Dear Depositor:
 
Pursuant to a Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”), Mt. Washington Savings Bank will convert from the mutual to the stock form of organization and form a stock holding company. To accomplish the conversion, we need your participation in an important vote. Enclosed are materials describing the transaction, the offering and your voting rights. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
 
Enclosed, as part of these materials, is your proxy card. This proxy card should be signed and returned to us prior to the special meeting of depositors to be held on _____________, 2014 at _________. (Eastern Time) at the Bank’s offices at 2110 Beechmont Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio. Please take a moment now to sign the enclosed proxy card and return it to us in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you have more than one account, you may receive more than one proxy card.  These are not duplicate proxy cards.  Please vote by returning each proxy card received.  Alternatively, you can vote by telephone or by the internet, as instructed on the proxy card.  FAILURE TO VOTE EACH PROXY CARD HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS VOTING AGAINST THE PLAN.
 
If the Plan is approved let me assure you that:
 
  
existing deposit accounts and loans will not undergo any change; and

  
deposit accounts will continue to be federally insured to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
We regret that we are unable to offer you common stock in the subscription offering because the laws of your state or jurisdiction require us to register (1) the to-be-issued common stock of MW Bancorp, Inc. or (2) an agent of Mt. Washington Savings Bank to solicit the sale of such stock, and the number of eligible subscribers in your state or jurisdiction does not justify the expense of such registration.
 
If you have any questions regarding the transaction or how to vote, please call us, toll free, ______________, Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

Sincerely,
 
 
Gregory P. Niesen
 
President and Chief Executive Officer

Your vote is extremely important for us to meet our goals. Although we have received conditional regulatory approval, the Plan is also subject to approval by Mt. Washington Savings Bank’s eligible depositors.

Q&A
 
Questions and Answers
About our Conversion and Stock Offering
 
 
The shares of common stock being offered are not savings accounts or deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by
Mt. Washington Savings Bank, MW Bancorp, Inc., the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
 
This is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of common stock. The offer is made only by the prospectus.
 
 
 
 

 

 
This pamphlet answers questions about the conversion of Mt. Washington Savings Bank to the stock form of organization and the related MW Bancorp, Inc. stock offering. Investing in shares of common stock involves certain risks. Before making an investment decision, please read the enclosed Prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors”.
 
THE CONVERSION
 
What is the conversion?
 
Under our Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”), Mt. Washington Savings Bank is converting from the mutual to the stock form of organization. As a result of the conversion, a newly-formed company, MW Bancorp, Inc. will become the parent company of Mt. Washington Savings Bank. Shares of common stock of MW Bancorp, Inc. are currently being offered for sale.
 
What are the reasons for the conversion and offering?
 
Our primary reasons for converting to the stock form of ownership and undertaking the stock offering are to: increase our capital to enhance our financial strength and to support lending and deposit growth in communities we serve and to increase our lending limits; to retain and attract qualified personnel by establishing stock-based benefit plans for management and employees; to have greater flexibility to structure and finance the opportunistic expansion of our operations; and to offer our customers and employees an opportunity to purchase our stock.
 
Is Mt. Washington Savings Bank considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes?
 
Yes. At June 30, 2014, Mt. Washington Savings Bank exceeded all of the applicable regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized.”
 
Will customers notice any change in the Bank’s day-to-day activities as a result of the conversion and the offering?
 
No. It will be business as usual. The conversion is a change in our corporate structure. There will be no change to our Board of Directors, management, or staff.
 
Will the conversion and offering affect customers’ deposit accounts or loans?
 
No. The conversion and offering will not affect the balance or terms of deposits or loans, and deposits will continue to be federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, up to the maximum legal limit. Deposit accounts will not be converted to stock.
 
THE PROXY VOTE
 
Although we have received conditional regulatory approval, the plan is also subject to depositor approval. Why should I vote on the plan of conversion?
 
Your vote “For” the Plan is extremely important to us. Our Board of Directors believes that converting to a public structure will best support the Bank’s capital position during a period of economic uncertainty, help us to retain and attract qualified personnel, and enable us to offer you expanded services.
 
You have received a Proxy Statement describing the Plan, which cannot be implemented without depositor approval.  Voting does not require you to purchase common stock in the offering.
 
What happens if i don’t vote?
 
