MESSAGE FROM TEE BROWN

From the beginning, GMFS has widely based much of our
business growth and perception on personal relationships
and word of mouth. Largely thanks to our great employees,
offering exemplary customer service for eighteen years,
GMFS has grown to be a trusted name in mortgage lending.
For the past five years we have experienced great success
in our marketing efforts, especially with radio. Radio, along
with TV, print and event sponsorships have helped spread
the word about our great company. In collaboration with
our existing advertising, we are adding a new level of social
media advertising.

As we make this expansion, we will be ready with a dominant, aesthetically pleasing
and easy-to-navigate website for visitors, no matter their industry knowledge or lack
thereof. From SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and traffic, to branding, to connecting
to resources and filling out forms with specific LOs, our website affects our entire
real and perceived presence. For this reason, an all-new, state-of-the-art, corporate
website is currently under construction. And that’s only the beginning.

Effectively driving traffic through social media platforms is imperative. From industry
news to feel-good quotes and everything in between, our corporate social media forums
should capture and drive audiences. It’s like doing what we’ve done from the beginning
by word-of-mouth, but now, word-of-mouth is in the form of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,
Instagram and the like. A first-time, full-scope, social media strategy is in development
phase. This ultimately means that shared content will seamlessly transcend across
web and all actively engaged social media forums, allowing for better engagement and
more timely responses.

As we turn our corporate model to social media engagement, I encourage each of you
to use your personal social media sites to responsibly post, comment, tag and tweet. I
ask you use original or shared, positive/informative GMFS content about our corporate
culture, products, processes and helpful information.

In closing, stay engaged in corporate culture, stay social and share about your work
with others. Stay tuned for an all-new web and social media presence. We plan to have
fully launched web and social media plans by end of Q2.

TeeSincerely,

THE A(GENT) TEAM
with Tony Moore

Production at an All-Time February High
with Fewer Staff

The Agent Team is off to a fast start in 2017, closing Q1 with 89 units at

$17,318,327. Company Vice President and Agent Team Manger, Tony Moore

says, “This has been our best first quarter ever.” And the Agent Team is accomplishing
this with two fewer teammates from the previous year. The goal for the Agent Team in
2017 is to have their first $70,000,000.00 year.

2017 Goal

To have our first $70,000,000.00 year.

Tony’s team is happy to announce two
new sources:

Total Choice FCU and Anthem Bank.

Switching sides (of the office):

Terry Davis left the Agent Team in mid-February to join the Wholesale Underwriting
Team.

The Agent Team wishes Terry the best of luck on the other side of the office where
she will help GMFS produce loans.

“As with almost all of our departments here at GMFS, we are still feeling the effects of
last year’s flood,” sites Tony. Several in the Agent Team are in the rebuilding phase
post-flood. Tony continues to be impressed by the motivation and positive attitudes
of his group, despite their personal trials saying, “I can’t thank them enough for
their fabulous work ethic.” GMFS Agent Team members impacted by floods include
Amanda Duke, Katie Peters and Jessica Flores.

On the Horizon ffor Q2:

David D’Antoni is working to nail down some accounts. The team goal is to add
three or four more by summer.

Leading marketing efforts for the Agent Team is GMFS Marketing VP, Derek Talbot,
who recently presented his strategy for 2017 Agent Team Marketing Support. The
goal is to provide marketing assistance to our smaller banks which includes:

• Enabling online 1003 applications
• Providing web content (e.g. pages, banners, links)
• Offering bank stuffer campaigns for mailed letters
• Providing branch internal visuals (e.g. posters, signage and specific

campaign content)
• Direct mailing from the bank to their customers and prospects
• Developing content for emails from the bank to their customers and

prospects
• Being available to assist with miscellaneous marketing needs

THE SECONDARY TEAM

“Challenge the Norm!”

Responsibilities:

Pricing, Locking, Funding, Selling and Shipping your loans

2017 Goal

Save GMFS money through improved efficiencies

How They Work:

The entire Secondary Team offers input on improvements during monthly meetings.

