Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (“Huntington”) and its subsidiaries and FirstMerit Corporation (“FirstMerit”) and its subsidiaries, after giving effect to the acquisition by Huntington of FirstMerit using the acquisition method of accounting and giving effect to the related pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of FirstMerit will be recorded by Huntington at their respective fair values as of the date the merger is completed. The pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with Huntington’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and FirstMerit’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the merger as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2016. The pro forma condensed combined income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, give effect to the merger as if the transaction had become effective on January 1, 2015.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor the impact of possible business model changes. The pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the merger.

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the following:

 

    the acquisition of FirstMerit by Huntington;

 

    the distribution of shares of Huntington common stock and cash to FirstMerit’s shareholders in exchange for shares of FirstMerit common stock (assuming an exchange ratio of 1.72 shares of Huntington common stock for each share of FirstMerit common stock); and

 

    Huntington’s issuance of $500 million of debt at a 2.85% interest rate to finance the acquisition of FirstMerit. The interest rate was estimated based on a July 2016 five-year treasury rate and the spread of Huntington’s last five-year debt issuance. In the event the interest rates on Huntington’s fixed rate debt increase or decrease by 0.125%, Huntington’s annual interest expense would increase or decrease by less than $1 million.

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include certain non-recurring transaction costs that Huntington expects to incur in connection with the acquisition. Excluded are one-time expenditures estimated at $286 million pretax related to employee costs, costs to sell certain redundant locations, costs to merge information technology systems, and other one-time transaction related costs. Huntington expects to fund these costs through cash from operations. Due to the scope and complexity of these activities, the amount of these costs could increase or decrease materially and the timing of incurrence could change.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger involving Huntington and FirstMerit under the acquisition method of accounting with Huntington treated as the acquirer. The pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor does it necessarily indicate the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of FirstMerit, as of the effective date of the merger, will be recorded by Huntington at their respective fair values and the excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of FirstMerit’s net assets will be allocated to goodwill.

The merger, which is currently expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016, provides for FirstMerit common shareholders to receive 1.72 shares of Huntington common stock and $5.00 in cash for each share of FirstMerit common stock they hold immediately prior to the merger. Based on the closing trading price of shares of Huntington common stock on the NASDAQ on January 25, 2016, the last trading day before the public announcement of the signing of the merger agreement, the value of the merger consideration per share of FirstMerit common stock was $20.14. Based on the closing trading price of shares of Huntington common stock on the NASDAQ on July 26, 2016, the last practicable trading day before the date of this filing on Form 8-K, the value of the merger consideration per share of FirstMerit common stock was $21.19. In addition, upon completion of the second step merger, as described in Huntington’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2016, each share of FirstMerit’s 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A will be converted into the right to receive a share of Huntington’s 5.875% Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.

The pro forma allocation of the purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded at the time the merger is completed. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) FirstMerit’s balance sheet through the effective time of the merger; (ii) the aggregate value of merger consideration paid if the price of shares of Huntington common stock varies from the assumed $9.41 per share, which represents the closing share price of Huntington common stock on July 26, 2016; (iii) total merger related expenses if consummation and/or implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; and (iv) the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market conditions differ from current assumptions.

The accounting policies of both Huntington and FirstMerit are in the process of being reviewed in detail. Upon completion of such review, conforming adjustments or financial statement reclassification may be determined.

Note 2 - Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The pro forma adjustments include the estimated purchase accounting entries to record the merger transaction. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, net of deferred taxes, is allocated to goodwill. Estimated fair value adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Core deposit intangible assets of $350 million are included in the pro forma adjustments separate from goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over ten years. Purchased credit card relationship and Trust relationship intangible assets of $15 and $40 million are also included in the pro forma adjustments separate from goodwill and amortized using the sum-of-the-years-digits method over eight and twelve years, respectively. When the actual amortization is recorded for periods following the completion of the merger, the straight line or sum-of-the-years-digits method will be used. Goodwill totaling $1.2 billion is included in the pro forma adjustments and is not subject to amortization. The purchase price is contingent on Huntington’s price per common share at the closing date of the merger, which has not yet occurred. Accordingly, a 10% increase or decrease in Huntington’s most recently used price per share of common stock would result in a corresponding goodwill adjustment of approximately $269 million.


The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

Note 3 - Pro Forma Adjustments

The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information. All taxable adjustments were calculated using a 35.0% tax rate to arrive at deferred tax asset or liability adjustments. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change.

 

  A. Adjustments to cash and due from banks reflects $831 million paid to purchase FirstMerit, net proceeds from the $500 million debt issuance, and contractually obligated pre-tax merger costs of $123 million.

The adjustment also reflects $615 million of cash paid to First Commonwealth Bank related to the branch divestiture, offset by an increase in short-term borrowings of $615 million to fund the divestiture. See Note 5 for more information.

 

  B. Adjustment to securities classified as held-to-maturity to reflect estimated fair value.

 

  C. Adjustment to loans and leases to reflect estimated fair value adjustments, which included lifetime credit loss expectations, current interest rates and liquidity, to acquired loans. The adjustment also includes a $115 million reduction associated with the branch divestiture. See Note 5 for more information.

 

  D. Elimination of FirstMerit’s existing allowance for loan losses. Purchased loans in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on the purchase date and the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses is prohibited.

 

  E. Adjustment to bank owned life insurance to reflect a balance sheet reclassification from accrued income and other assets of $632 million to conform to Huntington’s financial statement presentation and an adjustment to reflect the estimated fair value.

 

  F. Adjustment to premises and equipment to reflect estimated fair value. Adjustments also include the elimination of $5 million of property, plant, and equipment associated with the branch divestiture. See Note 5 for more information.

 

  G. Adjustments to goodwill to eliminate FirstMerit goodwill of $742 million at merger date and record estimated goodwill associated with the merger of $1.2 billion.

 

  H. Adjustments to other intangible assets to eliminate FirstMerit other intangible assets of $56 million and record estimated other intangible assets associated with the merger of $405 million, which includes estimated core deposit intangible assets of $350 million.

 

  I. Reflects a balance sheet reclassification from accrued income and other assets of $16 million to conform to Huntington’s financial statement presentation and an adjustment to reflect estimated fair value.

 

  J. Adjustment to accrued income and other assets to reflect estimated fair value and deferred tax assets to reflect the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments and contractually obligated merger costs.

 

  K. Adjustment to deposits to reflect estimated fair value. Adjustments to deposits also include the elimination of $735 million of deposits associated with the branch divestiture. See Note 5 for more information.

 

  L. Adjustment to long-term debt to reflect estimated fair value of acquired long-term debt and the $500 million of debt issued in connection with the transaction.

 

  M. Adjustment to accrued expenses and other liabilities to reflect the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments and contractually obligated merger costs.

 

  N. Adjustments to common shares to eliminate FirstMerit common stock of $128 million par value and record the issuance of Huntington common stock to FirstMerit common shareholders of $3 million par value.


  O. Adjustments to capital surplus to eliminate FirstMerit capital surplus of $1.3 billion and record the issuance of Huntington common stock in excess of par value to FirstMerit common shareholders of $2.7 billion.

 

  P. Adjustments to eliminate remaining FirstMerit equity balances of $1.4 billion.

 

  Q. Adjustment to retained earnings to reflect contractually obligated after-tax merger costs of $94 million.

 

  R. Adjustments to common shares outstanding to eliminate 166,169,002 shares of FirstMerit common stock outstanding and record 285,810,683 shares of Huntington common stock of calculated using the exchange ratio of 1.72 per share.

 

  S. Net adjustments to interest income of $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, to eliminate FirstMerit amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on previously acquired loans and securities and record estimated amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on acquired loans and held-to-maturity securities. Adjustments also include the elimination of interest income associated with the branch divestiture. See Note 5 for more information.

 

  T. Net adjustments to reduce interest expense by $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, to eliminate FirstMerit amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on previously acquired deposits and record estimated amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on acquired deposits and long-term debt.

Note 4 - Merger Integration Costs

Merger- and integration-related costs are not included in the pro forma condensed combined statements of income since they will be recorded in the combined results of income as they are incurred prior to, or after completion of, the merger and are not indicative of what the historical results of the combined company would have been had the companies been actually combined during the periods presented. Merger- and integration-related costs are estimated to be $431 million pretax; $145 million is estimated to be incurred at closing. The $145 million of contractually obligated pre-tax merger costs are reflected in the pro forma adjustments as a $123 million reduction to cash and due from banks (reference A) and a $22 million increase to accrued expenses and other liabilities (reference M).
