Conclusions UTBI can create shareholder value by sticking to its current business plan Although income is projected to decrease significantly in 2005, net income should begin to rebound in 2006 when the Fed finishes raising interest rates UTBI has demonstrated it can grow the balance sheet in a variety of interest rate environments Excess capital should continue to be deployed through a combination of: Balance sheet growth Share repurchases Cash dividends

4. Going Private Strategy


Table of Contents

Going Private Overview In many cases, a bank may be deriving little benefit from being a registered company Despite being listed on a national exchange, the bank's stock suffers from a low valuation and / or a limited trading volume In some cases, the bank's stock may not even be listed on an exchange, but is subject to registration with the SEC Going private allows the bank to de-register with the SEC The goal of going private is to reduce the number of registered shareholders below 300 and eliminate all future SEC filings Once de-registered, the bank cannot be listed on the NASDAQ National and Small Cap Markets or the OTC Bulletin Board Shares can be listed on the Pink Sheets The bank can remain private as long as registered shareholders do not exceed 300 (500 in certain circumstances)

Reasons for Not Going Private Reduces visibility of Company Possible negative reactions by shareholders and customers May reduce liquidity of stock Requires significant amount of time and expense If bank expects to sell additional shares If bank expects to make stock acquisitions May require shareholder and / or regulatory approval If registration statement filed within twelve months Makes stock-based compensation less attractive to employees May invite a hostile or competing offer from another bank May be forced to re- register due to forces beyond bank's control Rule 144 safe harbor for insider transactions is not available ESOP's and employer securities held in 401k plans create additional issues


Table of Contents

Issues Regarding Employee Benefit Plans Disclaimer We are not employee benefit experts These issues may not be applicable to you There may be additional issues regarding employee benefit plans, so please check with your benefits advisor ESOPs Upon going private, a company becomes obligated to purchase the allocated ESOP shares of participants The ESOP shares must be valued annually The company must record this liability on its financial statements as a direct reduction of equity (it does not impact earnings) This liability increases as more shares are allocated and / or if the price of shares rises If the ESOP is terminated, the shares can be rolled over into self-directed IRA accounts, although many IRA providers will not accept private securities


Table of Contents

Issues Regarding Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) Plans with Employer Securities Trustees are relieved of the potential liability for investment decisions of participants as long as the securities are traded on a national exchange Upon going private, this protection is no longer available, thereby exposing the trustees to personal liability for declines in value of the employer securities, even though the decision to invest is made by individual participants Typically, an employee cannot take a distribution unless they are age 59 1/2 or older or due to financial hardship The employer securities must be valued annually The easiest solution is for the employer securities to be sold The company can buy insurance or can indemnify the trustees if it desires to continue holding the securities

Cash Out Merger / Reverse Stock Split Methods whereby the number of shareholders is reduced by eliminating all shareholders below a certain level of share ownership Due to involuntary nature, must be approved by shareholders Establish exchange ratio to guarantee reducing shareholders below 300 Value of shares is determined by the board and must be considered "fair" Typically, the board retains a financial advisor who will provide a fairness opinion The financial advisor studies the trading market for the bank's equity securities, apprises the board of the current market conditions, and evaluates the financial impact of the transaction on the bank Hiring a financial advisor helps the board fulfill its fiduciary obligations

Cash Out Merger Bank forms a dummy corporation Then, the bank merges with the dummy corporation Shareholders owning fewer than the threshold number of shares are cashed out Shareholders owning at least the threshold number of shares continue to own the same number of shares Example 100 share threshold $10.00 per share price Shareholder A owns 50 shares Shareholder B owns 125 shares Results Shareholder A receives $500 cash and retains no shares Shareholder B is unaffected and retains all 125 shares


Table of Contents

Reverse Stock Split Exact opposite of more common forward stock split Instead of increasing the number of shares, the number of outstanding shares is reduced All fractional shares created must be cashed out, regardless of the number of shares owned Shareholders who end up owning less than one share receive cash Any shareholder who owns shares not equally divisible by the exchange ratio will receive cash for any fractional share created Typically followed by a forward split to put shareholders back in a similar position Example 1 for 100 exchange ratio $10.00 per share price Shareholder A owns 50 shares Shareholder B owns 125 shares Results Shareholder A Receives $500 cash Retains no shares Shareholder B Receives $250 cash Receives 1 share which becomes 100 shares after forward split

