UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DATA
The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and explanatory notes are based upon the assumption that the First Mariner preferred stock is converted into First Mariner common stock immediately preceding the merger, and that the resulting total number of shares of First Mariner common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger will be 5,500,018 and utilizes the exchange ratio of 166.24% of outstanding shares of First Mariner common stock, which will result in 9,143,230 shares of Howard common stock being issued in the transaction.
The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2017 combine the historical consolidated financial statements of Howard and First Mariner. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements give effect to the proposed merger as if the merger occurred on June 30, 2017 with respect to the consolidated balance sheet, and at the beginning of the period, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, with respect to the consolidated statements of operations.
The notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements describe the pro forma amounts and adjustments presented below. THIS PRO FORMA DATA IS PRESENTED FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT INDICATE THE FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS THAT HOWARD WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED HAD IT COMPLETED THE MERGER AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD PRESENTED AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS REPRESENTATIVE OF FUTURE OPERATIONS OR THE FUTURE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE COMBINED ENTITIES.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The acquisition will be effected by the issuance of shares of Howard common stock to First Mariner’s common stockholders. The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information assumes that all of the outstanding shares of First Mariner common stock will be exchanged for Howard common stock at an exchange ratio of 1.6624 shares of Howard common stock for each share of First Mariner common stock, and that all outstanding stock options and warrants of First Mariner will be exchanged for cash consideration totaling approximately $9.2 million.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is based upon the assumption that the total number of shares of First Mariner common stock immediately outstanding prior to the completion of the merger will be 5,500,018 and each outstanding share of First Mariner common stock will be exchanged for 1.6624 shares of Howard common stock. This will result in the issuance of 9,143,230 shares of Howard common stock with an estimated fair value of $178.8 million, for a total estimated purchase price of $188.0 million when aggregating the stock and cash consideration. While the final exchange ratio has been established, the total purchase price will be based upon the market value of Howard’s per share market value established in accordance with the merger agreement. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and additional analyses are performed to determine the fair values of First Mariner’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the merger is completed. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been prepared to include the estimated adjustments necessary to record the assets and liabilities of First Mariner at their respective fair values and represents management’s best estimate based upon the information available at this time. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Such adjustments, when compared to the information shown in this document, may change the amount of the purchase price allocation to goodwill while changes to other assets and liabilities may impact the statement of operations due to adjustments in the yield and/or amortization/accretion of the adjusted assets and liabilities.
The total estimated purchase price for the purpose of this unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is $188.0 million. Goodwill is created when the purchase price consideration exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired or a bargain purchase gain results when the current fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price consideration. For purposes of this analysis as of June 30, 2017, goodwill of $70.7 million results from the transaction; however, the final purchase accounting analysis will be performed as of the merger date and these amounts are subject to change based on operations subsequent to June 30, 2017 as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Following Note 4 below is a table that provides the calculation and allocation of the purchase price used in the pro forma financial statements and a reconcilement of pro forma shares to be outstanding.
Note 2. Merger and Acquisition Integration Costs
The branch operations, commercial lending activities, mortgage banking operations, along with all other operations of First Mariner will be integrated into Howard. The operations integration and the systems conversion are scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.
The specific details of the plan to integrate the operations of First Mariner will continue to be refined over the next several months, and will include assessing personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment and service contracts to determine where we may take advantage of redundancies. Certain decisions arising from these assessments may involve involuntary termination of employees, vacating leased premises, changing information systems, canceling contracts with certain service providers, and selling or otherwise disposing of certain premises, furniture and equipment. Howard also expects to incur merger-related costs including professional fees, legal fees, system conversion costs and costs related to communications with customers and others. To the extent there are costs associated with these actions, the costs will be recorded based on the nature of the cost and the timing of these integration actions.

Note 3. Estimated Annual Cost Savings
Howard expects to realize cost savings and may generate revenue enhancements from the First Mariner acquisition. Total estimated cost savings for First Mariner are estimated at 37% of non-interest expense, with 85% of these savings expected to occur for the year ended December 31, 2018. These cost savings and any potential revenue enhancements are not reflected in the pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements and there can be no assurance they will be achieved in the amount or manner currently contemplated.
Note 4. Pro Forma Adjustments
(A)
Adjustment to reflect the conversion of First Mariner’s preferred stock into common stock immediately preceding the merger.
(B)
Adjustment of $9.2 million to cash consideration paid to First Mariner stock option holders and warrant holders, and the total anticipated after tax merger related costs borne by both Howard and First Mariner totaling $14.1 million.
(C)
A fair value discount of $14.5 million to reflect the credit risk of the loan portfolio, net of any adjustment to reflect fair values of loans based on current interest rates of similar loans. The adjustment will be substantially recognized over approximately 10 years using an amortization method based upon the expected life of the loans and is expected to increase pro forma pre-tax interest income by $2.6 million in the first year and $1.3 million for the first six months following consummation of the merger.
(D)
Reversal of the First Mariner allowance for loan losses of $3.9 million in accordance with acquisition method of accounting for the merger.
(E)
Adjustment to record the core deposit intangible associated with the merger of $6.4 million, net of the elimination of the core deposit intangible of First Mariner. The fair value of this asset and the related amortization using an expected life of 7 years. The amortization of the core deposit intangible is expected to increase pro forma pre-tax noninterest expense by $702,000 in the first year and $397,000 for the first six months following consummation of the merger.
(F)
An adjustment to reflect the resulting goodwill of $70.7 million created on the books of Howard as a result of this acquisition. As noted above, goodwill is created when the purchase price consideration exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired or a bargain purchase gain results when the current fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price consideration.
(G)
A fair value discount of $800,000 to reflect the fair value of Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) held by First Mariner.
(H)
An adjustment to reflect the estimated amount of Deferred Tax Assets (“DTA’s”) generated in the merger. First Mariner DTA’s were reduced by a valuation allowance given the uncertainty of their ability to utilize cumulative net operating losses to offset future taxable earnings. It is anticipated that as a result of the merger, the DTA’s of the combined organization will not require a valuation allowance, resulting in a higher level of DTA’s for the pro forma combined organization.
(I)
A fair value discount of $797,000 to reflect the fair values of certain interest-bearing deposits based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized using an amortization method based upon the estimated maturities of the deposit liabilities. This adjustment is expected to decrease pro forma pre-tax interest expense by $266,000 in the first year and $133,000 for the first six months following consummation of the merger.
(J)
A fair value premium of $58,000 to reflect the fair values of long-term borrowings based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized using an amortization method based upon the estimated maturities of the borrowings. This adjustment is expected to increase pro forma pre-tax interest expense by $19,000 in the first year and $10,000 for the first six months following consummation of the merger.
6
(K)
An adjustment to establish a litigation reserve resulting from unsettled mortgage banking lawsuits that have been filed against First Mariner.
(L)
An adjustment to reflect the after tax impact of estimated merger related costs borne by Howard in the Merger. Howard’s estimated transaction costs related to the merger are approximately $5.9 million ($4.3 million net of tax). This cost is included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet. These estimated transaction costs are currently being developed and will continue to be refined over the next several months, and will include assessing personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment and service contracts to determine where operating redundancies between the two organizations can be reduced or eliminated. These costs will be recorded as non-interest expense as incurred. The pro forma presentation of the Howard merger related charges is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):

(M)
An adjustment to reflect the fair value of bank premises and equipment cannot be estimated at this time. We do anticipate that upon receipt of real estate appraisals and other valuation measures, that there will be an adjustment to record bank premises and equipment at fair value when the merger is completed.
