The provisions of the ESOP require the Trustee to vote the shares held by the ESOP which have not been allocated to specific accounts (or with respect to allocated accounts for which no instructions are timely received) on each issue with respect to which shareholders are entitled to vote in the proportion that the participants had voted the shares allocated to their accounts with respect to such issue. As of December 31, 2000, a total of 246,710 shares of Corporation common stock have been allocated to participants' accounts. The Trustee has the right to sell allocated shares held by the ESOP, the proceeds from which are allocated to the accounts of individual participants. The Trustee also may sell unallocated shares, to the extent such shares are not pledged to secure borrowed funds. First Bankers Trust Company, N.A. has the authority under the HMN Financial, Inc. 1995 Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) to vote all restricted shares held under the RRP, in its sole discretion, at any annual and special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation.

Absent such direction by the Board of Directors, cash from the payment of dividends is retained in the accounts of participants or, to the extent permitted by law, may be used to repay the ESOP loan. With respect to unallocated shares, cash received from the sale of shares or payment of dividends is retained in the ESOP trust and may be used to purchase additional shares or to repay the ESOP loan.
