AND SUBSIDIARIES 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of United Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“United” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements presented as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the three-month periods then ended have not been audited. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in United’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes descriptions of significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, any adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of United and its wholly owned subsidiaries. United operates in two business segments: community banking and mortgage banking. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Information is presented in these notes to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements with dollars expressed in thousands, except per share or unless otherwise noted. New Accounting Standards In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures”. ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements for accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors in ASC 310-40, and enhances creditors’ disclosure requirements related to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of gross write-offs by year of origination. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for public business entities that have adopted Topic 326 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact ASU No. 2022-02 will have on the Company’s disclosures, financial condition or results of operations. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method”. ASU 2022-01 further aligns risk management objectives with hedge accounting results on the application of the last-of-layer method, which was first introduced in ASU No. 2017-12. The enhanced guidance further improves the last-of-layer concepts to expand to nonprepayable financial assets and allows more flexibility in the derivative structures used to hedge the interest rate risk. ASU 2022-01 also provides guidance on the relationship between the portfolio layer method requirements and other areas of GAAP. ASU No. 2022-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU 2017-12 for the corresponding period. ASU No. 2022-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers”. ASU 2021-08 amends ASC 805 to add contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an entity acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business 10 Table of Contents combination in accordance with Topic 606. As a result of these amendments, it is expected that an acquirer will generally recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities in a manner consistent with how the acquiree recognized and measured them in its preacquisition financial statements. ASU No. 2021-08 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. ASU No. 2021-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (Topic 848)”. This new guidance requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease at lease commencement if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 and 25-3, respectively and if the lessor would have recognized a selling loss at lease commencement. When applying the guidance in ASC 842-10-24-3A, the lessor would not derecognize the underlying asset over its useful life. ASU No. 2021-05 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may elect to adopt the amendments through either a retrospective application to leases that commenced or were modified after the beginning of the period in which ASC 842 was adopted or a prospective application to leases that commence or are modified subsequent to the date the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are first applied. ASU No. 2021-05 was adopted by United on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).” This update to ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” refines the scope of ASC Topic 848 and permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by change in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities under way in global financial markets. ASU No. 2021-01 is effective for public business entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. United is implementing a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. In addition, United has taken steps to ensure that no new contracts using LIBOR will be originated after December 31, 2021. At this time, United intends to prioritize the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and Prime as the preferred alternatives to LIBOR; however, these preferred alternatives could change over time based on market developments. In August 2020, the FASB issued No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” The amendments in the ASU remove certain separation models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock that require the separation of a convertible debt instrument into a debt component and an equity or derivative component. The ASU also amends the derivative scope exception guidance for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments remove three settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. In addition, the ASU expands disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and simplifies areas of the guidance for diluted earnings-per-share calculations that are impacted by the amendments. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may elect to adopt the amendments through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. ASU No. 2020-06 was adopted by United on January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides “optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued.” ASU No. 2020-04 is effective for public business entities on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. See information above under ASU No. 2021-01 for an update on the steps United has taken to transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments. 1 1 Table of Contents 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS On December 3, 2021 (the “Acquisition Date”), United completed its acquisition of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (“Community Bankers Trust”). Community Bankers Trust was merged with and into United (the “Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated June 2, 2021, by and between United and Community Bankers Trust (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Community Bankers Trust was converted into the right to receive 0.3173 shares of United common stock, par value $ 2.50 per share. Also, pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Community Bankers Trust stock option granted under a Community Bankers Trust stock plan, whether vested or unvested as of the date of the Merger, vested as provided pursuant to the terms of such Community Bankers Trust stock plan and converted into an option to acquire United common stock adjusted based on the 0.3173 exchange ratio. Also, at the effective time of the Merger, each restricted stock unit granted under a Community Bankers Trust stock plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger vested in accordance with the formula and other terms of the Community Bankers Trust stock plan and converted into the right to receive shares of United common stock based on the 0.3173 exchange ratio. Immediately following the Merger, Essex Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Bankers Trust, merged with and into United Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of United (the “Bank Merger”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 2, 2021. United Bank survived the Bank Merger and continues to exist as a Virginia banking corporation. The Merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of Community Bankers Trust are included in the consolidated results of operations from the Acquisition Date. The acquisition of Community Bankers Trust enhanced United’s existing presence in the DC Metro MSA and took United into new markets including Baltimore, Annapolis, Lynchburg, Richmond, and the Northern Neck of Virginia. It also strategically connected our Mid-Atlantic and Southeast footprints. As of the Acquisition Date, Community Bankers Trust had $ 1,788,230 in total assets, $ 1,282,997 in loans and leases, net of unearned income and $ 1,517,502 in deposits. The aggregate purchase price was $ 260,304 , including common stock valued at $ 252,321 , stock options assumed valued at $ 7,958 , and cash paid for fractional shares of $ 25 . The number of shares issued in the transaction was 7,135,771 , which were valued based on the closing market price of $ 35.36 for United’s common shares on December 3, 2021. The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets resulting in preliminary additions to goodwill and core deposit intangibles of $ 79,204 and $ 3,398 , respectively. The goodwill recognized results from the expected synergies and potential earnings from the combination of United and Community Bankers Trust. The core deposit intangible is expected to be amortized on an accelerated basis over ten years. Because the consideration paid was greater than the net fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, the Company recorded goodwill as part of the acquisition. None of the goodwill from the Community Bankers Trust acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. United used an independent third party to help determine the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from Community Bankers Trust. As a result of the merger, United recorded preliminary fair value discounts of $ 7,744 on the loans and leases acquired, $ 230 on land acquired, $ 50 on OREO properties acquired and $ 415 on a trust preferred issuance, and premiums of $ 6,766 on investment securities acquired, $ 492 on buildings acquired, $ 2,741 on interest-bearing deposits, and $ 457 on long-term FHLB advances, respectively. United also recorded an allowance for credit losses, including a reserve for unfunded commitments, of $ 25,920 on the loans and commitments acquired split between $ 12,788 for purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans which is part of the acquisition date fair value, and $ 13,132 for non-PCD loans recorded to the provision for credit losses. The discounts and premium amounts, except for discount on the land, OREO and FHLB advances acquired, are being accreted or amortized on an accelerated or straight-line basis, based on the type of asset or liability, over each asset’s or liability’s estimated remaining life at the time of acquisition. The FHLB advances acquired were subsequently repaid prior to year-end. At March 31, 2022, the discount on the trust preferred issuance had an estimated remaining life of 12.00 years and the premiums on the buildings, and interest-bearing deposits each had an average estimated remaining life of 31.00 years, and 5.00 years, respectively. 