accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), dated as of October&nbsp;11, 2021, by and among Columbia Banking System, Inc., a Washington corporation (&#147;Columbia&#148; or the
&#147;Registrant&#148;), Umpqua Holdings Corporation, an Oregon corporation (&#147;Umpqua&#148;), and Cascade Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Columbia (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), as amended on
January&nbsp;9, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into Umpqua (the &#147;Merger&#148;), with Umpqua as the surviving entity (the &#147;Surviving Entity&#148;), and immediately following the Merger, the Surviving Entity merged with and into Columbia
(the &#147;Second Step Merger,&#148; and together with the Merger, the &#147;Mergers&#148;), with Columbia as the surviving corporation in the Second Step Merger. Promptly following the Second Step 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 formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of Umpqua, with Umpqua Bank as the surviving bank. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Treatment of Umpqua Equity Awards </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the &#147;Effective Time&#148;), each outstanding equity award in
respect of a share of Umpqua, no par value (&#147;Umpqua Common Stock&#148;) granted under the Umpqua Holdings Corporation 2013 Incentive Plan and the Sterling Financial Corporation 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the &#147;Umpqua Stock
Plans&#148;) was generally converted into a corresponding award of the Registrant relating to the number of shares of common stock, no par value, of the Registrant (&#147;Common Stock&#148;) equal to the product of (i)&nbsp;the number of shares of
Umpqua Common Stock subject to the award immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, multiplied by (ii) 0.5958 of a share (the &#147;Exchange Ratio&#148;), rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. Each such converted Columbia
equity award continues to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Umpqua equity award immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, (a)&nbsp;in the case of Umpqua performance share unit awards
granted prior to fiscal year 2023 with a total shareholder return performance condition, the number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock subject to the award immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger was determined based on performance at
the 100% (target) level for the 2020-2023 performance period and performance at the 115.75% level for the 2021-2023 performance period, with such awards continuing to vest after the Effective Time solely based on continued service, (b)&nbsp;in the
case of Umpqua performance share unit awards granted prior to fiscal year 2023 with a return on average tangible common equity performance condition, the number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock subject to the award immediately prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger was determined based on performance at the 100.4% level for the 2020-2022 performance period and performance at the 100% (target) level for the 2021-2023 performance period, with such awards continuing to vest after the Effective
Time solely based on continued service, and (c)&nbsp;in the case of deferred share awards held by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> members of Umpqua&#146;s board of directors, such awards were converted into a fully vested
deferred stock award of Common Stock adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each Umpqua performance share unit award that was granted in 2023 was converted into a corresponding award with respect to Common Stock, with the number of
shares underlying such award determined as set forth in the applicable award agreement and adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio, and each such converted Columbia award will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including performance-based
vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Umpqua performance share unit award immediately prior to the Effective Time.<B> </B> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Registration Statement registers 1,765,053 shares of Common Stock which may be issuable upon the vesting, settlement or exercise of the
equity awards described above under the Umpqua Stock Plans. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of
Common Stock that become issuable by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction that results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;23B.08.320 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the &#147;WBCA&#148;) provides that the personal liability of directors to
a corporation imposed by Section&nbsp;23B.08.310 of the WBCA may be eliminated by the articles of incorporation of the corporation, except (i)&nbsp;for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct by the director or a knowing violation of
law by the director, (ii)&nbsp;for conduct violating Section&nbsp;23B.08.310 of the WBCA, or (iii)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally
entitled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the WBCA contain specific provisions further relating to indemnification of directors
and officers of Washington corporations. In general, the statute provides that (i)&nbsp;a corporation must indemnify a director or officer who is wholly successful in his defense of a proceeding to which he is a party because of his status as such,
unless limited by the articles of incorporation, and (ii)&nbsp;a corporation may indemnify a director or officer if he is not wholly successful in such defense, if it is determined as provided in the statute that the director meets a certain
standard of conduct, provided that when a director is liable to the corporation, the corporation may not indemnify him. The statute also permits a director or officer of a corporation who is a party to a proceeding to apply to the courts for
indemnification or advance of expenses, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, and the court may order indemnification or advancement of expenses under certain circumstances set forth in the statute. The statute further provides
that a corporation may in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or by resolution provide indemnification in addition to that provided by statute, provided that any such indemnity shall comply with the provisions of Section&nbsp;23B.08.320 of the
WBCA. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The articles of incorporation of the Registrant provide, among other things, for the
indemnification of directors (including directors of subsidiaries), and authorize the board of directors to pay reasonable expense incurred by, or to satisfy a judgment or fine against, a current or former director in connection with any personal
legal liability incurred by the individual while acting for the Registrant within the scope of his employment, and which was not the result of conduct finally adjudged to be &#147;egregious&#148; conduct. &#147;Egregious&#148; conduct is defined as
intentional misconduct, a knowing violation of law, or participation in any transaction from which the person will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which that person is not legally entitled. The articles of
incorporation also include a provision that limits the liability of directors of the Registrant from any personal liability to the Registrant or its shareholders for conduct not found to have been egregious. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain current directors. These agreements require the Registrant to
indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Articles, federal and Washington state law, against any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys&#146; fees and expenses and any expenses of
establishing a right to indemnification), witness fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by these individuals in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the right of Columbia or the Bank) to which these individuals are, were, or at any time become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, or
are otherwise involved in, by reason of the fact that the individual is or was a director or officer-director of the Registrant. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws (including the Securities Act),
ERISA and federal banking law violations may be permitted to directors or executive officers, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable. </P>

