+Added: For PCD loans and leases, an initial allowance is determined based on the same methodology as other portfolio loans and leases.

+Added: 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 $ 20,906 ,000 at Acquisition Date.
+Added: This discount will be recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans which is estimated at December 31, 2025 to be a weighted-average of 5.50 years.
+Added: 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 at December 31, 2025 is estimated to be a weighted-average of 4.80 years.
+Added: The total fair value mark on the non-PCD loans at the Acquisition Date was $ 43,159 ,000
+Added: At the Acquisition Date, an initial allowance for expected loan and lease losses of $ 18,726 ,000

+Added: In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Piedmont’s provision for credit losses for 2025 and 2024 that may not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of 2025 and 2024.
+Added: 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.
