Several of the largest financial services companies in the world, including JP Morgan and Amex, entered the prepaid market. 2. GDOT also lost exclusivity with all it’s major retailers. 3. GDOT tightened risk controls to mitigate card fraud risk. GDOT Q2 2012 Earnings call “Taking the combined effect of these various new controls, we estimate that the growth impact to our overall portfolio has been on the order of 5 to 10 percentage points.” “We recently learned that more of our retailers will begin selling competitive GPR products in addition to our products, in some cases beginning in late 2012.” “Given this uncertainty, we have taken what we believe to be a conservative view of how sales might be negatively impacted and you see that view reflected in our re-forecast.” We PROACTIVELY warned investors on the Q2 2012 earnings call of the increasing level of competition and tightened risk controls as well as how these might impact our business.

This contract was also coming up for renewal at the end of 2014. These pricing schemes continue to impact active card revenue through today. In 2014 after months of planning and analysis with customers and regulators, GDOT starts the carefully planned process of proactively withdrawing MoneyPak from the market due to consumer-assist fraud issues. This process continues into early 2015. In 2013 and 2014 we were impacted by two events that were largely out of our control – changes to MoneyCard’s (40%+ of GDOT’s revenue) pricing to consumers and the removal of MoneyPak. MoneyCard’s pricing was not our decision. We decided to remove MoneyPak to mitigate regulatory risk, and proactively protect retailers, our customers and our reputation as a consumer advocate from fraud exposure. These two events wiped out ~$130 million in annualized revenue and ~$40 to $45 million in annualized adjusted EBITDA over a two-year period.

Consolidate the marketplace in prepaid – acquired AccountNow and Achieve. 2. Diversification into adjacent complementary categories of payments - acquired TPG, a tax processing business, which creates additional channels for future growth. 3. Developed a mobile banking platform to diversify revenue base, expand into additional customer segments and provide technology for future product launches. 4. Received 6-month extension of MoneyCard contract in December 2014, then renewed contract in June 2015 for a five-year term. In the second half of 2015, competition begins to retreat; Amex shrinks its prepaid division Walmart MoneyCard contract renewed TPG acquired AchieveCard and AccountNow acquired In 2015 acquisitions drove revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, but depreciation and amortization (from technology investments) and share issuances (related to acquisitions) mitigated Non-GAAP diluted EPS growth Amex and other prepaid providers begin to retrench During this challenging time period, management and the board did not sit idle. We pursued a strategy of consolidation and diversification to mitigate risk around the concentration of revenue tied to GDOT’s largest contract.

“GDOT's 1Q revs and EPS solidly beat JEFe/Street due to outperformance in the core biz and a revenue pull-forward related to tax refund season. The company raised F16 revs/adj. EPS guidance by $5M and EPS by $0.04, which may prove conservative given the pending impact of recent product launches. In addition to the roll-out of previously announced MoneyPak 2.0 products, GDOT also announced new functionality for Uber's instant fare payment system which allows users to direct deposit payments to any debit card..signed a multi-year agreement with Member Benefits Corp to provide products to its over 2M union members…added several new distribution outlets through both expansion of existing relationships (ie., renewals and better placement at CVS & 7-Eleven) and new contracts (eg, 732 locations at Stater Brothers and Kwik Trip). Ramsey El-Assal, Jefferies, 5/4/16 “GDOT reported strong headline Rev/EPS results that were ~$5M/$0.04 ahead of internal plan (~$17M/$0.07 ahead of Street estimates) and increased its conservative 2016 outlook for the beat….GDOT shares are up 35% YTD, versus a 2% rise in the S&P 500. GDOT continues to see $1.75 in EPS in ’17, driven by fee increases, cost savings and share repurchases……Competition is easing and GDOT appears to be taking a page out of the fleet card issuer’s playbook and pricing for value, potentially sacrificing market share and account growth for be tter portfolio economics, which we think is the right decision.” Tien-tsin Huang, CFA, J.P. Morgan, 5/5/16 Top Analysts That Follow Green Dot Agree Our Strategy Is Working “On its earnings call, GDOT provided FY17 EPS guidance of $1.75+ and a roadmap which includes new product launches, cost-saving initiatives, and share-holder friendly capital allocation strategy……If the company were to deliver on its new initiatives throughout FY16 and its FY16 guidance, we believe it would reintroduce confidence in the growth potential and management team’s ability to execute, potentially providing upside to valuation multiples….we believe the company has improved its modeling and guidance philosophy. We also believe the accelerated share repurchase program could potentially provide upside to FY16 EPS guidance of $1.35 - $1.40.” Ashish Sabadra, Deutsche Bank, 2/24/16 19