Period. However, designation of a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award for such Performance
Period. The determination as to whether or not such Participant becomes entitled to payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award shall be decided solely in accordance with the provisions of this Section&nbsp;10. Moreover, designation of
a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one person as a

from one Affiliate to another, or (b)&nbsp;an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee&#146;s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract

number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, to the extent possible, so that the
adjustment shall not result in an accounting consequence under Opinion 25 of the Accounting Principles Board, as amended, and any successor thereof, and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.&nbsp;44, as amended, and so that the
adjustment shall not result in any taxes to the Company or the Participant. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section&nbsp;13, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company
or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section&nbsp;13 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-qualified</FONT> Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section&nbsp;13 will not constitute a modification of such <FONT

substitutions will not cause the Company to be denied a tax deduction on account of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">14.1 <U>Vesting</U>. Unless otherwise provided in Section&nbsp;14.2 or in the Award Agreement or an employment agreement, vesting of Awards

the alternative, the successor entity may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to shareholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards). The successor
entity may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially similar shares. In the event such successor or acquiring entity (if any) refuses to assume, convert, replace or substitute Awards, as
provided above, pursuant to a Change in Control, then notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, such Awards shall have their vesting accelerate as to all shares subject to such Award immediately prior to the Change in Control
unless otherwise determined by the Committee and then such Awards will terminate. In addition, in the event such successor or acquiring entity (if any) refuses to assume, convert, replace or substitute Awards, as provided above, pursuant to a Change
in Control, the Committee will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that such Award will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and such Award will terminate upon the expiration of such
period. Awards need not be treated similarly in a Change in Control. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">14.3 <U>Assumption of Awards by the Company</U>. The Company, from
time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another entity, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other entity or otherwise, by either; (a)&nbsp;granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such
other entity&#146;s award; or (b)&nbsp;assuming such award as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the
holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other entity had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another entity, the
terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except that the Exercise Price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of any such Award will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section&nbsp;424(a) of the
Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option in substitution rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">14.4 <U>Cancellation</U>. In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may in its discretion and upon at least 10 days&#146;
advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by
other shareholders of the Company in the event. In the case of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price (or SAR Exercise Price in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right) that equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of
Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee may cancel the Option or Stock Appreciation Right without the payment of consideration therefor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">14.5 <U>Successors</U>. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting
from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)&nbsp;notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from
time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii)&nbsp;full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with all applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration
and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the
Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other distribution
rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other distribution right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section&nbsp;3(d) of the Plan. </P>

the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3)&nbsp;months following the Participant&#146;s termination.
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited. If after termination the
Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will be forfeited. </P>

such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a
specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12)&nbsp;months following the Participant&#146;s Disability. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not
vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate,

(or during the period of time provided under Sections 6(e) (ii) or (iii)&nbsp;for exercising an Option following a Participant&#146;s Disability or termination other than for death or Disability), the Option may be exercised following the
Participant&#146;s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option
as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant&#146;s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant&#146;s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been
designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant&#146;s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant&#146;s will or in accordance with the
laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12)&nbsp;months following Participant&#146;s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the
time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately be forfeited. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will be forfeited. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:13%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(v) <U>Termination For Cause</U>. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant&#146;s service is terminated for Cause, or if, following the Participant&#146;s termination of service and during any period in which the Option otherwise would remain exercisable, the Participant
engages in any act that would constitute Cause, the Option shall terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of service or act. </P>

violate EESA or other Applicable Laws, or if the making of such payment, or accrual, may in the judgment of the Company limit or adversely impact the ability of the Company to participate in, or the terms of the Company&#146;s participation in, the
Troubled Asset Relief Program (&#147;TARP&#148;), the Capital Purchase Program (&#147;CPP&#148;), or to qualify for any other relief under EESA, the affected Participants shall be deemed to have waived their rights to such payments or accruals.