1 2 Table of Contents Portfolio loans and leases acquired from Community Bankers Trust were recorded at their fair value at the Acquisition Date based on a discounted cash flow methodology. The estimated fair value incorporates adjustments related to market loss assumptions and prevailing market interest rates for comparable assets and other market factors such as liquidity from the perspective of a market participant. Also, acquired portfolio loans and leases were evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either PCD, which indicates that the loan has experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, or non-PCD. United considered a variety of factors in evaluating the acquired loans and leases for a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality, including but not limited to risk grades, delinquency, nonperforming status, current or previous troubled debt restructurings or bankruptcies, watch list credits and other qualitative factors that indicated a deterioration in credit quality since origination. For PCD loans and leases, an initial allowance is determined based on the same methodology as other portfolio loans and leases. This initial allowance for credit losses is allocated to individual PCD loans and leases and added to the acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis for the PCD loans and leases. The difference between the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), or par value, of PCD loans and leases and the amortized cost basis is considered to relate to noncredit factors and resulted in a discount of $ 3,559 at the Acquisition Date. This discount will be recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans which is estimated to be a weighted-average of 5.5 years. For non-PCD acquired loans and leases, the differences between the initial fair value and the UPB, or par value, are recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the lives of the related loans and leases which is estimated to be a weighted-average of 5.6 years. The total fair value mark on the non-PCD loans and leases at the Acquisition Date was $ 4,186 . At the Acquisition Date, an initial allowance for expected credit losses of $ 12,288 was recorded with a corresponding charge to the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses related to PCD and non-PCD loans and leases are recognized in the provision for credit losses. The following table provides a reconciliation of the difference between the purchase price and the par value of portfolio PCD loans and leases acquired from Community Bankers Trust as of the Acquisition Date: Purchase price of PCD loans and leases at acquisition $ 360,638 Allowance for credit losses at acquisition 12,629 Non-credit discount at acquisition 3,559 Par value (UPB) of acquired PCD loans and leases at acquisition $ 376,826 The consideration paid for Community Bankers Trust’s common equity and the preliminary amounts of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date were as follows: Purchase price: Value of common shares issued ( 7,135,771 shares) $ 252,321 Fair value of stock options assumed 7,958 Cash for fractional shares 25 Total purchase price 260,304 Identifiable assets: Cash and cash equivalents 39,445 Investment securities 395,249 Net loans and leases 1,280,016 Premises and equipment 25,857 Operating lease right-of-use asset 8,127 Core deposit intangible 3,398 Other assets 51,069 Total identifiable assets $ 1,803,161 Identifiable liabilities: Deposits $ 1,520,243 Short-term borrowings 26,755 Long-term borrowings 51,500 Operating lease liability 8,127 Other liabilities 15,436 Total identifiable liabilities 1,622,061 Preliminary fair value of net assets acquired including identifiable intangible assets 181,100 Preliminary resulting goodwill $ 79,204 1 3 Table of Contents The operating results of United include operating results of acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the Acquisition Date. The operations of United’s central region of Virginia, which includes most of the acquired operations of Community Bankers Trust provided $ 9,805 in total revenues (net interest income plus other income), and $ 6,096 in net income for the first three months ended March 31, 2022. These amounts are included in United’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the first three months ended March 31, 2022. Community Bankers Trust’s results of operations prior to the Acquisition Date are not included in United’s consolidated results of operations. The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the first three months of 2021, as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2021. These results combine the historical results of Community Bankers Trust into United’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on the indicated date nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Community Bankers Trust’s provision for credit losses for the first three months of 2021 that may not have been necessary had the acquired loans and leases been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of 2021. Additionally, United expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts.

Available-for-sale debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on non-accrual status. Accordingly, United does not currently recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities. The table above excludes accrued interest receivable of $ 17,425 and $ 15,353 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, that is recorded in “Accrued interest receivable.” The following is a summary of securities available for sale which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Gains or losses on sales and calls of available for sale securities were recognized by the specific identification method. Three Months Ended March 31 2022 2021 Proceeds from sales and calls $ 151,627 $ 269,529 Gross realized gains 0 1,542 Gross realized losses 0 98 At March 31, 2022, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were $ 195,581 on 1,174 securities of a total portfolio of 1,546 available for sale securities. Securities with the most significant gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of agency residential mortgage-backed securities and agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. In determining whether or not a security is impaired, management considered the severity of the loss in conjunction with United’s positive intent and the more likely than not ability to hold these securities to recovery of their cost basis or maturity. Generally, the significant amount of gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities at March 31, 2022 was the result of rising interest rates. State and political subdivisions United’s state and political subdivisions portfolio relates to securities issued by various municipalities located throughout the United States. The total amortized cost of available for sale state and political subdivision securities was $ 838,384 at March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 53 % of the portfolio was supported by the general obligation of the issuing municipality, which allows for the securities to be repaid by any means available to the municipality. The majority of the portfolio was rated AA or higher, and no securities within the portfolio were rated below investment grade as of March 31, 2022. In addition to monitoring the credit ratings of these securities, management also evaluates the financial performance of the underlying issuers on an ongoing basis. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the state and political subdivision securities had credit losses at March 31, 2022. Agency mortgage-backed securities United’s agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The total amortized cost of available for sale agency mortgage-backed securities was $ 2,126,348 at March 31, 2022. 16 Table of Contents Of the $ 2,126,348 amount, $ 653,526 was related to agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and $ 1,472,822 was related to agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Each of the agency mortgage-backed securities provides a guarantee of full and timely payments of principal and interest by the issuing agency. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses at March 31 , 2022 . Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities United’s non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities of various private label issuers. The total amortized cost of available for sale non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities was $ 103,779 at March 31, 2022. Of the $ 103,779 , 100 % was rated AAA. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that no ne of the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities had credit losses at March 31, 2022. Asset-backed securities As of March 31, 2022, United’s asset-backed securities portfolio had a total amortized cost balance of $ 856,840 . 100 % of the portfolio was investment grade rated as of March 31, 2022. Approximately 35 % of the portfolio relates to securities that are backed by Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan collateral which includes a minimum of a 97 % government repayment guaranty, as well as additional credit support and subordination in excess of the government guaranteed portion. Approximately 65 % of the portfolio relates to collateralized loan obligation securities that are all AAA rated. Upon reviewing this portfolio for the first quarter of 2022, it was determined that no ne of the asset-backed securities had credit losses. Single issue trust preferred securities The majority of United’s single issue trust preferred portfolio consists of obligations from large cap banks (i.e. banks with market capitalization in excess of $ 10 billion). All single issue trust preferred securities are currently receiving interest payments. The amortized cost of available for sale single issue trust preferred securities as of March 31, 2022 consisted of $ 8,458 in investment grade bonds, $ 3,075 in split rated bonds, and $ 5,771 in unrated bonds. Management reviews each issuer’s current and projected earnings trends, asset quality, capitalization levels, and other key factors. Upon completing the review for the first quarter of 2022, it was determined that none of the single issue trust preferred securities had credit losses. Corporate securities As of March 31, 2022, United’s Corporate securities portfolio had a total amortized cost balance of $ 632,223 . The majority of the portfolio consisted of debt issuances of corporations representing a variety of industries, including financial institutions. Of the $ 632,223 total amortized cost balance, 81 % was investment grade rated, 1 % was below investment grade rated, 1 % was split rated, and 17 % was unrated. For corporate securities, management has evaluated the near-term prospects of the investment in relation to the severity of any unrealized loss. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the corporate securities had credit losses at March 31, 2022. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by contractual maturity are shown as follows. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

