Explanatory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being furnished as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K of United Community Banks, Inc. (“United”) furnished on October 20, 2020 under Items 2.02, 7.01 and 9.01 (the “Original Filing”). United is furnishing this Amendment solely to correct Slides 10 and 21 of the slide presentation discussing United’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that was furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Original Filing (the “Presentation”). Slide 10 of the Presentation furnished with the Original Filing presented an incorrect amount of payment deferrals for loans characterized as “Restaurants” type loans and loans characterized as “All Other Commercial” type loans as of September 30, 2020. Certain loans that should have been characterized as “All Other Commercial” type loans were inadvertently characterized as “Restaurants” type loans. The total amount of payment deferrals and percentage of total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020, as disclosed on Slide 10 of the Presentation furnished with the Original Filing, was correct and has not been changed. A footnote was also added to Slide 10 to further clarify loans characterized as “Equipment Finance” type loans. The chart titled “Restaurants by Product” and the language underneath such chart on Slide 21 of the Presentation furnished with the Original Filing presented incorrect information because of the inadvertent mischaracterization of certain loans that should have been characterized as “All Other Commercial” type loans instead of “Restaurants” type loans. Lastly, the chart titled “Hotels by Product” and the language underneath such chart on Slide 21 of the Presentation furnished with the Original Filing presented incorrect information because of an inadvertent mischaracterization of certain loans that should not have been characterized as “Hotel” type loans. No other changes have been made to the Presentation or the Original Filing.

 

A corrected version of the Presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and a corrected version of the Presentation has now been posted on United’s website, www.ucbi.com, under the “Investor Relations – Events and Presentations” section.

 

Except for the changes reflected in this Amendment, including the updated Presentation furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment being incorporated by reference into Item 7.01 of the Original Filing, this Amendment does not amend any other information contained in the Original Filing. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing. Nothing in this Amendment constitutes a determination by United as to the materiality of the corrected information provided herein.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Disclosures CAUTIONARY STATEMENT This Investor Presentation contains forward - looking statements about United Community Banks, Inc . (“United”), as defined in federal securities laws . Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward - looking statements and are based on information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date hereof . Because forward - looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such statements . The COVID - 19 pandemic is adversely impacting United, its employees, customers , vendors, counterparties, and the communities that it serves . The ultimate extent of the impact of COVID — 19 on United’s financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is highly uncertain . United’s results could be adversely affected by, among other things, volatility in financial markets, continued deterioration of economic and business conditions, further increases in unemployment rates, deterioration in the credit quality of United’s loan portfolio, deterioration in the value of United’s investment securities, and changes in statutes, regulations, and regulatory policies or practices . For a discussion of these and other risks that may cause such forward - looking statements to differ materially from actual results, please refer to United’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10 - K and Form 10 - Q for the quarters ended March 31 , 2020 and June 30 , 2020 under the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors . ” Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward - looking statements . NON - GAAP MEASURES This Investor Presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) . This financial information includes certain operating performance measures, which exclude merger - related and other charges that are not considered part of recurring operations . Such measures include : “Earnings per share – operating,” “Diluted earnings per share – operating,” “Tangible book value per share,” “Return on common equity – operating,” “Return on tangible common equity – operating,” “Return on assets – operating,” “Return on assets – pre - tax pre - provision, excluding merger - related and other charges,” “Efficiency ratio – operating,” “Expenses – operating,” and “Tangible common equity to tangible assets . ” Management has included these non - GAAP measures because it believes these measures may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating United’s underlying performance trends . Further, management uses these measures in managing and evaluating United’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions about our operations and performance . Operating performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non - GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies . To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non - GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the ‘Non - GAAP Reconciliation Tables’ included in the exhibits to this Presentation . 2
