Capital Management Priorities

1) Funding Organic Growth

• Focus remains on funding organic loan growth across the footprint

• Supporting business growth initiatives and ongoing capital investments

2) Paying a Competitive Dividend

• Increased quarterly dividend to $0.08/share in fourth quarter

– 60% higher dividend than previous $0.05/share

3) Non-organic Growth Opportunities

• Continue to examine options for acquisitions while maintaining discipline in pricing of any transaction

• Branch consolidation transactions with cost take-out opportunities provide greater value in current environment

• Focused on transactions with lower tangible book value dilution and shorter-term earn back period

4) Buybacks and Redemptions

• Announced $125 mm share repurchase program to strategically return capital to shareholders

– Repurchased $60 mm under the program during Q4 2012 and Q1 2013

Repurchased $30 mm during May 2013
