Letter from Our CEO To our Shareholders, customers, associates and the communities we are proud to serve: I am pleased to provide you with First Financial Corporation’s (“First Financial”) inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) report. I believe this report will provide you with information on ESG issues which are important to all of us as we plan for the future and our continued success. For over 185 years, First Financial, and its predecessors have dedicated themselves to meeting the needs of our stakeholders. This ESG report documents our commitment to addressing the critical issues such as sound corporate governance, an inclusive and diverse Board of Directors, a workforce which is prepared to meet the needs of our customers and the communities we serve, and our impact on the environment, preparing us to successfully address the effects of climate change on our business. Over the past year, we have committed a great deal of time and resources to gather the data and other information included in this report. We have also taken substantial steps to address various ESG issues. For example, over the past thirty months we have added nine new directors to the boards of First Financial Corporation and First Financial Bank. These new directors, coupled with our tenured members, possess professional backgrounds and experience necessary for our continued growth and a more diverse viewpoint.

diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout First Financial. During 2021, we recognized the need as well as the opportunity to optimize our retail banking centers to reduce our overall retail space and at the same time address changing customer preferences to electronic banking which greatly accelerated during the pandemic. This initiative allowed us to consolidate ten banking centers into nearby offices, reducing our consumption of electricity, gas and water, yet continue to provide the high level of service our customers know us for. These initiatives are just a glimpse of what we have accomplished. For our complete story please read the accompanying ESG Report. Sincerely,

We realize that if we are to understand and meet the needs of our associates, customers and the communities we do business in we must be representative of those stakeholders. In furtherance of that effort, we have created an officer level position committed to managing

Annual Highlights Our commitment to corporate social responsibility continued throughout 2021 despite the challenges and limitations presented by the global pandemic. Our dedicated associates worked tirelessly to provide essential and uninterrupted services to the communities we serve through a multi-channel approach. Our pandemic response and customer experience teams were tasked to keep our associates and customers safe. We closely followed the CDC guidelines as well as any heightened state and local requirements for the prevention and spread of Covid-19. Today, we continue 2

to make use of remote work when and where appropriate. Additionally, we provided incentives for our associates to become fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19. Despite the impact of the virus on the communities we serve, we remained open for business without interuption, fullfiling our obligation to meet the financial service needs of our customers. During 2021, we saw improvement and success in many other areas: • Our executive compensation program was overwhelmingly approved by 92% of

participating shareholders. • Our proposal to allow shareholders to amend our bylaws was approved, adding another layer of accountability and oversight. • We created a new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Officer position. • We continued to add diversity to our Board of Directors, adding a second female Director in as many years. • We committed to reporting and disclosing additional information to investors on ESG related topics and dedicated the resources necessary to deliver meaningful reporting

under the SASB Framework. • We finished 2021 with a workforce that is 78% gender or racially diverse. • We combined and optimized several branch locations to better meet the financial service needs of our communities while substantially reducing our expected energy and resource consumption. Based on prior usage (which excludes our year-end acquisition in Kentucky), we expect to reduce consumption in our legacy footprint by approximately 10%.

Stakeholder Engagement Actively engaging our stakeholders makes us a better company. Meaningful engagement allows us to understand the unique relationships we have and provides us with valuable insight needed to plan for future success. • S hareholders – We directly engage shareholders on matters such as executive compensation, corporate governance, financial performance, DEI, board diversity, risk management, ESG and other topics using a variety of means, which include our

Annual Meeting, investor conferences, direct investor calls and meetings, and through our website. • A ssociates – We engage and communicate with our team members through our intranet portal, email, training, in-person meetings, and special community events. Career development, data security, ethics, DEI, and customer privacy are examples of the targeted outreach to our colleagues.

• Clients/Customers – We communicate with our customers and clients daily. Whether it is in-person, via our call center, through our website, community events, social media, or research; we strive to keep our customers engaged on topics such as privacy, cybersecurity, financial literacy, banking services, and economic inclusion. Interacting with our customers provides us with valuable perspectives and insight.

• Regulators – We have an excellent relationship with our regulators, which is made possible by our commitment to clear reporting and access to information. We engage our regulators through exams, meetings and other requests that cover a wide range of matters.

