UNION BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Union Bankshares Corporation is the holding company for Union Bank & Trust. Union Banks & Trust has 155 branches, 15 of which are operated as Access National Bank, a division of Union Bank & Trust of Richmond Virginia, or Middleburg Bank, a division of Union Bank & Trust of Virginia and 7 of which are operated as Xenith Bank, a division of Union Bank & Trust of Richmond, Virginia, and approximately 200 ATMs located throughout Virginia and in portions of Maryland and North Carolina. Certain non-bank affiliates of the Company include: Old Dominion Capital Management, Inc., and its subsidiary Outfitter Advisors, Ltd., Dixon, Hubard, Feinour & Brown, Inc., Capital Fiduciary Advisors, LLC, and Middleburg Investment Services, LLC, all of which provide investment advisory and/or brokerage services; Union Insurance Group, LLC, which offers various line of insurance products; and Middleburg Trust Company, which provides trust services.

Effective May 17, 2019 (after market close), Union Bankshares Corporation will change its name to Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation and Union Bank & Trust will change its name to Atlantic Union Bank. The name change was approved by the Board of Directors at the Company's January 23, 2019 Board meeting and a related amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation was approved by the Company’s shareholders at its 2019 Annual Meeting on May 2, 2019. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other period.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Business Combinations and Divestitures

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Access National Corporation (and its subsidiaries), a bank holding company based in Reston, Virginia for a purchase price of approximately $500.0 million. Access's common stockholders received 0.75 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for each share of Access's common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 15,842,026 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company paid cash of approximately$12,000 in lieu of fractional shares.

In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded $200.6 million in goodwill and $44.2 million of amortizable assets, which primarily relate to core deposit intangibles. The Company currently estimates that these other intangibles assets will be amortized over 10 years using various methods. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition.

Affordable Housing Entities

The Company invests in private investment funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties that provide affordable housing tax credits for these investments. The activities of these entities are financed with a combination of invested equity capital and debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the Company recognized amortization of $500,000 and $235,000, respectively, and tax credits of $611,000 and $283,000, respectively, associated with these investments within “Income tax expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The carrying value of the Company’s investments in these qualified affordable housing projects was $28.4 million and $10.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's recorded liability totaled $16.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, for the related unfunded commitments, which are expected to be paid throughout the years 2019 - 2033.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The adoption of this standard required lessees to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess the lease classification of existing leases, as well as not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; and maintain consistent treatment of initial direct costs on existing leases. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption practical expedient in which leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to accounting for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recording a lease liability of $53.2 million and right of use assets of $48.9 million as of January 1, 2019. Operating leases have been included within other assets and other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The implementation of this standard resulted in a $1.1 million decrease to Retained Earnings. There was no impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 6 "Leases" for further discussion regarding the adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." This ASU amends the Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the prospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU contains significant differences from existing GAAP and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. This ASU updates the existing guidance to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The CECL model will replace the Company's current accounting for PCI and impaired loans. This ASU also amends the AFS debt securities OTTI model. The Company has established a cross-functional governance structure for the implementation of CECL. In addition, the Company is beginning the process of validating the models that will be used upon adoption of the standard. The implementation of this ASU will result in increases to the Company's reserves for credit losses of financial instruments; however, the quantitative impact cannot be reasonably estimated since this ASU relies on economic conditions and trends that will impact the Company's portfolio at the time of adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact ASU No. 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Access Acquisition

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Access National Corporation (and its subsidiaries), a bank holding company based in Reston, Virginia. Holders of shares of Access's common stock received 0.75 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for each share of Access's common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 15,842,026 shares of the Company's common stock at a fair value of approximately $500.0 million. In addition, the Company paid approximately$12,000 cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table provides a preliminary assessment of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (dollars in thousands):



Purchase Price:
Fair value of shares of the Company's common stock issued			$	499,974
Cash paid for fractional shares			12
Total purchase price			$	499,986

Fair value of assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	46,164
Investments	464,742
Loans	2,175,525
Premises and equipment	27,675
Core deposit intangibles	40,860
Other assets	103,082
Total assets	$	2,858,048

Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Deposits	$	2,227,073
Short-term borrowings	220,685
Long-term borrowings	70,535
Other liabilities	40,345
Total liabilities	$	2,558,638

Net assets acquired			$	299,410
Preliminary goodwill			$	200,576

The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date without carryover of Access’s previously established ALL. The fair value of the loans was determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and leases and then applying a market-based discount rate to those cash flows. In this regard, the acquired loans were segregated into pools based on loan type and credit risk. Loan type was determined based on collateral type, purpose, and lien position. Credit risk characteristics included risk rating groups (pass rated loans and adversely classified loans) and past due status. For valuation purposes, these pools were further disaggregated by maturity, pricing characteristics (e.g., fixed-rate, adjustable-rate) and re-payment structure (e.g., interest only, fully amortizing, balloon). If new information is obtained about facts and circumstances about expected cash flows that existed as of the acquisition date, management will adjust fair values in accordance with accounting for business combinations.

The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration which are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (acquired impaired) and loans that do not meet these criteria, which are accounted for under ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, (acquired performing). The fair values of the acquired performing loans were $2.1 billion and the fair values of the acquired

-11-

impaired loans were $17.9 million. The gross contractually required principal and interest payments receivable for acquired performing loans was $2.5 billion. The best estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected related to the acquired performing loans is $12.3 million.

