Industry & CHCO are Optimistic in 2018: – Lower Tax rates driving earnings and creating capital for deployment in acquisitions, dividends or share repurchases – Higher interest rates increase NIM’s – Less Regulatory Burden • allows more focus on customer needs • City Benefits from stable regulation – Asset quality continues to improve with economy – West Virginia’s economy seems stabilized and has potential to experience growth – City demonstrated that we can grow in slow growth markets • Big banks don’t care about these markets • STI shuttered all WV branches 36

Acquisition philosophy: • Opportunities have increased • Actively looking, but for the best partners • Size: Generally $100MM to $1B • Historically less acquisitive than peers because City’s strategy is driven by creating shareholder value not by size • Acquisitions must truly be strategic or meaningfully accretive • Taking into consideration Geography, Households, Fees, Market Share, Loans, and Talent 37

Tortoise vs. Hare • Tortoise Markets – Slow Growth Markets – Less Competitive – More Profitable – Better Dividends & Share Repurchase – No reason that Tortoise Markets can’t have at least the same Total Shareholder Return • Hare Markets – Faster Growth – More Competitive – Requires Capital to Feed Growth 38

Acquisition territory: But – Requires Willing Sellers…See slides which follow! 39
