(1) Cash drag refers to the adverse impact on the net interest margin due to the total balance of cash held in interest-bearing accounts. Assumptions used to compute the cash drag include
investing the cash at a rate of 4.5%, similar to the rate achieved on recent loan production. Liquidity targets and loan demand are factors that may prevent fully deploying such cash; the cash
drag is shown for illustrative purposes only.

*Assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve; key assumptions include a slow and a fast deposit repricing response (i.e. if deposit rates are slow to increase Zions expects a 9.4% increase in
interest sensitive income, and if deposits were to reprice quickly Zions expects a 6.2% increase in interest sensitive income); sensitivity analysis based on September 2011 data. Also
assumes $6.4 billion of DDA and interest-on-checking deposits are replaced with market rate funds.

assumes $6.4 billion of DDA and interest-on-checking deposits are replaced with market rate funds.
Due to the extinguishment/ reissuance of subordinated debt in June 2009, Zions experiences non-cash discount accretion, which increases interest expense, reducing GAAP NIM

Drivers of Core Net Interest Margin
Drivers of Core NIM Stability / Expansion | Drivers of NIM Contraction |
§ Reduce deposit cost by product | § Modest Loan Yield Compression – Recent compression primarily driven by: • more competitive loan pricing and • reduced presence of loan floors – Recent yield compression has been approximately 5 bps per quarter |
§ Emphasize deposit mix shift to DDA away from CDs | |
§ De minimus exposure to securities with refinancing risk (e.g. MBS) | |
§ Modest loan growth – Each $100 million of loan growth equals ~ 1 bp expansion of NIM | |
§ Asset quality improvement | |
§ Lesser amounts of expensive sub debt if/as conversions (to preferred stock) occur | § Surplus flow of deposits rolling into cash – Slightly positive for net interest income, but dilutive to the core NIM |

Core net income excludes items that are one time or non-recurring in nature. 2Q09 - 4Q09 included material gains from loan portfolio related interest rate swaps. Swaps are used to
manage interest rate risk and were generally added near the peak in the rate cycle. As hedges became ineffective, gains were realized.
