Adaptable Resourceful Diligent Resilient Steadfast Committed Table of Contents Letter to the Shareholders.....................i -ii 2020 Form 10-K...................................................1 Who We Are...................................................... 117 Providing Banking Solutions to Customers Where and How They Need Them. Dear Fellow Shareholders, Despite the economic and social challenges that occurred during 2020 caused • For the year, the Bank reduced its cost of funds (including non-interest by the COVID-19 pandemic, our top priorities during this year were to keep our deposits) by 62 basis points to 0.98%, compared to 2019. Edward J. Dietzler President Chief Executive Officer The Bank had a very strong year despite contending with the pandemic. staff safe, continue to assist our customers with their financial needs, and look for opportunities to enhance the value to you, our shareholders. The Bank of Princeton completed a successful year with earnings of $13.8 million, or $2.01 per diluted common share, representing a 36.1% increase over 2019. Total assets grew to $1.6 billion, a 10.2% increase from the year prior. These results and increasing the cash dividend were a part of the Bank’s strategic initiative of increasing shareholder value along with controlled prudent growth of the Bank’s loan portfolio, which grew $177.0 million during 2020. Total deposits increased $129.0 million during the same period. The Bank continued with its branch expansion by the addition of three new branches during 2020, expanding our territory into Lakewood and Piscataway, and increasing our presence within the Center City Philadelphia area with our Chestnut Street branch. With these additions, the Bank’s franchise expanded to twenty-four branches. Management’s focus is developing and expanding its market footprint through growth of new banking relationships. The Bank is approaching its 14th year of operation and continues its success by staying the course with its original core mission of targeting the commercial real estate and small business communities for their lending needs, and staying significantly involved in the community. The Bank’s strong capital position provides the opportunity for future organic growth, as well as the ability to take advantage of acquisition opportunities when they present themselves. Notable Highlights for 2020 • Net loans increased $178.3 million to nearly $1.37 billion at year-end 2020 and reflected a 15% increase year over year. • The efficiency ratio for 2020 declined to 52.6%, a significant improvement f rom the same period in 2019 ratio of 59.77%. • Participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provided over 1,500 loans to business and non-profit organizations totaling $183.5 million, and provided an increase in business checking accounts. Continuing its support of the community, the Bank is currently participating in the second phase of PPP loans, which commenced in January 2021, and already has over $80.0 million in 2021 commitments in this program. • The Bank successfully opened three new full-service branch locations: Lakewood in the 2nd Quarter 2020, and Chestnut Street in Center City Philadelphia and Piscataway, both in the 3rd Quarter 2020. • The Bank reduced the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans to below 0.12% as of December 31, 2020. Although 2020 was a difficult year for the banking industry, the Bank took steps to transition its funding structure and decrease its cost of funds by 176%, going from a 4th Quarter 2019 run rate of 1.57% to 0.68% for the 4th Quarter 2020. This transformational effort increased our net interest margin to 3.63% from 3.10% for the same comparative period. To help achieve this result, we repositioned our funding mix by decreasing our time deposits, which represented 40% of 4th Quarter 2019 funding, to 29% for the 4th Quarter 2020, and for the same period took non-interest-bearing checking from 12% of deposits to 17%. The uncertainty in credit quality caused by the COVID-19 pandemic made for a challenging time. Management took various actions to help insulate the Bank from the harm caused by a downturn in the economy. The Bank first slowed our traditional commercial production to hold our loans outstanding flat year over year, and allowed PPP loans (which are loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration) to grow to $175.9 million at year-end. In addition, the Bank worked with its current customers to modify payment terms on $263 million of loans during the year, of which $218 million returned to their original payments bringing the total at year-end down to $45 million. Finally, we recorded a $5.2 million credit provision, bringing our credit allowance to $16 million, or 1.35% of period end loans excluding PPP product. Non-performing loans actually declined during 2020 to $1.7 million at year-end 2020. Management is very pleased with the overall result of our credit initiatives. The Bank continues to make significant investments in digital technologies which allows our clients to remotely access the many Bank products and services. In addition, while our existing clients can benefit from this convenience, this technology also allows the Bank to recruit new consumer and business customers within our footprint and surrounding market areas. The Board and Management of the Bank remain committed to providing the highest level of customer service along with being a strong partner in the communities we serve. We are extremely proud of our employees for their response to the challenges of COVID-19. i ii 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Richard J.