The following table presents the acquired impaired loans receivable at the acquisition date (dollars in thousands):



Contractually required principal and interest payments	$	24,329
Nonaccretable difference	(4,003		)
Cash flows expected to be collected	20,326
Accretable difference	(2,432		)
Fair value of loans acquired with a deterioration of credit quality	$	17,894

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Access had been acquired on January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of Access in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2018. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Access’s provision for credit losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2018. Pro forma adjustments below include the net impact of accretion for 2018 and the elimination of merger-related costs for 2019. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies, including branch closures, as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below (dollars in thousands):



	Pro forma for the three months ended

Net income	$	52,336	$	24,667
EPS	$	0.64	$	0.30

(1) Includes net interest income and noninterest income.

The revenue and earnings amounts specific to Access since the acquisition date that are included in the consolidated results for 2019 are not readily determinable. The disclosures of these amounts are impracticable due to the merging of certain processes and systems at the acquisition date.

Merger-related costs associated with the acquisition of Access were $17.8 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such costs include legal and accounting fees, lease and contract termination expenses, system conversion, and employee severances, which have been expensed as incurred.

As of March 31, 2019, there were $503.0 million, or 187 issues, of individual AFS securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months and had an aggregate unrealized loss of $6.6 million. As of December 31, 2018, there were $385.4 million, or 138 issues, of individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months and had an aggregate unrealized loss of $10.2 million. The Company has determined that these securities were temporarily impaired at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the reasons set out below:

-13-

Obligations of state and political subdivisions. This category’s unrealized losses are primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations and ratings downgrades for a limited number of securities. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Corporate and other bonds. This category's unrealized losses are the result of interest rate fluctuations and ratings downgrades for a limited number of securities. The majority of these securities remain investment grade and the Company’s analysis did not indicate the existence of a credit loss. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Mortgage-backed securities. This category’s unrealized losses are primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and the accounting standard of "more likely than not" has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Also, the majority of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are agency-backed securities, which have a government guarantee.

The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of AFS securities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, by contractual maturity (dollars in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Held to Maturity

The Company reports HTM securities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value. Carrying value is amortized cost which includes any unamortized unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income prior to reclassifying the securities from AFS securities to HTM securities. Investment securities transferred into the HTM category from the AFS category are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the HTM securities. Such unrealized gains or losses are accreted over the remaining life of the security with no impact on future net income.

The carrying value, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of HTM securities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Restricted Stock, at cost

Due to restrictions placed upon the Bank’s common stock investment in the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB, these securities have been classified as restricted equity securities and carried at cost. These restricted securities are not subject to the investment security classifications and are included as a separate line item on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the FHLB required the Bank to maintain stock in an amount equal to 4.25% of outstanding borrowings and a specific percentage of the Bank’s total assets. The Federal Reserve Bank required the Bank to

-15-

maintain stock with a par value equal to 6% of the Bank's outstanding capital at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Restricted equity securities consist of Federal Reserve Bank stock in the amount of $61.8 million and $52.6 million for March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and FHLB stock in the amount of $74.1 million and $72.0 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

During each quarter, the Company conducts an assessment of the securities portfolio for OTTI consideration. The assessment considers factors such as external credit ratings, delinquency coverage ratios, market price, management’s judgment, expectations of future performance, and relevant industry research and analysis. An impairment is other-than-temporary if any of the following conditions exist: the entity intends to sell the security; it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or the entity does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). If a credit loss exists, but an entity does not intend to sell the impaired debt security and is not more likely than not to be required to sell before recovery, the impairment is other-than-temporary and should be separated into a credit portion to be recognized in earnings and the remaining amount relating to all other factors recognized as other comprehensive loss. Based on the assessment for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and in accordance with accounting guidance, no OTTI was recognized.

Realized Gains and Losses

The Company considers TDRs to be impaired loans. A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession that it would not otherwise consider to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. All loans that are considered to be TDRs are evaluated for impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology and are included in the preceding impaired loan tables. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the recorded investment in TDRs prior to modifications was not materially impacted by the modification.

The following table provides a summary, by segment, of TDRs that continue to accrue interest under the terms of the applicable restructuring agreement, which are considered to be performing, and TDRs that have been placed on nonaccrual status, which are considered to be nonperforming, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

The Company uses a risk rating system and past due status as the primary credit quality indicators for the loan categories. The risk rating system on a scale of 0 through 9 is used to determine risk level as used in the calculation of the ALL; on those loans without a risk rating, the Company uses past due status to determine risk level. The risk levels, as described below, do not necessarily follow the regulatory definitions of risk levels with the same name. A general description of the characteristics of the risk levels follows:

Pass is determined by the following criteria:

•Risk rated 0 loans have little or no risk and are with General Obligation Municipal Borrowers;

•Risk rated 1 loans have little or no risk and are generally secured by cash or cash equivalents;

•Risk rated 2 loans have minimal risk to well qualified borrowers and no significant questions as to safety;

•Risk rated 3 loans are satisfactory loans with strong borrowers and secondary sources of repayment;

•Risk rated 4 loans are satisfactory loans with borrowers not as strong as risk rated 3 loans and may exhibit a greater

degree of financial risk based on the type of business supporting the loan; or

•Loans that are not risk rated but that are 0 to 29 days past due.

Watch & Special Mention is determined by the following criteria:

•Risk rated 5 loans are watch loans that warrant more than the normal level of supervision and have the possibility of an

event occurring that may weaken the borrower’s ability to repay;

•Risk rated 6 loans have increasing potential weaknesses beyond those at which the loan originally was granted and if

not addressed could lead to inadequately protecting the Company’s credit position; or

•Loans that are not risk rated but that are 30 to 89 days past due.

Substandard is determined by the following criteria:

•Risk rated 7 loans are substandard loans and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth or paying capacity

of the obligor or the collateral pledged; these have well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt

with the distinct possibility the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected; or

•Loans that are not risk rated but that are 90 to 149 days past due.

Doubtful is determined by the following criteria:

•Risk rated 8 loans are doubtful of collection and the possibility of loss is high but pending specific borrower plans for

recovery, its classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined;

•Risk rated 9 loans are loss loans which are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as

bankable assets is not warranted; or

•Loans that are not risk rated but that are over 149 days past due.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible assets consist of core deposits, goodwill, and other intangibles arising from acquisitions. The Company has determined that core deposit intangibles have finite lives and amortizes them over their estimated useful lives. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 1 to 10 years, using an accelerated method. Other amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 5 to 10 years, using various methods. Refer to Note 2 "Acquisitions" for further information regarding intangible assets.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews the carrying value of indefinite lived intangible assets at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. The Company performed its annual impairment testing in the second quarter of 2018. In connection with the wind down of UMG, during the second quarter of 2018, the Company wrote off the goodwill in the amount of $864,000, which is included in discontinued operations.

Amortization expense of intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $4.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the estimated remaining amortization expense of intangibles is as follows for the years ending (dollars in thousands):



For the remaining nine months of 2019	$	14,613
2020	16,514
2021	13,905
2022	11,520
2023	9,717
Thereafter	22,286

6. LEASES

The Company leases branch locations, office space, land, and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. As of March 31, 2019, all leases have been classified as operating leases with approximately 170 non-cancellable operating leases where the Company is the lessee. The Company does not have any material arrangements where the Company is the lessor or in a sublease contract.

Operating leases have been reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as an operating ROU asset within Other Assets and an operating lease liability within Other Liabilities. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the course of the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating ROU Asset is recognized at commencement date based on the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made excluding lease incentives, and any initial direct costs incurred.

Total lease expenses are recorded in Occupancy Expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most of the Company’s leases include one or more options to renew, however, the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise those options and therefore does not include the renewal options in the measurement of the ROU Asset and lease liabilities.

Leases where the Company is a lessee are primarily for real estate leases with remaining lease terms of up to 30 years. The Company’s real estate lease agreements do not contain restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees. At March 31, 2019, the total ROU Asset was $58.5 million and total operating lease liabilities were $71.2 million. Total operating lease expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no operating leases that have not yet commenced and no sales leaseback transactions.

Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019 are as follows for the years ending (dollars in thousands):



For the remaining nine months of 2019	$	10,307
2020	12,164

7. BORROWINGS

Short-term Borrowings

The Company classifies all borrowings that will mature within a year from the date on which the Company enters into them as short-term borrowings. Total short-term borrowings consist primarily of advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased (which are secured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions), and other lines of credit. Also included in total short-term borrowings are securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are secured transactions with customers and generally mature the day following the date sold. Total short-term borrowings consist of the following as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):



	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018

Average interest rate (during the period)	2.47		%	1.91		%
Average interest rate at end of period	2.44		%	2.43		%

The Bank maintains federal funds lines with several correspondent banks, the remaining available balance of which was $602.0 million and $382.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company maintains an alternate line of credit at a correspondent bank, the available balance of which was $25.0 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company has certain restrictive covenants related to certain asset quality, capital, and profitability metrics associated with these lines and is considered to be in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company had a collateral dependent line of credit with the FHLB of up to $4.1 billion and $4.0 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Long-term Borrowings

In connection with several previous bank acquisitions, the Company issued and acquired trust preferred capital notes of $58.5 million and $87.0 million, respectively. Most recently, in connection with the acquisition of Access on February 1, 2019, the Company acquired additional trust preferred capital notes totaling $5.0 million with a fair value premium of $25,000. The remaining fair value discount on all acquired trust preferred capital notes was $15.5 million at March 31, 2019. The trust preferred capital notes currently qualify for Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory purposes. Our trust preferred capital notes consist of the following as of March 31, 2019:

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with an initial fixed interest rate of 5.00% through December 15, 2021. The interest rate then changes to a floating rate of LIBOR plus 3.175% through its maturity date on December 15, 2026. In connection with the acquisition of Xenith on January 1, 2018, the Company acquired $8.5 million of subordinated notes with a fair value premium of $259,000, which was $129,000 at March 31, 2019. The acquired subordinated notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.75% and a maturity date of June 30, 2025. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the contractual principal reported for subordinated notes was $158.5 million; remaining issuance discount as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company for regulatory purposes. The Company has certain restrictive covenants related to certain asset quality, capital, and profitability metrics associated with the acquired subordinated notes and is considered to be in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2019.

On August 23, 2012, the Company modified its fixed rate FHLB advances to floating rate advances, which resulted in reducing the Company’s FHLB borrowing costs. In connection with this modification, the Company incurred a prepayment penalty of $19.6 million on the original advances, which is included as a component of long-term borrowings on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company is amortizing this prepayment penalty over the term of the modified advances using the effective rate method. The amortization expense is included as a component of interest expense on long-term borrowings on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $493,000 and $481,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had long-term advances from the FHLB consisting of the following (dollars in thousands):

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Matters

In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings. Based on the information presently available, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk. The Company considers credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments by undergoing a similar process in evaluating losses for loans that are carried on the balance sheet. The Company considers historical loss rates, current economic conditions, risk ratings, and past due status among other factors in the consideration of whether credit losses are inherent in the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit. The Company also records an indemnification reserve that includes balances relating to mortgage loans previously sold based on historical statistics and loss rates. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's reserves for off-balance sheet credit risk and indemnification were $3.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

The following table presents the balances of commitments and contingencies (dollars in thousands):



	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commitments with off-balance sheet risk:
Commitments to extend credit ⁽¹⁾	$	3,763,137	$	3,167,085
Standby letters of credit	189,975		167,597
Total commitments with off-balance sheet risk	$	3,953,112	$	3,334,682

(1) Includes unfunded overdraft protection.

The Company must maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act. For the final weekly reporting period in the period ended March 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of daily average required reserves was approximately $75.3 million and was satisfied by deposits maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $74.4 million in deposits in other financial institutions, of which $38.9 million served as collateral for cash flow and loan swap derivatives. The Company had approximately $33.1 million in deposits in other financial institutions that were uninsured at March 31, 2019. At least annually, the Company’s management evaluates the loss risk of its uninsured deposits in financial counterparties.

For asset/liability management purposes, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify the interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Refer to Note 9 “Derivatives” for additional information.

As part of the Company's liquidity management strategy, it pledges collateral to secure various financing and other activities that occur during the normal course of business.

The Company is exposed to economic risks arising from its business operations and uses derivatives primarily to manage risk associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow or fair value hedge). The remaining are classified as free-standing derivatives consisting of customer accommodation loan swaps and interest rate lock commitments that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Derivatives Counterparty Credit Risk

Derivative instruments contain an element of credit risk that arises from the potential failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure to derivative counterparty credit risk, at any point in time, is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, assuming no recoveries of underlying collateral.

Effective January 1, 2019, as required under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company clears eligible derivative transactions through CCPs such as the CME and LCH, which are often referred to as “central clearinghouses”. The Company clears certain OTC derivatives with central clearinghouses through FCMs as part of the regulatory requirement. The use of the CCPs and the FCMs reduces the Company’s bilateral counterparty credit exposures while it increases the Company’s credit exposures to CCPs and FCMs. The Company is required by CCPs to post initial and variation margin to mitigate the risk of non-payment through the Company’s FCMs. The Company’s FCM agreements governing these derivative transactions generally include provisions that may require the Company to post more collateral or otherwise change terms in the Company’s agreements under certain circumstances. For CME and LCH-cleared OTC derivatives, the Company characterizes variation margin cash payments as settlements.

The Company also enters into legally enforceable master netting agreements and collateral agreements, where possible, with certain derivative counterparties to mitigate the risk of default on a bilateral basis. These bilateral agreements typically provide the right to offset exposures and require one counterparty to post collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position to the other counterparty.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions on variable rate borrowings, such as trust preferred capital notes, FHLB borrowings, and prime commercial loans. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements as part of its hedging strategy by exchanging a notional amount, equal to the principal amount of the borrowings or commercial loans, for fixed-rate interest based on benchmarked interest rates. The original terms and conditions of the interest rate swaps vary and range in length with a maximum hedging time through November 2022. Amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements.

All swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Company’s credit standards, and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in the contract is not significant.

The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship on a periodic basis using statistical regression analysis. The Company also measures the ineffectiveness of each hedging relationship using the change in variable cash flows method which compares the cumulative changes in cash flows of the hedging instrument relative to cumulative changes in the hedged item’s cash flows. In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the effective portions of the derivatives’ unrealized gains or losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Based on the Company’s assessment, its cash flow hedges are highly effective, but to the extent that any ineffectiveness exists in the hedge relationships, the amounts would be recorded in interest income or interest expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

On June 13, 2016, the Company terminated three interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges prior to their respective maturity dates. The unrealized gain of $1.3 million within accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings over a three-year period, the term of the hedged item, using the effective interest method. The estimated net amount of gains expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is $195,000.

Fair Value Hedge

Derivatives are designated as fair value hedges when they are used to manage exposure to changes in the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, referred to as the hedged items, which fluctuate in value as a result of movements in interest rates.

-37-

Loans: During the normal course of business, the Company enters into swap agreements to convert certain long-term fixed-rate loans to floating rates to hedge the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk. The Company pays a fixed interest rate to the counterparty and receives a floating rate from the same counterparty calculated on the aggregate notional amount. For the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate notional amount of the related hedged items for certain long-term fixed rate loans totaled $86.5 million and $87.6 million, respectively, and the fair value of the related hedged items was an unrealized loss of $299,000 and $1.6 million, respectively.

AFS Securities: During the fourth quarter 2018, the Company entered into a swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk on a portion of its fixed rate available for sale securities. For the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate notional amount of the related hedged items of the available for sale securities totaled $50 million and the fair value of the related hedged items was an unrealized loss of $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

The Company applies hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and the fair value hedge and the underlying hedged item, attributable to the risk being hedged, are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses being recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Statistical regression analysis is used to assess hedge effectiveness, both at inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. The regression analysis involves regressing the periodic change in fair value of the hedging instrument against the periodic changes in fair value of the asset being hedged due to changes in the hedged risk. The Company’s fair value hedges continue to be highly effective and had no material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income, but if any ineffectiveness exists, portions of the unrealized gains or losses would be recorded in interest income or interest expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Loan Swaps

During the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate swap loan relationships (“loan swaps”) with borrowers to meet their financing needs. Upon entering into the loan swaps, the Company enters into offsetting positions with a third party in order to minimize interest rate risk. These back-to-back loan swaps qualify as financial derivatives with fair values as reported in “Other Assets” and “Other Liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

During the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (“rate lock commitments”). The Company commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs ("best efforts") or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding ("mandatory") delivery program with an investor. Certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of MBS. Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold in the secondary market and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered to be derivatives. The Company uses these derivatives as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates, and to capture improved margins resulting from the mandatory delivery of loans. Mortgage banking derivatives as of March 31, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The market values of rate lock commitments and best efforts forward delivery commitments is not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments, delivery contracts, and forward sales contracts of MBS by measuring the change in the value of the underlying asset, while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

Certain risks arise from the forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Company does not close the loans subject to rate lock commitments, it will still be obligated to deliver MBS to the counterparty under the forward sales agreement.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:



Level 1		Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2		Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the markets.

Level 3		Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about what market participants would use and information that is reasonably available under the circumstances without undue cost and effort.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Derivative instruments

As discussed in Note 9 “Derivatives”, the Company records derivative instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company utilizes derivative instruments as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Company has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for derivatives using standard valuation techniques and therefore classifies such valuations as Level 2. Third party valuations are validated by the Company using Bloomberg Valuation Service’s derivative pricing functions. No material differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its derivative assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its derivative liabilities. Mortgage banking derivatives as of March 31, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments related to the origination of mortgage loans held for sale, as well as best efforts or mandatory delivery programs and forward sales contracts of MBS. These instruments are used to mitigate interest rate risk. The Company determines the fair value of these instruments by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which in turn is based on quoted prices for similar loans in the secondary market. This value, however, is adjusted by a pull-through rate applied at the loan level, which considers the likelihood that the loan in a lock position will ultimately close. The pull-through rate is derived from the Company’s internal data, as well as input from third party sources, and is adjusted using significant management judgment. It is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the rate lock. As such, interest rate lock commitments are classified as Level 3. An increase in the pull-through rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the interest rate lock commitment derivative will result in positive fair value adjustments, while a decrease in the pull-through rate will result in a negative fair value adjustment. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average pull-through rate was approximately 90%. As a result of the UMG wind-down, at December 31, 2018, the Company had no interest rate locks.

AFS Securities

AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity, then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).

-41-

The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its securities portfolio. The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is IDC, which evaluates securities based on market data. IDC utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.

The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipals securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.

The Company primarily uses Bloomberg Valuation Service, an independent information source that draws on quantitative models and market data contributed from over 4,000 market participants, to validate third party valuations. Any material differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No material differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the table below.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at fair value. These loans currently consist of residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded in current period earnings as a component of "Mortgage banking income, net" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Impaired loans

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is solely from the underlying value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data. When evaluating the fair value, management may discount the appraisal further if, based on their understanding of the market conditions, it is determined the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value (Level 3). At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Level 3 weighted average adjustments related to impaired loans were 3.0% and 5.3%, respectively. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Collateral dependent impaired loans allocated to the ALL are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Foreclosed Properties & Former Bank Premises

Foreclosed properties and former bank premises are evaluated for impairment at least quarterly by the Bank’s Special Asset Loan Committee and any necessary write downs to fair values are recorded as impairment and included as a component of noninterest expense. Fair values of foreclosed properties and former bank premises are carried at fair value less selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as Level 3 valuation. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Level 3 weighted average adjustments related to foreclosed property were approximately 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no Level 3 weighted average adjustments related to bank premises.

Total valuation expenses related to foreclosed properties for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $51,000 and $759,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 there were no valuation expenses related to former bank premises.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

HTM Securities

The Company's level 3 securities are a result of the Access acquisition and are comprised of asset-backed securities and municipal bonds. Valuations of the asset-backed securities are provided by a third party vendor specializing in the SBA markets, and are based on underlying loan pool information, market data, and recent trading activity for similar securities. Valuations of the municipal bonds are provided by a third party vendor that specializes in hard-to-value securities, and are based on a discounted cash flow model and considerations for the complexity of the instrument, likelihood it will be called and credit ratings. The Company reviews the valuation of both security types for reasonableness in the context of market conditions and to similar bonds in the Company's portfolio. Any material differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No material differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2019.

Loans

With the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 in 2018, the fair value of loans at March 31, 2019 were estimated using an exit price, representing the amount that would be expected to be received if the Company sold the loans. In the first quarter of 2019, the fair value of performing loans were estimated by utilizing two data sources for the selection of discount rates: either the recent origination rates from the Company over a 12-month period or an index to use recent originations from the market over a three-month period. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of performing loans were estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a yield curve that was constructed by adding a loan spread to a market yield curve. Loan spreads were based on spreads observed in the market for loans of similar type and structure. Fair value for impaired loans and their respective level

within the fair value hierarchy are described in the previous disclosure related to fair value measurements of assets that are measured on a nonrecurring basis.

BOLI

The carrying value of BOLI approximates fair value. The Company records these policies at their cash surrender value, which is estimated using information provided by insurance carriers.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposits were valued using a discounted cash flow calculation that includes a market rate analysis of the current rates offered by market participants for certificates of deposits that mature in the same period.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. Borrowers with fixed rate obligations, however, are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

12. REVENUE

The majority of the Company’s noninterest income comes from short term contracts associated with fees for services provided on deposit accounts, credit cards, and wealth management accounts and is being accounted for in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606." Typically, the duration of a contract does not extend beyond the services performed; therefore, the Company concluded that discussion regarding contract balances is immaterial.

The Company’s performance obligations on revenue from interchange fees and deposit accounts are generally satisfied immediately, when the transaction occurs or by month-end. Performance obligations on revenue from fiduciary and asset management fees are generally satisfied monthly or quarterly. For a majority of fee income on deposit accounts the Company is a principal controlling the promised good or service before transferring it to the customer. However, for income related to most wealth management income, the Company is an agent responsible for arranging for the provision of goods and services by another party.

Noninterest income disaggregated by major source, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards and warrants.

The following table presents EPS from continuing operations, discontinued operations and total net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands except per share data):

14. SEGMENT REPORTING & DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 23, 2018, the Bank announced that it had entered into an agreement with a third party mortgage company TFSB to allow TFSB to offer residential mortgages from certain Bank locations on the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. Concurrently with this arrangement, the Bank began the process of winding down the operations of UMG, the Company's reportable mortgage segment. Effective at the close of business June 1, 2018, UMG was no longer originating mortgages in its name. The decision to exit the mortgage business was based on a number of strategic priorities and other factors, including the additional investment in the business required to achieve the necessary scale to be competitive. As a result of this decision, the community bank segment is the only remaining reportable segment and does not require separate reporting disclosures.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet included assets and liabilities from discontinued operations of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet included assets and liabilities from discontinued operations of $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Management believes there are no material on-going obligations with respect to the mortgage banking business that have not been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents summarized operating results of the discontinued mortgage segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Union Bankshares Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2019, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Noninterest income increased $4.7 million, or 23.0%, to $24.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by the acquisition of Access, partially offset by a decline in other operating income of $2.1 million primarily due to the gain of $1.4 million recognized in the first quarter of 2018 related to the sale of the Company's ownership interest in a payments-related company.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based upon the results of operations, adjusted for the effect of certain tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses. In addition, certain items of income and expense are reported in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recognized currently in the deferred income tax provision or benefit. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the applicable enacted marginal tax rate.

The Bank is not subject to a state income tax in its primary place of business (Virginia). The Company’s other subsidiaries are subject to state income taxes and have historically generated losses for state income tax purposes. State net operating loss carryovers will begin to expire after 2026.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 14.9% and 10.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate compared to the first quarter of 2018 is primarily due to greater tax benefits related to stock compensation recorded during the first quarter of 2018 as compared to the same tax benefits recorded during the first quarter of 2019.

BALANCE SHEET

Assets

At March 31, 2019, total assets were $16.9 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion from $13.8 billion at December 31, 2018, reflecting the impact of the Access acquisition.

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Access. Below is a summary of the transaction and related impact on the Company's balance sheet.

•	Total deposits assumed totaled $2.228 billion with a fair value of $2.227 billion


•	Total goodwill arising from the transaction equaled $200.6 million


•	Core deposit intangibles acquired totaled $40.9 million

Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and costs, were $12.0 billion at March 31, 2019, an increase of $2.2 billion, or 23.0%, from December 31, 2018. Quarterly average loans increased $1.4 billion, or 15.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to the Access acquisition. Refer to "Loan Portfolio" within Item 2 and Note 4 "Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses" in Part I of Item I for additional information on the Company’s loan activity.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

At March 31, 2019, total liabilities were $14.4 billion, an increase of $2.6 billion from December 31, 2018.

-59-

The Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.23 per share during the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.02 per share, or 9.5%, compared to the dividend paid during the first quarter of 2018.

Securities

At March 31, 2019, the Company had total investments in the amount of $2.8 billion, or 16.6 % of total assets, as compared to $2.4 billion, or 17.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2018. The Company seeks to diversify its portfolio to minimize risk. It focuses on purchasing mortgage-backed securities for cash flow and reinvestment opportunities and securities issued by states and political subdivisions due to the tax benefits and the higher yield offered from these securities. The majority of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are agency-backed securities, which have a government guarantee. The investment portfolio has a high percentage of municipals and mortgage-backed securities; therefore, the Company earns a higher taxable equivalent yield on its portfolio as compared to many of its peers. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a swap agreement to hedge the interest rate on a portion of its fixed rate available for sale securities. For information regarding the hedge transaction related to available for sale securities, see Note 9, "Derivatives" in Part I of Item I of this Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company maintained a diversified municipal bond portfolio with approximately 65% of its holdings in general obligation issues and the majority of the remainder backed by revenue bonds. Issuances within the State of Texas represented 20% of the municipal portfolio; no other state had a concentration above 10%. Substantially all municipal holdings are considered investment grade. When purchasing municipal securities, the Company focuses on strong underlying ratings for general obligation issuers or bonds backed by essential service revenues.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, money market investments, federal funds sold, loans held for sale, and securities and loans maturing or re-pricing within one year. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary through federal funds lines with several correspondent banks, a line of credit with the FHLB, the purchase of brokered certificates of deposit, and a corporate line of credit with a large correspondent bank. Management considers the Company’s overall liquidity to be sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ credit needs.

