UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and accompanying notes showing the impact on the historical financial conditions and results of operations of CapStar and Athens have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger under the acquisition method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 is presented as if the Athens merger had occurred on June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated income statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 are presented as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2017. The actual completion date of the merger was October 1, 2018.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the merger and, with respect to the income statement only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations, as such,one-time merger costs are not included.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements and related adjustments required management to make certain assumptions and estimates. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements should be read together with:

• the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements;

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all amounts are in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1—Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma combined income statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 are based on the historical financial statements of CapStar and Athens after giving effect to the completion of the mergers and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Such financial statements do not reflect cost savings or operating synergies expected to result from the mergers, or the costs to achieve these cost savings or operating synergies, or any anticipated disposition of assets that may result from the integration of the operations of the three companies. Certain historical financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The transactions will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). In business combination transactions in which the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form ofnon-cash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, a more reliable measure.

Under ASC 805, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally affect income tax expense. Subsequent to the completion of the merger, CapStar and Athens will finalize an integration plan, which may affect how the assets acquired, including intangible assets, will be utilized by the combined company. For those assets in the combined company that will be phased out or will no longer be used, additional amortization, depreciation and possibly impairment charges will be recorded after management completes the integration plan.

The unaudited pro forma information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company.

Note 2—Preliminary Estimated Acquisition Consideration

Under the terms of the Athens Merger Agreement, Athens shareholders will be entitled to receive 2.864 shares of CapStar common stock for each share of Athens common stock.

Based on Athens’s estimate of shares of Athens common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018, the preliminary estimated acquisition consideration is as follows.

(dollars are in thousands, except per share data)
Total number of common shares as provided by Athens management		1,816,845
Total number of Athens common stock to exchange		1,816,845
Per share exchange ratio		2.864
Number of shares of CapStar common stock as exchanged		5,203,444
Multiplied by CapStar common stock price per share on June 30, 2018	$	18.53
Estimated fair value of CapStar common stock issued (“Stock Consideration”)	$	96,420
Calculated deal price per Athens share	$	53.07
Total number of stock options outstanding as provided by Athens management to exchange		206,263
Stock options outstanding weighted average strike price as provided by Athens management	$	14.26
Intrinsic value per stock option outstanding	$	38.81
Estimated fair value of stock options rolled (“Rolled Stock Options Consideration”)	$	8,005
Stock Consideration	$	96,420
Rolled Stock Options Consideration	$	8,005
Total Preliminary Estimated Acquisition Consideration	$	104,425

Note 3—Preliminary Estimated Acquisition Consideration Allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Athens based on their estimated fair values as of the closing of the merger. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

The allocation of the estimated acquisition consideration with regard to Athens is preliminary because the proposed merger has not yet been completed. The preliminary allocation is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations, and other studies which have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the acquisition consideration allocation unaudited pro forma adjustments will remain preliminary until CapStar management determines the final acquisition consideration and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final determination of the acquisition consideration allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable after the completion of the merger and will be based on the value of the CapStar common stock at the closing of the merger. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements.

6

The total preliminary estimated acquisition consideration as shown in the tables above is allocated to Athens’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018 based on their preliminary estimated fair values as follows.

Cash and cash equivalents	$	33,000
Securitiesavailable-for-sale		69,311
Loans		338,168
Premises and equipment, net		12,323
Goodwill		44,589
Core deposit intangible		6,000
Other assets		21,913
Deposits		(412,269	)
Other liabilities		(8,610	)
Total preliminary estimated acquisition consideration	$	104,425

Approximately $6,000 has been preliminarily allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired. The amortization related to the preliminary fair value of net amortizable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Identifiable intangible assets.The preliminary fair values of intangible assets were determined based on the provisions of ASC 805, which defines fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The preliminary allocation to intangible assets is allocated to core deposit intangibles.

Goodwill.Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated acquisition consideration over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets are the skill sets, operations, customer base and organizational cultures that can be leveraged to enable the combined company to build an enterprise greater than the sum of its parts. In accordance with ASC Topic 350,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made.

Note 4—Preliminary Unaudited Pro Forma and Acquisition Accounting Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position actually would have been had the merger been completed at the date indicated. Such information includes adjustments which are preliminary and may be revised. Such revisions may result in material changes. The financial position shown herein is not necessarily indicative of what the past financial position of the combined companies would have been, nor necessarily indicative of the financial position of the post-merger periods. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give consideration to the impact of possible cost savings, expense efficiencies, synergies, strategy modifications, asset dispositions or other actions that may result from the merger.

The following unaudited pro forma adjustments result from accounting for the merger, including the determination of fair value of the assets, liabilities, and commitments which CapStar, as the acquirer, will acquire from Athens. The descriptions related to these preliminary adjustments are as follows.
