UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes present how the combined financial statements of SunTrust Banks, Inc. (SunTrust) and National Commerce Financial (NCF) may have appeared had the businesses actually been combined as of June 30, 2004 (with respect to the balance sheet information, using currently available fair value information) or as of January 1, 2003 (with respect to income statement information). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information shows the impact of the merger of SunTrust and NCF on the companies’ respective historical financial positions and results of operations under the purchase method of accounting with SunTrust treated as the acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of NCF will be recorded by SunTrust at their estimated fair values as of the merger date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical financial information of SunTrust and NCF as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 assumes the merger was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the merger as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2003.

 

SunTrust issued approximately 76.4 million shares of common stock and $1.8 billion in cash consideration to NCF common shareholders based on the average of the closing prices of SunTrust common stock for the five trading days immediately before the merger and an estimate of NCF’s outstanding common shares as of the merger date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both SunTrust and NCF which are incorporated in this document by reference.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined and had the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions and share repurchases, among other factors, been considered. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the allocation of the purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation.

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On November 12, 2004, SunTrust restated its unaudited historical financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. The restatement pertains to a misstatement of SunTrust’s Allowance for Loan Losses during these periods, as a result of errors and internal control deficiencies. The restatement does not affect SunTrust’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein as of and for the period ended June 30, 2004 reflects the impact of this restatement. See SunTrust’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, which are being filed concurrently with this Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K/A, for more detailed information concerning the restatement.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 — Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information related to the merger is included for the year ended December 31, 2003 and as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the issuance of approximately 76.4 million shares of SunTrust common stock and $1.8 billion in cash consideration to NCF common shareholders, based on the average of the closing prices of SunTrust common stock for the five trading days immediately before the merger and an estimate of NCF’s outstanding common shares as of the merger date. The estimated purchase price of $7.4 billion, which includes the value of outstanding stock options, is based on a per share price for SunTrust common stock of $70.41, which was the closing price of SunTrust common stock on the day before the completion of the merger.

 

The merger is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, SunTrust’s cost to acquire NCF will be allocated to the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities (including executory contracts and other commitments) of NCF at their respective fair values as of the merger date.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes estimated adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of NCF at their respective fair values and represents SunTrust’s estimates based on available information. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Some revisions could be significant, especially fair value adjustments based on interest rate assumptions. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after completion of final analyses to determine the fair values of NCF’s tangible, and identifiable intangible, assets and liabilities as of the merger date. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments and integration charges may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this document. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the net assets, commitments, executory contracts and other items of NCF as compared to the information shown in this document may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities.

 

The pro forma financial statements do not currently include any amount related to the estimated $77.5 million after-tax ($125.0 million pre-tax) merger related charges that will be incurred to combine the operations of SunTrust and NCF. The estimated merger related charges will result from action taken with respect to both SunTrust and NCF operations, facilities and associates. The charges will be recorded based on the nature and timing of these integration actions. These charges are also subject to change as additional information becomes known. The pro forma financial statements also do not currently include any amount related to potential efficiencies (i.e., cost reductions and revenue growth) that may be realized from the merger.

 

Certain amounts in the historical consolidated financial statements of NCF have been reclassified to conform with SunTrust’s historical financial information presentation. Discontinued operations separately reported in NCF’s historical consolidated statements of income have been excluded. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this document does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.

 

Note 2 — Pro Forma Adjustments

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the merger includes the pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 assuming the merger was completed on June 30, 2004 (using currently available fair value information). The pro forma income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003 were prepared assuming the merger was completed on January 1, 2003.

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are as follows:

 

(A) Adjustment to reflect payment of $800.0 million to NCF shareholders. Payment was financed by the issuance of $800.0 million in brokered certificates of deposit in May 2004 with an interest rate estimated to be 3.40% per annum, and a weighted average maturity of 2.5 years. The impact of this issuance was to increase interest expense by approximately $10.2 million and $27.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

(B) Adjustment to reclassify held to maturity securities to securities available for sale to reflect the change in SunTrust’s intent as it relates to those investments. Also included is an approximate $(25.4) million adjustment to fair-value the securities portfolio. This adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining life of the securities portfolio using the effective yield method. The fair value adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations. The final adjustment may be significantly different. The impact of this adjustment was to increase interest income by approximately $1.5 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

(C) Adjustment to fair-value the loan portfolio. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining life of the loan portfolio using the effective yield method. The adjustments reflected herein


are based on current assumptions and valuations. The final adjustment may be significantly different. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest income by approximately $3.0 million and $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

(D) Adjustment to fair-value premises and equipment.

