 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This news release includes forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, descriptions of Columbia&#146;s management&#146;s expectations regarding future events and developments such as future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of Columbia&#146;s
style of banking and the strength of the local economy. The words &#147;will,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; and &#147;anticipate&#148; or the negative of these words or words of similar
construction are intended in part to help identify forward looking statements. Future events are difficult to predict, and the expectations described above are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control,
that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely. In addition to discussions about risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in Columbia&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, available at the
SEC&#146;s website at <U>www.sec.gov</U> and the Company&#146;s website at <U>www.columbiabank.com</U>, including the &#147;Risk Factors,&#148; &#147;Business&#148; and &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations&#148; sections of our annual reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and quarterly reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q,</FONT> (as applicable), factors that may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (1)&nbsp;local, national and international economic conditions may be less favorable than expected or have a more direct and
pronounced effect on Columbia than expected and adversely affect Columbia&#146;s ability to continue its internal growth at historical rates and maintain the quality of its earning assets; (2)&nbsp;changes in interest rates could significantly
reduce net interest income and negatively affect funding sources; (3)&nbsp;projected business increases following strategic expansion or opening or acquiring new branches may be lower than expected; (4)&nbsp;costs or difficulties related to the
integration of acquisitions may be greater than expected; (5)&nbsp;competitive pressure among financial institutions may increase significantly; and (6)&nbsp;legislation or regulatory requirements or changes may adversely affect the businesses in
which Columbia is engaged. We believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to us on the date hereof. However, given the described uncertainties and risks, we cannot guarantee our
future performance or results of operations and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by the federal securities laws. The factors noted above and the risks and uncertainties described in our SEC filings should be considered when reading any forward-looking
statements in this release. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center">### </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
