Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Crestmark will be recorded by Meta at their respective fair values as of the date the merger is completed. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with (i) Meta’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Meta’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/ prospectus, (ii) Meta’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Meta’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and (iii) Crestmark’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Crestmark Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries Financial Statements.” Meta’s fiscal year ends on September 30 while Crestmark’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 and the three months ended December 31, 2017 is presented as if the merger was consummated on October 1, 2016, the first business day of Meta’s 2017 fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 combines Meta’s audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 with Crestmark’s audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (in each case, the most recently completed fiscal year). As a result of the different fiscal year ends, and in order to present results for comparable periods, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 combines Meta’s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2017 with Crestmark’s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of December 31, 2017 gives effect to the merger as if it occurred on December 31, 2017, and combines the historical balance sheets of Meta and Crestmark as of December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies and asset dispositions, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and currently available information, some of which assumptions cannot be finalized until the consummation of the merger. 96