Improvements So Far:

• The Comm-Sold Number has dropped by almost two days over last
year.

• The implementation of Fannie Mae’s Early Check, an operational
change in the shipping department, has already started to show
positive change.

• Our Lock Desk continues to manage high volumes with low FTE
(and always with a smile).

• Lock volume YTD 2017 is up over the same time period in 2016.
• New Rate Sheets for our TPO department.
• Enhanced initiatives and new materials from Marketing for both

Retail and TPO.

SECONDARY TEAM Q1 SPOTLIGHT:

Wendy LeBlanc

Senior Vice President of Secondary, Molly Wills, chose to highlight
Wendy saying, “Wendy makes it happen every day. She is a pivotal
piece of the puzzle here at GMFS.” You may not spot Wendy
throughout the building because she is at her desk, helping fund our
borrowers’ loans all day long, every day.
Wendy has been at GMFS 6+ years and is extremely dedicated to our
organization. Wendy has two beautiful daughters and a husband that
she spends most of her free time with.

Thanks Wendy!

WHOLESALE UPDATE
Billy Maxwell, SVP, TPO Manager

Overall drive and commitment from within GMFS is
reflecting a ROI for GMFS Partners.

The wholesale team is consistently working to improve internally and externally, and
it shows in our volume. Q1 reports indicate a wholesale volume increase of 40% over
this same time last year. A number of factors back this marked upturn.

On the whole, both the median real estate price and consumer confidence are
rising. We see this with an increase in purchasing transactions. According to the
US Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, consumer confidence across
the country has increased sharply through the beginning of 2017, ending Q1 with its
highest confidence level since December 2000. Adding to that, the latest Gallup Poll
on US Economic Confidence also shows an overall trend of confidence at its highest
since 2008.

The Wholesale volume increase is from both existing and new client partner
relationships. In the field, our District Directors show a better penetration in the
markets where we currently serve. Furthermore, GMFS Partners is proud to add
District Directors in Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas.

The GMF Corporate Marketing Team has done a wonderful job providing some much
needed support. Through a new branding effort with enhanced look, GMFS Partners
now offers more flyers, time sensitive announcements, weekly bulletins and there is
more to come. Anticipate big news in Q2 from Marketing.

While the District Directors serve as the initial relationship anchor, the staff behind
the scenes works tirelessly to ensure each borrower is given individualized attention
with the highest level customer service possible. Special kudos goes out to our
Underwriters, CRRs, and Set Up staff for their unparalleled level of excellence shown
in Q1.

“I send more than 90% of my business to GMFS because
you are the best. I always get quick responses and rapid
turn times. And I know you take care of my customers
after the closing with your servicing. It’s a win-win.”

Phil Latapie, Ace Mortgage Company
Covington, LA

THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

Cyber security alert from IT Manager, Joel Swetnam

You are protected by spam filtering within our email system which substantially limits
these emails from being received, however these systems are not bulletproof. Why?
Spammers and fraudsters use various spam filters to test tactics which will allow
messages to pass through the filter without detection. Perhaps most importantly,
spammers often use compromised email accounts of otherwise trusted sources to
send out emails. Do not provide any personal information to any solicited requests
for information including, but not limited to, your username and/or password.

Safe computing practices include a combination of how you technically protect your
computer by using software and security settings, coupled with the physical actions
you take. Your actions make a difference!

Selected RED FLAGS of phishing emails:

a) Poor spelling and grammar-while occasional typos happen, an
email filled with errors is a clear warning sign of a fraudulent email;
b) Random sender knows too much-phishing has advanced in recent
years to include spear phishing which is an email or offer designed
specifically for our business. Culprits take details from public channels
and use these against you. The only clue? This sender is unknown;
c) The URL or email address is not quite right-one of the most effective
techniques is to use domains that sound almost right like
www.gmfslending.info.com or [email protected]. Hover over
the link with your mouse and review where it will take you. If it doesn’t
look right, or is completely different for the link text, this is a red flag;
d) It asks for personal, financial or business details-alarm bells should
ring when a message contains a request for this type of information
and you should delete these.
e) It asks you to sign in using your GMFS credentials –you will NEVER
be asked to sign in on a third party website by the IT department. If
you are asked to enter that information contact IT with a HelpDesk
Ticket immediately.

