ucbi.com | 35 Mergers & Acquisitions Strategy ► M&A accelerates our growth strategy in new and existing markets and can be accomplished more efficiently than with a de novo plan; we seek to pair M&A with organic growth opportunities, including adding teams of local bankers to quickly increase growth. ► We are interested in pursuing transactions in our target markets including: • Coastal South Carolina – Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head; • East Tennessee – Knoxville to Chattanooga and Cleveland; • Atlanta – Northern region; and • North Carolina – Western (Asheville area) to Eastern (Raleigh/Cary area). ► While larger transformational deals are not out of the question, we have decided to focus on roll - up targets, as we believe there are more actionable opportunities with a shorter time to complete and less risk. ► We carefully evaluate and price potential acquisitions with specific financial return targets in mind, including: • Year one EPS accretion, not including transaction expenses; • TBV dilution threshold in the low single digits and earnback within three years; and • IRR of 20 %+. ucbi.com | 35 Generating Growth
