Note (1)—Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, are based on the historical financial statements of FB Financial and Franklin after giving effect to the completion of the Merger and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The statements of income give effect to the transaction at January 1, 2019. Such financial statements do not include estimated cost savings, revenue synergies expected to result from the Merger, or the costs to achieve these cost savings or revenue synergies, or any anticipated disposition of assets that may result from the integration of operations. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared in accordance with historical generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America during the periods presented. As such, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not contemplate any impact as a result of changes to accounting standards that occurred after the historical periods presented.
The transaction will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. In business combination transactions in which the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of non-cash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, a more reliable measure.
Under ASC 805, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Subsequent to the completion of the Merger, FB Financial will complete the finalization and execution of its integration plan, which may affect how the assets acquired, including intangible assets, will be utilized by the combined company. For those assets in the combined company that will be phased out or disposed of, additional amortization, depreciation and possibly impairment charges will be recorded after management completes the integration plan.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by FB Financial. Certain balances from the consolidated financial statements of Franklin were reclassified to conform presentation to that of FB Financial.
The unaudited pro forma information is presented solely for information purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the period, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company.
Note (2)—Preliminary Estimated Allocation of Purchase Price
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Franklin based on the estimated fair values as of the closing of the merger. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
Goodwill totaling $80.4 million is included in the pro forma adjustments and is not subject to amortization.
The following table shows a preliminary allocation of purchase price to net assets acquired and the pro forma goodwill generated from the transaction.

Note (3)—Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the acquisition of Franklin. All adjustments are based on current valuations and assumptions which are subject to change.
a.Cash was adjusted to reflect cash consideration of $31.3 million paid in exchange for Franklin’s outstanding common stock, as well as restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and stock options that vested upon change in control.
b.Loans held for sale, at fair value, was adjusted to include approximately $357.6 million of an institutional loan portfolio, previously categorized by Franklin as loans at June 30, 2020. Additionally, this portfolio was discounted by $24.1 million to record at fair value. This institutional loan portfolio, consisting of commercial loans, will be disposed of by FB Financial as soon as practical after acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not give pro forma effect of FB Financial’s plans to dispose of this institutional loan portfolio after acquisition, which management anticipates will result in a decrease in loan interest income historically recognized by Franklin.
c.Loans was adjusted based upon FB Financial’s initial evaluation of the acquired portfolio. The adjustment reflects both a non-accretable credit discount of $17.5 million, a fair value accretable discount of $19.7 million and accretable yield premium, recognized as an adjustment to reflect the difference between actual interest rates and current market rates on similar loans amounting to $23.6 million. This results in a net discount on loans of $13.5 million, including a total net accretable premium of $3.9 million to be recognized over the remaining life of the loan portfolio. The adjustment to loans also reflects the reversal of deferred loan fees of $3.5 million and purchase accounting discount recorded by Franklin on previously acquired loans of $0.7 million. The impact of this adjustment decreased loan interest income by $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and by $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
d.The allowance for credit and loan losses was adjusted to reflect the reversal of the Franklin recorded allowance for loan losses of approximately $38.1 million at June 30, 2020. Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are required to be recorded at fair value, and the recorded allowance for loan losses may not be carried over. This does not reflect the initial estimated allowance for credit losses on the acquired portfolio, including on the purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans totaling approximately $24.8 million or the non-PCD loans totaling $52.8 million. While FB Financial adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” on January 1, 2020, no adjustment to the historic amounts of Franklin’s or FB Financial’s provision for loan losses has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. FB Financial recorded a provision for credit losses in the amount of $55.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and a provision for loan losses in the amount of $7.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Franklin recorded provisions for loan losses in the amounts of $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $32.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
e.Premises and equipment was adjusted to reflect estimated market value of land. buildings, site improvements, furniture, fixtures, computers and other equipment. Estimated market value of land, buildings and site improvements are based on management’s review of preliminary independent appraisals. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not give pro forma effect of the impact to depreciation expense resulting from the reduction in depreciation expense as the impact is insignificant.
f.Goodwill has been adjusted to reverse Franklin’s existing goodwill of $18.2 million and recognize $80.4 million in goodwill generated as a result of the purchase price and fair value of assets purchased exceeding the fair value of liabilities assumed. The adjustment has no impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.
g.Core deposit and other intangibles was adjusted to reverse Franklin’s existing core deposit intangible of $0.3 million and recognize an estimated core deposit intangible of $7.7 million. The core deposit intangible is recognized over an estimated useful life of ten years on a straight line basis. The amortization expense associated with the core deposit intangible increased noninterest expense by $0.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and by $0.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
h.Interest-bearing deposits was adjusted to reflect the fair value adjustment premium of $5.4 million to fixed-rate time deposit liabilities based on current market interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over an estimated remaining term of the deposit liability, which is expected to be approximately one year. As such, the adjustment resulted in a decrease in deposit interest expense of $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
i.Borrowings was adjusted to reflect a fair value adjustment to Franklin’s subordinated debt of $0.8 million, to reflect current market interest rates available to FB Financial on similar instruments. This interest rate premium will be amortized over the remaining term of the subordinated debt of six years. The impact of these adjustments will decrease interest expense by $66 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $133 thousand for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
j.Accrued expenses and other liabilities were adjusted to accrue for an estimated $7.0 million in pre-tax transaction expenses to be incurred prior to closing by Franklin and an additional $3.4 million in pre-tax transaction expenses to be incurred prior to or at closing by FB Financial. Anticipated merger expenses to be incurred by FB Financial are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income but will be expensed in the period prior to and after the Merger is completed. Anticipated merger related expenses consist of investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, registration fees, contract termination fees, printing costs and additional fees and expenses. Merger costs incurred by FB Financial totaling $2.4 million, primarily related to investment banking fees, are reflected in the Company’s historical results for the six months ended June 30, 2020. No merger expenses were incurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. An additional estimated $35.0 million of pre-tax conversion, integration, and other charges anticipated to be incurred subsequent to the close of the transaction are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet or statements of income presented. Accrued expenses and other liabilities were also adjusted to decrease the accrued deferred tax impact of the transaction amounting to $2.5 million.
k.Common stock and additional paid-in capital were adjusted to reverse Franklin’s common stock outstanding and to recognize the $1.00 par value of 15.1 million shares of FB Financial Corporation shares to be issued to affect the transaction. The adjustment has no impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.
l.Other stockholders’ equity accounts were adjusted to reverse Franklin’s historical stockholders’ equity balances and to reflect the net impact of all purchase accounting adjustments. The adjustment has no impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.
m.Income taxes were adjusted to reflect the tax effects of purchase accounting adjustments using FB Financial’s combined federal and state statutory rate of 26.06%.
n.Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding were adjusted to record shares of FB Financial stock issued to affect the transaction.
