Investment Rationale Organic Growth Opportunities • Top quartile return on assets • Strong ROTCE’s that support organic and M&A growth • Efficiency ratio below 60 % with catalysts that will drive us into lower 50 % range over next 18 months Operating Performance Valuation • Material discount on earnings relative to Southeastern peer group suggests upside, particularly considering : – Top quartile operating ratios – Reliable growth outlook (balance sheet and earnings) that are not dependent on increasing prices for M&A . • Organic growth opportunities creates steady double - digit growth • Recently merged teams have settled into the Ameris culture and are gaining momentum • Competition for deposits is brisk ; however, we have grown deposits while preserving margin, even with increasing deposit betas 11
