FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the timing, benefits, costs, and synergies of the proposed merger with FNB (which we refer to as the “FNB merger”), and FB Financial’s future plans, results, strategies, and expectations. These statements can generally be identified by the use of the words and phrases “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “goal,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target,” “aim,” “predict,” “continue,” “seek,” “projection,” and other variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon current expectations, estimates, and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond FB Financial’s control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the FB Financial or any other person that such expectations, estimates, and projections will be achieved. Accordingly, FB Financial cautions shareholders and investors that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that are beyond FB Financial’s control. Although FB Financial believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date of this press release, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, (1) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the proposed FNB merger or another acquisition may not be realized or take longer than anticipated to be realized, (2) disruption from the proposed FNB merger with customer, supplier, or employee relationships, (3) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement with FNB, (4) the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for the FNB merger, (5) the failure to obtain the approval of FNB’s shareholders for the FNB merger, (6) the possibility that the costs, fees, expenses, and charges related to the FNB merger may be greater than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected or unknown factors, events, or liabilities, (7) the failure of the conditions to the FNB merger to be satisfied, (8) the risks related to the integration of acquired businesses (including the proposed FNB merger, FB Financial’s recent acquisition of branches from Atlantic Capital Bank, and any future acquisitions), including the risk that the integration of the acquired operations with those of FB Financial will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected, (9) the risks associated with FB Financial’s pursuit of future acquisitions, (10) the risk of expansion into new geographic or product markets, (11) reputational risk and the reaction of the parties’ customers to the FNB merger, (12) FB Financial’s ability to successful execute its various business strategies, including its ability to execute on potential acquisition opportunities, (13) the risk of potential litigation or regulatory action related to the FNB merger, and (14) general competitive, economic, political, and market conditions.
