FB FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES BRANCH ACQUISITION

Acquires 14 Branches from Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc.

Proposed Acquisition to Add $602 Million in Deposits and $381 million in loans

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(November 14, 2018)– FB Financial Corporation (NYSE: FBK) announced today that 网上正规网投实体, its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, has entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement to purchase 11 Tennessee and 3 Georgia branch locations from Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACBI).

The acquisition builds density in the attractive Knoxville and Chattanooga markets while expanding into the nearby Dalton, GA market and provides additional customer deposits for future growth. At closing, FB Financial expects to operate 70 branches and pro forma will rank 5^th in Chattanooga, 7^th in Knoxville and 6^th in Tennessee in deposit market share, based on FDIC data as of June 30, 2018.

网上正规网投实体 anticipates assuming approximately $602 million in deposits and purchasing approximately $381 million in loans from this acquisition, representing substantially all of ACBI’s banking and mortgage operations in Tennessee and North Georgia. FB Financial will pay a deposit premium of 6.25% based on the lower of the actual deposit balance at close or on the average closing deposit balance for the 30 days prior to close. The branches to be acquired by 网上正规网投实体 will operate as Atlantic Capital branches until closing and will be re-branded as 网上正规网投实体 branches immediately upon closing of the transaction. Pending regulatory approval, the closing is expected to occur early in the second quarter of 2019.

“We are pleased to announce this addition to the Company, deepening our position as Tennessee’s premier community bank,” remarked Christopher T. Holmes, President and Chief Executive Officer of FB Financial. “Opportunities to add valuable customer relationships on this scale are scarce, and we are excited about the future prospects of this transaction.
