Current M&A Trends

ƒ Deal activity remains robust despite the lessening number of banks

ƒ Publicly traded acquirors taking advantage of their strong currency - willing to pay a significant premium for the right deal, but cautious about overpaying

Acquiror landscape continues to evolve

ƒ

ƒ Serial acquirors have out-grow smaller transactions (i.e. only looking for acquisitions of $1B or more) or are on the sidelines (integrating / digesting other deals, or focused on internal priorities)

ƒ Many logical mid-sized acquirors turn into sellers as scarcity and scale drive premium M&A multiples

ƒ Increased focus on the core deposit franchise - increasingly relevant given the rising rate environment

ƒ Large bank M&A is returning to the markets (regulatory relief, SIFI threshold, etc..)

ƒ Market reaction to large bank M&A has been mixed (is 1+1 > 2?)

ƒ Money center banks have been selling or consolidating branches in rural markets
