Potential

KBW Winter Financial Services Symposium

This presentation and the accompanying presentation by management may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current
expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy and Chemical Financial Corporation ("Chemical"). Words and phrases such as "anticipates,"
"believes," “focus,” "continue," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "future," "intends," "is likely," "opinion," "opportunity," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "probable," "projects,"
"should," "strategic," "trend," "will," and variations of such words and phrases or similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements
include, among others, that Chemical is well-positioned to build market share and enhance revenue growth, plans to invest in commercial lending and banking teams, make key
operational staff additions and enhance core operating systems, the strength of our loans pipeline, including expected first quarter loan originations, our focus and expectations around
building shareholder value, including organic revenue growth, and cost discipline and expanding our market presence and product lines. All statements referencing future time periods
are forward-looking. Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses; the carrying value of acquired loans, goodwill and mortgage servicing rights; the fair
value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment); and
management's assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. There can be no assurance that future
loan losses will be limited to the amounts estimated. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. The future effect of changes in the financial and
credit markets and the national and regional economies on the banking industry, generally, and on Chemical, specifically, are also inherently uncertain.
Forward-looking statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ
from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Chemical undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Risk factors including, without limitation:
• Chemical’s ability to attract and retain new commercial lenders and other bankers as well as key operations staff in light of competition for experienced employees in the banking
industry;
• Chemical’s ability to grow its deposits while reducing the number of physical branches that it operates;
• Chemical’s ability to control operational expenses;
• Negative reactions to the branch closures by Chemical Bank’s customers, employees and other counterparties;
• Economic conditions (both generally and in Chemical’s markets) may be less favorable than expected, which could result in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality, a
reduction in demand for credit and a decline in real estate values;
• A general decline in the real estate and lending markets, particularly in Chemical’s market areas, could negatively affect Chemical’s financial results;
• Increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions, or financial losses;
• Restrictions or conditions imposed by Chemical’s or Chemical Bank’s regulators on Chemical’s or Chemical Bank’s operations may make it more difficult for Chemical to
achieve its goals;
• Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards and compliance requirements, may adversely affect Chemical;
• Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins or the volumes or values of the loans Chemical makes or has acquired; and
• Economic, governmental, or other factors may prevent the projected population, residential, and commercial growth in the markets in which Chemical operates.
In addition, risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in Item 1A of Chemical’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or disclosed in documents filed or
furnished by the Company with or to the SEC after the filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and
could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
Forward-Looking Statements

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation and the accompanying presentation by management contain certain non-GAAP financial disclosures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). Such non-GAAP financial measures include Chemical’s tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per share,
presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, operating expenses-core (which excludes merger and restructuring expenses and
impairment of income tax credits), operating expenses-efficiency ratio (which excludes merger and restructuring expenses, impairment of income tax credits and amortization of
intangibles), the adjusted efficiency ratio (which excludes significant items, impairment of income tax credits, loan servicing rights change in fair value gains (losses), amortization of
intangibles, net interest income FTE adjustments, (losses) gains from sale of investment securities and closed branch locations) and other information presented excluding significant
items, including net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity. Chemical uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide
meaningful, supplemental information regarding its operational results and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Chemical’s financial performance. The limitations associated
with non-GAAP financial measures include the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might
calculate these measures differently. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to Chemical’s GAAP results. See the Appendix included with this presentation for a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Prior Quarter Comparison
▪ Higher net interest income in Q4 compared
to Q3, due to organic loan growth and
higher average balance of investment
securities−partially offset by higher average
balances of deposits
▪ Operating expenses decreased primarily due
to decreases in restructuring expenses and
other line items resulting from the
restructuring efforts−partially offset by an
increase in impairment related to federal
housing tax credits
▪ Slight increase in noninterest income
primarily due to increases in net gain on sale
of loans and other mortgage banking
revenue and interest rate swap fee income,
partially offset by losses on sale of
investment securities
▪ Increase in provision for loan losses,
primarily due to net organic loan growth
Prior-Year Quarter Comparison
▪ Increase in net interest income, attributable
to increase in investment securities and
organic growth in total loans during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2017
