In addition, FUSB, through its senior management, may make from time to time forward-looking public statements concerning the matters described herein. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of FUSB’s senior management based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Such factors may include risks related to the Company's credit, including that if loan losses are greater than anticipated; the increased lending risks associated with commercial real estate lending; potential weakness in the residential real estate market: liquidity risks; the impact of national and local market conditions on the Company's business and operations; the rate of growth (or lack thereof) in the economy generally and in the Company’s service areas; the effects of significant changes to the structure and operations of the federal government; strong competition in the banking industry; the impact of changes in interest rates and monetary policy on the Company’s performance and financial condition; the effects of fiscal challenges facing the U.S. government or any potential government shutdown; the impact of technological changes in the banking and financial service industries and potential information system failures; potential effects of digital banking trends; cybersecurity and data privacy threats; the risks and challenges presented by the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”); the costs of complying with extensive governmental regulation; the impact of changing accounting standards and tax laws on the Company's allowance for credit losses and financial results; the possibility that acquisitions may not produce anticipated results and result in unforeseen integration difficulties; and other risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s public filings, including, but not limited to, the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Relative to the Company’s dividend policy, the payment of cash dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be determined in light of then-current conditions, including the Company’s earnings, leverage, operations, financial conditions, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

Presentation Disclosure This presentation has been prepared by FUSB solely for informational purposes based on its own information, as well as information from public sources. This presentation has been prepared to assist interested parties in making their own evaluation of FUSB and does not purport to contain all of the information that may be relevant. In all cases, interested parties should conduct their own investigation and analysis of FUSB and the information included in this presentation or other information provided by or on behalf of FUSB. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of FUSB by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation. Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities of FUSB or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Except as otherwise indicated, this presentation speaks as of the date indicated on the cover page.

FUSB presents non-GAAP financial measures when it believes that the additional information is useful and meaningful to management and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