United determined that there was no individual security that experienced an adverse event during the first quarter. There were no other events or changes in circumstances during the first quarter which would have an adverse effect on the fair value of its cost method securities The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law, approximated $ 1,794,895 and $ 1,871,328 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 4. LOANS AND LEASES Major classes of loans and leases are as follows: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Commercial, financial and agricultural: Owner-occupied commercial real estate $ 1,697,910 $ 1,733,176 Nonowner-occupied commercial real estate 6,047,856 5,957,288 Other commercial 3,533,910 3,462,361 Total commercial, financial & agricultural 11,279,676 11,152,825 Residential real estate 3,705,535 3,691,560 Construction & land development 2,186,126 2,014,165 Consumer: Bankcard 8,398 8,913 Other consumer 1,239,545 1,183,844 Less: Unearned income ( 27,194 ) ( 27,659 ) Total gross loans $ 18,392,086 $ 18,023,648 The table above does not include loans held for sale of $ 340,040 and $ 504,416 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Loans held for sale consist of single-family residential real estate loans originated for sale in the secondary market. United’s subsidiary bank has made loans to the directors and officers of United and its subsidiaries, and to their affiliates. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was $ 32,639 and $ 32,990 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 18 Table of Contents 5. CREDIT QUALITY Management monitors the credit quality of its loans and leases on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan. United considers a loan to be past due when it is 30 days or more past its contractual payment due date. For all loan classes, past due loans and leases are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans and leases for nonaccrual status. Generally, when collection in full of the principal and interest is jeopardized, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 to 120 days past due as to principal or interest. However, regardless of delinquency status, if a loan is fully secured and in the process of collection and resolution of collection is expected in the near term (generally less than 90 days), then the loan will not be placed on nonaccrual status. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income in the current year is reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for credit losses. United’s method of income recognition for loans and leases that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans and leases will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid and the borrower has evidenced their ability to meet the contractual provisions of the note. Generally, a loan is categorized as a TDR if a concession is granted and there is deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. The portfolio of TDR loans is monitored monthly. A loan is categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if a concession is granted and there is deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. A loan classified as a TDR will generally retain such classification until the loan is paid in full. However, a one-to-four-family residential mortgage TDR loan that yields a market rate and demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the restructured note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally one year, is removed from the TDR classification. Interest income on TDRs is accrued at the reduced rate and the loan is returned to performing status once the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the restructured note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six months. TDRs can take the form of a reduction of the stated interest rate, splitting a loan into separate loans and leases with market terms on one loan and concessionary terms on the other loan, receipts of assets from a debtor in partial or full satisfaction of a loan, the extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement, or the reduction of accrued interest or any other concessionary type of renegotiated debt. Under United’s current loan policy, a loan is not recognized as a TDR until it becomes probable that the loan will be a TDR. In response to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its economic impact on our customers, United implemented a short-term modification program that complied with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide temporary payment relief , primarily deferral of payments, to those borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 who were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. This program ended on January 1, 2022. As provided for under the CARES Act, these loan modifications are exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP. As of March 31, 2022, United has 61 eligible loan modifications in deferral under section 4013, “Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings,” of the CARES Act on $ 3,034 of loans outstanding, compared to 188 eligible loan modifications in deferral on $ 18,039 of loans outstanding at December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, United had TDRs of $ 30,582 as compared to $ 35,856 as of December 31, 2021. Of the $ 30,582 aggregate balance of TDRs at March 31, 2022, $ 13,568 was on nonaccrual and $ 4,882 was 30 - 89 days past due. Of the $ 35,856 aggregate balance of TDRs at December 31, 2021, $ 22,421 was on nonaccrual and $ 102 was 90 days or more days past due. All these amounts are included in the appropriate categories in the “Age Analysis of Past Due Loans” table on a subsequent page. As of March 31, 2022, there was a commitment to lend additional funds of $ 49 to a debtor owing a receivable whose terms have been modified in a TDR. During the first three months of 2022, advances of $ 61 were made to this debtor under a loan that had been previously modified. 1 9 Table of Contents The following tables sets forth the balances of TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the reasons for modification: Reason for modification March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Interest rate reduction $ 2,214 $ 3,163 Interest rate reduction and change in terms 1,265 1,412 Concession of principal and term 18 19 Extended maturity 4,990 4,831 Transfer of asset 0 5,407 Change in terms 22,095 21,024 Total $ 30,582 $ 35,856 The following table sets forth United’s troubled debt restructurings that were restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, segregated by class of loans.

United uses the following definitions for risk ratings: • Pass • Special Mention • Substandard • Doubtful For United’s loans with a corporate credit exposure, United analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk. Review and analysis of criticized (special mention-rated loans in the amount of $1,000 or greater) and classified (substandard-rated and worse in the amount of $500 and greater) loans is completed once per quarter. Review of notes with committed exposure of $2,000 or greater is completed at least annually. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, United internally assigns a grade based upon an individual loan’s delinquency status. United reviews and updates, as necessary, these grades on a quarterly basis. Special mention loans, with a corporate credit exposure, have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are past due 30 - 89 days are generally considered special mention. A substandard loan with a corporate credit exposure is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt by the borrower. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. They require more intensive supervision by management. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigants. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and thus, placed on nonaccrual. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are 90 days or more past due or that have been placed on nonaccrual are considered substandard. A loan with corporate credit exposure is classified as doubtful if it has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable. A doubtful loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the loan, its classification as loss is deferred. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Pending events can include mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, capital injections, the perfection of liens on additional collateral, the valuation of collateral, and refinancing. Generally, there are not any loans with a consumer credit exposure that are classified as doubtful. Usually, they are charged-off prior to such a classification. 2 3 Table of Contents Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans and leases by class of loans is as follows:

31, 2021, other real estate owned (“OREO”) included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $ 13,641 and $ 14,823 , respectively. OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment to the fair value at the date of transfer is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent valuation adjustments as well as any costs relating to operating, holding or disposing of the property are recorded in other expense in the period incurred. At March 31, 2022, there were no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process as compared to $ 13 at December 31, 2021. 6. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES United adopted the CECL methodology for measuring credit losses as of January 1, 2020. All disclosures as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented in accordance with ASC Topic 326. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (contractual term). Assets are charged off when United determines that such financial assets are deemed uncollectible or based on regulatory requirements, whichever is earlier. Charge-offs are recognized as a deduction from the allowance for credit losses. Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, not to exceed the aggregate of the amount previously charged-off, are included in determining the necessary reserve at the balance sheet date. United made a policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance separately in its consolidated balance sheets from the amortized cost of a loan. Accrued interest receivable was $ 48,764 ( no allowance for credit losses) and $ 49,029 (net of an allowance for credit losses of $ 8 ) at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to loans and leases are included separately in “Accrued interest receivable” in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to loan interest payment deferrals granted by United under the CARES Act, United assessed the collectability of the accrued interest receivables on these deferring loans and leases. As a result of this assessment, United did not record an allowance for credit 2 7 Table of Contents losses for accrued interest receivables not expected to be collected as of March 31, 2022 as compared to an allowance for credit losses of $ 8 as of December 31, 2021. For all classes of loans and leases receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Interest received on nonaccrual loans and leases, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. The following table represents the accrued interest receivable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Accrued Interest Receivable At March 31, 2022 At December 31, 2021 Commercial Real Estate: Owner-occupied $ 3,742 $ 4,172 Nonowner-occupied 17,305 14,901 Other Commercial 8,544 9,335 Residential Real Estate 9,205 10,347 Construction 7,337 7,411 Consumer: Bankcard 0 0 Other consumer 2,631 2,871 $ 48,764 $ 49,037 Less: Allowance for credit losses ( 0 ) ( 8 ) Total $ 48,764 $ 49,029 The following table represents the accrued interest receivables written off by reversing interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Accrued Interest Receivables Written Off by Reversing Interest Income Three Months Ended March 31 2022 2021 Commercial Real Estate: Owner-occupied $ 0 $ 1 Nonowner-occupied 0 36 Other Commercial 1 6 Residential Real Estate 20 28 Construction 0 0 Consumer: Bankcard 0 0 Other consumer 67 64 Total $ 88 $ 135 United estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or other relevant factors. A reversion to historical loss data occurs via a straight-line method during the year following the one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. 