The current integration of JCB has kept us very busy during the quarter but despite this, we remain focused on sustaining our core growth trends and our longer term strategic objectives.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Our financial scorecard is presented on slide 4.  The company&#8217;s strong performance has continued into 2017.  Core EPS improved by 26 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016.  Continued strong loan growth and expansion of our net interest margin has driven year-over-year growth in net interest income dollars by 27 percent when compared to the same period in 2016.  These results are a product of steady loan and deposit growth throughout the year.  </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;Kemasson Transcription &amp; Data</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;           </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">1</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;             </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">blano@kemasson.com</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">302.521.7954</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Our relationship-oriented approach continues to serve us well as seen through our rigorous defense of our net interest margin.  Compared to the first quarter of 2016, we saw net interest margin grow by 9 basis points to 3.63 percent. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Credit remains very solid.  Both non-performers and classified assets improved from year-end 2016 and overall credit statistics compared favorably to our peer group.  Even with the additional expenses related to JCB, we continue to show the ability to positively leverage our fixed expense base as our efficiency ratio improved by 1 percent compared to a year ago.  However, it did increase compared to the linked quarter due to the acquisition expenses but we would expect to see improvement of this ratio by the end of the year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Finally, we are very proud of our continued ability to fund our loan growth with core deposits.  Our focus in this area, coupled with our relationship approach is the key to this success.  Overall deposit growth inclusive of the JCB acquisitions grew by 38 percent compared to one year ago.  Also impressive, we were able to grow our deposits on an organic basis by 11 percent over the same time period.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">I would now like to turn it over to Scott Goodman who will provide more color as it relates to our loan and deposit growth, as well as providing more insight to our achievements within our markets.</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Scott Goodman:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Thanks, Jim.  Loan growth continues on a healthy pace as outlined on slide 5.  The growth in Q1 is a combination of acquired as well as ongoing organic activity.  The JCB portfolio added $678 million in new loans, pushing the one-year growth rate to 36 percent.  Net of the acquired loans, organic sales channels also continue to produce strong results at a 12 percent rate over this same period.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Focusing on C&amp;I lending, slide 6 illustrates our ongoing double digit pace.  Year over year growth of 15 percent includes the addition of $79 million in C&amp;I loans from JCB to the portfolio, while organic regional and specialty businesses remain steady, also contributing to the growth at an annualized rate of roughly 10 percent.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Acquired and organic activities produced growth across all sectors of the portfolio in Q1.  Slides 6 and 7 break this down both by loan type and by market.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Specialized lending growth was led by a seasonally strong quarter for Enterprise Value Lending.  Our existing private equity sponsors have been able to execute on some attractive investments recently, and our efforts to expand the sponsor-base into markets like Dallas and Boston are providing new relationship opportunities.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">While market pressures stemming from higher purchase multiples are creating a challenge, our private equity partners generally remain disciplined as they develop alternative sources to surface new opportunities.  Most also have a positive outlook for the lower middle market M&amp;A and continue to successfully raise additional capital consistent with historic investment parameters.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Life insurance premium finance also posted growth consistent with seasonally light first quarter expectations.  We are seeing some pricing pressures in this business particularly from a couple large regional banks.  We&#8217;re remaining disciplined and protecting margin at this point based on our relationships with existing advisor firms and our strong reputation in the specialty.  We&#8217;ve seen the larger banks come in and out of this sector in the past and expect our value proposition of consistent execution and consultancy with the advisory firms to keep us competitive.</font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;Kemasson Transcription &amp; Data</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;           </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">2</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;             </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">blano@kemasson.com</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">302.521.7954</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In Kansas City, we posted strong growth in the quarter with a net increase of $23 million or 22 percent annualized.  Results were a combination of growth across multiple sectors including C&amp;I, CRE and consumer.  The Kansas City metro area and the urban core, in particular, continues its steady growth and expansion and we&#8217;re benefitting from new investors entering the market for industrial, commercial and residential projects.  We&#8217;ve also been able to leverage our tax credit expertise to win new relationships for institutions and C&amp;I businesses expanding within the region.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Furthermore, our growth in this market has enabled us to attract talented and experienced bankers to our team.  Most recently, we&#8217;ve added two such bankers from larger competitors since year-end.  Both are relationship managers with ten-plus years of experience handling large client portfolios in the middle market, C&amp;I and CRE spaces.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In Arizona, we grew by $10 million or an annualized rate of 18 percent in the quarter.  As I mentioned last call, we transitioned several experienced bankers from our Kansas City region into Arizona recently to complement several other new local bankers that we had added to the platform there.  We look to capitalize on developing opportunities and growth in this market and the expanded team has gained momentum quickly.  Growth in the quarter resulted from several new CRE projects and a large new C&amp;I relationship that was moved from a regional competitor.