Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements



Statements included in this communication, which are not historical in nature
are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements for
purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking
statements are based on, among other things, management's beliefs, assumptions,
current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services
industry, the economy and SouthState. Words and phrases such as "may,"
"approximately," "continue," "should," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "is
likely," "look ahead," "look forward," "believes," "will," "intends,"
"estimates," "strategy," "plan," "could," "potential," "possible" and variations
of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements.

SouthState cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with
regard to, among other things, timing, extent, likelihood and degree of
occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
anticipated results. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, among
others, the following: (1) economic downturn risk, potentially resulting in
deterioration in the credit markets, inflation, greater than expected
noninterest expenses, excessive loan losses and other negative consequences,
which risks could be exacerbated by potential continued negative economic
developments resulting from the Covid19 pandemic, or from federal spending cuts
and/or one or more federal budget-related impasses or actions; (2) interest rate
risk primarily resulting from the interest rate environment, rising interest
rates, and their impact on the Bank's earnings, including from the correspondent
and mortgage divisions, housing demand, the market value of the bank's loan and
securities portfolios, and the market value of SouthState's equity; (3) risks
related to the merger and integration of SouthState and CSFL including, among
others, (i) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the
merger may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be
realized, (ii) the risk that the parties are unable to successfully integrate
each party's businesses into the other's businesses, (iii) the amount of the
costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the merger, and (iv) reputational
risk and the reaction of each company's customers, suppliers, employees or other
business partners to the merger; (4) risks related to the merger and integration
of SouthState and Atlantic Capital including, among others, (i) the risk that
the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the merger may not be fully
realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, (ii) the risk that
the integration of Atlantic Capital's operations into SouthState's operations
will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected or
that the parties are otherwise unable to successfully integrate Atlantic
Capital's businesses into SouthState's businesses, (iii) the amount of the
costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the merger, and (iv) reputational
risk and the reaction of each company's customers, suppliers, employees or other
business partners to the merger; (5) risks relating to the continued impact of
the Covid19 pandemic on the Company, including possible impact to the Company
and its employees from contacting Covid19, and to efficiencies and the control
environment due to the changing work environment and to our results of
operations due to government stimulus and other interventions to mitigate the
impact of the pandemic; (6) the impact of increasing digitization of the banking
industry and movement of customers to on-line platforms, and the possible impact
on the Bank's results of operations, customer base, expenses, suppliers and
operations; (7) controls and procedures risk, including the potential failure or
circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with
regulations related to controls and procedures; (8) potential deterioration in
real estate values; (9) the impact of competition with other financial
institutions, including pricing pressures (including those resulting from the
CARES Act) and the resulting impact, including as a result of compression to net
interest margin; (10)

acquire are not available on terms acceptable to SouthState; (15) price risk
focusing on changes in market factors that may affect the value of traded
instruments in "mark-to-market" portfolios; (16) transaction risk arising from
problems with service or product delivery; (17) compliance risk involving risk
to earnings or capital resulting from violations of or nonconformance with laws,
rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; (18) regulatory
change risk resulting from new laws, rules, regulations, accounting principles,
proscribed practices or ethical standards, including, without limitation, the
possibility that regulatory agencies may require higher levels of capital above
the current regulatory-mandated minimums and including the impact of the CARES
Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulations, and the possibility
of changes in accounting standards, policies, principles and practices,
including changes in accounting principles relating to loan loss recognition
(CECL); (19) strategic risk resulting from adverse business decisions or
improper implementation of business decisions; (20) reputation risk that
adversely affects earnings or capital arising from negative public opinion; (21)

other factors; (29) ownership dilution risk associated with potential

acquired company; (30) operational, technological, cultural, regulatory, legal,
credit and other risks associated with the exploration, consummation and
integration of potential future acquisitions, whether involving stock or cash
consideration; (31) major catastrophes such as hurricanes, tornados,
earthquakes, floods or other natural or human disasters, including infectious

disruption to local, regional and global economic activity and financial
markets, and the impact that any of the foregoing may have on SouthState and its
customers and other constituencies; (32) terrorist activities risk that results
in loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions; and (33) other factors
