Notice of Change of Location of Annual Meeting of Shareholders
to be Held on May 6, 2020
Dear Shareholder:
Due to the escalating nature of the coronavirus pandemic and in light of recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the World Health Organization, and federal, state and local public health authorities, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of United Community Banks, Inc. to be held on May 6, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Meeting”),
at 1 p.m. Eastern Time has been changed to a virtual meeting format only, instead of holding an in-person meeting in Greenville, South Carolina.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING:
As described in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting, shareholders of record as of March 9, 2020, the record date, are entitled to
participate in the 2020 Annual Meeting. To attend and participate in the virtual 2020 Annual Meeting, shareholders of record will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UCBI2020 and use their 16-digit Control Number provided in the Notice to
log in to this website.
Beneficial owners of shares held in street name will need to follow the instructions provided by the broker, bank or other nominee that holds
their shares. Only one shareholder per 16-digit Control Number can access the 2020 Annual Meeting. Those without a Control Number may attend as guests of the 2020 Annual Meeting, but they will not have the option to vote their shares or participate
during the virtual 2020 Annual Meeting. We would encourage shareholders to log in to this website and access the webcast before the virtual Annual Meeting’s start time.
Further instructions on how to attend, participate in and vote at the virtual 2020 Annual Meeting, including how to demonstrate your
ownership of our stock as of the record date, are available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UCBI2020.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting by one of the
methods described in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in
connection with the Annual Meeting.