2 8 Table of Contents United pools its loans and leases based on similar risk characteristics in estimating expected credit losses. United has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods: • Method: Probability of Default/Loss Given Default (PD/LGD) • Commercial Real Estate Owner-Occupied • Commercial Real Estate Nonowner-Occupied • Commercial Other • Method: Cohort • Residential Real Estate • Construction & Land Development • Consumer • Bankcard Risk characteristics of commercial real estate owner-occupied loans and commercial other loans and leases are similar in that they are normally dependent upon the borrower’s internal cash flow from operations to service debt. Commercial real estate nonowner-occupied loans differ in that cash flow to service debt is normally dependent on external income from third parties for use of the real estate such as rents, leases and room rates. Residential real estate loans are dependent upon individual borrowers who are affected by changes in general economic conditions, demand for housing and resulting residential real estate valuation. Construction and land development loans are impacted mainly by demand whether for new residential housing or for retail, industrial, office and other types of commercial construction within a given area. Consumer loan pool risk characteristics are influenced by general, regional and local economic conditions. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, but may also include other non-performing loans or TDRs, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. These individually evaluated loans are removed from their respective pools and typically represent collateral dependent loans. In addition, the Company individually evaluates “reasonably expected” TDRs, which are identified by the Company as a loan expected to be classified as a TDR. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and leases, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancelable by United. At the acquisition date, an initial allowance for expected credit losses for non-PCD loans is estimated and recorded as credit loss expense. The subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for all acquired loans is the same as the subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for originated loans. For allowance for credit losses under ASC Topic 326 calculation purposes, United includes its acquired loans and leases in their relevant pool unless they meet the criteria for specific review. United maintains an allowance for loan losses and a reserve for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The reserve for lending-related commitments of $ 36,679 and $ 31,442 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet and is included in other liabilities. The combined allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments is considered the allowance for credit losses. As of March 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses decreased from December 31, 2021 primarily due to better performance trends within the loan portfolio. Reserves are initially determined based on losses identified from the PD/LGD and Cohort models which utilize the Company’s historical information. Then any qualitative adjustments are applied to account for the Company’s view of the future. If current conditions underlying any qualitative adjustment factor were deemed to be materially different than historical conditions, then an adjustment was made for that factor. 2 9 Table of Contents The first quarter of 2022 qualitative adjustments include analyses of the following: • Past events – This includes portfolio trends related to business conditions; past due, nonaccrual, and graded loans and leases; and concentrations. • Current conditions – United considered the impact of inflation, supply chain issues, labor shortages and the conflict in eastern Europe when making determinations related to factor adjustments, such as changes in economic and business conditions, collateral values and external factors. • Reasonable and supportable forecasts – The forecast is determined on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis by relating the correlation of real GDP and the unemployment rate to loss rates to forecasts of those variables. The reasonable and supportable forecast selection is subjective in nature and requires more judgment compared to the other components of the allowance. Assumptions for the economic variables were the following: • The forecast for real GDP shifted downward in the first quarter, from a projection of 4.00 % for 2022 at the end of 2021 to 2.80 % for 2022 with a more level downward future trendline as compared to the end of 2021. The unemployment rate remained fairly consistent to the end of 2021 with a steady trend expected throughout 2022 and 2023. • Greater risk of loss is probable in the hotel and accommodations portfolio due to weakened economic conditions brought on by the pandemic and labor shortages which resulted in a more negative forecast relative to other portfolios and a longer projected recovery period to extend into late 2023 or 2024. • Reversion to historical loss data occurs via a straight-line method during the year following the one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. A progression of the allowance for loan and lease losses, by portfolio segment, for the periods indicated is summarized as follows: Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Carrying Amount of Loans and Leases For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Commercial Real Estate Other Commercial Residential Real Estate Construction & Land Development Bankcard Other Consumer Allowance for Estimated Imprecision Total Owner- occupied Nonowner- occupied Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: Beginning balance $ 14,443 $ 42,156 $ 78,432 $ 26,404 $ 39,395 $ 317 $ 14,869 $ 0 $ 216,016 Charge-offs ( 31 ) ( 0 ) ( 273 ) ( 494 ) ( 2 ) ( 143 ) ( 533 ) 0 ( 1,476 ) Recoveries 6 75 2,149 880 184 1 161 0 3,456 Provision ( 1,059 ) ( 5,566 ) 179 319 2,002 146 577 0 ( 3,402 ) Ending balance $ 13,359 $ 36,665 $ 80,487 $ 27,109 $ 41,579 $ 321 $ 15,074 $ 0 $ 214,594 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Carrying Amount of Loans and Leases For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Commercial Real Estate Other Commercial Residential Real Estate Construction & Land Development Bankcard Other Consumer Allowance for Estimated Imprecision Total Owner- occupied Nonowner- occupied Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: Beginning balance $ 23,354 $ 49,150 $ 78,138 $ 29,125 $ 39,077 $ 322 $ 16,664 $ 0 $ 235,830 Allowance for PCD loans (acquired during the period) 1,241 4,363 5,009 1,192 823 0 1 0 12,629 Charge-offs ( 414 ) ( 3,531 ) ( 6,182 ) ( 6,016 ) ( 560 ) ( 190 ) ( 2,404 ) 0 ( 19,297 ) Recoveries 869 1,907 4,307 2,400 604 42 449 0 10,578 Provision ( 10,607 ) ( 9,733 ) ( 2,840 ) ( 297 ) ( 549 ) 143 159 0 ( 23,724 ) Ending balance $ 14,443 $ 42,156 $ 78,432 $ 26,404 $ 39,395 $ 317 $ 14,869 $ 0 $ 216,016 30 Table of Contents 7.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company initially measures servicing assets and liabilities retained related to the sale of residential loans held for sale (“MSRs”) at fair value, if practicable. For subsequent measurement purposes, the Company measures servicing assets and liabilities based on the lower of cost or market using the amortization method. MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The amortization of the MSRs is analyzed periodically and is adjusted to reflect changes in prepayment rates and other estimates. The Company evaluates potential impairment of MSRs based on the difference between the carrying amount and current estimated fair value of the servicing rights. In determining impairment, the Company aggregates all servicing rights and stratifies them into tranches based on predominant risk characteristics. If impairment exists, a valuation allowance is established for any excess of amortized cost over the current estimated fair value by a charge to income. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Service fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing mortgage loans under servicing agreements with the Federal national Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Federal home loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Government national Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) and certain private investors. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the loans serviced and are recorded in noninterest income. Amortization of MSRs and mortgage servicing costs are charged to expense when incurred. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were approximately $ 3,623,207 at March 31 , 2022 and $ 3,698,998 at December 31 , 2021 . The estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights was $ 37,740 and $ 27,355 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The estimated fair value of servicing rights at March 31, 2022 was determined using a net servicing fee of 0.26 %, average discount rates ranging from 10.50 % to 10.98 % with a weighted average discount rate of 10.61 %, average constant prepayment rates (“CPR”) ranging from 8.02 % to 13.24 % with a weighted average prepayment rate of 9.79 %, depending upon the stratification of the specific servicing right, and a delinquency rate, including loans on forbearance of 2.65 %. The estimated fair value of servicing rights at December 31, 2021 was determined using a net servicing fee of 0.26 %, average discount rates ranging from 10.50 % to 11.71 % with a weighted average discount rate of 10.60 %, average constant prepayment rates (“CPR”) ranging from 12.59 % to 21.20 % with a weighted average prepayment rate of 16.56 %, depending upon the stratification of the specific servicing right, and a delinquency rate, including loans on forbearance of 2.09 %. Please refer to Note 15 in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the fair value of MSRs. 32 Table of Contents The following presents the activity in mortgage servicing rights, including their valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 MSRs beginning balance $ 24,027 $ 22,338 Amount capitalized 687 3,224 Amount amortized ( 1,625 ) ( 2,161 ) MSRs ending balance $ 23,089 $ 23,401 MSRs valuation allowance beginning balance $ ( 883 ) $ ( 1,383 ) Aggregate additions charged and recoveries credited to operations 883 0 MSRs impairment ( 0 ) ( 0 ) MSRs valuation allowance ending balance $ ( 0 ) $ ( 1,383 ) MSRs, net of valuation allowance $ 23,089 $ 22,018 The Company did not record any temporary impairments on mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The estimated amortization expense is based on current information regarding future loan payments and prepayments. Amortization expense could change in future periods based on changes in the volume of prepayments and economic factors. 9. LEASES United determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. United and certain subsidiaries have entered into various noncancelable-operating leases for branch and loan production offices as well as operating facilities. