Source: SNL Financial LC; index data since January 1993; trading data as of November 13, 2014 4 Discussion Materials | November 2014 WHY SHOULD A BANK STOCK TRADE AT A PREMIUM TO TBV?

• What makes $1 of tangible book value (TBV) in a bank superior to $1 under the mattress?

• In theory, the $1 of TBV should deliver returns that the $1 under the mattress cannot

• One way investors determine how much to pay for a bank stock relative to its TBV is by comparing Price / TBV and ROATCE (or Return on Average Tangible Common Equity)

• A general rule is that every 6.5% to 7.0% of ROATCE is worth approximately 1.0x TBV (1)

• With this mind, it is logical to see that the change in industry fundamentals (lower net income and higher TCE levels) has led to lower valuation multiples for community banks

• Absent an M&A takeout premium, its difficult for investors to envision underperforming community banks generating the level of standalone profitability required to provide them with an adequate internal rate of return

• In the following examples, we use a simplified 7.0% ROATCE = 1.0x TBV approach to evaluate how much investors can pay for a bank assuming the investors seek a 15% IRR over three years

M&A ENVIRONMENT – WHAT HAS CHANGED

Pre-Recession Environment Current Environment

• Buyers were willing to take on significant book value • Buyers are focused on managing tangible book dilution and the market was willing to accept it value dilution (10% or less) and earning back the dilution taken in a reasonable period of time (3 to 4 • Buyers were willing to take earnings per share years) dilution in the first and sometimes second year of a transaction • Buyers want meaningful and immediate earnings per share accretion (10% or more) • Sellers were willing to accept high-priced stocks trading off of future growth prospects (often young • Sellers are focused on the quality of the buyer’s banks) with limited liquidity stock (liquidity, dividend, historical performance) and that it is trading at a reasonable valuation with • Wholesale funding was accepted as a way to potential upside leverage franchise value • Wholesale funding has fallen out of favor with • Trust preferred allowed buyers to pay high prices by regulators financing some or all of the transaction with low cost debt • Trust preferred does not exist; alternative sources of capital (preferred equity, sub debt) are significantly more expensive

• Regulators want higher capital levels, comprised mostly of common equity

M&A ENVIRONMENT – WHAT HAS STAYED THE SAME?

• Level of profitability and earnings growth are significant drivers of value • Demonstrated loan growth is critical • Diversification in loan portfolio more important than ever • Core deposits and customer relationships are key • Growth markets remain attractive • Buyers wary of seller asset quality • Fee income only valuable if it is creating bottom-line earnings • Good management with strong culture creates attractive franchises • Mergers of peers remain financially attractive but difficult to consummate

Page 21 Identifying True Risk Profile

 Simulations provide most accurate risk profile

 Identify timing and degree of sensitivity

 Gauge exposure under a variety of rate scenarios

 Dependent upon inputs (data, assumptions) and must focus on right information when developing strategies

 Assumptions have a HUGE impact!

Page 22

Bank-Specific Assumptions

Page 23 Critical Model Assumptions

1. Deposit sensitivity/lives

2. Replacement/new volume

3. Prepayment

They Should Be Stress Tested Regularly

Page 24 Prepayment Assumptions

Page 25 New Volume Assumptions: Loans

Page 26 New Volume Assumption: Loans

Page 27 Deposit Assumptions

 Key assumptions:  Rate sensitivity factors or “betas” . Rates paid on non-maturity deposits (NMD) have greatest impact . Rising and falling not likely symmetrical  Core versus “hot” money . Potential disintermediation or shift due to changing market conditions . Particularly important under rising rates  Retention/decay on non-maturity deposits . Potential cash flows from non-maturity . Needed for valuation analysis (EVE)

 Critical to formulate reliable deposit assumptions, perform deposit studies and stress test results!

Page 28 Non-Maturity Deposits…Key Assumptions

 Potential for Reductions in NMD Balances (“Surge,” “Parked,” etc.)  Disintermediation (leave “banking” system)  Migrate/Shift Back to CDs  Public Funds  Etc.  Sensitized Customers (“Smarter”/More Aware/Less Loyal?)

 Important Consideration: > “Normal” Growth Can be “CORE”  Local Market Bank Failures/Troubled Institutions  In-Market Mergers (Large and/or Out-of-Market Banks)  Some Simply DO BETTER JOB @ Increasing Market Share

Page 29 Validating Deposit Assumptions

 “Core deposit study”  Internal or externally performed  Many different flavors  Higher cost <> more accurate results  Can provide meaningful information…but  Will NOT provide answers with any certainty  Analyzing historical activity can tell you a lot  Balances, rates, # of accounts, open/closed activity  Provides perspective – can serve as reference point  Should relate quantitative results with qualitative experience  No single right answer – range of possible outcomes  Too many influencing factors  Applying “optimistic” and “pessimistic” assumptions is best practice
