Forward - looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of the Company’s management, and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “pl an,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward - looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events. A number of factors, many of which are beyo nd the Company’s ability to control or predict, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the Company’s forw ard - looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following: (i) the strength of the local, state, national, and international economy (including effects of inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints); (ii) the economic impact of an y future terrorist threats or attacks, widespread disease or pandemics (including the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic), or ot her adverse external events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets (including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine); (iii) changes in state and federal laws, regulations, and governmental policies concerning the Company’s general business; (iv) changes in accounting policies and practices; (v) changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Compan y’s assets (including the impact of The London Inter - bank Offered Rate phase - out); (vi) increased competition in the financial services sector and the inability to attract new customers; (vii) changes in technology and the ability to develop and mainta in secure and reliable electronic systems; (viii) the loss of key executives or associates; (ix) changes in consumer spending; ( x) unexpected results of current and/or future acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of an y acquisition and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated; (xi) unexpected outcomes of existing or new litigation involving the Company; and (xii) the economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and blizzards.

| 3 3 Ticker: BUSE Non - GAAP Financial Information This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than GAAP. Management uses these non - GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in analysis of the Company’s performance and in making business decisions, as well as comparison to the Company’s peers. The Company believes the adjusted measures are useful for investors and management to understand the effects of certain non - recurring noninterest items and provide additional perspective on the Company’s performance over time. A reconciliation to what management believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures — specifically, net interest income, total noninterest income, net security gains and losses, and total noninterest expense in the case of pre - provision net revenue, adjusted pre - provision net revenue, pre - provision net revenue to average assets, and adjusted pre - provision net revenue to average assets; net income in the case of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity; net interest income in the case of adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest margin; net interest income , total noninterest income, and total noninterest expense in the case of adjusted noninterest expense, core adjusted expense, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, and adjusted core efficiency ratio; total stockholders’ equity in the case of ta ngi ble book value per common share; total assets and total stockholders’ equity in the case of tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets; portfolio loans in the case of core loans and core loans to portfolio loans; total deposits in the ca se of core deposits and core deposits to total deposits; and portfolio loans and total deposits in the case of core loans to core d epo sits — appears below. These non - GAAP disclosures have inherent limitations and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating results reported in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non - GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Tax effected numbers included in these non - GAAP disclosures are based on estimated statutory rates or effective rates as appropriate.
