RULES OF CONDUCT

In the interest of a constructive meeting, and in order that all shareholders who wish to raise questions or make comments have a reasonable opportunity to do so, please observe the following rules of conduct during Ames National Corporation's annual meeting of shareholders:

  1. Shareholders as of the Record Date or their valid proxy holders will be able to participate in the annual meeting, including to vote and submit questions during the meeting. If you have submitted your proxy prior to the start of the meeting, your vote has been received by Ames National Corporation's Inspector of Election, and there is no need to vote those shares again during the annual meeting, unless you wish to change your vote.
  2. The only business to be conducted at the annual meeting are the matters set forth in Ames National Corporation's 2023 Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement.
  3. Shareholder questions pertinent to Company matters will be addressed as time allows during the meeting. To address questions from as many shareholders as possible during the meeting, we will limit each shareholder to three questions. If a shareholder submits more than one question, we may address only one of those questions and respond to questions submitted by other shareholders before addressing the additional questions.
  4. Questions should be briefly stated in one to two sentences; lengthy questions may be paraphrased or summarized.
  5. Questions from multiple shareholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related may be grouped, summarized, and answered together.
  6. Shareholder questions on the matters to be voted on by shareholders at the meeting should be submitted before or as those matters are presented. We will address questions pertinent to matters to be voted on by shareholders before voting is complete and the polls closed.
  7. Following adjournment of the formal business of the meeting, we will address general questions from shareholders pertinent to Ames National Corporation's business.
