Pinnacle was classified as “well capitalized” at the end of 2016. At December 31, 2016, total risk-based capital was 19.91% for the subsidiary bank.

All capital ratios are significantly higher than the requirements for a well-capitalized institution.

Dividends of $.11 and $.44 per share were paid to shareholders during the three months and year ended for December 31, 2016, and 2015.

Despite the Company’s good financial performance during the last several years, Mr. Nolen cautioned investors that any negative changes to economic conditions could have an adverse effect on Pinnacle’s borrowers and their customers, which could adversely affect Pinnacle’s financial condition and results of operations.

Deterioration in local economic conditions in Pinnacle’s markets could drive losses beyond those which are provided for in the allowance for loan losses and result in a number of adverse consequences, including increases in loan delinquencies; increases in nonperforming assets; decreases in demand for Pinnacle’s products and services, which could affect Pinnacle’s liquidity position; and decreases in the value of the collateral securing Pinnacle’s loans, which could reduce customers’ borrowing power.

Information contained in this press release, other than historical information, may be considered forward-looking in nature and is subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected.