 

(E) Adjustment to eliminate historical NCF goodwill and record goodwill created as a result of the merger.

 

(F) Adjustment to eliminate historical NCF intangible assets (other than goodwill) and to record intangible assets (other than goodwill) resulting from the merger based on estimated fair values. The nature, amount and amortization method of various possible identified intangibles are being studied by SunTrust. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change. For purposes of the pro forma adjustments shown here, SunTrust has estimated $363.0 million of intangibles that consists of a core deposit intangible of approximately $327.0 million and other identifiable intangibles of approximately $36.0 million. SunTrust estimates the core deposit intangible will be amortized over ten years using the sum of the years digit method and the other intangibles will be amortized over an estimated weighted average of 7.3 years using the straight line method. The value of the intangibles represents the estimated future economic benefit resulting from the acquired customer balances and relationships. The final value will be determined based on an independent analysis of cash flows from the current balances of accounts, expected growth or attrition in balances, and the estimated life of the relationship. The impact of these adjustments is to increase noninterest expenses by $29.7 million and $65.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

(G) Adjustments to fair-value other assets including pension, computer software, deferred costs and other miscellaneous items.

 

(H) Adjustment to fair-value fixed-rate deposit liabilities based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining term of the related deposit liability using the effective yield method. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations. The final adjustment may be significantly different. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $4.0 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

(I) Adjustment to fair-value outstanding short-term debt instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining life of the short-term debt instruments using the effective yield method. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations. The final adjustment may be significantly different. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $0.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. There was no impact of this adjustment on interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

(J) Adjustment to fair-value outstanding long-term debt instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining life of the long-term debt instruments using the effective yield method. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations. The final adjustment may be significantly different. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $3.8 million and $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

(K) Adjustment to reflect issuance of $1.0 billion in debt at an interest rate estimated to be 4.45% per annum, and a weighted average maturity of 4.3 years, to finance a portion of the estimated cash payment to NCF shareholders. The impact of the adjustment was to increase interest expense by approximately $22.3 million and $44.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, respectively.


(L) Adjustment to accrued expenses and other liabilities consists of $44.4 million for investment banking fees, $70.6 million to reflect the fair value of personnel related liabilities which arise due to employment and severance agreements which include change in control provisions triggered at the time of closing and due to other expected terminations of NCF personnel, and $55.4 million primarily for contract terminations and other liabilities. The remaining $13.1 million adjustment is for deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, resulting from the pro forma adjustments. Deferred taxes were recorded using SunTrust’s statutory rate of 38.0%.

 

(M) Adjustment to eliminate NCF’s historical shareholders’ equity. Additionally, the adjustment reflects the issuance of SunTrust common stock and the conversion of NCF stock options outstanding at the closing of the merger to options to purchase SunTrust common stock. In accordance with the terms of NCF’s stock option agreements, outstanding stock options became fully vested upon the change in control; therefore, the adjustment presented assumed that all NCF stock options were converted to fully vested options to purchase SunTrust common stock. This resulted in the issuance of approximately 5.8 million vested options to purchase SunTrust common stock at a fair value of $23.52 per share. The number of stock options expected to be issued was based on the product of the estimated number of outstanding NCF stock options as of the merger date and the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the merger agreement) of 0.4953. The estimated fair value per share of $23.52 was calculated as the closing price of SunTrust’s common stock on the day before the completion of the merger of $70.41 less $46.89, the estimated average exercise price of the SunTrust stock options to be issued. This amount approximates the fair value applying the assumptions described on page 76 of SunTrust’s 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders to the SunTrust options to be issued based on the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the merger agreement) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated average exercise price of $46.89 was calculated as the average exercise price of a NCF stock option as of the merger date divided by the assumed Exchange Ratio of 0.4953.

 

(N) Adjustment to reverse amortization of intangible assets recorded in NCF’s historical financial statements.

 

(O) Adjustment to record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using SunTrust’s statutory tax rate of 38.0%.

 

(P) Weighted average shares were calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding of SunTrust and NCF, adjusted using an exchange ratio of 0.3713, to the equivalent shares of SunTrust common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004. Earnings per share data have been computed based on the combined historical income of SunTrust, income from continuing operations for NCF and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments.
