Forward Looking Information
2
Certain statements contained in this presentation and the accompanying slides may not be based on historical facts and are “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These forward-
looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “foresee,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “intend,” “could,” “would” or “plan,” or future or conditional verb tenses, and variations or negatives of such terms. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about the use of non-GAAP financial measures, maturities of our CDs, pro forma capital ratios,
our strategic focus, results of operations and financial condition. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this
presentation, in that actual results could differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. These factors
include, but are not limited to, conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally, the adequacy of the Company’s provision and allowance for
credit losses to cover actual credit losses, the credit risk associated with real estate construction, acquisition and development loans, the impact of legal or
administrative proceedings, the availability of capital on favorable terms if and when needed, liquidity risk, the Company’s ability to improve its internal controls
adequately, governmental regulation, including the Dodd Frank Act,  and supervision of the Company’s operations, the impact of regulations on service charges
on the Company’s core deposit accounts, the susceptibility of the Company’s business to local economic conditions, the soundness of other financial institutions,
changes in interest rates, the impact of monetary policies and economic factors on the Company’s ability to attract deposits or make loans, volatility in capital and
credit markets, reputational risk, the impact of hurricanes or other adverse weather events, any requirement that the Company write down goodwill or other
intangible assets, diversification in the types of financial services the Company offers, competition with other financial services companies, risks in connection
with completed or potential acquisitions, the Company’s growth strategy, interruptions or breaches in security of the Company’s information systems, the failure of
certain third party vendors to perform, limitations on the Company’s ability to declare and pay dividends, dilution caused by the Company’s issuance of any
additional shares of its common stock to raise capital or acquire other banks, bank holding companies, financial holding companies and insurance agencies, other
factors generally understood to affect the financial results of financial services companies and other factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s press
releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except as
required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
presentation. Certain tabular presentations may not reconcile because of rounding. Unless otherwise noted, any quotes in this presentation can be attributed to
company management.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclaimer
3
This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than those prescribed by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States ("GAAP'). Management uses these "non-GAAP" financial measures in its analysis of the Company's capital and
performance. Management believes that the ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is important to investors who are
interested in evaluating the adequacy of the Company's capital levels.  Management believes that tangible book value per share is important
to investors who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in tangible assets. 
Management believes that pre-tax, pre-provision earnings is important to investors as it shows earnings trends without giving effect to
provision for credit losses. 
You should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily
comparable to non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The limitations associated with these measures are the risks that persons
might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures
differently. Information provided in the Appendix of this presentation reconciles these non-GAAP measures with comparable measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