If you have questions regarding the validity of an email prior to opening the
attachment, please send IT department a HelpDesk ticket and we can evaluate the
email for you. If you have opened the attachment, or clicked the link in a suspect
email, it is even more crucial that you contact us immediately.

TIPS:

1. Use the SendSecure DataMotion to transmit non-public information.

2. Given the changing environment of cyber security, we HIGHLY
ENCOURAGE you to participate in a refresher, interactive phishing course.
Just submit a HelpDesk ticket and IT will forward content to you.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
UPDATE

by In House Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer Robin
Campbell

The CFPB and GSE’s have issued various initiatives in the mortgage servicing
industry, such as:

• Updates to TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure, (TRID)
• Mortgage Servicing Rule
• Update URLA, (Uniform Residential Loan Application)
• UCD – Uniform Closing Dataset

While these initiatives have a large impact on the mortgage servicing industry, there
is one key initiative that is getting the primary focus at this time, and that is HMDA,
HMDA and more HMDA. The CFPB’s final rule amending Regulation C, (HMDA),
changes the types of institutions that are subject to Regulation C, changes the types
of transactions that are subject to Regulation C, changes the specific information that
covered institutions are required to collect, record, and report, and changes processes
for reporting and disclosing data.

GMFS LLC’s Compliance, Operations and IT groups are working with the appropriate
vendors and the Loan Operating System for readiness, implementation and training
for all initiatives, including the HMDA amendments.

Fun Fact on Robin:

Each February, my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
Incorporated, supports the American Heart Association in the fight
against heart disease against women. While our sorority colors
are salmon pink and apple green, for one day in February, our
pink goes red.

POST CLOSING

Look Out for Loan Exemption Emails
from Rhonda and Rebecca

Post Closing Manager, Stacey Sweatfield, wants you to be aware of a new Post
Closing Audit Process for LE’s and CD’s has been implemented to ensure cures are
completed within the 60 day TRID cure requirement.

If you receive an email from Rhonda Robinson or Rebecca Fields regarding a loan
exemption, please respond as quick as possible so we can meet the TRID deadline
and remain in compliance.

Finishing the Q strong-
Q1 2017 v Q1 2016:

On the increased volume Toby says, “This is a good sign that our loan officers
are gaining ground with new relationships.”

• 2017 target is to reach at least 1,400 units and surpass $275 million

DENHAM SPRINGS

A Closer look at Aron Oberste

Aaron always has a smile on his face. He’s spent a lot of time handling processing for the Denham
branch, but in 2017, Aaron plans to focus more attention on being a loan officer. He’s been in the
GMFS family for five years and he thinks of his branch as an extension of his family.
After work and on weekends, Aaron likes to kayak fish with his father-in-law. You can often find him
at the Chandeleur Islands camping and fishing. Aaron and his wife (Aryn)have the same first name,
though spelled differently. His first job was working in a taxidermy supply company. Before working
at GMFS, he was a store manager at Lowe’s. Blake Maggio, Aryn’s first cousin, can be thanked for
introducing Aaron to our team.

We look forward to Aaron’s success in 2017.

Commissioner John Peterson

You just can’t keep John off the baseball or football field in Macon. Even though his
son is now a Freshman at LSU (and an intern at GMFS) and his daughter a high school
junior, John is still heavily involved in youth sports. He now coaches baseball at the
same recreational park he played at during his youth. John is the official baseball
coach for the mighty 10-U Mudcats baseball team with the Vining Ingle Little League.
And during football season, he is known as “The Commissioner” who runs the first
through sixth grade league. For the past 15 years John has worked to build his home
town youth football league from its infancy. His first job was as a peach packer on
a farm owned by family friends. He’s been in the industry for 25 years with five of

those with GMFS. His favorite thing about working as the
Branch Manager in Macon is being able to work with his
team. “Nobody thinks they are better
than the next,” says John, “we just foster
an attitude based on teamwork, and that
sets us apart.”

