Investor Presentation January 2019 Exhibit 99.1

2 Statements included in this presentation which are not historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 . These statements generally relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, or business . They usually can be identified by the use of forward - looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” or “are expected to,” “plans,” “projects,” “proposes,” “goals,” “estimates,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “continues,” “intends to,” “outlook,” “pending” or “anticipates,” or variations of these and similar words, or by discussions of strategies that involve risks and uncertainties . These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which remain beyond our control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward - looking statements . Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated may include, but are not limited to, the following : ( 1 ) deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in our loan losses and provisions for those losses and other adverse impacts to our results of operations and financial condition ; ( 2 ) the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible loan losses ; ( 3 ) legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, tax, and securities laws and regulations and their application by our regulators ; ( 4 ) changes in interest rates that affect the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest - sensitive assets and liabilities ; ( 5 ) changes in financial market conditions, either internationally, nationally, or locally in areas in which we conduct operations ; ( 6 ) changes in accounting principles, policies, and guidelines applicable to bank holding companies and banking ; ( 7 ) impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets, including any of the foregoing associated with our acquisition activity ; ( 8 ) the effects of competition from other commercial banks, non - bank lenders, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and mutual funds, and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, together with such competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, and the Internet that compete with the services we offer in our markets ; ( 9 ) our ability to attract and retain key personnel experienced in banking and financial services ; ( 10 ) the effect of any mergers, acquisitions, or other transactions, to which we or the Bank may from time to time be a party, including management’s ability to successfully integrate any businesses acquired ; ( 11 ) operational risks, including data processing system failures or fraud ; ( 12 ) cyber - attacks and other data breaches that compromise the security of our customer information ; and ( 13 ) such other matters as discussed in this presentation or identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly those matters described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Reports on Form 10 - K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q and in our other reports filed with the SEC . We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements, which reflect management’s view only as of the date of this presentation . We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release the result of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events . Caution Regarding Forward - Looking Statements

3 Certain financial measures we use to evaluate our performance and discuss in this presentation are identified as being “non - GAAP financial measures . ” In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we classify a financial measure as being a non - GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of operations, balance sheet or statements of cash flows . Non - GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non - GAAP financial measures or both . The non - GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this presentation should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP . Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non - GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this presentation may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names . You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non - GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this presentation when comparing such non - GAAP financial measures . Tangible common equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are non - GAAP measures generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions . We calculate : (a) tangible common equity as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, and (c) tangible book value per share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by shares of common stock outstanding . A reconciliation of these non - GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is included under the heading “Non - GAAP Reconciliation” on slide 23 . We believe that these measures are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in common equity, total assets, and book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets . Non - GAAP Financial Measures