Financial Projections - Assumptions Same growth assumptions as "Stay the Course" scenario Shareholders with fewer than 300 shares cashed out in 2005 (50,000 shares acquired) Lower net income in 2005 due to professional fees Higher net income (+$100,000 after-tax) in 2006-2009 due to savings from deregistering The Company continues to repurchase 3% of its shares each year The cash dividend increases 3 cents per year

Conclusions UTBI could save substantial expenses by going private SEC reporting Sarbanes-Oxley compliance Going private will also reduce director and officer liability and free up management time to focus on the business of the bank Going private will require eliminating certain small shareholders A cash-out merger or reverse stock split are more likely to be successful than other alternatives Cashing out shareholders with less than 300 shares will involve a cash outlay of $1.0 million to $1.3 million, and transaction expenses of approximately $100,000 (note: these estimates are subject to further refinement) Going private will create complexities with regard to benefit plans (401(k) and ESOP) Going private will keep UTBI out of the acquisition market for a period of time

5. Subchapter S Conversion Strategy


Table of Contents

Reasons to Consider Sub S Conversion Achieves the same benefits as going private, plus the following... Avoids double taxation of corporate dividends Company no longer pays federal taxes Company still pays state taxes Shareholders report pro rata share of taxable income as ordinary income to IRS Shareholders receive annual schedule K-1 Shareholders typically make quarterly estimated tax payments Shareholders receive dividend to cover tax obligation Fewer shareholders makes long-term management decisions more viable May eliminate need to meet short-term earnings expectations


Table of Contents

Sub S Requirements No more than 100 shareholders However, family members representing up to six generations may be treated as one shareholder Difficult to determine Shareholders cannot hold shares in an IRA There is an exclusion for bank shareholders who owned stock on October 22, 2004, but this exclusion does not apply to bank holding companies at this time IRAs can divest shares pursuant to Sub S conversion without penalty if certain conditions are met Shareholders cannot be corporations, partnerships, non-U.S. residents, and some trusts


Table of Contents

Sub S Issues to Consider Reducing the shareholder base will involve cashing out more shareholders than going private Greater capital outlay Greater risk of shareholder dissent More complex transaction (multi-generational considerations, need to obtain info regarding stock held in brokerage accounts, IRAs, etc...) Sub S investment is different from owning shares in a publicly-traded thrift Requires a more sophisticated shareholder It does not make sense to retain small shareholders Limitations on trading Shareholder must agree to transfer restrictions to preserve Sub S status May involve a right of first refusal for bank to purchase the stock The Company will have very limited access to capital The Company's business strategy is likely to change Dividends will become primary focus of shareholders Built in gain rules (10 year holding period)

Sub S Conversion - Conclusions By eliminating federal taxes, EPS and dividends should be substantially higher Subchapter S conversion is a long-term commitment It may be difficult to sell the Company for several years due to legal and tax considerations Ability to acquire other banks is significantly hindered Lack of access to capital markets Inability to add new shareholders Shareholders are likely to become fixated on maximizing the dividend Could impair ability to retain capital for growth Sub S stock will be very illiquid Limitations on transfer Higher EPS does not mean the acquisition value will be higher Sub S EPS must be adjusted for taxes to determine acquisition value of stock

Summary and Conclusions The status quo is a viable business strategy for UTBI If the board is interested in acquisitions, it makes sense to pursue that strategy first Going private may take UTBI out of the acquisition market for a period of time UTBI can go private after a cash acquisition with fewer concerns Sub S conversion may eliminate acquisitions as a business strategy altogether Going private will eliminate expenses and reduce liability Impact on benefit plans must be assessed Sub S conversion is a bigger leap with longer-term ramifications Significantly higher EPS and dividends Lower capital Less access to capital markets Very illiquid stock Tax implications for shareholders Company unlikely to buy or sell for several years
