--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Purchase price ~$1.9B cash (~7% premium to par value); estimated $109M pre-tax benefit, 3% TBV accretion, +145bps CET1.
- Transaction expected to close Q3 2026; subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions; no financing contingency for buyer.
- Navitas is 10% of total loans but ~50% of net charge-offs (LTM); sale significantly reduces United's risk profile.
- Pro forma loan-to-deposit ratio of 74%; excess liquidity reinvested in securities yielding 4.0-4.5% with <2-year duration.
- United plans to evaluate capital deployment alternatives post-close, including organic growth, buybacks, and in-market M&A.
