This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements
regarding our prospective performance and strategies within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We
intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the Safe
Harbor Provision for forward-looking statements contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including
this statement for purposes of said safe harbor provision. Forward-
looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as
“estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,”
“seek,” “expect” and words of similar meaning. These forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
• statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and
operating strategies;
• statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment
portfolios; and
• estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and
expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many
of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking
statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business
strategies and decisions that are subject to change.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in
the forward-looking statements:
• general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market
areas, that are worse than expected;
• competition among depository and other financial institutions
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
• changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins
or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
• adverse changes in the securities markets;
• changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting
financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and
capital requirements;
• our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on
growth opportunities;
• our ability to successfully identify, acquire, and integrate future
acquisitions;
• our incurring higher than expected loan charge-offs with respect
to assets acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions;
• changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
• changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted
by the bank regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting
Standards Board; and
• changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans.
Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may
be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of
the date of this presentation. Except as required by applicable law or
regulation, we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to
time by or on behalf of the Company. Please see “Risk Factors” beginning
on page 19 of the Company’s Prospectus dated February 11, 2013.

[1] Due to the early termination of the FDIC loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, ratios for fiscal year ended 2016, include
all previously covered assets with the exception of FAS ASC 310-30 loans that are excluded from nonperforming loans due to the ongoing
recognition of accretion income established at the time of acquisition. Ratios for periods prior to September 30, 2015, represent non-covered data