Projected Reduction in Direct Usage

Environment and Sustainability First Financial recognizes its impact on the environment and the need to address that impact wherever possible. Whether it was installing a geothermal heating/cooling system in our main office in 1988, reducing paper use in our offices, or continuing to upgrade our facilities to be more efficient today, we continually take pro-active steps to serve in a carbon-neutral economy. Because renewable energy is a key to our future success, our lenders seek opportunities to work with customers and renewable energy companies to facilitate solar and wind projects throughout our footprint. In 2021, we entered agreements with customers and energy companies to facilitate the development of over 525 acres in the Wabash Valley for solar power projects. I n 2021, we continued to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact by investing in substantial upgrades to our facilities. Some of the projects we are proud to report include: • Installation of new, high-efficiency pumps and other equipment to upgrade the geothermal system at our Main Office in Terre Haute, Indiana. This installation allows us to minimize environmental impact by further reducing our energy consumption, providing cost savings. With these high efficiency pumps, our Main Office is more energy efficient in both the winter and summer months. • In January 2021, we combined two of our banking center locations in Terre Haute, Indiana into a newly constructed building fully outfitted with LED lighting and a highefficiency HVAC system. Our new Fort Harrison Banking Center was designed with energy efficiency in mind. By consolidating these branches into to the new facility,

we expect to use 20% less electricity and over 10% less natural gas when compared with combined yearly averages of the two older branches. All affected associates retained their employment following this consolidation. • As part of our ongoing effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we replaced many traditional fixtures and bulbs with LED lighting. This conversion reduces our energy use and provides additional cost savings. We have also examined the changes in the way our customers bank, which has lead to changes in the amount and way we utilize space and conduct business. In 2021, by combining branch locations and otherwise optimizing our resources, including our available online banking services, we announced and undertook a major branch optimization plan. This plan consisted of combining 9 banking centers in Indiana and Illinois into other nearby locations. Despite this reduction in numbers, we continue to provide superior service and meet the financial service needs of our customers through other nearby branches. The optimization of these branches will result in a substantial reduction of energy consumption and resource use and will realize substantial cost savings. Based on the prior consumption history, we project this optimization will substantially lower our direct environmental impact by reducing overall electricity use by over 10%, natural gas and water use by approximately 9%, and sewage generation by approximately 10%.

Social Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) and Human Capital Management

Vision & Commitment to DEI – We believe that having a diverse workforce is essential to our future success. We also believe having a culture that promotes workforce inclusion, open dialogue on DEI issues, and employee awareness, will allow us to better leverage our diversity so we benefit from the breadth of ideas, inputs, backgrounds, and perspectives. Our commitment to DEI starts with our Board and CEO. To more fully realize the benefits of a diverse workforce, we have created a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer position. Outreach and Recruitment – We use focused and directed outreach to universities and other organizations to connect with diverse professionals and other candidates, inviting them to join the First Financial team. For example, we work directly with Tennessee State University, an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) located in Nashville, Tennessee, to invite students and alumni to explore career opportunities with us. We also work with the Terre Haute chapter of the NAACP to connect with talented minority applicants. This focused outreach allows us to pursue a broad and diverse talent pool representative of the communities we serve. We also engage veterans and people with disabilities through focused outreach and recruitment. We utilize veteran service agencies in each of the four states in our footprint to provide veterans with employment opportunities. We also directly engage partners, such as the University of Louisville, to reach candidates who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have other physical or mental disabilities. DEI Policies – Our Corporate Governance Guidelines were updated in November 2020, and reaffirmed in 2021, to include a

commitment to seek Board candidates who are racially, ethnically or gender diverse. Our Board values diverse perspectives and believes the varied skills, knowledge, and experiences of our Board members contributes to robust discussions and a thorough analysis of matters presented. To ensure our Board represents diverse perspectives, the Governance and Nominating Committee includes qualified individuals with a diversity of race, ethnicity and/ or gender in any initial list of candidates when filling a Board position. Currently, there are two female and one ethnically diverse Directors serving on our Board. ender and Diversity Snapshot – We are G committed to a diverse workforce. Currently, 78% of our overall workforce is gender or racially diverse; and 59% of our mid-level officers and managers are gender or racially diverse. Associate Engagement In an effort to expand our culture of diversity and equality, we utilize targeted recruitment, development and retention efforts. We believe a variety of perspectives are essential to understanding the financial service needs of the communities we serve and are important to our continued success.