• In February 2016, announced a process to identify strong new candidates to expand Green Dot’s Board of Directors. Goal was to strengthen the board and address Harvest’s criticisms – Sought input from top ten shareholders to identify and recruit for highly-qualified directors - Harvest declined to collaborate – Offered to appoint George Gresham, one of Harvest’s nominees, directly to the Board as part of this process - Mr. Gresham declined • In April 2016, announced the addition of three exceptional new independent directors with extensive financial technology and public company experience – Chris Brewster, recently retired CFO of Cardtronics, the largest global ATM company – Raj Date, Managing Partner of Fenway Summer, a venture capital firm focused on financial services; director of leading “FinTech” companies; first leader of the CFPB – Bill Jacobs, Chairman of Global Payments and former MasterCard executive • Concurrently announced the retirement of a non-independent director - the Board now includes nine independent directors and Mr. Streit Highly Experienced; Highly Relevant Highly Independent Delivered on Promise to Expand Board Three Exceptional New Independent Directors 28
Pro-Investor Governance Changes 29 • The Board values productive conversations with our investors • Based on these constructive conversations, we have made or committed to a number of governance changes that we believe are in the best interests of the Company and our investors: – The appointment of three highly qualified directors with extensive experience in the payments and financial services industries – The adoption of “Proxy Access” to take effect for next year’s annual meeting of stockholders – Recommended approval of “majority voting” stockholder proposal – The complete re-engineering of compensation programs for all NEOs and executive management to be 100% performance-based
Why Won’t Harvest Engage With Green Dot? 30 GREEN DOT’S ATTEMPTS TO SETTLE WITH HARVEST Before Harvest voiced its concerns publicly, Green Dot and its board held multiple meetings and discussions with Harvest and offered to provide Harvest executives with temporary insider status, including regular ongoing updates with Green Dot’s board and management team, so that Harvest could independently assess Green Dot’s non-public strategic plans, its ongoing achievement of those plans and evaluate its future prospects. Harvest declined Green Dot’s offer. After the filing of Harvest’s 13D, Green Dot offered to collaborate with Harvest on the selection of directors for an expanded Board and subsequently offered Harvest the opportunity to name one member to be appointed immediately to Green Dot’s board. Harvest declined both offers, indicating it would not entertain any offers unless they included the prompt transition of our CEO and replacement of directors. Mr. Streit, Green Dot’s CEO, even offered to take no equity for two years and align his 100% performance-based cash incentive opportunity to be consistent with our Six-Step Plan. Harvest rejected the offer, indicating it would not entertain any offers unless they included the prompt transition of our CEO and replacement of directors. After Harvest publicly proposed its nominees, Green Dot convened a meeting of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to assess Harvest’s nominees. The Committee concluded that while Mr. Fanlo and Mr. Livingston were not suitable for board service due primarily to negative findings from its investigation into their backgrounds and/or references, Mr. Gresham was suitable because he has relevant professional and industry experience and there were no negative findings from the Committee’s investigation into his background and references. As such, Green Dot reached out directly to Mr. Gresham and offered to immediately appoint him to Green Dot’s board. Mr. Gresham declined to be appointed to Green Dot’s board. After Mr. Gresham declined Green Dot’s offer to join its board, Green Dot delivered on its promise made to investors on its February 2016 earnings call and appointed three proven and exceptional new independent directors. Chris Brewster, Bill Jacobs and Raj Date joined the Green Dot board immediately upon their appointment on April 11, 2016. In addition, Green Dot announced the retirement of a non-independent director, meaning that the Board now includes nine independent directors and Mr. Streit.

