known as North American Financial Holdings, Inc., a North Carolina-based national bank holding company, agreed to amend (the "Amendment")

The Amendment provides that the consideration
to be paid by CBF will consist entirely of cash, in an amount equal to $3.11 per share of Southern Community common stock. Each
outstanding option to purchase shares of Southern Community common stock will be vested prior to the Merger and be paid in cash

In addition, and upon consummation of the

proceeds of up to $1.30 per share, based on the credit performance of Southern Community's legacy loan portfolio over the
five years following closing.
The obligations of Southern Community and
CBF to consummate the merger have been modified to remove certain conditions, including the effectiveness of certain registration
statements of CBF.
The transaction continues to be subject
