Properties, in its own words

The Holding Company’s principal offices and the Bank’s headquarters, which we own, are located at 200 East Camperdown Way, Greenville, South Carolina. As of December 31, 2025, we operated 199 banking offices located throughout Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Alabama. We do not own or lease any single physical property that we consider to be materially important to our financial condition or results from operations. Our retail branches, ATMs, ITMs, loan and mortgage production offices and administrative offices remain important to our ability to deliver financial services to a large portion of our clients. For many years, branch usage by clients has slowly declined, and as a result, we have slowly consolidated branch locations in response to changing utilization patterns. We expect that long-term trend to continue. We consider our properties to be suitable and adequate for operating our banking business. Notes 7 and 13 to our consolidated financial statements include additional information regarding investments in premises and equipment and leased properties.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS INC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 17, 2026: 45 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • We may be unable to successfully implement our strategy to grow our banking businesses.
  • Failure to achieve one or more key elements needed for successful business acquisitions (including the integration of those businesses) could adversely affect our business and earnings.
  • Failure to achieve one or more key elements needed for successful organic growth could adversely affect our business and earnings.
  • We are subject to intense competition for clients and the nature of that competition is rapidly evolving.
  • Failure to keep pace with technological changes could adversely affect our business.
  • Our traditional approach to customer service, which is highly effective when executed in a physical branch with in-person interactions, may be less effective as customer habits and preferences evolve.
  • The nature of technology-driven disruption to our industry is changing, in some cases seeking to displace traditional financial service providers rather than merely enhance traditional services or their delivery.
  • Fraud is a major, and increasing, operational risk for financial institutions.
  • Our ability to conduct and grow our businesses depends in part upon our ability to create, maintain, expand, and evolve an appropriate operational and organizational infrastructure, manage expenses, and recruit and retain personnel with the ability to manage a complex business.
  • A serious information technology security (cybersecurity) breach can cause significant damage and may be difficult to detect even after it occurs.
  • Cyberattacks are increasing in number and sophistication and we may be unable to anticipate or prevent such attacks.
  • We may be adversely affected by disruptions in information technology and telecommunications systems on which we rely, including those of third-party service providers where we may have limited or no control over operational functionality.
The other 33 risks
  • Our risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risks and/or losses.
  • We may not be able to attract and retain management-level and specialized talent.
  • Our inability to retain and attract experienced bankers could negatively affect our growth.
  • Our accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on analytical and forecasting models.
  • Inflationary pressures present a potential threat to our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Generally, in periods of economic volatility, our realized credit losses increase, demand for our products and services declines, and the credit quality of our loan portfolio declines.
  • Federal Reserve strategies can, and often are intended to, affect the domestic money supply, inflation, interest rates, and the shape of the yield curve.
  • We are subject to interest rate risk because a significant portion of our business involves borrowing and lending money, and investing in financial instruments.
  • High volatility in the yield curve, including sharp movements on and changes in the slope of the curve, can complicate or reduce the efficacy of our balance sheet management practices. Significant changes in the yield curve may also reduce our net interest margin and adversely affect our loan and investment portfolios.
  • Our ability to conduct and grow our businesses, and to obtain and retain clients, is highly dependent upon external perceptions of our business practices and financial stability.
  • We face the risk that our clients may not repay their loans or other obligations and that the realizable value of collateral may be insufficient to avoid a charge-off.
  • We are exposed to higher credit and concentration risk from our CRE, commercial and industrial and commercial construction lending.
  • If our allowance for credit losses is not large enough to cover losses in our loan portfolio, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
  • We are subject to a challenging regulatory environment that restricts our activities.
  • Failure to maintain certain regulatory capital levels and ratios could result in regulatory actions that would be materially adverse to our shareholders.
  • Political dysfunction and volatility within the federal government, both at the regulatory and Congressional level, creates significant potential for major and abrupt shifts in federal policy regarding bank regulation, taxes, and the economy, any of which could have significant and adverse impacts on our business and financial performance.
  • Legal disputes are an unavoidable part of business, and the outcome of pending or threatened litigation cannot be predicted with any certainty.
  • Data privacy is becoming a major business and political concern. The laws governing it are new, and are likely to evolve and expand.
  • Liquidity is essential to our business model and a lack of liquidity, or an increase in the cost of liquidity, could materially impair our ability to fund our operations and jeopardize our results of operation, financial condition and cash flows.
  • A downgrade of our credit rating could limit our access to borrowings and increase our borrowing costs.
  • The proportion of our deposit account balances that exceed FDIC insurance limits may expose us to enhanced liquidity risk in times of financial distress.
  • The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the financial statements.
  • In addition, changes in accounting standards or interpretations could negatively affect our reported earnings and financial condition.
  • We could be subject to changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations or challenges to our income tax provision.
  • Our internal controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.
  • We are subject to risks of operating in various jurisdictions.
  • Natural disasters and weather-related events, exacerbated by climate change, could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
  • The inability of our subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends or other distributions to the Holding Company could adversely affect its liquidity and ability to declare and pay dividends.
  • Holders of our indebtedness have rights that are senior to those of our common shareholders.
  • Our stock price can be volatile.
  • Our corporate organizational documents and the provisions of Georgia law to which we are subject contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult or prevent an attempted acquisition of United that you may favor.
  • Our stockholders may suffer dilution if we raise capital through public or private equity financings to fund our operations, to increase our capital, or to expand.
  • Pandemics and disease outbreaks, acts of terrorism and other adverse external events may lead to periods of significant volatility in financial and other markets, and could adversely affect our ability to conduct normal business and could harm our clients, businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of operations, we are parties to various legal proceedings and periodic regulatory examinations and investigations. There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our properties are subject.