Under Fanlo’s leadership KFN share price declined 97%(4) • In December 2008 Fanlo was replaced by KKR(5) • Fanlo was sued in U.S. Federal Court and in California Superior Court by shareholders claiming that he breached his fiduciary duties by failing to acknowledge the Company’s exposure to mortgage debt(6) • Separated from Capmark Board prior to the end of term few months before the company declares for bankruptcy(7) • We were informed that, in reference checks with a number of former colleagues, some described Mr. Fanlo as volatile, having interpersonal issues and alleged that he was terminated from KFN for behavior unbecoming of a senior executive 39
“[KKR] has changed the leadership and focus of its underperforming and publicly traded debt business, KKR Financial. KKR replaced [CEO] Saturnino Fanlo……in order to convince investors that it is doing everything it can to turn around its business.”(14) Fanlo’s Epic Track Record of Value Destruction at KKR Financial 40 $0 $5 $10 $15 $20 $25 $30 $35 KKR Financial Performance (NYSE: KFN) 2/15/07 – 12/15/08(8) Fanlo downplays KFN’s exposure to mortgage backed securities, claiming that the Company was doing well and had sufficient liquidity(9) KFN announces a net loss of approx. $40.0MM on sale of residential mortgage assets(10) In 2007 KFN losses $100.2 million(11) Under Fanlo, KFN loses $1.2 billion in the 4Q ’08(13) KFN stock closes at $0.75 per share the day Fanlo abruptly departed; stock down 97% during his tenure(12) Would you want Nino Fanlo on your board?
41 Philip Livingston Harvest calls him an outstanding “roll up your sleeves” executive that they “meticulously recruited” Jeff Osher says Philip Livingston has been “meticulously recruited” to serve on Green Dot’s board and to even step-in to run the company.(15) Nevertheless, questions about his credentials include: • He claims on both his LinkedIn and Twitter resumes that he holds the position of Chief Operating Officer of “UASUSA,” a manufacturer of small drone devices. But a UASUSA press spokesperson stated that the COO is a different individual. We believe Mr. Livingston is a salesman at UASUSA and has only been employed there for 90 days.(16) • On Mr. Livingston’s website (phillivingston.com) he indicates he is a CPA. But it is alleged in a recent lawsuit filed in another activist campaign that Mr. Livingston hasn’t had a CPA license for over a decade.(17) Litigation history raises questions regarding his suitability as a director • Named in two lawsuits in the past 90 days in his capacity as a director nominee in another activist campaign(18)
42 Philip Livingston Harvest calls him an outstanding “roll up your sleeves” executive that they “meticulously recruited” Appointed CEO of Ambassadors Group (NASDAQ: EPAX) as part of a dissident takeover. • He then told investors: “The company will in the long term deliver profitability.”(19) • Sixteen months later, Mr. Livingston told investors “we are closing the business after over 5 years of declining revenue and profits.”(20)
43 Livingston’s Track Record - Value Destruction at Ambassadors Group $0.0 $0.5 $1.0 $1.5 $2.0 $2.5 $3.0 $3.5 $4.0 $4.5 $5.0 Sto c k Pric e Ambassadors Group Stock Price Performance (NASDAQ:EPAX) 7/30/2014 - 10/23/15(21) Livingston states the Company will in the long- term deliver profitability, a stronger balance sheet and shareholder value.(22) Ambassadors’ shareholders voted to approve the dissolution of the company on October 13, 2015(24) On October 23, 2015, Ambassadors was dissolved and its stock delisted from trading on NASDAQ, 61% decline from the July announcement(23) Would you want Phil Livingston on your board? Harvest thinks he’s qualified to serve as an interim executive
Questionable Judgment • Mr. Livingston has posted on social media expressing seemingly controversial views inappropriate of a public board member of any company, let alone a company as highly regulated and politically sensitive as Green Dot • Recent tweets address topics including: African Americans and diversity, “black cops” compared to “white cops,” and his frustration with Wells Fargo • He accuses leading African American Public Relations executive and President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, of making her organization sound “stupid” in response to her speech about the need for the Academy to do a better job of being inclusive of people of color. • Additionally, while Mr. Livingston may think Wells Fargo “treats people like crap,” Wells Fargo treats Green Dot very well as it serves as one of its most important business partners, including serving as co-lead for its debt syndicate. 44
