Explanatory Note
On March 1, 2023, Columbia Banking System, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Columbia”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report that, effective as of February 28, 2023, after the close of business, Columbia completed its merger with Umpqua Holdings Corporation, an Oregon corporation (“Umpqua”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 11, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2023, (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Umpqua, Columbia, and Cascade Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Umpqua (the “Merger”), with Umpqua as the surviving entity, and (ii) immediately thereafter, Umpqua merged with and into Columbia, with Columbia as the surviving entity (the “Subsequent Merger” and, together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). Promptly following the closing of the Subsequent Merger, Columbia State Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia, merged with and into Umpqua Bank, an Oregon state-chartered commercial bank and, by virtue of the Mergers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia (the “Bank Merger”), with Umpqua Bank surviving the Bank Merger.
This amendment to the Original Report (the “Amendment”) is being filed to provide the financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.
The pro forma financial information included in this Amendment has been presented for informational purposes only, as required by Form 8-K. It does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Columbia and Umpqua would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented in the pro forma financial information and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after completion of the Mergers. The pro forma financial information combines the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of Columbia and Umpqua as a reverse acquisition of Columbia by Umpqua. Columbia has posted to its website a supplemental presentation intended to provide additional information on the accounting treatment of a reverse acquisition.
Except as described in this Amendment, all other information in the Original Report remains unchanged.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (“Columbia”) and Umpqua Holdings Corporation (“Umpqua”) as a reverse acquisition of Columbia by Umpqua. The merger of Columbia and Umpqua (the “merger”) closed after close of business on February 28, 2023 and provided that each share of common stock of Umpqua issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.5958 of a share (the “exchange ratio” and such shares, the “merger consideration”) of common stock of Columbia. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes (the “unaudited pro forma financial information”) are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the following:
| • | the reverse acquisition of Columbia by Umpqua pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October<br>11, 2021, as amended on January 9, 2023, by and among Umpqua, Columbia and Cascade Merger Sub, Inc. (the “reverse acquisition”); |
|---|---|
| • | a $20 million contribution by Columbia and Umpqua to the charitable foundation of the combined company<br>following the closing of the reverse acquisition (the “donations”); and |
| --- | --- |
| • | the divestiture of certain Columbia branches, including loans, premises and equipment, and deposits (the<br>“divestitures”) prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition. |
| --- | --- |
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Columbia and Umpqua as of such date and includes adjustments that depict the accounting for the reverse acquisition, donation, and divestitures (as defined herein) as required by GAAP (“pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments”) as of February 28, 2023. Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022, combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Columbia and Umpqua for the same period and include adjustments that depict the effects of the pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments assuming those adjustments were made as of January 1, 2022 (“pro forma income statement transaction accounting adjustments”). We refer to pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments and pro forma income statement transaction accounting adjustments collectively as the “transaction accounting adjustments.”
The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto in each of Columbia’s and Umpqua’s SEC filings including:
| • | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Columbia and accompanying notes included in<br>Columbia’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022; and |
|---|---|
| • | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Umpqua and accompanying notes included in<br>Umpqua’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. |
| --- | --- |
The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the reverse acquisition, donations, and the divestitures been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial.
The unaudited pro forma financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions (other than the divestitures), and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the final purchase price allocation.
The Company has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of the Columbia assets to be acquired or liabilities to be assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned estimates, certain Columbia assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary values.
1
A final determination of the fair value of Columbia’s assets and liabilities will be based on Columbia’s actual assets and liabilities as of February 28, 2023. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total purchase consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company’s statement of income. The final purchase consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
Certain reclassifications to conform historical financial statement presentations of Columbia to Umpqua have been made in the unaudited pro forma financial information. The transaction accounting adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma financial information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X to illustrate the effects of the reverse acquisition, the donations, and the divestitures. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2022 combine the historical consolidated income statement of Columbia and Umpqua, giving effect to the reverse acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2022. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Columbia and Umpqua, giving effect to the reverse acquisition as if it had been completed on December 31, 2022.
Columbia estimated common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 8.7% and the estimated total capital ratio was 10.9%, the estimated total capital ratio for Umpqua Bank was 10.3%, based on the pro forma financials as of December 31, 2022 (without giving effect to the divestitures). Please see “Unaudited Pro Forma Capital Ratios” of this Exhibit 99.2.
The reverse acquisition will be accounted for under the reverse acquisition method of accounting with Umpqua treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the reverse acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Columbia, as of the closing date, will be recorded by Umpqua at their respective fair values and the excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of Columbia’s net assets will be recognized as goodwill.
The donations will be accounted for as an other expense immediately following close of the reverse acquisition.
The divestiture of certain Columbia branches, including loans, premises and equipment, and deposits (the “divestitures”), in satisfaction of commitments to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), are also reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
Columbia has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Columbia’s accounting policies to Umpqua’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.
Note 2—Preliminary Purchase Accounting Allocation
The transaction accounting adjustments depict the completion of the merger, including the allocation of the preliminary purchase price. The impact of equity awards on the purchase price is immaterial and has been excluded in the unaudited pro forma financial information. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The transaction accounting adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be revised as additional information becomes available.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary calculation of the estimated purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired. Since the acquisition will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the estimated purchase price was determined in accordance with FASB ASC 805-40-30-2, which explains that the purchase price in a reverse acquisition is determined based on “the number of equity interests the legal acquiree would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal acquirer the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition.”