Marketing Coordinator & Analyst

Q1 Accomplishments-

The New Look of GMFS-
Created a new “look” for branding both Wholesale and Retail
The final product of the Q4 newsletter /Yearend report
Launch of Wholesale weekly bulletins and quarterly newsletters

When asked about her Q1 accomplishments, LeeAnne proudly stated that updating the brand
and look of GMFS “(these updates) have allowed me to contribute to GMFS and the
Marketing/PR team in bigger ways than at this time last year.”

2017 Goal-

In her own words, LeeAnne says, “Continuing to create marketing collateral and contribute
to our team material that represents the GREAT Company that GMFS is. I am working towards
bettering myself, my team and our company.”

What you may not know-

LeeAnne sits at the computer all day creating visuals for all divisions and departments of
GMFS, including items like print ads, billboards, forms, announcements, flyers, invites,
and more.

She’s a list maker. To stay on task she makes a daily list and prioritizing each request. The
catch is, with one phone call or email that can all change.

What you need to know-

LeeAnne knows that your graphics needs are important to you. She says, “I try to be
fair to everyone. I try to work in order of requests received while keeping the priority
levels the same.”

LeeAnne lines out her to-do list into these 3 general categories:

1-Corporate Initiatives

2-Branch Needs/requests

3-District Directors/Loan Officers requests

Pamela Matassa,
Director PR/Communications,
Strategic Initiatives and
Special Projects

Some of Q1 Accomplishments-

Introducing a new action plan model for LOs and DDs to track
support given/left to do and marketing/PR related expenditures. A
similar model is being used for event sponsorships and corporate
responsibility opportunities. It is difficult to track a true ROI for
marketing/PR support. However, this new model will give a more accurate idea of what we have done, from paid
advertising/sponsorships to unpaid social media and related support.

Governmental Relations- GMFS as a Resource Connector
Working with Tee to implement change to help impacted homeowners rebuild given the limited federal

allocation of recovery funds. This includes directly with both governmental and nonprofit organizations from national
to local levels. We’ve connected international, national, state-wide and local nonprofit and charitable organizations
and government entities with the intent of collaborating resources to rebuild together instead of independently of
each other. The goal is to have a program in place that can serve as a model for future disasters across the country.
Homeowners in need of rebuilding can now start signing up to choose selected nonprofits as contractors to rebuild
homes at roughly half the cost (or less) or regular contractors. Under this new model, nonprofits follow the same

guidelines, processes and inspections as other general contractors.

For our community-

• Co-branding with Mary Bird Perkins-Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center (where Tee serves on the Foundation’s Board of Directors)

• Implementation of the “Donation in Name of” program to send personalized letters from LOs and cards from corporate to recognize
a donation made in honor of every closed loan in 2017

• Social media ambassador for MBP-OLOL Cancer Center

• Worked with Michael Guest on MBP Employee Mortgage Solutions

• Arranged the first “Prevention on the GO!” company-wide cancer screening event (a first for us at GMFS as well as the first corporation
to offer “Prevention on the Go”)

• “The Taste” fundraiser at L’auberge- 20 Team GMFS members put in a combined 66 volunteer hours to assist in raising $350,000.00
(that’s $176,000.00 over 2016)

• Mayor’s initiatives- working on financial literacy and credit education online courses for high school students and adults

-Highlights of some of the additional support: Race for the Cure, Miracles at Mardi Gras, St, Joseph’s Academy Tennis Tournament,
District Director king cake giveaway, Named the GMFS room at the new OLOL Children’s Hospital

What you may not know-

Making our sponsorships stretch-
We do more than spend money to sponsor events. Our in-kind gifts have made an even bigger impact
according to leader of some of the events we have supported. In addition to paid support, we offer a variety of
in-kind gifts that make our gift-level sponsorship (of say a “bronze” level) elevate to what would be considered
the “platinum” or leading sponsor. We offer giveaways, radio spots, radio show segments turned to podcasts, co-
branded digital billboards, social media branding beyond the norm and other lagniappe that sets us apart.

