Cambridge Bancorp Condenses Annual Meeting of Shareholders

To protect the health and safety of employees and shareholders through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambridge Bancorp (“Cambridge”) has decided to substantially condense its annual meeting of shareholders to be held at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, May 18, 2020 and to move the meeting to the Cambridge Trust Wealth Management office at 75 State Street, 18th Floor, Boston, MA 02109. We ask that shareholders utilize the proxy voting procedures as outlined in the proxy statement for the meeting and promptly submit their proxy by telephone, Internet or by signing and returning the proxy card by mail.

To comply with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) as well as orders issued by the governor of Massachusetts, Cambridge is strongly recommending against attendance this year. The meeting is anticipated to be completed in less than 10 minutes, and the customary information provided at Cambridge’s annual meetings will be made available following the formal meeting. Attending the meeting will greatly increase the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 as well as the risk that others will become infected with the disease.

In order to comply with the Massachusetts Governor’s order prohibiting the gathering of 10 or more people, if an eligible shareholder is considering attending, Cambridge asks they contact Cambridge as soon as possible at (617) 520-5520 to register to attend the meeting. Shareholders who do not register prior to the annual meeting will not be permitted to attend the meeting. In the event the ban on gatherings of 10 or more people is rescinded prior to the date of the annual meeting, shareholders will be permitted to attend regardless of whether they registered in advance.

In addition, if an eligible shareholder is considering attending the meeting, Cambridge asks that they closely monitor the CDC’s, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s and the Massachusetts Governor’s guidance and restrictions regarding traveling and public gatherings since the situation with respect to COVID-19 is changing rapidly.