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Presently, United does not have any finance leases. United’s operating leases are subject to renewal options under various terms. United’s operating leases have remaining terms of 1 to 16 years, some of which include options to extend leases generally for periods of 5 years. United rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. Our sublease portfolio generally consists of operating leases to other organizations for former branch offices. ROU assets represent United’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent United’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of United’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that United will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The components of lease expense were as follows: Three Months Ended Classification March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Operating lease cost Net occupancy expense $ 5,129 $ 5,349 Sublease income Net occupancy expense ( 168 ) ( 297 ) Net lease cost $ 4,961 $ 5,052 33 Table of Contents Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: Classification March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Operating lease right-of-use assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 77,097 $ 81,942 Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities $ 81,678 $ 86,703 Other information related to leases was as follows: March 31, 2022 Weighted-average remaining lease term: Operating leases 6.83 years Weighted-average discount rate: Operating leases 2.12 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Cash paid for amounts in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 5,310 $ 5,446 ROU assets obtained in the exchange for lease liabilties 1,601 4,443 Maturities of lease liabilities by year and in the aggregate, under operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, for years subsequent to December 31, 2021, consists of the following as of March 31, 2022: Year Amount 2022 $ 14,371 2023 17,243 2024 12,382 2025 9,256 2026 7,947 Thereafter 26,324 Total lease payments 87,523 Less: imputed interest ( 5,845 ) Total $ 81,678 10. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, short-term borrowings were as follows: As of March 31, 2022 As of December 31, 2021 Federal funds purchased $ 0 $ 0 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 136,370 128,844 Total short-term borrowings $ 136,370 $ 128,844 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase have been a significant source of funds for the company. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase were accounted for as collateralized financial transactions. They were recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. United has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $ 230,000 . These lines of credit, which bear interest at prevailing market rates, permit United to borrow funds in the overnight market, and are renewable annually subject to certain conditions. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase were accounted for as collateralized financial transactions. They were recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. 34 Table of Contents United has a $ 20,000 line of credit with an unrelated financial institution to provide for general liquidity needs. The line is an unsecured, revolving line of credit. The line is renewable on a 360 day basis and carries an indexed, floating-rate of interest. The line requires compliance with various financial and nonfinancial covenants. At March 31 , 2022 , United had no outstanding balance under this credit. 11. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS United’s subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances. All FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a mix of single-family residential mortgage loans, commercial loans and investment securities. At March 31, 2022, United had an unused borrowing amount of approximately $ 7,668,153 available subject to delivery of collateral after certain trigger points. Advances may be called by the FHLB or redeemed by United based on predefined factors and penalties. At March 31, 2022, $ 531,615 of FHLB advances with a weighted-average contractual interest rate of 0.48 % and a weighted-average effective interest rate of 0.55 % are scheduled to mature within the next four years. The weighted-average effective rate considers the effect of any interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges outstanding at March 31, 2022 to manage interest rate risk on its long-term debt. The scheduled maturities of these FHLB borrowings are as follows: Year Amount 2022 $ 520,625 2023 0 2024 0 2025 10,990 2026 and thereafter 0 Total $ 531,615 At March 31, 2022, United had a total of twenty statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in pools of trust preferred capital securities (“Capital Securities”) with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities (“Debentures”) of United. The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial obligations of United, are the sole assets of the trusts and United’s payment under the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for the trusts. United assumed $4,124 in aggregate principal amount of a LIBOR-indexed floating rate subordinated note in the Community Bankers Trust merger. United also assumed $ 10,000 in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes in the Carolina Financial Corporation acquisition. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the subordinated notes was $ 9,877 and $ 9,872 , respectively. At March 31, 202 2 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Debentures was $ 275,743 and $ 275,323 , respectively, and was included in the category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Other long-term borrowings.” The Capital Securities are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. United fully and unconditionally guarantees each individual trust’s obligations under the Capital Securities. Under the provisions of the subordinated debt, United has the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debt at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years . If interest payments on the subordinated debt are deferred, the dividends on the Capital Securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debt is cumulative. In accordance with the fully-phased in “Basel III Capital Rules” as published by United’s primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve, United is unable to consider the Capital Securities as Tier 1 capital, but rather the Capital Securities are included as a component of United’s Tier 2 capital. United can include the Capital Securities in its Tier 2 capital on a permanent basis. 35 Table of Contents 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Lending-related Commitments United is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to alter its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and interest rate swap agreements. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. United’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for the loan commitments and standby letters of credit is the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. United uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Collateral may be obtained, if deemed necessary, based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily, and historically do not, represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. United had approximately $ 7,117,518 and $ 6,847,550 of loan commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, approximately 35% of which contractually expire within one year . Excluded in the March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounts above are commitments to extend credit of $ 714,634 and $ 571,792 , respectively, related to mortgage loan funding commitments of United’s mortgage banking segment which are of a short-term nature. Commercial and standby letters of credit are agreements used by United’s customers as a means of improving their credit standing in their dealings with others. Under these agreements, United guarantees certain financial commitments of its customers. A commercial letter of credit is issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce. Typically, under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, a commitment is drawn upon when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended between the customer and a third party. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, United had $ 17,408 and $ 14,774 of commercial letters of credit outstanding, respectively. A standby letter of credit is generally contingent upon the failure of a customer to perform according to the terms of an underlying contract with a third party. United has issued standby letters of credit of $ 155,933 and $ 164,743 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, United has determined that substantially all of its letters of credit are renewed on an annual basis and the fees associated with these letters of credit are immaterial. Mortgage Repurchase Reserve United’s mortgage banking segment provides for its estimated exposure to repurchase loans previously sold to investors for which borrowers failed to provide full and accurate information on their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or where the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program specified by the loan investor, and for other exposure to its investors related to loan sales activities. United evaluates the merits of each claim and estimates its reserve based on actual and expected claims received and considers the historical amounts paid to settle such claims. United’s mortgage banking segment had a reserve of $ 1,150 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. United has derivative counter-party risk that may arise from the possible inability of United’s mortgage banking segment’s third party investors to meet the terms of their forward sales contracts. United’s mortgage banking segment works with third-party investors that are generally well-capitalized, are investment grade and exhibit strong financial performance to mitigate this risk. United does not expect any third-party investor to fail to meet its obligation. Legal Proceedings United and its subsidiaries are currently involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Management is vigorously pursuing all its legal and factual defenses and, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that all such litigation will be resolved with no material effect on United’s financial position. 36 Table of Contents Regulatory Matters A variety of consumer products, including mortgage and deposit products, and certain fees and charges related to such products, have come under increased regulatory scrutiny. It is possible that regulatory authorities could bring enforcement actions, including civil money penalties, or take other actions against United in regard to these consumer products. United could also determine of its own accord, or be required by regulators, to refund or otherwise make remediation payments to customers in connection with these products. It is not possible at this time for management to assess the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss related to such matters. 13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS United uses derivative instruments to help aid against adverse price changes or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives may consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. United also executes derivative instruments with its commercial banking customers to facilitate its risk management strategies. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. United uses derivative instruments to help aid against adverse price changes or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives may consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. United also executes derivative instruments with its commercial banking customers to facilitate its risk management strategies. During the second quarter of 2020, United entered into a new interest rate swap derivative designated as a cash flow hedge. The notional amount of the cash flow hedge derivative totaled $ 250,000 . The derivative is intended to hedge the changes in cash flows associated with floating rate FHLB borrowings. United is required to pay-fixed 0.59 % and receive-variable 1-month LIBOR with monthly resets. The tenor of the interest rate swap derivative is 10 years with an expiration date in June 2030. During the third quarter of 2020, United entered into an additional interest rate swap derivative designated as a cash flow hedge. The notional amount of the cash flow hedge derivative totaled $ 250,000 . The derivative is intended to hedge the changes in cash flows associated with floating rate FHLB borrowings. United is required to pay-fixed 0.19 % and receive-variable 1-month LIBOR with monthly resets. The tenor of the interest rate swap derivative is 4 years with an expiration date in August 2024. As of March 31, 2022, United has determined that no forecasted transactions related to its cash flow hedges resulted in gains or losses pertaining to cash flow hedge reclassification from AOCI to income because the forecasted transactions became probable of not occurring. United estimates that $ 6,425 will be reclassified from AOCI as an increase to interest expense over the next 12-months following March 31, 2022 related to the cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2022, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is nine years. At inception of a hedge relationship, United formally documents the hedged item, the particular risk management objective, the nature of the risk being hedged, the derivative being used, how effectiveness of the hedge will be assessed and how the ineffectiveness of the hedge will be measured. United also assesses hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis using regression analysis. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by using the change in fair value method. The change in fair value method compares the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative to the change in the fair value of the hedged exposure, attributable to changes in the benchmark rate. United through its mortgage banking subsidiaries enters into interest rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans with its customers. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by United. Interest 37 Table of Contents rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale is managed using corresponding forward mortgage loan sales contracts. United is a party to these forward mortgage loan sales contracts to sell loans servicing released and short sales of mortgage-backed securities. When the interest rate is locked with the borrower, the rate lock commitment, forward sale agreement, and mortgage-backed security position are undesignated derivatives and marked to fair value through earnings. The fair value of the rate lock derivative includes the servicing premium and the interest spread for the difference between retail and wholesale mortgage rates. Income from mortgage banking activities includes the gain recognized for the period presented and associated elements of fair value. United is subject to the Dodd-Frank Act clearing requirement for eligible derivatives. United has executed and cleared eligible derivatives through the London Clearing House (“LCH”). Variation margin at the LCH is distinguished as settled-to-market and settled daily based on the prior day value, rather than collateralized-to-market. The total notional amount of interest rate swap derivatives cleared through the LCH include $ 500,000 for asset derivatives as of March 31, 2022. The related fair value on a net basis approximate zero .

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to m eet the terms of their contracts. United’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional amount of the contract. The Company’s agreements generally contain provisions that limit the unsecured exposure up to an agreed upon threshold. Additionally, the Company attempts to minimize credit risk through certain approval processes established by management.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS United determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, which also clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect United’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows: Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market. Level 3 - Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, United looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities whenever possible and classifies such items in Level 1. When identical assets and liabilities are no t traded in active markets, United looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities and classifies such items as Level 2. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are no t actively traded in observable markets and United must use alternative valuation techniques using unobservable inputs to determine a fair value and classifies such items as Level 3. For assets and liabilities that are no t actively traded, the fair value measurement is based primarily upon estimates that require significant judgment. Therefore, the results may no t be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant in the fair value measurement. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the following describes the valuation techniques used by United to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements. Securities available for sale and equity securities : Securities available for sale and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (“Level 1”). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Using a market approach valuation methodology, third party vendors compile prices based on observable market inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, and “To Be Announced” prices (“Level 40 Table of Contents 2”). Management internally reviews the fair values provided by third party vendors on a monthly basis. Management also performs a quarterly price testing analysis at the individual security level which compares the pricing provided by the third party vendors to an independent pricing source’s valuation of the same securities. Variances that are deemed to be material are reviewed by management. Additionally, to further assess the reliability of the information received from third party vendors, management obtains documentation from third party vendors related to the sources, methodologies, and inputs utilized in valuing securities classified as Level 2. Management analyzes this information to ensure the underlying assumptions appear reasonable. Management also obtains an independent service auditor’s report from third party vendors to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate controls are in place over the valuation process. Upon completing its review of the pricing from third party vendors at March 31, 2022, management determined that the prices provided by its third party pricing sources were reasonable and in line with management’s expectations for the market values of these securities. Therefore, prices obtained from third party vendors that did not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales were not adjusted materially by management at March 31, 2022. Management utilizes a number of factors to determine if a market is inactive, all of which may require a significant level of judgment. Factors that management considers include: a significant widening of the bid-ask spread, a considerable decline in the volume and level of trading activity in the instrument, a significant variance in prices among market participants, and a significant reduction in the level of observable inputs. Any securities available for sale not valued based upon quoted market prices or third party pricing models that consider observable market data are considered Level 3. Currently, United does not have any available-for-sale securities considered as Level 3. Loans held for sale : For residential mortgage loans sold in the mortgage banking segment, the loans closed are recorded at fair value using the fair value option which is measured using valuations from investors for loans with similar characteristics as well as considering the probability of the loan closing (i.e. the “pull-through” rate) (“Level 2”) with some adjusted for the Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing (“Level 3”). The unobservable input for Level 3 valuations is the Company’s historical sales prices. For March 31, 2022, the range of historical sales prices increased the investor’s indicated pricing by a range of 0.07 % to 0.65 % with a weighted average increase of 0.13 %. Derivatives : United utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to interest rate risk and variability of cash flows associated to changes in the underlying interest rate of the hedged item. These hedging interest rate swaps are classified as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. United utilizes third-party vendors for derivative valuation purposes. These vendors determine the appropriate fair value based on a net present value calculation of the cash flows related to the interest rate swaps using primarily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves (“Level 2”). Valuation adjustments to derivative fair values for liquidity and credit risk are also taken into consideration, as well as the likelihood of default by United and derivative counterparties, the net counterparty exposure and the remaining maturities of the positions. Values obtained from third party vendors are typically not adjusted by management. Management internally reviews the derivative values provided by third party vendors on a quarterly basis. All derivative values are tested for reasonableness by management utilizing a net present value calculation. For a fair value hedge, the fair value of the interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability with a corresponding adjustment to the hedged financial instrument. Subsequent adjustments due to changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a fair value hedge are offset in current period earnings either in interest income or interest expense depending on the nature of the hedged financial instrument. For a cash flow hedge, the fair value of the interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Subsequent adjustments due to changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a cash flow hedge are offset to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax and reclassified into earnings in the same line associated with the forecasted transaction when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company records its interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales commitments at fair value determined as the amount that would be required to settle each of these derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. In the normal course of business, United’s mortgage banking subsidiaries enter into contractual interest rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within the timeframes established by the mortgage companies. All borrowers are evaluated for credit 41 Table of Contents worthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the interest rate lock by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to the investor. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, United’s mortgage banking subsidiaries enter into either a forward sales contract to sell loans to investors when using best efforts or a TBA mortgage-backed security under mandatory delivery. Fair values of TBA mortgage-backed securities are measured using valuations from investors for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics (“Level 2”). The forward sales contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. Under the Company’s best efforts model, the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sales contracts to investors through to the date the loan closes are undesignated derivatives and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. These valuations fall into a Level 2 category. For residential mortgage loans sold in the mortgage banking segment, the interest rate lock commitments are recorded at fair value which is measured using valuations from investors for loans with similar characteristics (“Level 2”) with some adjusted for the Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing (“Level 3”). The unobservable input for Level 3 valuations is the Company’s historical sales prices. For March 31, 2022, the range of historical sales prices increased the investor’s indicated pricing by a range of 0.07 % to 0.65 % with a weighted average increase of 0.13 %. For interest rate swap derivatives that are not designated in a hedge relationship, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings in the same period as the change in the fair value. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instruments not in hedge relationship are included in noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively. The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following describes the valuation techniques used by United to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements. Loans held for sale : Loans held for sale within the community banking segment that are delivered on a best efforts basis are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between 45 Table of Contents origination and sale (“Level 2”). As such, United records any fair value adjustments for these loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the year ended March 31, 2022. Gains and losses on sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking activities on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Individually assessed loans : In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Fair value is measured using a market approach based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using comparable property sales (“Level 2”). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (“Level 3”). For individually assessed loans, a specific reserve is established through the allowance for loan losses, if necessary, by estimating the fair value of the underlying collateral on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. OREO : OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. Fair value is determined by one of two market approach methods depending on whether the property has been vacated and an appraisal can be conducted. If the property has yet to be vacated and thus an appraisal cannot be performed, a Brokers Price Opinion (i.e. BPO), is obtained. A BPO represents a best estimate valuation performed by a realtor based on knowledge of current property values and a visual examination of the exterior condition of the property. Once the property is subsequently vacated, a formal appraisal is obtained and the recorded asset value appropriately adjusted. On the other hand, if the OREO property has been vacated and an appraisal can be conducted, the fair value of the property is determined based upon the appraisal using a market approach. An authorized independent appraiser conducts appraisals for United. Appraisals for property other than ongoing construction are based on consideration of comparable property sales (“Level 2”). In contrast, valuation of ongoing construction assets requires some degree of professional judgment. In conducting an appraisal for ongoing construction property, the appraiser develops two appraised amounts: an “as is” appraised value and a “completed” value. Based on professional judgment and their knowledge of the particular situation, management determines the appropriate fair value to be utilized for such property (“Level 3”). As a matter of policy, valuations are reviewed at least annually and appraisals are generally updated on a bi-annual basis with values lowered as necessary. Intangible Assets : For United, intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or sooner if indicators of impairment exist. United may elect to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is more-likely-than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If United elects to bypass this qualitative analysis, or concludes via qualitative analysis that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, United may use either a market or income quantitative approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. At each reporting date, the Company considers potential indicators of impairment. United performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the Company’s reporting units as of September 30, 2021. The goodwill impairment test did not identify any goodwill impairment. In subsequent periods, economic uncertainty and volatility surrounding COVID-19 and the performance of the Company’s stock as well as possible other impairment indicators could cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test which could result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period if the carrying value of goodwill was found to exceed fair value. Core deposit intangibles relate to the estimated value of the deposit base of acquired institutions. Management reviews core deposit intangible assets on an annual basis, or sooner if indicators of impairment exist, and evaluates changes in facts and circumstances that may indicate impairment in the carrying value. No other fair value measurement of intangible assets was made during the first three months of 2022 and 2021. 46 Table of Contents Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”): A mortgage servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans are expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing. The Company initially measures servicing assets and liabilities retained related to the sale of residential loans held for sale (“mortgage servicing rights”) at fair value. For subsequent measurement purposes, the Company measures servicing assets and liabilities using the amortization method on a quarterly basis. The quarterly determination of fair value of servicing rights is provided by a third party and is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The unobservable inputs for Level 3 valuations are market discount rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, projected delinquency rates, and ancillary fee income net of servicing costs. For the unobservable inputs used in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, refer to Note 8 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company did no t record any temporary impairment of mortgage servicing rights in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Securities held to maturity and other securities : The estimated fair values of securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the 47 Table of Contents fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data. Any securities held to maturity, not valued based upon the methods above, are valued based on a discounted cash flow methodology using appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting nonperformance and liquidity risks. Other securities consist mainly of shares of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock that do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at cost. Loans and leases : The fair values of certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of other loans and leases (e.g., commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans and agricultural loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans and leases with similar terms to borrowers of similar creditworthiness, which include adjustments for liquidity concerns. For acquired PCD loans, fair value is assumed to equal United’s carrying value, which represents the present value of expected future principal and interest cash flows, as adjusted for any Allowance for Credit Losses recorded for these loans. Deposits : The fair values of demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, regular savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and any other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. Long-term Borrowings: The fair values of United’s Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and trust preferred securities are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on United’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION On May 12, 2020, United’s shareholders approved the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2020 LTI Plan”). The 2020 LTI Plan became effective May 13, 2020. An award granted under the 2020 LTI Plan may consist of any non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units or other-stock-based award. These awards all relate to the common stock of United. The maximum number of shares of United common stock which may be issued under the 2020 LTI Plan is 2,300,000 . The 2020 LTI Plan will be administered by a board committee appointed by United’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) shall administer the 2020 LTI Plan. The maximum number of options and stock appreciation rights, in the aggregate, which may be awarded to any individual key employee during any calendar year is 100,000 . The maximum number of options and stock appreciation rights, in the aggregate, which may be awarded to any non-employee director during any calendar year is 10,000 or, if such Award is payable in cash, the Fair Market Value equivalent thereof. The maximum number of shares of restricted stock or shares subject to a restricted stock units award that may be granted during any calendar year is 225,000 shares to any individual key employee and 10,000 shares to any individual non-employee director. Subject to certain change in control provisions, the 2020 LTI Plan provides that all awards of will vest as the Committee determines in the award agreement, provided that no awards will vest sooner than 1/3 per year over the first three anniversaries of the award. United adopted a clawback policy that applies to named executive officers and other executive officers and permits the Committee to cancel certain awards and to recoup gains realized from previous awards should United be required to prepare an accounting restatement due to materially inaccurate performance metrics. A Form S-8 was filed on May 29, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register all the shares which were available for the 2020 LTI Plan. The 2020 LTI Plan replaces the 2016 LTI Plan. Compensation expense of $ 2,061 and $ 1,688 related to the nonvested awards under United’s Long-Term Incentive Plans was incurred for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Compensation expense was included in employee compensation in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Stock Options United currently has options outstanding from various option plans other than the 2020 LTI Plan (the “Prior Plans”); however, no common shares of United stock are available for grants under the Prior Plans as these plans have expired. Awards outstanding under the Prior Plans will remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms. The maximum term for options granted under the plans is ten ( 10 ) years. 49 Table of Contents A summary of activity under United’s stock option plans as of March 31 , 2022 , and the changes during the first three months of 2022 are presented below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Shares Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Yrs.)

