Exhibit 99.4

Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The following tables show selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information about the financial condition and results of operations of National Bank Holdings Corporation (“NBHC”), including per share data, after giving effect to the merger with Peoples, Inc. (“Peoples”) and other pro forma adjustments. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that the merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and that the assets and liabilities of Peoples will be recorded by NBHC at their respective fair values as of the date the merger is completed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition gives effect to the transaction as if the transaction had occurred on September 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, give effect to the transaction as if the transaction had become effective on January 1, 2016. In accordance with the merger agreement, the Peoples national mortgage business has been wound down. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements exclude the results of the Peoples national mortgage business for all periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any expense efficiencies, increased revenue or other potential financial benefits of the merger. The fair values are estimates as of the date hereof and actual amounts are still in the process of being finalized. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. The Peoples consolidated unaudited condensed financial information have been reclassified to conform to the current NBHC presentation.

Pro Forma Adjustments Footnotes

The following pro forma adjustments are reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. All taxable adjustments were calculated using a 38% tax rate to arrive at deferred tax asset or liability adjustments. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change:

A – To record cash paid for Peoples common stock of $36.2 million to seller and to escrow and to payoff Peoples debt of $5.4 million. To record investment securities trading assets sold of $5.7 million prior to acquisition date. Adjustment also includes Peoples estimated transaction costs of $1.2 million, net of tax of $0.8 million.

B – To record estimated fair value adjustment on loans based on a $7.0 million discount to adjust for credit deterioration of the acquired portfolio. The fair value adjustment is expected to be accreted over an estimated 8 year remaining life of the respective loans in a manner that approximates level yield.

C – To eliminate Peoples allowance for loan losses of $7.6 million.

D – To record estimated fair value adjustment on premises and equipment of $0.1 million.

E – To record estimated fair value adjustment for mortgage servicing rights of $0.4 million.

F – To record estimate of goodwill that will be recognized as part of the transaction. See the allocation of purchase price at Note 3.

G – To record estimate of core deposit intangible asset which is assumed to be amortized sum of the years’ digits over 10 years.

H – To record adjustment to deferred tax asset related to the pro forma adjustments.

I – To record adjustment for payoff of debt of $5.4 million and reversal of the deferred gain on sale of properties of $1.3 million.

J – To eliminate Peoples stockholders’ equity of $90.4 million and to record re-issuance of 3.4 million shares of NBHC’s treasury stock at cost totaling $68.0 million, including a gain on the re-issuance of treasury stock of $42.2 million included in additional paid-in capital.

K – To record accretion of loan portfolio fair value adjustments.

L – To record elimination of amortization of deferred gain on sale of properties of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

M – To record elimination of directly attributable transaction costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $0.9 million.

N – To record elimination of interest expense on paid off debt of $0.6 million and $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. To record amortization of mortgage servicing rights ($0.1) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016. To record elimination of directly attributable transaction costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $0.1 million.

O – To record amortization of core deposit intangible asset of $1.2 million and $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

P – To record tax effect at a rate of 38%.

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

NBHC completed the acquisition of Peoples on January 1, 2018, with total consideration a mix of approximately 75% common stock and 25% cash. The acquisition is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Peoples presented in these pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been adjusted to their estimated fair values based upon conditions as of the merger date and as if the transaction had been effective on January 1, 2016 for statements of operations data. Since these are pro forma statements, we cannot assure that the amounts reflected in these financial statements would have been representative of the actual amounts earned had the companies been combined at that time. The fair values are estimates as of the date hereof and actual amounts are still in the process of being finalized. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements exclude the results of the Peoples national mortgage business for all periods presented. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of $16.2 million, revenue of $66.9 million and expenses of $62.9 million were excluded from the Peoples historical statement of financial condition and statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Revenue of $108.5 million and expenses of $95.7 million were excluded from the Peoples historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 2 Purchase Price

NBHC completed the acquisition of Peoples on January 1, 2018. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Peoples shareholders received $36.2 million in cash and 3,398,477 shares of NBHC common stock, with a closing price of $32.43 implying a value of $146.4 million. Cash paid included $10.0 million placed in escrow for estimated unknown liabilities that may have existed as of the acquisition date.

Note 3 Allocation of Purchase Price

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Peoples based on their estimated fair value as of the closing of the transaction. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, net of deferred taxes, is allocated to goodwill. Estimated fair value adjustments included in the pro forma unaudited financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable may be revised as additional information becomes available. The following are the pro forma adjustments made to record the acquisition and adjust Peoples assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values at September 30, 2017.