Example of how we make the most out of a sponsorship opportunity-
Our Lady of the Lake RE/MAX “Miracles at Mardi Gras” event- Quote from Daniel Fields, Director of Children’s
Miracle Network Fundraising on “Miracles at Mardi Gras”-
“What you (GMFS) did in terms of in-kind support with social media and sharing to your employees to doing
whatever you can to help the RE/MAX team, without a doubt, is what makes this event so successful. We couldn’t
have this level of an event without you. If other companies did even half of what you did last year and this year,
there’s no telling where we’d be right now.”

Web Design With Stuart Poulton

If you have been around corporate headquarters while we’ve worked on videos and commercials, it’s
quite possible you’ve seen him. Or, you may have just heard yet another English accent (in addition to
Bionic Monkey’s Luke Betts) coming from the halls of the PR/Marketing area. That’s Stuart Poulton.

I’ve actually known Stuart since he first moved to Baton Rouge. We worked together for some time in the
television industry. He was a producer, director, website developer, and the list goes on. He’s recently
recorded our GMFS videos and commercials since August 2016. Now he will be spending time on our
new website.

After reviewing what seemed like hundreds of websites from countless industries, not just mortgage
lending, banking and real estate, we have now moved on to the first real steps. Marketing VP, Derek
Talbot, has been focusing his attention on these first phases with Stuart. In short, here’s the progress so
far:

• Project scope outlined 03/20/17.
• Content structure drafted 03/23/17.
• Navigation and Page Layout drafted 03/24/17.
• Network security meeting 03/30/17.
• Layout revisions 03/31/17.

Here’s a bit about Stuart:

Where were you born? England.
What was your very first job?
My first job was a professional ballet dancer, age 14, at the Royal Opera House in Covenant Garden.

What do you like to do when you are not at work? Spend time with my wife and two boys.

What do you like about working with GMFS? I have yet to meet a member of the GMFS team I
didn’t like. Everyone I have dealt with knows their stuff and respects others.

Our New Social Media Plan

Meet April Obeidzinski. She has been hired to set up, outline and guide a new multi-

platform social media plan. Over the next six months, April will work to implement strategies to better
brand and share GMFS content. Once we are all set and ready to go, the goal is to be able to promote
our products, branding and likeness across corporate, branch and individual social pages and feeds to
truly optimize our scope and reach.

Every LO has likely had direct communication with her already. So, I thought it might be nice to share a
bit about the one behind our social media frenzy.

Here are some tips from April on social media and posting.

1. Stay relevant. If customers aren’t aware of your brand and what it stands for, your business may
be spinning its wheels.

2. Encourage visitors. Besides sales opportunities, the more people you have visiting your site,
the more chances people have to engage with your blog content, click your social media widgets,
interact with your brand or share your site with friends and followers using your sharing buttons.

3. Direct visitors from social media to your GMFS page. The more time people spend on your
page, the more likely they are to buy from you.

4. CONTRIBUTE to GMFS! While employees can of course post our company’s content to their own
social networks, we also want you to feel free to contribute YOUR ideas and thoughts for posts on
our company pages. (And send those ideas to [email protected])

5. We WANT EACH OF YOU TO SHARE our company values and cultures. You are GMFS and
we are proud to have you on the team. We don’t want to transform Facebook postings and the
like into another task on your to-do lists by instituting policy. But know that as long as you keep
comments and posts truthful and positive, we’d love you to be an ambassador. This only helps us.

How long have you been doing this? Since 2013.

Give me a fun fact about you? I love music! I can play the

Secret to your work success? Honestly, failure is not an
option. If I don’t succeed, then I take a different tactic until I
accomplish what I have set out to do. However, no matter what
I am doing, my family always comes first.
