Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 27, 2016, the Registrant issued
a news release to announce its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The news release is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1.
The news release includes disclosure of net
interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, which is a non-GAAP performance measure used by management in operating its business.
Management believes that analysis of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis is useful and appropriate because it allows
a comparison of net interest income amounts in different periods without taking into account the different mix of taxable versus
non-taxable investments that may have existed during those periods.
The news release also includes disclosure of
tax-equivalent net interest margin, excluding the impact of loan discount accretion, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Management
believes that it is useful to calculate and present the net interest margin without the impact of loan discount accretion, for
the reasons explained in the rest of this paragraph. Loan discount accretion is a non-cash interest income adjustment related to
the Registrant’s acquisition of two failed banks and represents the portion of the fair value discount that was initially
recorded on the acquired loans that is being recognized into income over the lives of the loans. At March 31, 2016, the Registrant
had a remaining loan discount balance of $14.0 million compared to $19.1 million at March 31, 2015. For the related loans that
perform and pay-down over time, the loan discount will also be reduced, with a corresponding increase to interest income. Therefore
management believes it is useful to also present this ratio to reflect net interest margin excluding this non-cash, temporary loan
discount accretion adjustment to aid investors in comparing financial results between periods.
The Registrant cautions that non-GAAP financial
measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the reported GAAP results. A reconciliation between
the non-GAAP financial measures presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP
is included in the news release and financial summary attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Disclosures About Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, which statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that

fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,”

concerning opinions or judgments of the Company and its management about future events. Factors that could influence the accuracy
of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of the Company’s
customers, the Company’s level of success in integrating acquisitions, actions of government regulators, the level of market
interest rates, and general economic conditions. For additional information about the factors that could affect the matters discussed
in this paragraph, see the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking
statements. The Company is also not responsible for changes made to the press release by wire services, internet services or other
media.
