These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations regarding the combined company’s deposit base, diversification of the loan portfolio as well as overall risk diversification, capital to support growth, strengthened opportunities, enhanced value, geographic expansion, and statements about the proposed transaction being immediately accretive.
