AS a result of the merger of Coastal with Ameris Bancorp, which is effective as of June 30, 2014, the options to acquire Coastal shares have been automatically converted in their entirety into options to purchase 18,684 shares of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of Ameris at an exercise price of $37.46 per share. These options will expire on 12-31-2017.
