UNAUDITED COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following summary presents per share information for Nicolet and Mid-Wisconsin on a historical, pro forma combined and pro forma diluted equivalent basis for the periods and as of the dates indicated below.  The pro forma information gives effect to the merger using the purchase method of accounting.  This information should be read in conjunction with the companies’ historical financial statements and related notes.  The pro forma information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results the companies would have had if the merger had occurred before such periods or the future results that the companies will experience after the merger.
 
The pro forma combined net income per diluted share has been computed based on the diluted average number of outstanding common shares of Nicolet adjusted for 589,159 additional shares issued in connection with the acquisition of Mid-Wisconsin, after assuming certain Mid-Wisconsin shares were converted to $0.5 million of cash under the limited circumstances provided for in the merger agreement and that Nicolet issued 174,016 shares of common stock in the private placement concurrent with the acquisition of Mid-Wisconsin.  The Mid-Wisconsin merger equivalent net income per diluted share is based on the number of shares of Nicolet common stock into which each share of Mid-Wisconsin common stock was converted to at time of the merger.
 
The pro forma combined net book value per share is based upon the pro forma combined equity of Nicolet divided by the pro forma number of outstanding shares of the combined companies.  The Mid-Wisconsin merger equivalent net book value per share is based on the number of shares of Nicolet common stock into which each share of Mid-Wisconsin common stock was converted to at time of the merger.

The foregoing applies the shares of Nicolet common stock issued at a value of $16.50 per share, which was the value assigned to the Nicolet common stock in the merger agreement.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income as of March 31, 2013 have been prepared to reflect the acquisition by Nicolet of Mid-Wisconsin after giving effect to the adjustments described in the notes to the pro forma condensed financial statements.  In the acquisition, Mid-Wisconsin common shareholders received total consideration of 589,159 shares of Nicolet common stock and an aggregate of approximately $0.5 million in cash, adjustments as set forth herein, for an estimated aggregate value of approximately $10.19 million.  The foregoing applies the shares of Nicolet common stock to be issued will have a value of $16.50 per share, which is the per-share value that was assigned to Nicolet common stock in the merger agreement.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, Nicolet has recorded the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities at their fair values on the closing date of the acquisition.  The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been prepared assuming the transaction was consummated on March 31, 2013.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income has been prepared assuming the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2012.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate either the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated before March 31, 2013 or at January 1, 2012, as the case may be, or future results of operations or financial condition.  The selected unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is based upon assumptions and adjustments that Nicolet believes are reasonable.  Only such adjustments as have been noted in the accompanying footnotes have been applied in order to give effect to the proposed transaction.  Such assumptions and adjustments are subject to change as future events materialize and fair value estimates are refined.

These selected unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Mid-Wisconsin’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus contained in Nicolet’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Regis. No. 333-186401) (the “Joint Proxy-Prospectus”), and its unaudited quarterly financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which are attached, respectively, as well as the financial information for Nicolet, including its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 (included in the Joint Proxy-Prospectus) and related notes and its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013, filed May 14, 2013.
