constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“U. S. GAAP”) and general practice within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company has
provided non-GAAP performance results. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful because they allow investors to assess the Company’s operating performance. Although the non-GAAP
financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and
performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