NOT VOTING HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS VOTING “AGAINST” THE PLAN.  Approval requires the affirmative vote of the majority of all votes eligible to be cast.  For this reason, failure to vote all the Proxy Cards you receive will have the same effect as voting “Against” the Plan. Without sufficient favorable votes, we cannot proceed with the conversion and the stock offering.
 
How do i vote?
 
You can vote by mail, internet, or telephone.  You can also drop off your signed proxy cards at the Bank’s office during normal office hours.  PLEASE VOTE PROMPTLY.
 
How many votes are available to me?
 
Depositors are entitled to one vote for each $250 on deposit, plus a proportional fractional vote for any remaining amount of such deposit.
 
Why did I receive more than one proxy card?
 
If you had more than one deposit account as of ________, 2014, you may have received more than one Proxy Card, depending on the ownership structure of your accounts. These are not duplicate Proxy Cards.  Please promptly vote by returning each Proxy Card you receive. Your vote will not be counted twice.
 
More than one name appears on my proxy card. Who must sign?
 
The names reflect the title of your deposit account. Proxy Cards for joint accounts require the signature of only one of the accountholders. Proxy Cards for trust or custodian accounts must be signed by the trustee or the custodian, not the listed beneficiary.
 
 
 

 

 
THE STOCK OFFERING AND PURCHASING SHARES
 
How many shares are being offered and at what price?
 
MW Bancorp, Inc. is offering for sale between 722,500 and 977,500 shares of common stock (subject to increase to 1,124,125 shares) at $10.00 per share. Investors will not be charged a commission to purchase shares of common stock in the offering.
 
Who is eligible to purchase stock during the stock offering?
 
Pursuant to our Plan, non-transferable rights to subscribe for shares of MW Bancorp, Inc. common stock in the Subscription Offering have been granted to eligible depositors of Mt. Washington Savings Bank.
 
Subscription Offering purchase priorities are as follows:
 
Priority 1 - To depositors with accounts at Mt. Washington Savings Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 at the close of business on June 30, 2013.
 
Priority 2 - Our tax-qualified employee benefit plans;
 
Priority 3 - To depositors with accounts at Mt. Washington Savings Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 at the close of business on September 30, 2014 who are not eligible in priority 1, above.
 
Priority 4 - To all other depositors with accounts at Mt. Washington Savings Bank at the close of business on _________, 2014 who are not eligible in priorities 1 or 3, above.
Shares of common stock not purchased in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale in a Community Offering, with a preference given to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in Hamilton and Clermont Counties, Ohio.
 
Shares not sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings may be offered for sale through a Syndicated Community Offering to the general public.
 
I am eligible to subscribe for shares of common stock in the subscription offering but am not interested in investing. May i allow someone else to use my stock order form to take advantage of my priority as an eligible accountholder?
 
No. Subscription rights are non-transferable! Federal regulations prohibit you from transferring your subscription rights.  If you order shares of common stock in the subscription offering, you will be required to state that you are purchasing the common stock for yourself and that you have no agreement or understanding to sell or transfer your subscription rights. On occasion, unscrupulous people attempt to persuade accountholders to transfer subscription rights, or to purchase shares in the offering based on an understanding that the shares will be subsequently transferred to others. Participation in such schemes is against the law and may subject involved parties to prosecution. If you become aware of any such activities, please notify our Stock Information Center promptly so that we can take the necessary steps to protect our eligible account holders’ subscription rights in the offering.
 
How may i buy shares during the subscription and community offerings?
 
Shares can be purchased by delivering a signed and completed original stock order form, together with full payment payable to MW Bancorp, Inc. or authorization to withdraw funds from one or more of your Mt. Washington Savings Bank deposit accounts, provided that the stock order form is received before 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on ________________, 2014.  You may submit your order form and payment by mail using the return envelope provided, by overnight delivery to the indicated address on the order form, or by bringing your order in person to the Bank’s office at 2110 Beechwood Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio.  We encourage subscribers to consider in-person or overnight delivery to enhance the likelihood that your order is received before the deadline.
 
What is the deadline for purchasing shares?
 
The deadline for purchasing shares of common stock in the subscription and community offerings is 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on ______________, 2014, unless we extend this deadline.  If you wish to purchase shares of common stock, a properly completed and signed original stock order form, together with full payment or authorization to withdraw funds from one or more of your Mt. Washington Savings Bank deposit accounts, must be received (not postmarked) by this time.
 
