style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">On December 22, 2017, the United States government enacted comprehensive tax legislation, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the &#8220;Tax Act&#8221;).&#160; The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including a reduction in the base corporate tax rate from the prior existing statutory rate, which was 34% for Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company"), to 21%. The Company continues to analyze the Tax Act to determine the full effects of the new law, including a new lower corporate tax rate, on its financial condition and results of operations. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Based on preliminary estimates and current accounting guidance, the Company estimates that the Tax Act will result in a charge against net income of approximately $2.7 million, primarily due to the write down of the Company's net deferred tax assets due to the Tax Act&#8217;s reduction in the base corporate tax rate to 21%. This estimate is based on a preliminary review and analysis of the Company's net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017, as well as expected adjustments to various deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in the fourth quarter, including those accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income. The write down is expected to result in a reduction of net income of approximately $0.32 per diluted share based on estimated fourth quarter weighted average diluted shares of approximately 8.3 million. The actual amount of this adjustment may vary from the estimate. The deferred tax assets related to low-income housing credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards are not impacted by the change in tax rate, as they are treated as payments on future federal income taxes due and are not subject to revaluation at the new Tax Act rate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">While the Tax Act will negatively impact earnings for the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company does not expect it to have a material impact on its regulatory capital ratios or its ability to pay dividends. The lower corporate tax rate is expected to be a significant ongoing benefit that should increase the Company's future capacity to generate capital.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The Company intends to announce its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, on or around January 25, 2018.&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Caution About Forward-Looking Statements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties.
