Business Description

Tompkins Financial Corporation ("Tompkins" or the "Company") is headquartered in Ithaca, New York and is registered as a Financial Holding Company with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is a locally-oriented, community-based financial services organization that offers a full array of products and services, including commercial and consumer banking, leasing, trust and investment management, financial planning and wealth management services. At December 31, 2025, the Company had one wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Tompkins Community Bank. Banking services consist primarily of attracting deposits from the areas served by Tompkins Community Bank's 54 banking offices (38 offices in New York and 16 offices in Pennsylvania), and using those deposits to originate a variety of commercial loans, agricultural loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, and leases in those same areas. Tompkins Community Bank provides a full array of trust and wealth management services under the Tompkins Financial Advisors brand, including investment management, trust and estate, financial and tax planning. The Company previously provided insurance services through its wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. ("TIA"), but on October 31, 2025, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of TIA, to Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, LLC ("Gallagher"). The Company’s principal offices are located at 118 E. Seneca St., P.O. Box 460, Ithaca, New York, 14850, and its telephone number is (888) 503-5753. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol "TMP." Tompkins was organized in 1995, under the laws of the State of New York, as a bank holding company for Tompkins Trust Company (the "Trust Company"), a commercial bank that has operated in Ithaca, New York and surrounding communities since 1836. In January 2021, Tompkins combined its four wholly-owned banking subsidiaries into one bank, with the Bank of Castile, Mahopac Bank, and VIST Bank merging with and into the Trust Company. Immediately following the merger, the Trust Company changed its name to Tompkins Community Bank. The Tompkins strategy centers around its core values and a commitment to delivering long-term value to our clients, communities, and shareholders. A key strategic initiative for the Company is a focus on responsible and sustainable growth, including initiatives to grow organically through our current businesses, as well as through possible acquisitions of financial institutions, branches, and financial services businesses. As such, the Company has acquired, and from time to time considers acquiring, banks, thrift institutions, branch offices of banks or thrift institutions, or other businesses that would complement the Company’s business or its geographic reach. The Company generally targets merger or acquisition partners that are culturally similar and have experienced management and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of scale and expanded services. The Company has pursued acquisition opportunities in the past, and continues to review new opportunities. The Company also has defined strategic initiatives around digital delivery of services to meet the changing needs of client expectations, while maintaining our commitment to excellence in the delivery of personal service when self-serve options are unable to meet the needs of our clients. Our strategy includes a focus on building a scalable foundation based on a continuous improvement approach necessary for our long-term success. This foundation includes investments in automation, analytics and security to drive ongoing consistency, efficiency, and security in