Mr. Livingston shares concerning views on social media 45 Investors need to know the truth about Harvest’s candidates
Livingston’s reckless use of social media Would you want a person with this kind of judgment serving on the board of Green Dot? 46
George Gresham • Owns no GDOT stock • Former CFO of NetSpend Holdings Inc. • Interviewed for Green Dot CFO position in 2015 • Declined to continue to pursue the CFO interview process, further indicating he was not willing to re- locate to California • Never served on a public board of directors • An architect of NetSpend’s overdraft fee plan that is now the subject of pending regulation • In an effort to help settle the proxy contest in a mutually fair manner, Green Dot offered to appoint George Gresham directly to the Board as part of its search process for new board members; he declined 47
Can You Trust Jeff Osher and Harvest? – While its clear that Harvest is deeply unhappy with Green Dot’s board and CEO, it is not clear that Harvest has any viable plan – Of the plans that Harvest does propose, they appear to be a copy of those plans announced and put into action by the Company prior to Harvest’s 13D filing – Harvest’s plans for Green Dot’s balance sheet and lending initiatives would not be allowable under Green Dot’s regulatory guidelines as a bank holding company – Based on the unusually personal nature of Harvest’s attacks, the fact that Harvest has refused to engage in any way to settle, Harvest’s failure to acknowledge any of the company’s demonstrable progress and the concerning nature of Mr. Osher’s choice of board candidates in aggregate, in our view, should leave investors questioning Harvest’s motives 48
Can You Trust Jeff Osher and Harvest? • They’ve been praising Green Dot and Mr. Streit privately prior to filing their 13D: – “We are highly confident you are acting in a manner that is in the best interest of long-term shareholders.” • 2/06/14 email from Don Destino, COO of Harvest Capital, to management of Green Dot – “We are big advocates of Green Dot, the vision, and Steve Streit.” • 2/11/15 email from Jeff Osher, Portfolio Manager of Harvest Capital, to management of Green Dot – “As always, I appreciate the dialogue and your responsiveness. We are very much on the same team (wearing Green Dot uniforms).” • 3/11/15 email Jeff Osher, Portfolio Manager of Harvest Capital, to management of Green Dot 49
Harvest has the Wrong Agenda and CANNOT Be Trusted Harvest has offered no new ideas or strategy Harvest essentially copied the Green Dot’s December 2015 investor presentation as the “Harvest Plan,” and now wants to appoint 3 directors – and a new CEO Harvest has failed to recognize the achievements of management and the board during an unprecedented period of change brought on by substantial competition from several of the largest financial institutions, key customer renewals and product adjustments to protect against fraud disruption and regulatory threats Harvest’s objective is to reset the Board and terminate the CEO at a time when shareholders are just beginning to realize the financial rewards of the Company’s winning strategy and execution If Harvest succeeds in effecting change, it’s not clear what they would do next or if they even have a plan you can trust 50
51 Harvest’s Misrepresentations
