(d) On March 16, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Jay E. Gould and Charles F. Withee to the Board of Directors of Provident Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”).

There are no arrangements or understandings between either Mr. Gould or Mr. Withee and any other person pursuant to which each individual became a director. Neither Mr. Gould nor Mr. Withee is a party to any transaction with the Company or The Provident Bank that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.
