Transaction Overview 1 The stock consideration may be reduced by approximately $30.5 million in connection with the possible sale of certain loans to certain C1 shareholders simultaneously with the closing of the transaction. If such transaction occurs, approximately $30.5 million of the stock consideration would be redeemed as treasury shares in exchange for the transfer to certain C1 shareholders of C1 loans believed to have an equivalent value and secured by collateral outside the United States. 2 The consideration payable to C1 shareholders is subject to downward adjustment if the net book value of C1 at the time of the merger is below a specified level and is subject to an upward adjustment if certain loans of C1 are sold at a price above a specified amount. These potential adjustments are not expected to result in any material change to the consideration payable and are described in the Agreement. Exchange ratio will be based on OZRK’s average closing price for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the 2nd business day prior to closing ranging between a ceiling of $66.31 and a floor of $39.79. 3 Based on C1’s unaudited consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2015. 4 Consensus analysts estimate for C1’s 2016 net income was obtained from Bloomberg.

Key Assumptions 1 Net of the reversal of C1’s allowance for loan losses of $7.9 million as of September 30, 2015. Cost Savings Expected non-interest expense savings of 7%+ in first 12 months, including the amortization of the core deposit and other intangibles (17%+ excluding amortization of intangibles) Purchase Accounting Assumptions Expected loan and ORE mark of approximately $30-$36 million, net 1 Merger Related Costs Incurred by C1 prior to close: $ 12- $ 15 million on a pre-tax basis System Conversion Anticipated system conversion 4-6 months after closing Expected non-interest expense savings of 17 %+ thereafter, including the amortization of the core deposit and other intangibles (27%+ excluding amortization of intangibles) Expected mark on long-term deposits and FHLB advances of approximately $7-$9 million Incurred by OZRK post-close: $4-$6 million on a pre-tax basis Additionally, OZRK will incur amortization expense over the first four years related to a non-competition agreement, the annual cost being approximately $1.4 million per year on a pre-tax basis, totaling $5.7 million over the first four years following acquisition. This expense has been netted against other non-interest expense savings to arrive at the guidance provided above. Both OZRK and C1 currently utilize Fiserv Premier as their core operating system, which will minimize the cost and risk related to core systems conversion
