THE IMPACT OF TAX REFORM During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Corporation recorded a $15.6 million charge(1) to income taxes related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets as a result of a new federal tax legislation enacted in December 2017. In the following table, the “As Adjusted” column presents Income Taxes, Net Income, Earnings Per Share (Diluted) and selected financial ratios adjusted to exclude this charge: 4 (1) This charge was estimated by the Corporation as of December 31, 2017 based on an initial analysis of the Act and may be adjusted in future periods following completion of the Corporation’s 2017 federal income tax return and evaluation of the effects, if any, of implementation guidance or regulations that may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service on the Corporation’s initial analysis of the Act. (2) The information presented in the “As Adjusted” column and ROE (tangible) are non-GAAP based financial measures. Please refer to the calculation and management’s reasons for using these measures on the slide titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” at the end of this presentation.

2018 OUTLOOK • Loans & Deposits: Average annual loan and core deposit growth rates in the mid single digits • Asset Quality: Provision driven primarily by loan growth • Non-Interest Income(1): Low single-digit growth • Non-Interest Expense: Including amortization of tax free investments, low single-digit growth rate • Capital: Focus on utilizing capital to support loan growth and provide appropriate returns to shareholders • Net Interest Margin: Tax reform legislation impacts the computation of 2018 tax equivalent net interest margin percentages. As a result of the impact of the lower corporate income tax rate on primarily the tax-free loan portfolio, NIM in the first quarter of 2018 is expected to decline 1 to 5 basis points. However for the full year 2018, the outlook for NIM is an increase of 2 to 7 basis points. • Effective Tax Rate: Anticipated to range between 11% to 16% depending on level of tax credits realized 12 (1) Excluding securities gains and the litigation settlement of $5.1 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017
