include funds with a total of greater than $3 billion in assets under management that have completed dozens of similar bank transactions in recent years. The presentation reiterates the investors' confidence in the transaction, and their expectation to complete due diligence quickly and close the transaction by the end of the year.

Territorial shareholders are encouraged to contact Blue Hill Advisors for more information or to contact Territorial's Board to express their support for this proposal. Shareholders who have already voted FOR the Hope merger but who wish to change their vote can still do so before the October 10 special meeting of Territorial stockholders by following the instructions for changing votes as described in the prospectus that Hope filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 22, 2024.
