 Huntington management and that the forecasts, projections and estimates reflected in such information would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated. It is understood that the portion of the foregoing financial information of Veritex and Huntington that was provided to KBW was not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure and that all of the foregoing financial information, including the publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Veritex and Huntington referred to above, was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such information. KBW assumed, based on discussions with the respective managements of Veritex and Huntington and with the consent of the Veritex board of directors, that all such information provided a reasonable basis upon which KBW could form its opinion and KBW expressed no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor.
