Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are not historical
facts and include expressions about management’s confidence and strategies and management’s expectations about new and existing programs and products,
acquisitions, relationships, opportunities, taxation, technology, market conditions and economic expectations. These statements may be identified by such forward-
looking terminology as “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “view,” “opportunity,” “allow,” “continues,” “reflects,” “typically,” “usually,” “anticipate,” or similar statements or
variations of such terms. Such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking
statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
failure to obtain shareholder or regulatory approval for our merger with CNLBancshares, Inc. (“CNL”) or to satisfy other conditions to the merger (the “Merger”) on the
proposed terms and within the proposed timeframe including, without limitation, delays in closing the Merger; adverse reaction to the Merger by CNL’s customers or
employees; the diversion of management’s time on issues relating to the Merger; the inability to realize expected cost savings and synergies from the Merger in the
amounts or in the timeframe anticipated; changes in the estimate of non-recurring charges; costs or difficulties relating to integration matters might be greater than
expected; material adverse changes in our operations or earnings; a severe decline in the general economic conditions of New Jersey, the New York Metropolitan area
or Florida; unexpected changes in market interest rates for interest earning assets and/or interest bearing liabilities; less than expected cost savings from long-term
borrowings that mature from 2015 to 2018; government intervention in the U.S. financial system and the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve; claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility, contractual issues, environmental laws
and other matters; higher than expected loan losses within one or more segments of our loan portfolio; declines in value in our investment portfolio, including
additional other-than-temporary impairment charges on our investment securities; unexpected significant declines in the loan portfolio due to the lack of economic
expansion, increased competition, large prepayments or other factors; unanticipated credit deterioration in our loan portfolio; unanticipated loan delinquencies, loss of
collateral, decreased service revenues, and other potential negative effects on our business caused by severe weather or other external events; higher than expected
tax rates, including increases resulting from changes in tax laws, regulations and case law; an unexpected decline in real estate values within our market areas; higher
than expected FDIC insurance assessments; the failure of other financial institutions with whom we have trading, clearing, counterparty and other financial
relationships; lack of liquidity to fund our various cash obligations; unanticipated reduction in our deposit base; potential acquisitions that may disrupt our business;
legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations) subject us to
additional regulatory oversight which may result in higher compliance costs and/or require us to change our business model; changes in accounting policies or
accounting standards; our inability to promptly adapt to technological changes; our internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent losses; the
inability to realize expected revenue synergies from the 1st United Bancorp, Inc. (“1st United”) merger in the amounts or in the timeframe anticipated; inability to
retain customers and employees, including those of 1st United; lower than expected cash flows from purchased credit-impaired loans; cyber attacks, computer viruses
or other malware that may breach the security of our websites or other systems to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data, disable or
degrade service, or sabotage our systems;  future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, changes in market conditions, or other factors; and other
unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or earnings. A detailed discussion of factors that could affect our results is included in our SEC filings, including
the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement
to conform the statement to actual results or changes in our expectations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
