Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions. 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 which are based on our current beliefs and expectations, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors: general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are different than expected; changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business; adverse changes in the securities and credit markets; and changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by bank regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in Item 1.A “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date hereof. Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this presentation may later prove incorrect because of inaccurate assumptions, the factors illustrated above or other factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. 2