All shares issued in connection with stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were issued from authorized and unissued stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised under the Plans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $ 3,856 and $ 1,408 respectively. Restricted Stock Under the 2020 LTI Plan, United may award restricted common shares to key employees and non-employee directors. Restricted shares granted to participants will vest no sooner than 1/3 per year over the first three anniversaries of the award. Unless determined by the Committee or the Board and provided in the award agreement, recipients of restricted shares do not pay any consideration to United for the shares, have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and receive all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested. Presently, these nonvested participating securities have an immaterial impact on diluted earnings per share. The following summarizes the changes to United’s nonvested restricted common shares for the period ended March 31, 2022: Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Nonvested at January 1, 2022 383,971 $ 35.21 Granted 154,568 36.26 Vested ( 149,811 ) 35.79 Forfeited ( 6,212 ) 35.85 Nonvested at March 31, 2022 382,516 $ 35.40 Restricted Stock Units Under the 2020 LTI Plan, United may grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to key employees. These awards help align the interests of these employees with the interests of the shareholders of United by providing economic value directly related to the performance of the Company. These RSU grants could be time-vested RSUs, performance-vested RSUs, or a 50 Table of Contents combination of both. Currently, time-vested RSUs vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. Performance-vested RSUs cliff-vest after assessment of the Company’s performance over a period of three years. The number of performance-vested RSUs that vest is determined by two metrics measured relative to peers: Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”) and Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”). Based on ASC Topic 718, the ROATCE comparison is considered a performance condition while the TSR comparison is considered a market condition. There will be no payout of the performance-vested awards if the threshold performance is not achieved. United communicates the specific threshold, target, and maximum performance-vested RSU awards and performance targets to the applicable key employees at the beginning of a performance period. Dividends are accrued but not paid in respect to the awards until the RSUs vest. The holder does not have the right to vote the shares during the time and performance periods. The value of the time-vested RSUs and the performance-vested, based on the performance condition, RSUs awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant. The value of the performance-vested, based on the market condition, RSUs awarded is estimated through the use of a Monte Carlo valuation model as of the grant date. The Company recognizes expense on the RSUs in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS United has a defined benefit retirement plan covering qualified employees hired prior to October 1, 2007. Pension benefits are based on years of service and the average of the employee’s highest five consecutive plan years of basic compensation paid during the ten plan years preceding the date of determination. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. No discretionary contributions were made during the first quarter of 2022 and 2021. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2021 are unrecognized actuarial losses of $ 44,370 ($ 34,032 net of tax) that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost. Net periodic pension cost for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 included the following components: Three Months Ended March 31 2022 2021 Service cost $ 703 $ 750 Interest cost 1,208 1,020 Expected return on plan assets ( 3,193 ) ( 2,924 ) Recognized net actuarial loss 824 1,572 Net periodic pension (benefit) cost $ ( 458 ) $ 418 Weighted-Average Assumptions: Discount Rate 3.08 % 2.81 % Expected return on assets 6.25 % 6.25 % Rate of Compensation Increase (prior to age 40) 5.00 % 5.00 % Rate of Compensation Increase (ages 40-54) 4.00 % 4.00 % Rate of Compensation Increase (prior to age 45) n/ a n/ a Rate of Compensation Increase (otherwise) 3.50 % 3.50 % 51 Table of Contents 17.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are entities that either have a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (i.e., ability to make significant decisions, through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity). VIEs can be structured as corporations, trusts, partnerships, or other legal entities. United’s business practices include relationships with certain VIEs. For United, the business purpose of these relationships primarily consists of funding activities in the form of issuing trust preferred securities. United currently sponsors twenty statutory business trusts that were created for the purpose of raising funds that originally qualified for Tier I regulatory capital. As previously discussed, these trusts now are considered Tier II regulatory capital. These trusts, of which several were acquired through bank acquisitions, issued or participated in pools of trust preferred capital securities to third-party investors with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities of United. The Company, through a small capital contribution, owns 100 % of the voting equity shares of each trust. The assets, liabilities, operations, and cash flows of each trust are solely related to the issuance, administration, and repayment of the preferred equity securities held by third-party investors. United fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of each trust and is obligated to redeem the junior subordinated debentures upon maturity. United does not consolidate these trusts as it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities because United’s wholly owned and indirect wholly owned statutory trust subsidiaries do not have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs. A controlling financial interest is present when an enterprise has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE.

United invests in these partnerships to either realize tax credits on its consolidated federal income tax return or for purposes of earning a return on its investment. These partnerships are considered VIEs as the limited partners lack a controlling financial interest in the entities through their inability to make decisions that have a significant effect on the operations and success of the partnerships. United’s limited partner interests in these entities is immaterial, however; these partnerships are not consolidated as United is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

SEGMENT INFORMATION United operates in two business segments: community banking and mortgage banking. Through its community banking segment, United offers a full range of products and services through various delivery channels. In particular, the community banking segment includes both commercial and consumer lending and provides customers with such products as commercial loans, real estate loans, business financing and consumer loans. In addition, this segment provides customers with several choices of deposit products including demand deposit accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit as well as investment and financial advisory services to businesses and individuals, including financial planning, retirement/estate planning, and investment management. The mortgage banking segment engages primarily in the origination and acquisition of residential mortgages for sale into the secondary market though United’s mortgage banking subsidiaries, George Mason and Crescent. Crescent may retain servicing rights on their mortgage loans sold. At certain times, Crescent may purchase rights to service loans from third parties. These rights, which are known as mortgage servicing rights, provide the owner with the contractual right to receive a stream of cash flows in exchange for performing specified mortgage servicing functions. The community banking segment provides the mortgage banking segment (George Mason and Crescent) with short-term funds to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest based on the 30-day LIBOR rate. These transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. The Company does not have any operating segments other than those reported. The “Other” category consists of financial information not directly attributable to a specific segment, including interest income from investments and net securities gains or losses of parent companies and their non-banking subsidiaries, interest expense related to subordinated notes of unconsolidated subsidiaries as well as the elimination of non-segment related intercompany transactions such as management fees. The “Other” represents an overhead function rather than an operating segment. 55 Table of Contents Information about the reportable segments and reconciliation of this information to the consolidated financial statements at and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows: At and For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Community Banking Mortgage Banking Other Intersegment Eliminations Consolidated Net interest income $ 189,682 $ 2,317 $ ( 2,125 ) $ 1,628 $ 191,502 Provision for credit losses ( 3,410 ) 0 0 0 ( 3,410 ) Other income 24,899 23,397 ( 60 ) ( 2,213 ) 46,023 Other expense 114,537 25,448 ( 227 ) ( 585 ) 139,173 Income taxes 20,429 57 ( 388 ) 0 20,098 Net income (loss) $ 83,025 $ 209 $ ( 1,570 ) $ 0 $ 81,664 Total assets (liabilities) $ 29,030,100 $ 589,503 $ 39,940 $ ( 294,032 ) $ 29,365,511 Average assets (liabilities) 29,023,901 475,243 33,357 ( 187,979 ) 29,344,522 At and For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Community Banking Mortgage Banking Other Intersegment Eliminations Consolidated Net interest income $ 187,197 $ 2,650 $ ( 2,138 ) $ 3,251 $ 190,960 Provision for credit losses 143 0 0 0 143 Other income 26,388 67,507 1,521 ( 2,843 ) 92,573 Other expense 110,017 41,183 ( 2,681 ) 408 148,927 Income taxes 21,202 5,940 423 0 27,565 Net income (loss) $ 82,223 $ 23,034 $ 1,641 $ 0 $ 106,898 Total assets (liabilities) $ 26,625,449 $ 930,481 $ 40,862 $ ( 566,037 ) $ 27,030,755 Average assets (liabilities) 26,154,094 716,744 23,029 ( 402,751 ) 26,491,116
