			<font style="display:inline;">Statements included in this communication, which are not historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward looking statements generally include words such as &#x201C;expects,&#x201D; &#x201C;projects,&#x201D; &#x201C;anticipates,&#x201D; &#x201C;believes,&#x201D; &#x201C;intends,&#x201D; &#x201C;estimates,&#x201D; &#x201C;strategy,&#x201D; &#x201C;plan,&#x201D; &#x201C;potential,&#x201D; &#x201C;possible&#x201D; and other similar expressions.

Such risks and uncertainties, include, among others, the following possibilities: (1)&nbsp;the outcome of any legal proceedings instituted against South State or Park Sterling Corporation (&#x201C;Park Sterling&#x201D;); (2)&nbsp;the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction are not realized when expected, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where South State and Park Sterling do business; (3)&nbsp;the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (4)&nbsp;diversion of management&#x2019;s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; (5)&nbsp;potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the completion of the transaction; (6)&nbsp;credit risks associated with an obligor&#x2019;s failure to meet the terms of any contract with the bank or otherwise fail to perform as agreed under the terms of any loan-related document; (7)&nbsp;interest risk involving the effect of a change in interest rates on the bank&#x2019;s earnings, the market value of the bank&#x2019;s loan and securities portfolios, and the market value of South State&#x2019;s equity; (8)&nbsp;liquidity risk affecting the bank&#x2019;s ability to meet its obligations when they come due; (9)&nbsp;risks associated with an anticipated increase in South State&#x2019;s investment securities portfolio, including risks associated with acquiring and holding investment securities or potentially determining that the amount of investment securities South State desires to acquire are not available on terms acceptable to South State; (10)&nbsp;price risk focusing on changes in market factors that may affect the value of traded instruments in &#x201C;mark-to-market&#x201D; portfolios; (11) transaction risk arising from problems with service or product delivery; (12) compliance risk involving risk to earnings or capital resulting from violations of or nonconformance with laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; (13) regulatory change risk resulting from new laws, rules, regulations, accounting principles, proscribed practices or ethical standards, including, without limitation, increased capital requirements (including, without limitation, the impact of the capital rules&nbsp;adopted to implement Basel III), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rules&nbsp;and regulations, and potential changes in accounting principles relating to loan loss recognition (CECL); (14) strategic risk resulting from adverse business decisions or improper implementation of business decisions; (15) reputation risk that adversely affects earnings or capital arising from negative public opinion; (16) terrorist activities risk that results in loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions; (17) cybersecurity risk related to the dependence of South State on internal computer systems and the technology of outside service providers, as well as the potential impacts of third party security breaches, subjects each company to potential business disruptions or financial losses resulting from deliberate attacks or unintentional events; (18) economic downturn risk potentially resulting in deterioration in the credit markets, greater than expected non-interest expenses, excessive loan losses and other negative consequences, with risks could be exacerbated by potential negative economic developments resulting from federal spending cuts and/or one or more federal budget-related impasses or actions; (19) greater than expected noninterest expenses; (20) excessive loan losses; (21) failure to realize synergies and other financial benefits from, and to limit liabilities associated with, mergers and acquisitions within the expected time frame;
