Fixed-to-Floating
Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share (the Series F Preferred
Stock) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC). The preliminary offering circular attached as an exhibit to the registration statement includes a Recent Developments section which presents preliminary

a result, the preliminary financial information of the Bank presented in the Recent Developments section is not necessarily indicative of the Companys financial condition or results of operations for the same periods or for the quarter and
year ended December 31, 2018. The audit of the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles is in process, but is not
yet complete.

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include the preliminary financial information relating to the Bank presented in Exhibit 99.1, and important factors that could cause the Banks actual results to
differ from this preliminary financial information are addressed in Exhibit 99.1. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect the Companys results and financial condition, see Risk Factors in

The offering of the Series F Preferred Stock by the Bank is exempt from the

with the FDIC but has not yet become effective. This Current Report on Form

does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, and shall not constitute an offer,
solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock are neither insured
nor approved by the FDIC or the Utah Department of Financial Institutions.
In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form