5
The first step in estimating the purchase price in the merger is to determine the pro forma ownership of the combined company following the merger. The table below summarizes, for each current shareholder group, the pro forma ownership of Columbia common stock following the merger as well as the pro forma market capitalization of the combined company using shares of Columbia common stock and Umpqua common stock outstanding at December 31, 2022 and the closing price of Columbia common stock on February 28, 2023.
| Columbia Ownership and Market Value Table<br>(Pro Forma) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Number of Umpqua<br>Outstanding Shares | Percentage<br>Ownership | Market Value at29.73 ColumbiaShare Price | |||
| Current Columbia shareholders | 78,871 | 37.8 | % | |||
| Current Umpqua shareholders | 130,051 | 62.2 | % | |||
| Total | 208,922 | 100.0 | % |
All values are in US Dollars.
Next, the hypothetical number of shares of Umpqua common stock that would have to be issued to give Columbia shareholders the same percentage ownership in the combined company is calculated in the table below (based on shares of Umpqua common stock outstanding at December 31, 2022):
| Hypothetical Umpqua Ownership | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Number of Umpqua<br>Outstanding Shares | Percentage<br>Ownership | |||
| Current Columbia shareholders | 132,378 | 37.8 | % | ||
| Current Umpqua shareholders | 218,279 | 62.2 | % | ||
| Total | 350,657 | 100.0 | % |
Finally, the purchase price for purposes of the transaction accounting adjustments is calculated based on the number of hypothetical shares of Umpqua common stock to be issued to Columbia shareholders, multiplied by the share price as demonstrated in the table below (amounts in thousands except per share data):
| Number of hypothetical Umpqua common shares issued to Columbia shareholders | 132,378 | |
|---|---|---|
| Umpqua market price per share as of February 28, 2023 | $ | 17.66 |
| Purchase price determination of hypothetical Umpqua shares issued to Columbia<br>shareholders | $ | 2,337,793 |
The final purchase price paid by Columbia in shares of Columbia common stock upon the completion of the reverse acquisition were determined based on the closing price of Columbia common stock on the closing date and the number of issued and outstanding shares of Umpqua common stock immediately prior to the effective time. Actual adjustments 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 Columbia assets and liabilities based on a preliminary valuation analysis, due diligence information, information presented in Columbia’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 Columbia’s assets acquired or liabilities assumed for reverse acquisition accounting purposes, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Columbia 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 Columbia’s assets and liabilities will be based on Columbia’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 Columbia’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.

Note 3—Transaction Accounting Adjustments
The following transaction accounting adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change.
Balance Sheet
| (dollars in thousands) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Adjustments to cash and cash equivalents | ||
| To reflect cash paid for merger expenses. | (72,444 | ) | |
| To reflect cash paid for donations. | (20,000 | ) | |
| To reflect cash in divested branches. | (2,774 | ) | |
| (95,218 | ) | ||
| Remaining merger expenses expected to be incurred for change in control agreements, investment banker fees, legal fees, and other accounting and audit related costs, that are directly attributable to the merger, are reflected in<br>the pro forma combined condensed statement of financial condition. Other expenses are expected to be incurred in the merger for termination of leases, signage and store conversions, vendor contracts, severance, and retention, as well as other<br>miscellaneous costs. It is estimated that these amounts not yet incurred will be an additional 100 million, but are not reflected in the pro formas herein. | |||
| B | Adjustment to investment securities, held to maturity | ||
| To reflect estimated fair value of acquired investment securities. | (312,014 | ) | |
| C | Adjustment to loans held for sale | ||
| To reflect loans sold with divestiture of Columbia branches. | (69,683 | ) | |
| D | Adjustments to loans and leases | ||
| To reflect estimated fair value related to current interest rates and liquidity on acquired loans and leases. This<br>adjustment will be recognized into income using the effective interest method over the remaining life of the loans and leases. | |||
| Fair values were estimated for portfolios of loans with similar behavioral characteristics. Loans were segregated by<br>type, including commercial real estate, commercial business, agriculture, construction, one-to-four family residential real estate, and other consumer. Each loan type<br>was further segregated by performance characteristics to bifurcate PCD from non-PCD loans. The fair value of loans by type and by performance characteristics (each a loan pool) was calculated using a<br>discounted cash flow methodology over the weighted average life of each pool. The discount rate was determined using a weighted approach on both a market approach as well as a recent origination discount approach. The market approach was based on<br>spreads ranging between 1.9% and 4.0%, observed on publicly available market rates of loans that were comparable to the loans in the subject pools. The recent origination discount approach was based on new loan rate spreads ranging between<br>approximately 1.4% and 3.7% based on Columbia originated loans in the three months prior to valuation. The weight applied to each approach was based on the comparability of loan pool risk characteristics and availability of recent origination and<br>public market data. A liquidity premium of approximately 0.4% to 0.5% for non-PCD loans was then applied based on spreads between yields of AA Financial corporate bonds and US Treasury Strip rates for each<br>pool’s respective weighted average life. An additional spread of 1.5% was applied to PCD loans based on market data. The discount spreads post-liquidity premium were applied over the three-month LIBOR swap rate to discount the loan level cash<br>flows for each respective loan pool. These amounts were discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in each loan pool, which were based on current expected credit loss estimates. Resulting weighted average loan rate fair<br>value discount was 5.1%. | (592,160 | ) | |
| To reflect estimated lifetime credit losses on acquired loans and leases. | (158,438 | ) | |
| Net fair value pro forma adjustments. | (750,598 | ) | |

Note 4—Divestitures in Connection with the Reverse Acquisition
In connection with the merger, Columbia sold seven branches in Washington and Oregon to 1st Security Bank of Washington, the wholly-owned subsidiary of FS Bancorp, Inc., and three branches in Northern California to First Northern Bank of Dixon, the wholly-owned subsidiary of First Northern Community Bancorp. The branches, with approximately $542 million in total deposits and $70 million in total loans, were divested in satisfaction of commitments to the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the Federal Reserve in connection with the reverse acquisition. The divestitures occurred in the first quarter of 2023. As such, these divestitures are included in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
