Performance Graph

The performance graph compares the yearly percentage change in the Company’s cumulative total stockholder return on its common stock over the last five years to the cumulative total return of (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500 Index) and (ii) the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Regional Banking Index (KRX Index), assuming the reinvestment of dividends and an initial investment of $100 on December 31, 2019. The KRX Index is a market-capitalization weighted index comprised of 50 regional banks or thrifts located throughout the United States.

Cumulative total stockholder return is measured by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period, by the share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The plotted points represent the cumulative total stockholder return on the last trading day of the year indicated. Historical performance shown on the graph is not necessarily indicative of future performance.
