Green Bankshares Reports Record Quarterly Earnings,
                  up 13% to $0.62 Per Diluted Share

   Results of Operations Reflect Both Strong Organic Growth and the
             Recent Completion of the Civitas Acquisition


    GREENEVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2007--Green
Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRNB), the holding company for GreenBank,
today announced record results for the second quarter and first six
months of 2007, highlighted by a 13% year-over-year increase in
quarterly diluted per share earnings to $0.62 over the year-earlier
quarter and an 11% increase in year-to-date diluted per share earnings
to $1.19 over the same period a year ago. The 2007 diluted per share
earnings reflect an increase in weighted average shares outstanding
associated with the Company's May acquisition of Civitas BankGroup.

    Net income for the second quarter increased 29% to $7,086,000
compared with $5,483,000 in the year earlier period. For the first
half of 2007, net income rose by over 20% to $12,702,000 from
$10,579,000 in the same period last year. Operating earnings,
excluding one-time merger expenses of $450,000 incurred during the
second quarter, would have been $7,365,000 or $0.65 per diluted share
for the quarter and $12,981,000 or $1.22 per diluted share for the
first half of 2007, representing increases of 34% and 23%,
respectively, over the comparable periods last year. The Company's
income statement and balance sheet for the second quarter reflected
continued strong organic growth in the Company's business as well as
the positive impact of the Civitas acquisition. Together, these
factors helped push Green Bankshares's total assets to $2.9 billion as
of June 30, 2007, ranking the Company as the second largest financial
institution based in Tennessee.

    Commenting on the second quarter results, Stan Puckett, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with second quarter
operating earnings and the underlying trends that influence future
performance. Credit quality was exceptional with net charge-offs of
only four basis points on a consolidated basis and a mere one basis
point at the bank-only level. Organic loan growth from the first
quarter was a robust 26% on an annualized basis and loan pricing
remained solid in the face of intense competition."

    Puckett added, "The successful conclusion of the Civitas merger
was a milestone event for us, boosting our presence significantly in
Middle Tennessee and strengthening our footprint across the state.
Importantly, the integration work behind the merger went smoothly and
efficiently, much to the credit of our new associates in the 12 former
Cumberland Bank branches, enabling these new locations for GreenBank
to add immediately to our operating momentum. Our expanded service
platform will enhance our ability to reach new customers and deliver
the solutions to meet their financial needs. All systems, technology
and operating policies at both banks have been fully integrated since
May 18."

    Puckett pointed out that the Company added $723,868,000 to its
loan portfolio in the second quarter, representing an increase of 45%
over the first quarter of 2007, with approximately 86% of this amount
related to the Civitas acquisition. Over the past year, the Company's
loan portfolio has increased 62% to $2,327,149,000. "Margins remain a
challenge in this environment, especially considering some high-cost
deposits acquired in the Civitas transaction, but we expect scheduled
maturities on these accounts over the near term will help manage this
challenge," Puckett said.

    Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 1.21% in the second quarter of
2007 versus 1.26% in the first quarter of 2007 and 1.34% in the second
quarter of 2006. Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 11.25% in the
second quarter of 2007 compared with 11.93% in the first quarter of
2007 and 12.43% in the second quarter of 2006. Return on Average
Tangible Equity (ROTE) (average shareholders' equity less goodwill and
intangible assets) was 17.92% in the second quarter of 2007 versus
14.99% in the first quarter of 2007 and 15.99% in the year-earlier
quarter.

    Net interest income for the second quarter increased 29% to
$22,933,000 from $17,773,000 in the year-earlier period, driven by a
38% or $535,000,000 quarter-over-quarter increase in average loans
outstanding, of which approximately $225,000,000 related to the
Company's May acquisition of Civitas, with the remainder reflecting
organic growth. Net interest income for the first six months of 2007
increased 19% to $41,754,000 from $34,959,000 in the year-earlier
period. The quarter's provision for loan losses rose 1% to $1,259,000
from $1,244,000 in the second quarter of last year, underscoring the
continued improvements in asset quality witnessed by the Company. For
the first half of 2007, the provision for loan losses declined 3% to
$2,233,000 from $2,308,000 in the same period last year.

    Net interest margin declined 33 basis points on a linked-quarter
basis to 4.37% in the second quarter of 2007 while, on a
year-over-year basis, net interest margin declined 44 basis points
from 4.81% in the second quarter of 2006. This margin compression
primarily reflected the impact of higher-cost funding associated with
deposits acquired in the Civitas transaction as well as the ongoing
challenges of the current interest rate environment. Net interest
margin for the first half of 2007 was 4.51%, down 30 basis points from
the same period in 2006.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter was $6,483,000, up 29%
from $5,028,000 in the second quarter last year. For the first six
months of 2007, non-interest income rose 21% to $11,882,000 from
$9,783,000 in the comparable period of 2006.

    Non-interest expenses totaled $16,709,000 in the second quarter,
including one-time merger expenses of $450,000, up 32% from
$12,679,000 in the same period a year ago. The Company's efficiency
ratio was 56.80% in the second quarter compared with 57.98% in the
first quarter of 2007 and was up from 55.61% in the second quarter of
2006 due to ongoing expansion initiatives since mid-2006. Non-interest
expenses increased 21% to $30,751,000 in the first half of 2007 from
$25,385,000 in the same period a year ago. The Company's efficiency
ratio for the first half of 2007 was 57.33% versus 56.74% in the first
six months of 2006.

    Puckett concluded, "GreenBank's commitment to being 'Tennessee's
Most Convenient Bank' continues to resonate in our markets as
evidenced by a net gain of 3,216 checking account customers during the
second quarter, excluding the Civitas purchase. We will introduce our
High Performance Checking program as well as extended hours, including
Sunday banking, at the former Cumberland Bank branches in September.
As always, expense management remains a priority throughout the
Company."