As of March 31, 2019, liquid assets totaled $4.9 billion, or 29.2%, of total assets, and liquid earning assets totaled $4.8 billion, or 32.0% of total earning assets. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing loan and securities maturities and cash flows. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $4.3 billion, or 36.2% of total loans, are scheduled to mature within one year based on contractual maturity, adjusted for expected prepayments, and approximately $298.0 million, or 10.6% of total securities, are scheduled to mature within one year.

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary. Refer to Note 7 “Borrowings” in Part I of Item 1 for additional information and the available balances on various lines of credit. In addition to lines of credit, the Bank may also borrow additional funds by purchasing certificates of deposit through a nationally recognized network of financial institutions. Refer to “Deposits” within this Item 2 for additional information and outstanding balances on purchased certificates of deposits.

Loan Portfolio

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and costs, were $12.0 billion at March 31, 2019, $9.7 billion at December 31, 2018, and $9.8 billion at March 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company remains committed to originating soundly underwritten loans to qualifying borrowers within its markets. The Company is focused on providing community-based financial services and discourages the origination of portfolio loans outside of its principal trade areas. As reflected in the loan table, at March 31, 2019, the largest components of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate, commercial & industrial, and construction and land development loans. The risks attributable to these concentrations are mitigated by the Company’s credit underwriting and monitoring processes, including oversight by a centralized credit administration function and credit policy and risk management committee, as well as seasoned bankers focusing their lending to borrowers with proven track records in markets with which the Company is familiar.

Asset Quality

Overview

At March 31, 2019, the Company had lower levels of NPAs compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to nonaccrual customer payments and charge-offs. The nonaccrual charge-offs related to two credit relationships composed of commercial & industrial as well as construction and land development loans. NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans held for investment decreased from December 31, 2018. As the Company's NPAs and past due loan levels have been at or near historic lows over the last several quarters, certain changes from quarter to quarter might stand out in comparison to one another but have an insignificant impact on the Company's overall asset quality position.

Net charge-offs increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans on an annualized basis also increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The provision for loan losses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, as a result of higher net charge offs and loan balances in the first quarter of 2019. The ALL at March 31, 2018 decreased from December 31, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in historical loss rates.

All nonaccrual and past due loan metrics discussed below exclude PCI loans totaling $99.9 million (net of fair value mark of $23.1 million) at March 31, 2019.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The total recorded investment in TDRs as of March 31, 2019 was $25.5 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 4.2%, from $26.6 million at December 31, 2018 and an increase of $7.9 million, or 45.0%, from $17.6 million at March 31, 2018. Of the $25.5 million of TDRs at March 31, 2019, $20.8 million, or 81.6%, were considered performing while the remaining $4.7 million were considered nonperforming.

Nonperforming Assets

At March 31, 2019, NPAs totaled $32.2 million, a decline of $1.5 million, or 4.4%, from December 31, 2018 and a decrease of $1.0 million, or 3.1%, from March 31, 2018. NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans at March 31, 2019 were 0.27%, a decline of 8 basis points from 0.35% at December 31, 2018 and 7 basis points from 0.34% at March 31, 2018.

Past Due Loans

At March 31, 2019, total accruing past due loans were $51.4 million, or 0.43% of total loans, compared to $61.9 million, or 0.64% of total loans, at December 31, 2018 and $41.6 million, or 0.42% of total loans, at March 31, 2018. Of the total past due loans still accruing interest at March 31, 2019, $11.0 million, or 0.09% of total loans, were past due 90 days or more, compared to $8.9 million, or 0.09% of total loans, at December 31, 2018 and $2.6 million, or 0.03% of total loans, at March 31, 2018.

Net Charge-offs

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, net charge-offs were $4.2 million, or 0.15% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.1 million, or 0.05%, for the same quarter last year. The majority of net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2019 were related to consumer loans.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $4.0 million, an increase of $501,000 compared with the same quarter last year. The increase in the provision for loan losses compared to the first quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by higher loan balances in the first quarter of 2019.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The ALL of $40.8 million at March 31, 2019, is a decrease of $218,000 compared to the ALL at December 31, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in historical loss rates. The current level of the ALL reflects specific reserves related to nonperforming loans, current risk ratings on loans, net charge-off activity, loan growth, delinquency trends, and other credit risk factors that the Company considers important in assessing the adequacy of the ALL. The ALL as a percentage of the total loans held for investment was 0.34% at March 31, 2019, 0.42% at December 31, 2018, and 0.41% at March 31, 2018. The decline in the allowance ratio was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Access in the first quarter of 2019. In acquisition accounting, there is no carryover of previously established ALL.

Capital Resources

Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which financial institutions can exercise greater or longer control in comparison with deposits and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses, yet allow management to effectively leverage its capital to maximize return to shareholders.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve issued final rules to include technical changes to its market risk capital rules to align them with the Basel III regulatory capital framework and meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. Effective January 1, 2015, the final rules require the Company and the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets (increased from the prior requirement of 4.0%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets (unchanged from the prior requirement); and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% of total assets (unchanged from the prior requirement). These capital requirements will be phased in over a four-year period. The rules were fully phased in on January 1, 2019, and now require the Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0% upon full implementation), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of

-67-

at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation), and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets.

