statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause Columbia&#146;s or Pacific Continental&#146;s performance or achievements
to be materially different from any expected future results, performance, or achievements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither Columbia nor Pacific Continental assumes any duty to update forward-looking
statements. We caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Columbia and Pacific Continental, including future financial and operating results, the combined company&#146;s plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i)&nbsp;the possibility that the merger does not close
when expected or at all because required regulatory or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; (ii)&nbsp;changes in Columbia&#146;s stock price before closing, including as a result
of the financial performance of Pacific Continental prior to closing, or more generally due to<B> </B>broader stock market movements, and the performance of financial companies and peer group companies; (iii)&nbsp;the risk that the benefits from the
transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement,
