Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Columbia and Pacific Premier for the same periods and reflects adjustments that depict the effects of the pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments assuming those adjustments were made on January 1, 2024 (the “pro forma income statement transaction accounting adjustments”).

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X to illustrate the effects of the mergers under the acquisition method of accounting in Accounting Codification Standards 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) with Columbia treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Pacific Premier (as the accounting acquiree) will be recorded mostly at their respective fair values, as of the effective date of the mergers, and the excess of the fair value of Pacific Premier's net assets over the consideration transferred will be recorded as goodwill. In addition, merger-related costs incurred by Columbia, the accounting acquirer, are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services received.
As discussed in Note 3, certain reclassifications were made to align Pacific Premier’s historical financial statement presentation with that of Columbia. The accounting policies of both Columbia and Pacific Premier are currently under review, and Columbia and Pacific Premier have not identified all adjustments necessary to conform the respective accounting policies into a single accounting policy. As a result of that review, differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when aligned, could have a material impact on the Columbia’s financial information.
The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary transaction accounting adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma financial information. The transaction accounting adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be revised as additional information becomes available.
Note 2—Preliminary Consideration Transferred and Allocation of Consideration Transferred
The transaction accounting adjustments depict the accounting for the mergers, including the determination of the fair value of preliminary consideration transferred and allocation of the preliminary consideration transferred to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill.
Refer to the table below for the preliminary calculation of estimated merger consideration transferred:
| (dollars and shares in thousands) | ||||||||
| Share consideration: | Amount | |||||||
| Shares of Pacific Premier common stock outstanding as of August 29, 2025 | 97,126 | |||||||
| Shares of Pacific Premier restricted stock units and dividend equivalents outstanding as of August 29, 2025 | 49 | |||||||
| Total Pacific Premier shares outstanding plus restricted stock units | 97,175 | |||||||
| Exchange ratio | 0.9150 | |||||||
| Number of shares of Columbia common stock to be issued to Pacific Premier shareholders | 88,915 | |||||||
| Columbia’s market price per common share as of August 29, 2025 | $ | 26.77 | ||||||
| Preliminary fair value of estimated merger consideration transferred | $ | 2,380,257 | ||||||
The final consideration transferred is based upon the completion of the mergers were determined based on the closing price of Columbia common stock on the closing date and the number of issued and outstanding shares of Pacific Premier common stock immediately prior to the effective time. Final consideration transferred may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information, and the differences may be material.

Columbia estimated the fair value of certain Pacific Premier assets and liabilities based on a preliminary valuation analysis, due diligence information, information presented in Pacific Premier’s SEC filings and other publicly available information. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Columbia has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of Pacific Premier’s assets acquired or liabilities assumed for accounting purposes, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Pacific Premier assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary fair values. A final determination of the fair value of Pacific Premier’s assets and liabilities will be based on Pacific Premier’s actual assets and liabilities as of the effective time. Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information, and the differences may be material.
A final determination of the fair value of Pacific Premier’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase price as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company’s statement of income. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase price allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated merger consideration transferred to the fair value of the identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed of Pacific Premier using Pacific Premier's unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025:

Note 3—Effect of Reclassification Adjustments
During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, Columbia performed certain procedures to identify transaction accounting adjustments to be made as a result of material differences in the financial statement presentation of Columbia and Pacific Premier. Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Pacific Premier’s historical financial statement presentation to Columbia’s historical financial statement presentation. Reclassifications have also been made to condense historical Columbia’s amounts reported. Columbia has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Pacific Premier’s accounting policies to Columbia’s accounting policies. Although the merger has closed, Columbia is in the process of performing a more detailed review. As a result of that review, differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined company’s financial information.
The table below represents a summary of reclassification adjustments made to conform the presentation of Pacific Premier’s income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 to that of Columbia:
