Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On November 10, 2016, Equity Bancshares, Inc. (“Equity”) acquired Community First Bancshares, Inc. (“Community”) pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated July 14, 2016 (the “Agreement”), by and between Equity and Community. Pursuant to the Agreement, Community merged with and into Equity (the “merger”), with Equity surviving the merger. The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Balance Sheet reflects the historical position of Equity and Community as of September 30, 2016, with pro forma adjustments based on the assumption that the merger was completed on September 30, 2016. The pro forma adjustments are based on the acquisition method of accounting. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Statements of Income assume that the merger was completed on January 1, 2015. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the merger and, with respect to the income statements only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations. The pro forma adjustments do not consider any potential revenue opportunities or anticipated cost savings and expense efficiencies.

The following information should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by Equity’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Community.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information is intended for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or future operating results of the combined company or of the financial position or operating results of the combined company that would have actually occurred had the merger been in effect as of the date or for the periods presented.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations which are subject to change.

 

  (a) This adjustment includes the cash portion of the merger consideration of $9.7 million; pre-tax direct-incremental merger and stock issuance costs of $5.6 million ($3.9 million, after-tax) in addition to the merger expenses recognized at September 30, 2016; proceeds of $6.0 million from Equity’s draw against its borrowing facility; and Equity’s repayment of Community’s bank stock loan of $8.7 million.

 

  (b) The carrying values of Community’s investment securities, which are substantially all available-for-sale, equal the fair values of the acquired investment securities.
