GAAP,
and
are
not
necessarily
comparable
to
non-GAAP
measures
that
may
be

by
other
companies.

these
non-GAAP
measures

directly
comparable

may contain statements that are not historical in nature and are
intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements
for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements
are those that are not historical facts. The words “may,” “will,”

of the future, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
related to our projected growth, anticipated future
financial performance, and management’s long-term performance
goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects
on our results of operations and financial condition from expected or potential

anticipated internal growth and balance sheet restructuring.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those

in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct
operations; our ability to successfully manage interest rate
risk, credit
risk, liquidity risk, and other risks inherent to our industry; the
accuracy of our financial statement estimates and assumptions,
including the estimates used for our credit loss reserve and deferred
tax asset valuation allowance; the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal
control procedures and processes; our ability to comply with
the extensive laws and regulations to
which we are subject, including the laws for each jurisdiction where
we operate; adverse changes or conditions in the capital and financial
markets, including actual or potential stresses in the banking
industry; deposit attrition and the level of our uninsured deposits; legislative
or regulatory changes and changes in accounting principles, policies,
practices or guidelines, including the on-going effects of the
implementation of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)

the Company’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions
about our operations and performance. Operating performance
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to
or substitute for, measures determined in accordance
with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures
that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these
non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