Beginning January 1, 2016, the capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, and increased by the same amount each year and was fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Access. As a result, as of March 31, 2019, the Company’s assets exceeded $15.0 billion and the trust preferred capital notes now qualify for Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

-68-

In reporting the results of the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on a tax-equivalent, tangible, and/or operating basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company's financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company's performance.

Net interest income (FTE), which is used in computing net interest margin (FTE) and efficiency ratio (FTE), provides valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in

computing yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds

ratios are not affected by the FTE components.

The Company believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its ability to grow organically and through business combinations as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies. Tangible common equity is used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible common equity and related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses.

Operating measures exclude merger-related costs unrelated to the Company’s normal operations. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as they exclude certain costs resulting from acquisition activity and allow investors to more clearly see the combined economic results of the organization's operations.

The operating efficiency ratio (FTE) excludes the amortization of intangible assets and merger-related costs. This measure is similar to the measure utilized by the Company when analyzing corporate performance and is also similar to the measure utilized for incentive compensation. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors as it excludes certain costs resulting from acquisition activity allowing for greater comparability with others in the industry and allowing investors to more clearly see the combined economic results of the organization's operations. In prior periods, the Company has not excluded the amortization of intangibles from noninterest expense when calculating the operating efficiency ratio (FTE). The Company has adjusted its presentation for all periods in this release to exclude the amortization of intangibles from noninterest

expense.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The ALCO of the Company is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves the guidelines established by ALCO.

Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary modeling tools: static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling, and economic value simulation (net present value estimation). Each of these models measures changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While each of the interest rate risk models has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. Static gap, which measures aggregate re-pricing values, is less utilized because it does not effectively measure the options risk impact on the Company and is not addressed here. Earnings simulation and economic value models, which more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality impacts, are utilized by management on a regular basis and are explained below.

The Company determines the overall magnitude of interest sensitivity risk and then formulates policies and practices governing asset generation and pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments. These decisions are based on management’s expectations regarding future interest rate movements, the states of the national, regional and local economies, and other financial and business risk factors. The Company uses simulation modeling to measure and monitor the effect of various interest rate scenarios and business strategies on net interest income. This modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related impact on net interest income and net income over specified time horizons.

Earnings Simulation Analysis

Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses, such as the static gap analysis discussed above.

Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends and management’s outlook and include loan and deposit growth rates and projected yields and rates. These assumptions may not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. The model also does not take into account any future actions of management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes. Such assumptions are monitored by management and periodically adjusted as appropriate. All maturities, calls, and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and are reflected in the different rate scenarios.

The Company uses its simulation model to estimate earnings in rate environments where rates are instantaneously shocked up or down around a “most likely” rate scenario, based on implied forward rates and futures curves. The analysis assesses the impact on net interest income over a 12-month time horizon after an immediate increase or “shock” in rates, of 100 basis points up to 300 basis points. The model, under all scenarios, does not drop the index below zero.

-72-

The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net interest income for the Company across the rate paths modeled for balances as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):



	Change In Net Interest Income March 31,
	2019				2018
	%		$		%		$
Change in Yield Curve:
+300 basis points	9.80		55,995		3.70		16,666
+200 basis points	6.84		39,070		2.90		13,055
+100 basis points	3.45		19,689		1.71		7,678
Most likely rate scenario	—		—		—		—
-100 basis points	(4.65	)	(26,580	)	(3.13	)	(14,108	)
-200 basis points	(10.14	)	(57,948	)	(7.05	)	(31,730	)

Asset sensitivity indicates that in a rising interest rate environment the Company’s net interest income would increase and in a decreasing interest rate environment the Company’s net interest income would decrease. Liability sensitivity indicates that in a rising interest rate environment the Company’s net interest income would decrease and in a decreasing interest rate environment the Company’s net interest income would increase.

From a net interest income perspective, the Company was more asset sensitive as of March 31, 2019, compared to its position as of March 31, 2018. This shift is in part due to the changing market characteristics of certain deposit products and in part due to recent off-balance sheet strategies. The Company would expect net interest income to increase with an immediate increase or shock in market rates. In the decreasing interest rate environments, the Company would expect a decline in net interest income as interest-earning assets re-price at lower rates and interest-bearing deposits remain near their floors.

Economic Value Simulation

Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer-term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet.

The following chart reflects the estimated change in net economic value over different rate environments using economic value simulation for the balances at the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):



	Change In Economic Value of Equity March 31,
	2019				2018
	%		$		%		$
Change in Yield Curve:
+300 basis points	(5.12	)	(171,082	)	0.60		14,841
+200 basis points	(3.04	)	(101,410	)	1.01		24,884
+100 basis points	(1.27	)	(42,426	)	1.02		25,083
Most likely rate scenario	—		—		—		—
-100 basis points	(0.91	)	(30,425	)	(3.46	)	(85,255	)
-200 basis points	(3.59	)	(119,959	)	(9.59	)	(236,131	)

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's economic value of equity is more sensitive in a rising interest rate environment compared to March 31, 2018 due to higher concentrations of longer duration assets.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
