 entitled to one (1) vote on all matters properly submitted to holders of Veritex common stock. As of the Veritex record date, Veritex directors and executive officers and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote approximately [ ] shares of Veritex common stock, representing approximately [ ]% of the shares of Veritex common stock outstanding on the Veritex record date. Veritex currently expects that Veritex’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the merger agreement and the other proposals to be considered at the Veritex special meeting, although none of them has entered into any agreements obligating them to do so. Broker Non-Votes A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is not permitted to vote on a “non-routine” matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with such instructions. Broker non-votes only count toward a quorum if at least one proposal is presented with respect to which the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee has discretionary authority. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Veritex special meeting will be “non-routine” matters, and, as such, broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum at the Veritex special meeting. If your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holds your shares of Veritex common stock in “street name,” such entity will vote your shares of Veritex common stock only if you provide instructions on how to vote by complying with the voter instruction form sent to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with this proxy statement/prospectus.

| • | Vote required: Approval of the Veritex merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Veritex common stock entitled to vote thereon. |

| • | Effect of abstentions and broker non-votes: If you mark “ABSTAIN” on your proxy, fail to submit a proxy or vote at the Veritex special meeting via the Veritex special meeting website or fail to instruct your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee how to vote with respect to the Veritex merger proposal, it will have the same effect as