Harvest's Platform is Based on Misrepresentations and Untruths 52 The Facts Unlimited access to the board and independent directors as well as hundreds of meetings, phone calls and emails with management and Board members; yet Harvest discontinued private engagement and launched disruptive public campaign; dismissed multiple settlement proposals; anything short of adopting Harvest’s full agenda is considered unconstructive Has not put forward any coherent strategic plan - essentially copied Green Dot’s Dec. 2015 disclosure, suggested adding three dissident nominees and terminating CEO This proposal demonstrates Harvest’s lack of industry knowledge and understanding of the bank regulatory environment within which Green Dot operates. Mr. Streit, management and the Board guided the Company through an unprecedented competitive environment from 2012-2015, yet still grew revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Competitors are now retreating Mr. Streit and management have successfully diversified our revenue away from Walmart – from 63% in 2010 to 46% in 2015. Green Dot’s executive officers have an average tenure of 7 years Green Dot’s significant acquisitions have performed consistent with expectations provided in the Company’s financial guidance. Green Dot has the most active new product development pipeline in the Company’s history. Harvest False Claims(25) “We want to re-emphasize that Harvest’s preferred path remains a constructive engagement with the Board.” “We have a plan for creating long-term shareholder value.” Green Dot Bank’s “capital base can support a portfolio of several billion dollars of state and federal government guaranteed debt…” “Mr. Streit didn’t appropriately diversify the business.” “Mr. Streit failed to anticipate competitive threats.” “Mr. Streit didn’t attract and retain executive talent.” “Mr. Streit didn’t deliver on acquisition targets.” “Mr. Streit didn’t drive product development.”
Harvest's Platform is Based on Misrepresentations and Untruths The Facts Green Dot’s stock price has appreciated over 35% since the company disclosed its new product initiatives in December 2015. Total Shareholder returns on a 1 and 3 year basis have outperformed our Prepaid Industry Peer Group. JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank and Jefferies all have positive views of Green Dot’s Six-Step Plan. All of Harvest’s calculations include overdraft fees which analysts’ estimate are over 40% of NetSpend’s profit and are at risk under new CFPB proposed rules.(27) The removal required months of planning and analysis with customers and regulators. As such, Green Dot retained the significant portion of its reloading customer base and transitioned retailers to swipe reloading. The acquisition of Loopt created what is today the technology that runs GoBank, Uber and the current prepaid products platform. This technology is driving millions of dollars of savings in 2016 Harvest misquotes the difference between acquired revenue and GAAP revenue; transactions counts and EBITDA have performed as expected “Mr. Streit has failed to generate returns for shareholders.” “Sell-side analysts support Harvest’s campaign.” “Green Dot poorly executed MoneyPak’s removal” “Green Dot has underperformed NetSpend.” “Management squandered capital in Loopt acquisition.” “TPG has fallen short of expectations” “Mr. Streit is not viewed favorably by employees. ” 53 Harvest False Claims(26) The identity of even a single individual Harvest purportedly interviewed who criticized Mr. Streit’s management style remains hidden – yet Harvest used Glassdoor postings, which are low quality anonymous online postings as proof of employees’ unfavorable views of Mr. Streit

55 Conclusion
Green Dot Is Creating Significant Shareholder Value Don’t Derail the Company’s Positive Momentum • Green Dot’s stock has appreciated 35%* since management publicly disclosed new initiatives to drive future growth • Green Dot’s clear Six-Step Plan is on track – investors are just beginning to realize the financial rewards of the Company’s winning strategy and execution • Green Dot’s Board’s nominees have the right experience to oversee the execution of Green Dot’s current strategy and enhance long-term shareholder value • Wrong time to effect board and senior leadership changes, damage key business and regulatory relationships and destabilize the Company’s ability to execute • Harvest has no track record, has proposed no plan, doesn’t understand our bank holding company limitations, has proposed two questionable board nominees and they have insisted that any outcome short of Harvest’s full agenda is considered unacceptable 56 Vote FOR Our Nominees on the WHITE proxy card Source: *FactSet