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In St. Louis, the team has been highly focused on the integration of JCB and the addition of the JCB bankers and clients transforms our St. Louis portfolio to $2.2 billion.  A large majority of the JCB book is commercial real estate which fits comfortably with the sector makeup of our existing portfolio.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">From a personnel standpoint, we&#8217;ve been able to integrate their commercial bankers into our existing team and retain all key JCB branch personnel.  Our approach has been to minimize client disruption and maintain the relationships that were in place with JCB client-facing associates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">From an organic perspective during the quarter, St. Louis continues to originate solid, new C&amp;I loan opportunities complemented by select CRE projects of targeted investors.  Organic growth in the quarter was quelled by some large CRE payouts resulting from various events including project completions on SBA504 loans, some property sales and several competitive rate decisions.  Looking forward and given competitive pressures in CRE lending, continued momentum for us in specialty and C&amp;I origination pipelines provides flexibility for us to expand the CRE book thoughtfully and strategically.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Deposit growth is profiled on slide 9.  It shows the impact of the JCB acquisition pushing total deposits above the $4 billion mark and vaulting us into the number four position in the St. Louis market, overall.  The additional acquired deposits of $774 million has been complementary to our legacy portfolio.  The JCB branches have expanded our distribution into southern and western portions of the region while retaining an attractive deposit mix at roughly 26 percent non-interest bearing accounts.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Organic deposits were also up for the quarter, consistent with seasonal growth expectations and show an increase of over 11 percent from the same period last year.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Our strategic focus on developing a sales process to emphasize deposit production has enabled us to maintain this double digit growth base required to support our lending activity.  Success has been the result of both focused initiatives and incorporating deposit production into our sales culture, in general.  We positioned dedicated leadership into roles which emphasize deposit growth including our newly appointed director of </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;Kemasson Transcription &amp; Data</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;           </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">3</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;             </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">blano@kemasson.com</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">302.521.7954</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">deposits, regional consumer sales managers and several new commercial deposit RMs.  Much of our emphasis in the sales process, moving forward, will also be centered around initiatives that can help drive both the growth and cost effective profile of our funding base.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Now, I&#8217;d like to turn the call over to Keene Turner for a review of our financial performance.</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Keene Turner:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Thank you, Scott.  First quarter results continue to be strong and reflective of both our organic execution and recent acquisition efforts.  Slide 10 reconciles $0.56 of reported earnings per share to $0.59 of core earnings per share.  As you can see, non-core acquired asset contribution was relatively straightforward this quarter at $0.03 per share and we also reported $0.06 per share of merger expenses for JCB.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The merger-related items were comparable to the fourth quarter and the notably higher acceleration activity from Q4 in the non-core acquired book drove the increase in reported EPS.  Nonetheless, we&#8217;re off to an excellent start for 2017 with a strong first quarter.  Core EPS was equal to our typically seasonally strongest quarter at $0.59 per share and the return on average assets of 1.17 percent is a positive to start the year.  Additionally, we closed JCB early in the year and it was sooner than we had previously indicated. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Turning to slide 11, we&#8217;ll walk through the changes in our core earnings per share from the linked fourth quarter.  Obviously, the income statement was affected by the results from JCB since February 10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:8pt">th</sup></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  On this slide, we attempt to isolate those results on EPS and characterize the underlying fundamental performance which was encouraging, in my view, to start the year.  Those trends obviously bode well for our results for the quarters to come</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">High level, we estimate that from an EPS perspective, JCB added about a penny per share when you reflect the share issuance and some finance cost assumptions.  On top of that, there was a $0.06 per share income tax benefit from the implementation of the new accounting standard for share-based awards.  We believe this item is core and we expect this to continue principally in the first quarter of future periods.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">We posted a slightly higher provision for loan losses at $0.02 per share and expenses and non-interest income were impacted by seasonality by $0.03 and $0.05, respectively.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Net interest income, however, expended $0.03 per share in the linked quarter and I&#8217;ll walk through that more in detail on slide 12.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Core net interest income increased to $37.6 million for the first quarter.  Of that increase, we estimate the legacy Enterprise earnings grew by approximately $1 million due to the impact of growth, as well as strong net interest margin performance.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Our balance sheet and margin were both positively impacted by several interest rate factors.  First, the interest rate increase in December positively impacted our loan yield which expanded 21 basis points, sequentially.  Additionally, we pre-purchased a significant portion of the JCB investment portfolio in the fourth quarter and early in the first so we had a full quarter with some higher investment rates in typical agency mortgage-backed paper that we buy at the 2.7 to 2.8 percent range and that drove up the overall yield in the investment portfolio.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Further, the seasonally high liquidity we had at yearend began to be deployed by customers and we leveraged the sub-debt offering that occurred early in Q4.

