These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and by their nature involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on the information available to management at the time that these disclosures were prepared. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider all of the following uncertainties and risks, as well as those more fully discussed in any of Park Sterling's filings with the SEC: failure of Community Capital's shareholders to approve the merger; failure to realize synergies and other financial benefits from the proposed merger within the expected time frame; increases in expected costs or difficulties related to integration of the Community Capital merger; inability to identify and successfully negotiate and complete additional combinations with potential merger partners or to successfully integrate such businesses into Park Sterling, including the company's ability to realize the benefits and cost savings from and limit any unexpected liabilities acquired as a result of any such business combination; the effects of negative economic conditions, including stress in the commercial real estate markets or delay or failure of recovery in the residential real estate markets; changes in consumer and investor confidence and the related impact on financial markets and institutions; changes in interest rates; failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of our allowance; deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of securities held in our investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased competition from both banks and nonbanks; changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations, inaccurate estimates or assumptions in accounting and the impact on Park Sterling's financial statements; Park Sterling's ability to attract new employees; and management's ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational risk, legal risk, and regulatory and compliance risk.

21 Appendix: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (1) (Unaudited; $ in thousands) (1) Tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value and related ratios, as used throughout this presentation, are non-GAAP financial measures. "Tangible assets" equals period end total assets less intangible assets. "Tangible common equity" equals period end common shareholders' equity less intangible assets. "Tangible book value per share" equals period end tangible common equity divided by period end dilutive common shares issued and outstanding. Special Note As contemplated during equity raise, Park Sterling awarded certain performance-based restricted shares to officers and directors following formation of bank holding companyThese 568,260 shares vest one-third each when stock price per share reaches the following performance thresholds for 30 consecutive trading days125% of offer price ($8.13)140% of offer price ($9.10)160% of offer price ($10.40)These anti-dilutive restricted shares are issued (and thereby have voting rights), but are not included in EPS or TBV per share calculations until they vest (and thereby have economic rights)
