As much as things change, they stay the same . . .

Banking is a heavily regulated industry- The number and cost of which, is growing rapidly

Corporate Governance expectations are also burdensome Consumer compliance somehow, outweighs practical business sense

- The zealots are killing the industry But value is still easy to measure:

- Enhance Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVS) - Enhance Core Earnings Per Share (CEPS) - Enhance the Franchise Value (Core Deposits, Delivery Channels)

In the banking industry, Risk, Governance and Regulation (RGR) drives strategy drives value . . .

This FinPro core principal has not changed since developed in 2003 . . .

Risk, Corporate Governance and Regulation are necessary, but too much of any of these impede value creation

The key is to pro-actively identify the key issues in each, devise mitigation strategies and thus preserve value

Once this outer ring is “under control”, we can go re-focus on real strategy and real value creation

Hopefully, this makes the industry fun again!

Successful ERM requires a single model, breaking down the SILOs and integrating risk, ALCO, budgeting, planning and stress testing . . .

Liquidity is still the single risk that can cost you your bank overnight . . .

1. Deposit growth will return as the key to Balance Sheet growth- follow the 2, 10, and 20 rule - allocate collateral in most efficient manner- update Contingency Funding Plan and incorporate stress tests

2. Manage Investments- move investment portfolios to HTM- underwrite and document whether investments are “investment grade”- Investment purchases should be pre-planned- buy in bigger chunks and less frequently

Boards set strategic direction. As such, they must establish several key principles which will drive strategic decision making. For example . . .

Board Principles Minimal TBVS dilution Grow EPS significantly 12% compounded annual return on TBVS over next 3 years Only consider sale today if:

- The offer is very strong and is from an acquirer with a strong currency- Market “double dips”

Continue to improve asset quality position- Goal of <3% NPAs/Total Assets- Goal of <50% Classified Asset coverage ratio

Become a “2” rated institution Eliminate regulatory orders (consent or MOU) Achieve 8.5% tangible equity capital ratio at the holding company over time Shift the holding company capital structure away from debt and toward more common

- Goal is 33% debt / total capital- Look to replace interest and dividend bearing instruments with new capital after Company is

rated a “2” and can raise capital that is accretive to current TBVS

CGMT should be able to track and ensure compliance with all the processes required and provide notice reminders . . .

Ability to enter dates for deadlines, expirations, and reviews for both processes and documents. Ability to securely store, transfer, and utilize documents critical to proper corporate governance. Ability to provide documents for specific meetings easily and intuitively to board members. A clean and color coded calendar that provides an overview of all processes and meetings. Ability for board members and senior management to audit the completion of processes and proper creation

of documents to comply with regulatory requirements. Ability to create custom alerts for each individual process, meeting, or document to ensure users are always

on top of due dates.

Community bankers are also in desperate need of a Board Education and Training program that works in the real world because . . .

New rules and regulations are being developed and implemented at a record pace;

Boards and executive management continue to age and must focus on talent management;

Ongoing education and training is viewed as a must in the industry;

FDIC is pursuing legal action against Board members more liberally than ever before;

Strategic planning is again focused on value creation, with an expectation of risk management already in place; and

Understanding the emerging issues will put the Bank at a competitive advantage over its competition.

Talent Management is the most important element of banking . . .

24

Investors don’t invest in banks, they invest in management teams A management review is a good thing True staff planning is essential

- Migrate to organizational structure for the future, not today- Which will necessitate organization wide management succession, and- Individual management succession

Must identify training needs and build it in house We should hire outside the industry, we need new ideas

Corporate infrastructure needs to be re-evaluated . . .

Eliminate Holding Company, if not utilizing it Select appropriate charter Deregister and delist Ensure that you have enough authorized but unissued shares for both common stock

and preferred stock Plan to fix your capital structure

Beta Value = the change in a given deposit price for each 1.00% change in market price- Measured as a percent- Market price is typically fed funds, LIBOR, or some other short term rate proxy

Decay Rate = the amount of deposit dollars that leaves an individual deposit type over a measured time period- Measured on monthly or annual basis- Utilizes todays rate as a starting point

The sensitivity of decays to betas increases and decreases with the Propensity to Renew factor. With a low propensity to renew accounts (unloyal accounts), changes in betas have large impacts on decays . . .

The results of a thorough deposit study are the justification of modeling assumptions, a well developed deposit strategy, and increased value (ability to communicate franchise of deposits to outsiders and potential interest expense savings) . . .

With the adjustments justified from this study the Sample Bank will save $1 million in interest expense in rising rates. That is a BIG number for a $620 million institution.

Consider higher LTV loans with approach of underwriting borrower vs. collateral, when direct payment is made from a bank checking account. Also consider offering interest only periods and some fixed number of options for the customer to convert some or all of the outstanding line into a fixed term loan.

A checking account with a low minimum or no minimum balance requirement, no fees, free internet banking, unlimited check writing, automatic overdraft protection, and tied to a savings account.

In M&A, you need to maintain discipline and be principled . . .

Any buy-side M&A deal must be:- Less than 10% TBVS dilutive (preferably less than 7.00%)- Immediately EPS accretive- Less than 5 year TBVS workback period (preferably 3 years)

To play in buy-side M&A, the Company must be a pro forma “2” rated institution Always remember that Investment Bankers would sell you anything to get a fee Do not fall in love with the deal, only execute transactions that fit your strategy and

build value Must, must, must maintain key business producers Monitor your position as both a buyer and a seller – Use the FinPro Quarterly Value

Raising capital is going to remain a primary strategic thrust for most institutions for the foreseeable future . . .

Build a value creation and detractor matrix Understand investor preferences Build shareholder list and analyze it Compile an accredited investor list (local and national) Compile a list of Private Equity players Only raise the amount of capital that can be effectively deployed in 1 to 3 years Think twice before highly dilutive capital raises

All strategic initiatives must be measured as to value creation . . .

There are three ways to realize value:- Dividend Policy (Both Cash and Stock)- Trading Price Appreciation (Growth in EPS and TBV per share)- Takeout Value (Branching or any other long term strategy)

There is a 30% to 50% premium for takeout over trading values.
