CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements included in this communication which are not historical in nature are intended to be, and hereby are identified as, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning, and subject to the protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expected timing of the closing of the merger. These statements reflect management’s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. Words such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “opportunity,” “continue,” “should,” and “could” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, among others, the following:

| · | the failure to                                                                                                                               
 obtain necessary regulatory approvals when expected or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions   
 that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction);                                      |
| · | the failure of First Foundation                                                                                                              
 or FirstSun to obtain the required stockholder approval, or the failure of either party to satisfy any of the other closing conditions       
 on a timely basis or at all;                                                                                                                 |
| · | the occurrence of any event,