The Bank has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption such that the Bank will not recognize ROU or lease liabilities for leases with a term less than 12 months from the commencement date. The Bank is obligated under 20 operating leases agreements for 19 branches and its corporate offices with terms extending through 2039. The Bank’s lease agreements include options to renew at the Bank’s discretion. The extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore it was considered in the calculations of the ROU asset and lease liability. The following table represents the classification of the Bank’s right of use and lease liabilities (Dollars in thousands): Operating Lease Right of Use Asset: Gross carrying amount Increased asset from new lease Prior lease liability Hindsight practical expedient adjustment Accumulated amortization Statement of Financial Condition Location December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 $ 14,533 5,768 - - (1,893) $ 12,817 3,685 (274) (219) (1,476) Net book value Operating lease right-of-use asset $ 18,408 $ 14,533 Operating Lease liabilities: Lease liabilities Operating lease liability $ 18,987 $ 15,040 For the year ended December 31, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease terms for operating leases was 12.4 years and the weighted-average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 2.95%. The Bank used current FHLB fixed rate advances at the time the lease was placed in service for the term most closely aligning with remaining lease term to determine the discount rate. 90 90 91 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 92 93 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Continued) For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2020, were as follows: (Level 1) Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 2) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs Total Fair Value December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands) Description Impaired loans $ - $ - $ - $ - $ $ 2,086 2,086 $ $ 2,086 2,086 For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2019, were as follows: (Level 1) Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 2) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs Total Fair Value December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands) Description Impaired loans $ - $ - $ - $ - $ $ 2,115 2,115 $ $ 2,115 2,115 The following table presents quantitative information with regards to Level 3 fair value measurements at December 31, 2020.

Description Fair Value December 31, 2019 Valuation Technique Unobservable Input (dollars in thousands) Discount Impaired loans Impaired loans $ 2 Cashflow 1 $ 2,113 Collateral 2 adjustment Discount adjustment Range (Weighted Average 6.0% ( 6.0%) 0.0% -23.8% ( 9.2%) 1 Fair value for this loan was determined through calculating the present value of future cash flows. 2 Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisal of the underlying collateral, primarily using comparable sales. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair value disclosures: Investment Securities The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) and held-to-maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value) Impaired loans carried at fair value are those impaired loans in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the related loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, discounted for estimated selling costs or other factors the Bank determines will impact collection of proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Other real estate owned (generally carried at fair value) Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value, less estimated selling costs, upon transfer of loans to other real estate owned. Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The discount adjustment from the appraised value is a significant unobservable input in the determination of the fair value for other real estate owned. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values. 96 96 97 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 98 99 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 100 101 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 102 103 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton Note 18 – Subsequent Events On March 9, 2021, the Board of Directors announced that is has adopted a stock repurchase program to commence on the later of April 1, 2021 or the date approval of such program is received from the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. Under the stock repurchase program, management is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of the Bank’s outstanding shares of common stock, with a total cost not to exceed $10.4 million. As of today, the Bank had 6,795,779 shares of common stock outstanding and five percent of such amount would be 339,788 shares. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Bank to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be limited, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. This program has been approved by the FDIC. On January 27, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on March 1, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2021. Note 19 – Risk and Uncertainties On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and continue to adversely affect economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Bank operates. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, market interest rates have declined significantly, with the 10-year Treasury bond falling below 1.00 percent on March 3, 2020 for the first time. Such events also have adversely affected business and consumer confidence, generally, and the Bank and its customers, and their respective suppliers, vendors and processors, have been adversely affected. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the targeted federal funds interest rate range by 50 basis points to 1.00 percent to 1.25 percent. This range was further reduced to 0 percent to 0.25 percent on March 16, 2020. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to, among other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will likely adversely affect the Bank's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital in future periods. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Bank. It is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements could be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including expected credit losses on loan receivables. On March 22, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus”. This guidance encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers that may be unable to meet their contractual obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. The guidance goes on to explain that in consultation with the FASB staff that the federal banking agencies conclude that short-term modifications (e.g. six months) made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a relief program are not Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”). Section 4013 of the CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that COVID-19 related modifications on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs. The Bank is actively assisting customers by providing short-term modifications in the form of deferrals of interest, principal and/or escrow for terms ranging from one to six months. On December 27, 2020, the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) was signed into law, providing for, among other things, further suspension (ending on the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates) of the exception for loan modifications to not be classified as TDRs if certain criteria are met. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank had 14 loans with a balance of $45.0 million remaining on deferral. Since December 31, 2020, there have been no new borrower request to have their loan modified using the guidelines set forth in the CARES Act. 104 104 105 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 106 107 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 108 109 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 110 111 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 112 113 The Bank of Princeton The Bank of Princeton 114 115 The Bank of Princeton Notes Who We Are Board of Directors Richard J.