We empower our associates and encourage them to take pride in where they work. Each of our associates are shareholders through our ESOP, each earns competitive wages, and is provided opportunities to train for leadership roles.

The Ivy Tech Terre Haute campus serves students from nine counties. An estimated 85% of these graduates choose to live and work within the communities we serve. In 2021, nine $1,000 scholarships were awarded to eligible students attending the Ivy Tech Terre Haute campus. 2021 marks a milestone as First Financial Bank has invested in the success of Ivy Tech Terre Haute students for more than twenty years.

Diverse Board Members Added 2020-2021

Governance Commitment to Ethics & Corporate Responsibility – We are keenly focused on the aspects of our business which will ensure our growth and sustainability. It all starts from the top, where the Board is committed to reviewing and assessing how environmental and social factors affect First Financial and the initiatives and strategies which are essential to meeting these challenges. oard & Management Structure – Our Board B of Directors posesses a variety of professional and technical backgrounds, which include business, banking, government, law, accounting, military service, engineering, and education. In 2021, an additional female joined the Board of First Financial Corporation and First Financial Bank. This follows additions in 2020 which added both a female director and an African American director. We believe the combination of diverse professions, talent, experience and backgrounds provides a high level of leadership and a more effective Board. Executive Compensation – The continuing growth and success of our business depends not only on our associates but also on our executives. To attract and retain executives with the skill, knowledge, and motivation to carry out our dynamic strategic plan, the Board’s Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee (“Compensation Committee”) has designed and enacted an executive compensation program which promotes sound governance, furthers our pay-for-performance philosophy, and aligns our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders while eliminating unreasonable risk. Our Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent Directors as determined under the NASDAQ Global Select Market rules. Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation program

to assure it and the compensation of our executives is consistent with our compensation philosophy and, specifically, that a substantial portion of compensation is paid only if preestablished, objective performance goals are met or exceeded. In exercising its duties, the Compensation Committee considers all elements of our executive compensation program, as well as individual performance, company performance and market compensation considerations, including ESG. The Compensation Committee determines the appropriate allocation of each executive’s potential compensation among base salary, short-term incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and other components. The Compensation Committee engages an independent consultant to assist in assessing and developing our executive compensation program. Governance and Nominating Committee – The Board’s Governance and Nominating Committee (“Governance Committee”) is comprised solely of independent Directors and manages risks associated with the independence of the Board, succession planning, and risks associated with the Corporation’s governance structure. To this end, our Corporate Governance Guidelines were updated in 2020, and reaffirmed in 2021, to include a formalized commitment to seek Board candidates with racial, ethnic and gender diversity as well as to monitor for risk associated with environmental, social or governance issues. The Governance Committee Charter requires a periodic review of ESG initiatives and strategy. Internal Audit (“IAD”) – Our Internal Audit Department assists the Board of Directors and our Audit Committee in fulfilling their representative oversight roles. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Directors. Internal Audit provides risk-based, 15

The Director of Internal Audit has unrestricted access to communicate with and interact directly with the Board’s Audit Committee, including in private meetings without management present. Our Board has authorized the Director of Internal Audit to: • Have full, free, and unrestricted access to all functions, reports, property, and personnel who may assist in carrying out any engagement, subject to accountability for confidentiality and safeguarding of records and information; • Allocate resources, set frequencies, select subjects, determine scopes of work, apply techniques required to accomplish audit objectives, and issue reports; and • Obtain assistance from the necessary personnel of the Corporation, as well as other specialized services from within or outside the Corporation, to complete the engagement. 16

A Quality Assurance Review (“QAR”) of Internal Audit is performed annually, which is an assessment conducted on the departmentlevel to review and monitor the effectiveness, sufficiency, completeness, and efficiency of our audit process. The QAR assesses conformance with the IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors) International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and Code of Ethics and confirms our audit processes add value. The QAR is presented to the Audit Committee. Every 5th year, an external QAR is conducted by an independent auditor.