We&#8217;re always managing them closely in order to defend and protect funding levels and to support our growth, thus the linked quarter increase was only 2 basis points and only 5 basis points from the prior year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">With all that said, core net interest margin increase 19 basis points in the linked quarter to 3.63 percent.  Again, the largest driver of the improvement was the underlying rate impact for legacy Enterprise. JCB&#8217;s historical margin was slightly lower but purchasing accounting impact blended that back and provided some aid to the first quarter market.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">To reaffirm what we are expecting going forward we have targeted 2017 portfolio loan growth at or above 10 percent.  We were right around 7 percent in the first quarter so we feel good about our progress thus far.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">We&#8217;re managing the balance sheet to remain modestly asset sensitive, about $2.2 billion, or 56 percent of the portfolio remains variable rate of which approximately two-thirds will experience some sort of repricing in the near term.  That composition was affected by the portfolio from JCB that came on and drove that down just slightly.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">We&#8217;ve also yet to experience much of the impact from the market interest rate increase so we&#8217;re optimistic that we will again have some sequential core net interest margin expansion.  That said, our focus is on net interest income growth in dollars and not just from full quarter impacts of JCB.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">On slide 13, credit trends continue to support our profitability.  We experienced modest net recoveries in the quarter with $56 million of portfolio loan growth.  The $1.5 million provision in the quarter actually increased comparative coverage on the allowance for loan losses to total loans by 3 basis points, to 1.23 percent.  This increased coverage was largely driven by provisioning on one non-performing loan we&#8217;ve been discussing for the last couple quarters.  Worth noting, the mark on JCB&#8217;s loan portfolio was 3.5 percent and pro forma coverage on allowance to portfolio loans would then be 1.65 percent.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Our posture is to continue to provide for credit losses that may be inherent in the portfolio.  However, our credit performance over a prolonged period of time makes that increasingly challenging.  Nonetheless, coverage of non-performing loans increased to 283 percent on March 31</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:8pt">st</sup></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">In slide 14, non-interest income for the quarter was $7 million.  Seasonality and tax credits drove the decline from the fourth quarter which is our strongest sales quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The growth in underlying fee businesses combined with $700,000 contributed from JCB, principally in deposit service charges, mitigated that seasonal decline.  Overall, fee income results are solid out of the gate as demonstrated in swap fees and card services businesses.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">I&#8217;ll take you briefly through expenses on slide 15.  These expenses already exclude merger-related items of $1.7 million for the quarter.  High-level roll-forward for this quarter was $21.1 million in Q4 of expenses plus $0.8 million in seasonal payroll taxes for first quarter, gets you to $22 million.  Add to that the JCB expenses for half the quarter of approximately $3 million.  Thus, we reported $25 million of operating </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;&#32;Kemasson Transcription &amp; Data</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;           </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">5</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;             </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">blano@kemasson.com</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">302.521.7954</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">expenses in the first quarter.  The efficiency ratio increased to 56 percent but we&#8217;re still down 1 percent from the prior year even with JCB, which is a positive in my view.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">First quarter results include only a modest amount of run rate cost savings from JCB as we&#8217;ve been running both core systems among other things since closing and we have almost a full second quarter until systems conversion in late May.  Thus, we expect the absolute level of expenses to increase in Q2, including the remaining merger-related charges.  After that during the third and by the fourth quarter, we expect the efficiency ratio to improve as the cost savings are realized in the second half of 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">We will also have a full quarter of JCB revenues and we expect our current quarter results to drive continued revenue expansion.  So a high level efficiency ratio we&#8217;re forecasting at the current level is a reasonable estimate for next quarter with potential for modest improvement due to revenue expansion. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Moving forward in dollars, JCB&#8217;s full quarter expenses are around $6 million combined with our current level.  That&#8217;s $28 million, total.  The synergies are estimated at $2 million per quarter fully phased in.  As we continue to invest in the business, we&#8217;ll have some core expense growth gradually throughout 2017.  I expect expenses by the fourth quarter to be relatively clean, assuming there are no material changes to plans or strategies as it relates to our core business or JCB.  The resulting range for the year is $25 to $28 million on a quarterly basis with the highest level for the second quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">We continue to pursue and build core profits and returns over time.  We will deploy some additional run rate expenses throughout the year but we expect to achieve revenue gains in the near and intermediate term that will continue to leverage the expense base as we&#8217;ve demonstrated consistently over the past year.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Slide 16 illustrates the gradual steps and improvement we have made from focusing on key drivers of profitability and executing our strategy and plan to improve each of them (inaudible).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">It&#8217;s worth noting that our core ROAA of 1.17 percent for the first quarter of 2017 has steadily increased over this period.  We&#8217;re highly focused on driving profitable growth and our achievement of results will continue to expand those earnings and value for our shareholders as we further position EFSC for the future.

