Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; the parties’ inability to meet expectations regarding the timing of the proposed merger; the challenges of integrating and retaining key employees; the risk that integration of First Minnetonka City Bank’s operations with those of Bridgewater Bank will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected; changes to tax legislation and their potential effects on the accounting for the proposed merger; the failure of the proposed merger to close for any reason, including the failure to satisfy the closing conditions in the merger agreement prior to the completion of the proposed merger; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the proposed merger; the effect of the proposed merger on Bridgewater Bank’s, First Minnetonka City Bank’s or the combined bank’s respective customer and employee relationships and operating results; the possibility that the proposed merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the amount of First Minnetonka City Bank’s Tier 1 capital as of the closing date of the proposed merger and any potential adjustments to the merger consideration; changes in the global economy and financial market conditions and the business, results of operations and financial condition of Bridgewater Bank, First Minnetonka City Bank and the combined company; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by Bridgewater with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
