Explanation of initial fair value adjustments and measurement period adjustments

(a) Adjustment reflects opening fair value of securities portfolio, which was established as the new book basis of the portfolio.

(b) Adjustment reflects fair value discount of $32,589 on the loan portfolio, reversal of $3,450 in net deferred loan costs, and reversal of $9,844 in previously-existing fair value discount recognized by NewBridge in prior acquisitions. The fair value discount was calculated by forecasting cash flows over the expected remaining life of each loan and discounting those cash flows to present value using current market rates for similar loans. Forecasted cash flows include an estimate of lifetime credit losses on the loan portfolio.

(d) Adjustment reflects fair value adjustments on acquired branch and administrative offices.

(e) Adjustment reflects the tax impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments.

(f) Adjustment reflects the fair value of the acquired core deposit intangible, net of the reversal of $3,506 core deposit intangible recorded by NewBridge in prior acquisitions.

(g) Adjustment reflects the impact of fair value adjustments on other assets, which include adjustments related to the elimination of accrued interest on purchased credit-impaired loans, recognition of a servicing asset related to U.S. Small Business Association ("SBA") loans, and termination of certain derivative contracts.

(h) Adjustment reflects the fair value premium on time deposits, which was calculated by discounting future contractual interest payments at a current market interest rate.

(i) Adjustments reflect the fair value adjustments for a short-term repurchase obligation and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. The repurchase obligation was valued by discounting future contractual interest payments at a current market interest rate for a similar instrument. For FHLB advances, the fair value was calculated by reference to the acquisition date prepayment penalty the FHLB would charge to terminate the advance.

(j) Adjustments reflect fair value adjustments for subordinated debt obligations and junior subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities outstanding at the acquisition date.

(k) Adjustments reflect compensation obligations, reserve for unfunded commitments, benefit costs for merger-related obligations, and miscellaneous other accrued liabilities.

(l) Adjustment to initial fair value of investment securities.

(m) Adjustments to initial fair values of premises and equipment

(n) Adjustment to initial fair value of other real estate.

(o) Deferred tax adjustment resulting from adjustments (l), (m), (n), (p) and (q) and adjustments of other merger-related deferred tax valuations.

(p) Adjustment to initial fair value of accrued interest receivable.

(q) Adjustment to initial fair value of accrued liabilities.

(r) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets.
