 Completed Recapitalization  On September 8, 2016, TCC announced the sale of $52.0 million of common and preferred stock at $4.75 per common share and $475.00 per preferred share to three highly regarded bank investorsThe use of proceeds is primarily to repay Principal and Past Due Interest on TCC Debt (extended deferral would lead to default on these obligations) Each investor agreed that they would hold no more than 9.9% of Trinity’s voting securities  11 

 Completed Recapitalization (Cont.)   Repaying TARP now saves about $3.4 million in interest per year* (these interest payments are not tax-deductible)Consistent with regulatory order requirements, upstream of $15 million dividend from LANB to TCC as part of our Capital Plan FDIC insurance premiums have decreased $2.1 million annuallyImproves TCC’s tangible equity to tangible assetsSignificantly improves TCC’s tangible common equity to tangible assets  *Does not account for the compounding of deferred interest, unaudited  12 

 Importance of Exiting TARP  Very few banks still have TARP outstanding and there is a negative stigma in being associated with such companies:  The impact of compounding deferred dividends leads to an ever-increasing burden on earnings:  *Of 93 banks with TARP still outstanding, only nine have assets in excess of $1 billion.  If not redeemed, accrued TARP dividends would have now equaled almost $4.7 million in 2017.  13
