Investment Rationale Attractive Multiples • Top Quartile ROA & Top Quartile Growth Rate • ROTCE’s approaching 15 % with normalized capital levels • Improving efficiency ratio at 60 % or better means incremental growth is materially more profitable Operating Performance M&A Opportunities • Disciplined Acquirer that announces deals with reliable metrics • Expect ABCB to quickly reengage in M&A shortly after exiting consent order . Should be meaningful to EPS and neutral or better to TBV • Current capital position gives us significantly more flexibility in driving consideration mix and metrics • Historically trading at PE discount relative to our peers • TBV overhang eliminated with additional capital . Current TBV multiple reduced from 335 % in 4 Q 2016 to 270 % currently Peer group includes CSFL, SSB, STBZ, HOMB, OZRK, PSTB, LION, PNFP, SFNC, UCBI
