 Leasing Appendix 25

26 26 Components of our Leasing Business Lease Banking Our lease banking group provides banking services to equipment lessors located throughout the U.S. Debt financing Working capital financing Partners with customers on equity/residual investments in leases Treasury management services Debt financing (Lease Loans) are non-recourse loans to lessors, collateralized by leased equipment and underwritten based on the financial wherewithal of each lessee. Lessees generally consist of investment grade Fortune 1000, large middle-market, and health care companies located throughout the U.S. No residual risk on Lease Loans funded with third parties. Most loans fully amortize over periods ranging from 30 to 60 months. Credit experience has been stellar. Non-performing loans and charge-offs have been minimal for more than 10 years. Lease Loans outstanding totaled $1.5 billion at 9/30/2013. Revenues from Lease Loans and working capital financing are reflected in interest income. 26

27 27 Components of our Leasing Business (Continued) Lease Originations Leases are originated directly through our LaSalle and Celtic subsidiaries ($75 to $100 million per year per company). Leased equipment generally consists of technology-related and material handling equipment. Direct Finance and Leverage Leases are grouped with Lease Loans on the balance sheet. Operating Leases are reflected in the Other Assets section of the balance sheet under the heading Lease Investments, Net. Lessors generally finance much of their equipment cost with debt (85% to 95% of original equipment cost). The amount of debt available is based on the present value of future lease payments discounted at prevailing market interest rates. The portion of the equipment cost not funded with debt represents the equity or residual investment in the lease. Our residual investments in equipment leases totaled $74 million at 9/30/2013. Residual income is accreted over the life of the lease so that at the end of the lease term the accreted residual amount approximates the fair value of the leased equipment. 27

28 28 Lease Originations (continued) Interest income on Direct Finance and Leverage Leases and accreted residual income on Direct Finance and Leverage Leases are included in Interest Income. Lease payments on Operating Leases plus residual income that is accreted on Operating Leases less depreciation on equipment underlying Operating Leases are included in Lease Financing Fee Income. At the end of a lease term the lease may be renewed, extended on a month-to-month basis, or the equipment may be returned and sold. Proceeds received as a result of lease renewals and equipment sales less the residual investment in a lease results in a gain or loss that is reflected in Lease Financing Fee Income. Other leasing related services included in Lease Financing Fee Income We broker maintenance contracts sold by equipment manufacturers to our customers covering equipment leased from MB as well as other equipment owned or leased by our clients. Equipment manufacturers are responsible for completing any maintenance covered by a maintenance contract. Maintenance contract revenue is presented net of the related cost of sales paid to the third party provider. Components of our Leasing Business (Continued) 28

29 29 Interest income includes: Interest income on Lease Loans Interest income on Direct Finance Leases Interest income on Leverage Leases, less related funding cost Residual accretion on Direct Finance and Leverage Leases Lease financing fee income includes: Rental payments on Operating Leases Depreciation expense on Operating Leases Residual accretion on Operating Leases Gains or losses on residuals Interim rent Equipment maintenance contract revenue, less related cost of sales Vendor promotional revenue related to equipment maintenance contracts Income Statement Geography 29

 Non-GAAP Disclosure Appendix 30

Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis; ratio of core non-interest income to total revenue on a fully tax equivalent basis, ratio of net non-interest expense to average assets and ratio of pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings on a fully tax equivalent basis to risk-weighted assets, with net gains on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, net gain on sale of loans held for sale, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, acquisition related gains and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the calculations of the non-interest income, core non-interest income and pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings components of these ratios, and the FDIC special assessment expense, impairment charges, prepayment fees on interest-bearing liabilities, merger related expenses and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of the ratios of net non-interest expense to average assets and pretax, pre-provision operating earnings, on a fully tax equivalent basis to risk-weighted assets with tax equivalent adjustments for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; ratios of tangible common equity to risk weighted assets and tangible common equity to tangible assets; core funding to total funding; and cash return on average tangible common equity (net cash flow available to common stockholders divided by average tangible common equity). Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons. The tax equivalent adjustments to net interest margin, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, non-interest income and total revenue recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that others within the banking industry present these measures on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. For the same reasons, management believes the tax equivalent adjustments for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful. Management believes that pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings are a useful measure in assessing our operating performance, particularly during times of economic stress. In recent periods, our results of operations have been negatively impacted by adverse economic conditions, as seen in our elevated levels of loan charge-offs and provision for credit losses. Management believes that measuring earnings before the impact of the provision for credit losses makes our financial data more comparable between reporting periods so that investors can better understand our operating performance trends. Management also believes that this is a standard figure used in the banking industry to measure performance. Management believes that core and non-core non-interest income and expense are useful in assessing our operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and expense when comparing periods. Management, likewise, believes that presenting the ratio of core funding to total funding is useful in understanding our funding sources when comparing periods. 31

Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations (Continued) Management also believes that by excluding net gains on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, net gain on sale of loans held for sale, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, acquisition related gains and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the other (non-interest) income components and excluding the FDIC special assessment expense, impairment charges, prepayment fees on interest-bearing liabilities, merger related expenses and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the other (non-interest) expense components of the ratios of net non-interest expense to average assets and pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings on a fully tax equivalent basis to risk-weighted assets and, in the case of the income-related items, the ratio of core non-interest income to total revenue on a fully tax equivalent basis, this information better reflects our operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes this information more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period. The ratios of tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefits, in determining tangible assets and tangible common equity. Management believes that the presentation of these measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance. The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