Just to clarify, Keene, on the expenses, not to beat a dead horse here but the $25 to $28 million range, it sounds like you expect to be at the higher end next quarter.  Now, is that range inclusive of the $4 to $6 million merger charges that you could incur?</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Keene Turner:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">No, Mike.  Sorry.  That&#8217;s the core, the $4 to $6 is really outside and that&#8217;s kind of the one-time.  So right now we&#8217;re at the $25 basically so that&#8217;s Q1 and then $28 is where we&#8217;re looking broad brush strokes for next quarter and then it improves from there.  </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">So you&#8217;ve got the cost savings coming out and then you&#8217;ve probably got Enterprise legacy or investment in the business combined growth, what you&#8217;ve seen historically, in terms of investments we&#8217;re able to make when we pull people onto the platform and continue to expand in pursue of revenue.  So just linking that back, trending-wise, last year we invested I think $0.16 and an $0.8 run rate and drove $0.50 of core revenue.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">So magnitude may be different this year but that&#8217;s how we think about the business and that&#8217;s how we build our plan.

Going back to the margins for just one minute.  I think, Keene, you said that they were maybe going to reprice here in the short term and then you had the March benefit that would kick in, as well.  Can you just talk a little bit about how you guys are thinking about second quarter for the margin as it relates to both those items and the impact it has?</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Keene Turner:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">I would say this.  I think the first quarter margin performance was even beyond our expectations I think we had a lot of positives on the asset side and the funding side, particularly in the deposits, didn&#8217;t move.  We don&#8217;t necessarily expect that same dynamic.  We&#8217;re thinking margin sequentially is up but it&#8217;s probably more like 5 basis points than the magnitude of what we saw in the first quarter here and you&#8217;re probably going to start to see a little bit more creep on the funding side.  </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">We think that, for a number of reasons, maybe not necessarily the absolute deposit trend but we typically get a little bit seasonally tighter in terms of loan to deposit as we go through the middle of the summer and so just the reliance on wholesale funding would cause a little bit of a challenge for us and then we typically build liquidity back in later in the year to round out the asset growth we get throughout the year.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">That&#8217;s been our cycle for the last three years.

I think the partners we deal with on the EVL side are optimistic and we&#8217;ve expanded our base of partners we&#8217;re working with there.

We&#8217;re seeing even 4 percent, ten-year term from some of the big banks so again, that tends to be buckets.  </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">I think from the smaller banks it&#8217;s a little hit and miss.  They tend to be coupon pricers rather than spread pricers and so when you look at it on a spread basis it&#8217;s probably not consistent with our expectations and that where we&#8217;ve tried to back away and really rely upon the premium risk-based pricing that we get in some of the niche areas, certainly EVL, for example.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:108px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">On C&amp;I I think we&#8217;re holding spreads there.  We&#8217;re pricing on a relationship basis so we will get aggressive for good credit where we can get a broad relationship with deposits and fee-based products.  But I feel good that we&#8217;re still able to compete on that basis with the competition that we see out there.</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Jim Lally:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Peyton, I&#8217;ll add to that that what we do often is we take a maturity list that&#8217;s 18 months into the future and take a look at those credits that we can get ahead of it so it&#8217;s not a competitive bid process at a maturity.  We&#8217;re out there with those clients ahead of time and working on what a solution would be prior to that maturity date.</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Peyton Green:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Okay.

Keene, just a quick follow-up on the margin, and I apologize if you mentioned this already, but I know you talked about how the March raise should benefit the core margin.  I think the rough range that for that was five bps, but the JCB deal, if I remember correctly, was a little diluted to the margin.  It sounded like it closed a little lower than where it was when the deal was announced and now it&#8217;s only the half quarter impact.  If we incorporate both those pieces in enough to offset one another or does the 5 basis points already into consideration some additional drag from the JCB deal?</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Keene Turner:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">That already includes it, Mike.  It&#8217;s a good memory and a good question.  When we announced the deal, the margins were relatively similar.  Ours just bounced a little bit more early in the year as a benefit of the interest rate increase.  But the purchase accounting, a little bit, helped mitigate that impact from JCB.  But the guidance I gave is reflective of what we&#8217;ve already reported and done so that there&#8217;s no additional headwind.  That 5 is inclusive of that dilution, so to speak, from the margin.</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:108px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Mike Perito:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Okay.
