SVB to host conference call with investors today at 2:45 p.m. Pacific Time

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and BOSTON JANUARY 4, 2021 — SVB Financial Group (“SVB”) (NASDAQ: SIVB), the parent of Silicon Valley Bank, the bank of the world’s most innovative companies and their investors, and Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Boston Private”)(NASDAQ: BPFH), the parent company of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company, a leading provider of integrated wealth management, trust and banking services to individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits, today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which SVB will acquire Boston Private. Combined private bank and wealth management assets under management would be $17.7 billion, based on 9/30/20 figures.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Boston Private shareholders will receive 0.0228 shares of SVB common stock and $2.10 of cash for each Boston Private share they own, representing a total consideration value of approximately $900 million based on SVB’s closing stock price of $387.83 on December 31, 2020.

SVB’s vision is to be the premier financial partner for the innovation economy, providing companies, entrepreneurs and their investors the services they need to succeed via four core businesses: commercial banking, investment banking, private banking and wealth management and fund management. The acquisition of Boston Private accelerates SVB’s private bank and wealth management offering, strengthening SVB’s overall platform and ability to fully meet the financial needs of its clients.

“Our clients rely on us to help increase the probability of their success – both in their business and personal lives,” said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. “Boston Private’s experienced and well-regarded team, robust service offering, and advanced technology platform will significantly bolster our private bank and wealth management capabilities and enhance our ability to offer products and services tailored to the needs of founders, executives and investors.”

Boston Private provides a full spectrum of wealth, trust, and private banking services dedicated to helping clients simplify and strengthen their financial positions. With Boston Private’s product suite and recently redesigned technology platform, SVB can expand its existing wealth management solutions, which include complex strategies to manage concentrated stock positions, to add tax planning, trust services, philanthropy and estate planning, while offering a significantly improved digital client experience. Boston Private’s clients will benefit from greater access to investment opportunities and participation in the innovation economy, as well as the power of SVB’s large balance sheet to support their borrowing needs.

“Together, SVB and Boston Private will be well-positioned to grow and scale our business, leveraging SVB’s deep client relationships and broad reach across the innovation economy to capture a greater share of the wealth management market,” said Anthony DeChellis, CEO of Boston Private. “We look forward to working together to support our clients as they pursue the goals they have for their businesses, families and legacies.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement financial disclosures that are presented in accordance with GAAP, this presentation utilizes certain non -GAAP measures of financial performance including Boston Private’s tangible common equity and Boston Private’s tangible book value per share. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies in Boston Private’s industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non -GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement. Boston Private’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Boston Private’s performance by providing additional information that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements that is helpful for investors to effectively analyze financial trends of ongoing business activities, and to enhance comparability with Boston Private’s peers across the financial sector. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see the reconciliation tables beginning on page 16 of Boston Private’s latest earnings release filed as an exhibit to Boston Private’s Form 8-K on October 21, 2020 for reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement financial disclosures that are presented in accordance with GAAP, this presentation utilizes certain non -GAAP measures of financial performance including Boston Private’s tangible common equity and Boston Private’s tangible book value per share. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies in Boston Private’s industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non -GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement. Boston Private’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Boston Private’s performance by providing additional information that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements that is helpful for investors to effectively analyze financial trends of ongoing business activities, and to enhance comparability with Boston Private’s peers across the financial sector. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see the reconciliation tables beginning on page 16 of Boston Private’s latest earnings release filed as an exhibit to Boston Private’s Form 8-K on October 21, 2020 for reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation.
