Dream Chasers to nominate two directors to Carver Bancorp board

Dream Chasers Capital said, “Dream Chasers Capital believes it’s time to Make Carver Great Again. In that endeavor, Dream Chasers Capital Group – Carver Bancorp’s largest minority shareholder with a 5% stake – is nominating 2 new members to the bank’s board at its upcoming annual shareholder meeting and we are asking for your vote. On July 12, 2024, DCCG sent Carver’s board a slate of 2 new nominees for election to the board at the bank’s upcoming annual meeting. On July 18, 2024 Carver notified Dream Chasers of its receipt of our director nominees. The fund believes both nominees are not only supremely qualified, but if successfully elected by you the shareholders, will execute a new strategic plan for growth which will lead to profitability, enrich the community and deliver significant shareholder value. We are confident that fellow Carver shareholders will view these 2 nominees as aligned with their interests and we see no reason why the bank should have any issues with these exceptional directors. We believe any attempt to deny these directors a vote – out of self-preservation or self-interest – may be a catalyst for an eventual sub $1 per share stock price, significantly handicap the bank’s ability to raise future capital to carry out its mission and present going concern risk. Dream Chasers believes it has the tacit support of a large percentage of Craver’s shareholders and we remain open to negotiation for the benefit of all shareholders. We encourage the Board to do the right thing as shareholder watch. About nominee #1: Jeff Anderson: Mr. Anderson is 63 yr. old and a recently retired financial executive with J.P. Morgan where he previously served in a CFO role that oversaw 850 tri-state area banking centers and at the time comprised of an income statement with $3.7 billion in revenue, $1.7 billion in pretax earnings as well as a balance sheet of $100 billion in deposits and investments, and $15 billion in loans…About Nominee #2: Jeffrey John Bailey: Mr. Bailey is Carver’s largest individual shareholder and owns between approximately 5 to 8% of the bank’s equity. Mr. Bailey is a serial entrepreneur, who over the last 30 years, has founded and successfully implemented business plans, strategies and hired teams to execute such plans resulting in millions of dollars in revenues and profits and delivering investor returns. Mr. Bailey shares a lifelong passion in wanting to see communities of color do better and has supported such endeavors over the years with capital and action. In conclusion, the time for new blood, new energy and new ideas is now. You the shareholders, you the real owners of the bank, you, some of whose investments are down 80%, get to decide. No longer can shareholders afford to sit idle and have a board, who own very little of the company shares, continue to – out of self-preservation, status quo and cronyism – resist positive changes while offering no good ideas to deliver shareholder value. It is your hard-earned money at stake. We encourage shareholders – retail and institution – to show up and vote for our nominees at the bank’s upcoming annual meeting.”
