## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**UNAUDITED PRO FORMA** 

**CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X in order to give effect to the merger and the related transaction accounting adjustments (pro forma adjustments) described in the accompanying notes.

On January 1, 2026, Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. ("Pinnacle") completed its merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") in which Synovus Financial Corp. ("Synovus") and Pinnacle each merged with and into Steel Newco Inc. ("Newco") simultaneously, with Newco continuing as the surviving corporation. In connection with the closing of the Merger, Newco changed its corporate name to Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. Upon completion of the merger, the separate corporate existence of each of Synovus and Pinnacle ceased, and Newco became the parent holding company of the combined organization.

Each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Pinnacle ("Pinnacle common stock") outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive one share of Newco ("Newco common stock") and (b) each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Synovus ("Synovus common stock") outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.5237 shares of Newco common stock. Holders of Synovus common stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Each share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, no par value, of Synovus ("Synovus series D preferred stock"), Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, no par value, of Synovus ("Synovus series E preferred stock") and 6.75% Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, no par value, of Pinnacle ("Pinnacle series B preferred stock"), was converted into the right to receive one share of an applicable newly created series of preferred stock of Newco.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Pinnacle and Synovus, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated income statements of Pinnacle and Synovus, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2025.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Pinnacle and Synovus have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are necessary to account for the merger, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Pinnacle (as the accounting acquirer) believes are reasonable. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies. Certain reclassifications have also been made to align Pinnacle's and Synovus' historical financial statement presentation.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are based on and should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Pinnacle and the related notes included in Pinnacles's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and (ii) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Synovus and the related notes included in Synovus' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

The merger is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Pinnacle as the accounting acquirer, as Newco was determined to not be substantive, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the aggregate purchase consideration will be allocated to Synovus' assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of completion of the merger. The process of valuing the net assets of Synovus immediately prior to the merger, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the purchase consideration and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, restructuring, severance and retention expenses, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary

------

allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon finalization of estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired.

As of the date of this filing, Pinnacle is in the process of completing its valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of the Synovus assets to be acquired or liabilities to be assumed. Final adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and the differences may be material.

Further, Pinnacle is also in the process of identifying all adjustment necessary to conform Synovus' accounting policies to Pinnacle's accounting policies. As more information becomes available, differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined company's financial information.

As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Fair value estimates related to the assets and liabilities from Synovus are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information becomes available. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total purchase consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company's statement of income. The final purchase consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

**PINNACLE AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED** 

**PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**Note 1. Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align Pinnacle's and Synovus' financial statement presentation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Pinnacle as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical financial statements of Pinnacle and Synovus. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their fair values as of the closing date, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

The allocation of the aggregate purchase consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions,. As of the date of this filing, Pinnacle is in the process of completing its valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of the Synovus assets to be acquired or liabilities to be assumed. Final adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and the differences may be material.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Pinnacle and Synovus, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 combine the historical consolidated income statements of Pinnacle and Synovus, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the merger or any acquisition and integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent management's best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Pinnacle believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

**Note 2. Reclassification Adjustments**

During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Pinnacle management performed an analysis of Synovus' financial information to identify differences in accounting policies and differences in balance sheet and income statement presentation as compared to the presentation of Pinnacle. Certain changes to financial statement presentation have been made to conform Pinnacle's and Synovus' historical financial statement presentation.

Additionally, certain financial statement captions have been combined for purposes of presenting in condensed form in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

**Note 3. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation**

The following table summarizes the determination of the preliminary purchase price consideration. The value of the purchase price consideration paid by Pinnacle in shares of common stock upon consummation of the merger was

------

determined based on the closing price of Pinnacle common stock as of December 31, 2025, the last trading date prior to closing.

**Note 4. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet**

The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the Pro Forma Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

**Note 5. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income**

The following pro forma adjustments have been included in the Pro Forma Adjustments column to give effect as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2025, in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income year ended December 31, 2025. All adjustments are based on preliminary assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.

All taxable adjustments were calculated using a statutory tax rate of 21.3%. The total effective tax rate of the combined company following the merger could be significantly different depending on the post-acquisition geographical mix of income and other factors. Because the tax rate used for this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is an estimate, it will likely vary from the actual rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the business combination and those differences may be material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.Adjustments to interest income on securities of $109.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, to record the estimated accretion of the fair value adjustments to acquired available for sale and held to maturity securities. Pro forma accretion was based on the use of straight-line methodology, over an estimated approximate life of 8 years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.Adjustment to interest expense on borrowings of $(13.1) million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, to record the estimated amortization of the premium on long-term debt. Pro forma amortization was based on the use of straight-line methodology, using the remaining term of the acquired long-term debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.Adjustment to record provision expense on Synovus' non-PCD loans of $240.5 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.Adjustment to equipment and occupancy expense of $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, to reflect increases of depreciation expense and decreases in rent expense as a result of estimated fair value on acquired owned and leased property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.Adjustment to reflect estimated transaction costs of $275.5 million directly attributable to the merger, including change in control costs and legal and advisory fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.Net adjustments to intangible amortization of $168.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, to eliminate Synovus amortization on other intangible assets and record estimated amortization of acquired other intangible assets.
