Forward Looking Statements Information in this presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including without limitation, reduced earnings due to larger than expected credit losses in the sectors of our loan portfolio secured by real estate due to economic factors, including declining real estate values, increasing interest rates, increasing unemployment, or changes in payment behavior or other factors; reduced earnings due to larger credit losses because our loans are concentrated by loan type, industry segment, borrower type, or location of the borrower or collateral; the rate of delinquencies and amount of loans charged-off; the adequacy of the level of our allowance for loan losses and the amount of loan loss provisions required in future periods; costs or difficulties related to the integration of the banks we acquired or may acquire may be greater than expected; results of examinations by our regulatory authorities, including the possibility that the regulatory authorities may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or writedown assets; the amount of our loan portfolio collateralized by real estate, and the weakness in the commercial real estate market; our ability to maintain appropriate levels of capital; adverse changes in asset quality and resulting credit risk-related losses and expenses; increased funding costs due to market illiquidity, increased competition for funding, and increased regulatory requirements with regard to funding; significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking and financial services industries; changes in political conditions or the legislative or regulatory environment, including the effect of recent financial reform legislation on the banking industry; general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally and especially in our primary service area, becoming less favorable than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; our ability to retain our existing customers, including our deposit relationships; changes occurring in business conditions and inflation; changes in monetary and tax policies; ability of borrowers to repay loans; risks associated with a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other service providers or other third parties, including as a result of cyber attacks, which could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in the assessment of whether a deferred tax valuation allowance is necessary; our reliance on secondary sources such as FHLB advances, sales of securities and loans, federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and out-of-market time deposits, to meet our liquidity needs; loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions resulting from terrorist activities or other military actions; and changes in the securities markets.

Analysts Remain Bullish Post 2Q15 Earnings Release 21 YDKN Pruning Branch Network as Promised; Reiterating OUTPERFORM Rating; Stock Remains One of Our Top Ideas Kevin Fitzsimmons; Hovde Group LLC “No change to our OUTPERFORM rating; YDKN remains one of our Top Ideas: We reiterate our OUTPERFORM rating and continue to view YDKN as one of our Top Ideas. We are also nudging our PT higher by $0.50 (to $23.50)… The stock is up only modestly so far in 2015 (up 4.2%) – below the double-digit percentage moves seen from several other names – and trades at a P/E over a full multiple point below the peer median (13.0x vs. 14.1x on 2015 EPS). We suspect that this multiple disparity will shrink as YDKN puts the mid-2014 MOE further in the rear-view mirror – putting more of a spotlight on its higher, noise-free earnings run-rate and several positives to the story.” YDKN: Raising Target Price - Operating Leverage Building, Could See EPS Upside William J. Wallace IV; Raymond James “Recommendation: We are reiterating our Strong Buy rating on YDKN and raising our target price to $26 from $23 following 2Q15 results that met expectations… Ultimately, we believe valuation appears attractive, especially should our EPS estimates prove conservative” Source: Research reports 2Q15 First Look – Raising Estimates after 2Q Results and Conf. Call Stephen Scouten, CFA; Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP “We are increasing our forward estimates to $1.51/$1.62 (from $1.47/$1.57) on the qtr beat as well as higher fee estimates and a better core NIM moving forward. We think that new loan yields will continue to come in nearer to portfolio yields and that with the swaps that the bank has in place on the funding side, that its funding costs will hold in better than peers…We will also see the benefit of the branch closures/sales fully-realized in 1Q16 and are thus increasing our 2016E to $1.62.” YDKN: 2Q Comes Fairly In Line, Introducing 2017E Brady Gailey, CFA; Keefe Bruyette & Woods Inc. “The merger of equals has really been a success story with YDKN hitting all its numbers plus some. We still believe in this company and stock longer term as it continues to grow organically (and possibly via acquisition) pushing EPS higher.”
