style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">First Financial Bancorp. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) expects its first quarter net income and earnings per share to be adversely </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">affected</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;by a significant charge-off from a single $16.8 million finance relationship at its subsidiary, First Franchise Capital Corporation.  The relationship was placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2018.  Based on further investigation and certain actions taken by one of the franchisors during the first quarter of 2019, the Company believes that the borrower&#8217;s assets, consisting of numerous quick-serve franchise stores, have substantially deteriorated. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">As a result of this investigation and developments, the Company currently intends to charge off approximately $10 million related to this credit relationship for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.  This charge-off is anticipated to negatively affect the Company&#8217;s pre-tax earnings by approximately $10 million and its net income by approximately $8 million, or approximately $0.08 per diluted share on an after-tax basis.  As a result, the Company expects its GAAP earnings per share to be approximately $0.47.&#160; The Company anticipates earnings per share of approximately $0.48 when adjusted for non-operating items (primarily merger-related expenses) that we believe are important to understanding our quarterly performance.  This adjusted earnings per share represents a return on assets of approximately 1.38%.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The Company is taking action to enforce its rights against the borrower and its collateral, including to preserve and recover the borrower&#8217;s assets, where appropriate.  We also continue to believe that the Company&#8217;s overall credit performance will remain stable in 2019.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The Company intends to release full results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 on April 25, 2019.
