BB&T AND MASON-DIXON BANCSHARES, INC. WESTMINSTER, MARYLAND EXPANDING A GREAT FRANCHISE ANALYST PRESENTATION JANUARY 28, 1999 FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION BB&T has made forward-looking statements in the accompanying analyst presentation materials that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BB&T, and on the information available to management at the time the analyst presentation materials were prepared. In particular, the analyst materials in this report include statements regarding estimated earnings per share of BB&T on a stand alone basis, expected cost savings from the merger, estimated restructuring charges relating to the merger, estimated increases in Mason-Dixon's fee income ratio, the anticipated accretive effect of the merger, and BB&T's anticipated performance in future periods. With respect to estimated cost savings and restructuring charges, BB&T has made assumptions about, among other things, the extent of operational overlap between BB&T and Mason-Dixon, the amount of general and administrative expense consolidation, costs relating to converting Mason-Dixon bank operations and data processing to BB&T's systems, the size of anticipated reductions in fixed labor costs, the amount of severance expenses, the extent of the charges that may be necessary to align the companies' respective accounting reserve policies, and the cost related to the merger. The realization of cost savings and the amount of restructuring charges are subject to the risk that the foregoing assumptions are inaccurate. Any statements in the accompanying exhibit regarding the anticipated accretive effect of the merger and BB&T's anticipated performance in future periods are subject to risks relating to, among other things, the following possibilities: (1) expected cost savings from this merger or other previously announced mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (2) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue loss following proposed mergers may be greater than expected; (3) competitive pressure among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners, including Mason-Dixon, may be greater than expected; (5) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins; (6) general economic or business conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality, or a reduced demand for credit; (7) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T and Mason-Dixon are engaged; (8) adverse changes may occur in the securities markets; and (9) competitors of BB&T and Mason-Dixon may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than BB&T and Mason-Dixon. BB&T believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Such statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The future results and shareholder values of BB&T following completion of the merger may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond management's ability to control or predict. 2 OUTLINE o BACKGROUND AND TRANSACTION TERMS o FINANCIAL DATA o RATIONALE AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES o INVESTMENT CRITERIA o SUMMARY 3 BB&T Corporation (BBT) o $37.0 billion bank holding company* o 597 branch locations in NC, SC, VA, MD and the District of Columbia* FOR THE YEAR ENDED 12/31/98** ---------- o ROA 1.58% o Cash Basis ROA 1.67% o ROE 20.16% o Cash Basis ROE 23.70% o Efficiency ratio 51.57% *Includes the pending acquisitions of Scott & Stringfellow Financial, Inc., MainStreet Financial Corporation and First Citizens Corporation **Excludes nonrecurring items 4 MASON-DIXON BANCSHARES, INC.
