Headwinds

- Regulatory and/or legal issues related to the pre-acquisition operations of an acquired or combined business may cause reputational harm to Peoples following the acquisition or combination.
- Integration of the acquired or combined business with ours may result in additional future costs arising as a result of those issues.
