EXPLANATORY NOTE

Amalgamated Financial Corp., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”), was formed to serve as the holding company for Amalgamated Bank, a New York state-chartered bank and trust company (the “Bank”), as part of a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby each share of outstanding Bank Class A common stock will be exchanged for one share of the Company’s common stock. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), the Reorganization had not been completed, and remains subject to, among other things, approval by the Bank’s stockholders and the New York State Department of Financial Services. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2020, and the date of this Report, the Company had no assets or liabilities, and had not conducted any business other than that of an organizational nature. For informational purposes, the Bank’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) on November 6, 2020, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
