Explanation of Responses:
(1)	On February 7, 2019, the reporting person received a grant of market restricted with a service-based component as well as a Total Shareholder Return Multiplier (the "2019 MRSUs"). These 2019 MRSUs were included on the Form 3 filed on February 1, 2022 by the reporting person (the "Form 3"). On February 7, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the service-based vesting component of the 2019 MRSUs, the third tranche of such award vested. Based upon the Total Shareholder Return Multiplier, the reporting person received 179 additional shares of the Company's restricted stock, such shares representing the amount vested in excess of the target amount of 2019 MRSUs initially included on the Form 3. In addition, the reporting person received 120 shares of the Company's restricted stock through the accrual of dividend equivalents.
(2)	On February 7, 2019, the reporting person received a grant of performance stock units (the "PSUs") with a service-based vesting component as well as a performance vesting requirement. These PSUs were included on the Form 3. While the reporting person has satisfied the service-based vesting requirement, the actual amount of PSUs which vested on February 7, 2022 was 0% of the target amount based upon the results of two performance measures during the performance period compared to the performance formula approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of Synovus' Board of Directors. As such, the reporting person received 3,608 less shares (which includes the award plus dividend equivalent rights on those underlying shares) than initially included on the Form 3.
(3)	These shares were withheld upon the vesting of 2019 MRSUs to pay tax withholding obligations.