How may i pay for the shares?
 
Payment for shares can be remitted in two ways:  1.)  Personal check, bank check or money order made payable directly to MW Bancorp, Inc.; or 2.)  Authorizing us to withdraw available funds from the types of Mt. Washington Savings Bank deposit accounts designated on the stock order form. There is no penalty for early withdrawal from a certificate of deposit for the purpose of purchasing stock in the offering.
 
Mt. Washington Savings Bank is not permitted to lend funds to anyone for the purpose of purchasing shares of common stock in the offering.  Additionally, you may not use a Mt. Washington Savings Bank line of credit check or any type of third party check to pay for shares of common stock.  Please do not submit cash or wire transfers.  You may not designate withdrawal from Mt. Washington Savings Bank accounts with check-writing privileges; instead, please submit a check.  If you request that we directly withdraw the funds with a check from an account with check writing privileges, we reserve the right to interpret that as your authorization to treat those funds as if we had received a check for the designated amount, and we will immediately withdraw the amount from your checking account.  You may not authorize direct withdrawal from a Mt. Washington Savings Bank retirement account. See information on IRAs below.
 
 
 

 

 
Will i earn interest on my funds?
 
Yes. If you pay by personal check, bank check or money order, you will earn interest at 0.20% per annum from the day we process your payment until the completion or termination of the offering. At that time, you will be issued a check for interest earned on these funds. If you pay for shares by authorizing a direct withdrawal from your Mt. Washington Savings Bank deposit account(s), your funds will continue earning interest within the account at the contract rate. The interest will remain in your account(s) when the designated withdrawal is made, upon completion or termination of the conversion and offering.
 
Are there limits to how many shares I can order?
 
Yes. The minimum order is 25 shares ($250). No individual, or individuals exercising subscription rights through a single qualifying deposit account held jointly, may purchase more than 10,000 shares ($100,000) of common stock.  If any of the following persons purchase shares of common stock, their purchases, in all categories of the offering combined, when combined with your purchases, cannot exceed 25,000 shares ($250,000) of common stock:
 
your spouse or relatives of you or your spouse living in your house;
most companies, trusts or other entities in which you are a trustee, have a substantial beneficial interest or hold a senior position; or
other persons who may be your associates or persons acting in concert with you.
 
May I use my mt. washington savings bank individual retirement account (“IRA”) to purchase the shares?
 
You may use funds currently held in retirement accounts with Mt. Washington Savings Bank. However, before you place your stock order, the funds you wish to use must be transferred to a self-directed retirement account maintained by an independent trustee or custodian, such as a brokerage firm. If you are interested in using IRA or any other retirement funds held at Mt. Washington Savings Bank or elsewhere, please call our Stock Information Center as soon as possible for guidance, but preferably at least two weeks before the _______________, 2014 offering deadline. Your ability to use such funds for this purchase may depend on time constraints because this type of purchase requires additional processing time, and may be subject to limitations and fees imposed by the institution where the funds are held.
 
May I change my mind after I place an order to subscribe for stock?
 
No. After receipt, your executed Stock Order Form may not be modified, amended or rescinded without our consent, unless the offering is not completed by __________________, 2015.
 
Will the stock be insured?
 
No. Like any common stock, MW Bancorp’s stock will NOT be insured.
 
Will dividends be paid on the stock?
 
Following the completion of the conversion, our Board of Directors will have the authority to declare dividends on our common stock subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. However, no decision has been made with respect to the amount, if any, and timing of any dividends and payments.
 
How will mw Bancorp, inc. shares trade?
 
MW Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock is expected to be quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace (OTCPK) (www.otcmarkets.com) upon conclusion of the stock offering.
 
If I purchase shares in the offering, when and how will I receive my shares?
 
All shares of common stock sold will be issued in book entry form.  Stock certificates will not be issued.  A statement reflecting ownership of shares of common stock sold in the subscription offering and community offering will be mailed to the stock registration address noted by purchasers on the stock order form.  It is possible that until the ownership statements are delivered to purchasers, purchasers might not be able to sell the shares of common stock that they ordered, even though the common stock will have begun trading.  Your ability to sell the shares of common stock prior to your receipt of the ownership statement will depend on arrangements you may make with a brokerage firm.
