Fourth Quarter 2009 Results January 28, 2010 Thursday, January 28, 2010 1

Forward-Looking Statements This slide presentation contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, our statements regarding (1) statements that our asset strategy remains on track; (2) our expectations regarding trends in core deposits, core expenses and net interest margin; (3) our expectations regarding continued improvement in the quality of our deposit mix; (4) the anticipated benets of our charter consolidation; (5) our expectations and outlook regarding 2010 nancial results, firrst quarter 2010 credit metrics, non-performing asset run rates and margin improvement; (6) our expectations regarding expense management ; (7) our belief that our 2010 assumptions allow an opportunity to be profitable during 2010; (8) our capital position and capital opportunities; (9) the risks underlying our capital assumptions; (10) our assumptions and expectations beyond 2009 regarding our deferred tax asset balances; and (11) the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this slide presentation and our lings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and you should review this slide presentation in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Current Reports on Form 8-K, and our other lings with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus ability to control or predict. Thursday, January 28, 2010 2

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in this slide presentation and our filings with the SEC include: (1) further deterioration in credit quality, particularly in residential construction and development loans, may continue to result in increased non-performing assets and credit losses, which will adversely impact our earnings and capital; (2) declining values of residential real estate may result in further write-downs of assets, which may increase our credit losses and negatively affect our financial results; (3) continuing weakness in the residential real estate environment may negatively impact our ability to liquidate non-performing assets; (4) the impact on our borrowing costs, capital cost and our liquidity due to adverse changes in our current credit ratings; (5) our ability to manage $uctuations in the value of our assets and liabilities to maintain sufficient capital and liquidity to support our operations; (6) restrictions or limitations on access to funds from subsidiaries, thereby restricting our ability to make payments on our obligations or dividend payments; (7) continuing deterioration in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; (8) inadequacy of our allowance for loan losses, or the risk that the allowance may prove to be inadequate or may be negatively affected by credit risk exposures; (9) changes in the interest rate environment which may increase funding costs and reduce earning assets yields, thus reducing margins; (10) risks associated with the concentration of our non-performing assets in certain geographic regions and with affiliated borrowing groups; (11) the risk of additional future losses if the proceeds we receive upon the liquidation of non-performing assets are less than the fair value of such assets; (12) risks associated with the execution of our capital plan; including the risk that the assumptions underlying our internal capital analysis are incorrect and that we may be required to seek additional capital to satisfy regulatory capital thresholds and provide additional liquidity; (13) the impact of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, The Financial Stability Plan and other recent and proposed changes in governmental policy, laws and regulations, including proposed and recently enacted changes in the regulation of banks and financial institutions, or the interpretation or application thereof, including restrictions, increased capital requirements, limitations and/or penalties arising from banking, securities and insurance laws regulations and examinations; (14) the impact on Synovus’ financial results, reputation and business if Synovus is unable to comply with all applicable federal and state regulations and applicable memoranda of understanding, other supervisory actions and any necessary capital initiatives; (15) risks associated with litigation; (16) the risk that we will not be able to complete the proposed charter consolidation or, if completed, realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed charter consolidation; (17) the volatility of our stock price; and (18) the other factors set forth in Synovus’ filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. We do not assume any obligation to update any forwardlooking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Thursday, January 28, 2010 3

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This slide presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following: pre-tax, pre-credit costs income; core expenses; fundamental G&A expense; average core deposits; core deposits; net interest margin excluding negative impact of non-performing assets; fundamental non-interest expense; the ratio of pre-tax, pre-credit costs income to risk weighted assets, and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are pre-tax income (loss); total G&A expenses; total non-interest expense; total deposits; net interest margin; total non-interest expense; and the ratio of total equity to total assets, respectively. Management uses these non-GAAP nancial measures to assess the performance of Synovus’ core business and the strength of its capital position. Synovus believes that these non-GAAP nancial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist investors in evaluating Synovus’ operating results, nancial strength and capitalization. The non-GAAP measures should be considered as additional views of the way our nancial measures are affected by signicant charges for credit costs and goodwill impairment. The tangible common equity ratio to tangible assets ratio and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio are used by management to assess the strength of our capital position. Core deposits are a measure used by management and investment analysts to evaluate organic growth of deposits and the quality of deposits as a funding source. Pre-tax, pre-credit costs income is a measure used by management to evaluate core operating results exclusive of credit costs as well as certain non-core expenses such as goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges, and Visa litigation expense (recovery). Fundamental noninterest expense is a measure utilized by management to measure the success of expense management initiatives focused on reducing recurring controllable operating costs. These non-GAAP nancial measures should not be considered as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The computations of the non-GAAP nancial measures used in this slide presentation are set forth in the Appendix to this slide presentation. Thursday, January 28, 2010 4

DEFERRED TAX ASSET ACCOUNTING Background A deferred tax asset (DTA) is created from the difference between book (GAAP) and tax earnings. For Synovus, the DTA balance is largely driven by its provision for loan losses. During the 2Q09, Synovus reached a cumulative 3-year pre-tax loss position. Under GAAP, cumulative losses in recent years are considered signi$cant negative evidence in assessing the realizability of a deferred tax asset, even though the Federal tax code allows a 20 year carryforward of losses. After considering both positive and negative evidence, Synovus increased its deferred tax asset valuation allowance by approximately $173 million during 2Q09. Due to available carryback, the valuation allowance had to be recorded as an adjustment to the annual effective tax rate throughout 2009 (vs. a one-time adjustment to earnings). The fourth quarter income tax expense of $6.9 million is primarily related to decreases in unrealized gains on investments/swaps which increased the DTA valuation allowance. The 2009 taxable loss has fully utilized Synovus’ carryback for taxes paid in prior years. Beginning in 2010, any losses will be required to be carried forward (by recording a deferred tax asset with a corresponding valuation allowance), resulting in a close to zero effective tax rate.

12/31/09 Deferred tax assets $592 Deferred tax liabilities (154) Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 438 Valuation allowance (425) Net deferred tax assets after valuation allowance $13 DEFERRED TAX ASSET ACCOUNTING, CON’T Balance Sheet Impact (dollars in millions) (1) Includes approximately $55 million in deferred tax liabilities relating to unrealized gains on investment securities and interest rate swaps. Future changes to these unrealized gains are not expected to impact tax expense. (2) Approximately $6 million of the remaining deferred tax asset balance primarily relates to deferred tax assets from jurisdictions that are not in a cumulative loss position and therefore do not require a valuation allowance. The remaining $7 million in deferred tax assets is supported by State tax planning strategies. Changes in market conditions and other factors could result in changes to the expected value of these tax planning strategies with corresponding increases to income tax expense and the valuation allowance.

DEFERRED TAX ASSET ACCOUNTING, CON’T Expectations Beyond 2009 We expect no tax bene$t during periods including a pre-tax loss; however, changes in market conditions and other factors could periodically impact values assigned to tax planning strategies, which would require increases or decreases in the valuation allowance. Losses and tax credits carried forward will be recorded as deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase in the DTA valuation allowance. When we report a pre-tax pro$t, we will not record a tax expense - in other words, we will begin to reduce the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. We expect to recover the remaining DTA balance once we have demonstrated a sustainable return to pro$tability, perhaps at the point when we have experienced consecutive pro$table quarters coupled with a forecast of continuing pro$tability. It should be noted that recapture of the DTA balance (reversal of valuation allowance) is subject to considerable judgment Thursday, January 28, 2010 40
